Russian Women Hardy, But
Not Romantic, Mueller Says
Today’s Russian does not be
lieve that woman’s supreme pur
pose is to charm man, Dr. John
H. Mueller, associate professor of
sociology, told members of Frosli
commission at a mass meeting
held at the Y. W. C. A. bungalow
last night. Dr. Mueller's subject
was “Women’s Problems in Rus
sia.”
"Romance in Russia is conspicu
ous for its absence,” he said. “No
love scenes are found in Russian
movies, and the relationship be
tween the sexes is one of neutral
ity. The charm usually associated
with women is missing, mainly
due to harsh economic conditions
existing in the country. The mar
riage and divorce situation has de
veloped out of these facts; the
mere wish or expression of divorce
is enough to grant one.
“^The same is true of marriage.
Furthermore, the woman of Rus
sia does not look to housework
for her life occupation. Although
housewives are in good standing,
the government does not encour
age home duties alone.
“The young Russian woman
cannot be divorced from her du
ties more than from her privileges.
She is a strong, sturdy person
who wields an ax or a shovel with
almost the same precision as a
man. Her independence has gone
still farther. She enters many
professions. I am tdld that there
exists a woman's regiment of the
regular army, which is presum
ably the last stronghold of man
kind.”
Describing the status of the |
Russian family, Dr. Mueller pre
dicted that, when Communism is
perfected, a child probably will
not know his own parents. Al
though the government encour
ages man and wife to keep chil
dren under wing, the family to-;
day is archaic. Neither is there
thrift propaganda. The Soviet i
Union absorbs the hazards of old ■
age, illness, and birth.
‘‘In spite of the fact that there 1
is no class distinction, Bolshevism
does not mean that everyone is
willing to shine shoes,” he con-!
eluded. ‘‘There are intelligent
Russians and dumb Russians, and
each may find his place and en
joy it.”
ney, violinist, will play two pieces
by Schutt and Korsakoff.
Doris Helen Patterson will pre
sent two numbers on the harp.
Selections from Bizet will be ren

Lois Johnson will give three pieces
on the piano.
A string quartet, composed of
Beulah Wynd, Josephine Chap
man, Martha Patterson, and Mir
iam Stafford, will present the con
cluding group with three pieces by
Mendelssohn, Pochon, and Raff.

Jamison; Alice Holmback, decora

Pi Lambda Theta Chapter
At Oregon Wins Publicity
Promotion of Higher Educational
Ideals Lauded in Magazine
The February issue of the Na
tional Pi Lambda Theta Journal,
official publication for Pi Lambda
Theta, educational honorary or
ganization for women, carries an
article stressing the purpose of the
University of Oregon Kappa chap
ter. The main aim of the chapter
here is to promote the higher
ideals of education.
Stated the journal, “This means
that as a teacher, every member
will not only perform her own spe
cific duties in the most effective
way possible but will also contrib
ute her full share in cooperative
enterprises in the field of educa
tion.
“Successful education will al
ways need the cooperation of the
home and the school. There is a
need and an opportunity for all
the energy that can be mustered
in both parts of this cooperative
undertaking.” The purpose of the
Kappa chapter was recommended
for other chapters throughout the
United States to emulate.

Southern Oregon
Resident Worried
By Expenditures
Someone down in southern Ore
gon is scratching his or her head,
wondering what the institutions of
higher learning are coming to.
From Central Point—so the
postmark said anyway—comes an
anonymous letter to Paul Ager,
manager of the University busi
ness office. The only contents the
letter reveals are two Emerald
clippings—a glaring headline that
tells us a “Financial Crisis Is
Faced By School,” and an article
flaunting the elaborate Senior Ball
decorations. Such portions as "the
most lavish decoration schemes
ever attempted on the campus,”
“indirectly lighted Buddhas,” “spe
cially designed programs,” and
“formal dinners planned to pre
cede the ball” are heavily under
scored.
Only two short words—"Please
explain”- were contributed by the
mysterious sender.
Evidently this southern Sher
lock Holmes isn’t familiar with
campus policies. At least the sen
iors who partially financed the
event out of the class coffers and
those who purchased tickets to at
tend wouldn’t admit a drain on the
University treasury!

Calkins’ Weak Ankle Gives

Added Worries
BULLETIN!
Jack Robertson, flashy soph

ankle in practice at the Igloo

play in the game tomorrow
night, coaches said last night,
but if he does his performance
will be slowed up.

On the eve of the final game3
With the state institution at Cor
vallis, Oregon's biggest scoring
tnreat, Charles
(Cap) Roberts
was sent to bed

ing for influenza.
Coach Bill Rein
h a r t expressed
fear that the big
center would not
be able to play
i Friday night, al
Cup Roberts though he hoped
that Cap would be in shape by
Saturday for the last game of the
season.
Roberts has been out for prac
tice only once since last Saturday’s
great victory at Corvallis. His
father, C. E. Roberts of Oakland,
California, arrived on the campus
yesterday to see Cap play this
week-end.
Reinhart had more worries add
ed last night when he learned that
Captain Windy Calkins' ankle,
which has been injured since the
last W. S. C. game, was still too
weak for the speedy guard to get
around effectively. Calkins played
at Corvallis last Saturday with the
ankle taped and played his usual
excellent game, but the strain did
little to speed its recovery.

excellent condition. Hank Levoff,

Yank Flier Killed in China
Recalled by Oregon Student
“It really wasn’t as much of a
surprise as it should have been.
I had a feeling that Bob Short
would be showing up In China be
fore the curtain was lowered on
the final act over there. He never
missed a chance to be in on the
most exciting thing of the hour,
no matter what it was.” Eugene
D. Mullins, junior in journalism,
was speaking. He was a former
schoolmate and friend of the
young American aviator who was
shot down in China Tuesday.
“The fact that he tackled three
Japanese airplanes in a dog fight
doesn’t seem unusual when I re
member how he used to take up
old ‘crates’ at the Tacoma airport
and try to see how close he could
come to turning them inside out.
He always enjoyed taking a
chance. His favorite stunt during
the lunch hour when we were in
high school was to balance him
self on a narrow pipe railing that
was three feet from the ground on
one side and 30 feet above some
concrete steps on the other side.
He would throw pieces of bread
from there for the seagulls to
fight over.”
This is the second aviator
schoolmate and friend of Mullins
that has gone to his death in the
line of duty during the past four
weeks. Lieut. Edward D. Hoff
man, young army flier who wa3
lost in the California mountains a
few weeks ago, and for whom a
search is still being carried on,
was the first.
