The first official voicing of the marked feeling against the entrance of party machines into University political affairs has thus been made. By their declaration Oregon women are not condemning campus politics or officers who have been elected. They are merely insisting upon freedom to vote for whom they wish in . campus elections. The evils of the “straight ticket” and party affiliation are the greatest blight upon student government. It is strangely para doxical that in an institution of higher learning, a leading pur pose of which is to guide people to independent thinking, great masses of students should be forced, by taboos and custom, to vote for the ticket which the individual living groups decide to support. When such a performance as the annual election of A. S. U. O. officers is pulled off, it’s little wonder professors do not despair more than they do about the possibilities of teach ing anyone anything. a Every intelligent college student wants to decide things lor himself. He resents dogmatism thrust down his throat by pro fessors. He resents having upperclassmen tell him what’s good for him. For a similar reason Oregon women have reserved for themselves, individually, to determine who will be their repre sentatives in future student governments. The Machine Hides Its Head T^LAMING the machine as the cause of unemployment and de pression, letters full of gloomy and uncharitable predictions are flooding the press of the country. The picture they paint is of an eventual civilization in which the machine does all the work and unemployment is absolute. Serious proposals have been made in the state legislature that Oregon’s highway construction work be carried on by hand labor rather than machinery. The steam shovel, it is pointed out, takes the place of 50 men, and to relieve the situation they propose that the work be carried on by pick and shovel. Dr. James H. Gilbert, dean of the college of literature, science, and the arts, and head of the department of economics here, suggests that if the only desire is to provide work, the excava tion could be carried on with spoons instead of shovels, and by this method even more men could be employed. The American abroad who now boasts of the efficiency and speed of American construction may soon brag of the reverse. "We have a building in our town, Mister, that they’ve been working on for 75 years and haven't finished the cellar yet.’’ Concord, New Hampshire, observed the opening of the Geneva disarmament conference with church carillons playing "Colum bia, the Gem of the Ocean,” the closing lines of which say, "The Army and Navy Forever.” "Germany made her fatal mistake in the World war," said Harvey S. Firestone, Jr., in a radio talk the other evening, “in failing to gain control over a sufficient supply of rubber.” That's stretching the point a bit, Mr. Firestone. OREGON SAFETY VALVE - An Outlet for Campus Steam _ HIDE POLITIC S Ol'T! To the Editor: The girls' organizations on the campus have started something, let us not merely pat them on the shoulder, smile, and then let it die. I’m speaking about abolishing po litical parties. Briefly the facts from the inde pendent standpoint: In the past there has always been two parties formed, prior to elections, is an endeavor to get their men in offices. The schem ing, bartering and exchanging have •been, carefully and quietly, in a most admirable underhanded tash ron, going on the whole school year this includes all interested in politics and excludes no one. Both parties have made an appeal for split independent vote. Lust year the independents, because they thought they weren't getting a fair representation twhether they were or not is not the question), organized into one group repre senting the largest block on the campus, and the balance of power. Today the independents are organ ized for the coining elections not to run a straight ticket because that means split factioifk on the campus, and we don't want that. We are organized to get a square deal and houeot representation lor t 1200 independent students in Uni 1 versity activities. They say we haven’t the mate rial but I ask, have we had a chance until this year, with rare exceptions, to develop material ? Why can’t parties be abolished, the best man selected for the job and snap out of the smug, complacent little game we all have been play ing for years? It has been said that Oregon’s political organization is the envy of other campuses, also that if we don't have party organization, in ! terest for the campus elections and | jobs will die out. If these are the ; Oregon standards upon which we pride ourselves and seek recogni tion, or if such interests as these are necessary for university life— well, let's keep campus politics. If these things are not what count, abolish politics, for who then gives a damn! One thing more the independents want is representation on some kind of president's organization in which all campus groups are rep resented and where all campus problems are discussed. The girls have opened the dis cussion, we have expressed our selves, Interfraternity council, what are you going to do about it ? AN INDEPENDENT STUDENT OREGON ♦ ♦ ♦ GRIPE HODDOGG!!!

Students To Hear Russian Quartet Free of Charge Singers Accorded Praise By Many Critics; Draw Crowds One of the rarest possible music treats is in store for Oregon stu dents when the famous Kedroff quartet of Russian singers appears in McArthur court next Sunday af ternoon. The event is sponsored by the Associated Students on the concert series and Oregon students will be admitted without charge upon the presentation of their stu dent body tickets. Picked by many leading music critics as the outstanding organi zation of its kind, the quartet has been appearing before packed houses on its present tour, termed as the farewell tour. In four sea sons before the American public, filling over 200 concert engage ments, the organization has won a triumph which rivals their con quest of the music world of Europe where they appeared for many years. The Kedroff quartet, has ap peared before many royal courts of Europe and the members have been frequently decorated for their work. The decorations which the artists now wear on the concert platform are those presented to them by the French academy in May, 1927, when the Kedroffs cele brated the 30th anniversary of its original foundation. This ensemble constitutes one of the greatest repeating attractions of the concert world, in many cit ies having sung season after sea son, to capacity crowds, always varying the program, from a reper toire of over 300 numbers. Herman Devries, writing in the Chcago American, summarized his praise in the following terms: “The only change in their work is that each year they are better than the last, though when one hears them, one wonders how can the coming season improve on the current of fering? We repeat that they are perfect musicians that form an in comparably artistic unity, masters of the difficulties of vocal technic, innately skilled in the creation of contrast, in mood and color, im peccable in pitch, in a word—mas ters!” First Studio Play To Be Presented Friday Afternoon Members of Dramu Class Direct Production Of Sketches i _ First of the Studio plays will be presented to the students on the campus Friday afternoon at 4 o’clock, it was announced yester day.

Such questions as “What is per sonality; can it be cultivated; is the old phrase, ’personality is power.' founded upon some deep principals,” and other problems will be answered at this meeting.’ Max Adams, University pastor, who will lead the discussions stated yesterday. BOOKS OF THE DAY EDITED BY ROY SHEEDY WEALTHY DETECTIVE “Strong Poison,” by Dorothy L. Sayers. Brewer, Warren, and Put nam. By J. A. NEWTON Here is a detective novel which is much better than the ordinary run of detective story. The dia logue is snappy and moving, the characters are vivid and active, and the plot reveals an author who finds no detail too small to be con sidered. Dorothy L. Sayers dem onstrates something beyond the simple unfolding of a plot or the detection of a crime. She produces a novel which is delightfully enter taining by means of its humor and its steadily advancing plot. Lord Peter Wimsey, a young English nobleman, is the wealthy | gentleman of leisure who uses his spare moments in the detection of j crime. Murder is preferred, of ! course. He is as whimsical as his i name, and amusingly trifling at the most serious moments, t The tale opens with a courtroom scene. Miss Harriet Vane, a suc cessful mystery novelist, is being tried for poisoning a man in the same manner as that of which she is writing a book, by arsenic. The jury does not agree, and the trial is set for some future date. Lord Peter has a spinster-like Miss Climpson on the jury, and she re ligiously feels that Harriet aVne is not guilty. Lord ePter then sets out to solve the mystery, as he is emotionally interested in the de fendent. Miss Climpson turns out to be the head of a female detective agency which Lord Peter main tains from his own private fortune. He calls it the "cattery.” As the story unfolds, Miss Climpson is re vealed as a clever woman, entirely different from the spinster-like person she appears to be. It is due to her work that many revelations are brought forth, although, of course, she works at the sugges tion of Lord Peter who is the in stigator of all steps in the success ful investigation. Read this book if you can. It con tains no conversational explana tions. Rather, the crime is revealed by the ingenious connection of var ious evidences which turn up from time to time. It progresses right up to the last word. Profs To Record Table of Working Hours Each Day ‘How Universitylnstructors Spend Their Time’ Is Object of Survey In conjunction with its study of faculty service the Institutional Research committee is conducting a survey among the faculty mem bers to determine the exact duties of the professors and a record of their working time. This report is intended to give the exact picture of faculty re sponsibilities, and show the exact truth in the prevalent idea that college teachers, in general, work about 14 hours per week. The study is an attempt to replace the unrepresentative generalizations with the actual truth. The report consists of time classifications in which professors are to list their time spent among the following: that spent in meet ing regular classes and all involv ing preparations for the classes; in supervision of laboratory work and all preparations; in adminis trative or clerical work, which would include the general office duties, committee membership duties and other functions con cerning the University; time spent in conference with students; in research, in any reading, writing, or other activity of a purely pro fessional nature, which is not con nected with the teaching of regu lar subjects; time spent in work that might be termed public ser vice; in regular extension work, and all other time utilized for some specific reason not mentioned before. Members of the committee which is conducting this report is Dean Henry D. Sheldon, chairman, i Dean James H. Gilbert, Paul ; Ager, Dr. Howard Taylor, Dr. Carl L. Huffaker, and Earl Pallett. .Magazine Accepts Article By Graduate Assistant An article by Robert Oliver, graduate assistant in the speech department, dealing with the topic, “Conversation,” has been published in the current issue of the Quarter ly Journal of Speech Education. The article is a statement of training needs in conversation. It points out the fact that it is bet ter to teach students to converse than to make them accomplished public speakers, because of the constant necessity of speaking on a purely conversational basis. It also presents a history of the past few years’ experience of education 1 in that line. Oliver is a graduate of Pacific i university. He is working at the present time for his master's de gree in English. Orthopedics To Be Topic Of Eugene Medic’s Lecture The subject “Orthopedics” will I be taken up by Dr. P. A.
