UNIVERSITY OR OREGON
Eugene, Nov. 7.—The first round
the world cruise of the American
Floating university will start from
New York City February 4, 1933
and will call at Los Angeles Feb
ruary 14, it is announced here by
University of Oregon members of
the permanent staff of the organ
ization. The Rotterdam Lloyd
Royal Mai! line vessel S. S. Slamat,
of 17,825 tons, has been obtained
for the voyage and will carry the
faculty and student body for seven
months.
The floating university has on
its permanent staff four members
from the University of Oregon,
but since the first cruise starts in
the middle of the school year it is
doubtful if any faculty members
from here will make the trip.
Those on the staff are Dr. John
J. Landsbury, head of music; Dr.
Warren D. Smith, professor of
geography; Dr. Ray P. Bowen, pro
fessor of Romance languages, and
George H. Godfrey, associate in
informational service. The staff
consists of faculty members from
institutions all over the United
States and each cruise staff will
be made up of those who are able
to take a year or more off from
their regular duties.
New Liner Selected
The ship selected for the cruise
is one of the newer twin-screw
turbines and is one of the finest
in service today. It has all state
rooms outside, with most of them
equipped with regular beds and is
ideal for cruising in any climate
and tinder all conditions.
The tour will start from New
York and go westward. Important
cities to be visited include Hono
lulu, Yokohama, Tokyo, Peiping,
Hong Kong, Manila, Singapore,
Bangkok, Bombay,' Port Said, Ath
ens, Naples, Genoa, Algiers, Sev
ille, London, Antwerp, Paris, and
others in Europe. A special tour
will be made in Europe, after
which the students will return to
New York August 21.
$1500 for Seven Months
Regular courses of study will be
offered on the ship and credit for
these will be granted by leading
universities and colleges. The
American Floating university as
sociation is made up of leading ed
ucators of the United States, and
the venture has the approval of
many prominent people and or
ganizations.
Information on the cruise may
be obtained from any of the staff
members at the University, or
from the association in New York.
Rates for the seven months will
be as low as $1500 for first class
accommodations, it is announced.
After-Dinner Speakers
To Compete Thursday
Thursday, November 10, will see
ticipants in the University
after - dinner speaking contest
gathered at Lee Duke’s for their
final competition. S. Stephenson
Smith will act as toastmaster at
the banquet.
While the addition of several
new names to the list of contes
tants has made it necessary for
the public speaking department to
stage a preliminary meet on
Wednesday, more students are
asked to take part to make the
competition keener.
The students already signed up
are Orval Thompson, Bud Johns,
Merle Nash, Geraldine Hickson.
William Barney, Winfield Atkin
son, Helen Harriman, and Thomas |

pen every four year, the Two Dec
ades Ago editor realized last night
as she went through the November
5, 1912, issue of the Emerald. And
20 years ago the issues were in
teresting enough to give Kappa
Alpha Theta the idea for a dance
that made the front page.
“Kappa Alpha Theta enter
tained Saturday evening with an
unique political campaign dance.
The living room was an Equal
Suffrage headquarters and elabor
ately decorated with “Votes for
Women” plaques and posters. The
hall was Bull Moose quarters,
while a cozy-corner in the rear
hall drew the Debs followers. In
the dining room was a frieze of
Wilson pictures, and hung on the
curtains were posters and cam
paign slogans. The programs were
miniature ballots, upon which the
guests voted for or against the
Debs Slip, Suffrage Struggle, Ted
dy Bear Grip, Wilson Wiggle.”

Speech in Series

of his youth in Antioch, described
j the science of medicine as prac
ticed in this generation, and re
lated what actually happened
when he went for a visit to Pales
tine, and was walking one day
with his uncle on the road to Em
maus.
Students at Infirmary
Hear Game Over Radio
The appeal from the infirm
ary for a radio so the patients
could listen to the Homecom
| ing game brought innumerable
j responses. So many people
! called and offered their radios
| for the game that the nurses
spent most of the morning an
swering telephone calls.
Various business men down
town inquired as to whether or
not a radio had been obtained
and offered to get one if
needed.
Robert Gantenbein and Ken
neth West, for whom the radio
was asked, listened in, and had
almost as much fun as the more
fortunate students who saw it
from the 00-yard line.
Women’s P. E. Society
\ To Frolic at Fun Affair
“How well are your muscles
coordinated?” Doris Payne is
asking of all members of the
women's P. E. club. Ample op

Pacific Registrars Plan
Meet in Los Angeles
Tho Pacific Coast Association of
Registrar will hold its annual
meeting in Los Angeles, Novem
ber 14 and 15, according to infor
mation received here by Earl M.
Pallett, executive secretary and
registrar of the University of
Oregon. Reorganization of higher
education as recommended by the
Carnegie reports, public control of
universities and colleges, admis
sion requirements, accreditation
and problems of personnel guid
ance will be among the topics dis
cussed.
Because of the distance and
pressure of work here it is not
likely that Mr. Pallett will attend
the session, he states.
Meteor Society Names
Pruett Regional Head
J. Hugh Pruett of the University
of Oregon extension division has
been named regional manager of
the American Meteor society for
work in Oregon and Washington.
Mr. Pruett announces that the
annual visit of the Leonid meteors
is due around the middle of No
vember. As they often come in un
usual abundance at intervals of 33
or 34 years, it is hoped that real
“showers,” such as were seen in
1888, 1333, and 1865, will come.
Work of observation on this spec
tacle is being organized by the
American Meteor society.
Mr. Pruett is instructor in phy
■ if'-- and astronomy at the Univer
sity.
Dr. DeBusk’s
New Course
Big Success
[ Silliness, Lack of I ill err* l
Not (]an*e of Failure
Students Inability To Comprehend
Meaning of Words Is Main
Difficulty in Study
Believing that failure of many
University students is due not to
“dumbness” nor lack of interest
or application, but because the
student simply has never learned
j the fundamentals of study, the
University of Oregon this fall is
gming a course entitled “methods
of study.”
Tire course has been so success
ful and the students taking it so
enthusiastic that the instructor,
Dr. B. W. DeBusk, professor of
education, is now hard at work
perfecting it so more students
may take advantage of it.
Dr. DeBusk found early in the
course that the students fell nat
urally into two groups, those who
had difficulty in comprehending
words and those who had difficulty
with sentences of paragraphs. Of
ten a student who couldn’t spell
could sense the meaning easily of
a paragraph. In other cases stu
dents could visualize and spell
words, but could get little sense
from an entire paragraph.
Word Difficulty Cited
Basing his technique on correc
tion of these two major faults, he
paired the students accordingly.
Those who have difficulty with
words but can comprehend para
graphs were teamed with those
who could spell but could not han
dle entire paragraphs. In this
way, each student helps the other.
ai me Beginning- of the term,
all students were given the Iowa I
comprehension test in reading- so
cial science, literature, and physi
cal science. Their high school rec
ords and mental tests were care
fully studied so that faults could
be carefully analyzed. The class
of ’31 seemed large to Dr. DeBusk
at the start, but by his pairing
method, and by calling on his psy
cho-educational clinic class of 10,
every student has been given at
tention.
“In football and other sports,
the first thing a coach does is to
drill his men in fundamentals. Be
fore they get into a game or into
practice simulating a game, they
are taught the technique of play
ing. Football men learn to block
and tackle, to kick, and to carry
the ball. This class is accomplish
ing the same thing. It prepares
the students for the work they
must do in other courses, in which
methods of study are the tools em
ployed.”
Improvement Is Noted
Although the clftss has been in
session only a few weeks, remark
able improvement has already been
shown by several students. One
boy who entered the class had
earned but two college credits pre
viously one in military training
and one in physical education. It
was found that he simply failed
to visualize and comprehend what
he read. After a few weeks of
work, he not only could recall con
tent of paragraphs, but of entire
pages, and now is making normal
progress in his studies.
Often students do not realize
their faults, and their feeling of
inferiority heightens their difficul
ty. Once their trouble is analyzed,
and remedial work begun, they re
gain confidence and in a short
Lime are making great progress.
Class Is Laboratory
The study course is also of aid
to Dr. DeBusk's clinic class. These
students are working on prob
lems of teaching, and the class
serves as an excellent laboratory.
The class, which lasts one term,
carries three hours of credit, so
that, those taking it may ‘'earn
A'hiie they learn to learn.” Some
if those •moiled are making nor
-nal progress, but have slight dif
ficulty and as these are being cor
rected, find Lhey are enabled to
-nake higher grades and get more
3ut of their other courses. The
lourse, while primarily planned for
freshmen, is open to anyone in
:he University.
Phi Delta Kappa Meets
Phi Delta Kappa, educational
jonorary for men in tlie education
il school met yesterday at the
lireen Lantern for luncheon. The
purpose of the meeting was to
:erm a social program and discuss
hp selection of new members. An
nitiation banquet will be held later
in the term. Mr. Cutler of the
physical education school presided.
Lost and Found Depot
Holding Many Articles
The lost and found depart
ment in the University depot is
almost overflowing with gloves
of all kinds and descriptions,
i Women’s gloves, men’s gloves,
and possibly a few pairs of chil
dren's gloves are included in the
lot.
Pens, pencils, and a necklace
are also to be found among the
spoils. One coat has come in
within the last few days, and
, several books are on hand.
If students who have lost any
of these things are unable to
call at the depot in order to
identify the lost articles will
call the depot and give an ade
quate description, they will be
held until called for.

they decided to try that profes

and continued it for some time.
Reedy would play his harmonica,
and attract the attention of the
crowds; then his colleague would
mount his soap box and begin the
speech. According to “Wally”
Campbell, they learned more about
speaking during that experience
than during all four years of col

Mr. Campbell says thac if he

He has had some experience with

Twilight Concert
Proves Popular
To Many People
By MARGARET STAUFF
One of the most popular pro
grams of the year was presented
at the twilight hour concert Sun
day afternoon by John Stark
Evans, organist. Several hundred
persons filled the auditorium and
foyer, evidence of the interest
among townspeople and students,
which has grown consistently
since the beginning of the term.
As his opening number, Mr.
Evans selected the first movement
of "The Unfinished Symphony”
by Schubert, the familiar theme
of which found a quick response
in the audience. Very effective
contrast was offered in the "Fire
side Fancies” by Clokey, which
followed in much lighter vein.
Vividly descriptive in character,
they formed a group arranged In
clever contrast within itself, and
Mr. Evans played them with
whimsical humour and grace.
Outstanding in this suite were
“The W i" the Chimney” in
which unusual intervals, moving
in parallel motion, make a very
realistic impression of the wail
ing wind; “The Cat," a fully sus
tained sketch; and “The Kettle
Boils,” which is the final number
of the group and most emphatic
in character. A splendid climax
is worked up, descriptive of the
growing vigor of the boiling ket
tle, the accent skillfully developed
by the use of the expression swell3
on the organ.
Mr. Evans’ interpretation is al
ways so sincere that his audience
is rarely conscious of the techni
cal difficulties of the numbers, but
“Piece Heroique” by Cesar Franck
was clearly outstanding on the
program for its energy and
strength, and exacts great coordi
nation of the organist. Its pres
entation was uniformly fine, and
mighty chords made the finale
very inspiring.
Next week’s program will be
appropriate to Armistice day.
