Bowman Gives Love, Marriage Lecture Series (Continued from 1 ape Une) governed by taboo and time-old rituals and customs. Next came the patriarchal age, one of the most influential of all periods. “Marriage has developed from a man-made world,” he empha sized time and again. “The mar riage mores have always been developed from man's point of view. The outlook of marriage is still dominated ,by this attitude. In fact, we are just beginning to emerge from the influence of the patriarchal age.” Tracing marriage still farther through the Grecian, Roman, and Hebrew ages, Dr. Bowman work ed up to the outlook of Jesus on marriage, and his development of the appreciation of women. “Je sus,” he said, “set up no marriage code, but instead formed an ideal for men to follow.” Then, said Dr. Bowman, the church made its struggle for a grip on marriage, attempting to revert it from a social procedure to a rigid, canonic process. During the time of the Renais sance, there was the revolutionary change in the love and marriage | aspect of life, with the advent of romantic love, a new and different idea. It was a new era, one in which there was a personal love for an individual, a selective pro cess of an idealistic type. Luther Given Credit Dr. Bowman praised Martin Luther for having restored the true social characteristics to mar riage by effecting a blending of romantic love and marriage. In the sociological aspect of this love and marriage idea, another change evolved when, in the indus trial revolution, it was necessary for the men to leave their work : in the homes and go to the fac tories. This made woman econ omically dependent, and paved the way for the famous Victorian lady of leisure. Linking the past with the pre sent by still further contrast, Dr. Bowman stated that now, for the first time, woman may enter mar riage on an equal partnership, one in which she is considered intel lectually parallel. This present day marriage, he defines as “an endowed relationship of love be tween a man and a woman—a love such that both people are per manently developed, enriched, and enabled to reach the greatest pos sible happiness.” “Sex life is greatly hampered and handicapped by emotional in fantilism,” Dr. Bowman asserted. “A truly happy marriage is only that one in which the mates are emotionally mature, and under stand each other.” Dr. Bowman concluded his ad dress with a summary of the ideal of today as regards to marriage. These, he said, decree that there be two people who are adults emotionally, know the sex facts, love each other, plan to raise a family, and live together in the relationship of lovers.

Seeks National Title at 13 PACIFIC GROVE, Calif., Jan. 30.—(APi—Clara Callender, tall 13-year-old Pacific Grove school girl, will compete in the 1933 na tional amateur golf championship for women. Clara’s father, Elliott Callender, Del Monte pro, promised her the trip if she won the Del Monte title, equivalent to the Cali fornia championship, last fall. By BOB GUILD Movie reporters on Hearst news sheets are required by Hearst law to mention Miss Marion Da vies a considerable number of times a week; pain of dismissal, the dismal alternative, it is report ed. Ours not being of Hearst af filiation, and since we don't know the reason for the edict anyway, wc can content ourselves with say ing "Robert Montgomery in 'Blon die of the Follies’ at the Colonial tonight." Marion Davies is in the picture, however. In spite of the fact that this roaring epic of the footlights is produced at considerable expense, supports a £ood cast (Billie Dove, Schnozzle Durante), and has been generally ballyhooed from stem to stern and coast to cover, it falls short of the mark. Astute movie directors persist in miscasting Robert Montgomery. Why this un fortunate stigma pursues him is a mystery, but there it is. Given a thin role to perform, he does as well as he can. Its general un suitability is only exceeded by his role in “Faithless.” As for the two bootifuls of the cast—Billie Dove is well past the age of Broadway queens. As a matter of fact, even her beauty, which is her passport to movie fame, I’m inclined to believe is of the wrong vestige. Miss Dove (witness the name) is pre-talkie, and shows .it. Marion Davies is not being headlined. Schnozzle Durante does his best. A star or two, libertywise. * * * Charles Laughton is not one of Hollywood’s old faithfuls. In spite of his newness to the screen, his is that rare type of personality that catches the movie-public fan cy. In three pictures he has spelled success and fame for him self. With Tallullah Bankhead in "Devil and the Deep,” he hypno tized and horrified his audiences; as Dr. Moreau, in “Island of Lost Souls” his was the only good work in 90 dull minutes; in “If I “Had a1 Million," his one line and long-to be-remembered bird were a high note. There is something inexpressi bly sardonic, grim, and inflexible about this mephistophelean fat- j man. His is no shaking bowl of jelly, but rather a grim heaviness. He's a good actor. Tonight' he brings a Broadway stage success, “Payment Deferred,” to the Mc Donald. In it he spells the horri fying psychological breakdown of a man with crime-ridden soul. We are treated to the Roman spectacle \ of a man’s character disintegrat-! ing. We are promised 90 minutes of suspense. This column is inter ested and intrigued, but withholds its judgment. We’ll see. * # * Anecdote: Helen Hayes next pic ture i3 “The White Sister,” made famous by Lillian Gish. The theme closely resembles “Farewell to Arms,” Hemingway super-special which will show next week at the Mac. Hollywood says that Gary Cooper, having learned how to make love to Miss Hayes in their latest, asked for the Italian lieu tenant part in “White ‘ Sister.” Astute budgeteers might have haved some money: used the same shots; same uniform; but Tin Ears Gable got the call. Sounds like virility and that rarest flower, in nocence, again. Books of Season? Plays Are Placed On Library Shelf Edna Ferber and George Kauf man, author of the 1932 hit “Of Thee I Sing,’’ have again joined forces and given London and New York their latest hit, “Dinner at 8.” According to Herschel Wil liams in the January issue of the Theatre Arts monthly, these auth ors have deftly shown an amus ing, pitiful and seething cross-sec tion of life beneath the suave ex terior of the ill assorted guests brought together by Mrs. Jordon for a small dinner party in honor of an English title. The premiere of this play in eleven acts was the social event of the past week in London. Among the applauding and enthusiastic first - nighters were Princes Marie Victoria and Princess Helena Victoria. Although both of the authors were in Lon don at the time, neither of them attended the opening. Cited by Burns Mantle as an over-night comedy hit is Rose Franken’s “Another Language,’’ a play in three acts, which was pro duced by Arthur J. Beckhard at the Booth theatre in New York late in 1932 and is still playing to large houses. Gilbert W. Gabriel, writing in the New York Ameri can, says of the technique of the author of thi/ splay depicting a modern American family. “She sharpens her pencil to a needle point when she wants to—and that insures a set of family fortraits of as much lightness as viciousness. Again, in the love scenes, she knows how to use a soft, exquis itely suggestive stroke.” A third broadway hit which opened in September, 1932, at the Maxine Elliott theatre is “Success Story,” by John Howard Lawson. If the reader prefers that his plays be picked for him by an ex pert, Burns Mantle’s collection, “The Best Plays of 1931-1932" is made to order. Not only is there the complete New York cast of such successes as "Of Thee I sing,” “Mourning Becomes Electra,” and “The Animal Kingdom,” but the date of opening, number of per formances and theatre is given. There are ten full plays and a list of plays that have “run over 500 performances on Broadway.” These four books are among the new arrivals on the pay shelf at the old libe.

I’m going to be the big knock-them-cold. Who am I ? ■ Oh, just a distinguished bum!” I Of co-eds nominated for future achievement,, it was written that one ought to “crash” Broadway, another "ought to snag ’em some way,” while a third “was a knock out in the Angel skin lace gown at the style parade.” Reasons ascribed for the success of some of the men included that they possessed "what it takes” or "the hocko that it takes.” Others were a “sure shot,” or “going to hog it all.” -1 F Matinee Every Day at I P.

Moll has just sub mitted to eastern publishers. His collection of poems will deal with the real college life in a somewhat satirical fash ion, and will contain the reac tions he has gathered from con versations with other campus professors and his conferences with students in his classes. The sonnets will reveal a teach er's admiration for the earnest, enthusiastic members in the courses, and his disgust for the indolent ones. While his book will range over a variety of themes, there will be a general outline of cam pus life, with character sketch es of students, and picture por traits of faculty members. Professor Moll is the author of two other books of poetry, “Sedge Fire" and Native Mo ments.” . )r. Moore To Go To Sendai, Japan Dr. A. R.

Shakespearean Age Books j Now Repose in Libe’s Vault By ANN-REED BURNS The 1600's—age of Shakespeare Queen Elizabeth, and the rest— seem ungraspable to many of the present day clan. But did you know that some of the same books which they read are very near us—that we may read and handle them the same as 17th century England did? There are about ten old herbals in the vault of the Old Libe— books which deal with the classi fication of plants and their use in medicine. At that time the chief use of plants was for healing pur poses much the same idea as the Chinese herb doctors of today'. There is one book, Parkinson's herbal, which contains 1,755 pages. It has 11 introductions, 6 in Latin, and 5 in English—to say nothing of a lengthy preface by the author and a dedication to “The King's Most Excellente Majestie.” The exact name of the aforesaid book cannot be certain, since there were at least eight titles on the title page, foremost of which was the “Theater of Plants.” At the end of the book is an additional chapter, in which all the mistakes made in the preceding part of the book are corrected. Several of these old herbals were written in Latin- one, which was signed with the name Johanne Jacobo Dillenio, is over a foot and , a half long and a foot wide. The most conservative of all was the oldest one- dated 1619. Of a size which can be moved without, a steam shovel, and written in orthodox English, its only objec tionable feature is the length of j the words used. One word will al ! most cover a whole line. MILLAGE CUT IN EDUCA TION FUND THREATENS (Continned from Page One) beyond the point of recovery for a decade or more.” Pamphlet Makes Appeal The statement of the present situation, made by the board, and that which will exist if proposed legislative action is taken, is in a printed pamphlet form for distri bution to the public and to mem bers of the ■ legislature. In the pamphlet the board reviewed the steps. Income from all sources for higher education during the bien nium 1929-30 was $9,439,330, the board said. For biennium 1931 32 the total was $7,412,324, a de crease of $2,027,012, or 21.5 per cent. Income estimated by the board in its proposed budget for the 1933-34 biennium is $6,426,944, making a total reduction of $3,012,392, or 32 per cent. A simi lar basis reduction in funds from state sources totaled 20.8 per cent for the 1931-32 biennium and wlil be 28.8 under normal for 1933-34 even if present authorized income is left unchanged. School Budget Cut Deep By eliminating staff members and reducing salaries, the salary and wage payroll for ihstitutions was reduced from a total of $6,292,034 in the biennium 1929-301 to an estimated $4,766,330 for 1933-34, or 24.3 per cent. Salary cuts, reducing the staffs, and pro posed eliminations for the next biennium will aggregate 140 full time people. Elimination of other employes brings the total above 200, the statement declared. Sal ary reductions were first 5 to 13 per cent and later 9 to 27 per cent. Analyzing the proposed addi tional cuts in income which would aggregate $1,308,898 if the con tinuing appropriations for agricul tural research and extension were discontinued and a million dollars diverted from the millage, the board said it then would be faced with the impossible task of operat ing the institutions on a total in come 45.8 per cent below the 1929-30 figure, and with state in come cut to less than half the former amount. The board question what institu tions are to be closed and what major services are to be discon tinued if such a move is necessary.

Transfers Fail To Bring Expected Rise in School Enrollment Here Contrary to the general opinion on this campus last year that the transfer of all upper division com merce and business administration courses from Corvallis to Eugene would swell the enrollment at the school of business administration here, the number of students en rolled this term is 10 less than that of winter quarter last year, Uni versity statistics indicate. Last year, at this time, 511 stu dents were enrolled in the school. At present there are but 501. There are 11 fewer freshmen, 2 sophomores less, the same number of juniors, and seven more seniors. Although the University enroll ment this year is about 20 per cent less than that in 1932, the business administration school’s decrease is but five per cent, according to Dean H. V. Hoyt. The reserve library of the school handles 22 per cent of all reserved books and other materials as com pared to 23 per cent of the total number of students in the Univer sity enrolled in the school. The li brary is at present located in a little room on the west side of the third floor of the school building. Mathematics Honorary To Hold Open Meeting Pi Mu Epsilon, national mathe matics honorary, will hold an open meeting for all interested in mathematics tomorrow at 7:30 p. m. in room 206 Deady. Robert Jackson, University of Oregon graduate and Rhodes scholar to Oxford, who is in Eu gene at present on a year's leave of absence, will speak on “Mathe matics and" Science at Oxford Uni versity.” Mr. Jackson is majoring in mathematical physics at Ox ford, and intends to continue his work there next fall. Members of the new mathemati cal society which has been organ ized at Corvallis by the upper di division students why have been transferred there with the shifting of the schools has been invited to attend the meeting. TO TELL you that Chesterfield is the only good cigarette . . . that the makers of Chesterfield Cigarettes are the only ones who can buy good tobaccos and manufac ture cigarettes scientifically . . . would be nothing short of foolish. For all tobacco is sold in open auctions —where anyone can buy if he will pay the price. Even the machines on which differ ent cigarettes are mgfle are alike. This much, however, is true: By using the right kinds of Turkish and Domestic to baccos in just the right proportions ... by blending and cross-blending them together in the most careful way .. . we make Chest erfield what smokers say it is ... a cigarette that’s milder, that tastes better.
