Salem Hi Athlete Attached, Beaten By Student Group SALEM, Ore., April 19.—(AP) — Victor DeJardin, prominent Sa lem high school athlete, was “kid naped" after school today, “taken for a ride" several miles into the country and beaten to unconscious ness by a group of his schoolmates, among whom v/ere said to be sev eral other athletes. Young DeJardin is reported to have told persons who found him in a bleeding and battered condi tion south of town, that the boys who kidnaped and beat him were all members of one secret society in the school. Elsewhere it was stated that the trouble arose be cause DeJardin had promised to join the society and then refused. It was reported that the group had tried to “get” him twice be fore. DeJardin was a member of the Salem American Legion junior baseball team last summer and his name came to prominence at that time because of protests filed against him on the ground that he was over age. His record was cleared after lengthy investigation. EMERALD ... of the A I R A sports review, conducted by Bruce Hamby, assistant sports editor of the Emerald, will be given during the Emerald of the Air broadcast at 4:15 this after noon. Oregon’s baseball and track teams, it is reported, are fast rounding into shape; and Hamby will discuss the outlook in these two sports in the first contests for the next two weeks. Decision on Clarence Woolery Awaiterl Today BAKER, Ore., April 19—(AP) — Clarence Woolery, 14 - year - old farm boy charged with the murder of his foster mother, Mrs. Frank Garlock, was given a hearing in juvenile court today and Judge Charles E. Baird announced he would deliver his decision Wednes day. Judge Baird has three alterna tives: he may release the boy; send him to the reform school; or transfer him to the circuit court's jurisdiction for trial as an adult. Nervously biting his fingernails, Woolery listened with sorrowful mien today as officers repeated his alleged confession. Several char acter witnesses testified as to the boy’s good reputation. Some de clared emphatically that he was “an unusually good boy.” Seventeen Initiated Into Tan Delta Delta Monday Seventeen women were initiated into Tau Delta Delta, underclass music honorary, at a meeting of the group Monday evening. Those admitted into the organi zation were: Kathryn Goodpasture, Alvhild Ericksen, Margaret Helt zet, Esther Lofstedt, Elsie Esche beck, Catherine Firebaugh, Max ine Hill, Elizabeth Steiwer, Ruth Hubbs, Dorothy Dodds, Phyllis Magruder, Edwina Anderson, Wil berta Wilson, Eula McMillan, Lou ise Rice, Miriam Henderson, and Margaret Ellen Hill.

This is the second time since scholastic ratings have been tabu lated that a man’s organization has headed the list. Friendly hall took first place winter term last year. Sigma Kappa ranked in second place to top the women’s list. Third place goes to Friendly hall. Other organizations among the first 10 are, in order, Alpha Chi Omega, Phi Mu, Kappa Delta, Kappa Alpha Theta, Alpha Phi, Omega hall and Kappa Kappa Gamma. Sigma Pi Tau leads the frater nity list. Second place goes to Beta Theta Pi. Congratulations were extended yesterday to residents of Sigma hall by Virgil D. Earl, dean of men, and Mrs. Hazel Prutsman Schwering. Dean Earl added that it is significant that five men’s halls are above the all-University average and that the other two are not far below it. “This is certainly a challenge to the other men, and especially to the women students,” commented Dean Schwering. “I think it is splendid that a men’s hall should head the grade list.” Scholastic rankings were first given in 1908. This is the second time since then that a men’s or ganization has been at the top. Sigma hall has been crowding the leaders for the past few terms and for fall term ranked second, first going to Kappa Alpha Theta.

Ristow, pas tor of the First Methodist church, explained the stand of the League for Industrial Democracy at a meeting of the campus league last night at the Y. M. C. A. hut. "First of all,” Dr. Ristow de clared, “men work for a living. Then they work for the joy of cre ative activity. Some, like Jane Addams of Hull house, work for social welfare. A few work sole ly for self-aggrandizement or gain. Many work for the satisfac tion of doing something well.” Economic security for every per son who does his share of the world’s work faithfully and well is the aim of the League for In dustrial Democracy. Unemploy ment insurance, a living wage, and competent medical care read ily available to all are among the means advocated by Dr. Ristow for this end. Evolution, not all-destructive revolution, will ultimately bring society to a ■ realization and an acceptance of its responsibility to individuals. On the ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Dance isks Recent Records Reviewed By LARRY FISCHER Music in the Moonlight One Hour With You Jimmy Grier and his Orch. Grier’s opening number, done in the manner you all know, with Donald Novis singing. Don sings the other side, too, just as he did in the motion picture of the same name. These are two beautiful tunes. Bon Voyage to Your Ship of Dreams I’ve Paid for Love Jimmy Grier and his Orch. Jimmy’s second recording in cludes his closing song, with Don Novis doing the vocal honors, and a brand new tune in which you hear Dick Webster. We recom mend this one as highly as the first one. They make a charm ing couple (of records). By the Fireside Love, You Funny Thing Geo. Olsen and his Music George Olsen's well-known band does a poorer job than usual on this record. There’s plenty of solid rhythm, but the arrange ments aren’t the best we've heard. *■- ~ ~ I < TALKIE TOPICS fe WHAT AND WHERE McDonald—"Misleading Lady,” Claudette Colbert, Edmund Lowe, and Stuart Erwin. First nighter. Colonial — "Smart Women,” Mary Astor and Robert Ames. First nighter. Rfx "Woman of Experience,” i with Helen Twelvetrees, Zasu Pitts, and Lew Cody, and "The Yellow Ticket,” Elissa Landi and Lionel Barrymore. Last showing. State — "Expensive Women,” Dolores Costello, and “Men in Her Life,” Lois Moran and Charles Bickford. Heilig — "Across the World With Mr. and Mrs. Martin Johnson.” “Misleading- Lady’’ Puzzle: if she’s misleading is she a lady? You can make your own answers. We’ll say yes, because she’s Claudette Colbert in this case, and she’s playing in a show of that name at the McDonald today and tomorrow. Nobody we can get ahold of seems to know anything about this show, not even the exhibitors, but with Claudette Colbert, Stuart Erwin, and Edmund Lowe in it it’s bound to be good. Remember the dramatic actress in “Man slaughter?” and remember the “misleading lady” in “The Smiling Lieutenant?” (We couldn't be lieve that.) Then remember Ed mund Lowe in “The Cock-eyed World” and “The Spider?” And Stuart Erwin, the boy who plays the dumb Swede in the movies, but marries June Collyer in real life. Not so dumb! Not a Sideshow— No, not a sideshow, but just the same it contains a curiosity, no doubt. “Smart Women,” at the Colonial, should be a treat to the collich boys. And to make it more attractive they put Mary Astor in it. Edward Everett Horton and Robert Ames have been commend ed for their work in this film also. You see, it’s this way: the wife thinks that the vaccination of a marriage makes a husband wom an-proof, and just to try it out she exposes the husband to the con tagion of gold-diggers. Poor hus band! One gold-digger is Noel Frances, another beautiful blond imported from the follies, and a husband-hunting gal is Gladys Gale with whom we are not fami liar. Tonight is "Scveeno” night with candy for the lucky parties. Double Bill at Rex Tonight is the last chance to see “Woman of Experience” and “The Yellow Ticket” at the Rex. Helen Twelvetrees, Zazy Pitts, and Lew Cody are in the first. Zasu Pitts is said to be one of the best dra matic actresses on the screen. Yes, we said “dramatic.” Remem “Eugene's Own Store” McMorran & Washburne -Phone 2700 Sale!

Mary Astor, appearing in “Smart Women" at the Colonial today. ber the part Beryl Mercer had in “All Quiet on the Western Front?” Zasu Pitts was to play the mother in that show, but folks were so used to laughing whenever her face showed on the screen that they couldn’t take her seriously. Another case of being “typed.” Elissa Landi does fine work in “The Yellow Ticket,” and gives old veteran Lionel Barrymore a run for his money in that picture. It concerns a good Jewish girl who takes the “yellow ticket” (you get it) in order to travel through Russia to see her dying father, this being the only form of pass port issued to Jews. She comes through all right. . * * * Dolores Costello comes back to the screen in “Expensive Women,” which is showing with “Men in Her Life” at the state. Lois Moran and Charles Bickford give good account of themselves in this last. “Men in Her Life” tells the story of a girl who is saved from marrying a bogus count by a rough and ready American. Old story but well done in this in stance, so they say. MEZ SPEAKS AT SALEM At the invitation of C. A. Kells, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at Salem, Dr. John R. Mez, professor of economics and poli tical science, went to Salem last Friday where he spoke before a large gathering at the “Y” build ing on the subject, “International Economic Problems.” UPSTAGE By BOB Gl ILD Got myself amused the other day considering the divers fashions in which theatrical angels flapped their wings in the faces of the pub lic. Steve Smith proposes a Ham let contest to make the campus melancholy dane conscious, thereby giving Mrs. Seybolt a big lift. It’s an insidious move, probably, be cause he has his own irons in the fire ,and any day now we’ll begin to be gotten “Beggar’s Opera’’ conscious. * * * Interesting thing, in thinking of the opera, to imagine how our mor als have improved, even in this dec odent age of jazz babies and hotcha gentlemen. The chorus of women was greatly incensed the other day at their first rehearsal to find hemselves labeled “trulls,” "sluts,” and “doxies.” The best old Saxon words in the script had to be red pencilled. They’re not supposed to mind that sort of thing these days. But even the moving picture hasn’t quite changed things to the point where this old English comedy falls in the bounds of propriety. The only one in attendance that seemed to relish the old pungencies was the maestro, Smith. * a: * Mr. Gay didn't mince matters. The old gentleman had a pretty good grasp of the verities. When he wrote a comedy it was full of funny people. Not even the cast realizes just how funny they’re be ing all the time. It’s a joy to hear the ladies about town singing, “Love Is Our Duty.” Eight college women in a public confessional, not even laughing. Yet this is spring, and just think of all the things that fall under the province of that pleasurable duty. Mr. Gay put his tongue in his cheek when he wrote that song. Yet it smacks of the truth three hundred years later. FIVE IN INFIRMARY Nonearle Ryder, Orval Thomp son, Gladys Burns, Charles Mc Cormack, and Katherine Popp were the patients in the infirmary Tues day.
