Work Nearly Finished On Straub Bust Clay Model Will Be Cast in Bronze in Chicago Oregon Sandstone Will Be Used Entirely for Stand, Says Rex Sorensen Work on the Dean John Straub bust is progressing rapidly. Rex Sorensen, who was commissioned by the senior class to make the bust as their gift to the school, stated that it would be finished by the middle of this term. The clay model will then be sent to Chicago to be cast in bronze. Sorensen is working from photo graphs, and has already formed the clay into a striking resem blance of the late dean. When fin ished, the bust will be 24 inches high, and tower approximately seven feet with the stand. Six hundred dollars was allotted by the senior class for the bust, the greater part of which will be used for the bronze cast. Sorensen, a graduate student in the art department, is planning to take his master’s degree in sculp ture some time this month. He recently finished the Daly bust which- was dedicated in Lakeview t during the Christmas holidays. ! A feature of this bust was the stand which was made entirely from sandstone taken from the Brownsville region in Oregon. This is the first time that the local product has been used for bases. Oliver Barrett, assistant professor of sculpture, discovered the usa bility of the sandstone last year and inaugurated it into the sculp ture department. Western sand stone is famous for its flexible and durable nature. W.S.C. QUINTET TO HAVE FIRST CHANCE TONIGHT (Continued from Page One) lack of height. Miller and Simons, the other guards, are both big and able to take care of themselves in any mix-up. Robertson has played his usual inconsistent game this year, but Reinhart hopes that some day he will snap out of it and play the basketball of w'hich he is capable. In several games in California and in the final Ashland encounter Robertson showed flashes of bril liance. Watts, Robertson’s running mate at forward, is one of the not consistent players on the squad. He is a good defensive player and can be counted on for his share of the scoring. Both tonight’s and Saturday night’s contests will start at 7:30. Cadet Rush B. Lincoln, dr., son of Col. Rash B. Lincoln, who grad uated from West Point at the head of his class.'

Superstition To Feature Affair On Friday, 13th — Get out your rabbit’s foot and cross your fingers for tonight at 8:30 is your date at the Super Su per Stitious Social sponsored by the Wesley club of the Methodist church. There will be a program featur ing singers from Portland, among whom will be Everett Craven, bar itone, and the Reverend P. M Blenkinsop of the Central Metho dist church of Portland. Rest assured that the supersti-' tion motif will be authentic i throughout, for it is based on a study of the superstition of col- j lege students made by Dr. E. C. Conklin, head of the psychology department of the University. Members of the Westminster house will be the special guests of the evening. Eula Loomis, chair man, assisted by Violet Adams and Frances Sale, are m charge of the plans for this affair. Courses in Recreation Offered at Gerlingerj -- Recreation extension courses are being offered by the physical education department Tuesday nights at 7:30 in Gerlinger hall. Tap dancing and social dancing classes are offered from 7:30 to 9:30, while the swimming classes are held continuously from 7:30 to 9:45. j —— CINEMA --- j MCDONALD — “Animal King dom.” COLONIAL — “Man Called Back.” Theatre reviews in. the Emerald are going on a new basis today. Henceforth this column will review one show each day, attempting generally to give a fair announce ment of dates impending. It is our belief that with this system a fair er review can be made; and you can tell that we’re trying every thing to make a movie review a review, and not a slapped out dish of publicity. The McDonald is showing “Ani mal Kingdom,” with Leslie How ard and Ann Harding. The most important thing in this so-sophis ticated comedy of Philip Barry’s, to most movie goers, will be the discovery of William Gargan, in the part of a punch-drunk ex-pug, who will buttle his way straight into your affections. His ingenious Co live Down After the Game Tonight — See Both Shows for 15c Sunday — Monday Jack Oakie ui the Screen Satire on Hollywood - and sometimes side-splitting aside from butler frockcoat are the spice of the picture. Next important, the play. Out side of the fact that the roles are reversed, somehow, and the “other woman” gets to eat her cake and have it, too, it’s intensely moral, as pictures go. Love is the thing, and the love of a pure woman, too. Playwright Barry disregards tech nical purity, but invests Ann Hard ing with what amounts to more than virtue, and a few lines which just don’t come off. Myrna Loy plays her usual role, and is just as feline as ever, though married. This is the part that Leslie How ard played on Broadway not too long ago, and to the huzzahs of the crowd. This column adds its cheer. For the ladies, we might say that Howard was born in Lon don, started life as a bank clerk, went to France with the Tommies, is known as the screen’s gayest and most gallant lover, and that he will be forty (40) next birth day. Although on principle I’m dis j tinctly against the practice of pho tographing successful stage plays and broadcasting them as movies, tiil Hollywood’s writers learn to maintain the average of their pro ductions and successfully take ad vantage of the mediums at their command, I’m just as definitely in favor of their bringing us what I successful playwrights have said ! behind Broadway’s footlights. Phil ip Barry’s “Animal Kingdom” makes, a good show. I ’Till Sat. Kite in' CZetrjGraiKEMiHffl Walt MYRNA LOY, WILLIAM GARGAN. Nctl Hamilton. Hen nr Stephenaon.

Hyde, graduate of the school of journalism in 1917, who was a visitor on the campus yesterday. Mr. Hyde, who has recently been employed by the O’Connor 1 Moffatt agency in San Francisco and is now touring the country with Mrs. Hyde, proceeded to ex pound a few of his ideas on a new theory of advertising he is devel oping. 'Many advertisers seem to think that anything can be sold to the public if it is advertised enough. Well, it can’t be done. Compara tively few people will buy some thing they had no use for before they saw the advertising," he de clared. "Advertising is not so potent as many think it is. In many cases 75 to 85 per cent of the money spent for advertising is wasted by over-advertising a product, or ad vertising one the public does not \ want. "The idea is to advertise what the people want, and you are less apt to lose money. This can be overdone too. Too many adver-! tisers fail to see this.” With a wide range of experi-1 ence behind him, Mr. Hyde is well qualified to discuss the subject, j After graduating, he worked five1 years on various newspapers. Since then, he has worked for the Loeser-Bouck store in New York, with Lipman Wolfe in Portland, and was eight years with the Emporium in San Francisco. While on the campus, Hyde wqrked on the Emerald, and was editor of the Oregana in 1916. He is a member of Sigma Delta Chi and Delta Tau Delta. TECHNOCRACY UNIVER SAL, SAYS CRUMBAKER (Continued from Page One) become a household word, only the ! most fragmentary information concerning the basis theories of the cult are available. Already commentators have begun to in ject reactions of their own into their discussions. Until the offi cial, detailed exposition of the sys tem has been made by the re search group sponsoring it, it will be difficult and unsafe to pass judgment upon the validity of the general theory. It appears now that the term is used in two, perhaps three senses. Officially, it appears to be the ti tle applied to the research organi zation which originated the term. Recent articles by Mr. Scott, re puted founder of the organization, are copyrighted by "Technocracy.” This title then is applied to a group of several hundred research workers, though it is not indicated whether the title is applied to a corporate body, or to an unchart ered association. A second meaning has been sug gested by members of the group as a title to be applied to a sort of energy state, ’ governed by tech nology. Technology would thus be a sort of successor to other types of control, feudal aristocracy, ab solute monarchy, constitutional monarchy, and finally democracy. Those who follow the theory of so cial evolution may fancy they see in this sequence a natural evolu tion. a imru meaning, u it ue a mird, appears to be government by tech nicians, a sort of dictatorship by technologist and expert. This con cept has been disavowed by spokesmen of technocracy, but this is really the idea which has captivated the imagination of most persons who believe that "plan less” systems must give way to “planned.” 1 This interpretation of the term grows out of the second. If there is to be an energy state, as op posed to a geographical, or a po litical state, it would naturally have to be controlled and adminis tered by those with adequate tech- j nical training. Only a democracy can entrust its technical problems 1 to the ignorant and untrained un der the theory that the voice of the people is the voice of God. If, as its advocates prophesy, tech nocracy is raised upon the ruins of democracy, surely it will not fall into the fatal error of entrust ing its decisions to any but an aristocracy of technical training. The appeal of technocracy is largely to those suffering from economic readjustment. What they I wish is a system of control which .can always preserve order. So, in j their present state of mind, many think they would welcome a dic tatorship of the technician, under which private property, and liberty with its attendant freedom of con tract. freedom of initiative, and freedom of competition, can go hang We trade our constitutional "rights” for a warm stall, a cer tain supply of provender, a rela tively stable condiUoij of comfort, ;and such toil and labor as rrfky be | exacted by those in authority. Changes toward dictatorship which may be expected under the new system can be inferred from ! statements made by members of the cult. That leaders believe that (the trouble with the present sys tem is with the controls is indi cated by the use of a simile m j which oxcart drivers, specialist Ratings Show Progressive Improvement Seniors Have GPA of 1.43, And Frosh Only 0.43 Registrar’s Office Compilation Proves Grades Improve With Seniority . That grades of students improve steadily as they progress through their college yegrs is shown by the table of individual ratings recent ly compiled by the registrar’s of fice. During the fall term, freshmen had a GPA of 0.87 points per hour. Sophomores had 1.13, juniors had 1.40, and seniors had 1.43. The story of the survival of the fittest is shown in the averages of the deciles in which students have been placed by their psycho logical tests. The freshman decile, averaged 5.8. The sophomores av eraged 6.0, juniors averaged 6.9, and the seniors 6.4. The slight de cline of the senior average is at tributed to the fact that not all third year students are officially classed as juniors, not having ful filled the requirements for the junior certificate, and passing di-r rectly to senior standing on receipt:: of it in the last year. This makes those whose J. C. requirements!! have been attained in two years the only official juniors. In the averaging of the deciles by schools, it is found that arts and letters students have the high average of 7.3. Law follows next? with 7.0, science third with 6.8, journalism fourth with 6.7, and the other schools ranging downward to as low as 4.3. Apparently the men are gaining on the women as to comparative deciles of prep and college. The women lead the men 6.7 to 4.7 in prep school ratings, but in the psy chology ratings they overhaul them to some extent, trailing only 5.9 to 6.4. But, for consolation to the men: in the psychology deciles of 10, there are 147 men to 110 women; in decile 9, there are 141 men to 115 women; in 8 there are 153 to 109. But men lose their averages when it comes to the lower deciles. Men again must give way to the feminine when it comes to getting grades. The all-men average was 1.13, whereas the all-women av erage was 1.40. In the computa tion of these tables the grades and ratings of 942 women were used, as well as those of 1,352 men, practically the only figure at which men excelled. and experts in transportation in their day, are put in charge of modern airplanes, because air planes are devices for transporta lion. In general it is implied that lictatorship by the technician will supply the proper controls. It is definitely stated that political, so -ial, and economic institutions which were evolved under handi craft conditions, although hopeless ly outgrown, have been retained as controls of an entirely different system. The modern system is no longer an oxcart muddling its way to its destination, but an airplane with an oxcart driver at the con trols hurtling its way toward de struction. The word “technocracy” is a jem of publicism. Its availability is probably one of its greatest drawbacks—too much will be ex pected of it. The individual Amer can citizen is waiting with anxiety for the development of a plan which will solve each economic problem as affects him. It would be unsafe, at this time, to conclude that the theory, when announced in detail, will fall short of hopes based upon popular imagination, rhere is danger that too much will be expected. Recruits Needed Now For Yeoman Volleyball A call for Yeoman volleyball players was issued by Smiling Ed Goodnough, sports manager.

At a meeting of house representatives Tongue urged the cooperation of the students in col lecting back installments on sub 1 script ions to the book and in add ing more names to the list of nearly 900 who have signed for copies. Next week-end, according to Tongue, will be absolutely the lastj chance students or townspeople i will have to buy copies of the book, as the publication will go to ' press in a few vVeeks. “Despite the cut made in the: Oregana budget this year,” stated Tongue, “the book will be up to its | usual size and quality. Students: are urged to aid in the undelayed, publishing of this year’s edition by placing their subscriptions at the first opportunity.” Those new students, or tho3e not i as yet contacted, who wish sub-! scriptions to the book may obtain j them from the various house representatives or at the A.

University Band Concert Schedule A schedule for the University band which will include music at every basketball game, two cam pus concerts, and the possibility of one or two out-of-town con certs, was announced yesterday by John Stehn, director of the band. The dates of February 12 and March 7 have been definitely set for the campus concerts, while ar rangements for the out-of-town performances have not as yet been completed. All band concerts will be held in McArthur court this term and the band is to alternate with the orchestra, each organization giv ing two programs during the term. In spite of the reduced atten dance this year', the band has been able to maintain its customary size of about 72 pieces. DR. MOORE IS OFFERED JAPAN PROFESSORSHIP (Continued from Page One) given to men who have been p’rom- | inent in the fields of biology. When asked for a statement concerning his appointment, Dr. Moore said, "It is a very interest ing opportunity to see the life of a university in a land I have never visited. Also I have long wanted to work with the marine forms of the Japanese coast, and this does give me a splendid opportunity to do so, especially at the marine bio logical station of the Tohoku uni versity." And then, smiling, he added, "I’ll know much better what to say af ter I get back. One doesn't know what to say before a thing hap pens.” * The New Spring j Knitted j j Suits | Dresses and Sweaters 1 . | Showing Smart, Clever, New Styles That Have Arrived at Our Store I tresses and Suits *2.95 to *5.95 Sweaters, *1.95 The BROADWAY Inc. 90 K.

Gib Olinger, flashy guard, thought playing basketball on Fri day the 13th should bring Oregon a little luck, saying, “Everyone thinks it’s so unlucky that it should bring somebody good luck!” Bill Bowerman, student body vice-president, observed, “Some football players take great joy and pride in wearing the number 13. I used to wear 13 last spring in prac tice. “Cotton” Warburton, who plays for Southern Cal, always wears number 13. In the Pitts burgh Rose Bowl game his sweat er was torn off, and h,e was imme diately issued another number 13 sweater. Johnnie Kitzmiller wore number 13 in professional foot ball.” “Cap" Roberts, leader of Ore gon's hoop aggregation (see sports page), has very definite ideas on the subject. "I was born on Fri day the 13th," he remarked, “so think it’s lucky for me.” Marguerite Tarbell, A. S. U. O secretary, declared, "You can saj I plan to stay in bed all day to morrow so nothing can possiblj happen to me." But she spoilee the effect by adding, “I’m not su perstitious. I never think of Fri day the 13th.” Bob Hall had no opinion eithei way. “Maybe I’ll know a littli more about it tomorrow night,' he laughed. “I'll have to wait til then to find out.” Only Nancy Suomela, secretary of the junior class, had her doubts “I'm not a bit superstitious,” sh( stated solemnly, “but I’m not tak ing any chances. They make sc much noise about it, there must b< something to it.” She claimed tha she has never walked under a lad der in her life. And if a black ca: should cross her path! . . . But contrary to her assertion—as wa; proved at Co-ed Capers-—she’! more likely to pick it up and brinj it in out of the cold. Russia Explained By Dr. W. Powers, Specialist on Soib The Oriental disposition of the Russian peasants as regards time, and their diet of black bread made of poppy seed, sun flower seed, and a, little flour, account to a large extent for their utterly weak pro ductivity, Dr. W. L. Powers of Oregon State college, said in an il lustrated lecture at the geology lecture room of Condon hall Wed nesday night. The ordinary American laborer, iccording to Dr. Powers, could do what two Russians can do under the same conditions. As regards the handling of agricultural ma chinery an American can do what six or eight Russians are capable of doing. Dr. Powers is a soil scientist who spent the summer of 1931 in Rus sia studying the soil and agricul ture of that country. He was also there to represent the United States in a convention of soil ex perts. Above the 60th parallel, he stat ed, the soil is frozen, but there is more acreage in wheat land in Russia than in the United States md Canada. However, less wheat is produced there mainly because of the inability of the Russians to handle machinery as good as the Canadians or Americans. University M. E.
