Sheep Graze Over Stanford Campus, Say Debate Visitors By ELINOR HENRY Junior Shine day made quite an Impression on Howard Conn and Abe Mellinkoff, debaters from Stanford university. “We thought it was a perma nent thing,” laughed Mellinkoff, "a way for poor boys to earn their way through school.” Conn complimented Oregon on its campus. “You have beautiful buildings,” he said. “We haven’t any big lawns like you have. They graze sheep bet ween our dormitory and the library. It's mostly fields, except just in front of the build ings. We’re out in the country, really. It’s a mile from Palo Alto, but it's easy to catch rides.” Mellinkoff, a senior in political science, writes a feature column, the “Bull Session,” in the Stanford Daily. He telegraphs his column from wherever he happens to be, and Oregon came in for its share of comment in the wire he sent last night. When asked to choose, as a jour nalist, his own topic for an inter view, Mellinkoff said, "Women are always good copy. There are only 500 women and 3000 men at Stan ford, and the women are stuck up. Here they seem friendly.” Conn, a senior in philosophy, took part recently in the first de bate ever held over a national hook-up. The Stanford team talked over KFRC, the Harvard debaters in Boston, and the judge was in New York. He was Francis Rufus Bellamy, editor of Nation. "I don’t like radio debates,” Conn declared. “After all the art of debate is talking to an audience and knowing whether they under stand you or not. It was an inter esting experience, though.” *Pappie % Self-Styled Greatest Artist, Back With Wisecracks Strolling Portrait Painter Claims He’s Sketched 400,000 Collegians By WILLETTA HARTLEY Charles Pape, who is around the campus painting portraits of stu dents, is the greatest artist in the world. He says so himself, so it must he true. “Why,” he says, "all the crowns of the crowned heads in Europe got rusty and the Smith Brothers grew beards waiting for me.” Mr. Pape, or “Pappie” as he is called, wa3 at the Sigma Chi house when interviewed yesterday afternoon. He was telling the buys about himself and doing a few portraits. It takes him just l,r> minutes to complete a portrait. He uses a fountain paint brush of his own invention. He did portraits of students in all the sororities and fraternities here six years ago. Painting col lege students is his business, he says. “I’ve been painting for 35 years and have done portraits of about 400,000 college students. Anyone who doesn’t think my work is good just doesn’t know art.” "Where are you from?” I asked Mr. Pape. “Well,” he said, “I had a studio in the Valley of the Kings, but the sand got in my eyes so I moved.” Later he said he was from Boston, then changed his mind and was going to be from Chicago. But upon second thought he said, "Chicago! A1 Capone is from Chicago. I’m not going to be from the same place as such Formals Attractively styled in the mode of the hour, but priced so inexpensively. $10.75—$16.75 White Kid Gloves For formal wear—16 but ton length — pearl but tons.

No, I'm from Dixon.” The artist says he has painted portraits of students at Harvard, Yale and Princeton. ‘‘Have you ever done any pictures in Eu rope?" he was asked. “Oh, yes, I painted a picture of Europe and sold it in China,” was his come back. President Hoover’s son is on the list of students for whom Mr. Pape has done portraits. William Randolph Hearst Jr. borrowed a dollar to have his portrait done. The visiting artist didn't know how long he would be on the cam pus. It just depended, he said, upon whether the students appre ciated him or not. He was just going to a few fraternities. I asked him how he decided which fraternities to bestow the honor upon and he said, “I’m glad you asked me that. I just look to see which ones have the most cars out in front.” Mr. Pape didn't seem to think much of publicity. When I tried to make an appointment with him he said, "Mr. Hoover and I don’t bother much about publicity. We havp so much of it.” Later he said, “Fame—fame—why! I’m al ready famous. And where does that get me? Look at Shake speare-. It isn’t fame that counts in this world, it's money.” The line of chatter that this self-styled "greatest artist in the world” hands out keeps his listen ers amused. The self-assurance and clever wit of the man are worth the ears of anyone who wants to have a portrait done and hear all about Mr. Pape. Thacher Guest Speaker For Lions’ Organization W. F. G. Thacher, professor of advertising, was t h e principal speaker on the weekly Lions club luncheon program yesterday at (he Eugene hotel. George Washington was the sub ject of Mr. Thacher’s talk, which included the comparison of the country’s first president to that of Lincoln. Three reasons were enumerated for the fact that Lincoln is be coming a more favored figure in American history in comparison to Washington's popularity, which has seemed to fade and become unreal. Recency was given as one factor. The fact that Washington was a typical English squire and Lincoln is a typical example of an American was listed. And because Lincoln always had great difficul ties to overcome was given as an other reason. Oregon Upholds Affirmative Side Against Stanford Webfoot Debaters Claim Depression Due to Capitalism "If we abolish trade barriers then prosperity would return, not in periodic cycles, but in a steady flow,” asserted Abe Mellinkoff, the first speaker for Stanford, in the debate with the Oregon affirma tive yesterday afternoon. The question was: "Resolved, That the ! present depression is a major in dictment of the capitalistic sys-' tern." No decision was rendered. The Oregon speakers were Wal- 1 lace Campbell and Rolla Reedy, i Mellinkoff’s colleague was Howard J. Conn. Mellinkoff claimed that capital ism could not be blamed for the depression, but the guilt could be fixed on the system as practiced in the national government. He went on to say that economics should be international, and that in a system of control in which both money and goods flowed free ly, no periods of hard times re sulted. The second speaker for the neg ative, Conn, spoke of the incentive to accomplishment that is appar ent in the capitalistic form of con trol. He mentioned the rights of the individual that can not be re spected in socialism, the only pos sible alternative to capitalism. The affirmative problem to show that the present depression was sufficiently calumnious to form a major charge, and to prove that such periods are a regular feature of capitalism. Reedy pictured the serious eco nomic state of the country. The number of people who are in desti tution was mentioned. His account of the surplus was elaborated by a t story from everyday life. Campbell, in an effort to dis prove the negative’s statements, said that there was no profit al lowed to the individual in the prev alent system. He maintained that the only compensation given to the people was in the form of a wage, and that the "entrepreneurs” took none of the risk in production. The working man and the middle class es carry the load in the form of un employment and failures in busi ! ness. Carl Thuneniuim Speaks To Class in Advertising Department Store. Sales Manager Outlines New Trends Carl Thunemann, advertising manager of McMorran and Wash burne department store, spoke to W. F. G. Thacher’s class in adver tising yesterday morning on pres ent day advertising and its en volving problems. In his talk Mr. Thunemann pointed out that advertising today differs from that of an earlier date in the fact that forecasts in the field of business through ad vertising are not made with exact assurance. Using the Eugene de partment store as his basis of veri fication, he stated that the public reacts more to sales than to the regular distribution of articles. Mr. Thunemann was formerly advertising manager of Lipman and Wolfe department store in Portland, and before then was em ployed with the old McMorran and Washburne store. Members of this advertising class are working on the annual! advertising contest sponsored by McMorran and Washburne with prizes of $10 for first award and $5 for the second. This year the problem is the preparation of ad vertising and other promotional material for the ‘'Estate" electric ranges. The contest closes this j Friday and the winners will be an nounced some time next week.

Reversed dime crawls, fashion dances, and planting of pins by certain women on the campus furnish evidence to that effect. But it was a surprise yester day to see a woman shining a man’s shoes—even on Junior Shine Day. Yes, it’s true. The young lady in question was none other than Marguer ite Tarbell, red-headed flash, and the man was the well known blond peril, Slug Palmer. Those who inspected the work said the shine was as good as any passed out by the male bootblacks. Greed for Power Is Cause of War Says Avis Lobdell It is not because men love to fight that we have war, Miss Avis Lobdell of Portland, women’s wel fare director of the Union Pacific railway and an authority on mod ern peace problems, declared last night before more than 50 Eugene and University women at an open meeting of the Eugene Business and Professional Women’s club in Alumni hall. War is caused by the greed loi power and authority that early civilization taught its enemies. Civilization furnished them with the weapons with which it was lat er overwhelmed. In the bronze age, the policy of exchanging weapons for commodities spelled disaster for those who sold. It was proved again with the introduction of iron and steel, and only drastic measures can prevent our own civ ilization from being wiped out in the same manner. “We can’t survive having our own weapons turned upon us,” Miss Lobdell said, pointing out the pow er for destruction of modern gas, heat, and bacteriological bombs. But she believes that women are the most compelling force in the world today. "The peace of the world,” she stated, “is in the hands of the women. We’ve got to make our children learn that war never ends war. Armaments cause war, never prevent it. We have to talk at the end, why not at the begin ning?” The International house trio sang several selections at the opening of the meeting. The trio is composed of Dick Funai, Lloyd Brown, and Ven Demondante. Piano and violin selections were, given by Charlotte Hilliard and Mrs. Olga Krake.

TONIGHT (Continued from Page One) spirit of individualism that is practiced under the “laissez faire” doctrine. The existence of large surpluses of foodstuffs and cloth ing while people were starving and lacking sufficient garments 10 keep warm was illustrated as a crying need of some sort of change, and they maintained that the only possible change could be government regulation of produc tion. The negative claimed that the very existence of want and suffer ing in the nation was due to the trend of modern business towards centralization. The failures of the 1 government in the past in regula- ! tion efforts were also brought out. | i TALKIE TOPICS ► McDonald — “Ladies of the Big House,” starring Sylvia Sidney.

NEWTON Sidney at McDonald Another prison picture is put across by good acting and direct ing in “Ladies of the Big House,” starring Sylvia Sidney. The kitten like little actress fully justifies the name she made for herself in “Street Scene.” The story concerns innocent per sons, for a change, who don't “re form” from a life of crime, but are living a perfectly normal life which is interrupted. A big beer baron is attracted by the flower shop girl, and constantly annoys her with his presence. A young man, played ably by Gene Ray mond, meets the girl, and after a whirlwind romance, the two are married. The bootlegger, laden with jealosy and a “gat,” seeks out the couple. A detective steps in and is killed by the beer baron, and the young Mr. Evans and wife “take the rap.” The trials and tribulations which the young cou ple suffer in the prison make the movie fan suffer with them, and the contrasting happiness at the end leaves Mr. Fan delighted. Wynne Gibson, who plays the prison inmate with the hard face and soft heart, does her jealous moll part with her usual clever ness. The feature picture is supple mented by a Paramount Newsreel which bears some of the most in teresting shots of the year. Actual scenes along the Chinese-Japanese battle front are shown. Flaming buildings and crashing walls are pictured from such close range that the cameraman must have risked his life a hundred times, if once. * * * “Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde” is coming tomorrow with Frederic March and Miriam Hopkins in the stellar roles. * * * Tashmun at Colonial “Murder by the Clock,” with Lilyan Tashman, and “Another Mess,” featuring Laurel and Hardy in a three-reel feature, are show ing tonight for the last time.

One might think that this pic ture is similar to our popular ink blot comedies—but it is not. In spite of the fact that only images are used, a delightful result is ob tained through intricate and artis tic direction and execution of the film. All of the action is naturally in pantomime while captions explain what is going on from time to time. The story concerns the ad ventures of a handsome Prince Achmed. The winged horse and a sorcerer with evil intentions com bine to start Achmed on his event ful journey through starry heavens filled with conventional five-point ed stars and fairy kingdoms popu lated with charming and very am orous hostesses. Aladdin and his lamp, mythical female ogres, horned bats and hairy dragons are introduced as the tale progresses, but don’t think for a moment that it is a child’s picture, although they would probably enjoy it im mensely. “Prince Achmed,” is a release from the rapid-fire, sex-mad films now commonly run. It is a simple tale illustrated in Eoris Artsyba sheff style. PARTY CONVENTION SET The national convention of the Socialist party will be held May 7 at Milwaukee.
