that golf and tennis not be played

before the head A. S. U. O. body.
The University of Washington
board of control this week removed
the two sports from competition.
Oregon’s inability to secure play

incomes from football last fall,
make similar action necessary
here, officials declare.

Exotic Motive Used
For Mural * Work
In Dormitory Den
pAGAN love, kegs of beer,
Amazon women, saloons,
and brawny sailors in white
winged ships were the elements
that inspired Jo Wiseman and
Eleanor Patten, art students, to
create an alluring recreation
room for the Omega hall men.
Choosing this work for .their
term project, the two girls have
depicted “Why Sailors Leave
Home” by means of a clever
mural on the walls, while a huge
mariner’s compass painted on
the floor gives an added atmos
phere to the den, which will be
supplied with suitable furniture
as soon as the paint has dried.

Chosen Topic of
Weekly Meetings
First Discussion Is Slated
For Thursday Evening
At Y.M.C.A. Hut
A series of studies on "The New
Civilization” is being arranged
by Dean Philip A. Parsons and a
group of faculty men in conjunc
tion with a committee from the
University Y. M. C. A., headed by
Don Saunders.
The first of the eight weekly
meetings will be held Thursday
night at 7:30, when Dean Parsons
will open the series with a talk on
the question, "How is the New
Civilization Different.” Approxi
mately half of each session will be
devoted to questions and discus
sion.
What are the machine, mass pro
duction, world-wide communica
tion, the scientific temper of mind,
doing to our civilization? Does
die present economic depression in
dicate that our capitalistic civili
zation is breaking down ? Is edu
cation today adequate for the type
af living into which we must fit
tomorrow? Is art being throttled
ir inspired by the forces of modern
ife ? These and other similar
questions will be studied during
:he series, R. B. Porter, secretary
if the Y, said yesterday.

Students, Professors Voice
Ideas on Salaried Schooling
By ELINOR HENRY
Imagine, if you can, that every
high school and college student in
the United States should receive a
salary, scaled according to how
long he has been in school, in pay
ment for his work there.
Such would be the case if a bill
to be introduced in congress soon
by Senator James Hamilton Lewis,
Democrat, of Illinois, were to pass.
“We have more than 7,000,000
persons between the ages of 14 to
21 who have left school and gone
to work,” declared Casper L. Red
field, Chicago attorney, inventor,
and author, originator of the idea
for the bill. “If we should shift
them from industry to school and
pay them for their work in school,
the jobs they are holding could be
filled by unemployed.”
But all is not as rosy as it seems,
according to students and faculty
members who read the story,
though a few expressed themselves
in favor of the idea.
“If the student flunked out, it
looks as though he would go on
nd get his increase just the same,"
remarked Dean James H. Gilbert,
i of the school of literature, science,
\ and the arts. “The indiscriminate
j subsidization of students, regard
less of qualifications, is something
of which no educator would ap
prove.”
Thelma Lund, senior in educa
tion, had almost the same criti
cism to make of the scheme. “One
I shouldn't take the viewpoint that
some students aren't worth educat
j ing, I suppose, but that is a teach
er's way of looking at it.”
“A lot of people would go to
school just to get the money and
bluff their way through,” Gardner
; Frye, freshman in social science,
j believed.
A more cheerful viewpoint was
taken by Charles McClung, sopho
more in business administration.
“That'd be a fine idea!” he ex

Junior Vodvil
Superseded by
Musical Show
Herbert’s Operetta, ‘Red
Mill,’ Slated
Newman To Head Staff for
Staging of Parisian
Musical Comedy
“The Red Mill,” operetta by Vic
tor Herbert, was definitely chosen
by the junior class last night to
replace the customary Junior Vod
vil, after the musical production
had been recommended by a stu
dent committee and after sanction
of the presentation had been se
cured from the dean of women.
Ethan Newman, who has been
named head of the production staff
of the play, said that it was chosen
because of its universal popularity
and adaptability to production.
There will be only two scenes in
volved, the cast will take eighteen
principals, and there will be a
chorus of about thirty.
The music of the operetta has
been described as stirring and live
ly. There will be breaks between
scenes when incidental campus en
tertainment can be introduced. Roy
Bryson, voice instructor in the
school of music will have charge
of the musical end of the producr
tion.
Tryouts for parts will be held
within a few days.
Exact announcement of days will
be made in the Emerald by New
man. The play will be given some
time in March.
Discussion was also held con
cerning Junior Shine day. The
class voted to continue this feature
and the date will be set for some
time in February.
Honolulu Maids
Like Snow, More
Snow on Campus
“Snow! Do we like it?”
“No, love it.”
“Give us snow and more snow,
and we will be happy,” enthusias
tically exclaimed three Honolulu
maidens.
“I’ve been waiting for the snow
and now it is here, just pouring
down in cold, white flakes,” sput
tered Dorothy Andrade as she
stood out in the open, head thrown
back, mouth open, trying to get
as much snow as possible into her
mouth.
“I’m having the grandest time
cutting classes, dodging snow
balls, and playing in the snow
which makes the nicest squdgy
sound when one .walks on it. And
it feels so cold and soft! I think
I’ll take some back home to cool
off cokes with,” she remarked ab
sently, too busy making a snow
ball.
“I had a perfect time trying to
build a snow man, but the snow
was too soft, and he wouldn’t
stand up,” Elaine Untermann said,
looking out the window at the fail
ing snow. “I've been initiated to
the snow, too, as I’ve had my face
washed and cold slippery snow put
down my back. It’s the grandest
experience!”
“Wish it would snow the rest of
the term,” said Mary Ella Horn
ung, hopefully. “I’m crazy about
it and have had more fun today
building snow men and making
snowballs to throw at people. I
love to walk in it, it packs down
so hard and white. People back
home don’t realize what they’re !
missing.” Then she proceeded to !
have a snow fight with some i
friends.
*Journey’s End% War Drama
Opens Run Tomorroiv Night
1
Four Performances Slated
By Student Actors on
Guild Stage
“Journey’s End,” which will open
on the Guild theatre stage tomor
row evening at 8:30, neared com
pletion last night at the final com
plete dress rehearsal.
"Journey’s End” offers the peo
ple of Eugene their first real op
portunity to see a Broadway suc
cess within three years of its in
itial run on the great white way.
Arne G. Rae, professor in the
school school of journalism, who
saw the play near the close of its
two-year run in New York, stated
that it was the most powerful
dramatization he had ever seen.
He was particularly impressed
with the setting, which he de
scribed as being the most solid he
has ever seen in any stage pro
duction. This is made possible by
the fact that there is only one
scene throrughout the play. All
action takes place in a dugout in
the front line trenches of a British
sector.
The element of suspense is car
ried out to perfection by the author
and this with the psychological ef
fect created by the gloomy appear
ance of the dugout and by tlie lines,
holds the audience on the edge of
expectancy throughout the per
formance.
The play is not all depressing by
any means. Throughout the whole
runs a current of humor that pro
duces a smile at just the time when
a smile is needed to relieve the
tension.
Seats for the production are go
ing fast, according to Chuck
Jones, business manager. Phone
and mail orders have been coming
in since Monday noon when the
box office first opened. The box
office will be open every afternoon
and evening this week.
There will be four performances
during the run. The curtain will
rise at 8:30 on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday nights, and at 2:30
Saturday afternoon. All seats sell
for 50 cents, and reservations may
be made at the box office.

In the right with two or three.”
Toll the bell for liberalism.
Fate fired both barrels into
the liberal camp yesterday, and
the echo is resounding through
out the land wherever men read

Ninety-one year old Justice
Oliver Wendell Holmes resigned
from the supreme court bench,
after thirty years of battle for
“human rights.” And for twen
ty-eight of the thirty years he
was in the minority. He stood
by his guns. Mr. Holmes, I sa

From Salem (aptly named af
ter the New England witch
burning town) comes a four-to
three decision of the supreme
court upholding the vicious
criminal syndicalism law enact- j
ad in the post war days of “red”
hysteria. An ignorant foreigner
will spend ten years in the peni
tentiary simply for belonging
to the Communist party. Thom

Welcomes Debate
Squad’s Arrival
Directing a plea to students to
make the University a leader in
the struggle for world unity and
peace, and giving first-hand im
pressions of the countries they
have visited in the last seven
months, Robert Miller, Dave Wil
son and Roger Pfaff, members of
the Pacific Basin Good Will team,
yesterday morning addressed the
first student body assembly of the
term.
The program climaxed the cam
pus welcome to the three seniors,
who returned last Friday to Eu
gene from their 35,000-mile tour.
Brian Mimnaugh, president of the
associated students, in introducing
the good-will ambassadors stressed
the fact that the tour was entirely '
a student enterprise and coupled
with the round-the-world debate
trip made in 1927 by three other
Oregon undergraduates had
arought the University recognition
as international debate champions
af the world.
Miller, manager of the Pacific
Basin team, was the first speaker.
Students in every country visited,
ae said, were working for peace
and should be joined by the college
population of the United States.
False opinions of American life
and culture held in countries bor
lering the Pacific were outlined by
Wilson, the tour’s publicity direc
:or. “America is in the headlines 1
abroad,” Wilson said, “but so is

Pioneers Again in Tie for
Northwest Conference
Pennant Honors
WASHINGTON STATE COL
LEGE, Pullman, Jan. 12.—(Special
to the Emerald.)—A sensational
second-half rally tonight gave the
Oregon basketball team a 42-to-29
victory over Washington State,
rated as favorites to cop the
Northwest title. Oregon’s victory
throws the Northern division race
into a five-way tie.
Oregon led in the first half until
a Cougar rally netted eight points
in the last three minutes and tied
the score at 18-all. McLarney
missed two free throws after the
gun went off.
Cougars’ Lead Brief
Holsten, Cougar forward, tossed
in a free throw to give Washington
State a momentary lead in the
second period, but Oregon opened
with everything it had and did not
let up until the game was ended.
The Cougar block plays failed to
work as they had in previous
games.
Spook Robertson, sophomore
Webfoot forward, was the out
standing performer on the floor,
shooting baskets from all corners
of the floor. He scored seven fieid
goals and one conversion for a
total of 15 points. Captain Calk
ins, Oregon, made 13 points.
Roberts in Form
Cap Roberts, Oregon pivot man,
blocked out Huntley Gordon, the
Cougars’ sensational center, on
practically every rebound play, and
put up a good defensive fight.
Cross, W. S. C. forward, was the
best all-around performer for the
losers. McLarney was high point
man for the Cougars with nine.
