W. Elwood Smith Delivers Phi Beta Kappa Address Exhorts Scholars To Feci Proml of Attainment, Organization "Phi Beta Kappa exists for the purpose of taking the curse off scholarship,” declared Dean W. Klwood Smith, of the school of basic arts and sciences at Oregon State college, last night at the Phi Beta Kappa banquet honoring the Senior Six elected this fail. "It does this,” Dean Smith added, "by creating an atmosphere and by setting an example. Even incompetence is more dignified if supported by an organization.” He described a club called Kappa Beta Phi, which is elected from the lowest section of the class. Its members proudly wore the largest clock keys obtainable. "When the world says, ‘Phi Beta Kappans, you are anachron isms,’ ” he continued, "you can say, ‘Yes, and proud of it.’ We stand for things that are not timely, but timeless. We don’t be long to any age, but—I hope—to every age.” The initiation of the Senior Six, Mary Katherine Fenton, Elizabeth Shields Hall, Arthur Ireland, Thelma Lund, David C. Williams, and Elaine Williams, took place at fi:30 yesterday afternoon in Alum ni hall of the Gerlinger building. Frederic S. Dunn, of the Latin department, was toastmaster at the banquet, held at the men’s dormitory at 6:30. John H. Muel ler, of the sociology department, president of the local Phi Beta Kappa chapter, officially wel comed the six new Phi Beta Kap pans. "We have found that election to Phi Beta Kappa is a responsibility, not a reward for attainment,” Ar thur Ireland responded for the Senior Six. Agnes Petzold sang two French songs, "Close by the Walls of Sevilla,” from Carmen by Bizet; "Hindoo Song,” by Bemberg, and an English selection, “Five Eyes,” by Gibbs. She was accompanied by Mary Galey. Oregon’s Debate Plan Wins Praise At North Carolina Largo Attendance Increases Results From Trial of New System CHAPEL HILL, N. C.—(Special to Emerald)—A 1500 per cent in crease in debate attendance oc curred at the University of North Carolina when a change was made from the old method of debating to Ibe new Oregon plan. Outstanding features of the new system are: (1) There are no judges. (2) Speakers attempt to influence the belief of audience upon the question rather than up on the ability of the speakers. (3) Cross-examinations are held in which the debater may interrupt their opponents. Four hundred heard the first debate conducted under the new method as com pared to the 25 who were accus tomed to attend the old style de bates. The Oregon plan of debating was adopted on this campus in 1927 when J. Stanley Gray was in charge of the speech division. Wal ter E. Hempstead, present instruc tor in the speech division, was de bate manager at that time. When the round-the-world de bate team, consisting of Hemp stead, Avery Thompson and Benoit MeCroskey made their tour they distributed literature explaining the Oregon plan among a numbei of other colleges, and also used the plan in many of their debates thus helping give it the popularity that it now has.

From Other College # • Circles OTT W ITH WINTER WOOLENS Rub your blue fingers, you col lege students up in Idaho, warns students at Leyden university in Amsterdam, and shiver a bit when the sun goes under a cloud down at Rollins, if you wish, but neither of you knows what it is 'to be cold— speaking relatively. Over at the Holland university Dr. W. Keesom has succeeded in cooling a space of ten cubic centi meters to 0.75 of a degree K. If you don't think that’s cold, listen —K is the abbreviation for the ab solute zero, which is 491 degrees below zero on your frat house ther mometer. The cold that Dr. Kee som has created, therefore, is just 489 degrees below zero as you boys and girls figure it. Put that in your pipe and watch the barrel crack! BATTLE LASTS TWO YEARS Baths haven’t bothered the early English stained glass in Menton college chapel at Oxford for some time. It is to get its first cleaning since 1700, and some of the glass hasn’t been touched since 1620. But, get a load of this—the bath it’s going to get will take two years. The glass is so valuable that the cellar in which the bath is to take place is locked and guarded constantly. GINGHAM GALS TO GALLOP “Gingham Gals’ Gallop” has been selected as the name for the first of the women's choice dances to be given during the leap year by the Washington State college chap ter of Mortar Board, national sen ior women’s honorary. A “campus king” will be elected as a feature of the leap year dance, which will be held on January 23. Co-eds will have the opportunity of voting for their favorite col legians. STUDENTS DEMAND GUSHER Inspired by the equivalent of a 70 per cent cut in the University of North Carolina’s appropriations for the rest of the year, an edi torial on the front page of the Daily Tar Heel, student news paper, suggested that the univer sity be abolished unless it were possible to “discover oil or gold on the university property.” ALARM CLOCKS FADDISH From the Stanford campus comes a helpful suggestion for co eds who find compliance with sorority locking-up hours espe cially difficult to observe. Because a California girl could never seem to reach the door be fore it closed, she bought an alarm clock and set the alarm for a time that would enable her to return before the “gates” went down. However, the scheme wasn’t fool-proof, so there was bound to be an accident. Once, while tucket away in her escort’s overcoat pocket, the alarm went off in a restaurant and caused a genera! exodus of the patrons who thought it was a fire signal. CLASS HEARS THENEMANN Karl F.

Abbie Green, '28, new manager for the Grove, announces that his band will perform every Friday and Saturday night throughout the year, except on evenings when a dance would con flict with campus functions. The interior of the Grove is be ing rearranged; a new grand piano is being installed; and the floor has been repaired and sanded, Green said. Arrangements are un der way to operate a sandwich and coffee concession during the dances. Trios and other special numbers, featuring campus talent, are promised. Green’s 10-piece band is well known on the campus, having pro vided the music for the sophomore informal, the Christmas college ball, and the Krazy Kopy Krawl. It is billed to play at the senior ball February 6. Throughout the season the band will play at the McDonald theater every Friday night for the first performance, preceding the dance.

NEW SERVICE LAUNDRY 859 HIGH STREET PHONE 825 Personnel Office Starts New File For Faculty Use Minnesota Plan Is Adopted For Collecting Data On Students A new file has been started in the personnel offices for the ex change of counselling information among faculty members, according to Karl W. Onthank, dean of per sonnel administration. This exchange system has been installed to meet the need for some arrangement by which ad visers can have ready access to in formation about students which other faculty members have al ready obtained. The plan that is being followed in this respect is an adaptation of the plan used at the University of Minnesota, which was highly recommended by mem bers of the Oregon staff who are familiar with it. The workings of the exchange, as outlined by the dean of person nel in the faculty bulletin, is sim ply using the personnel offices as a clearing house. An adviser or any other faculty member, when ! he has, through a conference with a student, gained information likely to be helpful to other staff members, notifies the personnel of fice. A card has been provided for this purpose, on which both the student’s name and the adviser’s name is listed. These cards are kept on file in the offices of the dean of women and dean of men. Those faculty members wishing information about a student need only call these offices and obtain the names of the staff members who have the information about the student. The Fidac medal for outstanding service in promotion of interna tional good will has been given this year to Vassar college, a wo men’s college. i TALKIE TOPICS ► Heilig—“Under Eighteen,” featur-j ing Marian Marsh. Showing till Friday. Colonial — “Notre Dame-Southern California Game” pictures. Is showing till Saturday. Rex—“Reckless Living,” with Ri cardo Cortez. Showing today and tomorrow. State—“Forgotten Women,” star ring Marion Shilling. Showing today only. McDonald—“Dance Team,” star ring Jimmy Dunn and Sally Eilers. Showing for the last time today. By ROY SHEEDY Heilig Appearing opposite John Barry more in two pictures gave Marion Marsh the start that has eventu ally brought her stardom, the ve hicle being “Under Eighteen,” which plays today and tomorrow at the lower Willamette street theatre. Marion is charming as a poor working girl who wants to get rich by good means or other wise, and she is ably supported by an almost faultless cast. The plot is very old, but the acting and direction go far towards making up for it. There is much good comedy and light romance in the film. Margie is in love with a hard working though improvident truck driver, played with verve by Regis Toomey. The latter is one of these moralizing fellows who’s always afraid Margie will step into the path of sin. She doesn’t quite. Warren William, who should be getting better parts, is a wealthy guy in a pent-house, the kind who are alv»iys making young truck drivers suspicious. The film is really much better than it sounds, however. Anita Page is surpris ingly good as the young wife harassed by a lazy husband. That > girl will be an actress yet. This is likeable Jimmy Dunn, who, with Sally Eilers, is starring in “Dance Team,” which is show ing at the McDonald for the last time today. By RALPH MASON McDonald “Bad Girl’’ might have been good, but Jimmy Dunn and Sally Eilers have put it beneath the sod in their latest, “Dance Team.” This picture gives these two comparative youngsters a fine chance to display their talents. Dunn as the enthusiastic Jimmy Mulligan hopes to become a fa mous dancer. Eilers as Poppy Kirk becomes convinced in Jim my’s scheme and they form a dance team called Mulligan and Kirk. Their many-sided, humor ous, sometimes wistful adventures on their road to fame are a con stant source of delight. The humanness of this pair their simple, unaffected speech anc manner set them distinctly aparl from others. The dialogue is clever, being written by Edwii Burke. Others in the cast ar< Minna Gombell, Edward cranaau, and Nora Lane. A university pastor can safely see this picture, no foolin'. "Sooky,” starring Jackie Cooper and Robert Coogan, comes tomor row' for a two-day run. » * » “Forgotten Women” at State If you’re any kind of a movie fan and all of us are, at least, to some extent, you will enjoy "For gotten Women,” playing at the State theatre today only. "Forgot ten Women” gives us a remark able insight into the lives of the people who make the motion pic tures, and it does not stop there, but it also gives us one of the first authentic depictions of how sound pictures are actually made. The cast is composed of Marion Schilling, the Wampus baby star, Rex Bell, Beryl Mercer, and Car melita Geraghty. "The Pocatello Kid,” featuring Ken Maynard, and the eighth chapter of “King of the Wild” will play Friday and Saturday. * * * Football Pictures at Colonial The first showing of the com plete pictures of the Notre Dame Southern California footall game will be shown at the Colonial for the next three days. Mae Clark at Rex Ricardo Cortez and Mae Clark are starring in "Reckless Living,” which is showing today and Fri day at the Rex. BURRELL TO BE HONORED A dinner honoring O. K.
