Evans Will Conduct 'St. Cecilia Mass’ Annual Presentation Wiill Be Given Sunday Methodist Episcopal Church To Be Scene of Mass For Thirteenth Time * The thirteenth annual Eugene presentation of the “St. Cecilia Mass" under the direction of John Stark Evans will be given Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the First Methodist Episcopal church, where Mr. Evans is organist and choir director. As is his custom, Mr. Evans will not only direct the choir in the presentation of the traditional yuletide music, but will serve as organist as well. The presenta tion of the glorious church work will take the place of Mr. Evans’ regular Sunday evening organ re citals. The soloists, all of whom are members of the Methodist choir, are to be Emiliene Roach, so prano; Don Eva, tenor; and Her schel Scott, baritone. Eva is sing ing the solo part in this concert for the fourth successive time. Several other University students are members of the vested choir and will take part in the concert. The Latin mass was written in the nineteenth century by the French composer, Gounod, in hon or of the patron saint of music, St. Cecilia. It is rich in its melo dies and climaxes and is of deep religious significance, appropriate to the Christmas season. Following the service, which will last approximately one hour, the Wesley foundation, Methodist university students’ organization, will entertain with a social half hour for those who desire to re main. Refreshments will be served from 6 until 6:30. POLITICAL IDEAS OF UNI VERSITIES OF INTEREST (Continued from Page One) much as the average uneducated man in the street. It would ap pear that we are too optimistic, perhaps, in assuming that educa tion is such a powerful factor in moulding the opinions of the indi vidual.” While discussion of the college straw vote, in the light of actual election results, was reaching a crescendo this week, observers noted a few practical results of the official polling on November 8, as it affected higher education: 1. In Oregon, the Zorn-Macpher China War Lord Well and Alive Marshall Chang Hseuh-Liang,1 war lord of northern China, is alive and well, all rumors of his fatal poisoning notwithstanding. This is a positive statement that is made here by Dr. Harold J. No ble, assistant professor of history at the University of Oregon, and he gets his information first hand. Dr. Noble received a letter from T. Y. Wang, general secretary to Chang Hseuh-Liang, in which the tumors were definitely set at test. Mr. Wang, a highly educated Chi nese, as is his chief, was inter viewed by Dr. Noble last summer, during a trip to the Orient. Although Chang Hseuh-Liang has been driven out of Manchuria, he still has considerable power in China, and by no means has given up his struggles, Dr. Noble says. The Orient is regarded by Dr. No ble as the most fascinating part of the world at present, and he is watching with interest develop ments there, especially since he is personally acquainted with many people involved there. son bill, which would have further reorganized the higher educational system in that state, was snowed under approximately 221,000 to 34,000. Attacked as a “school-juggling bill” by the University of Oregon Daily Emerald, but supported by the Oregon State College Daily Barometer as economically sound, the proposition would have estab lished the state university on the Oregon State college campus, while the present campus of the University in Eugene would have been converted into a teachers' college. Two normal schools would have become junior colleges, and a third would have been abolished. 2. In Washington, Clarence D. Martin, Democrat, who has charged that the University of Washington “is in the hands of her enemies” and who has promised educational reforms, was elected governor. He proposes to allow all high school graduates to enter the university. 3. In Wisconsin, John B. Chappie, Republican, whose campaign was largely made up of vitriolic at tacks on the University of Wis consin students and faculty, was defeated by F. Ryan Duffy, Demo crat. Chappie charged that the university was a “hotbed” of com munism and radicalism. 4. In New York city, John P. O’Brien, Democrat, who, accord ing to the Columbia Daily Spec tator, wants that university de loused of Communists and Social ists and who wants Columbia to have an R. O. T. C., was elected mayor by an overwhelming ma jority. n "But instead S I actually find myself look ing forward to the moment when you pack the bowl with Granger.

The 207 news items, from the Register-Guard, including heads, total 2594 column inches in length or 123.5 standard 21-inch columns of 15.4 pages. The 83 editorials to tal 613 inches in length, but as the Register-Guard editorial col umn is one and a half times as wide as the news column, this is equivalent to 29 columns or 5.4 pages. The alumni office is completing files of news stories, organization of campaign, student work, cam pus publicity, samples of booklets and folders, statistical studies and other items having an important part in the campaign. One copy will be filed at the alumni office and the other lodged in the Uni versity library. Robert K. Allen, who handled publicity from the alumni office during the campaign, is aiding in preparing the files and is assist ing Alexander G. Brown, alumni secretary, in bringing the routine work of the office up to date. Clothing Is Taken From Parked Car By Traffic Police Car Is Registered Under Name of C. D. Johnson; Owner Asked To Call The city police are wondering if any University student ever no ticed a loss of some clothing. Chief of Police Carl Bergman has had a suit of clothing and several pairs cf very good shoes on his hands for over two months now, and would be more than willing to get rid of them. These articles were taken from a car, Ford coupe, 1929 model, which was parked on Alder street, just off 13t.h avenue, for several I days. The car had a broken wheel land while examining it, police no ; ticed the articles mentioned. Af j ter tagging the car for overtime parking for the third or fourth time, they decided to remove all removable articles to the police station for safe-keeping. They have been there ever since. I The only clue to ownership of the articles was found in the reg istration of the car. It is owned by C. D. Johnson, of 874 Lovej'y i street, Portland. Chief Bergman asks as a spe cial favor that the owners of the various articles call foi them as soon as possible. Identify them, and take them away. MUELLER SPEAKS ON RUSSIA AT CLUB MEET (Continued from Page One) economic advantages of trade with a nation with unlimited de mands. Recently Russia has made non aggression treaties with France, Poland, and Finland, and is negoti ating with Rumania. Japan, how ever, refused her request for such a treaty. “Why has Japan refused a non aggression pact? Japan and Rus sia seem to be coming together on the Manchurian problem instead of being made inimical by it.” That the five-year plan has cer tainly not been a total failure was pointed out by the speaker. He questioned the statements of Le-, vine's “Red Smoke,” saying that they were established on authori ties too olQ and incomplete, though authentic. He suggested that the club members read an article on the subject in the July, 1932, Current History, which has recent figures. _CLASSIFIED LOST—Gold ring, initial I, at Condon. Return to Ramp, 700.

The previous article dealt with Sigma Xi, science honor ary, and this with Phi Beta Kap pa, scholastic honorary.) By ANN-REED BURNS There is a certain pin—a gold key, bearing a hand with the in dex finger pointing toward three stars, and inscribed with three Greek letters—a key which un locks none of the usual gates and bolts but which opens the door of recognition to those who are fortunate enough to wear it. It is the Phi Beta Kappa key. Phi Beta Kappa is the oldest Greek letter fraternity. Estab lished in 1776 at the college of William and Mary as a social group, it gradually developed into a national scholastic honorary. To day it still is at the head of the list of Greek societies, for there are 125 chapters of Phi Beta Kap pa—a greater number than most fraternities have. Each year the members in each local chapter of Phi Beta Kappa choose not more than 10 per cent of the seniors who have been most outstanding through the four years in scholastic work. As a rule, at the University of Oregon, about 5 per cent of the class is selected— from 25 to 30 generally being elected. The “Senior Six,” who are cho sen in the fall term, are those sijc students who have so far had the most worthy record. A further number of seniors are elected in the spring. The requirements of a Phi Bete are a grade point average of 2 for all four years or of 2.5 for the last five terms. Thus a student must have an average of either B all through his college career or half way between A and B for most of his last two years. Also, a stu dent must have had 80 term hours on the Eugene campus. In selecting the Phi Betes, stu dents are favored who, in addition to excellent scholarship, have tak en a wide range of subjects and have not confined themselves to a narrow specialized field. Not only grades but personality is taken into account—a student’s interest, his initiative, and intellectual cu riosity. Also—and here i3 a fact not generally known—a student who has participated in worthwhile ac tivities is preferred to the one who has been successful in studies alone. Now, here’s something to re member, all you would-be Phi Betes! Every professor you evei had will be consulted when your name comes up. The membership committee sends a list of names to every professor—and his judg ment is an important point in the selection. The Oregon chapter of Phi Beta Kappa has ope feature which is unknown to many. It sponsors a bookshelf in the library as a means of furthering interest in good lit erature. Each year $25 is invest ed in the best recent publications, and these books are loaned out through the library for one year. At the end of that time they are given to the most outstanding sophomore. The University of Oregon chap ter was founded in 1923. At pres ent the officers of the chapter are Dr. George Rebec and Miss Mary Kent, secretary. Prof. John Muel ler has just retired from office after holding the office of presi dent for the last two years.

Bowen, head of the Ro l mance languages department of the University of Oregon, appears as the leading article in the Octo i her number of “Modern Language I Forum," one of the outstanding i publications in this field. The ar i tide has won high praise from Dr. j Bowen’s colleagues here and else where. | In his article Dr. Bowen not only analyzes the ciualities of the novel and the ability of Balzac, but points out the dramatic sense with which the author writes. A di vision of the work into acts and scenes, with number of characters, is included. “Thus we see that Balzac pos sessed a sense for dramatic scenes," says Dr. Bowen. "The dining room as pictured in the prologue with all the boarders gathered about the table is typical of his powers of concentrating in one place all the elements the un folding of which producess the drama. The setting out of which everything precedes is given in full. Every person reveals there the characteristics that indicate the role he will play. “The brilliant dialogue subtly implies the entire plot. The gay ety of the scene is in sharp con trast with the deep tragedy that is gradually evolved out of that set ting. “Balzac's humor, like Voltaire’s grin, runs through this whole story. The most tragic scenes are found funny by someone, or are treated with the cool indifference that selfishness breeds. Much has been written about the brilliance of the dialogue in all Balzac’s novels. Even the most casual re mark contains hidden and very significiant meaning." "We have seen that Balzac had a sense for dramatic structure, not only as far as the struggle is concerned, but also in his build ing up of acts and scenes, and in his presentation of dramatic sit uations.” Dr. Bowen said in his conclusion. "His characters, how ever, which often require several novels in order to be fully re vealed, are even in any one of them, conceived with two complex psychology, and their actions are the results of too intricate a scheme of causes to fit into the requirements of an evening’s per formance. They prevented the author's success as a dramatist for the stage.” Dr. Bowen has earned a reputa tion among authorities on Ro mance languages through his writ ings on Balzac, and has had sev eral articles publisihed previously on this subject. Democrats* Club Hears S. S. Smith “International Problems" was the subject of a talk delivered by S. Stephenson Smith, professor of English in the University before the Young Democrats’ club at a meeting held at the Osborne hotel Wednesday night. In his talk Professor Smith ad vocated the reduction of debts in proportion to armament reduction other countries would be willing to make. A more lenient policy toward Japan should be adopted in view of the Manchurian prob lem, Smith stated. After the main talk the group joined in informal discussion on various points along international lines. Plans for permanent organiza tion of the club were brought up for discussion, and a constitution providing for permanent organiza tion was adopted.
