Must Fees Go Higher?
rpHE presidential election will be held on "the Tuesday fol
lowing the first Monday” of next November. 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.

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.

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.

BOOKS OF THE DAY
EDITED BY ROY SHEEDY
Editor’s Note: For those people
! who love to sit up until the early
hours of a winter morning at
tempting to unravel the mystery
of how Lord Rafflebury was mur
dered in his den the night after his
second cousin left for Abbysinia,
this column has adopted the policy
of reviewing a detective story each
j week. 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.
