Life on Today
The life story of Washington,
and its bearings upon the prob

speaker at the student assembly

After studying the life and ca
reer of the first president, whose
200th birthday is being honored
all over the country Monday, Vice

modern analogy that should prove
interesting and valuable to both
young and old, Carlton E. Spen

president, will introduce S. M.
Calkins, city attorney, who is to
introduce the speaker.
At 10:30 the University concert
band, with nearly 75 pieces, will
open the program. John Stehn,
director, has arranged for a half
hour of peppy marches, patriotic
airs, and a medley of tunes popu
lar in Revolutionary times, pos
sibly including “Yankee Doodle"
and others equally well known.
With efforts of the committee,
the University, and city officials
aimed at a large community at
tendance in conjunction with the
student body and faculty, McAr
thur court is being prepared for a
mammoth crowd. Chairs are to
fill the lower floor up to the south
end, where the speakers’ platform
is to be located.
Amplifiers and sound cloth will
be in position to improve the
acoustics. Members of Skull and
Daggers, sophomore men’s hon

Biological Forms
To Be Subject of
Moore’s Lecture
Speech Deals With Animal
Development From
Minute Eijir
Students and townspeople will
have an opportunity to delve into
the intricacies of embryological re
search when Dr. A. R. Moore, pro
fessor of general physiology, talks
on the topic “Form From Chaos
in Biological Systems,” Wednes
day evening in 103 Deady hall.
This is the last of a series of
lectures presented by the commit
tee on free intellectual activities.
Five other topics have been dis
cussed by different members of
the faculty throughout the term.
Dr. Moore’s talk will deal with
the development of the higher
complex animal from the compar
atively simple and unformed ma
terial of the egg.
This development will be illus
trated with examples drawn from
lowly forms, in which the minute
egg is cast into the water and pro
ceeds automatically without the
aid of a mother. Pictures of the
developing egg at different stages
will be shown, and the animals
which will be principally referred
to, are the sea urchin of our rocky
coasts, the common frog and the
water newt.
In his diseussion Dr. Moore will
include a consideration of the liv
ing substance of the egg in build
ing the organism, with special ref
erence to the “organizer,” the bit
of tissue in the early embryo which
has the power of forming head and
cord in any part of the embryo to
which it may be transplanted.
Yale Student Directs Plea
For Disarmament at Geneva
GENEVA, Switzerland, Feb. 10.
—(By Mail)—In speaking before
the disarmament conference here,
where he represented the Intercol
legiate Disarmament council and
the Student Christian Movements
of Great Britain and the United
States, James F. Green, a Yale
senior, said in part:
“After contemplating the events
preceding the catastrophe of 1914.
we remain unconvinced as to the
wisdom of predecessors.
“Fourteen years after the arm
istice the glamor and heroism of
that period fails to impress us,
even when inscribed in gilt on
stone memorials. The sword has
lost its brilliance; the helmets and
shiny buttons are tarnished. In
fact, the whole glorious temple of
Mars has crumbled into ashes. We
respect the war dead, but we ques
tion the judgment of those respon
sible for their death.
“Organized slaughter, we realize,
does not settle a dispute: it merely
silences an argument. We insist
that for violence be substituted
juridicial control by the World
Court and executive action through
the League of Nations. If we are
to evolve an international order
out of anarchy we must renounce
nationalism and drastically curtail
the absolute sovereignity of states.
“Other speakers have much at
stake: we have even more, for we
literally are fighting for our lives.
It is my generation which will be
called upon to surrender all they
consider worth while in life in or
der to become targets for machine
gun bullets and victims of the lat
est poisonous gas.
“It is young men and women of
my age who will be commanded to
commit suicide. It is my genera
tion which will be requested to de
, stroy the best of human culture,
perhaps civilization itself, for caus
! es which future historians will dis
j cover to be erroneous, if not utter
: ly stupid or actually vicious. We
| have thus lost interest in being
prepared for cannon fodder.
“In a sense I am presenting an
ultimatum rather than a petition.
The students whom I represent are
watching critically every action of
this conference. For behind your
deliberations stands staring down
l at us the specter of death.

Fewer Warning Slips Sent
For Mid-Terms This Year
Dean Onthank Explains Purpose
Of Interviews
Fewer mid-term interview
blanks were sent out this term
than either fall or winter terms
of last year, according to figures
compiled in the office of Karl W.
On thank, dean of personnel de
partment.
A total of 209 grade warnings
were issued after mid-term this
quarter in comparison with 258 in
fall term 1931 and 275 in winter
term 1931. This points to a higher
degree of scholastic work being
done by the student, Onthank be
lieves.
In speaking of the purpose of
the interview blanks, he brought
out the fact that it was primarily
to help the students see where
they are failing, and is an effort
to show them available means for
improvement through consulta
tions with their teachers and ad
visors.
The interview blanks should be
turned in to the office of the dean
of men and dean of women im
mediately after the student has
had a conference with his advisor,
Onthank concluded. .
Who Manipulates
Sucker’s Market?
Queries Charley
Don’t sell America short.
Wrong again. This isn't an

It’s just an order from the
Board of Governors of the New

nasty bears have been bearing
down on the market too hard,
so rumblings are being heard
in Congress; “there ought to

Keep the government out of

Weber Overture Listed
The overture, “Der Freischutz,”
by the German composer, Carl
Weber, js a popular concert over
ture. The opening part is featured
with horn quartets and the second
part contains one of the most
beautiful melodies ever written by
Weber. A majestic restatement of
this melodious theme makes up
the finale of the overture.
The "Babes in Toyland" selection
is from one of Victor Herbert's
best liked operettas. It is tuneful
and abounds in catchy rhythms of
beautiful melodies typical of Her

Hopkins To Play
I -___
George Hopkins, head of tho
piano department in tho school of
music, will play in recital Tuesday
evening at 8:15 in the music audi
torium. Hopkins’ offerings for the
evening include 11 selections,
among which is that pulsating
jazz number, the Cuban "Peanut
Vender.'’
Recital Arranged
By Piano Master
Has Full Program
Eleven Numbers Included
In Hopkins' Repertoire
For Tuesday
When the head of the piano de
partment of the school of music
decides to play in recital, he ar
ranges a full and complete eve
ning of music. The 11 numbers
which George Hopkins will offer
Tuesday in the music auditorium
at 8:15 p. m. will constitute such
an evening.
From Mozart's "Fantasia in
C-minor" to Gallico’s "Peanut
Vender,” with the music of seven
countries and four periods repre
sented, the program will be highly
interesting. The pieces will cover
over 150 years of music history.
Hopkins is master of a great
library of modern piano literature.
Along with works of Ravel, mas
ter of the French school and com
poser of the tantalizing "Bolero,”
Respighi, and Hanson, one of the
pianist’s compositions, “Scherzo
valse” will be played.
”E1 Maniscro,” an arrangement
of Gallico’s "Peanut Vendor,” Cu
ban dance tune, probably will be
most interesting to many students.
It is a musically-sound concert
transcription, and brings out the
full jazz strength, combined with
fundamentally proper technique
and structure. Any attempted de
scription of the popular tune, with
its wailing, pulsating sub-rhythms
and melodies, is obviously inade
quate. But Hopkins’s interpreta
tion promises to be more than sat
isfactory, with his technique that
of a virtuoso.

For Victors in Fast
Game
By MALCOLM BAUER
Oregon's freshmen hoopsters
made it three straight over the
Oregon State rooks at McArthur
court last night when they routed
j the Corvallis yearlings 41 to 22.
i The Oregon team led 14 to 10 at
half time.
Every man on the duckling
squad was working at his best.
After getting off to a rather slow
start, the Eugene boys began
dropping them in. Led by Cap
tain Campf and Roland Rourke,
the frosh quickly increased their
slender half-time advantage by 17
points before Coach Lamb's boys
sagged the net.
With the score standing 31 to
10 for the frosh, Callison ran in
his second string. The reserves
held the Orange yearlings even
during the last minutes, and the
game developed into a real fight.
Campf was the leader of the
duckling attack. His floor work
was unexcelled, and he put the
ball in position for many of the
victors’ scores.
Roland Rourke, the Oregon
yearlings' sensational guard, was
the leading scorer of the fracas.
He couldn't miss a shot, and
looped them in from all angles,
dropping in six field goals and
two free throws for a total of 14
points.
George Hibbard, captain and
guard of the Beaver yearlings,
was by far the outstanding per
former for the invaders. He was

Trio of Studio Plays at Guild
Theater Well Liked by Critic
By WILLETT A HARTLEY
All thi;ee of the one-act plays
presented by the Studio players
yesterday afternoon were good.
But, the last play of the program,
"Pan of Pimlico,” v/as outstand
ing for the acting which compen
sated tot the lack of scenery. The
director, Kate Alward, deserved
the hearty applause of the large
audience which saw the plays.
"Will o’ the Wisp,” directed by
Rose Haldeman, was sombre and
grey, furnishing direct contrast to
the bright, light touch of "Ashes
of Roses,” directed by Beth Hurst.
The themes of both were sad, and
the casts were very consistent in
interpreting them.
Albert Culverwell, as Dickon,
and Mary Gould Parsons as the
girl, in “Pan of Pimlico” were
outstanding actors of the pro
gram. Both seemed to fit into
their parts and to render their in
terpretations with practically nc
hesitation or stumbling. Wilbur
Thibault, and Leo Baker, appear
| ing in the same play, were also
| good. The scene was suggestive
of a street in London, where gath
ered these people of the lower
classes literally to relive the ac
tion.
Mary Jean Warner, playing the
poet’s wife in “Will o’ the Wisp,’’
gave a good performance during
| the first part of the play, but fell
down just a little by being too
restrained in the last few scenes.
Dorothy Gordon, Gertrude Wins
low, and Helen Scruggs were ef
fective in their roles. The setting
I for the play was very plain, but
| particularly fitting to the sombre
i ness of the theme.
Louise Marvin as Kitty Cleve,
the great actress, easily took the
honors for the best actress of
“Ashes of Roses.” The other
members of the cast were fair.
| The setting for this play was the
best for any of the three. It rep
' resented the dressing room of an
actress and had a clever note of
contrast to that for “Will o’ the
| Wisp.”
