    Symphony To
Gi ve Concert!
At McArthur
Frances Brockman To Be
Soloist
Townspeople and Students May
Hear Orchestra Without
Admission Charge
Schubert’s Unfinished symphony
and the Max Bruch concerto in G
minor with Frances Brockman as
violin soloist are outstanding in
the program for the University
orchestra concert to be given at
McArthur court Sunday afternoon
at 3 o’clock. There will be no ad
mission charge for the program,
which is the first of a forthcoming
series of 12 concerts sponsored by
the A. S. U. O., all of which will
be free to students.
Miss Brockman, a sophomore in
the University and student of Rex
Underwood, has attracted a great
deal of attention the past two
years as a violinist of unusual abil
• Ity and poise. Last year she
played a Mozart concerto with the
orchestra, and those who heard
her then are looking forward to
her interpretation of the difficult
Max Bruch concerto.
In addition to the Schubert sym
phony, the full orchestra will play
the Beethoven “Leonore" overture
No. 3. Written for Beethoven’s
only opera, this overture is one of
the most popular dramatic com
positions of Beethoven.
A string orchestra within the
full orchestra will play a Mozart
serenade, "Kleine Nacht Musik,"
and a double string quartet, with
clarinet and piano, will present
Prokofieff’s "Overture on Jewish
Themes.’’
Since the public, as well as the
University student body is to be
admitted to this concert without
charge, it will hot be necessary for
students to present their A. S. U.
O. cards at the door, as has been
done in past years.

succeeded in persuading the cele
brated Dr. C. W. Spears to try his
luck on the Pacific coast. After
two successful seasons Spears, too,
resigned last spring following the
drastic revisions made by the state

lege in matters foreign to the pur
pose of its foundation. All expe
rienced educators recognize these
dangers and consider it their duty
to safeguard against them.”
President Robert D. Leigh of
Bennington college holds the op
posite view.
"The inescapable fact with re
gard to academic devices of sup
pression is that they do not sup
press, he declares. Indeed, the ef
fect upon students is strangely
perverse—as perverse as that up
on naughty children when punish
ed by irate parents. To forbid stu
dent publication is to increase the
reading and discussion of the thing
forbidden. To prohibit student as
semblies or to pronounce a tabu
on subjects or speakers is to drive
them not even underground but
across the street into a bigger hall
with a larger and more attentive
audience.
it requires not much insight to
see that in a world of newspapers,
magazines, books, radio, movies
and endless public talk it is impos
sible to keep the college student
from access to the new, the bi
zarre, the fanatical, the dark and
Ignorant criticisms, the bright and
fragile utopias of our time. In the
interest of sound thinking, the de
velopment of critical judgment
and of a sense of values they
should certainly have that access.
“Where more harmlessly than in
the cool academic groves can the
steam of protest and discontent
escape ?
“Suppress protests and bizarre
notions, hide them indoors, send
them outside the campus walls,
and they immediately become
glamorous and important far be
yond their desert. Give them a free
and normal part in the life of the
college and they will serve as
source material for development
of mature thinking and for judg
ment freed from the emotional re
sults of childish protests, fears and
antagonism. Clearly, freedom and
tolerance in these matters lead to
a sounder educational result than
the necessarily futile and dramatic
combats resulting from authori
tarian censorship."
Victor P. Morris
Talk Over Radio
Speaking over KOAC Tuesday
evening, on “The World Wide Farm
Crisis,” Victor P. Morris, profes
sor of economics, showed how me
chanical development has changed
farm conditions of the days of
Thomas Jefferson, as compared to
those of today, with its numerous
problems. The farm crisis is world
wide.
Transportation and communica
tion have so tied the world togeth
er, that a crisis on the farms of
America has its counterpart in Ar
gentine, Australia, Europe, and
Canada, Morris pointed out. Wher
ever farming has ceased to be the
simple diversified business where
the single family is practically a
self-sufficing unit, crisis exists.
With the possible exception of
j China and Russia, there is no coun
! try where the agriculturists, de
spite special measures of protec
tion, have not suffered severely
from the precipitous decline in the
prices of their products. Morris
gave several other instances add
ing, “The mere mention of all of
these, points out clearly the way
in which these world-wide farming
interests are identical with those
of many here in Oregon.”
Still another consequence of the
price collapse is the long chain of
circumstances set in motion by the
decline in the purchasing power
of the agricultural sections of the
country. “Overproduction is an
other reason for trouble,” Morris
j continued. “This overproduction
I problem involves very bewildering
| international programs.”
| “Our immediate interest," he
| said in concluding, “is to aid in re
building of world markets.”

Of The Orient
China Produces Culture of
Hifllt Standard
Eastern Civilization May Provo
Only Remedy To Present
World Ailments
McGILL UNIVERSITY, Mon
treal. Jan. 18 Because China has
produced and represents an indi
genous culture which is of a very
high standard, simple and prac
tical. old yet living, non-aggres
sive yet prevailing and perpetrat
ing, passive yet enduring all this
is sufficient reason why the west
ern world should take up Chinese
studies. Added to this is the fact
that diplomatic services, mission
ary activities and industrial de
velopments in China all necessi
tate the knowledge of Chinese
studies.
This was the opinion expressed
today when Dr. Kiang Kang Hu,
professor of Chinese studies, spoke
over station CKAC on the Grad
uates’ society broadcast program.
Dr. Kiang stated that he had
frequently been asked the three
following questions: Of what do
Chinese studies consist ? Why
should the V/est take up Chinese
studies ? and How may they start
and pursue their Chinese studies ?
Hus Indigenous Culture
In the first place, Chinese
studies contain every branch of
human knowledge in the Chinese
world. “She has an indigenous
culture which embraces religion,
philosophy, social and natural sci
ences." China in 1850 had the
largest number of publications of
any language. Owing to the
comparative difference between
the spoken and written language
these studies have remained as a
sealed book even to those western
ers who understand and speak the
Chinese dialects but who have

Questionnaires on College
Football Show Many Views
NEW YORK, Jan. 18—(Special)
While Columbia university’s ath
letic affairs this week continued to
be the subject of a special investi
gation. faculty opinions sought by
the Columbia Daily Spectator
showed widely varying opinions on
college football.
Editors of Spectator recently
sent a questionnaire to each of
250 faculty members, asking par
ticularly for their views on meth
ods of organizing intercollegiate
football and on charges that foot
ball was being over-emphasized at
Columbia.
The questionnaire was prepared,
following the decision of the uni
versity administration to investi
gate the Columbia athletic depart
ment. This inquiry, which has
been long favored by Spectator, i3
now in progress.
Meanwhile, results of the Spec
tator questionnaire failed to show
any great preponderance of opin
ion either for or against present
methods of organizing intercolleg
iate gridiron competition, but they
did show that “faculty members
are intelligent human beings,” ac
cording to editors of the student
paper.
Thirty-four faculty members de
dared they favored the present or
ganization of college football,
while 29 disapproved it, and 19
others expressed the belief that
Columbia was not suffering from
overemphasis of football, in com
parison to other institutions.
A majority of the faculty mem
bers denied they would discrimin
ate in favor of a football player,
although several admitted they
would be willing to aid grid heroes,
should they need a little special ■
coaching.
One professor recommended that
“football should be more frankly
professional, and the money should
go to the university." Another de
clared he had “never seen a game
worth 50 cents,” while a third bit
terly condemned paying coaches
“more than the' best professors.”
On the other hand, one faculty
member commented that "football
as played at the present time
“seems to be brilliantly intellectual
procedure.” Which may or may
not balance such remarks as "bor
ing” . . . "detrimental to the edu
cational interests of the players”
... "a narcotic, deadening the stu
dent to important issues of life”
. . . and “too brutal."
made no special study of the
classics.
The Chinese civilization because
it is unlike the modern western
type with all its defects may yet
be a remedy to the present world
ailments. This desire to learn
Chinese studies can be especially
shown in the United States where
about 150 universities have a Far
East department and are likewise
equipped
Finally, to those desirous of
learning these studies, Dr. Kiang
advised reading the standard tran
slations of Chinese literature in
general. Unfortunately the num
ber of these books is limited.
Moreover the language itself
should be studied, and with the aid
of dictionaries may be self-taught.
Entertainment Reports
Must Be in This Week
Reports on all entertainments
this yea rat which an admission
charge of 40 cents or more was
charged must be turned in to the
University business office by Fri
day, January 20.
The University is required to
report the entertainments to the
collector of internal revenue in all
cases where the function is spon
sored in the name of the Univer
sity. The reports must contain the
name of the entertainment, the
building in which it was held, the
date upon which it was held, and
the name of the person in charge.
PROFESSOR SAYS
COLLEGE SHOULD
BE PLACE OF MIND
Alexander Meiklejohn Criticize#
Elective System and Part#
Of Universities
MADISON, Wis., Jan. 18—(Spe
cial)—Claiming that the univer
sity should be a place of the mind,
and not a training school as it is
at present, Prof. Alexander
Meiklejohn defended hi3 20-year
old address, delivered at his in
auguration as president of Am
herst .before two dozen students
in the Memorial Union recently.
“Thinking,” he said, "should be
taught and encouraged for two
reasons. First, it is pleasant in
itself. Secondly, it gives insight
and perspective, which the world
so sorely needs today. There are
many things to be done at the
present time, but no one know3
what to do.”
Mr. Meiklejohn attacked the
elective system and the depart
ments which concentrate upon
technical training to the neglect
of an education. "When technical
training for a profession, such as
medicine, interferes with your gen
eral development, you had better
become a plumber and keep up
your general development.”
Today Emerald news will be
presented on the Emerald-of-the
Air program over KORE at 12:15.
This evening at 7:15 Dr. War
ren D. Smith of the geology de
partment will deliver the first half
of a 30-minute lecture on why it is
folly to grant the Philippines their
freedom at this time.
It is hoped that the opposite side
of the question may be presented
in the near future by some person
friendly to the policy of Filipino
freedom.

ILLUSION:
This very old illusion was invented by Indian
fakirs, l'he secret was unearthed in 1849 by the
great magician, Robert-IIoudin. At that time, ether
had just been discovered, and little was known
about it. Houdin claimed that he had discovered
that this new anesthetic could make people light as
air. To prove it, he caused the subject to rise into
the air and float apparently suspended. He passed
a hoop around the body to show there were no
wires or supports.
EXPLANATION:
There arc many, many explanations for this old
trick. One is that the girl wears a concealed harness,
which ends in a socket between her shoulder blades.
This is attached to a piston below the stage. The
piston is pushed up from below, causing her to
rise in the air. The piston is invisible, because it
is covered with mirrors which reflect surrounding
draperies, similar to the background. I'he magi
cian can pass the hoop over her body because it
is cut in one place. It can be pulled apart for a
second when it passes the piston.

It’s fun to be fooled_
...it’s more fun to KNOW
Another “magic show” is cigarette adver
tising.
One of its greatest tricks is the illusion
that cigarettes can be made miraculously
"MILD" through manufacturing methods.
the explanation = All popular cigarettes
today are made in modern sanitary factories
with up-to-date machinery. All are heat
treated-some more intensively than others,
because raw, inferior tobaccos require
more intensive treatment than ehoice, ripe
tobaccos.
The real difference comes in the tobaccos
that are used. The better the tobacco, the
milder it is.
jj^BT* I* is a fact, well known by
leaf tobacco experts, that
Camels are made from finer, MORE
EXPENSIVE tobaccos than any other
popular brand.
This is w hy Camels are so mild. This is why
Camels have given more pleasure to more
people than any other cigarette ever made.
It’s the secret of Camels’ rich “bouquet”
...their cool flavor...their non-irritating
mildness.
All the natural, ripe goodness of Camel’s
tobacco is kept fresh for you by the famous
air-tight, welded Humidor Pack. Don’t
remove it.
