Movie Notes COLONIAL — “Murders in the Rue Morgue,” “Freaks.” MCDONALD — “Red Dust.” REX — “Blondie of the Fol lies.” McDonald That master worker of the sen lual appeal, Jean Harlow, is with is again, this time back to her nore natural and sensational plat num hue, in a part made to or ier for her. The cut-up — she lathes in the drinking water, launts her non-parallel accessor es in the so-masculine face of Hark Gable, and very nearly i vrecks Mary Astor’s life. And •lays the hoyden with the utmost laturalness. “Red Dust” is set in the tropics, md all the languorous passion of he warm clime is said to be in it. n fact, says my advance sheet, ‘He fought the loneliness, fever, and blinding dust storms, but he couldn’t resist the soft arms of a woman. See this picture of tropi cal passion and a jungle man whose word was law!” You can take that or leave it, but who’s a better jungle man than he-man Gable ? Colonial At the Colonial they’re still thrilling them tonight with their double bill. ‘‘Murders in the Rue Morgue” employs all the needful attenda — the beautiful helpless girl, the gorilla (real, not Bela Lugosi), the menace, the fiendish laboratory, the everything of the perfect shocker, I’m told. And as for “Freaks”—it’s a picture hard to forget. This tale of the con torted lives of the circus contains some of the most harrowing scenes I have ever seen- and what the picture might lack in eventual meaning it certainly makes up in present horror. It’ll hant yu’. _ I wish to subscribe to the OREGON DAILY EMERALD for the current school year, ending June, 1933. Name . Street . City..... State. * » * • „. •••■..

I ( i University Given One Day Vacation For Thanksgiving School Behind in Schedule Because of Holiday Oil Wednesday With but one day allowed for Thanksgiving vacation this year, students of Oregon and Oregon State find themselves for the first • time under the same ruling gov ; eming this holiday, it was stated j last night by Earl M. Pallctt, reg istrar. ' ’Dismissal of classes over the en tire week-end. while done at Ore i gon for a number of years, has | never been allowed to students at Oregon State. The normal schools and the medical school in Port land will not follow the same schedule due to difference in the class schedules, since they take only one or two days in completing registration procedure. University schedules are already i behind due to the holiday granted | last Wednesday following election. One of the principal reasons for I the elimination of the week-end holiday is the unfairness it im poses on students living out of state, and who cannot go home ’for Thanksgiving even with a three-day vacation. Students from Portland can easily leave Wednes day afternoon and spend Wednes day night and most of Thursday at home, returning Thursday night even without the extension. Former Students | Now Employed at Various Schools Several Graduates in Iowa W orking for Higher Degrees Mr. and Mrs. Ivan McCollom, and Mr. and Mrs. Donald Swanson, all former Oregon students, are now employed in the department of psychology at the University of Iowa, according to information re ceived here by Dr. Robert H.

Robin son, also a graduate of the Uni versity of Oregon. Dr. Seashore revealed that Mr. McCollom has but recently re ceived the Eastman fellowship for his experimental studies in the psychology of music. Mrs. Swan son is doing secretarial work at j the Iowa institution, it is report ed. Mr. Earl Pemberton, who earned his M. A. at Oregon, informs Dr. Seashore in a communication re ceived yesterday that he has ob- j tained an assistantship at the I University of Southern California and is working for his Ph.D. Statue Becomes Football Shrine UNION SPRINGS, Ala., Nov. 16.— (AP)- The Confederate sol dier’s monument in the public square here became a shrine foe football fans this fall.

The board is putting the plan into operation for the first time this semester.) ^ ALEM, Nov. 7.— (Special) — ^ Details of the organization of the new school of social sciences which will offer work in seven major lines in this field in the Oregon State System of Higher Education were announced recent ly by the state board of higher education. The new school has been formed from social science departments and courses of the old college of literature, science and the arts and the school of applied social science at the University of Ore gon and duplicating departments in the schools of commerce, voca tional education and basic arts and sciences at Oregon State col lege. Dr. James H. Gilbert, for mer dean of the college of litera ture, science and the arts and a member of the University faculty for 25 years, will be the new dean of the school of social science with headquarters at Eugene. Dean Gilbert was graduated from the University of Oregon in 1903 and received his doctor's degree at Columbia university in 1907. * * * \ Major work leading to bachelor, master and doctor degrees in the fields of economics, geography, history, philosophy, political sci ence, psychology and sociology will be given at the University under the consolidation program of the board. Lower division work during the first two years, giving students a thorough background for spe cialization in any of the major curricula in social sciences, will be offered at both Corvallis and Eu gene. In addition, service courses for students in the technical and scientific schools at the college will be given at Corvallis. While all specialization in the school will be concentrated on the Eu gene campus, students not only will be given opportunity for a thorough background on either campus, the board points out, but will also have available supple mentary courses in other schools. * * * A saving for the coming year of approximately 13 per cent over the present system has been ef fected by the changes aside from the salary reductions. The sav ings are made possible partly through elimination of faculty members owing to consolidation of departments and courses, and partly by larger classes and in creased teaching loads. In reducing the personnel from 56 staff members at both insti tutions to 41, including all profes sors, associate and assistant pro fessors, instructors and graduate assistants, the ablest men have in Jvery instance been retained. All out two faculty members holding he rank of assistant professor or ibove hold doctor of philosophy iegrees, the highest academic title ivailable for educators. * * * Under the new arrangement for his school, it was not necessary .o make shifts from one campus o the other. Members of the tchool’s faculty at Eugene follow: Economics Dr. James H. Gil >ert, Dr. Donald M. Erb and Dr. /ictor P. Morris, all professors; Dr. Louis A. Wood and Dr. Calvin ^rumbaker, associate professors. Deography- Dr. Warren D.

Health Week Now Being Sponsored By WAA Students [ “If the A. S. U. O. awarded the O to every student who had 'ath lete’s foot,' the Order of the O would certainly increase its mem bership,” is the opening sentence of an article by Dr. Fred Miller, written ii\ conjunction with Health Week, now being sponsored by the Women’s Athletic association. The article describes the effect on the body of this fungus growth which is acquired when walking barefoot in the gymnasium or liv ing organization. The growth may manifest itself in blisters or cracking, may be damp or dry and may, or may not, itch, accord ing to the individual. Because of these personal dif ferences, Dr. Miller declares no one remedy may be recommended. Spread of infection, the article reads, may be checked, however, by sprinkling floors with chloride of lime. “Individuals can do much,” Dr. Miller further stated, “by refusing to borrow or lend clothes, and by not running around barc-footed.” Clatsop County Elects Orepron Law Graduate Willis West, former Oregon law student, was elected by a two-lo one lead district attorney of Clat sop county on the Democratic ticket, defeating Frank P. Leinen weber, Republican candidate, who had held the position for the last two terms. According to the Astorian Eve ning Budget, West took the dis trict attorney’s office in one of the biggest of local upsets In many years. He graduated from the law school last winter term with high scholastic standing, having passed the bar in 1930, before receiving his diploma. Lytton Report Added To Library Collection The Lytton report on the Man churian situation has recently been added to the League of Na tion collection in room 32 on the third floor of the main library, Pauline Walton, who is in charge of the League of Nations collec tion, made known. Also the large maps which help to explain the re port may be found there. Other books recently received are: “A World Economic Survey,” “The Course and Phases of the World Economic Depression,” and “Unemployment.” It haunted clerks for generations “ The first of the month” used to be a time of feverish activity for ledger clerks. But the Bell System accounting staff — breaking away from tradition — simplified the keeping of accounts and rendering of monthly statements to customers. They applied a| modern system of rotation bill ing to the telephone business which now spreads this work evenly throughout the month. In co operation with manufacturers, they devised special typewriters and bookkeeping machines. Thus they did away with inefficient rush and achieved greater accuracy, speed and neatness. This is but one example of a point of view found throughout the Bell System. Even long accepted routine is constantly studied —it’s always worth looking for the more efficient way!
