Centralization
Denounced by
Utah Debaters
Control Plan Socialistic,
Asserts Negative
Affirmative Gives Control
On National Seale as
Depression Cure
“Centralized control can only
function properly in an undesir
able state of communism, in which
the government can regulate both
demand and production,” stated
Darrell W. Crockett of Utah Agri
cultural college, the first speaker
for the negative, in the debate
with the University of Oregon
team last night in Johnson hall.
The question, on which no deci
sion was rendered, was: “Resolved,
That congress should enact legis
lation providing for the central
ized control of industry.”
The Oregon speakers were Tom
Tongue and Cecil Espy, both of
some experience in varsity foren
sic work. J. Rex Dibble was the
colleague of Crockett on the neg
ative.
Centralized Control Not Practical
“We maintain the centralized
control would not be practical be
cause any management exercised
in the United States would not
^ affect production in foreign lands,
and the affirmative has contended
that such control would necessar
ily include limiting of production.”
He went on to show that the
only way in which outside com
petition could be met would be
the enclosing of the country with
in high tariff walls, that would
return the United States back to
the old manner in which no for
eign commerce was conducted.
Such "Monroeism” would be unde
sirable in the present system of
international relations, he as
serted.
The affirmative case was built
on the achievements of the gov
ernment in the past in centralized
control measures. They cited the
examples of the war relations
board, the interstate commerce
commission, and the virtual con
trol of food production through
the enactment of pure food laws.
Reorganization Need Stressed
The need of some sort of re
organization to relieve the pres
ent day depression was also
stressed by the Oregon team. They
showed that the present day trend
in industry was towards centrali
zation, in such instances as Gen
eral Motors, United States Steel
company, and others.
The negative replied that the
depression period could be blamed
entirely on that tendency in mod
ern business, as well as on “sick
industries” which are due to mod
ern inventions supplementing the
use of the old.
The debate concluded with re
buttals by both sides and ques
tioning by the audience, which is
a feature of the non-decision con
test.

standing contributions to educa
tion or other phases of social or
community welfare.
Dr. Hall’s achievements at the
University here, his organization
work on national social science and
other organizations, and his writ

Marion Sheldon, Youngest
Student, 'Collects Things’
By ELINOR HENRY
If the psychologists would agree
to the existence of a “collector's
instinct,” it would be proper to
say that Marion Sheldon, young
est student in the University of
Oregon, has that “instinct.”
Whether or not it is an instinct,
a desire, a drive, a mania, or just
a habit, the collections of the 16
year-old freshman in education are
many and varied. The walls of
her room display her t “picture
maps.” They range from an ar
tistic portrayal of Paris to a
"Bootlegger’s Map of the United
States."
Then there are elephants. Red
elephants held up her books. Six
blue elephants, increasing in size
in geometric proportion, march
across her window sill, closely pur
sued by three green, one white, one
orange, and one beast of a non
descript pink and gray. But her
favorite is another pink one, done
in the modernistic manner.
Stored away in the attic are all
but two of the bottles which were
an earlier interest of the profes- :
sor’s blonde daughter. One has be
come a lamp for her study table, ,
and the other is unusual enough
to warrant keeping it in sight. It
once contained a “vintage antique’’
of the year 1914, and has a spider
and web design on its glass sides,
while the numerous stamps and
labels warn against the use of the
bottle for “distilled spirits.” It was
a gift from a friend.
Miss Sheldon’s aspirations are as
varied as her collections, though
she says, “I’ve always had high
ambitions, but they haven’t mate
rialized. I suppose I’ll follow in
the family footsteps and teach
school.”
“I have a lot of ideas about
things I want to do,” she added,
“but I don’t know how I’ll ever
get time to do them all. I'd like
to do social work and work in ju
venile courts. I want to run sum
mer camps. I had some aspirations
of being a writer. But I want to
travel more than anything.”
“Shelley,” as the girls at the
Kappa Kappa Gamma house know
her, intends to learn to speak
French as well as she does English.
When she was four to six years
old, she went to a private school

Has Wide Experience
While abroad last year, Dr.

Roscoff, France, the zoological
station at Naples, Italy, and the
embryological institute at Brus

course of lectures here in fall term
of 1928.
Dr. Moore also visited the labor

Hopkins Gives Music Recital
With Mixture o f Old and New
Comprehensive Program Is
Illustrated by Head
Of Piano School
By GUY WE UN HAM
A comprehensive anil interesting
program was given before a large
audience at the music auditorium
last night by George Hopkins,
head of the piano department of
the University school of music.
While it contained music com
posed 150 years ago, as the pianist
pointed out in preliminary re
marks, it was not his intention to j
give a survey of a century and ai
half of music, even if that were I
possible.
In the remarks with which Mr.
Hopkins illustrated his program,
he spoke of the piano as the one
instrument on which a solo per
former can express his musical in
dividuality. He did not mean by
this, he pointed out, that the piano
is the only instrument worth play
ing. but that it is the solo instru
ment par excellence, for it allows
full opportunity for the expression
of the composer's conception of
tonality.
The outstanding feature of the
program was the Beethoven “Son
ata quasi una Fantasia,” which
came after the two highly pianistic
first numbers (Fantasia in C-mi
nor of Mozart and the Brahms va
riations on a Paganini theme).
Hopkins' rendering of this famous
composition, with its contrasting
movements, was notable for its
masterly technique and its intelli

[‘Prince Achmed’
Next Faculty Film
Plays Tomorrow
J
Foreign Picture Rendered
Entirely in Silhouette
With Color Effects
“The Wondrous Adventures of
j Prince Achmed,” a feature length
I motion picture film made entirely
i in silhouette, has been obtained
| for the Faculty club cinema show
i ing on Thursday at the Colonial
theatre, it is announced by S. Ste
phenson Smith, chairman of the
committee.
The picture was the work of a
group of artists in Europe who
worked for five years to produce
it. It is regarded as the highest
form of cinema art, and it not only
combines the technique of drama
and pictures, but includes some of
the most beautiful photographic ef
fects ever seen on the screen. It
has a delicate color background
which gives a fantastic effect to
the production.
“Prince Achmed” is a real story,
told in Arabian Nights fashion. It
depicts the adventures of this fam
ous character, and his quest .for
adventure take him into many
strange places and into many un
usual and highly interesting situa
tions.
The picture is really made of
thousands of individual photo
graphs, since each exposure re
I quired a “set.” The making of the
feature was much like that of the
animated cartoons seen today in
theaters, but done with real art
istry.
Cantata by Choir
To Feature Eight
Oregon Students
The cantata “The Seven Last
Words,” which is being presented
at the Methodist Episcopal church,
Twelfth and Willamette, next Sun
day evening at 7:30 by the church
choir, will have Mrs. Edith Hop
kins as soprano soloist, Don Eva
as tenor soloist, ami George
Bishop as baritone soloist.
John Stark Evans, professor of
organ in the school of music, is
choir master, and has been most
of the time since 1917.
The choir is 45 in number, in
cluding a soloquartet, and is one
of the finest of church choirs in
the Northwest.
“The Seven Last Words" is the
musical representation of the last
seven words spoken by Christ
from the cross, Evans stated, and
is more timely because it is to be
presented during the Lenten sea
son.
Don Eva, Evans said, is promi
nent on the campus because of his
glee work, and particularly for his
solo part in the St. Cecelia Mass
which was presented last quarter.
George Bishop, a junior in Eng
lish, has been highly praised for
his work with the gleemen. He
participated in this same kind of
presentation a year ago, according
to Mr. Evans.
Other members of the Univer
sity of Oregon student body who
are in the choir are Ken Kienzle,
Roy Koon, Gordon Fisher, Spencer
Carlson, Rolf Bodding, and Mar
garet Atwood.
The cantata will take the whole
hour.

To Talk Degrees
California’s Position May
Affect Attitude Toward
Journalism Here
The entire membership of the
curricula committee of the Oregon
board of higher education was in
executive session in Portland yes
terday, making a study of the
University of California’s policy of
not offering degree courses in
news and other writing.
The committee will not say how
the position of California, that the
foundation of all such writing is
available to students enrolled in
liberal arts, will affect its atti
tude toward the degree courses
offered by the school of journalism
here and the industrial journalism
department at Oregon State col
lege.
The finals conclusions of the
committee are subject to accept
ance by the entire board of higher
education. Saturday night a trunk
full of the data so far compiled
was sent from the board’s office

AWS Group To Sponsor Film
'TheGay Diplomat’at Colonial
By MADELEINE GILBERT
The Associated Women Stu
dents will sponsor a movie, “The
Gay Diplomat,” starring the young
Russian actor, Ivan Lebedeff, and
a special stage show at the Co
lonial theatre, Wednesday, March
2, it was announced by Jacqueline
Warner, in charge of all arrange
ments for the production.
Added attractions for the eve
ning will be a vocal number by
Sally Addleman, a dance by Louise
Marvin, and a dramatic skit under
the direction of Margaret Hunt.
Ivan Lebedeff is supported by
Genevieve Tobin, an actress of
both legitimate stage and screen,
who played in “Palmy Days,”
"The Youngest,” and “The Trial
of Mary Dugan,” and Betty Comp
son, who recently starred in “The
Lacfy Refuses,” and “Three Who
Loved.” The picture is directed
by the Polish genius, Richard
Boleslavsky, who came to Holly
wood from the renowned Moscow
Art theatre, and has directed two
Otis Skinner plays as well as mu
sical productions for Ziegfeld.
“The Gay Diplomat’’ is staged
in the interesting background of
St. Petersburg and Bucharest and
is built around Captain Orloff, a
prominent Russian officer who is
sent to neutral territory for the
purpose of defeating a powerful
spy system controlled by an un
known woman. His adventures
are lively when besieged by the
attentions of numerous women
whom he must regard as enemies
until their innocence can be posi
tively established. “The Gay Dip
lomat” moreover is reported to be
a pictorial presentation based on
Ivan Lebedeff’s real life as soldier
and diplomat in Russia. Lebedeff
during the World war was the
youngest commissioned captain in
the czar’s service and won mili
tary honor by capturing the high
est German officer made prisoner.
The committee, composed of
Jacqueline Warner, Catherine
Coleman, and Margaret Hunt,
promises no advance in prices for
the combined A. W. S. movie and
stage entertainment.
