-What They Don’t Know
<<'T'HE University lectures provided during this term can
hardly be expected to speak the language of the entire
community without sacrificing a very real value,” H. 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.

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.

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.

Recent Records Reviewed
By LARRY FISCHER
She Didn’t Say “Yes”
The Night Was Made for Love
Leo Reisman and his Orchestra
This record is far from being up
to the usual run of Reisman’s
dance numbers, but it is undoubt
edly up front as far as novelty is
concerned. 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.
