Annual Senior
Ball Scheduled
To Be Formal
Black Canopy, Mirrors
Decoration Feature
CO AN DOES LIGHTING
Rhythm Club, Ten-Piece Band
Will Furnish Music for
Dance
Complete details for the annual
senior ball, most formal campus
dance, scheduled for February 4,
at Gerlinger hall, were released
last night by Chuck Stryker, gen
eral chairman for the event.
In keeping with past traditions,
the dance will be strictly formal.
“According to the long standing
traditions of the senior ball, tux
edos will be featured in full. This
will exclude the freshmen,” stated
Stryker.
Motif Something New
John Gould and Parker Favier,
who are in charge of decorations,
have announced a unique motif
consisting of an over-hanging
black canopy, and the placing of
mirrors at odd angles reflecting
still life set-ups in a modernistic
note. John Stark is handling the
job of hanging the canopy and
side drops. Purple drapes and the
slanting lights from colored spots
will lend further atmosphere of
formality. Frank Wilke, who has
had wide experience in decorating
in California, has been placed in
charge of construction. Bert Coan,
whose ability in lighting has been
displayed in his work for the cam
pus productions of Hamlet and
the Beggar’s Opera, will handle
lighting.
Arrangements nave been made
by Ed Bolds with the “Rhythm
Club,’’ 10-piece orchestra which
has been playing at the Campa
Shoppe to furnish the music. Fea
tures will be supplied by Wilbur
Thibault and Billy Sievers.
Floor To Be Renovated
The floor at Gerlinger hall has
been carefully studied and will be
processed to insure smoothness
and total absence of its usual
gummy condition. Fred Schaefer
and a crew of men will roll corn
meal into the floor, dusting it af
terwards.
Larry Fischer, in charge of the
programs, promises an unusual
design in keeping with the general
motif of the ball.

all living organizations and are

Apples in Mouses
fT'ODAY begins the annual ap
pie sale of frosh commis
sion. This year, however, a
new idea has been installed, and
the apples will be covered with
candy—either taffy or caramel,
whichever the buyer prefers.
Apples will be sold for 10 cents
each.
One girl in each living organ
ization is in charge of selling
the apples in her house. Two
girls will visit each men’s liv
ing organization at noon today
to sell apples.
Apples will not be available
on the campus today, but may
be obtained tomorrow at a
booth in front of the Co-op.
Male Chorus Will
Present Sunday’s
Musical Program
Large Attendance Expected for
Concert To Be Held at
McArthur Court
Three University students will
be soloists in the annual winter
concerts to be presented by the
Eugene Gleemen, civic male cho
rus, at McArthur court next Sun
day afternoon. Howard Halbert,
student of Rex Underwood, will
play the Mendelssohn concerto for
violin; George Bishop will sing
three baritone solos and Donald
Eva will be a tenor soloist.
The Gleemen concert is the sec
ond on the series of 12 musical
events being sponsored by the As
sociated Students. University stu
dents will be admitted free. Last
winter’s Gleemen program drew
one of the largest concert crowds
on record in Eugene, and next
Sunday’s audience is expected to
approach in size the crowd of
2500 which heard the University
Symphony orchestra’s concert last
Sunday.
The Gleemen consist of 75 picked
voices, selected by rigid trials from
business and professional men of
Eugene. During the five years
that they have been directed by
John Stark Evans, of the Univer
sity music faculty, they have at
tracted wide attention throughout
the Northwest, with concerts in
cities as far as Seattle on their
record. Last spring they went on
the air over a national radio hook
up from Eugene.

Jewell Will Speak
At Honorary Meet
“Maintaining a Philosophy of
Education” will be the title of an
address to be given by Dean J. R.
Jewell of the school of education
at a meeting of Pi Lambda Theta,
women’s honorary in education,
Thursday at 4:30 p. m. in Gerlin
ger hall.
This meeting will assume the
nature of a discussion among
those present on various phases of
the women’s work in education.
As a special feature the annual
“News Letter” which is edited by
Elinor Clark will be distributed to
club members.
Tea will be served and in order
to acquaint those on the campus
with the work of Pi Lambda
Theta, all women students in the
University are invited to attend.
Dr. William Freyer Speaks
At Portland on Governments
And where do we go from here?
That is a ‘question which was
brought strongly home to us of
the University of Oregon by Dr.
William Freyer, world traveler and
student in governmental affairs,
who spoke at Portland last Sun
day on “Democracy, Communism,
or Fascism?”
What is this country going to
do? It is up to us.
It cannot but be admitted that
democracy, as we find it today,
is a failure. Even waiving aside
the great turmoil of present eco
nomic affairs, which shows that
something is radically wrong, the
corruption in our city, state, and
federal government offers unde
batable proof that our system of
government is not the democracy
our fathers planned.
It is we students of the Ameri
can universities upon whom the
future of the country will rest. In
a short while—one, two, three-and
a-half years—we shall be part of
the bulwark of the business world.
It is up to us to find a method for I
successful government—a remedy
for the present economic condi- j
tions.
Especially important to the fu-,
ture are the students of the jour- ]
nalism school. For they are the
ones who will manage the most
far-reaching incluence of the pres
ent time—the press. It is up to
the journalism student of today—
the editors, publishers, and writers
of tomorrow, to find a path out
of the economic chaos of this day.
It is up to them to help build the
future, by moulding into proper
shape that power which is the fi
nal censor of the government—
public opinion.
What do we think of the pres
ent situation, anyway? We must
understand the conditions of the
government, of international rela
tions, of the economic strife, in or
der to find any remedy for them.
And that remedy must be found
soon . . .
After all, .we are living in a
time which is more interesting
than any former age. It is fun to
think of the unexpectedness of the
future. We may see an entirely
new system of government from
what we now have. Almost any
thing may happen. The world is
at a jumping-off place. Whether
it falls into the abyss or makes
the leap across in safety is up to
us.

Barter Relieves Depression;
Trade Replaces Cash Sales
By CARL KRANMER
YELLOW SPRINGS, Ohio, Jan.
24.—(API —Barter, the most prim
itive method of exchange, is being
introduced into the commercial life
of this small college community to
smooth some of the rough spots of
the depression.
In a small store building here
the Yellow Springs Exchange has
been set up under the leadership
of Arthur E. Morgan, president of
Antioch college, to trade labor,
goods and services without the use
of money.
In order to minimize bookkeep
ing, certificates called “exchange
credits’’ in $5, $1, 50-fcient, 25-cent
and 10-cent denominations have
been issued.
Here the farmer brings his pota
toes, wheat or popcorn and re
ceives scrip in payment. With the
scrip he buys groceries or other
goods at the exchange, or obtains
the services of his physician who
is a member of the exchange and
who uses the scrip to buy potatoes,
flour or popcorn.
Supplementing the local ex
change, or retail unit, is the Mid
west Exchange, which corresponds
to a wholesale unit. This organiza
tion arranges trades with nearby
manufacturers and obtains neces
sary products outside the commun
ity.
In operation since October 1, the
Yellow Springs Exchange has a
stock of goods, purchased with
scrip, valued at $1,300 wholesale.
In addition there is about $2,000
worth of goods consigned to the
exchange for trade, upon which
the exchange receives a commis
sion.
With approximately $1,000 in
scrip outstanding, nearly that
amount goes over the counter
weekly. C. A. Bock, general man
ager of the exchange, says the ex
change is stimulating community
business.
Within two weeks after its es
tablishment the Midwest Exchange
handled $2,000 in products on a
barter basis. It lists 70 manufac
turers and producers among its
members and is prepared to deal in
brooms, aluminum and steel uten
sils, soap, food products and gro
ceries, candy, flour, bread, dairy
products, nursery stock, paints,

Sigma Xi Has Meet
With O.S.C. Group
—
The members of Sigma Xi, na
tional science honorary, attended
a joint dinner meeting with the
Oregon State members yesterday
at Corvallis.
After the dinner, which was at
6:30 in the Memorial Union build
ing, Dr. Warren D. Smith, profes
sor of geology at this University,
read a paper concerning the geolo
gic forms in Alaska, and Professor
Louis F. Henderson, curator of the
University herbarium, gave a pa
per on the flora of Alaska.
Dr. Smith and Professor Hender
son received part of the informa
tion for their papers while on a

group of students, last summer.
YWCA Office Girls Will
Entertain at ‘Kid’ Party
Y. W. C. A. office girls are en
tertaining this evening at the Y.
W. bungalow with a “kid party,”
at 7 o’clock.
A program will be given and
refreshments will be served dur
ing the evening.
1 Margaret Osborne is in charge.
Dr. Nelson Addresses
Eugene Rotary Club
Dr. Milton N. Nelson, econ
omics department, Oregon State
college, spoke at the weekly noon
meeting of the Eugene Rotary
club yesterday.
Dr. Nelson spoke on the allot
ment plan for farm relief. He
said he doubted the workability
of the plan even if the bill should
be passed by the senate.
The Weather
Both rain and snow appeared in
Eugene yesterday with the tem
perature remaining low. Snow,
coming in the afternoon, fell thick
and fast for a few minutes but
melted upon falling.
Daily Forecast: generally cloudy
with rains west portion and oc
casional snow east portion. Strong
southerly winds and gales off
shore, shifting to northwest.
Local Statistics: minimum tem
perature yesterday, 34 degrees.
Precipitation. .46 of an inch. Wil
lamette river, 1 foot. Wind from
southeast.
Reversed Crawl
Likely Result of
Meeting Tonight
rpHE interfraternity council
will meet this afternoon to
vote upon the reversed dime
crawl, scheduled for February
5, as recommended by the
A. W. S. council. The meet
ing will be held in room 110
Johnson hall at 4 o'clock.
At 9 o’clock last night eight
out of ten men’s houses had in
dicated to the A. W. S. officials
in charge that they were in fa
vor of acting as hosts to the
women on Dime Crawl night,
j-ather than the customary
crawl. It is anticipated that
the vote of tlje interfraternity
council will be substantially
the same.
The question, A. W. S. offi
cials declare, is simply a matter
of making the most money
from the event. The reversed
crawl, as demonstrated * last
year, will return about $50
more than the old-time crawl
to the student loan fund, from
which more men than women
are borrowing. The fund at this
time is very low and has re
cently been as low as five or
ten dollars.
The council has suggested
that the men should be willing
to devote one hour to the
building of the loan fund.
Writing Honorary
Will Meet Tonight
Ye Tabard Inn. local chapter of
Sigma Upsilon, national writing
honorary fraternity for men, will
meet tonight at the home of Pro
fessor W. F. G. Thacher to initiate
six new members.
The neophytes, chosen at a re
cent meeting of the group because
they have shown particular inter
est and ability in creative writing,
are Parks Hitchcock, J. F. Rich
ardson, Clyde Dodge, Charles Hol
loway, Roland McMastrs, and
Ethan Newman.
Ye Tabard Inn is one of the old
est national honoraries on the cam
pus, having been granted its char
ter in 1915, largely because of the
interest of Edison Marshall, fic
tion writer.
University faculty members be
longing to the local chapter are
Professors W. F. G. Thacher, Pat
V. Morrissette, and Kenneth Shu
maker.

MANAGER CONTROLS
Books Checked Yearly by Public

By JULIAN PRESCOTT
Problems of government of stu
dent activities at New York uni
versity have been met in much the
same manner as is advocated here
by the Emerald. Athletics are
supervised entirely \fy the faculty.
Other activities are handled by
faculty and student groups.
A university board of athletic
control determines all policies;
having to do with the sports out
side of student extra-curricular
endeavor. Direct charge of the
business growing out of the sports
program has been given to a grad
uate manager under whose direc
tion receipt and disbursement of
money is handled. He also has
charge of the scheduling of games,
under the advice of the board.
Accounts Audited Yearly
The accounts of the graduate
! manager are audited annually by
the same firm of certified ac
countants who check the general
university accounts. A report of
this audit is given to the treasurer
of the university.
Included in the sports budget
are intramural as well as inter
collegiate items. The board of
control has established the policy
of fostering all-around athletics
for as many students as possible
and it is toward this end that the
two divisions of sports have been
included in the same budget.

Two Are Killed in
Airplane Crash at
Eugene Airport
Accident Occurs as Pilot Takes
Off From Landing Field,
Observers Say
Kenneth Householder, Roseburg,
co-pllot of the United Airplanes
tri-motored transport plane that
crashed near the Eugene airport
at 1:30 p. m. yesterday, taking th2
life of Harold Adams, pilot, for
merly of Eugene, died yesterday
afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in the
Pacific Christian hospital, accord
ing to reports made to the Emer
ald office last night. Cornelia Pe
derson, the stewardess, suffered a
badly fractured left ankle, shock,
bruises about the body, and sev
eral broken bones in her right leg.
The plane, an all-metal Ford
monoplane, was taking off from
the field after stopping here on
account of the weather earlier in
the day. The ship was heading
northwest off the field and ac
cording to observers, struck one
of the boundary lights of the field
just north of the hangar. The pi
lot managed to gain a little alti
tude then, but the undercarriage
caught on a telephone pole and
threw the plane out of control.
The heavy plane veered into an
uninhabited house of the street
and burst into flames. The house
was knocked six feet off its foun
dations by the force of the com
pact.
The plane was broken in two
at the center and the wing and the
forepart were consumed by the
flames which also burned the
wreckage of the house. The rear
of the plane was pulled from the
flames, but was badly burned. The
accident was blamed by G. W.
Neel, aeronautical inspector, who
; came down from Portland, on the
slowing down of the left motor of
the plane as it left the field.

Salary Cuts Will
Start January 15
To Shave Costs
Dr. H. V. Hoyt, Dean of Business
School, Selected as Temporary
Adviser for New Plan
Salaries of Oregon's highc r edu
cation employees will be re luced
as of January 15 instead of July
1. This was the action decided up
on by the state board of higher
education Monday night in its
Portland meeting.
The advance of the date was
one of several changes made in
an effort to shave down the ex
penses of the state's educational
institutions fo fit a greatly re
duced income. These included
transferring the business office
from Salem to Corvallis and re
questing the legislature to amend
the law to abolish the office of ex
ecutive secretary.
The, salaries are cut on the fol
lowing impale: 9 per cent on the
first $1000 of income, 14 per cent
on the spcond $1000, 20 per cent
on the third, 25 per cent on the
fourth, and 27 per cent on all
above $4000.
Hoyt Makes Statement
Dr. V. H. Hoyt, dean of the
school of business here, was se
lected as temporary supervisor for
the hew plan. Two divisions will
be made, department of requisi
tions and claims and audits and
accounts. Dr. Hoyt will have
charge of the two divisions as well
as business representatives on the
campuses. A statistician will be
located here in connection with the
chancellor's office.
Referring- to the new plan, Dr.
Hoyt said:
“Staff members, who are rated
as experts in this work, will be
called upon to aid in solving the
problems. In the past these staff
members have cooperated with
this work, but in the future this
will become a duty and they will
keep a close watch on the business

Technocracy Offers No Plan
For Reform, Says Crumbaker
(Editor’s Note: Mr. Crumbak
er here presents part of an ar
ticle on conflicting proposals
presented by technocracy. Part
two, to be published later, will
conclude the complete series on
technocracy.)
By CALVIN CRUMBAKER)
Associate Professor of Economics
(As Told to Jack Bellinger)
What are the specific proposals
of technocracy for the reorgani
zation of economic society? The
body called "The Technocrats," has
denied that it has any plan for i
reform, or that it needs propose j
any such plan. Its function is to
analyze the system and to de
scribe what it finds. When faults
are exposed and possibilities out
lined, reforms are left to those
whose business it is to reform.
While claiming immunity for his
own organization, the head of
technocracy has challenged eco
nomic science for not having per
fected needed reforms, saying that
economics is about as good as
bridge (he did not say whether
contract or auction). In their ■
own part economists deny that
they are supposed to do more than
study the economic mechanism,
seeking the laws and principles
which control it. In no sense is
the economist in active control of
economic affairs. Business men,
engineers, and politicians adminis
ter (and execute) the machine,
calling upon the economist, and
listening to his advice, only after
affairs are in a hopeless muddle.
To put the shoe on the other
foot, technocracy should be held
responsible for definite proposals
refusal to assume such a responsi
bility. Its very diagnosis implicit
ly proposes changes, by stating the
characteristics which the society
should have, or those which it
should not have. The economist,
seeking to get a complete view of
the kind of society which would
conform to technocracy’s ideas,
must follow the method of the pa
leontologist, who if he can find so
much as the middle toenail of the
left hind foot of the eohippus, will
construct the complete skeleton.
Out of the fragmentary and some
what incoherent statements of
technocracy, if enough gaps are
filled in, through the scientific
method followed by the geologist,
it is possible to work out the gen
eral outline of a plan. In fact it
is possible to work out two dis
