Thaeher, professor of English and business administration, are conducting an interesting survey to obtain facts as to the buying capacities and habits of college students. This survey is being conducted for the Emerald, one of the nine Pacific coast newspapers included in the major college publications. The members of the advanced ad vertising class, advertising prob lems. are acting as supervisors of the investigators who are in the general advertising class. They are now circulating 600 questionnaires on the campus, dis tributing them carefully among the different classes, freshman, sophomore, graduate, etc., also among men and women, and among fraternity and non-fratern ity and non-fraternity students. Eventually all these data will be compiled with those of the other eight colleges, and the resulting information will be sold to nation al advertisers regarding the use of college newspapers a: advertising media. CINEMA COLONI A L—“Roar of the Dragon,” featuring Richard Dix. Showing for today only. McDonald - "Hell's High way,” starring Richard Dix. Showing for two days. Tonight's Dime Nite attraction promises to be one packed full of j thrills, and chills, yes, thrills and j chills. "Roar of the Dragon” is I the name of the film and has such i well known actors as Richard Dix, Edward Everett Horton, and Ar- I line Judge in the cast. "Trailing the Killer” is the big ' attraction at the Colonial which is coming tomorrow for four days. [ This picture will be a welcome re- j lief to theatre goers as it contains many out-of-door scenes. The j principal actors are wild animals, it*ai vvuu auuuats, wnu pro vide more than one thrill as they go through their paces. * * * Another one of those fine Dix pictures is showing at the McDon ald for two days, it is ‘‘Hell's Highways.” and is said to be bet ter than “Chain Gang,” one of his latest successes. The cast includes Richard Dix, Tom Brown, Rochelle Hudson, and others. “Son Daughter” comes to the McDonald Thursday for a three day run. This picture has an Oriental setting and has a stellar cast of which some of the main characters are Helen Hayes, Ra mon Novarro, Lewis Stone, and Warner Oland. Novarro has an entirely new type of role in this film but plays it with a good deal of convincingness. Merle Chessman Is Elected Prexy Of Press Group Oregon Editors Accept Invitation i Of Corvallis Business Men For 1933 Convention Merle Chessman, editor and pub | lisher of the Astorian-Budget, was elected president, and George Turnbull, professor of journalism, secretary, as the last official acts of the Oregon Press conference which closed here Saturday after noon. Chessman succeeds Thomas Nelson of the Junction City Times. The other official business of the closing luncheon was the in duction into Alpha Delta Sigma, professional fraternity in advertis ing, of Lucien Arant of the Baker Democrat-Herald, and George Mc Murphy of the Chet Crank Adver tising agency of Portland. Mr. Chessman has been editor of the Astoria paper since 1919. Prior to that he had been with the Pendleton East Oregonian. He was graduated from the Uni versity in 1909. Mr. Turnbull has been secretary of the conference since 1920. The first year of the organization, 1919, Elbert Bede of the Cottage Grove Sentinel, was secretary treasurer. At the next meeting, as it was voted to do away with dues and funds, the office was changed and Mr. Turnbull was ; elected the first secretary. He has held that office continuously since. The editors, in their morning session, voted to hold the 1933 convention of Oregon State Edi torial association in Corvallis. The invitation to do so was extended by the chamber of commerce of that city. 'Daily newspaper circulation in 1932 was discussed by Gerald S. Garner, circulation manager of the Eugene Register-Guard, to open the morning session. He ex plained various methods used in | this region to maintain the volume of circulation. This same problem, but from the weekly’s standpoint, was dis cussed by R. B. Swenson of the Monmouth Herald. Dr. Victor P. Morris, professor of economics, spoke on the economist’s view point of present conditions. Considerable comment was aroused by Mr. Chessman’s talk i on the manner in which the daily newspaper has been meeting the problems of the present business conditions. The same topic was covered from the weekly angle in a preceding talk by H. L. St. Clair of the Gresham Outlook. An increase in the sale of adver tising was reported by Alice Vitus of the Klamath Falls News and Herald, in her accounts of experi ences as an advertising sales woman in the southern Oregon city. She explained several de vices that have aided her greatly in getting new accounts. SUNDAY'S SYMPHONY CONCERT WELL LIKED (Continued from Par/c One) from strings and the French horn section.

This is the last of a four lecture series on Lhis question. small stringed ensemble, and the bizarre themes and near-harmon ies of Prokofieff’s “Overture on Jewish Themes,’’ accentuated by the contrast with Mozart formal ity, was nevertheless very well re ceived by the audience. Francs Brockman was not only an ecxeptionally skillful violinist Sunday; she was very much of a human being. The Bruch concerto was a fine medium for her more recently developed a b i li ty to “emote” her performance. The first two movements, with full or chestra accompaniment, were fine from every point of view. Mrs. Underwood accompanied «t the piano in the concluding movement, and though this last section was perhaps the most brilliant of the three, the psychological effect of dropping from full orchestra to piano alone dampened the spon taneous ovation which Miss Brock man deserved. With the success Qf the new A. S. U. O. concert policy established at first trial, students and towns people are looking forward to the remaining concerts on the series of twelve. The Eugene Gleemen will present their annual winter con cert at McArthur court next Sun day afternoon. University students will again be admitted without charge. Sigma Xi To Meet The Oregon chapter of Sigma Xi, national science honorary, will meet with the Corvallis group to day. Custom requires the visiting group to provide the program. Prof. L. F. Henderson and Prof. Warren D. Smith of the Univer sity of Oregon will speak on dif ferent phases of the biology and geology of Alaska. An informal dinner will be served at 6:30 p. m., before the program is given. ANOTHER GREAT HIT SHOW!! F Matinee Every Day r.t I P. M. 0 MCROISAI_ a baminuous SAT. SUN. HOL.

It is composed of business officers of the university. All other athlet ic business is handled by the de partment of physical education and athletics. The campus publications are su pervised by an officer appointed by the dean of students and known as the student publisher. He is nominated by the student commit tee.

Dramatic and musical activities of the students are controlled by a board of appointed students which is paralleled by two faculty members, the director of dramat ics and the chairman of the de partment of music. All women’s organizations, in cluding social clubs, come under the authority of the board of wo men's organizations, composed of students. There are no sororitici on the Chicago campus. Social affairs arc administered by the social committee, whose members are appointed by the dean of students upon nomination by the student committee. Juris diction over all student activities not specified above has been con ferred upon the social committee. This includes fraternities, class councils and similar groups. All social functions, however, must be scheduled with the dean of stu dents.

These cards must be filled out and turned in at the window of the Co-op by Friday. All unaffiliated students may obtain their cards at the win dow of the Co-op and fill them i out there. These must also be in by Friday. nation, explained in a lengthy communication to the editor of the Emerald, William E. Soott of the office of the dean of students, says: “The above-described organiza tion has been in effect for one year, and from the University standpoint has been effective. As far as I know there have been no objections to it upon the part of the students. In its actual opera tion a great deal of freedom is granted to students to operate their own affairs. The present sys tem was inaugurated when it be came apparent that groups select ed by students were almost com pletely ineffectual as student gov erning agencies.” AFRAID OF EXAMS?

Those ques tioning are not interested in know ing how many facts you have but how capable you are of evaluating those facts. My forte being phil osophy, I was questioned consid Albany College Not Interested In Proposed Plan of Merger Not only the state-supported higher institutions have been pre sented with a proposal to merge, but also the independent colleges of Oregon have also received the same suggestion. Little Albany college, according to statements recently given out by F. R. Schanck, president of the board of trustees, and F. E. Callister, chair man of the executive committee of that body, is interested in no plan for merging that school with any other. On the contrary, a “ten year plan" for the development of phy sical properties, enlarging the stu dent body and strengthening en dowment is now being initiated at Albany, and will be pressed for fulfillment, it is reported. There has been a widely dis cussed proposal for uniting tkc several independent institutions of\ the state on one central campus. It is said that the idea has ema nated from Dr. Robert L. Kelly, permanent secretary of the Assc-! riation of American colleges. Dr. John Ft Dobbs, president of Pacific university, advocated the plan in several addresses, suggesting Port land as the proper place to locate such an enlarged institution re sulting from the combination. Albany college, it is understood, j is was the University of Oregon,! is opposed to the merger plan be cause it does not like to lose its dentity. Willamette university, as was Oregon State, is in fwor of he proposal if Salem were made the seat of the merged schools. In a survey prepared by Victor D. Carson at Salem and published n the Oregon, Linfield college and Reed college are opposed to the nerger move. erably about scientific methods.” In reply to a rather persotuil question, he replied: “I’m 23 and st ill eligible.” Luckily for Stuurman, Oxford scholars are not allowed to be married while attending school. Despite this ruling, the tall, slen der, thoughtful young man will be^ hazarding a good deal. He posses ses more physical attributes than the usual Rhodes scholar, who looks as though he had always boarded and roomed in the stacks of some remote library. Concerning his schooling and background, Stuurman answered: “In my home my family speaks three languages, Dutch, Frisian (which is similar to Anglo-Saxon), and English. This gave me a taste for linguistic idiom. Since that time I have studied French, Ger man, Latin, classical Greek and a smattering of modern Greek in prepai-ation for traveling through Greece. I have been think aerious ly of Chinese in order to get an .original slant on Oriental pottery and philosophy." Stuurman was graduated from; Calvin college in Grand Rapids, i Michigan, in 1931. He received his , B.A. degree as a major in philoso phy and finor in Greek. He came raplregon last year and lias since helcf'sthe position of assistant to Dean Rebec. His home is in Lyn den, Washington. In order that you may become personally acquainted with him, this statement will give you some idea of his mental attitude and set up: “I have no sympathy or pity for the student who has to be urged continually to work by a profes sor. School is an opportunity rath er than a task. Inspired activity vs. a prescribed program is a con dition not conducive to the best efforts of the student. There has Out of State Fees Due February I; Notices Are Sent TVTOTICES warning students ’ of the deadline on out-of state fees were mailed to all non-resident students yester day by E. P. Lyon, cashier. The fees are due on Febru ary 1, as are the final payments on the fees being paid on the installment plan. to be coordination between the two and above all a student must have the scholarly buy." "During my school years I haz arded a good deal. Rather than stay strictly to assignments I fol lowed my own inclinations and read widely. I took the chance that this type of procedure would give me sufficient reserve to meet special issues. I have always been interested in general cultureal backgrounds rather than special ized attainment. "I make a by-play of literature, especially tragedy. The back ground that this has given me was specially helpful in the examina tion. My favorite is Shakespeare. I don't want to be a literary scholar, but rather a reader of lit erature. Stuurman will sail the latter part of next September for Oxford where he will major in philosophy and read "Greats.” He declared, “The Oxford method is very popu lar with students. One has the lib erty of attending classes or not. Students are not examined until they finish the prescribed course of study. They they are examined on the entire course. "I plan to have direct contact with art, to live with the various cultures of Europe, and to dig in the bones of Greece. It quite takes my breath away to think of sail ing down the Rhine." and we’d like to talk with you about it All races of people since the beginning of time, so far as we have been able to read, have had some kind of a pipe and have smoked something—whether they called it tobacco or what not. A ND since smoking a pipe is so different -Em- from smoking a cigar or cigarette, we made a most painstaking, scientific study in an effort to make, if we could, a tobacco which was suited to pipes. We found out, first, that there was a kind of tobacco that grew in the Blue Grass section of Kentucky called White Burley, and that there was a certain kind of this tobacco which was between the tobacco used for cigarettes and the to« bacco used for chewing tobacco. It is this tobacco which is best for pipes. We found out that Mr. J. N. Wellman, many years ago, made a pipe tobacco which was very popular. But it was never advertised and after he passed away nothing more was heard about it. We acquired this Wellman Method and that i» wrliat we use in making Granger. ©1 ?33 ” tlGGEH «. MYERS TOBACCO CO. •• The Granger pouch keeps the tobacco fresh Next was the cut. We knew that fine tobacco burnt hot because it burnt so fast. You could hardly hold your pipe in your hand, it got so hot at times. So remembering how folks used to "whittle ’ their tobacco we cut GRAINGER just like "whittle” tobacco—"Rough Cut.” It smokes cooler, lasts longer and never gums the pipe. So far, so good. Now we wanted to sell ibis tobacco for 10c. Good tobacco — right process — cut right. So we put Granger in a sensible soft foil pouch instead of an expensive package, knowing that a man can’t smoke the package. GRAINGER has not been on sale very long, hut it has become a popular smoke. And vve have yet to know of a man who started to smoke it, who didn’t keep on. Folks seem to like it. (Sr.
