Rael Praised As Collector Of Folk Tales Oregon Spanish Professor Nationally Recognized Compilation of 410 Stories Made In Trips to Southwest By Instructor The collection of 410 Spanish folk-tales gathered in New Mexi co and southern Colorado by Juan B. Rael of the University depart ment of Romance languages is | hailed as the “best and largest J collection of Spanish folk-tales. from Spanish America,” by Pro- j fessor Aurelio M. Espinosa, head of the department of Romanic lan-1 guages at Stanford university, it! was learned here today. Writing to Mr. Rael, Professor Espinsa, who is regarded as the outstanding authority in his field, said: “The collection is extensive and good. It. is really the best and largest of its kind.” Stanford Position Offered Professor Espinosa himself gath ered and edited “Cuentos Popular es Espagnoles” from Spain, and this is the only compilation of j Spanish folk-tales in the whole' world which equals that gathered by the Oregon instructor. Dr. Espinosa has invited Mr. Rael to come to Stanford next summer, and has offered his services in col labdrating in the editing of the extensive collection for publica tion. Mr. Rael gathered the folk-tales on two trips made to the south west, and obtained all the tales di rect from the lips of the descen dants of the early Spaniards. Story telling, of tales handed down from generation to generation, is fast becoming a lost art, and the collection made by Mr. Rael is thus held to be of great signifi cance historically. Publication Hoped For It is the hope of those interest ed at the University here that de tails and a bibliography of the folk-tales may soon be published and made available to the public. National recognition of the work done by Mr. Rael has been ac corded through accounts published in various journals and newspa pers, and a great deal of interest in his accomplishment has been shown.

Emmett Tells How He Picks Best Dressed Campus Men By HAZLE CORRIGAN Shhh! Here’s the dope on these ten best dressed men direct from Jim Emmett, who did the choos ing for Carl Hurlburt’s column, “Promenade.” What is this secret that John Creech, Rudy Crommelin, and (to be announced later) possess ? Jim says that general appearance and conformity to style standards were the base for his choice. "Be ing well dressed does not mean wearing a suit all of the time," he stressed. “First of all, being well dressed means being neat. Clothes reveal individuality. It is not so much a matter of fashion as a matter of good taste. “The well dressed man seeks harmony of colors, of design, of textures. Women usually choose contrasts in colors; men seldom do. Jewelry is a matter of taste. He believes that men on the Oregon campus are very conserva tive in their dress. In California schools, men choose extremely flashy clothing. In the East the men are dressed up all of the time. "There are a large number of really well dressed men on the campus, but as a group the men do not reveal as careful selection as the women." There arc little things about one’s appearance which may mean a great deal. "Watch your col ors,” he says, "see that your shoes are shined, your hair well ar ranged, give yourself that well groomed appearance." And that is all he had to say. Don’t give up hope. Your name may be on the roll of honor yet. POSSIBILITIES OF STRIFE IN PACIFIC ARE SHOWN (Continued from Pae/c Our) boycott would be effective, since this country is Japan’s greatest silk consumer, he said. The situation did not develop overnight. Dr. Smith said. He pointed out that two years ago a German observer, writing in the Geo-Politik, predicted that a war in the west-Pacific starting in Manchuria and involving the United States would occur in 1934. Dr. Smith said that, the situation had been definitely shap ing for the past 10 years. Two possible means of avoiding war were given by Dr. Smith. He said that the United States could improve the situation by joining the League of Nations and lend ing full force to bring the Japan ese nation to reason. The other means given was for the people of the United States and Japan to do some sober think ing and for the people to assume the right attitude on the situation. “This is no time to start hating the Japanese,” he said. “It is im portant frjr the college students l and other young people of the nation to become acquainted with the facts of the situation." Dr. Smith said he did not care to speculate on the method in which the war would be fought. And he was emphatic in saying that he was not. predicting that such a war would occur. He was equally emphatic in saying that the situation needed careful hand ling, however. "This was one of my principal reasons in opposing the action of congress in turning the Philippine islands loose," he said. Dr. Smith concluded by saying that the situation had other fac tors which are important, but which would take a great deal of space to include.

High school teachers, as a rule, grade not only on the student's Intellect, but on the way in which be attacks his studies. Thus if habits of consistant study are de veloped early in high school, they will most likely stay with the stu dent through college. These are conclusions drawn af ter several years of observation of college students by the personnel research bureau of the University, is set forth in a bulletin entitled, ‘The Scholastic Significance of Certain Personality Traits.” It is the work of Dr. H. R. Taylor, head Df the bureau, and Harriet Hod gen. For seven years the University has maintained the bureau as an lid to students seeking the proper vocation and for those who experi ence difficulty in finding their places in the University. The bureau studies the high school records, principal’s recommenda tions, and college aptitude tests given to all freshmen, both for general knowledge, and to help students in specific cases. The college aptitude psycho logical test given to entering stu dents is the best single all-around indication of potentiality for schol astic success in college, since it is the most objective, most reliable, and probably the most stable, but the preparatory or high school record is an excellent supplement, the bulletin concludes. The record is especially valuable since it sup plies data on the habits of the student, while the test chiefly shows only ability. The bulletin also includes a study of personality ratings of students by high school principals ind by fellow students. tests are eligible to represent the University of Oregon at the state contests or the Pacific Forensic league contests.

Dam masch staunchly defended the need for a new University infirm ary and effectively blocked a mo tion which would repeal a law passed by the 1929 legislature pro viding funds for a new building. These funds will be available after the 1933-34 biennium. Dr. Dam masch was vigorous in his condem nation of existing infirmary facil ities, calling the present structure "a disgraceful shack unfit even for the cows at Corvallis.” Senator William F. Woodward of Portland, advocate of a $1,000, 000 cut in the higher education budget, replied to Neuberger’s ad dress before the ways and means committee, expressing the belief that professors and students would join hands in patriotically facing the financial crisis. He openly praised the editor of the Oregon Daily Emerald for his loy al defense of the system of higher education. Petitions Presented The petitions of the students were presented in bound form to E. W. Snell, speaker of Uie house of representatives, who officially welcomed the trio and thanked the delegation for bringing the con sensus of student opinion to the lower house of the state legisla ture.
