Lane County
Clerk Speaks
For Classes
Dillard Will Describe Ideas
Used by Government
New System To Be Used for
Students Embodying Practical
Newspaper Experience
W. B. Dillard, clerk of Lane
county, talked to the 11 o'clock
section reporting class this morn
ing and will talk to the 8 o'clock
section a week from Thursday.
He will describe the county gov
ernment and court system, which
the classes are studying in connec
tion with news sources.
R. S. Bryson, city recorder,
spoke to the classes on city gov
ernment last week. Other towns
people will come before the
classes, at various times during
the year, to outline the possibili
ties of particular news sources.
The intensive coverage plan, as
worked out last year, will be put
into effect November 1. Report
ers will be assigned beats to in
clude the entire city of Eugene.
Classes will be divided into four
practice newspapers.
Both members and professors
of the reporting classes last year
consider the new system far
superior to the one used formerly,
when regular assignments were
given out at each class period. By
the new system, one afternoon
each week is spent by the student
in gathering news and writing it
up.

The Golden Rule
1015 AY. Willamette
Prof. Hurls Issue
At Non-Daters of
San Diego College
SAN DIEGO. Calif., Oct. 10.—
Mixed emotions rocked the student
body of San Diego State college
this week as it tried to decide just
how to take the challenge fung at
non-daters by Professor Harry C.
Steinmetz of the psychology de
partment.
The challenge, which minced no
words, appeared in the form of an
editorial in The Aztec, student
weekly, and called upon members
of both sexes, who are inclined to
be timid about seeking companion
ship, to “get into the running.”
And Professor Steinmetz offered
a definite plan—a kind of /automat
ic dating bureau:
“For heaven’s sake (said he) ;
and your own. make yourself at
tractive to the opposite sex. do a.
little flirting and get a date.
“You know if this editorial fits
you. ‘If you haven’t a date this
week, forget your silly pride; fold
this paper so the title of this edi
torial (‘Does This Fit You?’)
shows, and walk around with it;
flap it about carelessly in class to
day and tomorrow; interpret it j
where you see it as a "welcome to
become acquainted.’’
Earlier in the editorial, he de- i
dared:
“Worse than being head over
heels in love in college is being in
diifferent or socially starved
through lack of contact with the
opposite sex. Insofar as biological
! and eugenic ends are concerned,
the average fraternity and soror
: ity, especially the hitualistic sort,
as as a substitute for natural ad- 1
I justment, is a subversive and frus- ;
trating institution.”

Stromberg To Be
Secretary of 1’
For Coming Year
The University Y. M. C. A. has
begun a new venture in leadership.
With the appointment of Eugene
T. Stromberg, graduate student, as
secretary for the coming year, the
“hut” and its activities are now in
charge of a man young enough to
be on common footing with under
graduates, and experienced enough
to be a capable leader.
Strombegg. who graduated in
1931 from Nebraska Wesleyan at
Lincoln, included the presidency
of the college YMCA cabinet
among the activities of a distin
guished undergraduate career.
Last year he was on the staff of
the Omaha city YMCA.
Stromberg is sympathetic with
the difficulties of college journal
ists. For two years he was editor
of the weekly “Wesleyan” at. his
college. He was a member of Blue
Key, senior men's honorary corre
sponding to the Oregon Friars.
His honoraries include Phi Kappa
Phi, national scholastic, and Phi
Gamma Mu, national social sci
ence.
BAREFOOTED LASSIES
HOLD LURE FOR MULLINS
(Continued from Pane One)
ions were split up, “Kayo" being
the only one that was able to leave
town, due to the efforts of the po
lice to keep anyone from going
eastward.
Mullins, however, continued on
toward Kentucky, passing through
Kansas City, St. Louis and Louis
ville, finally arriving at his home
town, Jenkins, Kentucky, in ten
and one-half days traveling time.
Kayo 'lows he feels right at
home there; for there are about
2000 Mullinses in the one county
surrounding Jenkins and every
other man he spoke to was a rela
tive. His mother and youngest
brother are at present living in a
log cabin over 100 years old.
He claims that conditions are
considerably different from Ore
gon. There four-fifths of the wo
men are bare-footed and every oth
er mountain man is a moonshiner.
“Corn” retails at 51.50 the quart.
The old feud spirit still remains
and with vengeance. On the day
“Kayo" left to return to Eugene
eight men were killed in one of
the traditional quarrels 20 miles
below his home. All the partici
pants in the quarrel were extin
guished. That particular district
averages one death a week from
this cause. Mullins says that most
of these feud killings occur at the
weekly church meetings. Most of
the men labor peacefully on their
farms or at their moonshining dur
ing the week, but they come to
church pretty well liquored up and
if they happen to see an old fam
ily enemy, a homicide is likely to
occur.
“Kayo,” whose real name is
Clarence E. Mullins, is one of nine
brothers in a family of 14 (the av
erage Mullins family, by the way,
is 16). He has made his own way
in the world from the age of 14,
visiting most of the states in the
Union under the pressure of the
wanderlust.

RH1X "King of Jazz," and
"Almost Married.”
“A Nous, La Liberte”
This picture is decidedly differ
ent from the usual run of Holly
wood productions, and must bo
viewed with different standards of
appreciation in mind if it is to be
enjoyed. Anyone expecting melo
drama. broad humor, or a brilliant
love story will be definitely disap
pointed.
The appeal of this film is in its
satire on industrial life, human so
ciety, modern love, and Charlie
Chaplin. Rene Clair uses slapstick
as the medium for conveying his
shafts at modern manners and cus
toms, and the action, therefore,
must be watched more carefully
if one is not to miss the subtle
commentaries of the author.
Scenery and photography can
not be criticized, and the massive
settings afford a greater relief
from tlie commonplace devices of
the Hollywood studios.
Two friends escape from prison.
Emile is recaptured while Louis
succeeds to the ownership of a
huge phonograph factory. Emile
at the end of his term follows a
pretty girl into a factory and to
his surprise he is set to work. Af
ter some trouble in the shop, he is
brought before the owner. It is
Louis. After the first surprise
they renew their friendship and
celebrate with a hilarious party.
The police soon learn that Louis
is an escaped convict, and the two
friends escape as beggars, broke
but happy.

“Hat Check Girl”
It has been said that a screen
player, in order to score a hit with
movie fans, must equal or excel
past performances. Sally Eilers
and Ben Lyon in “Hat Check Girl" |
arc more likeable than in any of !
their previous pictures.
Ben has developed from the con
scientious young man of former
days into a real comedian. His
stunts and gags keep the audience
in chuckles whenever he is shown.
Sally Ellers in earlier films has
appeared more or less as a young
girl whom men admire. Now we
see her tliterally) as a woman
whose fairy tales end with “the
King and Queen were not married,
but they lived happily ever after.”
The plot is trite, but that is un
important in a comedy-romance of
this sort. It is concerned with the
mix-up of a suburban girl in New
York's high society, the booze
racket, and of course, her employ
er. This is not a gang picture,
however. Most of the time is tak- i
en up with smart dialogue between
Ben Lyon, Sally Ellers, and Gin
ger Rogers.

Claire and Magruder
Publish New Law Test
Dr. Guy S. Claire, of the law
school, in conjunction with Dr.
Frank A. Magruder, of Oregon
State college, finished a book this
summer called the "Elements of
Constitutional Law.” The new text
has gone to the publisher and Dr.
Claire expects it to be published
in time to be used as a college
text next fall.
This book will emphasize things
in constitutional cases that are not
ordinarily printed in other hooks.
The work was divided into two
parts between the two professors.
Dr. Claire taking the legal aspect
and Dr. Magruder taking the po
litical side.
Committee Plans.
Textbook Change
The textbook committee, which
is responsible for the changes in
textbooks every two years, will
meet on November 25 to decfde
what books will be changed in the
coming year. From now until then
they will make a careful study of
all the new texts published in the
last two years. This committee,
which is a legal requirement of
the state of Oregon, also under
takes the duties of a course of
study commission to cater to the
growing needs of the various
courses.
The five members are Dr. Nel

E. H. Hedrick, superintendent of
schools at Medford; Mary L. Ful
