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

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.

It’s Leap Year
Tarbell Shines
Palmer’s Shoes
HPHIS Is leap year! 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.

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.

merely black and white, but half
tones, shadings and colored back
ground are artistically woven into |
the scenes with a skill that makes
one exclaim on many occasions at
their sheer beauty.
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.
