___NUMBER 77 Noted Chinese Orator Slated To Speak Here T. Z. Koo To Address Assembly March 10 ‘The New Renaissance in ^ China’ To Be Described In Open Lecture Dr. T. Z. Koo, internationally known orator and writer, and as sociate general secretary of the World's Christian federation, has been scheduled to speak on “The New Renaissance in China" at an all-University assembly on the morning of March 10. Dr. Koo is a graduate of St. John’s university, Shanghai, and a recognized scholar of unusual at tainment. His early work was with the Chinese government rail way. In recent years he returned to formal Christian service. Called “Eloquent” Cambridge and Oxford scholars have characterized him as the most eloquent speaker since Henry Drummond. At the first Institute of Pacific Relations held at Hono lulu he was characterized as “in contestably the clearest headed man in the Chinese group.” Not only has Dr. Koo been a close follower of political life in ^ China, but he has exerted a great influence on the student mind of China. He believes in friendliness among the nations of the world; and that the West should permit China to work out her problems1 without interference and humilia tion.

Bryson, Artau To Appear Thursday In Phi Beta Recital By DAVE WILSON In announcements of most cam pus concerts, the name of the ar tist’s accompanist is run in the last paragraph. But when Bari tone Roy Bryson announces that Louis Artau will be at the piano for his Thursday evening recital, it is first-paragraph news. Artau has built up an excellent reputation during the seven or eight years he has been with the piano department of the Univer sity music school, but his public appearances are so few and far between as to be almost epochal. He has not accompanied a con cert soloist since the farewell con cert of John Siefert, who was head cf the voice department un til 1929. Born in Georgia, Artau spent the early part of his life in the southeastern states. He attended Johns Hopkins university, and studied piano at the Peabody conservatory in Baltimore and at the Los Angeles conservatory, where he was a pupil of Leopold Godowsky, who is held to be one of the greatest masters of piano technique. Bryson plans a program of songs that will be richly diverse, both in types and in the nationali ties and periods of the composers. His appearance is sponsored by Phi Beta, women’s music and drama fraternity, and the entire proceeds of the concert will go to the music scholarship fund distri buted each year by the organiza tion. Tickets at 25 cents for students and 50 cents for townspeople are now on sale at the Co-op or may be obtained from any Phi Eeta.

Campus Leaders Endorse Proposed Assembly Plan T-’-“ The proposed bi-monthly stu dent body assemblies, are meeting with decided approval among cam pus leaders, who feel that there is vital need for something of the kind to united the students and to serve as a medium for working out problems of major interest. Brian Mimnaugh was especially enthusiastic over the project, which was indorsed by N. S. F. A., and declared that if it were passed by the executive council tonight that it would be the best step taken by the student government in three years. “The assemblies, in addi tion to having entertainment pro vided by the music or drama de partment, would take the form of open discussion. All problems of a universal nature, as the abolition of Libe step hacking, the decision concerning the use of the term "Webfeet,'’ student politics, and ► other problems would be discussed, and student opinion would be gath ered in an open forum." Mimnaugh did not consider the holding of assemblies twice a month as too frequent. He stated that during the first month there was such a wealth of material to be used that weekly assemblies might even be considered. Ann Baum, president of the A. W. S., expressed herself along the same lines as did Mimnaugh, hear tily in favor of the meetings. “There are enough problems on the campus to necessitate some action of the kind, and I sincerely hope that students will cooperate with N. S. F. A. in putting over the as semblies for they are and can be made very worth-while.” The leaders of the under-classes, who are usually considered the vic tims of assemblies, were surpris ingly enthusiastic at the idea of holding them. “They will be a big help in understanding student problems,” stated A1 McKelligon, sophomore president, “however, I think that if they wore held twice a month they would become bor ing. Once a month meetings would cover the needs of the campus in my opinion.” “I am certainly all for them,” declared Howard Steib, freshman president. “We held an impromptu assembly with freshman represen tatives from all living organiza (Continued on Page Four) Final Program ! Announced For Colonial Rout I • ‘ _ i Student - Faculty Dance Set for Friday | Grand March Will Be Led I By Faville; McClain To Play Washington The complete program for the Colonial Rout, faculty - student Colinial and frontier ball, which Dean Faville taker place Fri day evening in Gerlinger hall, was announced last night by Dean David E. Faville, who will act as grand marshall of the event. Opening the program will be the “Washing I ton March,” written by the first president’s friend, the first Amer ican composer, the Hon. Francis Hopkinson, signer of the declara tion of Independence. This num ber will be played by the Univer sity band, directed by John Stehn. Band to Play The band will lead the grand march, which will pass in front of General Washington's reviewing stand. The part of the first pres ident will be taken by Marion F. McClain, manager of the Co-op store. The grand march will be followed by the singing of “Yan kee Doodle.” Strolling singers, directed by Marian Camp, will render ballads as they were sung in Virginia in (Continued on Page Four) War Prevention Talk by Geologist To Be Given at 8 Students Invited to Meeting Tonight by International Relations Club The International Relations club will hear Professor Warren D. Smith, of the geology department, speak on “A Geologist’s Views on the Prevention of War" tonight at 8 o'clock at the International house. The meeting is open to all stu dents or faculty members inter ested, according to Professor Vic tor P. Morris, who is faculty spon sor of the group. “For a long time," Dr. Smith said yesterday, “geologists and mining engineers have been consid ering the underlying basic factors that seem to be the causes of war, such as conflicts for raw mate rials, like coal, iron, oil, copper, and any number of others, chiefly minerals. “We have certain tentatives plans,” he continued, “which we believe if worked out would be more effective than will conven tions for disarmament. Some of us believe that the world is going at it backwards at present. You must remove friction between nations before you can ask them to lay down their arms. Whether it can be done is another matter, because you’re dealing with human nature, which is an uncertain thing and dif ficult to control. He stressed the necessity for careful scientific planning, and said that in his talk tonight he will present a tentative scheme looking forward to a solution for the prob lem of international cooperation and world peace. "It will be a different line of at tack from that usually presented today,” he added. “It may not be practical, but we don’t know until we try it.” Onthank Leads Discussion At Dormitory Gathering “Morality, Social Customs and Science," was the topic of Dean Onthank’s informal talk at Omega hall last night. Mr. Onthank, who was also a supper guest, expressed his opin ions cn the present status of so- j ciety. He declared that the par ents of tomorrow have a harder task facing them than those of to- i day. A round table discussion fol- j lowed the talk. * Barnett Asks Rectification Of Economic Organization I Lecture Fifth Among Talks Backed by Intellectual Activities Group In order to help remedy the present economic disorganization the anarchic condition of industry must first be rectified, Dr. James D. Barnett, chairman of the de partment of political science of the University, declared in a lec ture at Deady hall last night on the topic, "The Co - operative Commonwealth." "The basic condition,” Dr. Bar nett said, “if left alone to drift along, will cure its own ills. By so doing, the present anarchic condi tion of industry will eventually be rectified because individualism as it exists now, will be replaced by collectivism.” Professor Barnett, to some ex tent, blames the anti-trust laws for the depression. These laws, he F---I states, have fostered competition so freely that they have done more harm than pood to industry. He recommends modernization of these laws to suit present-day conditions, and went on to say that voluntary cooperative action is necessary to cure the ills of existing economic systems. “A big business concern,” Dr. Barneet continued, "will become benevolent as it continues to exist, because it will realize that its action will be subject to con trol by the people through public opinion.” Professor Barnett concluded by stating that international coopera tion is necessary to help cure the ills of present industrial condi tions, but before such an action could be attained, national reor ganization must come first in order to make possible the division of economic field and thereby make evolution rapid. Three Features Mark Program By Faculty Club Warren D. Smith To Show Pictures of Trip ami Give Talk A three-feature program, one that will appeal to a wide diver sity of tastes and yet be of inter est to all, is scheduled for the next faculty club cinema to be pre sented at the Colonial theater on Thursday afternoon. The feature motion picture is entitled “Lost Gods” and is a gra phic record of unusual and ex tremely interesting discoveries in ancient Carthage, Utica and Libya. The film, although it is based on excavation of these ancient areas, is made absorbingly interesting by the way in which it handles this j subject, and by injecting many personal touches into it. Dialogues and description is supplied by Count de Frorak of the Algiers Museum of Natural History. The film from start to end would hold the attention of any one, whether interested in an-1 tiquity or not, and it is extremely well made and edited. With this feature Dr. Warren D. Smith, head of the department of geology, will show motion pictures he made on his recent trip to South America, and will tell of some of the interesting things he observed while there. He is a keen observer of people as well as things in foreign countries and his talk and pictures are being eager ly anticipated by many who have been interested in his travels. The third event on the program is a reel entitled “Pompeii,” which in a few minutes gives a graphic description of this ancient city. At the present time it is one of the most popular short subjects on the (Continued on Page Two) Last Shall Be First Must Stay in Bible, Prophesies Charley Quack, Quack! Or squawk! squawk! Just a matter of viewpoint. Another would-be twentieth amendment stalked through | Congress today, and emerged with a triumphant house vote of 335 to 5G. You can’t blame { the 56 for squawking; even a congressman hates to cut hi3 ! own throat. Tho he's not so particular about his neighbor. Technically it’s known as the Rutherford constitutional amendment, but confidentially, it's just the lame duck bill. It means that when a fellow loses ! his election, he ain’t elected. For 143 years we’ve been j laughed at for letting defeated representatives abuse the Con gressional Record, frank their mail, and answer the roll call in the House. Gettin’ so a fel low can’t even be a licked con gressman respect ably any more. What will these reformers think of next? Resentfully, WEBFOOT CHARLEY. ; Hare Announces February 24 as Junior Shine Day Plans for War on Needy Shoes To Be Given Later in Week John Hare, chairman of Junior Shine clay, announced yesterday that Wednesday, February 24, has been set as the date for the annual junior shine frolic. "This date is definite unless weather conditions interfere,” Hare stated. Plans for this year’s “war on needy shoes” are rapidly being completed and will be announced in detail later this week. Marguer ite Tarbell, chairman of the ticket sales, is working on several unique ideas to help the sale of tickets; while the other members of the di rectorate are working out some promotional stunts. Four prizes will be awarded to holders of lucky tickets, two to men and two to women. Several local firms have donated prizes for the Shine day drawing and include the Colonial theatre, Den.imore and Leonard, and Phelps-Tet.cel. “Receipts from Junior Shine day will go to some charitable cause,” stated Bob Hall, junior class presi dent, last evening. "But," he de clared, “at the present time we are not sure to just what use we will make of the money.” Several worthwhile suggestions are being considered, and it is expected that some definite use will be an nounced soon. Prominent junior women to help in the sale of tickets will be select ed in the near future; While as signments of the junior men to their places on Shine day will also be made at an early date. “Shine benches will be placed at four stations on the campus," de clared Jimmy Dinsmore, who has charge of the properties and equip ment. Benches will be located in front of the Administration build ing, at the old library, between Oregon building and Commerce, and in front of Condon.

I_ ' Quaint Costumes ForColonial Rout Feature Formals j to wear at the Colon ial Rout Friday night? Does that question puzzle ' you? Then don't miss the daily suggestions for appropriate cos tumes in the Emerald. Today Miss Marjorie For ehemer, assistant professor in physical education, has a few ideas of her own about what the “belle of ’76" should wear. A simple but attractive cos tume may be easily made by wiring a formal and adding a lacy bertha collar. Powdered curls entwined with ribbons or flowers coyly nestled behind one ear give the finishing quaint touches. For men she suggests the frontiersman. Any rough-look ing apparel will do for this character. U.ofO. Professor Receives Grant of V, S, Citizenship Dr. Louis A. Wood, professor of economics in the University, be came a citizen of the United States yesterday by virtue of a decision handed down by Judge G. F. Skip worth of the circuit court, on the former's final citizenship papers. Professor Wood, until yesterday, was a Canadian citizen. He was born in Canada of Canadian par ents, was raised there, and was a member of the faculty of the Uni versity of Western Ontario before he came to the United States to teach labor economics at the Uni versity of Oregon in 1924. Except when he went to Yale university as a sterling fellow in 1928 ^and stayed there until 1929, he has been on the campus continuously for the last seven years. Dr. Wood took his B. A. degree from the University of Toronto in 1905, his B. D. from Montreal Presbyterian college in 1908, and his Ph. D. from Heidelberg in 1911. He taught in Robertson college, Al berta, from 1912-13 and trans ferred to the University of West ern Ontario in 1914 and stayed (Continuei on Page Three) Industrial Group To Moet At Y Bungalow Tonight Industrial group of the Y. W. C. A. will meet tonight at 9 o’clock at the bungalow, according to Gwen Elsemore, chairman. Elizabeth Scruggs, chairman of industry for the Seabeck division for the states of Idaho, Montana, Washington, and Oregon, will speak on the values of an in dustrial group. An invitation is extended to all those interested in city life and industrial conditions in general to attend this meeting as it is the aim of this group to be a labora tory for the application of both economics and sociology. Council Action i On Assemblies Is BilledToday i. - NSFA Recommendation To Re Considered Increased Salaries for Two Emerald Members May Be Voted Student body assemblies, as en | dorsed Monday by the N. S. F. A., | and the question of increasing the salaries of two members of the Emerald staff at the completion of the year, will be discussed and vot ed on at the executive council meeting of the A. S. U. O. this af ternoon. The assemblies, which have been enthusiastically endorsed by out standing members of the student body would, if adopted, be a new feature on the campus. They would present programs originating in the various departments, as music, drama, etc., of the University. In addition to these programs, dis cussion in the nature of an open forum would be held. Through the medium of these meetings the sentiment of the en tire student body can be presented, in the opinion of Brian Mimnaugh, student body president. He de clared that at present the only voice and popular spokesman is the Emerald, and that even the daily paper might upon occasion differ from the views held by the majority of the campus. The increase in salary, which was passed by the finance com mittee, authorizes the addition of $50 each, to the salaries of the present managing editor and ad vertising manager of the Emerald at the completion of this school year. This addition will be made provided the Emerald has shown a profit during the current year. ‘ The measure as proposed is a tem porary one, and provides for this year only. Fellowship Relations Tu Be Basis of Discussion at Y Binford To Explain International Program at Meeting International world fellowship relations will be the basis of dis scussion at the Y. W. C. A. cabi net meeting tonight at 7:30 at the bungalow. Helen Binford, who attended the International Student Service con ference at Mount Holyoke last fall, will explain the program carried out internationally. Margaret Edmunson, Y. W. C. A. secretary, attended a national meeting of the World Student Christian association at Williams college, Williamstown, Massachu setts, last year and she will speak tonight on its problems; the main question „ being the reaction of Christian Students to Communism and Nationalism, and the Author ity for Their Message to the World. Atwood,Groves Featured in Organ and Vocal Program The weekly student recital at the Music auditorium last night presented the second organ student to appear on a student recital this quarter, Margaret Atwood. Floyd Groves, tenor, was the other solo ist on the program. Groves, in his first group, Men delssohn’s “If With All Your Hearts,’ 'from Elijah, and the Recit and Aria, “Let Me Weep, Lord,’’ from Handel's "Itenaldo," showed a voice which has been carefully trained and is accurate in tone, though it was a bit difficult to catch the words because of its throaty quality. Groves' expres sion was more noticeable than that of some of the student singers who have been presented. Miss Atwood played for her first group the “Suite Gothique, op. 25” by Boellman. This number is di vided into four movements. The first, "Choral,” was majestic and stately, and steadily moving. The second, the "Gothique Minuet,” was a sprightly little number, characteristic of classic minuets. “The Prayer to Our Lady” was a quiet and solemn little melody; a hymn, which is really a musical prayer). The "Toccata,” the fourth movement started with moving minor passages, and grad ually worked up to a climax, uioves began his last group of songs with "Silent, O Moyle, Be the Roar of Thy Water,” and con tinued with "Harp That Once Thru Tara’s Halls,” and "Believe Me if All Those Endearing Young Charms,” all three by Moore, and closed with “If I Were King of Ireland.” The audience was so well pleased with Groves’ performance, particularly the third number of the last group, that they called him back after his concluding number for a second bow, a thing unusual for student recitals. [ The “Concert Overture in B minor” by Rogers, played by Miss | Atwood, concluded the recital. It opened with dynamic minor chords, swung into a comparatively quiet major melody, and alternated back and forth in this manner a number of times until a great climax was reached in the minor concluding I phrases, leaving the audience on the edge of their seats. Groves was accompanied by Fve j da Stadter.
