VOLUME XXXIII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 1932 NUMBER 65 Loan Fund Aid Asked To Help U.O. Students Only $90 Available Now, Dr. Hall Finds President Issues Plea to the Citizens of Slate For Gifts Many worthy students will be forced to leave school this term, and many others will not be able jterm unless gen ierous-minded cit izens of the state add to the stu ident loan fund here. This was revealed here yes terday when gifts to aid this fund was issued by Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, University Dr. Hall president, after he was informed by Virgil D. Earl, dean of men, that the loan fund would be exhausted before the end of the term. This year, due to economic con ditions, it has been hard for stu dents to find work during the school year, while many were un able to earn substantial sums last summer. As a result the available loan funds on .hand have been ex hausted early each term this year. During the spring term 37 students had to leave here due to lack of funds, and during the term just past this number rose to 72. Al ready 12 have left this term, which is but four weeks old. Average Loan $129 Since the opening of school this year a total of $11,510 has been loaned to 89 students, the average loan being $129. With funds on hand and estimated collections, it is found that $4,495 will be avail able during the next few weeks. Of this amount loans in transit and applications total $4400, leaving but $90 available for students who have not yet made their needs known, it is stated. “At this time it is particularly desirable that students be kept in the University if it is at all possi ble,” Dr. Hall said. “It is difficult for them to find employment else where, and furthermore, should they go out and get jobs, they - would be taking positions badly needed by men who have depend ents to support. It is also much better for the students not to have their studies interrupted in the (Continued on Page Two) February 1 Made Deadline For Hilton Prize Contest Final day for entry in the Hil ton Prize contest open to students in the law school was set yester day as Monday, February 1, by Orlando J. Hollis, in charge of ar rangements. The contest is for oral discus sions on the subject previously chosen, with a first prize of $50 offered by Frank H. Hilton of Portland, and additional prizes of $25 and $15 offered by the law school. Pianist Jane .Thacher, pianist, who will appear with John Stark Evans, or ganist, in the twilight recital at 5 o’clock tomorrow afternoon. Pianist, Organist Join in Sunday’s Twilight Concert Jane Thaelier Will Assist Evans in Featured Special Number The regular Sunday twilight or gan recital by John Stark Evans scheduled for tomorrow at 5 is one of unusual interest because of the presence of Jane Thacher, pro fessor of piano in the school of music, on the program as piano soloist. Mrs. Thacher is acclaimed one of the finest of women musicians in the country today. She has given concerts on the coast as well as in other parts of the country, and thereby has acquired a large fol lowing. Her musical education is as com plete as can be secured today, as she spent many years in Europe studying under the world’s best known living teacher of music, Theador Leschetizky. The Concerto in A-minor by Grieg which Mrs. Thacher will play with the assistance of Mr. Evans at the organ, is one which requires an unusually masterful technique of the artist. Mexican College Chooses Wright Summer Sponsor Word has just been received by Professor Leavitt O. Wright, of the department of Romance lan guages, that he has been made a sponsor for the 1932 summer ses sion of the University of Guaddla jara, located in the capital city of the state of Jalisco, Mexico. Mr. Wright will be supplied with detailed information about the courses offered, the trips planned and the rate available for those who care to spend a very pleasant and profitable six weeks in a typi cal Mexican city which is yet un spoiled by foreign influence, and is gay, hospitable and charming, he said. 'Stormy Steve’ Carney Sees Bright Future for Aviation True to his name, btormy* Steve” Carney, Portland aviator, J arrived on the campus yesterday | with weather conditions at their i worst. Unable to make the trip by plane in the usual one hour’s time, Carney was forced to pilot his trusty flivver ‘‘Mayflower” to Eugene in three hours and a half —a slow trip for one accustomed to hopping between cities via the airways. Carney, a flying enthusiast since his high school days, is only wait- ; ing for a turn in business condi tions to see aviation forge ahead as the nation’s leading industry, he says. Flying’s future is unlimited, he believes. ‘‘Stormy Steve” won his cogno men at the Tex Rankin School of Flying in Portland, where, as a student, he soloed on a clear day and ran into an unseen storm sev eral thousand feet up. Carney is now selling planes and courses in instruction for Rankin. On the campus, ‘‘Stormy Steve” is a guest of Willis Duniway.

Debaters Face Two California Teams Today Whittier College Arguers Here for Dual Meet Central Control of Industry Question Selected for Forensic Clashes Oregon’s varsity debate team will hold a dual debate today with the debate squad from Whittier college, Whittier, California. The question for debate is ‘‘Resolved: That congress should enact legis lation providing for central con trol of industry.” The Oregon af firmative team, Wallace Campbell and Rolla Reedy, will meet the Whittier negative team, Miller and Nixon, at 110 Johnson at 2 o’clock.

The other schools of the North west to be visited by the team in clude the College of Puget Sound, Whitman college, and Pacific uni versity. In addition to these de bates the team will hold several model debates before student as semblies.

Museum Grounds To Be Embellished By 1930 Class Gift Rare Variety of Shrubs To Perpetuate Memory Of Donators Due to the generosity of the class of 1930 a shrubbery planting pro gram for the terraces and lawn of the Prince L. Campbell Memorial Art museum got under way yester day when the first carload of a 575 unit order was unloaded at the Uni versity depot for planting, reports George York, superintendent of buildings and grounds, who went to Portland last week to make the final selection of the shrubs. This very select group of shrubs, many of which are entirely new to the campus, includes 20 rhododen drons of a rare white variety. The entire planting will be a standing memorial to the class of '30. Years ago the classes would graduate from school and go away and forget the reserve funds left in the class treasury but of late the classes have met before graduation and designed what their reserve money should be used for. Last ' year, the class of ’31 used their surplus to buy the present band uniforms, stated Mr. York. The contract for the entire order was awarded to Woodruff’s nur sery of Eugene, and Doty & Doer ner, Pilkington, Russelville, and Mountain View nurseries, all of Portland. The work of unloading and plant ing the shrubs as they are received is being done by the campus grounds crew with the aid of stu dents. In addition to this about 450 shrubs from the campus stock will be used in the program. Episcopalian Official Will Be Guest on Campus Today Leila Anderson, who travels for the Episcopal student work on the Pacific coast, will be a guest of members of the Y. W. C. A. and the Episcopal students tomorrow. No plans have been made for her entertainment, Miss Margaret Edmunson, secretary of the cam pus Y. W. C. A., said, but it is expected that student groups will meet with her in the afternoon and take her to dinner tomorrow eve ning. 600 Course Fees Yet Unpaid; Noon Today Set as Limit A PPROXIMATELY GOO stu dents have not paid their course fees. Of this number the large majority will stand in line this morning to do so before the penalty goes into effect when the cashier's office doses it noon today. It is expected that a few stu dents will be forced to pay the penalty because of inability to meet their fees today. The number will probably be larger than in the past, according to E. P. Lyon, University cashier. The penalty is $2 for the first day of delinquency and 25 cents for each additional day. Suspen sion for failure to pay fees goes | into.effect February 8.

PLEDGING ANNOUNCEMENT Master Dance group announces the pledging of Lucy Ann Wendell of Eugene, Faye Fischel Knox of Eugene, and Gertrude Winslow ot Salem. Sugar and Spice V All That’s Vice Choruses Charley Shades of Boston! Turn me inside out. I’m dou bled up with laughter. Amid the rumble of shells bursting in Shanghai comes a dud from good old Los Angeles that sends a chuckle up the Imperial valley. To the hoosegow for fifty days and nights goes Capt. D. MacD. Jones, militant head of the police vice squad of that fair city. With characteristic police intelligence he thumbed his nose at a court injunction and raided “Lysistrata,” the fa mous Greek play. Hailed before the judge for contempt of court, he refused to pay a $100 fine, and elected to serve it out at $2 a day. Captain Jones knows his value to the city. Hollywood! Oh, haven of purity and cleanliness, we make ablutions at thy shrine. You [ raid "Lysistrata” and place your seal of approval on the bedroom scene of "Hell’s An gels.” (Sorry, boys, the local theatre manager tells me the censors deleted it in Oregon.) And I wonder if Captain D. 1 MacD. Jones of the vice squad ! ever asked a movie director how stars become stars?

Un der the revised plans the most formal of formal dances will be given at Gerling er ha'l instead of at McArthur court as was first announced. nia»w: w& msgmm The shift in lo Bill Earendrick cations came about after exhaustive tests of the Gerlinger floor proved that it can be put in the best of condition for the dance. The change will enable the committee to take advantage of the more formal atmosphere of Gerlinger hall, which will permit the use of Alumni hall for the re ception and of the sun porch for a suitable place to serve refresh ments. Gerlinger More Suitable “Gerlinger hall is a much more suitable setting for the Senior ball than is McArthur court,” Allen de clared in announcing the change. “Our only worry was about the floor, but after tests showed that it can be put in perfect condition, we decided to shift the scene of the dance.” The motif for decorations for the event has been planned and will be announced early next week. The (Continued on rage Four) Initial Symphony Concert Slated for Sunday Afternoon Solos by Gifted Musicians To Feature Program At Auditorium The University Symphony or chestra, under the direction of Rex Underwood, will present to morrow at 3 p. m. at the Music auditorium its first winter term concert. The feature of the program is the appearance of two talented student soloists, Howard Halbert ana Frances Brockman, who ren der concert selections on the violin. The closing number on the pro gram, "The Procession of the Sar dar,” is the last of a group of "Caucasion Sketches” by Ivanow Ippolitow. The selection depicts a procession of military officers who, in the days of the czar disclosed their high rank by bathering about themselves a group of brilliantly dressed followers from the Orient. Michael Ivanow-Ippolitow was born at Gatchina, Russia, in 1859. At the time of the World war he was living in the Caucasas moun tains at Tiflis. He was head of the music school and conductor of the opera there. He now teaches at the Government Conservatory at Moscow. The program follows: Finlandia . Sibelius Concerto in E-Flat, for violin and orchestra . Mozart Frances Brockman, Violinist Symphonie Espagnole, for violin and orchestra .Edouard Lalo Howard Halbert, Violinist The Procession of the Sardar. .Ivanow-Ippilitow Admission for students, 15c; for others, 25c. Customs ami Conventions To Be Discussed Sunday "What Shall We Do About Cus toms and Conventions That Irri tate Us?” will be discussed by the Westminster forum Sunday eve ning at 6:30 at Westminster house. Allen Proctor will introduce the subject and direct the discussion. Valberg L. Anderson will lead the worship service. Preceding the discussion there will be a social half hour with re freshments. Interested students are invited. Let’s Stop Booing! -Editorial Order of tlu> “O,” whose actions the Emerald has not always viewed with the greatest favor, has struck upon a field of service upon which we can at last place our seal of approval. The lettennen, sit tin" in a body at to niglwt’s Orepon-Orepon State basketball panic, will act as a vigilance committee of 50 to stop booinp. Year by year Orepon lias been poinp down in the esti mation of other schools in the conference because her stu dents seemingly can find nothing more enjoyable to do at basketball panics than boo. Opposing players, officials, and even their own men come in for comment from the “Bronx cheering” sections. Yet Oregon's “boo boys” have gone on unchecked. The Order of the “0” says it will first he sure to pre vent all booinp by its own members. Just as charity should begin at home, as Ihe old saying goes, so should reform. But the wearers of the block “O’s” have not been the only booers at the Igloo games. Far from it. In the last game with Washington decisions several times met with one gen eral chorus of disapproval from the whole stands. What Oregon’s basketball team needs is support, not students’ ignorant and noisy comments on the decisions of referees. On the floor the game depends on good sports manship and the same is needed in the stands. NO MORE BOOING! Timelessness of Greek Play Noted; Seybolt Commended Acting of Inez Simons Held To Be Consistently Praisetvorthy By S. STEPHENSON SMITH Euripides’ play, “The Trojan Women,” was the playscript that Mrs. Seybolt chose for the Guild Hall players, as the first vehicle in which she herself was to appear as actor-manager. As director, she established the rhythm and the phrasing for the whole cast; and as actress playing Hecuba, she had the difficult task of carrying out that rhythm, with the chorus and the other actresses depending on her as the link between the scenes. She represented the figure of a Great Queen, suddenly broken and old, sleeping in the dust out side the Greek camp. She needed her staff to help her bear up the weight of her grief—and of the play. Her gestures were good, as were those of all the cast, espe cially Inez Simons, as Andro mache. The free use of hieratic gesture, in fact, helped to compen sate for the lack of music, on which Euripides depended to or chestrate the deep and sustained grief. Poseidon (played by Jack Stipe) was a true God-like figure; his voice, as he read Gilbert Murray’s lines, full, round and sustained; while Elizabeth Scruggs gave a sound reading of Athene’s scolding humor at the profanations wrought by her proteges, the Greeks. The sibylline Cassandra was played by Hose Simons. She rendered the mad priestess of Apollo in a strange, stark style that gave the only note of terror in the play. The herald (Charles Shoemaker) showed manly grief at the terrible order he was forced to carry out — to dash Asyanax to his death. Inez Simons, as Andromache, com manded the most poignant note of grief; her voice conveyed a sorrow so deep that it had gone far be yond tears, beyond any tremulous ness, into a desolate region beyond all hope. Yet she was truly tragic: for her quiet exit to the Greek ships carried with it an affirma tion of the dignity and greatness U.O. Library Has Young Fortune in Literary Matter A PPROXIMAT ELY $425,000 worth of books, bindings and the many different periodi cals have been purchased for the library’s shelves since 1900, M. II. Douglass, University li brarian, stated yesterday. “I should estimate that this amount, together with the value of the books that were in the library at that time, would raise the total to about a half million dollars’ worth of reading mate rial that has been placed in the library,” he said. Some of the books have been discarded, he continued, but this deficiency is more than made; up by the files of scientific [ journals and out-of-print books. of a woman's nature, even in utter defeat and slavery. Her soul was not conquered, any more than was Cassandra's. The episode of Menelaus and Helen was adequately done by Walden Boyle and Zora Beaman; but since the ancient critics asked Euripides in acid tones what he meant by putting that piece of domestic melodrama in the midst of the most profoundly pathetic of his tragedies, I will not enlarge on this. This scene was not made any better by Murray’s soft-ped aling; generally his rather Swin burnian verse is excellent for the rhythmical chanting. It was such a joy again to hear poetry on the stage, that I am not inclined to cavil at small difficulties. Though I should think Murray scans (Continued on rage Four) Edmunson Will Speak Before Worship Group Miss Margaret Edmunson, Y W. C. A. secretary, will talk on how to prepare a worship program, in cluding content, material, form, music, place of leader, and mechan ics, before members of the worship group of the Y. W. C. A. Monday night at 9:30 in Miss Olson’s room at Hendricks hall. The first part of the meeting, Miss Edmunson said, will be more or less about the technique of wor ; ship, while the last few minutes will be spent in worship. Everyone who has attended meetings of the worship group is invited, especially those who han dle the mechanics, decorations,, and music at the 5 o’clock vespers. Girls who will lead vespers for the rest of this term are also especial ly requested to attend. Oregon Faces StiffGameWith Beavers Here Orangemen Go on Floor Favored Heavily Revamped Webfoot Squad Will Be Aggressive, Says Reinhart DATA ON TONIGHT’S GAME Teams — Oregon anil Oregon State. Place—McArthur court. Time—7:80 p. m. Coaches—Bill Reinhart anil Am ory Gill. Captains—Ken Fagans, O. S. C., anil Windy Calkins, Oregon. Referee—Bohby Morris, Seattle. By BRUCE HAMBY Oregon's basketball fortunes will be subjected to the acid test to night when the Webfoots clash with Oregon State tonight at Mc Arthur court in the first of the an nual four-game series. The Beavers are heavy favorites due to their impressive season rec ord. So far Coach "Slats” Gill’s team has won four out of six games. Oregon has taken only three out of eight. A win for the Beavers would keep them at the top of the standings, while victory for Oregon would still give the Webfoots an outside chance for the division tilts. Two New Players Coach Bill Reinhart plans to start two new players tonight in effort to place a more aggressive quintet on the floor. Oregon’s two defeats at the hands of Washing ton were due to lack of fight, the Oregon mentor believes. Johnny Jeffers and Jim Watts are the two sophomores who will start at the forward positions. Cap Roberts will start at center, and Captain Winsor Calkins and Hank Levoff at guards. This trio has done the majority of the scor ing in previous games, and now lead the division in individual scor ing. ,4 , Oregon State will be led by Ken Fagans, brilliant forward, and Ed Lewis, six-foot five-inch center.

Miller, University health service director, when he speaks to members of Al pha Tau Delta, national nursing honorary, next Tuesday evening. Preceding the talk the group will hold a- short business meeting to discuss initiation requirements. The meeting is scheduled for 8 o’clock at the women’s lounge of Gerlinger. Members are requested to pay their dues at this time, Helen Roth enberger, president, announces. After Dr. Miller’s speech a social hour is planned. Student, Professor Discuss Japanese Invasion of City In her occupation of Shanghai, a city which heretofore has always been treated as semi-neutral in any controversy between China and any power, Japan has quite clearly violated her pledges under the nine-power pact for the Pacific, and in consequence, the United States, which is also a signatory, is definitely concerned, Dr .Harold J. Noble of the history department said yesterday when asked to com ment on the Japanese capture of the Chinese city of Shanghai. “The military clique which has been responsible for the Japanese invasion of Manchuria," Professor Noble said, “has discovered to its dismay that while the Chinese are not in a position to meet thorn with military action, they have a most potent weapon in the economic j boycott.” Dr. Noble pointed out that the Chinese have exerted a boycott against Japan to such a degree as never before has been reached. In asmuch as trade with China is vi tal to Japan's economic life, the Japanese government, under pres sure of popular demand, is forced to take some definite actions to improve trade relations, he said. “The logical action,” Professor (Continues on Page Three) By MAXIMO PULIDO The present naval and military display of Japan at Shanghai and the capture of the Chinese section of that* city by the Japanese the other night is not merely for the purpose of disbanding anti-Japan ese organizations there as the Jap anese explain their action, but to fight the economic boycott now carried on against Japan, and to threaten the Nanking government to come to terms which will doubt less be dictated by the Japanese themselves, Wu Tang, a third-year law student from Hankow, China, said in an interview yesterday. “Such a display,” Tang said, "won't enable the Japanese to ac complish their purposes because even if they use their military strength, and win battles after an other, China will put up the most desperate struggle.” China didn't resist the occupa tion of Manchuria by the Japanese, the Chinesettftudent explained, be cause there was no military leader powerful enough to direct China’s army against Japan. As Chinchow was about to fall to the hands of the Japanese, Chang-Kai-Shek re signed as president according to wishes of the different political (Continued on rage Three)
