Commission Will Propose New Policies Proposals for Sentences in Crime Cases Given Outlawing of Cross-Examination Without Defense Attorney To Be Considered At the Crime commission meet ing, which Wayne L. Morse at tended last Friday, reports were made by the chairmen, including recommendations to be submitted to the legislature. The commission decided to list the various recom mendations on a ballot and submit them to the individual members of the commission to be voted up on. Approved recommendations will be put in bill form and sub mitted to the legislature. The committee on the Reform of Criminal Procedure, of which Dean Morse is chairman, reported that it had adopted the policy of recommending a few major re forms in criminal procedure rather than favoring a policy whereby an attempt would be made to make many changes. The com mittee's report contains the fol lowing recommendations: First, that the Crime commission ap prove the principle of the pro posal that Article I, Section 11, of the Constitution of the State of Oregon be amended so as to pro vide for a conviction in criminal cases, except in capitol ofenses, if 10 or 12 jurors vote for the con viction. The second recommendation of the committee proposes that Ar ticle 7, Section 18, of the Oregon Constitution should be amended by providing that all offenses heretofore required to be prose cuted by indictment may be prose cuted by indictment or informa tion. • The third recommendation" pro poses that a law should be passed permitting the state the same number of peremptory challenges in selecting the jury in criminal cases as is allowed the defense. The fourth recommendation pro poses a law whereby prosecutors should be allowed to comment without prejudice on the fact that the accused has not taken the stand in his own defense. The last recommendation pro poses that the commission con sider the principle of the law whereby confessions should be de clared inadmissable in evidence and a law whereby persons ar rested shall not be cross-examined by police or prosecutors except in the presence of a defense attorney. Commenting upon this recommen dation, Dean Morse stated that he is not prepared at this time to commit himself upon the efficacy of such a proposal. Such laws do not exist anywhere in the United States and are being proposed by those who seek to curtail third degree methods. In many in stances arrested persons are cross examined in police stations and in prosecutors’ offices and do not en joy the advice and protection of counsel. It is as important that we protect those accused of crime in the stage of criminal procedure jjrior to trial as it is to protect them in the. actual trial of the case, by a presumption of inno cence. Another recommendation, sub mitted by the committee on pro bation and parole, was that each county in the state provide for an SPECIAL THANKSGIVING DINNER Turkey with Dressing Cranberry Sauce Mashed Potatoes Vegetable Hot Rolls 35c Hot Turkey Sandwich Mashed Potatoes Cranberry Sauce 20c Campus Cafe 1249 Alder St. Phone 578-W Change Is Made In ’B’ Schedule Of Donut League All “B” league basketball games scheduled for December 8 will be played this Friday af ternoon, it was announced by the intramural boards last night.

Music Students Present Varied Talent in Program By BETTY OHLEMILLER Five students, Janet Fitch, pian ist; Sally Reed, pianist; Betty Evanson, soprano; Maxine Hill, pianist; and John Spittle, tenor, were presented in joint recital at the music building last night. Miss Fitch played Schumann’s “Romanza” and Chopin’s “Mazur ka.” The first, stressing the base patterns, had a hint of tragic grace, while the latter was quick and light with the melody in the treble clef. Miss Evanson's three numbers were all in French. In the last of her group, “Charmante Oiseau” by David, the flight and songs of birds were represented. Maxine Hill, president of Tau Delta Delta, music honorary, played three modern piano num bers. The first, Guion’s “Lone some Whistler,” suggested some thing of the lone whistler's melan choly. Van Dyke’s "Surf,” with its runs speaking of the tide, and Liadow’s novelty number, “Music Box,” similar to the dainty melody of the old fashioned music boxes, concluded this group. Three numbers in andante tem po, Scarlatti’s “Sento nel core” in the original language, Handel's “Where e’er You Walk,” and Stan ford's “My Love’s an Arbutus,” were sung by John Spittle. The last number was a short romantic love song. Sally Reed, whose group con cluded the recital, played two bril liant numbers, “Nocturne in C sharp minor” by Chopin and “Novellette in F major” by Schu mann. officer who will be in charge of the task of advising the judges in regard to sociological data con cerning the defendant which the judge should know before sentence is passed. In case of probation this official would be charged With the duty of administering probation requirements set by the judge. The recommendation is not meant to create a new office, but it is believed that the county pro bation officer could perform other functions as well as do the proba tion work. The committee on penal reform made recommendations for the establishment of a reformatory farm and an institute for youth ful offenders between the ages of 16 and 30 years, as well as the introduction of an educational pro gram in penal institutions. No excessive cost would be made be cause the state has land near Salem, and the present prison farm could be remodeled into a suitable reformatory. Questionnaire Results To Be Published Soon Answers to the student-faculty questionnaire distributed the past week to 100 campus leaders will be filed early next week. Tabu lated results will be made and published as rapidly as they are available. Members of Skull and Daggers and of Mortar Board have been collecting the information. The object of the questionnaire is to determine reasons for lack of close relationship betweeri faculty and students. \iooS7 READ \SAWl HOUSE MORS.

Debate Group Selects Slogan For.Introduction of New Plan .“A maximum amount of train ing to a maximum amount of men in sound analysis, accurate brief ing, research, arid public utter ance” is to be the slogan for the men’s forensic department when it initiates a plan whereby com plete revision of the programs and schedules in varsity debating will take place, according to W. A. Dahlberg, director of men’s for ensics. In this revision of the plans of the department, there will come about a modification similar to those made at the Oregon .State college, Pacific college, and the University of Washington. This was made necessary by curtailed budgets and the growing demand for a realistic approach to debat ing with the hope of eliminating certain objectionable features which have existed for some time. Among these undesirable features was the critic judge for meets. This system will be omitted in the new plans, by which process "the members of the speech division hope to eliminate any temptation to submerge valid evidence of the opposing team. The proposed new plan will be consistent with others all through American colleges, and should promise good results, say the in vestigators on the local campus. Only very vital questions of lo cal or state interest will be used this year. The state teams will meet in various Oregon towns and there will discuss problems per taining immediately to that sec tion of the country. The question of the high protective tariff will be a prominent one this winter. Since only state problems will be I debated, there will be very little | traveling necessary, and conse quently the expenses incurred by the team will be negligible, and the questions lively. Some twenty men have turned out for squad work, and each one who works on the questions will have at least one opportunity to participate in the varsity debates which will begin toward the lat er part of February.

School of Journalism Gets Gifts From Villard A framed copy of the New York Evening Post of September 15, 1815, has been shipped from New York and will hang upon the walls of the department of journalism lecture room. A copy of the cen tennial issue of the Post, which is really a valuable document in jour nalistic history, reviewing the evo lution of the profession in Ameri ca for 100 years, is also on its way. These gifts came from Oswald Garrison Villard, president of the New York Evening Post, son of the great war correspondent, jour nalist, and empire builder who gave Villard hall to the University, grandson of William Lloyd Garri son, also a maker of history, and himself one of the most forceful journalists of his time.

A few casks were taken to the St. Louis Fair in 1867 and sold for 58c a pound. White Burley Tobacco is used to make Granger. It is the best pipe tobacco that grows. You will notice the dif ference as soon as you light up your pipe of Granger. It burns slower, smokes cooler and never gums a pipe. YOU CAN DEPEND ON A LIGGETT & MYERS PRODUCT -1 Sigma Xi By ANN REED BURNS (This is the first of a series of articles by Miss Bums on honor ary societies, local and national, which are represented on the Ore gon campus.) All you who spend your time in the art department or who are struggling with Latin conjugations —don’t read this. It is not for you. But all science students—Stop! Look! Listen! The greatest honor a student can attain in science is to be elect ed to Sigma Xi, national science honorary. This organization was founded in 1886 at Cornell univer sity, to encourage original investi gation and research. It was es tablished to give recognition to those who have done something original in the world of science, the same as Phi Beta Kappa gives recognition to those who have had outstanding scholarship in the lit erary world. In order to be elected to mem bership in Sigma Xi, a student must have done some productive work: found a new technique, made some discovery. He must have done some research which is ac ceptable for publication. Under graduates rarely become active members, for by the time a stu dent has been able to accomplish any satisfactory piece of research, he is as a rule a second or third year graduate. But, undergraduates, don't be come disheartened! There’s still a chance. For every year a number of associate members are chosen for Sigma Xi. Any • student who shows the capacity and the ability for research but who has not yet actually completed any work, may be elected as an associate. An important feature of Sigma Xi and this may be a surprise to many—grades are not of primary importance. They may play some part in the selection, but in them i selves they will never enable a stu dent to make Sigma Xi. Students majoring in ‘ physical science, natural science, or psy chology are eligible to member ship. A committee of the active members of the honorary looks through the records of students and selects about 25 of those who have shown the greatest capacity and promise. The present officers of Sigma Xi at the University are Prof. L. F. Henderson, curator of the her barium, president; Dr. Rosalind Wulzen, secretary; and Dr. F. L. Shinn, treasurer. The Eugene chapter of Sigma Xi was founded in 1923. It was for merly very large, electing to mem bership both Oregon State and University graduates, since there was no chapter at Corvallis. At present, however, due to the shift ing of sciences to Oregon State, the size of the organization has been extremely diminished, only 14 active members remaining here. Whether the chapter will be trans ferred to Corvallis or what else may be done is as yet unknown. But, whether the organization remains here or not, there will al ways be somewhere a chapter of Sigma Xi to which the lovers of science can aspire. And, while it doesn't follow that you'll be a sec ond Einstein—still, it's a good be ginning. Campus Calendar I’hi Kappa Psi announces the pledging of John Talbot of Port land.
