U ■■ Guild Players Have 'Berkeley Square’ Ready Capable Cast To Handle Performance CURTAIN RISES AT 8 Many Weeks of Preparation Spent lender Direction of Mrs. Seybolt i __ Th ballyhoo and frenzied prepa ration are done. At 8 o’clock to night “Berkeley Square” will bow lo its public at the Guild theatre. Weeks of preparation have gone before this performance. The cast has strained and fretted over late rehearsals, irksome lines, difficult decor; Mrs. Seybolt has trumpeted lustily and arrayed her charges nobly. Tonight she sends them into the fray, prepared to make or break, as is the way with plays. Success Almost Certain There is no reason for this one to break. “Berkeley Square” is as good a vehicle as the Guild players have had. The cast is as capable as could be marshalled. The sets are as fine as Director of Effects Andreini could make them. The night is Washington’s birthday, which is peculiarly apt. All these factors, put together, make a good play. Dress rehearsal last night was a sleek, well-turned out perform ance. It is said of this play that there is a magic and a tragedy of frustration in the situation of that second Peter who became the first Peter, who knowing that events cannot be altered when they have already happened, must marry Kate Pettigrew though he loves her sister, Helen . . . who sees the eighteenth century not glamorous, as he had dreamed, but filthy and cruel; and who, departing finally from one whose clairvoyance lets her see the future as he has seen the past, knows that he has loved a woman gone beyond recapture. Characters in “Pink” W'arren Gram, whether airily quoting epigrams not yet uttered by Oscar Wilde, or struggling in doubt with forces that must take away from his supernal existence, invested his dress rehearsal per formance with an eloquence born of restraint and economy. Betty Buffington at times is quite charming as the Helen who must be fragile and altogether delight ful. Taken all in all, we have every expectation of seeing as delightful a play as has been done at Guild theatre in the past several years. Tickets may be purchased at Johnson hall. Young Democrats Planning Banquet Young Democrats from the Uni versity will play an active part in planning for the Inaugural ban quet at the Osburn hotel, sched uled for 6:30 p. m., March 4, un der the auspices of the Young Democratic league of Lane coun ty.

S. U. O., is gen erally known throughout the world as an outstanding German states man and diplomat, in narrower circles he is widely known as an authority on economic questions and the development of many of the industries in his native land. He has been a leader in the de velopment of the coal and steel in dustries in western Germany and the Saar. He is president of the Neunkircher Steel company, vice president of the Stumin corpora tion, and is a member of many financial boards. He has studied the industrial systems and eco nomic developments in many coun tries, including our own. A Writer of Note Dr. Kuhlmann has published numerous articles in the German Press dealing with political and economic questions. His book. “Thoughts on Germany,” has been published in Germany, England, and recently in the United States. Before coming to America in 1933 a second volume, or “The Chain Bearers,” will be published both here and abroad. He is a writer of excellent style and an orator of outstanding abil ity, using perfect English with little or no accent.

According to the unified cal endar adopted by the state board of higher education all Oregon institutions of higher education will celebrate the day as a legal holiday. Chilly Words Fly When Prof Wins Tilt With Iceman Extra! Extra! Ice company vs. the physics department! A great row is on hand—with Prof. W. V. Norris the hero of the day. It seems that the physics de partment about two years ago bought a book of coupons, each good for 25 pounds of ice, with which to perform experiments. Well, formerly the ice order was for 100 pounds twice a week; but lately—what with the shifting of science schools, the famous depres sion, and the rest—the department has only needed 25 pounds. The ice company apparently be came rather disgusted with the idea of selling only 25 pounds of ice—and that on an old book of (Continued on Page Four) -— Unauthorized Statement qpHE FOLLOWING resolution, purported to be signed by the interfraternity council, was turned in to the Emerald last night, scoring the proposed plan for living at reduced costs. The presi dent of the interfraternity council declared the resolution unauthor ized as the council will not meet to consider it until Thursday afternoon. It is merely the preliminary draft made by a com mittee, members of which appear at the end of the statement: WHEREAS the interfiaternity council of the University of Oregon has taken exception to the editorial and story written by the editor and a reporter in the Emerald, page 1, February 21, 1933, and W’HEREAS the editor has grossly misinformed the students, and the public, concerning the living expenses in fraternity houses, and has minimized the supposed expenses of the ‘ Emerald Plan,” and WHEREAS we believe that the “Emerald Plan” should have a firm foundation of facts and organization before it can be given the name, “Emerald- Plan,” and WHEREAS the interfraternity council of the University of Oregon believes the aforesaid editorial has brought disrepute upon that body, therefore be it RESOLVED, that the council go on record as opposing the editorial policy of the editor. The council further decries the lack of substantiating facts, and sincerely hopes that the editor will use more mature judgment in such matters in the future.

Slieldon To Talk On Development Of Universities Faculty Lecture To Take Place At 8 o’clock Wednesday Evening in Villard The dramatic story of the rise and development of the American university as it is today will be the topic of Dr. H. D. Sheldon at the faculty lecture Wednesday night at 8 o’clock in Villard hall. Not only will the change from the old conservative type of col lege to the modern conception of a university be described, but Dean Sheldon will sketch the personali ties and work of the leaders who brought the advancement about. The new movement, which aroused considerable controversy for many years, began at the Uni versity of Michigan in 1852, under the direction of Henry Tappan, Dean Sheldon points out. The work was pushed further at Corn ell, starting about 1868, with An drew D. White, millionaire scholar and politician guiding the destinies of this institution. The work at Harvard, begun in 1869 under Charles W. Elliot, will be described, and the personality of Noah Porter, whose book against the new development won him the presidency of Yale, will be discussed. Dean Sheldon will point out the significance of the found ing of Johns Hopkins at Baltimore in *876, which marks the begin ning of real graduate study and research in the modern university. The development of the univer sities, such as Stanford, Chicago, Pennsylvania and others will be stressed, and the personalities of such men as David Starr Jordan, William R. Harper and others will be described. The growth of such movements as the elective system, graduate and research work and growth and development of the profes sional schools will also be topics. The lecture has been prepared to interest all students and faculty (Continued on 1‘aye Four) University Will Be Host To High School Athletes ! 336 Men To Meet May 20 for Track Event — PLAN ZONE SYSTEM! _ | New Organization of Eliminations i Leaves State's Best for Final Contest — The University of Oregon will be host to 336 athletes when the state high school inter-scholastic track meet is held for the first time on Hayward field Saturday, May 20, it was announced yester day by Tom Stoddard, assistant j graduate manager, who is promot I ing the meet. | In the past the meet has been i held annually at Corvallis, but on | order of the board of higher educa tion last spring the meet will be j alternated each year between the j University and Oregon State col lege. Since the meet has been sche duled for May 20, the Oregon-Ore gon State duel meet has been ad vanced to May 19, so that the high school athletes will have an op portunity to see college track men in action, Stoddard said. New System Planned Formerly it was the custom for any school to enter as many par ticipants as they chose, but now the state will be divided into eight districts and the first and second places will compete in the state meet, but in the case of dis trict eight, which comprises the Portland High School Athletic association, the four first places in each event will be eligible to com pete in Eugene. The eliminations will be run off either May 6 or 13. The new system will correspond to that used in Washington, Calif or- j , nia, and other surrounding states. Colonel Bill Hayward, who will be the director of the meet, said, ! “The district meets will prove a more satisfactory plan because when the athletes come to the state meet here, only the cream of the crop will be competing; against each other. The Univer sity of Oregon expects to run a real high class meet in which each athlete will have a chance to show his best ability in the events in which he participates. “We are endeavoring to ar range. the track so that every event will end where it starts. All field events will be brought closer to the stands where the spectators will easily' see every event.” All preliminaries will be run off in the morning and the finals will take place in the afternoon, stated Stoddard. At present the organizers are arranging the dis trict meets and medals are being selected. Gary Makes Plans J. L. Gary, principal of West Linn high school and secretary of the state board of control, is au thorizing this meet, Stoddard said. The state board of control will appoint a committee of at least three principals or superintendents from each district to conduct the respective meets. Following are the districts where meets will be held: 1— Wallowa, Union, Baker, Malheur, and Umatilla counties. 2— (a)—Grant, Wheeler, Har ney, Jefferson, Crook, Deschutes, Klamath, and Lake counties; (b>— Sherman, Wasco, Hood River, I Morrow, and Gilliam counties. 3— (a)—Coos and Curry coun ties; <b) Josephine and Jackson counties. (Continued oil Par/e Four) _ Washington Sat for Canvas; Camera Clicks at Roosevelt By ELINOR HENRY Today cameramen swarm about the president-elect and dog the ■ ! footsteps of the president. So fam iliar does the sharp click of a camera become to the first citizen that he seldom pays any attention. Not so easy was the making of a portrait in George Washingtons | day. When he “had his picture taken” it took long hours of te-1 i dious sitting, and sometimes the i extreme discomfort of keeping his j face expressionless to allow a : plaster cast to set. j But as snapshots had not yet been invented, and Washington was a man in a responsible posi-1 tion, the great demand for pictures | of him had to be filled with can vases done in oil, bronze or mar- j ^ble, but3, or silhouettes. Eventual-1 — ly, as he himself wrote in his diary, “No dray horse came more docile ly to the thills.’’ Over twenty con temporary painters made portraits of him, and one artist, Charles I Willson Peale, was granted four teen sittings. Once four artists painted his portrait at the same time—Peale and his two sons and a brother all working from dif ferent angles. All this information, and more, is contained in the “albums of Presidents’’ compiled through many years by Professor Freder-1 ick S. Dunn, chairman of the de-1 partment of Latin. One entire al-! bum is devoted to reproductions of portraits of George Washington and articles about them, contain ing over a hundred entirely dif (Continued on Page Four) Emerald Low-Cost Living Plan Hailed By Students; Unauthorized Protest Made . ^ r — - Interfraternity Group To Act On Resolution Group Illegally Offers Criticism as Official LIVING FLAN SCORED Lower Board Project Is Derided As Fraternity Charges Are Defended The Emerald's program for re duced living costs for hard-pressed students, as proposed in yester day’s issue, was scathingly scored in a resolution purportedly issued I by the Interfraternity council, and signed by Wm. A. Palmer, Harry S. Schenk and Jean L. Grady. Vir gil D. Earl, dean of men and presi dent of the council, in a statement issued last night, declared the res olution was unauthorized and had never been approved by the Inter fraternity council. Group Only Committee The trio, he declared, was mere ly a committee designated to draft a resolution which will be present ed to the council for consideration when it meets Thursday afternoon. The initiative for the formulation of a resolution was undertaken by Harry S. Schenk, president of Sig ma Pi Tau and Jean L. Grady, president of Chi Psi. The resolution, which is printed elsewhere on this page, criticized the Emerald’s plan for reduoed living costs for hard-pressed stu dents, and takes exception to va rious statements contained in the news story and editorial published yesterday. Accuracy Disputed Exaggeration, misinformat ion, and lack of factual foundation were the principal charges hurled at the Emerald by Palmer, Schenk and Grady. Presenting the "reso lution,’’ the trio claimed the av erage fraternity house bill was $38 rather than $40. In reply to the Emerald estimate of dormitory charges of "about $25,” the Inter fraterniby council committee de clared that the monthly costs were $26 plus social fees. Dr. Wulzen Will Teaeli j Part Time at University Dr. Rosalind Wulzen, assistant professor of zoology here, will spend half of each week next term teaching at Oregon State, remain ing the rest of the week in Eugene. Her schedule for next term is as follows: Monday and Tuesday, two labs and two lecture periods in general physiology at this Uni versity: Thursday and Friday, lecture periods and labs in ele mentary physiology and general physiology at Corvallis. Dr. Wulzen stated that she will maintain her home in Eugene, spending week-ends and Wednes days here, and only going to Cor vallis for the two days when she has classes. r $1.54 Per Week? ‘Sure!’ Say Four Oregon Students r<AN a student live on $1.54 " J a week? The editors of the Emerald say, "Yes!'’, and arc willing to prove it. Dick Neuberger and Sterling Green, editor and managing editor respectively, have offered to make a trial test of the Em erald low-cost plan, and are willing to adhere rigidly to the menu printed on this page. Butch Morse and Steve Kahn have volunteered to be the oth er parties to the trial. For one week all four have agreed to eat just what is shown in the annexed menu. All that remains is for the home economics department (or some local eating estab lishment) to provide the food at the $1.54 weekly rate. Norman Thorne Talks Thursday At Gerlinger Hall Meeting First of Series Sponsored By Omega Delta Pi Club For education Students “Characteristics of a good and had teacher” is the subject of a talk to be given by Norman C. Thorne, assistant superintendent in Portland, in a meeting .spon sored by Omega Delta Pi, educa tion club, Thursday evening at 8 p. m. in the Alumni hall of Ger linger. Mr. Thorne, who is also super visor of all teachers in the city schools, has had wide experience in the field and will deliver his talk in the light of his past work. He spoke two years ago to the club on a similar subject. This meeting#of Omego Delta Pi is one of a series in which out standing speakers and educators are sponsored. Following the main talk, a social hour will be enjoyed with refresh ments and dancing. This meeting is open to the public and will be free of charge. The Weather Warmer nights have appeared again in Eugene. The minimum temperature yesterday was 41 de grees, which has been the highest temperature for a long time. The variation between the minimum and maximum has only been seven degrees. THE FORECAST: Cloudy and occasional rain northwest portion and snows in the mountains to day; fresh and strong northwest winds offshore. LOCAL STATISTICS: Minimum temperature yesterday, 41 degrees. Precipitation, .33 of an inch. Wil lamette river, 2.2 feet. Wind from south. It Can Be Done! BOARDING on two-bits a day is not a pipe dream! It can be done. And for the past five months four University graduate students have been doing it and liking it. Thirty dollars a month covers food and gas bills, and the food is plentiful, the Emerald is informed. The boys do their own cooking, buying and budgeting. And by trimming costs carefully they went through the month of Janu ary at a total cost of $55, or a per-man cost a little below 25c a day. Never in the past five months has the cost for board exceeded $7.50 a month per individual. The quartet has plenty to eat. There has been no loss of weight, even though the boys have to go easy on the desserts. Meats are plentiful: pork steak, salmon, beef liver, meat loaf, veal cutlets, beef steak, lamb chops and at least once a day. Do they like it? Well, here's what one of the quartet says: ‘'It s the best possible arrangement for guys that work; it might be better if our mothers cooked for us, but they’re all about a thousand miles away.” Here's a sample menu for a typical day: Breakfast Cereal with Milk Toast and Marmalado Coffee Lunch Vegetable Soup Fried Eggs Bread and Jam Coffee Supper Pork Steak Mashed Potatoes Green Peas Lettuce-Pineapple Salad Loganberries Bread and Butter Coffee Weekly Food Costs Put At $1.54 A Person Balanced Menu Made Up By Local Expert INTEREST IS SEEN Dean Karl Offers Assistance in Bringing Individuals Together By JULIAN PRESCOTT Interest in the cooperative living plan for students on the Oregon campus was evidenced yesterday by approximately 10 students who called Dean Virgil D. Earl in search of further information on the project. The dean signified that while no definite plans had been formulated, he would be glad to aid in bringing students to gether who might join the under taking. Along the line of meals for the groups, a menu of three meals a day for one week was drawn up by the home economics depart ment with the idea of providing a balanced ration, variety, and of keeping cost as low as. possible. It provided for four adults at a total cost of $6.17 for the week. Daily Cost Low The average daily cost of the food for each person, according to the budget, would be 22 cents. Foodstuffs quoted at low prices predominate in the menus. The largest single item is for milk. Other commodities used extensive ly are apples, carrots, spinach, po tatoes, eggs, butter and bread. Several students who i*ead the menu commented that, while lack ing some of the frills, it compared favorably with fraternity fare. Careful planning and proper pre paration would keep the plain food from becoming monotonous, it was believed. Dean in Favor "I am heartily in favor of do ing anything that will aid stu dents in getting their educations,” was the comment of Dean Earl. "Last winter and spring this of fice attempted to get several stu dents started in a cooperative pro ject. Only about 12 were really interested, however.” It is believed that the greater financial stringencies have in duced a larger number of students to become interested in such a pro ject and that it will prove fairly popular. The significant part is that it was men who made the in quiries yesterday, while those tak ing part in the project last year were all women. The tables for the menus were prepared by the home economics department, from information its personnel had on hand. They were gotten up at the request of the editor of the Emerald. The table of prices for the menu which ap pears on page 1 are found else where in the paper. Scabbard, Blade Initiates Twelve Ten active members and two associate members were initiated into Scabbard and Blade Monday. The 10 active initiates, before the ceremonies, marched around the campus wearing R. O. T. C. uni forms and carrying "pop-guns.” The main initiation was held at Gerlinger hall yesterday afternoon, and the formal side of the cere mony was a banquet at Lee-Duke cafe last night. Those initiated were; Col. Amos O. Waller and Major Delbert C. Stanard of the Oregon national guard, associate members; and George Hibbard, John Beard, Al vin McKelligon, Robert Ballard, Bill Bowerman, Bill Morgan, Gene Ison, A1 Stoehr, Philip Mulder, and Howard Bobbitt, active mem bers. Dolloff Wins Jewett Contest Charles Dolloff, second year law student, has been named winner of first prize of $15 in the annual Jewett speaking contest held in Friendly hall Monday evening, speaking on "Academic Freedom.” George Bennett, junior in political science, took second prize of $10. His subject was “Censorship.”
