Oregon Professor Attracts National Mention for Study Project
Study Course
Gets National
Recognition
Project Is Originated by
Dr. B. ^. DeBusk
‘Methods of Study’ Made To Aid
Students in Fundamentals
Of Application
National recognition has been
accorded the course in "methods
of study” originated and devoloped
here by Dr. B. W. DeBusk, profes
sor of education, and the project
is regarded by educators as one
of the most interesting now going
on in higher learning, according to
inquiries received here.
A description of the course pub
lished in Portland newspapers
brought inquiries from California,
as well as from nearer points, and
a recent issue of the Christian Sci
ence Monitor, daily newspaper,
published in Boston, Mass., car
ried an article on the project as
one of its leading stories on its na
tionally known educational page.
The course is one designed to
aid students who'have difficulty in
the fundamentals of study. Dr.
DeBusk has found that these diffi
culties fall usually into two class
es, difficulty with spelling or word
comprehension, and difficulty in
grasping meaning of complete
paragraphs. He paired the stu
dents, who worked with each other
in clearing up their difficulties.
The course has been remarkably
successful, and marked improve
ment in learning has been shown
in many cases, according to Dr.
DeBusk i Dr. DeBusk plans to
continue studies on the course, and
definite results will be made pub
lic on student achievements.

Editor’s note—This is one of
a series of articles being writ
ten describing honorary organi
zations on the University of
Oregon campus.
Do you have visions of being
advertising manager of Meier ant:
Frank when you finish school
Would you like to draw the babies
for Ivory soap ads? If so, being
a member of the college advertis
ing honorary is a big step forward
Gamma Alpha Chi is the wom
en’s national advertising honorary,
It was established first in 1920 in
Missouri, and the chapter here,
the fifth to be installed, came in
to existence in 1928.
Gamma Alpha Chi consists of
never more than 13 members—
girls interested and active in ad
vertising. Members are chosen on
the basis of the work done in ad
vertising classes, and the outside
work done in advertising, such as
soliciting ads or copy writing for
the Emerald, or working during
the summer in some field con
nected with advertising.
Gamma Alpha Chi takes girls
interested in the three different
fields of advertising: commercial
art work, business management,
and copy writing. There is no re
quirement concerning the major
subject of members, but they are
generally chosen from the schools
of journalism, art, or business ad
ministration.
The main requirement for mem
bership is a great interest in ad
vertising, only those who intend
to do something in that line after
leaving college being elected. To
be chosen a girl must take adver
tising courses because of an in
terest in that field, and not merely
as fill-ins. Grades are important
in the selection, but not as impor
tant as actual work done in some
phase of advertising.
Election of girls to membership
is held tWice a year, fall and
spring terms. Henceforth Gamma
Alpha Chi and Theta Sigma Phi,
women’s journalism honorary, will
send out bids at the same time, so
that if a girl receives an invita
tion to both, she may choose the
one she is most interested in, de
pending on whether she prefers
reporting and news writing or ad
vertising. Not more than five, and
generally about three girls are
elected to membership in Gamma
Alpha Chi at each election. The
usual time at which a girl is
elected is at the end of the sopho
more or during her junior year.
Seniors occasionally are elected,
but freshmen are not.
A girl who wishes to “make”
Gamma Alpha Chi should, first of
all, be interested primarily in ad
vertising. Her freshman year she
may become an advertising soli
citor on the Emerald, and con
tinue work there later, either
copy writing or in the business
managing side. Working during
the summer in some field of ad
vertising, either on a newspaper
or working in the business or sell
ing end of a store, is a great,
benefit to a girl preparing for ad
vertising. Juniors who take ad
vertising are offered scholarships
by different organizations, giving
them positions during the summer
where they work and learn from
experience about business man
agement.
Gamma Alpha Chi is a purely
business organization, operating
upon a strictly business basis.
Every year the members sponsor
a fashion dance, to be held this
year on April 1. It is a si»ter or
ganization to Alpha Delta Sigma,
men’s advertising honorary, and
together the two are hosts for the
state advertising conclave held in
Eugene each year in the spring.
The officers of this chapter are
Katherine Laughridge, president;
Marylou Patrick, vice-president;
and Margaret Roberts, secretary
treasurer. A graduate of this
chapter is now national president,
Ruth Street.
Members of Gamma Alpha Chi
have become managers or assis
tant managers of several large
stores in Portland, and several
members have become prominent
in newspaper work or advertising
agencies. Gamma Alpha Chi, as a
whole, is composed of, and stands
for "Women of truth and service
with special ability in advertis
ing.”

Conklin Urges
Seriousness
In Marriage
(Continued from Paije One)
er than that of shorter intervals.
Since society has set up certain
codes for us. and has included in
1 these the necessity for us to have
a vocation and to marry, youth is
always confronted with two ques
tions: What shall be my vocation?
and, shall I marry and whom ?
Marital Preparation Duty
Youth fecis me responsibility of
this trust placed in him, so more
troubling questions arouse in his
mind, these because of the lack of
experience. Therefore, believes Dr.
Conklin, it is the duty of every col
lege man and woman to equip him
self or herself for a vocation and
marriage. In his viewpoint, it is
quite essential that a woman
know some trade in the business
world, and not be prepared for
home management alone.
Delving into the matter of sex
attraction, Dr. Conklin traced
youth from stormy ignorance to
the placid waters of maturity,
showing that after puberty the
two sexes are attracted to one an
other and a mature psychology of
the situation is needed. Why, then,
are some people attractive to the
opposite sex, and others not?
What makes one attractive?
In answering the first question,
Dr. Conklin showed through a se
ries of examples how the sex un
attractiveness of individuals may
be the result of marital or parental
infelicity. The constant qurrels
between parents may harden a
child on life, and make him form
his opinions of marriage from that
example alone.
In addition, there must be con
sidered in this lack of attraction,
the matter of perfectionistic ideals.
It is quite frequent, said Dr. Conk
lin, that boys or girls have estab
lished certain mental pictures of
their mate which are set so high
that no member of the other sex
lives up to their standards, and
therefore does not appeal to them.
In regard to the latter question,
j as to what makes one attractive,
there were given the usual physi
cal traits. Under this topic. Dr.
Conklin stressed the importance
of the cooperation of the sexes. A
self-centered attitude is the quick
est way to divert attraction, and
is a very poor policy in the prepa
ration for marriage, he main
tained.
In concluding his lecture, Dr.
Conklin cited numerous personal
experiences, many of them inter
views, dealing with racial and re
ligious difficulties in mating, jeal
ousy, an dbroken hearts.

Senior Ball Given
At Less Expense
Than Last Year’s
j The financial statement of
the Senior ball showed that the
budget this year was $200 less
‘ than that of last year and the
actual cost of the dance was
$137.43 less than the 1932 Sen
ior ball, according to Charles
Stryker, general chairman.
Income from the dance was
not as great this year because
of the reduction in the price of
tickets from $1.50 to $1 to ac

evitable. This play turns the minds
Mr. McCool matriculated at the
United States naval academy at
Annapolis, where he made a bril
liant record as a student and ath
lete. He is no novice as an author,
and is famed’at Annapolis as one
of the co-authors of the words of
the Navy’s celebrated fighting
song, “Sink the Army!”
Also of interest to University of
Oregon students is the fact that
Mr. McCool married a former Ore
gon student, Miss Eve Hutchinson.
Mrs. McCool was affiliated with
Kappa Alpha Theta while on this
campus. She now is an instructor
at Grant high school in Portland.
Team-Mates In Washington
Representative Henry T. Rainey, of Illinois, is one of the chief
candidates for speaker of the house. If Representative Rainey gains
the speakership it will be largely due to the aid of his tireless partner,
Mrs. Rainey. Mrs. Rainey has kept in close contact with her husband’s
work in polities for some years now, and has been of inestimable aid
in his many trying experiences.

$11 worth of theatre tickets, he’ll
have to help earn it, Nancy Suo
mela, chairman of the Dime Crawl
directorate, said last night.
Every dime taken in goes to the
Associated Women Students’ loan
fund, to be loaned to needy stu
dents. The interfraternity council
voted at its last meeting to sup
port the Dime Crawl one hundred
per cent. The Oregon Yeomen
sent a letter to Miss Suomela pro

First Division oflJofO Band
Slates First Concert Sunday
There wan no A.S.U.O. concert
Sunday afternoon perhaps out of
respect to the Senior Ball—but
the third in the series of 12 will
be presented next Sunday after
noon, with two more to follow on
succeeding Sundays.
The first division of the Univer
sity concert band, which Director
John Stehn admits is the finest ag
gregation of musicians he has as
sembled in his three years of di
rectorship, will present next Sun
day's concert. It will be the first
division's first appearance this
year, although the second division
gave a performance at the music
auditorium early in January.
"The choice of the best and
most difficult program ever pre
pared by the University band was
inspired by the exceptionally high
caliber of the players this year,”
Stehn said. “Practically all of the
members of the first division have
played with the band from two to
five years. The few freshmen and
other newcomers in the roster
were accepted because of unusual
ability.”
The 37 members of the first di
vision band are as follows: flutes,
Victor Bryant, Howard Baugh
man, Mary Devereaux; oboes, Ir
vin House, Helen Goold; bassoon,
Violet Nelson; clarinets, Douglas
Orme, Jay Wilson, Charles Sandi
fer, John Gribble, Myron Pink

Dick Neuberger, editor of the
University of Oregon Emerald, and
leader of the committee of three
students which took petitions to
the state legislature last week.
Other Fields Cut Talked
The main objective of the Ore
gon students’ trip to the capital—
the prevention of further reduction
in faculty salaries— has been wide
ly discussed here. There are many
who think that other things could
better be reduced than salaries,
which already have sustained Vi
tal reductions.
“If the contemplated wage cut
goes through,’’ Neuberger said,
Oregon will be second only to
Mississippi, where illiteracy is
rampant, in the low salaries paid
its educators. We don’t want to
lose all our competent professors.
Wouldn’t it be far better to do
away with extra activities, such as
radio, in this time than to reduce
faculty salaries to such an extent
that the instructors won’t even
be able to support themselves in
a style compatible with their po
sitions?”
The move reducing higher edu
cation so drastically has now to
face the house and senate, where
considerable .action i3 contemplat
ed. There are still many cham
pions of education to speak, and
they will have their inning at bat
when the ways and means com
mittee reports out to the house
and senate. The report of the
committee recommends that the
millage funds for higher educa
tion be reduced $508,918 and that
the continuing appropriations for
agricultural projects be cut $66,
342.

[t’s fun to be fooled_
...It’s more fun to KNOW
We all like magicians’ tricks. But
tricks in cigarette advertising arc
quite another matter.
Here’s one you may have won
dered about. The illusion that only
one cigarette is “pure.”
EXPLANATION: All popular cigarettes
are made under the most sanitary
conditions. All use a good cigarette
paper. All are made with practically
identical modern machinery. All are
pure.
But the quality of the tobacco is
another story.
The pleasure you find in a cigarette
is determined by the quality of the
tobaccos used. Mildness and fine fla
vor come from the costlier tobaccos.
It is a fact, well known
by leaf tobacco experts,
that Camels are made from
finer, MORE EXPENSIVE tobaccos
than any other popular brand.
It’s the tobacco that counts...plus a
matchless blending of leaf with leaf to
bring out the delicate flavor of choice
tobaccos. That’s why Camels have
given more people more pleasure
than any other cigarette.
Camels are always fresh, always c< ml,
always in prime condition...in the
air-tight, welded Humidor Pack.
