Tablet To Commemorate Susan Campbell Placed In Alumni Hall Bas-Relief In Bronze Hung In <Gerlinger Wife of Prince L. Campbell Is Commemorated by Harry Camden Paint ing of C. H. Champion Moved To North Mantel in Old Library Yesterday A bronze portrait in bas-relief of the late Mrs. Susan Campbell, wife of Prince L. Campbell, presi dent of the University of Oregon preceding Arnold Bennett Hall, has just been placed in the north end of alumni hall in Gerlinger hall, opposite, the portrait of her hus band. The tablet is the work of Harry Camden, former head of the sculp ture department of the University, and replaces a portrait of C. H. Chapman, president of the Univer sity from 1893 to 1899, which yes terday found a new location above the north mantel in the old li brary. The tablet bears the inscription from Tennyson: “Yoked in all en terprise of noble end.” Below the picture are the words, “Benevo lence, Sympathy, Love,” and across the bottom: “This tablet is placed here and in affection dedicated by the friends of Susan Campbell.” The portrait of President Chap man which it replaces was the gift to the University of Burt Brown Barker, vice-president, and was painted by Michael J. Muller, who was head of the University depart ment of painting until his sudden death in eastern Oregon two sum mers ago. Susan Campbell died at her home in Eugene on September 6, 1932, at the age of 75 years. Prince L. Campbell died in 1925, after they hafl been married for 17 years. • - BOWLKMAN BANS U-KBBN LIDS AFTER SESSION (Continued from Page One) were enthusiastic and well pleased over the move when informed last night by the Emerald. Said Dr. W. J. Kerr, chancellor of higher education: “It is in com mon with the present educational trend.” Dr. James H. Gilbert, dean of .the college of social science, de clared: “The most progressive move in many years. If all things that were associated with the green-lid tradition were done away with, it would do much to improve the University.” Wayne L. Morse, dean of the school of law, said he was always glad to see meaningless traditions abolished. Said William J. (Bill) Reinhart, head coach of basketball and base ball, and one of Oregon’s greatest athletes many years ago, “A boy is no better Oregon student be cause he wears a green cap on his head. Many of the nation’s lead ing schools have long ago abol ished enforcement of freshman caps and I am glad to see Oregon do the same.” The move is in line with simi lar ones made at many great edu cational institutions and is ex pected to draw wide favor and ac claim.

Spencer, now professor of A law, but at that time registrar of the University, forecast and pleaded for a trend in college thought which was exemplified yesterday when the enforcement of freshman caps was abolished by the tradi tions board. The following excerpt from his speech appeared in the Emerald of October 1, 1926. The Emerald at this time takes pleasure in re printing the salient points in his address: “I have told you that when you come to the University you will be "put upon your own responsibility and treated as grown men. I was referring to the academic, to the scholarship side, to the attitude of teachers and officers. There will be times, perhaps, in other re spects, when you will feel that you have not been treated as self respecting men. This is due to certain customs that have been in herited from prep schools and old-fashioned colleges of a certain type; customs that have no place in a modern university made up of men with sense, self-respect, and sound judgment. Schools of the better type have gotten away from these customs. Here is what a fresh man at Harvard wrote. It will suggest to you the custom to which I refer. “ ‘As I had heard of this form of hazing all my life, naturally I expected about the same amt.of treatment at Harvard. Imagine my surprise then, when I was not only allowed to go unmolested, but have not been bothered since. You may rest assured, however, that this surprise was a very pleasant one. I was amazed to find the attitude of the upperclassmen one of friendly helpfulness, instead of one of haughty superiority. In short, Harvard regards a freshman as a rational human being.’ “Oregon has very little hazing and none of the worse forms, but I look forward to the day when there will be none at all. That day will come just as soon as some freshman class wants it to come. One writer has said: ‘The hazing of freshmen has developed as a self-perpetuating' nuisance, largely because of the spirit of reprisal which is born of its humiliations, the spirit of the bully who is determined to take it out. on the next available victim.’ A freshman class is made to suffer, so when that class becomes the sophomore class it does the same to the next freshman class. Whenever a freshman class becomes so disgusted with the practice that it will pass a resolution that it will treat the next class as rational human beings as they do at Harvard, then the practice will stop. Any freshman class can stop it. When classes graduate as seniors they pride themselves on leaving some tradition, some monu ment to commemorate the four years it spent there. I know of no greater monument to the class of 1930 than to have it written in the history of the University, that that class stamped out hazing in all its petty forms. I give these suggestions to you for what they’re worth. I don’t ask you to accept them. If, during the next few months, you like everything that takes place and think it’s good for the University, keep it. If you think it’s beneath the dignity of a self-respecting university, put a stop to it. It's up to you.’’ I ~ “ - -• ■■ !- 1 | . ■ __ COLONIAL — “Movie Crazy,” featuring Harold Lloyd.

By RALPH MASON Comedy at Colonial “They haze him, they phaze him, they all pick on—” No, this isn’t a review of the “Freshman,” but that sums up the situation poor Harold (“Trouble”) Lloyd finds himself in when he arrives on the “lot” in Hollywood, ostensibly to make his career. Women to the right of him and so forth, and does he take it ? This picture is a complete comedy, no soppy sentimentality to break the tempo of the action, and such action. The producers have overdone themselves in try ing to make this film a decided hit. Constance Cummings plays opposite Lloyd, in the capacity of his feminine Waterloo. The ac tion, as the title indicates, centers around the movie studios which offer fine settings for this type of pictpre. * * * Bow at' McDonald They called her “Dynamite” at the girls’ “finishing” school where she kicked and bit her way through to front-page publicity in every scandal sheet it the town. “Call Her Savage,” casts Miss Bow in a role that gives her every opportunity to display her won derful temper.

Chambers, Eugene busi ness man who traveled in Russia last summer, said last night at a meeting of the campus Interna tional Relations club, held at In ternational house. ■ The Russian takes great pride in the fact that nothing is bought from any foreign country but ma chinery. Even foreign ideas for improvement of methods or ma chinery must be credited to a Rus sian, wm> brings the matter up at one of the regular bi-weekly meet ings. Everybody has a chance to be president of something in Rus sia. The chairman of these bi weekly “elections’’ is in office but one night. Goes as Tourist Mr. Chambers went to Russia as a tourist—but in Russia he was not a “tourist" but an "intourist." His status as an “intourist’’ had some advantages and a few dis advantages, he found. He didn’t have to wait in a line three fourths of a mile long, as the Rus sian “tourist” did at Lenin’s tomb. He found numerous ob stacles in the way of seeing what he wasn't supposed to see, how ever. As a business man, Mr. Cham bers is extremely interested in banking. By sheer persistence, he forced a very little information from a reluctant Russian banker on a system which seemed to him to allow much room for graft, It seems, as far as he could dis cover, that a Russian’s piece-wor wages are n6t paid to him direct ly, but deposited in the savings i bank, from which he is allowed to draw his rubles as he needs them. Saving Explained To teach him how to save, the bank official explained—at least once a year he must change from one passbook to another. He may change as often as twice in three years, but if he neglects to do so he will have no money in the bank after the end of the year. Another “off the reservation" i adventure gave him a look at the | Soviets' handling of the vodka business. Along the tourist track, he remarked, he saw no drunken men. Using a five-dollar bill as an argument, however, he obtain ed the services of a guide through the part of Leningrad not usually visited by the "intourist.” Drunks Obsorvejl The same evening he saw fromj 250 to 350 men lying in the streets dead drunk. Within an hour after \ the worker of U. S. S. R. buys his bottle of government vodka, he said, he is unconscious and will be I unable to work for two days. The [ government deducts the two days' 1 pay, and the ex-celebrant works his five out of every six days and saves up for another bottle. Mr. Chambers spoke at length of the Russian unit, which con | tains the factory, school, store, i park, rest-house, nursery, and hos 1 pital. He also described Russian “open" stores, in which prices are 8 to 10 times higher than in the unit stores, and the “Torxin” stores, in which only foreign money is taken, but in which prices are reasonable. PROFESSORS AIR VIEWS ON NEW PHILIPPINE BILL (Continued from Page One) from all strings of sentiment and consciousness and centers square ly in the desire of certain interests to put the uncomfortable competi tion of the islands outside our tar iff wall.” Dr. Smith presented the first | half of a 30-minute address, in i which he opposed Philippine inde - pendence at the present time, on a kspecial Emerald-of-the-Air pro When Yale Danced Till Noon And 'Prom’ Girls Paraded By ELINOR HENRY Youth may be flaming nowa days, but it would take a “hot crowd" indeed to equal this story discovered by the editor of “Two Decades Ago" in the Emerald for January IS, 1913. “NEWHAVEN Conn., Jan. 16.— Yale’s world famous elm tree shiv ered today, not with cold, but with the shocking remembrances of the spectacles attendant upon the 'prom' just passed. “The faculty are also shivering and preparing to prevent a recur rence of the cause of their shivers, which was the frightful modern gram, over KORE last night at. 7:15. Dr. Smith cited at least five reasons why a severance of the is lands from the United States is most inadvisable. The geographical position is a strong factor in favor of control and protection by the U. S.; the tropical light and climate place the Filipinos at a disadvantage physically and mentally, for which some compensation in the form of protection and guidance should be provided, Dr. Smith declared. Religious sects, racial classes and castes, difficulties of trans portation and communication, and educational limitations are other factors which must be seriously considered before any rash policy of complete freedom is adopted, the Oregon geologist said. Tonight at 7:15 Dr. Smith will conclude his arguments in another 15-minute Emerald'Of-the-Air pro gram over KORE. 30 DELEGATES HERE TO OPEN PRESS CONFLAB (Continued from l\iye One) Harold J. Noble of the history de partment. .Sawyer to Speak At the afternoon general ses sion R. W. Sawyer, Bend Bulletin, will speak on “The News and Edi torial Side—How to • Exploit Its Fundamental Importance”; anc way in which the new prom girls ‘turkey trotted.' all night and un til noon, and then paraded across the campus in their ball gowns, their feet still twitching to the steps of the prohibited rag-time dance. "The faculty had forbidden the ‘trot,’ but after midnight, when most of the sterner chaperons had gone, the young folk disregarded the rule and the 'trot' and its kin dred dances were the only ones danced from then on. “ 'It was most shocking,’ said one professor’s wife, ‘and the fac ulty will take action to prevent a repetition of the spectacle.’ ’’ Walter May, Portland Oregonian, will talk on “Prospects and Stra tegies in the National Advertising Field." A business meeting of the Ore gon State Editorial association has been scheduled for 3 p. m., — over which W. Verne McKinney, Hillsboro Argus, will preside. Eugene Chamber of Commerce is host for the visitors at the Banquet at the Osburn hotel at 6:30. Eric W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism, will be toastmaster. Speakers include Dr. W. J. Kerr, chancellor of higher education, and Judge Law rence T. Harris of Eugene. The Eugene Gleemen, directed by John Stark Evans, will appear on the program. Award to be Made The award of Oregon's best 1932 weekly or semi-weekly news paper will be made at the banquet by Frank Jenkins of the Southern Oregon Publishing company, and the award of certificate will be made to the McMinnville Tele phone Register as Oregon’s best 1931 weekly or semi-weekly news paper by Setrling Green, president of Sigma Delta Chi. Following the banquet the newspapermen will be guests at the basketball game at McArthur court, their conference badges ad mitting them. General sessions will be con tinued tomorrow. ? { > . : ) .
