NUMBER 81
Assembly Plan
Gets Backing
Of Mimnaugh
Student Politics Chosen
As First Topic
Two Speakers To Present
f Sides of Question,
Idea Proposed
Definite assurance that the reg
ular semi-monthly assembly plan
suggested by the N. S. F. A. com
mittee will be
promptly carried
into effect was
given last night
by Brian Mim •
naugh, president
of the A. S. U.
O., when he an
nounced that the
first of the as
semblies will be
held as soon as1
p o s s ible, either J
late this week or
Brian Mimnaugh early next week.
A tentative subject for discus
sion was likewise suggested by
Mimnaugh, this being the move
made two weeks ago by women’s
living groups in deciding not to
align themselves with any politi
cal ticket in campus elections.
. The topic was chosen as being of
primary and vital interest on the
campus at the present moment.
Date To Be Decided
“It will probably not be possible
to schedule the assembly this
week, because two class hours
have already been devoted to that
purpose in the Washington cele
bration. Annoujicement of time
and place will be made Wednes
day, after a discussion with the
University administration.”
Mimnaugh expressed himself as
well pleased with the assembly
plan, declaring that they would be
held regularly as long as interest
in them lasts.
Two Sides to Question
"The question raised by the i
women’s houses in refusing, as
units, to back political candidates
has two sides,” Mimnaugh de
clared. “It could have the effect
desired by the heads of houses
committee, but it might also have
the undesirable effect of allowing
^ secret influences and organiza
tions to get a foothold at Oregon.
“The problem merits debate be
fore the student body. If present
plans go through, the assembly
will be carried on somewhat in
the manner of an informal debate,
with two speakers presenting their
sides of the situation. Free dis
cussion from the floor will be al
lowed.
“Few people realize that there
are two sides to the matter. I
believe that the campus is entitled
to know both sides, and believe
that the assemblies suggested by
the N. S. F. A. committee will
provide the best means of pre
senting them.”
Oregon To Uphold
Negative Against
Utah on Industry
_£_
Tom Tongue and Cecil Espy will
L meet the representatives of the
Utah Agricultural college, uphold
ing the negative, on the question:
“Resolved, That congress should
enact legislation providing for the
centralized control of industry,"
in a decisionless contest tomorrow
evening, at 7:30, in room 110 John
son hall.
Both Tongue and Espy are in
their first year of college compe
tition. The former is a sophomore
in pre-law and the latter a sopho
more in the school of allied arts
and architecture.
The question to be argued has
been previously taken up by Espy
and Tongue against the Spokane
university debaters a week ago.
In that contest, the importance of
action by the government to return
the country to normal was empha
sized by the affirmative as an ar
gument for centrolized control.
The negative reasoning centered
around the impracticability of en
deavors for centralization in the
past. The idealism of the affirm
ative was also berated, the nega
tive asserting that a Utopian sit
uation, that could not be achieved,;
would be essential to the success j
of the plan.
Walter E. Hempstead, instructor \
of English, will act as chairman.
Life Development
To Be Discussed
In Talk hy Moore
Pictures of Various Stages
In Growth of Egg To
Be Shown
! The simplest elements of embry
ology, in non-technical language,
and illustrated by lantern slides,
will be presented by Dr. A. R.
Moore, professor of general phys
iology, when he discusses “Form
From Chaos in Biological Systems’’;
Wednesday evening at 7:30 in Vil- 1
lard hall.
The lecture will deal with the
development of the highly complex
animal from the comparatively
simple and unformed material of
the egg. Some of the more dram
atic phases of development will be
discussed by Dr. Moore to illus
trate the process by which the egg
becomes molded into the organism.
Pictures of the developing egg at
different stages will be shown. The
animals which will be most re
ferred to are the sea urchin of our
rocky coasts, and the common frog
and water newt.
Dr. Moore will attempt to ac
quaint the audience with the lines
along which modern embryological
research is proceeding, both in this
country and in Europe, and sug
gests possible future advances.
This talk to which the public is
invited, is the last of a series of
lectures to be presented by the
committee on free intellectual ac
tivities. Five others have been pre
sented by different members of;
the faculty.
Wesley Club Hears Conklin
Talk on In feriority Complex
“The reaction of the ordinary
human being to an inferiority feel
y ing or complex is usually expressed
in a defense mechanism,” Dr. Ed
mund S. Conklin, chairman of the
department of psychology, told the
Wesley club Sunday evening.
“Sometimes this defense mechan
ism takes the form of bad temper.
Some people are unduly aggres
sive, often as a result of an infe
riority feeling. In fact, the de
fense mechanism takes many other
forms in which the individual tries
to shield his own inferiority feel
ing.”
“Of 300 students examined in
this University, it was found that
42 per cent readily recalled being
troubled at some time or other
with inferiority feelings. Larger
tests show that between 40 per
cent and 50 per cent can imme
diately recall inferiority feelings.
This means that a much larger
number probably have suffered
from such feelings, though not to
the extent that they could remem
ber easily,” Dr. Conklin said.
The causes of inferiority feelings
are numerous, the speaker pointed
out. Many people have real organ
ic defects, but most inferiority
feelings are usually in the imag
ination, he said, adding that if
there is an actual organic inferior
ity, then the person afflicted should
develop something that will make
him superior in other ways.
Answering the question, “What
is poise in personality, and how is
poise to be achieved?” Dr. Conk
lin pointed out that poise is large
ly a matter of integration of or
ganization. A disturber of poise is
Jfrequently self-consciousness, he
said.
Asked “What is the place of re
ligion in personality?” Dr. Conk
lin answered by saying that in so
far as religion creates a definite
goal and purpose in life, it con
tributes one of the most important
features in the organization of
personality. Religion contributes
enormously to the organization of
the individual in the world in which
he lives, Dr. Conklin said.
The subject of Professor Conk
lin’s talk was “How Psychology
Helps One to Understand His Own
Personality.” He defined person
ality as designating all that a 3u
man being is, including his anat
omy, temperament, acquired char
acteristic!, and habits. The lower
animals have personality, differing
greatly, however, from that of a
human being, he said.
This was the second of a series
of talks sponsored by the Wesley

Barker Depicts
New Aspect of
First President
i
Struggle of Washington
In Office Outlined
Campus, Townspeople Join
In Commemoration of
Anniversary
Depicting in verbal form “the
other side of the picture of the
life of Washington that we very,
very seldom see,” and crowning
that picture with a philosophical
j caption of a new kind, Burt Brown
Barker, vice-president of the Uni
versity, yesterday gave the prin
| cipal address before a large as
I sembly crowd gathered at McAr
thur court to celebrate the bi-cen
tennial birthday of George Wash
ington.
To this picture was added the
emotional touches of music by the
University concert band in a half
hour concert preceding the ad
dress.
Picking up the story of the first
president from the angle of “the
Washington glorified in history,”
flaying any of the modern impetu
ous criticism of the man that
might exist, and adding those
facts of history that show “the
battle that Washington had to
fight,” Vice-President Barker
viewed his subject thenceforth in
the light of “a character built by
lamentations of experiences.”
Executive Hardships Cited
A plea not to look at great char
acters as the results of great trials
and circumstances, introduced the
life of Washington as the pointer
for the modern world, the pointer
that shows the fine distinctions
between the successful and the
non-successful.
To the usual impressionistic ex- !
periences of the “historical Wash
ington” built into the man's char
acter, the speaker touched the
story with emphasis on political
and executive hardships that “are
on the other side of the picture of
the first president, through which
stood the man,” and with empha
sis that “Washington, already in
dependent in life, accepted a pub
lic duty, never refusing to take1
the difficult task.”
Band Opens Concert
Under the direction of John
Stehn, the 75-piece concert band
opened the assembly program at
10:30 a. m. with two marches.
“American Patrol” was next:
played, followed by “Columbia,” a
medley of patriotic tunes, “Sells
Floto Triumphal March,” and
“Stars and Stripes Forever.”
S. M. Calkins, city attorney, in
troduced Vice-President Barker.
Brian Mimnaugh, A. S. U. O. pres
ident, introduced Mr. Calkins. The
Washington celebration sub-com
mittee in charge of the assembly
functioned under the direction of
Carlton E. Spencer, professor of
law, as chairman.

group and the same congeniality
at this meeting as at the Recogni
tion service,” announced Cynthia
Liljequist, frosh commission presi
dent.
Speakers will announce this mass
meeting at all living organizations
this noon and all freshman girl?

Hopkins’ Recital Selections
Cover 150 Years of History
Pianist's Concert Tonight
Will Present Numbers
Of Varied Interests
The annual recital of J.he head
of the piano department of the
University school of music always
is an event of prime interest, and
George Hopkins’s program for to
night, given below, is in no way
an exception to this tradition.
Two groups of modern numbers
will attract much attention.
The concert is to begin at 8:15
p. m. in the auditorium of the
Music building, and is free to the
campus and general public.
Hopkins will open with Mozart's
“Fantasia 1. C-minor” and the
Paganini-Brahms “Variations,” of
which he will play the first set
of variations on a simple theme.
Beethoven’s “Sonata quasi una
Fantasia,” opus 27, No. 1, will fol
low. The four movements are the
andante, scherzo, adagio, and al
legro vivace.
The first modern group will
open with Ravel’s "Pavane.” The
present leader of the advanced
French school of modern compos
ers has written a startling com
position in the "Pavane,” and Hop
kins’s reputation for fidelity tc
the spirit of the moderns may be
relied on to make the most of the
Ravel work.
Following this will come Hop
kins’s own “Seherzo-valse,” a re
cently completed number. The pi
anist’s “Valse Burlesque,” first
performed publicly in 1925 by
Mischa Levitski, and his “Man
hattan Suite” won for him consid
erable recognition in the East.
Eesides these, he has written many
other pieces for the piano, and his
“Promenod,” for violin and piano,
was performed last week for the
experimental classes in music ap
preciation, under the direction of
Dean John J. Landsbury.

Oregon Debaters
Win Decision With
Washington State
Women’s Team Also Makes
Tour But Is Not So
Successful
The Oregon men’s negative de
bate team, made up of Walt Evans
and Hobart Wilson, was awarded
the decision over the Washington
State college affirmative team last
Friday, on the question, “Resolved,
That congress should enact legis
lation providing for the central
ized control of industry.”
The debate was held at Pull
man, Washington, and was one of
three contests in which Evans and
Wilson participated. The other
two, with Whitman college and
the University of Idaho,- were de
cisionless.
The woman’s team, which fol
lowed the same route but was in
dependent of the men's tour, was
not as successful. Florence Hollo
way and Betty Whitson, who up
held the negative, lost the decision,
in the only debate in which one
was given, to the Washington
State college co-eds.
The question argued was, "Re
solved, That the divorce laws of
the state of Nevada should be
condemned.” Whitman college and
the University of Idaho were also
met in decisionless contests.
EIGHT IN INFIRMARY
This weather is too good for
very many students to remain in
bed. The infirmary only had eight
inmates Monday. They are: Alice
Madsen, Bertha Gray, William
Johnson, Kazami Hirai, Urlin
Page, Virgil Langtry, Gilbert
Lageson, and Duane Frisbie.
Sheldon Talks in Portland
Public Library Saturday
Henry D. Sheldon, dean of the
school of education, addressed an
audience of 300 Saturday at the
public library in Portland on
“Washington and the Intellectual
Background of the Eighteenth
Century.”
Dean Sheldon discussed Wash
ington’s interests in education, his
method of analysis and intellectual
attack. He also made reference
to Washington’s literary stylo, his
interest in political problems, mil
itary matters, and in the field of
agriculture.

More Drafting
Our rural friend, Alfalfa Bull

He wore an unpressed sack
suit a la Hoover, and sat on a

presidency may cost him his

my country,” he says.
“Lower taxes,” he gasps in
one breath, and “pay the sol

next. /
“More trade,” he bellows, and
“make the tariff equal the dif

urges.
“No trusts,” he says, on one
hand, and on the other hand he
has five fingers.

Saturday, adopted a resolution in
favor of a proposal made by Prof.
Harold S. Tuttle, of the education
department, involving a 12-year
plan of training interests and atti
tudes of school children.
The plan is to be worked out by
a committee appointed by the
county president. Mrs. Virgil Earl,
wife of the dean of men and state

jplan.
Howard Relates
His Ideas of True
fChristian Citizen9
Charles G. Howard, professor of
law, addressed the members of
! Westminster forum Sunday night
i on “What Is a Christian Citizen?”
Professor Howard classified all
citizens as belonging to one of
three groups. The first group he
characterized as the zero section.
"They are the selfish and self
centered group who get all they
can from the state and give as
little as they can to it,” explained
Mr. Howard.
The second group Mr. Howard
called the negative class. "These
are the public enemy," he said.
They oppose all advances which
are for the public good. The con
stitution is divine to them; they
i are the extreme conservatists, and
' call themselves patriots.
Professor Howard's third classi
! fication was that of the positive
citizen. "He is a man of keen
community conscience. He is keen
! to all problems of the nation, the
I state, and of other nations. He is
a Christian and attempts to build
a home and family to serve society
in an unselfish manner," stated
Professor Howard.
In closing, Mr. Howard declared
that a university should teach the
student to be an individual thinker
and to develop a social conscience.
Polyphonic Choir
To Offer Selection
Of Mendelssohn’s
‘Hymn of Praise’ Number
Chosen for Coming
Sunday Concert
Felix Mendelssohn’s “Hymn of
Praise” will be the offering next
Sunday afternoon at 3 p. m. of
the first division of the University
Polyphonic choir and the Univer
sity Symphony orchestra. Arthur
Boardman will direct the perform
ance, which will be given in the
music auditorium.
The “Hymn of Praise,” or “Lob
gesang,” is acknowledged to be
probably the finest composition of
its type in the field of music. The
orchestration and choral passages
are superb, and the solo work is
of outstanding merit. Soloists will
be announced later in the week.
Sunday afternoon concerts on
the campus have achieved wide
popularity. So completely has
President Hall’s “music for all the
students” program been carried
out during the present year that a
Sunday afternoon without some
major musical event is a rarity.
The first division of 40 care
fully chosen voices has not yet
been heard this year. Supported
by the large second division, 210
singers and accompanied by the
University Symphony orchestra,
they presented Handel’s “Messiah”
at Christmas time.
The Mendelssohn work was orig
inally scheduled to be given at
Thanksgiving time, but the crowd

New Rules for
Co-eds Set by
DeanofWomen
Regulations Made More
Striet by Edict
Late Per, Frosli Walkouts
Forbidden; Individual
Keys Banned
Several new regulations were in
cluded in the complete set of gen
eral University regidations issued
yesterday by the dean of women's
office.
First among the new rules is the
regulation forbidding "late per
mission” to co-eds escorted by out
of-town men. In the past, girls
who went out with men were not
in the University were given per
mission to stay out till 1 o’clock —
4f> minutes beyond the usual dead
line.
Costume dances at hotels are
henceforth forbidden, according to
the new rules. Also, all costumes
worn at such dances must be in
good taste, the rules state.
A long standing tradition was
abolished when a new rule
1 was formulated forbidding women
to serve food to men guarding the
concrete “O” on Skinner’s Butte
during Homecoming.
Freshman walkouts are hence
forth strictly forbidden. A general
walkout last term resulted in some
violence at an out-of-town dance
hall.
Women will no longer be per
mitted to have individual keys to
sorority houses, the office has
ruled. The house mothers and
house-presidents will arrange for
locking the houses at night under
the new riding.
A new principle relating to gov
erning activities of the houses was
laid down with the rule that house
mothers and house presidents will
henceforth be required to have
weekly conferences to discuss
house problems and policies.
While none of the rules is a very
radical change from past •policies,
it is believed that it will result in
some changes in the social activi
ties of Oregon co-eds.

Concert Band Shows Nicety
Of Expression In Program
By JACK BADER
With military precision the Uni
versity concert band went through
its paces Sunday afternoon. The
program was sufficiently varied to
give every palate a taste of its
favorite musical morsel.
Director John Stehn’s coordinat
ing baton drew some very pretty
tone pictures in the sunlit audito
rium.
It was a large afternoon for Eu
phonist Siegfried von Berthelsdorf,
who carried solo passages in three
of the six numbers.
Eilenberg’s "March of the Ital
ian Riflemen" opened the concert
in snappy style. The overture to
Weber’s "Der Freischutz" fol
lowed. The theme was put forth
by a quartet of horns, supported
by soft, sustained chords. Clari
nets took up the melody in jerky
rhythm, and advanced to a really
rousing climax in which full
chords, played at a double forte,
showed the capacity of the young
musicians. The attacks and re
leases were clean—which is more
than can be said of some profes
sional bands drawing fabulous fees
from radio sponsors.
In Drigo's “Serenade,” the trum
pets and clarinets tossed the mel
ody back and forth in strict waltz
time. It was in this number that
the first euphonium solo was
heard. Accompanied by the clari
nets, oompahs — or rather the
tubas and bassoons von Berthels
dorf gave a nice performance. His
work on the euphonium was, in
deed, ‘'well-sounding."
Martin Geary, drummer, was a
very busy man in the medley of
selections from Victor Herbert’s
“Babes in Toyland.” The full band
gave a snap and verve to the com
position that would have pleased
its composer.
Again in the Tschaikowsky
waltz from the “Sleeping Beauty"
ballet, the euphonium took the solo
lead, accompanied by the agitated
chords so characteristic of the
Russian composer. The trombone
section furnished a firm and solid
foundation of tone on which the
melody was built.
“Gipsy Life,” a descriptive num
ber by Charles Le Thiere, closed
the afternoon. With the flute
(Victor Bryant) trilling long notes,
the quartet of French horns hold
ing out close-harmony chords, and
the bassoons (Jane Burke and
John Finley) lending sobriety to
the tonal setting, the clarinets, in
jerky melody, drew a picture of
