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.

Superstition To

Get out your rabbit’s foot and
cross your fingers for tonight at
8:30 is your date at the Super Su

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.

Theatre reviews in. the Emerald

Henceforth this column will review

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

Graduate Tells
How Advertising
Plans Often Fail

it doesn’t want, no matter how
much advertising you do"—at
i least that is the opinion of Morris
! 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

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.

Friday 13th Is O.K., Assert
Unsuperstitious Oregonians
By ELINOR HENRY
Oregon students seem pretty
well agreed that Friday the 13th
isn’t unlucky.
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.
