Control Functions
LIKE EMERALD PLAN
State of A. S. U. W. Finances
Make Changes Imperative,
Regents Decide
(Editor's* vote: Recently the Emerald
proposed a general plan for the reorgani
zation of Oregon's student government,
the main features of which would be a
faculty legislative body and an advisory
student parliament. In the following story
Mr. Prescott tells how a system similar to
that which the Emerald suggests has beer,
inaugurated successfully at one of the na
tion's leading colleges.)
By JULIAN PRESCOTT
Reorganization of the system of
control for student extra-curricu
lar activities at the University of
Washington will be one of the
first problems to face the new
board of regents there, communi
cations from Seattle campus indi
cate. The new board was ap
pointed last week by Governor
Martin.
It is expected that both athletic
and non-athletic activities will be
put under the control of faculty
committees. This change is anti
cipated because of the condition
into which the A. S. U, W.
finances -have slipped.
Emerald Plan Similar
At the same time that the gov
ernor was naming a new board
of directors, a sub-committee of
the A. S. U. W. submitted a re
port proposing a faculty-student
alumni board of control and a
student advisory council.. The lat
ter group would have powers simi
lar to those advocated by the
Emerald for a student senate here.
This board of control, to be
similar to the executive council of
the A. S. U. O., would be com
posed of four faculty members,
four student members and one
alumni member. The faculty mem
bers would be named by the presi
dent of the university, the stu
dents elected by the student body
and the alumni member appoint
ed by the president from three
graduates nominated by the alum
ni association.

Appointments on
Emerald’s Staff
Listed by Green
Changes Occur In Editorial Posts
Caused by Resignations of
Members
Announcement of new appoint
ments on the Emerald staff were
made last night by Sterling Green,
managing editor. The staff, with a
few revisions, will remain substan
tially the same as last term, Green
declared.
Esther Hayden, senior in jour
nalism, was named society editor
to succeed Eloise Dorner, whose
resignation was accepted last i
week.
Bob Moore, freshman in jour-'
nalism, takes over the post of chief
night editor, left vacant last week
by Leslie Dunton, junior in social
sciences.
New night editors appointed i

heart, Elrria Giles, Carmen Blaise,
Bernice Priest, and Dorothy Paley.
Appointees to the reporting staff

Audrey Clark, Don Olds, and Bill
Belton. New copyreaders are
Catherine Coppers, Bingham Pow
ell, and Claire Bryson.
Application for work as assist
ant night editors are now being
received, Green said.
Teachers’ Bureau
Here Places Many
ml
Despite the fact that the Uni
versity of Oregon appointment
bureau is operating with an ap
preciably smaller staff and budget
than many colleges of similar size,
the accomplishments rate very
favorably, according to Miss Ida
Pope, secretary of the bureau.
While on a vacation last fall
Miss Pope visited a number of uni
versity placement offices in the in
terest of the University of Oregon.
Among the schools visited were
the University of Minnesota, Uni
versity of Chicago, University of
Cincinnati, Ohio State University,
and the University of North Caro
lina.
Conditions were studied in these
schools and suggestions were re
ceived. Most of the eastern schools
are facing the same problem as
this university in the placement of
teachers
Crowds Acclaim Gleemen’s
Concert; Soloists Praised
By BETTY OHLEMILLER
One of the most varied and en
tertaining programs presented this
season was Sunday's concert of
the Eugene Gleemen. With heads
thrown back, smiling, the Eugene
Gleemen under the baton of John
Stark Evans added “better to
"great” in the estimation of what
was probably the largest crowd to
ever hear a McArthur court con
cert.
A black patch over his eye, a
threatening swagger, and John !
Radmore, baritone soloist was the !
pirate in Gilbert’s “Pirate Song.’’ i
Giving an excellent voice full play
he roared the "Yo ho ho, and a 1
bottle of rum” with bucaneer!
bravado.
Full-toned and organ-like the
voices of the Eugene Gleemen re
sounded throughout McArthur
court. In perfect accord with the
will of their director, they modu
lated from the highest crescendo
the softest echoing pianissimo.
Encoring Brown and Hender
son’s "That’s Why Darkies Were 1
Born,” George Bishop laughed
with his audience, sang to it, and
thrilled it. Two Russian numbers. ■
Rimsky-Korsakoff’s “Russian Car
ol" and a Russian popular song
“Dark Eyes" were lovely with the
tragic minor harmonies of the
Russian composer.
Adding new lustre to a bright
reputation, Howard Halbert, in the
last two movements of Mendels
sohn’s “Concerto in E Minor,”
showed again his ability to draw
the very soul out of his music.
Don Eva, tenor soloist and Mr.
Halbert, with a background of
humming voices of the Gleemen
and the melodious accompaniment
of Cora Moore, presented the “Ave
Maria" of Franz Schubert."
With the basses creating the ef
fect of the old-fashioned hand-or
gan, Othegraven’s “The Hand
Organ Man,” with its German dia
lect made a humorous contrast to
the andante “Findlandia," by Si
belius.
The beating of the rain on the
sky-lights caused the audience to
look fearfully upward. But the
stirring Welsh battle air, “Men of
Harlech" effaced all thought of
other than the present in the
thrilling pleasure of good music
well sung.
Seattle Club Heads Youths Jobward
More than a “flophouse,” is this Seattle home for homeless boys. It maintains u rigid schedule of
activities for the youths who make it their home. In addition to providing a meal and a lied, instructive
recreation is carried on extensively. Above we see a group of Inmates singing and engaged in work at
the club printing press. The object of the cluh being to provide the boy with instruction and amuse
ment while he Is seeking for a job.

Rating Committee
Reports Average
Instructor’s Load
School of Business Administration
Shows 50 Hours a Week
Usual Time
The average load for instructors
in the school of business admini
stration is 50 hours per week, the
report recently submitted to Dean
H. V. Hoyt by the load rating
committee of that school, indi
cates. The nighest load is 71
hours, while the lowest is 41.
The total load for each instruc
tor a week is the sum of the
actual hours of course load plus
other University service load. The
former is the time consumed for
direct preparation of material, the
reading and grading of test papers,
the examination of other hand-ins,
and student conferences relating
to a particular course taken.
Under the University service
load are included number of hours
spent for research work, necessary
travel, keeping up-to-date in the
field, fraternity advisory work,
public addresses, conferences with
business men in the state, faculty
meetings, etc.
The study undertaken by the
above committee is said to be the
first of its kind in the University,
and perhaps in any other insti
tution in the United States. A
formula was developed for taking
account for all the factors in cal
culating the load when the num
ber of students attending class is
known.
The load rating committee which
prepared the report is composed
of three professors in the school
of business administration: J. H.
Bond, chairman; E. B. Mittelman,
and C. L. Kelly, members.

Ex-Oregonian Writes
Book Explaining Logic
Miller Chapman, who received
his master’s degree in philosophy
at the University of Oregon in
1928, now assistant in philosophy
at Harvard university, has writ
ten a book called “The Funda
mentals of Logic.’’
The book was written in col
laboration with Paul Henle, an
other assistant in philosophy at
Harvard, and has bee/ published
by Charles Scribners’ sons this
year.
Mr. Chapman graduated from
Ohio State university in 1922 and
attended the University here from

Saturday Is Last
Day for Second
Fee Installment
Five hundred students have
yet to pay the second install
ment of their registration fee,
and only five days remain be
fore it is due, E. P. Lyon, cash
ier, said yesterday, here are
also 130 non-resident students
who must pay the non-resident
tuition by Saturday.
Less than 100 students have
paid the second installment so
far. Mr. Lyon said these should
be paid immediately to avoid
the last minute rush on Satur
day.
Change in Rules
Denied by Dean
Mrs. Hazel Prutsman Schwering,
dean of women, denied rumors of
a new set of regulations yesterday.
The rumors were many and varied
and promised a strict regime.
Mrs. Schwering said a possible
basis for the rumors was that her
office had been calling attention
to rules that have been in effect
for some time.
The rumors concerned both
men’s and women’s social regula
tions, but the women’s rules were
stressed in the reports. An ad
vance in the hours which women
are to keep was included in the
reports.
Virgil Earl, dean of men, could
not be reached for a statement
last night.

FAMILY IS TRACED
Modern Man, With Experience,
Should Be Happily Wed,
Faster Avers
By PEGGY CHESSMAN
By contrasting the various ele
ments that make up the heritage
in the history of marriage, Dr.
Harold Leonard Bowman, pastor
of the First Presbyterian church
of Portland, brought forward the
idea that now is the most ideal
time in all history for marriage to
be made successful, happy, beau
tiful, and satisfactory. Men and
women, he explained, are now
equipped to enter the institution
fully aware of all implications.
The advancement of science and
intellectual freedom has developed
personal rights and responsibilities
and has fitted marriage to the
needs of men and women.
In dipping into the past to make
a resume of marriage, Dr. Bow
man began with the pre-human
type of life, when living was cre
ated by the hunger and reproduc
tive impulses. From that stage
came the period known as the pro
longation of infancy, in which the
family was begun, and the urge
was made for mutual aid, rather
than the survival of the fittest.
This era was soon molded into
the consciousness of paternal re
lationship, and the real beginning
of conscious life.
First Union Made
As time progressed, there ap
peared the savage development of
marriage in its extremely crude
form. Into this stage were de
veloped poilgamy and mologamy,

Nine Groups Are
Asked to Turn in
Seal Sale Money
Is it possible that nobody bought
any Christmas health seals this
year in seven of the men's and
two of the women’s living organi
zations on the campus ? Mrs.
Frank Chambers, chairman of the
seal sale committee of the Lane
County Public Health association,
is wondering. In previous sales,
practically every group has turned
in something.
A total of $70.76 was contribut
ed by the houses and dorm units
which have reported, and La Casa
Filipina. Mrs. Chambers believes
that the nine remaining organiza
tions have only been negligent in
making returns, and that they will
do so before she must close her
books, shortly after February 1.
Two of the houses on the list were
among the largest contributors to
the anti-tuberculosis drive last
year.

Conklin Tells Meaning
Of Worship to Campus
In explaining his conception of
the meaning of worship to the stu
dent groups of the various church
es at the Y.W.C.A. bungalow Sun
day evening, Dr. Conklin wove into
this theme the various forms of
religious experience such as con
version and mystical experiences
which all have their part in the
psychological aspects of worship.
He cited Isaiah’s call in chapter
6, Isaiah, as being an example of
psychologically arranged worship.
Following his talk Dr. Conklin
accompanied the members of the
Wesley club to the home of Hazel
and Holly Seavey where he an
swered questions relative to the
worship topic during the fireside
hour.

Millage Cut In
EducationFund
Faces Schools
Legislature Coni m itte e
Leans to Move
$1,000,000 SLASH UP
State Board Warns of Crippling,
Closing of Some Institutions
If Resolution Passes
SALEM, Jan. 30—(Special) —
! Without making further progress
towards a recommendation to be
made to the joint ways and means
committee, the sub-committee on
education was in session for three
hours Sunday night at a local
hotel. Dr. W. J. Kerr, chancellor
of higher education, attended the
meeting.
Indications at the close of the
meeting were that the committee
would recommend a cut in the
miliage appropriation, thereby
forcing the board of higher edu
cation to cut out any activities,
or any expenses, it might see fit,
with legislation enacted to give
the board that authority. A mil
iage cut of from $700,000 to
$1,000,000 is being considered.
PORTLAND, Jan. 30—(Special)
—The state board of higher educa
tion today in a formal statement
warned Oregon that any such
"further drastic reductions” as
proposed by the legislature for
the schools of higher learning
"will mean either closing some of
them, crippling all of them, or
both.”
The statement issued today was
a condensed financial statement
of the educational set-up.
The board summarized the situ
ation under 10 points.
Education to Ask No Favors
They were:
“1. Higher education in Oregon
asks no special favors or immun
ity from retrenchment.
“2. The six institutions under
the board are already operating on
an income 21.5 per cent below the
normal as of the 1929-30 biennium.
“3. Without further cuts by the
legislature this reduction will be
31.9 per cent for the coming
1933-34 biennium.
"4. The complete payroll of the
institution has already been re
duced $621,312 in the present
biennium.
“5. Further payroll reductions
ordered will bring such cuts to
$1,525,704 for the coming bien
nium, or 24.3 per cent reductions
under the 1929-30 biennium.
“6. Salary cuts of 9 to 27 per
cent have been applied to a scale
already lower than the average
for the country.
"7. Decrease in expenditures in
the instructional work already
parallels decrease in enrollment.
"8. Continuing appropriations
for agricultural extension are
automatically reduced to match
county cuts of 25 to 35 per cent.
"9. Additional slashes now pro
posed in the legislature would re
quire total income to little more
than half that of the normal
1929-30 biennium.
“10. The only way to meet such
cuts would be to close some in
stitutions outright or cripple alt

Dr. Claire Honored by Silver
Star Award for Act in War
Dr. Guy S. Claire, University
law professor, is one of the first
World war veterans to receive the
silver star, a medal authorized re
cently by congress for men who
have been cited for gallantry in
action at the front.
On an eventful day during the
Meuse - Argonne campaign Dr.
Claire, better known as Sergeant
Claire in military circles, received
his silver star for saving approxi
mately 200 wounded soldiers and
his commanding officers.
While in a large dugout, under
German artillery fire, Sergeant
Claire, being the only man to stay
after other able men scattered,
alone carried four boxes of dyna
mite, one a time, to a nearby river,
while exploding shells came near
the dynamite and the dugout was
burning, saving the wounded men
and his injured officer, who would
have been blown up had the dyna
mite exploded.
The act merited Dr. Claire a di
vision citation and the silver star
was given for the bit of heroism.
He also has the French croix de
guerre, and the Belgian war cross.
Dr. Claire served with the 28th di
vision in the Meuse,Argonne, the
Aisne - Marne, Oise - Aisne, and
Ypre-Lys campaigns. His record
also includes the capture of a Ger
man “vvhizbang," or a gun which
shoots one-pound shells. This feat
took place in the Champs des
Dames sector near Fismes.
Dr. Claire started in the war as
a buck private and ended as a first
lieutenant.
