VOLUME XXXIV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, DECEMBER C, 1932 ___ __Nj Questionnaire Results Show Relationships Student Faculty Feelings Brought Up l»y Quiz IDEALS EXPRESSED Men’s, Women’s Attitudes Toward Professors Differ, Say Final Figures Complete, tabulated results from the student-faculty questionnaire conducted by Louise Webber, pres ident of A. W. S., with the cooper ation of Skull and Daggers and Mortar Board, to determine the present status of student relations with their instructors, were avail able last night. Personal interest, friendliness^ sympathy, and understanding were the qualities preferred in profes sors by the women students. Among the men a sense of humor and individuality were deemed most important. Answers from 103 students, representative of 18 major schools, divided among living groups and among sophomores, juniors, and seniors revealed that 96 had, some member of the faculty to whom they could go to discuss courses, vocational ambitions, and academic problems. One man and one woman reported that there was no one to whom they could go. Personal Problems Shunned The men in general would just as soon talk to a particular mem ber of the faculty about personal problems as to their parents. The women students answered nega tively. Students were agreed that hand shaking was a significant deter rent to friendship with faculty members. Most of them felt that knowing a professor outside of class enabled them to gain more from the courses under the pro fessor. The common meeting place given was the classroom. Four teen men reported acquaintance ship through fraternity houses, but women were much more spar ing in affirmative reports in this category. Activities Play Part Activities, especially among journalism and music students, played an important part in de veloping intimate acquaintance ships . Here again the classroom was the predominant place of ori ginal meeting. Men, likewise, re ported acquaintanceship through fraternal organizations. Women find activities an impor tant means of friendship with pro fessors; men find recreation and fraternity houses of greater im portance. Miss Webber circulated the questionnaire as a project in Dean Onthank’s class in personal guid ance problems. Similar question naires conducted in other institu tions of higher learning have been signally valuable as a basis for improvement of faculty guidance work with students. Other projects have been con ducted by other members of the class, who will have reports avail able soon. Official Visits Camps T. A. Bergman, national execu tive secretary for Delta Tau Delta, was a visitor on the campus Thursday night and Friday.

Helen Raitanen, Senior Six, Treasures Memories of Sea By ELINOR HENRY Stormy seas and purple light ning are Helen Raitanen’s dearest loves. She feels a little sorry about the wave-washed basements, but she can hardly wait to get back to her home in Astoria to see the waves breaking over the "prom” and dashing spray on the streets. The purple lightning is a mem ory of a visit to her grandmoth er’s home in Massachusetts when she was 13. She has a picture showing her standing beside the Minute Man near Concord Bridge, but her most vivid memories are of the beautiful thunder storms rather than of statues or even Bos ton. Her recent election to the Sen ior Six of Phi Beta Kappa heads an already imposing list of hon ors and activities. She is a mem ber of Pi Lambda Theta, educa tion honorary, Pot and Quill, Am phibian society, W. A. A. and the A. W. S. council. She is also as sistant chairman of the Christmas Revels, and is for the third time a • section editor of the Oregana, su pervising “Dance.” For the second consecutive year she is president of her sorority, Sigma Kappa, and is president of the heads of houses. A long list of committee appoint ments might be added. “I read just most anything,” she said. She is a member of the Co-op book club, but doesn’t get time to read more than a book in a week or two. She feels that she’s getting her money's worth, how ever, exclaiming over the quality of books to be found on the shelves on the book balcony. Her favorite book is “Archy and Mehitabel” by Don Marquis. She takes rather full notes in class, but sometimes forgets to re fer to them again. Like Janet Fitch, she draws many figures in her notebooks. She is an English major, with French and education her minor interests. Just now she is enjoying her practice teaching in sophomore English at Univer sity high school.

R. Jewell, dean of edu cation, in an address yesterday af ternoon to an audience of fresh man men who met in 105 Com merce at the invitation of the newly organized Frosh commis sion, sponsored by the University Y. M. C. A. “If your primary interest in fin al examinations is to get the best possible grades out of them,” Dean Jewell said, “you've got to play up to the professor. Be as independent in thought and speech as you like during the class pe riods of the term, but getting grades is different from being in dependent. When you are writing the final, keep in mind who's go ing to grade your paper and don’t go against the professor’s convic tions or whims on the subject. Don't go out of your way to dis agree with the professor." Get Respect Only The dean explained that the stu dent who insists on doing inde pendent thinking and coming to personal conclusions has the re spect of most professors, even though he may be only a "C” stu dent. "The leaders of tomorrow are just as apt to come from this group as from the “A” students,” he went on, “for many of the high grade students lack necessary courage and leadership, and gain their grades by an unquestioning conformity.” The final examinations should do the instructors as much good as the students, the education dean declared. Exams Test Profs “The best cure for a case of pro fessorial swelleii-head is to read the examination papers for a course in which he thinks lie has done a particularly fine job of teaching. When I read the an swers to the fifth question in an exam I will give to a class of grad uate students next week, I'lf know whether I have put over that point in clear style or not. If the an swers are disappointing, I will note the weak spots and try to strengthen them the next time I cover the same ground.” In discussing methods of study, Dean Jewell advised the freshmen “not to kid yourselves that you’re really studying when you’re sur rounded by bull-sessions, radio music or other distractions.’’ "It’s a rare student who can really absorb a lesson under such circumstances,” he declared. “You owe it to yourself to find a place where you will be free to concen (Continued on I'aye Three) Initiation for Phi Delta Kappa Slated Saturday The fall initiation of Phi Delta Kappa, social science honorary, will be held in the men’s lounge of Gerlinger hall at 3:30 p. m.

(Pop) Warner, cele brated football coach, who yester day announced his resignation as head of Stanford’s gridiron forces. It is expected that he will become head coach at Temple university. One of the games great strate gists, Warner brought Stanford from obscurity to the football peaks in the seven years he was there. Stanford’s ‘Pop’ Warner Resigns His Coaching Job Temple University in Fast Next Post Seleetetl by Elderly Mentor PALO ALTO, Cal., Dec. 5.— (Special)—Ending more than a week’s rumors, Glenn Scobey (Pop) Warner, veteran football coach, today formally resigned as mentor at Stanford university. At the same time he announced that he had received a contract from Tem ple university, Philadelphia, ar'd would take charge of practice there next spring. Warner’s resignation was not totally unexpected as it has been rumored for some time since the Indians ended one of their disap pointing seasons. Announcement of the resignation, however, caused a turmoil on the campus. Following telephoning his resig nation to Dr. Thomas A. Storey, athletic director, Warner issued the following statement: “I am leaving Stanford because 1 have accepted a position which I feel is a step forward for me. I am not at liberty to mention the institution to which I am going, but it is a young and growing uni versity with an enrollment over three times as large as Stanford ind is just beginning to be a factor in athletics. “It is with regret that I am leav ing Stanford where I have had the support of the administrative authorities, and the students and (Continued on l'atjc Three) Xmas Season To Be Ushered In By "Revels’ i Friday Night Festivities In Joyful Tone CAROLERS TO SING Cider Will Flow, Engendering Good Fellowship Among Faculty, Students By ROBERT GUILD Next Friday evening at 9 o’clock carolers for the Christinas Revels, black robes and all, will burst into "hail, hail, wassail" and assorted songs for the second an nual faculty-student Yuletide mer rymaking. At 9:10 by the clock Santa Claus and his tumbling mummers will proceed into the hall, and at 9:15 Bill Anderson, from behind his red nose and white whiskers, will lisp "Are you happy?" and the fun will be on. You are cautioned not to wreck the Christmas tree if you swing partner past the lower left hand corner. A varied program has been ar ranged for this year's Revels, with a bit more dancing than before on the agenda. Fox trots, however, will be interspersed with waltzes, unlike co llegiate proms, the waltzes will be interspersed with Paul Jones, and the prize dance of the whole evening bids fair to be the faculty dance, the Virginia reel. Steve Smith has promised a hog-calling husky to call the fig gers, and only regrets his own hoarseness, caused by too much yelling over the "Goosed Goose.” Stag Line To Be Out A special feature of the eve ning's entertainment as outlined will be the appearance on the floor of a goodly assortment of non professional mixers, not for the cider. Led by the smiling Louise Webber, 'a gang of wenches will mill, about with the multitude, as suring everyone of the proper pro portions of hilarity and terpsichor ean grace, and promising to drag every recalcitrant male into the melee, for as you no doubt know, the party’s the thing. To make this account chrono logical, at 10:30 virtually sharp, the keg will be tapped, the food distributed, and a brief lull will be occasioned .... during the lull the genial Bill will mount the ros trum with a bag of gifts, goodies and joke-provoking surprise pack ages from old Kris, who is not above enjoying a laugh himself. The motif for the gift-giving fea ture is not being disclosed, but your reporter feels sure that there will be plenty big ha-ha in it for you all—and then on with the dance. Plenty of Hotcha! Stag lines are strictly de rigeur for the occasion, since Miss Web ber and her cohorts have sworn to do in every stag that eve, whether he has "drunk his fill” or not. And indeed, it probably won’t take too much coaxing to join in the fun. There’s something outrageously infectious about the godly prof and frau sans dignity and sans that classroom look, whooping it up. And whoops there will be. The evening will be dashed and dotted with songs from Qarolers, en balcony, intermission numbers by a famous campus trio, and tumbling antics by the court clowns. At 11:50 the curtain will commence slowly down to the im memorial strains of “Silent Night,” and the lights will dim for the last waltz. And the cold grey morn will be time enough to contemplate the week ahead. • Written Evidence on Bird Reserve Received by Clark Two volumes of some 1100 pages | of evidence on the Malheur-Har- j ney lakes bird-reserve case have 1 been received by R. C. Clark, head | )t the history department, through the kindness of L. A. Liljeqvist of 1 Marshfield, counsel for the state 3f Oregon. The copies contain ! testimony of the first settlers and j institute a valuable source book for history of that region. The case was tried last year be fore a special master in chancery sitting for the supreme court of the United States at Burns, Ore gon. The suit is brought by the United States government against the state of Oregon for possession of the beds of Malheur, Mud, and Harney lakes, which were turned into a bird reserve by order of President Theodore Roosevelt in 1908. Decision in the case has not yet been given. Appearing as a special witness, Professor Clark gave the history of the lakes, surrounding country, excerpts from the diaries of fur traders and travelers, and reports of military officers who first vis ited the Harney valley, as testi mony. A part of the diary of A. S. McQlure, who traversed the ' Harney region in 1853 was pre sented. McClure was the father of Edgar McClure, after whom the building on this campus was named. ♦
