II ■ ■■ ■ ■■ VOLUME XXXIV________ UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1933 ~~ ^_NUMBER 72 8 o’Clock Rule For Returning - RooksToStick Requests for Extension Of Time Refused REASONS ARE GIVEN Librarians Explain That Student Demand Does Not VVarrtnt Proposed Change All hopes that the time for re turning reserve books will be ex tended from 8 o’clock to 9 o'clock in the morning were shattered by M. H. Douglass, University librar ian, and assistants in charge of the reserve sections when inter viewed yesterday. Commenting on the situation Mr. Douglass said, “There is no reason to change the library hours ^ unless there is more student de mand. If the demand should in crease the matter will be taken up with the library committee.’ The matter was brought to the attention of the librarians when a number of students complained about having to return by 8 o’clock in the morning reserve books taken out over night. Library Preferred When questioned about the pos sible change in hours, Mrs. Mabelle Rietman, in charge of English history reserve, said, “Most stu dents seem to be against the change because they find it more convenient to study in the library because they complain of distrac tions at their homes.” Asked if many demands were made for a longer time to return books, Mrs. Helen Everett, librar ian at Condon hall, said, “No de mands have been made except to inquire if the time has been changed. Instead, many students i complain that Condon hall is so noisy that they cannot study. Some of these same students think nothing of talking to all their friends and make no effort to walk quietly, so I advocate the coopera tion of students to keep the li brary quiet.” Arguments Given Some of the arguments that have been presented by students to extend the time are as follows: That books are taken out pri marily by students who put in long hours studying, most of them late at night. Extension of time for returning books would allow these students to study later and still get their required amount of sleep. It was also intimated that there is little use made of the library books between the hours of 8 and 9 o'clock in the morning. Adequate reasons for not ad vancing the time were given. Daily tabulations kept by the va rious librarians show that approx imately 150 students study from 8 ► to 9 o’clock. The business admin istration library reserve finds Monday, Wednesday, and Friday the heaviest days, while the his tory reserve i? usually rushed on Saturdays. The Condon reserve distribution during the week is fairly even. Books Are Needed The strongest argument against extending the time is that practi cally all books used during the first hour are ones that have been out over night. It has also been pointed out that many of the books used there are only one or two copies in the library. It has also been found that in the Commerce library the average number of books demanded during the 8 o’clock hour is between 40 and 45, and they are books that have been taken out over night. It is the opinion of library of ficials that the idea of the reserve system is to keep the books in cir culation as long hours as possible. *■ If students were allowed to keep the books out an hour longer in the morning, it would mean that they would be out of circulation that much more. G. Turner Will Speak At Fellowship Meeting Geneva Turner, junior in sociol ogy, will talk on the subject of “The Outlook of the Negro Youth” at a World Fellowship meeting to be held this evening at 9 o’clock at the Y.

House Managers G uests at Annual Cook’s Club Feed By HENRIETTE HORAK Red tulips, red hearts, soft mu sic and a turkey dinner that would put grandma’s traditional Thanks giving feast to shame were the highlights of the first annual din ner given by the campus Culinary Arts club to the house managers of the campus living organizations, Eugene tradesmen, and a few choice guests Tuesday evening at the “Y“ hut. There was no stiff, icy feeling among the hundred guests and cooks who sat down to the loaded tables; a spirit of good fellowship and friendliness prevailed and put all present at ease. Each guest was asked to stand and introduce himself and name the house or group v/hich he represented. When Mrs. Maude Taylor, presi dent of the Culinary Arts club felt that the guests had partially satis fied their appetites and that hun gry look on each face changed to one of satisfaction and content ment, she presented entertain ment; a fast tap dance by a fleet footed male dancer, and a mixed quartet which sang a medley of old time favorites. Jack Cate, representing the house managers, and Dave Wilson speaking for the tradesmen, thanked the club for the excellent dinner, and lauded the cooks’ effi ciency. Dean Denies Plot To Pack Concert With Supporters By DAVE WILSON “I regret interrupting your piano practice, Dean Landsbury, but this seems to be an auspicious moment to continue our conversation on your appearance with the Univer sity orchestra at the McArthur court concert next Sunday after noon." "Oh, yes. Now I was saying when we last conversed, the Saint Saens' concerto in G-minor which I am to play in company with the University orchestra has long been established as one of most ...” "Pardon me, Dean, for breaking the train of thought, but your pub lic would like to know if it is true that all members of your two mu sic appreciation classes have been ordered to attend next Sunday’s concert on pain of flunking?" "Such rumors, young man, are practically unfounded. At the be ginning of the term I suggested that the members of these classes might make it a point to attend all twelve of the concerts being sponsored by the Associated Stu dents. Further than that, I have made no recommendations and launched no threats.” “The Emerald will be glad to quash the rumor. Now another query on every tongue is: why do you appear in concert at such rare intervals?” “My profession is the adminis tration of musical education. If I were a professional pianist, I would, of course, grace the concert stage at every possible opportun ity. But as 21 simon-pure amateur pianist, I feel that an appearance once in two seasons is sufficient." “Your explanation, Dean Lands bury, has every symptom of sin cerity. The Emerald shall give it the prominence it deserves.” “I appreciate the generosity of the Emerald, but I trust that you will not devote more than four or five columns to the story since I wish only a minimum of publicity. Please shut the door quietly as you go out.” Mental Troubles Subject of First Of Faculty Talks Dr. Dixon Explains Personality Structure of Humans; Tells Of Humorous Cases Personality structure and the troubles relating to it should inter est everyone because they are found in each person, according to Dr. H. H. Dixon, practicing phy sician and psychiatrist, and mem ber of the Portland medical school faculty, who spoke last night before nearly 200 people on “Recent Contributions to the Un derstanding of Personality Struc ture.” This lecture was the first of a series of faculty lectures sponsored by the committee on free intellectual activities. Throughout the lecture Dr. Dixon continually convulsed the audience with bursts of laughter by his strange examples and humorous statements—such as the “true story” of a man who had a certain mental ailment which took the form of compelling him to kiss the radiator every night, Dr. Dixon outlined the common forms of mental troubles, some form of which is found in every individual personality. Everyone has in the past noticed some trace of psychoneurosis in his own per sonality structure, in the form of morbid mental condition, nervous tension, over-emotionalism, or some such manner, said Dr. Dixon. According to Dr. Dixon, mental ailments are not imaginary, as is often thought, but are real troubles, resulting from poor en vironment, generally in childhood. They are true structural things in personality, developed by uncon scious mechanism. Often, he stated, mental troubles will not be noticed until the individual comes in contact with difficulties in life. “A personality structure is some thing which is emphasizfed by dif ficult conditions,” he stated. Dr. Dixon explained briefly the methods used by medical psychi atrists to cure patients suffering from mental disorders, and em phasized the necessity of making the patient understand his per sonality structure, and the purely mechanical basis of his trouble. Honoraries Plan Joint Meeting at Corvallis All Eugene members of Sigma Xi, Phi Beta Kappa, and Phi Kappa Phi are invited to a joint meeting by Oregon State members of Phi Kappa Phi, all-college hon orary, to be held at 8 o’clock to morrow night in the Memorial Union building on the Corvallis campus. Dr. Goldenweiser of the U. of O. extension service will give a lec ture on “Spinoza,” which will be followed by an informal reception. I Glenn Frank Fights Againstj Education Cutj $2,000,000 Cut Urged | By the Governor DEANS MAKE PLEAS Wisconsin Head Asserts That Cuts Would Greatly Reduce School's Standing (Editor’s note: Because of the analogy between the educational situations in Oregon and Wis consin, the following story is called to the attention of the campus.) MADISON, Wis., Feb. 15—(Spe cial)— The decline of the univer sity to the status of a third or fourth-rate institution may be come the inevitable result of too drastic a budget reduction, Pres. Glenn Frank predicted to the joint legislative finance committee as he carried the university's plea for more rational retrenchment to the state capitol this week. In the packed committee room, where the university’s future was on trial, Pres. Frank, with the deans of the various colleges as his aides, stood up under a withering two and a half hour barrage of questions, in which virtually every budget item was under fire. Dominant in Pres. Frank’s pre sentation of the university’s case was his assertion that “retrench jnent in this particular fund (op erating expenses) should not be so drastic as to put Wisconsin in a position where it can neither ob tain nor retain, for the training of its sons and daughters, the sort of outstanding scholars and teachers without whom the University of Wisconsin would rapidly sink to the rank of a third or fourth-class institution.” May liaise Fees The possibility of rasiing fees for students taking such profes sional courses as law, medicine, and engineering, the desirability of eliminating "unessential” courses from the school of education, the need for endowments, educational reform, departmental coordination, and discontinuance of certain ser vices and courses, were all ad vanced by the legislators as they poked hastily into every phase of a great university’s activity during the three hour session. Committee members were visib ly impressed when Pres. Frank pointed to the terrific cut in fac ulty salaries which acceptance of Gov. Schmedeman's recommenda tion of a $2,000,000 cut would in volve.

Be Recovered at University Depot ttT’VE often heard folks won der, where all the lost things go,” just a line or two from a once popular melody, but applicable to many univer sity students who haven’t the slightest idea where all the things lost on the campus go. Gloves, pens, pencils, rain coats, umbrellas, and many oth er articles are lost by students and not reclaimed because they know not whither to go. For the benefit of all. such . students, be they freshmen or seniors, the land of the lost things is called the University depot, situated across the street from the Architectural building, and diagonally fro mthe Jour nalism building. It is also the campus post office, in short, it is the little red building with a big chim—no, a smokestack. Dignity Discarded By Little Theatre As Cast Clowns Amachoor night. The Very Lit tle theatre let the bars down, dis carded dignity, and played "thea tre” last night; very amusing, too For a long time, what with an in cipient Ibsen, the late Somerset Maugham, and others, it seemed as though the dramatic cutups would never have their innings, but they came through. Sally Allen forgot herself in an intensely dramatic rendering of "The Curfew Shall Not Ring To night With Gestures,” in a picture hat, black lace and long gloves. . .

Schenk, Emerahl Manager Is on Probation Business Head Given Permission To Hold Post Because of Previous Record Harry S. Schenk is on probation. By special consent of the scholar ship committee he has been per mitted to retain his position as manager of the Oregon Daily Em erald. Permission was granted Schenk at the start of this term to con tinue at his post because of the previous scholastic record he had achieved. He was among the five hundred odd students placed on probation because of fall semester marks. When this fact came to light re cently several protests were re ceived at the Emerald editorial of fices. It was recalled that Kenneth (Kek) McKean, former manager of the varsity basketball team, was removed from that office be cause he had fallen three-hun dredths of a point below the re quired grade average. A new ruling went into effect at the close of last term that set a grade point rating of 1.00 as the minimum average upper-class stu dents must attain to keep off the probation list. The previous mark had required a student to attain passing grades in a specified pro portion of the hours he carried. Carol Hurlburt, fashions editor of the Emerald, also was allowed to continue in'"extra-curricular ac tivities although on probation. Seven Oregon Alumni Instructing at Albany Seven instructors at Albany college are on the rolls of the Uni versity of Oregon alumni. Elisa beth Karpenstein, ’27, is professor of modern languages; Miss Olga Jackson, ’27, is piano instructor: Miss Nancy Thielsen, ’31, is vocal instructor; Miss Victoria Case, ’21, is instructor of journalism. Miss Margaret Ramsey, Daniel Freeman, and Dr. A. A. Groening were registered at the University for graduate work. Selected Costume Drawings Now Displayed at Art School Ey CYNTHIA LILJEQVIST Drawings that were selected by the chairman of the Beaux Arts Ball Costume committee and hung at the opening exhibit of the new museum of the City of New York, are now on display in the gallery of the art school. The exhibit was sent by the Eth el Traphagen School of Fashion, which, according to stylists, is the outstanding school of its kind in the United States. “This display should prove of particular interest to college wo women,” stated Lance Hart, who is in charge of the exhibition. "Be cause it reflects the most ad vanced style items and trends of fashion, the display should prove of especial interest to the students of style and design.” I Among the display are 80 mounted subjects; pen and ink ( drawings, black and white fashion layouts, theatrical designs and ! museum costumes, modern silhou ettes and period silhouettes from 1 the twelfth to the eighteenth cen tury. These pieces will acquaint the observer with the research work done by the Traphagen stu dents. Prize winning adaptations of Colonial costumes made by the pupils of the Traphagen school are in the display. American cotton and silk manufacturers have co operated in weaving a number of these textiles for the period reviv al which stylists predict. An interesting and instructive feature of the exhibition is a group showing some of the Zanbaraza silk prints which proved popular this fall and ushered in the African motives. These Zanbaraza sUk prints were inspired by African objects and brought to the United States by Ethel Traphagen from Africa. Another unique attraction is a colored drawing of a design made for Knox store, New York City, which illustrates another patriotic tie-up between an American Art (Continued on Page Three) Assailant Fires On Roosevelt; 5 Others Hurt Mayor Cermak Injured Seriously, May l)ic SHOTS STOP SPEECH Ititlinn Bricklayer Spirited Away; Admits Intention To Kill President-Elect Six shots fired at President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt tonight wounded five persons, including Mayor Anton Cermak of Chicago, telegraphic reports to the Eugene Morning News last night stated. The president-elect was unin jured. The assailant, who was captured by a rush of secret service men, police and sheriff’s officers, was said to be Guiseppi Zingara, an Italian bricklayer. He was spirited away by officers to save him from the angry crowd. Police said he admitted he bought his gun with the intent to kill Roosevelt. The shooting took place in Bay Front park, a few minutes after the president - elect had come ashore from the yacht Nourmahal on which he was cruising through the Bahamas. Mr. Roosevelt waa responding to a welcome of 10,000 people gathered in the park when the crack of pistol shots cut short his speech. Zingara was said to have admit ted that 10 years ago he was a party to a plot against the life of King Victory Emmanuel of Italy and was imprisoned until 1928 when, at the King’s order was giv en full freedom. Mayor’s Condition Critical The injured condition of Mayor Cermak, who was shot through the chest, the bullet coming out his back and may be fatally wounded, were: William Sinnott, of New York, detective, was shot in the head. Mrs. Joseph Gill, wife of the president of the Florida Power and Light company, was shot twice in the abdomen. Mrs. Margaret Keyes, of New ark, N. J., was shot in the head. Russell Caldwell, aged five, of Cocoanut Grove, Fla., was slightly injured. The president-elect had just completed a brigf address of wel come to thousands and cheering winter resort residents. In a set ting that was colorful and keeping with the occasion when the shots split the air. Mayor Cermak, who had been standing on the running board of the shiny black automobile in in which Mr. Roosevelt was in the back, dropped to his knees in the fusilade. Mayor Cermak is expect ed to die from the injury. Mr. Roosevelt owes his life to the fact, that a split second before the shots were discharged he had lowered himself down to the rear of his motor car. He had been standing, braced by his arms on the lowered top of the car. He was in the process of sliding to his ac customed seat when the bullets cut the air. President Whisked Away No sooner had the shot sheen fired, it seemed than the Roosevelt car was thrown into gear by the chauffeur and it was sent into mo tion through the path cleared by police sirens. The president-elect was heard to remark, "I’m all right." He waved his arms to the crowd as an indi cation that he had been spared. He was driven to a special train on the siding of the Florida East Coast railroad and later to the hos pital where the wounded were rushed. Mr. Roosevelt cancelled plans for his return to New York tonight and will remain here at least an other day. He will spend the night aboard the Nourmahal, Vincent Astor’s yacht, on which he had re turned earlier tonight from an 11 . day trip.
