Fifty Oregon Fathers Terminate Eventful Week-End on Campus Students And Dads Discuss Relationship Doan On thank Encourages Extra Activities Personnel Division Exists To Help Organize and Guido Work Of Undergraduates Student problems, ideals and theories of education, and the re lationship of “dad” to the campus were topics of live interest at the two meetings of the executive committee of the Oregon Dads held during the week-end. An intimate glimpse of univer sity life was given the committee at its meeting Saturday morning by Karl W. Onthank, dean of per sonnel. The plan of the University for encouraging students to enter into extra-curricular activities to supplement their study programs was explained in detail. “The Uni versity believes that students should be guided and encouraged to set their own ideals and organ ize their own program,” he stated. t "For this purpose the personnel ' division exists. The organization aids in guidance, in personnel re search, development of the health service, in placement activities and in the coordination of academ ic work with extra-curricular ac * tivities.” Fine Arts Program Cited Dean Onthank also pointed out the value of President Hall’s pro gram of development of fine arts. The aim of this has been to de velop an appreciation for the bet ter thinigs of life in all students, rather than merely developing the talents, of artists. Pointing out the progress that the University has made, Burt Brown Barker, vice-president of the University, declared that one of the secretaries of a national as sociation of higher institutions stated recently that no American university had come forward fast er than Oregon, with but one ex ception. The University of Oregon is out standing for its theory of fine arts and that no institution has any thing surpassing it, Mr. Barker said. The fine arts program cov ers music, drama, sculpture, paint ing, and related work. A student may forget his science, his econ omies, his history and other aca demic subjects, but if he is trained in such a way that he develops an ability to see beauty, he has ob tained something which he never forgets and which is a joy to him throughout his life. Mr. Barker indicated that the eastern founda tions were taking an active inter est in the University of Oregoi because of its theory of educatioi and theory of fine arts. This the ory was started by Prince L Campbell, formerly president o the University of Oregon, and El lis F. Lawrence, dean of the schoo of architecture, but the idea wa: sold to the foundations by Presi dent Hall. Carnegie Grant Given A few years ago the Carnegit Foundation made Harvard univer sity a center of fine arts. Thi: proved so successful that threi years ago the board of director: of the foundation chose the dear of architecture of Cornell univer sity to head up the work and as sist in locating a second center After visiting a number of insti tutions in the United States it was reported to the board of directors that the second cener should bs located at the University of Ore gon. This was a great surprise tc the directors and to everyone else because they had not previousl> heard of the University of Oregor and had no knowledge of its theorj of fine arts education. Being con servative they appropriated onl> ,‘55000 to the University of Oregor for this work, but they made a study of the accomplishments oi the University of Oregon and Har vard university by means of a questionnaire to the students. As a result of this study the $15,000 available for this work was divid ed equally between Harvard and Oregon. In conclusion he empha sized that President Campbell and Dean Lawrence developed the idea but that President Hall was re sponsible for selling the idea to the eastern foundations. New Members Welcomed At the meeting Sunday, at which new members of the committee were welcomed, Dean Earl dis cussed at some length the automo bile regulation adopted by the state board. He pointed out that the regulation at first prohibited the use of automobiles by all stu dents attending the University. He indicated that the students driving cars represent a cross sec tion of the student body as a whole, and that they tend to dis tribute themselves insofar as need for cars is concerned according to the normal distribution curve. Five per cent of the students need cars badly, 20 per cent could use them to advantage, 50 per cent could possibly get along without them, 20 per cent do not need them, and five per cent would be far better off without them. The 1936 class at Rutgers uni versity is the healthiest class entered there in many years, ac cording to the college authori ties. yJruiM by MAIDEN FO KM Entirely strapless and backless, this double-net bras siere was created especially for low-cut evening gowns.

For thi: Dad’s day page, he was assistei by Peggy Chessman, George Cal las, and Bernard Clark. A. W. Norblad. of Astoria, for mer governor, and what is mori important — former president o the Oregon Dads, found himsel: back in the "freshman” class thi: year. His son, Walter, graduatec last year, but a daughter, Eleanor came down this fall as a first-yeai | student. * * * Another “first-year man” wa: Merle Chessman, of Astoria, who however, made the executive com mittee. He is publisher of the Astorian-Budget and a graduate of the University. Burt Brown Barl*er, vice-presi dent of the University, who now draws the princely salary of H and one-third cents a month, was much in evidence, although he is i now an “alum” dad. He spent part of his time in his official capacity, giving “fatherly" advice j to the "dads.” * * * i The banquet- this year was just that in every sense of the word, Real fried chicken, real pieces, too, l pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes, and numerous other viands were served piping hot, with no w’aits, no delays, and a minimiim of noise. Mrs. Genevieve Turnipseed, dormitory director, promised a ! good old-fashioned “feed” and she | made good her promise! One of the unsung heroes of the I day was Paul R. Washke, of the physical education staff. To him fell the task of arranging all the hundreds of chairs in the dining room—and wonder of wonders— the loud speaker w’orked this time! Emerald Of the Air The regular 12:15 broadcast of news will be followed in the eve ning at 7:15 by .the weekly Emer ald-of-the-Air dramatic program, under the direction of Mike Ho gan.

FOOTBALL PLAYERS ROBBED DURING GAME (Continued from Page One) fort would be made to round up the culprits and put a stop to fur ther depredations of this sort. This is the first time in recent years that any such violent trans gression of the students’ property ha^ taken place. Dads Express Deep Interest In Fate of School Grab Bill By PEGGY CHESSMAN That the Oregon dads can think I of little else than the Zorn-Mac Pherson school-grabbing bill was clearly expressed this week-end when the fathers of University students gathered at the various meeting places and houses for in formal discussions. From each father questioned about the regular school routine and campus life was received an evasive or very indefinite answer which immediately followed up with some long and enthusiastic discussion about the bill. Whether a graduate of the Uni versity of Oregon or not, every one of them was as loyal a rooter for the school and its prosperity as any one of the workers on the campus. It was at Saturday luncheon that I first attempted to get the dads' reactions to the phases of college life they had seen thus far. “Well,” I asked, “what do you think of the life your sons and daughters lead here at the Uni versity?” Naturally, there was a short pause, for none of them could say very much against it while I wa? in their midst. Then, quite in unison, they expressed their satis faction ofa 11 they had been shown. However, before I could even think of my next question, one of the dads started I can't remem ber how, it all happened so sud denly - stating his views on the consolidation. Never before have I seen such a discussion as that one which followed. Each one of the men had some facts or statis tics to contriute to the others about the action in his town or county. Even when some of the dads were taken to the Campa Shoppe Saturday evening, the Zorn-Mac Pherson bill was the one note; even Abbie Green's orchestra could not distract from their minds. "The bill must not pass" was their password at every affair, and was not forgotten one minute during the celebration. Movie Notes C O L O N I A L—“Bachelor Af- 1 fairs.” REX—“Mata Hari.” McDONAL D—“The Blonde Captive.” Colonial Adolphe Menjou is the debonair hero of this sophisticated comedy —and if anyone thinks the bache lor’s life is all roses, a dime well spent will convince him of his error. There are more complica tions to the minute here than in the disarmament conference, and much more beauty — Minna Gom bel, Joan Marsh, Irene Purcell, and Don Alvarado contributing the pulchritude. Beauty to the contrary notwith standing, urbane Mr. Menjou is the Dime Night’s main concern, and ours. His performance is as always, sure, easy and competent, although we might own a little prejudice, since it’s been long since he has disappointed us. And for the attention of Promenaders: Miss Gombell and Miss Marsh be tween them display more than thirty of the latest fashion crea tions—and you can ask Svengali if they’re competent. McDonald Lowell Thomas, well - known enough to frequenters of local movie palaces through his mac Namee accompaniments of,travel pictures, dialogues the audience 10,000 miles to find a blonde cap tive among the aborigines tonight, the occasion “The Blonde Cap tive,” at the McDonald for a two day run. It is promised that the cast of this picture is composed of the oldest living race of men, something akin to Neanderthal. At any rate, the picture should provide genuine entertainment value. Thomas’ dialogue is al ways interesting and alive, and for that matter, how about the blonde captive’s negligee? Well, anyway the acme of travel pic tures, we’re told, with a thrill more perhaps. Y Group Studies Trade Problems “How Eugene merchandise is put out’’ is the subject which the industrial group of Y. W. is now investigating under the leadership of Gwen Elsemore. This topic will serve as a basis of discussion for the rest of the term. Study of conditions of manufac turing in Eugene will involve a study of the material put out, vis its to the local wholesale houses, and the compilation of a local list. Under Miss Elsemore’s direction the group has enlarged and im proved its project to include sev eral sub-committees. These will r~ ■ be announced next week. Tea is served at every meeting, and any one interested in industrial prob lems of the times is welcomed. YWCA Cabinet Holds Lively Hallowe’en Party A Hallowe’en party was given from 8 to 9 last night by the Y. W. C. A. cabinet for members of the A. W. S. and W. A. A. councils at the “Y” bungalow. Frances Rothwell, Betty Gear hart, and Josephine Waffle made up the committee for the affair. Real Hallowe’en spirit pre vailed with spooks and ghosts to lend atmosphere. Songs were sung by the fireside. Delicious donuts topped off the evening. “Eugene’s Owti Store’’ McMorran & Washburne MERCHANDISE OF MERIT ONLY --PHONE 2700 - New Wash Blouses Came Today and Are Only $]_.25 Styles selected by our college style advisers styles you'll want to wear with sweaters or jumper frocks white eggshell or colors and every one brand new SECOND FLOOR THOSE Novel Dance Programs You've seen have been printed by us.

W. Norblad trophy for the largest proportion of dads over the Dad's week-end. Last year it was tied for third place with Alpha Phi, hut this year traded places with Sigma Kappa, winner last year. The Chi Psi lodge had a percen tage of 54.5 per cent, or 18 out of a possible 33 dads. Kappa Alpha Theta, a close second, was awarded the Paul T. Shaw prize with percentage of 50.0, or 17 dads of possible 34. Last year the second prize was won by Phi Mu. Sigma Kappa was third with 46.7 per cent, or 7 out of 15 dads. The O. Laurgaard trophy, given for the first time for the largest proportion of "Freshman Dads," was won by Kappa Kappa Gamma with a percentage of 70.0, or 7 dads out of possible 10. Zeta Tau Alpha was second with 66.7 per cent, 2 dads of possible 3. Third place went to Phi Kappa Psi with 55.6 per cent, or 5 of possible 9 dads. Employment Secretary Summarizes Activities University students are finding many varieties of work to assist them in meeting their expenses, Miss Katherine Kneeland, employ ment secretary, revealed yester day. Students seek part-time work doing such things as: radio repair ing, waxing floors, cleaning rugs and windows, putting in wood or other fuel, splitting wood, stack ing wood, carpentering, painting, roofing, housework, tutoring, cleaning autos, waiting tables, washing dishes, tending furnaces, gardening, mowing lawns, running errands, taking care of children, planning meals, plain and fancy cooking. A science, laboratory employs a student for washing dishes and cleaning other laboratory materi als. Miss Kneeland received a call for a trained barber, at another time one for a trained carpenter, and again for a student to clean a chimney. One of the most unusual calls received came during a storm, when a lady telephoned for a stu dent to cover her chrysanthemums for the night. Jobs for room, board, and odd jobs such as putting in wood and doing housework led in the num ber of students employed. This is the first year that employment facilities for men and women have been combined. f Visiting Dads Told Of School Life Saturday Deans Schwering, Ontliauk Explain Activities Thompson Retains Presidency for Second Year; Tongue New Vice-President By GEORGE CALLAS “Oregon Dads" were enlightened on social and other activities of students at the mass meeting held at Johnson hall Saturday morning, and they learned of these phases of University life first hand from Mrs. Hazel P. Schwering, dean of women, and Karl W. Onthank, dean of personnel administration. Dean Schwering explained that by making it necessary for every girl to have some outside activity other than the regular class work a special interest is aroused in each individual. In answer to a father's inquiry concerning the regulation of the students' pleas ure-seeking activities, Dean Schwering stated that the amount of activity allotted to each girl limits the time left for herself. Dean Onthank spiked any and all possible rumors of habitually irregular conduct of men students of the school. He explained the work of the dean of men's office in connection with the men of the school and also the significance of the student leaders’ organiza tion. Carlton E. Spencer, chair man of the committee for automo bile enforcement, stated that the use of cars has been modified con siderably even after the ban was removed. New officers were elected at the meeting as follows; Thomas 'H. Tongue, Jr., of Hillsboro, vice president; Earle Wellington, Am erican Bank building, Portland, secretary; Earl M. Pallett, Uni versity of Oregon, executive-secre tary. Members of the executive committee are Palmer L. Fales, Platt building, Portland; Charles C. Hall, 114 V2 Grand avenue, Port land; Merle R. Chessman, Astoria Budget, Astoria; Arthur C. Fields, 41 Grand avenue North, Portland; Edgar W. Smith, 690 East 20th street, Portland; Carl Haberlach, Tillamook; Roy T. Bishop, 542 East 15th street North, Portland; R. S. Hamilton, American Bank building, Portland; and Kenneth Beebe, 783 Talbot road, Portland. Since the president is elected for a period of two years, W. Lair Thompson will remain in the presidency for the coming year. A.W.S. Sponsors AnnuarMum’Sale For O.S.C.
