G. Town send, chairman of the free intellectual activities committee, in charge of this year’s lecture series, says in a communication to the Safety Valve today. The Emerald misunderstood the purpose of these lectures, when it announced through its editorial columns that they were to be "in layman’s tongue.” The first lecture proved conclu sively that the series was intended for those with a sound foun dation in the subject under discussion. Dr. Townsend’s letter continues with the statement that the lectures are "on the frontiers of knowledge. There are many undergraduates . . . who need contact with working scholar ship.” After all it is perhaps more important that those with serious scholastic intentions should be given the knowledge they crave than that those who are “easing it along” should have something which they refuse to assimilate crammed down their throats. As Dr. Townsend remarks, “Sotfi people like to be told what they already know and others are trying to find out what they don’t know.” Two Outstanding Musicians "VTESTERDAY'S Emerald carried an announcement of a con cert to be played Sunday afternoon by the University Sym phony orchestra, with Frances Brockman and Howard Halbert as soloists. Here is a chance for Oregon students to find out what it was in these student musicians that brought such hearty praise from Georges Enesco when he heard Halbert during his visit here several weeks ago. Their future is unbounded. To have two such students in the University is a stroke of the best possible good fortune. There is not another University in the country that can show the abundance of talent that will be heard Sunday afternoon. Miss Brockman is undisputedly the best violinist of her age in the West. Halbert is one of the three best junior artists in the nation. This is not mere bragging, but recitation of their standing acquired through awards won in competition. Perhaps the virtues of Rex Underwood as a teacher have not been sufficiently well publicized. Perhaps other students equally gifted have not had such splendid training, and so have not yet reached the public eye and ear. But aside from the might-have-beens, Oregon students can hear two of the finest violinists playing on the same program next Sunday. That opportunity will not come again soon. Make the most of it. It is the students’ own orchestra. Make its pride your pleasure. A Flyer Dies rJ~VHERE is much that is remarkable about the career of Eddie Stinson, pioneer airman, who died yesterday as tiie result of his first and last eraek-up. What made Stinson the outstanding flyer that lie was, was the same spirit that carried him through 1,500,000 air miles without a parachute. Sixty times around the world, approxi mately, without a thought of danger. He had built ids own planes, and he believed in them. Fourteen thousand hours in the air—that’s flying. Happy landing, Eddie! An English archeologist has established the identity of Moses’ foster mother. But we re still waiting to find out where lie was when the light went out. Rain, slush, and sloppy basketball—that’s January in Eugene. OREGON SAFETY VALVE -- An Outlet for Campus Steam _ liNIVEKH1T V LK( TIKES To the Editor: Calling names will not buy the baby a new dress. There is no dis grace < in . having > auv'clehientary knowledge of a subject but there i~ alou no disgrace m having a i more advanced knowledge. The j University community would not 1 be the better either for the luck of beginners or of more mature schol- | .ars. * The • University vlettuios pro vided during this term can hard!.'’ J hr. expected to speak LUc laugua^e i I of the entire community without sacrificing a very real value. That they are on the frontiers of knowl edge implies that the hearers shall already have developed an interest in the field and some elementary acquaintance mith materials, meth ods and results. A university is a university. We have many grad uate students, professional stu dents, and teachers who need the stimulus of advanced thinking. There are even many undergrad uates who have gotten consider ably beyond the level of the gener al survey course and Who need con tact with working scholarship. I know that in calling for lec tures of an elementary sort you do not intend to suggest that they should supplant the ones already offered. If the demand is great enough the Committee on Free In tellectual Activities will undertake to supply such lectures as you in dicate. We have not done it be cause we thought the field was al ready pretty well occupied. The announcement of such “talks” ap pear in nearly every issue of your paper and we have no reason to think that the younger students are without opportunity to hear about all sorts of interesting things. You have already shown a creditable perception of the difference be tween popular expositions of popu lar topics and the report of authen tic scholarship. I hope you will continue to do your share in rais ing the level of the intellectual life of the campus by encouraging students to strive forward in learn ing rather than to be complacent at the level already reached. Some people like to be told what they already know and others are try ing to find out what they don’t know. Sincerely yours, H. G. TOWNSEND. r-■ 1 --1-- --,i CAMPUS ♦ ♦ ALENDAR Congress club wil'x meet over the College Side Inn at 7:30 this eve ning. The Campus Chess club will meet tonight at 7:30 at the Y hut.

Entire Personnel Donates To Unemployment Aid Recent stories in the Emerald pertaining to ttie unemployment relief fund created by donations of one day’s pay from salaries of the personnel of state schools, have been giving the wrong impression, say officials at the University cashier’s office. The accounts have stated that “the faculty of the school have been giving one day’s pay from each month to go for a fund to aid in giving employment to persons in Oregon and students working their ways through state colleges.” This has omitted the large num ber of employees other than pro fessors and other faculty members who have been doing their bit by also giving to the fund. Every engineer, fireman, jani tor, and gardener in the Univer sity’s payroll is included in this re lief project.

CRACKERS FOR UNEMPLOYED Possibility of using Ohio State university’s famous “super-crack er” in feeding hungry unemployed men and women and their families is under consideration by relief or ganizations. The synthetic cracker, developed by Dr. John F. Lyman of the de partment of agricultural chemistry at Ohio State university and La Vaughn Dennison, graduate stu dent, is said to contain all of the staple elements necessary for a normal human diet, and costs only five cents a pound. Two pounds of the cracker a day are sufficient to satisfy the appe tite of the average man. “I do not believe that the crack er will be widely used at first,” be lieves Dr. Lyman, “but eventually man will overcome his psychologi cal reaction against making an en tire meal of such wholesome, in expensive food.” SOPHS MOST STUDIOUS The results of a study carried on by the curriculum committee at Bryn Mawr show that sophomores work most, then seniors, then jun iors, and lastly freshmen, . who work just about the normal amount of time. JAZZ OUSTED AT BARNARD “Boisterous” orchestras, whose assertedly raucous music grated upon the aesthetic sensibilities of Barnard college chaperons, have been banned as rhythm-makers at student dances. Instead, string ensembles, with all wind instruments conspicuous ly absense, will be approved. This became known a few days after a recent French club dance, which was provided with the serv ices of a popular orchestra. The latter, however, failed to meet the chaperon's specifications as to “propriety,” and, as a result, ar tistic-appearing gentlemen with far-away looks and stringed instru 1 ments were engaged for a dance sponsored last week by the Ber nard dramatic society. V. OF W. TO OWN SHIP A pier which will serve as the anchorage for the University of Washington's proposed floating laboratory, the “Catalyst,” is be ing completed at a cost of $5932. The "Catalyst” itself will be a specially designed ship soon to be built for oceanographic studies along the Pacific coast as far north as Alaska. The boat will have ac commodations for 12 members of the university staff and a crew of four and will have a 2500-mile cruising range. Money for the construction of the vessel was provided by the Rockefeller foundation, which has given a total of $50,000 to the oceanography department. RADIO WAVES STUDIED Studies to determine the action of radio waves in the immediate vicinity of a transmitter are being conducted at Ohio State university with the aid of a balloon. A small transmitted attached to a 12-foot hydrogen balloon is used to send signals from various heights, and the characteristics of the resultant waves are noted, ac cording to Professor Ervin E. Dreese, chairman of the electrical engineering department, who is in charge of the experiments. Grad . uate students working with him hope to collect sufficient data to justify the formulation of a gen eral theory describing the behav ■ ior of radio waves under certain | conditions. ATHLETES BECOME CREMES Statistics reveal that sixty for mer college athletic heroes are now j presidents of colleges and univer sities in the United States. COLLEGE FI NMES NEXT?

Tune No. 1 on this rec ord shows his ability to take a dance tune, do it up in almost con cert style, and still lose little of the toe-tickling effect. The queer catch-time of the piece gives plen ty of opportunity for novelty in strumental effects, and they’re fun to listen to. This one may remind you of a theatre orchestra doing a black-out. The second number on the record doesn’t stand out as well as the first in either novelty or dance time. A lack of fundamental rhythm makes the piece quite sug gestive of night itself, but makes it difficult to dance to. It is done in a soft, haunting manner, and the melody is very sweet. The record is at White-Marlatt’s.
