On the same day the people of Oregon will decide at the polls whether or not the state's five institutions of higher learning are to receive adequate financial support. With its budget crippled by the referendum petition on the current appropriation of the state legislature, the University is now halfway through a year of activity made possible only by a hand-to-mouth system of curtailment and stringent economy. The medical school at Portland has lost the major portion of its income and must be supported by funds wrenched from Eugene departments. The present situation is tolerable only in the hope that it will be remedied by a sane voting public nine months from now. If it is not, other sources of income will have to be tapped. The most obvious source is the students; a still larger proportion of the cost of education will fall on their shoulders. All of us have friends who would have found some means of financing this school-year if they could have hurdled the Initial obstacle of fees. To raise the ante still higher would mean further depreciation in the size of the student body. We students have been strangely apathetic about the whole educational squabble ever since it began. We have regarded it for the most part as an interesting conflict between University .and College administration, state government, and board of higher education. It is time we realized that they are the sur geons and we the ultimate victims of whatever operation may be decided upon by the consulting specialists. If the fees are raised, the “operation” will probably be an extraction of the right to an education for another three hun dred or so of us. h . , i Foreign Movies Come /CONTINUATION of a feature started last year by the Fac ulty club is announced in a recent news item. Foreign motion pictures will again be brought to the campus, affording students an opportunity to see films which otherwise would not • be shown in Eugene. Seven pictures, starting Thursday with a French movie, "Le Million,” will be sponsored this term by the. club. The advantage which these movies afford for those taking various foreign languages is not to be overlooked. Here’s i chance to absorb French without having to answer! In case one's French isn’t so hot, a ‘‘clever device,” not explained in the news story, will make the presentations intelligible. The high quality of pictures offered last year by the Faculty club has made the anticipation of this year’s series particularly keen. Injection of these movies into the campus program fills a niche hitherto neglected. With His Compliments Jj'KOM S. Stephenson Smith, associate professor of English, comes this refreshing tidbit for editorial consumption: "I tldnk your paper has been too full of this popular bally hooing, and that your sense of values lias been corrupted.” In all humility we profess that we have often erred in our judgment ami perhaps supported the wrong side of questions, but we frankly feel Professor Smith is a trifle harsh in his con demnation of what he terms our "ballyhoo” of matters of popu lar interest. In an early issue the Emerald commended the plan of the ■ I tee Intellectual Activities committee to present a series of lectures appealing to a larger circle of students. We welcomed an opportunity to give to the campus a more scholarly acquaint ance with members of the faculty. Any effort to raise the scho lastie ideals of the student body was to our mind most praise worthy. No one is more appreciative of scholarly and technical lec tures than the staff of tlie Emerald. They are of incalculable value and should be encouraged and fostered. But we still main tain that there is a delinite need for more addresses that are within the range of comprehension of the majority of Uie stu dent body. Yehudi Menuhin, the child-prodigy violinist, lias blossomed out in his lirst long trousers, we hear. Business must be good lot the musicians, or the trousers may be hand-me-downs. We're not sure.

Khvanians Hear Goiiklin On Palmistry, Phrenology Dr. Edmund S. Conklin of the University psychology department was the principal speaker for the weekly luncheon and meeting of the Eugene Kiwanis club Monday noon at the Osburn hotel. His talk was devoted to showing the fallacies of the so-called for tune teller. The discussions in cluded palmists and others who predict the future. He pointed out that it was inaccurate to judge a character by bumps on the head, lines in the hand, and the many other methods used. No way has been found as yet to tell the fu ture by physical appearance, he concluded.

But they like to see us have a go at the “strong, silentman’s smoke”—a com panionable, time proven pipe. There is some thing satisfying about a pipe. It’s a slow, reflective, liard-thinkmg smoke —or a calm, relaxing, restful smoke. The hunter’s smoke, the fisherman's smoke, the engineer’s smoke—a man's smoke, through and through.

Here is the first. I MURDER IN A HOSPITAL The Dutch Shoe Mystery, by Ellery ! Queen. Frederick A. Stokes. By JANET FITCH It is a queer thing about mystery I stories. Lately their authors have been trying so hard to give away the secret of the crime that after the third page—or possibly the fourth—the reader says, “Nerts! It was the butler,” and slams the book shut. However, “The Dutch Shoe Mys tery” does not contain a butler anywhere on the premises. The au thor, Ellery Queen, confidently and with all due regard for everybody’s feelings, inserts toward the end— the end, mind you!—challenge; “I hope you will try, because it is an interesting task; and I have given you all the clues now, so you should be able to; but I do not think you can solve this mystery. Go right ahead, don't mind me.” And you do, and you can't. This is an amazingly good tale. The scene is a hospital. You are supposed to guess how, in the midst of nurses, doctors, and in ternes, a woman under treatment and being prepared for an opera tion could be murdered, so quietly that nobody would know she was dead until the operation began. To add to the general confusion, prac tically everybody, it seems, had motive and opportunity and all those other things, and nobody— least of all you—seems to be able to find out which one of them, if any, did it. There is a hopeless fog —until Ellery Queen (the young detective, who is his own Watson, is not at all obnoxious, and has no Harvard accent) suddenly solves it and nastily keeps it a secret. From then on, it is touch and go for any body who happens to interrupt you. The story is swift, and always exciting; also thoughtful, with a constant atmosphere of mental ten sion which gets communicated to the reader very, very soon. Not recommended for relaxation; it is impossible to read it without try ing desperately to keep up with Ellery Queen, who is no slouch. in , ■■■■p,—bp————————r 3-Piece Smoking Set WHERE YOUR DOLLAR HAS MORE CENTS (1) PIPE- (2) ZIPPER POUCH (3) CAN OF TOBACCO Regular $1.60 Value $1.29 UNIVERSITY PHARMACY 11TH AND AL11ER E-ngravei ky JdiinHeldjs^, "SO.
