Last Concert Of Term Will Be Presented Tomorrow At Igloo Band Will Be Under Baton Of John Stehn Program Will Commence At 3 o’Cloek Both Divisions To Play Overtures, Dances, and Matches In Sixth Presentation by ASl'O lumorrow win oe tne last con cert Sunday” to be enjoyed by students this term. With the con cert to be given by the University concert band at McArthur court at 3 p. m., the series of 12 free concerts sponsored by the Asso ciated Students will be suspended until the first Sunday in April, when campus affairs will have re turned to normal at the beginning of a new term. For the first time since he has organized a first and second di vision of the University concert band, Director John H. Stehn will present both 35-piece divisions combined into one 70-piece band. This has been possible this year because the experience and quality of members of the second division qualifies them for a joint effort with the veteran first division. Selections Are Varied Stehn has accordingly arranged a program particularly suitable for performance by a large band. It takes full strength in every in strument sectidn to do justice to the four parts of the famous “Wil liam Tell” over ture, which is a headliner on tomorrows program: This overture to Rossini’s opera has been enduringly popular for generations, and is generally con sidered one of the best pieces of descriptive music extant, particu larly the second section, which is a tone-poem of a storm in the Alph. Another major piece on the pro gram will be Suppe’s famous over ture, “Morning, Noon and Night in Vienna,” which is about as differ ent from the "William Tell” as one overture can be from another. Contrasts Rhythmical Three of Moskowski’s Spanish dances and the “La Serenata” waltzes by D’Arcy Jaxone will pro vide rhythmical contrast to the two overtures. No band concert, of course, is complete without a march or two, and Stehn announces a brace of marches of different types for this program. The concert will open with an old stand-by of military bands, Grafulla’s florid “Washing ton Greys” march. The last num ber on the program will be the dramatic processional, “Triumphal March” from Verdi’s “Aida.” This is one of the few operatic compo sitions which is particularly suited for presentation by a military band. Admission is free to students and townspeople. SNARLING WEBFOOTS • FRIGHTEN CORVALLIS (Continued, from Page One) Robertson, who let fly from the middle of the court for a perfect bucket. Again he turned around and shot another from almost the same spot to put Oregon back into the lead, 21 to 20. Olinger Checks O’Connell The O'Conneil-Olinger shift was made again, and the two boys went back to it, hammer and tongs. Roberts increased his team’s lead with a free throw, but com mitted a foul himself shortly af terwards and followed Simons to the bench with his fourth person al. His place was taken by Bob Miller, who worked in nicely, com ing through with a nice bucket right after Robertson’s fifth long one, putting Oregon into a tidy three-point advantage. With less than three minutes to go, the Webfoots began to stall, but the Staters got the ball and McDonald tied up the ball game at 26 all with another field goal and a free throw on Stevens’ foul, necessitating an extra period. Stands in Uproar The five-minute overtime period started with the stands in an up roar and the two coaches spitting cotton. Slats Gill had visions of the championship slipping through his fingers, and Bill Reinhart saw possibilities of saving the series. After the first couple of min utes, however, there was no doubt as to the outcome. Lenchitsky slipped in a short shot, and Lewis converted after Miller had slapped his wrrist on the tip-off. McDon ald slapped in a bucket to give the Gill men a five-point lead with two minutes remaining to play. Robertson Closes (lap Robertson partially closed the breach with a gift shot, but Len chitsky put the final stitch in the bag with a free throw on Berg’s foul. Cap Roberts played the game of his life last night. He saw his team out ahead before he had to quit the game and was tied with Rob ertson and McDonald for high point honor, at 11 Robertson war distinctly "on,” sinking five beau Double Strength! For the first time In his three years as director of the University band, the gentlemen above, Mr, John H. Stehn, has combined the first and second concert divisions into one large 70-piece band for the program to be given at Mc Arthur court tomorrow afternoon at 8 o'clock. Wisconsin Prexy Protests Against Educational Cuts Glenn Frank Blames Government Attempts To Fix Budget For Conditions MINNEAPOLIS, Minn, March 3 — (Special) — Flaying America’s economic leadership for striking a death blow at “scientific, social, and educational enterprises” in an effort to balance the nation's bud get, President Glenn Frank of the University of Wisconsin won the applause of 6,000 educators attend ing the convention of the depart ment of superintendents of the Na tional Education association here this week. “I protest the current attempt to make socio-educational leader ship the scapegoat for the sins of economic leadership,” Dr. Frank said. "This very leadership that has done the most to unbalance the na tion’s life is insisting that we bal ance the nation’s budget by plung ing the sword to the heart of all those scientific, social, and educa tional enterprises to which we alone can look to produce a leader ship that might conceivably use this magnificent machine economy of ours to free the race from drudgery, poverty, and insecurity, instead of letting it starve in the midst of plenty,” he declared. Widening roads made in the na tional income by tax drafts are a result of the sins of economic lead ership, "incapable of steering our economic ship past the shoals of depression,” criticized Dr. Frank. He also lashed out against the "unintelligent and unjustified” at tempts to blame development of public services for increased tax ation. tifully arched baskets from mid floor, besides playing a bang-up defensive game. McDonald and Lewis were the sparkplugs of the Orange machine, Lewis making 10 points. Final Tilt Tonight The last game of the conference takes place tonight at 7:30 in the igloo. If hostilities are continued from where they left off last night the fans are in for a thrilling eve ning. Referee Jimmy Mitchell, called from Spokane to sub for Emil Pi luso, worked a very satisfactory game, and booing was at a mini mum.

A I University Is Selected F or Methods Tesl i Ways of Teaching Science To Be Investigated $5,000 Carnegie Grant Obtained For Project: Committee To Direct Work The efficiency of the laboratorj method of teaching science, as compared with other types oi teaching, will be determined at the University of Oregon as a result of one of the most interesting ex periments now being carried on in higher education in the United States, the recent'report of R. W. j Leighton, executive secretary of research, shows. The University project, for I which a grant of $5,000 has been obtained from the Carnegie foun dation, will include the fields of chemistry, biology, physiCs, psy chology, and geology. The work is being carHed on by a commit tee of six, which includes Dr. Leighton, Dr. R. R. Huestis in biology, Dr. Rosalind Wulzen in biology, Dr. R. H. Seashore in psy chology, and W. D. Wilkinson and Dr. E. L. Packard in geology. Plan Explained The plan now in operation calls a determination of objectives of teaching in the fields chosen, re vision of courses in which the ex periments are carried on, devel opment Of examinations which will measure degree of attainment of objectives, ana setting up of experimental and control classes. Experiment in each field of sci ence chosen will follow closely the example described in the report in detail, that of physics. Work in this subject has been under way for a year in two phases. The first of these is collecting opinion con cerning laboratory methods from authoritative sources, and the sec ond is actual work with students. Evaluation by Groups Evaluation of achievement of students is arrived at by selecting two groups, one that has had basic material presented in lectures and the other by the laboratory meth od, and giving them tests com posed of questions which are care fully prepared to measure the out come. As an example, each time that the laboratory methods are found to have increased the achievement of the students, the particular point measured is re corded as an outcome of labora tory teaching and the questions are kept as items to be used in the ex aminations. As an illustration, the report cites that it now seems evident that after lecture methods stu dents are able to give definitions of surface tension, accelerated mo tion, etc., but that usable concepts of them are best developed by laboratory methods. Requests have been sent to ap proximately 950 departments of physics in American and Canadian colleges, and to date more than 150 responses have been received. These will be summarized, and are expected to be of material aid in the work. The project is a part of the pro gram of improvement of teaching, a development at the University which has already attracted na tional attention. Dean s Office To Check Off-Campus Dwellers Upper division men students who live off the campus will receive letters relative to the housing reg ulations for the spring term. There is only one residence re quirement for men students in the upper division of the University of Oregon. They must live in a resi dence on the approved list. If those who now live outside wish to continue in their present places of residence during the spring term or if they wish to change their places of residence they should clear with the dean of men's of fice before the end of the winter term. Blanks for women students and men students in the lower division for petitions to live off the campus were sent out recently. Wednes day was the day on which these w-ere due. Approximately 300 pe titions have been returned, two thirds of these being men’s peti tions. George Hibbard Selected To Head Junior Week-End EORGE HIBBARD of Port land has been appointed chairman of Junior Week-end, to be held May 12, 13, and 14, j it was announced yesterday by Neal Bush, class president. Helen Burns has been ap pointed Mother's day fchairman, but Hibbard will announce the * i complete directorate soon after spring term registration. i-— I. Once More We Present the Concrete Statement of Our Plan — for — ! REDUCED LIVING COSTS # For Hiird-l’rossod Students r^0 PRESERVE the benefits of higher education to students fac I ir.g financial problems that prohibit continuance at the Univer sity under the present scale of board and residence charges and to offer the opportunity of collegiate training to greater numbers of students with limited funds, the Oregon Daily Emerald submits the ; following proposal for reduced living costs. Confident that students intent upon obtaining an education will gladly forego many of the luxuries and conveniences now offered l in campus living institutions, recommendation is hereby made that administrative authorities investigate the feasibility of establishing a low root living program that will provide board and residence at a cost of from $10 to $15 per month. With dormitory facilities now being only partially used, provision might be made for renting units (such as Friendly and Hendricks halls) at bare maintenance cost3 (light, heat, water, laundry), al lowing residents to perform the necessary cleaning chores under the supervision of graduate students. Provide a simple, balanced diet, consisting of the less expensive foods, and arrange for residents of the group to perform all the necessary duties in connection- vyith preparing and serving meats, except the actual cooking. By diverting a portion of the funds to ! food that students now pay for rent in private homes, students can be given regular, nutritious meals, a necessity many are now fail ing to obtain. The Oregon Daily Emerald believes that scores of students are ready to make substantial sacrifices to obtain an education, and will willingly enter into a supervised, cooperative plan that will permit them to continue at the University at the reduced costs proposed above. It is suggested that immediate attention be given this proposal so that definite provision may be made for reduced liv ing costs for the ensuing term. Religion Survey To Be Conducted Here Next Week Parsons To Give Questionnaires To 1000 Students To Find Attitudes, Objectives A survey to determine the reli gious tendencies of -students will be conducted on the campus next week by Philip A. Parsons, profes sor of sociology, under the auspices of the North American Board for the Study of Religion in Higher Education. Parsons, president of the board in the Pacific area, is to submit questionnaires through the help of professors, and hopes to get re turns from 300 freshmen, 300 sophomores, 200 juniors, and 200 seniors. The object of the survey is to determine just what changes the religious attitude of the aver age student undergoes as he nears the end of his college career, and also to find just what the religious background of each has been. The board is made up of 12 de nominations, Catholics, and Jews, and originated soon after the founding of the religious center in Los Angeles. Each. religious group' has representatives among the of ficers of the board, making it en tirely non-denominational. Identical surveys are being made among most of the colleges in the west at the present time, due to the efforts of Dr. Parsons. Dur ing fall term, Dr. Parsons visited 17 universities and colleges, all of which are conducting the survey with the possible exception of two. Upon his return to the Univer sity of Oregon campus, Dr. Par sons made up his list of questions i to be used among the students. It is divided into three groups. Group number one deals with the religi j ous background of the student, i group number two with his high j school experiences religiously, and the last with his or her present ' religious status. The results of the entire survey are to be compiled and presented to a conference of representatives, to be held in Portland, April 4 and 5. Mu Phi Epsilon Names New Heads at Election Election for officers was held at the meeting of Mu Phi Epsilon Thursday.

Rosson, Mr. and Mrs. Virgil D. | Earl, Mr. and Mrs. George H. God i frey, and Tom Stoddard. Members of Kwama, sophomore women’s service honorary, have been invit ed to attend, as the refurnishing of the lodge has been taken as the group project for the year. Cars will leave for the trip at about 7:30 a. m., and breakfast is planned for 9 o’clock. I W.C. Warren Cites Benefit Of Insurance Graduate Writes Article in Magazine interest in Protection for .Joldess in IT. S. Traced Since England Passed I.uWn in 1!)1I Oregon wouiu oeneiu irom some form of unemployment insurance, just a3 it has benefited from other social legislation, it Is declared in one of the leading articles in the recent Commonwealth Review, journal of opinion published by the college of social science of the University. The article, which is illustrated by examples of legislation and proposed legislation in other state3, was written by Willis C. Warren, graduate student in economics here. Safeguards Meagre “The worker in Oregon now has j but two safeguards from unem ployment, his own savings and charity," Warren points out. "The first is decidedly limited, and the second has long been recognized as not only an Inadequate but im proper method of dealing with such situations.” The article traces the growing interest. in unemployment Insur ance in the United States since Great Britain passed such lews in 1911, up to the passage of the first state unemployment insurance law by Wisconsin in 1932. The Wis consin law makes it compulsory for employers to build up a re serve from which employees may draw during time of unemploy ment, the amount to be regulated by -regular wage scale, length of employment, and other conditions. Insurance Plans Shown Both the Wisconsin plan and the proposals of the Ohio commission are given in detail and analyzed in the article. The need for such leg islation in Oregon is also shown by analyzing occupations of workers and by considering other features. Warren cites the workmen's compensation laws of Oregon as a highly desirable type of social leg islation and points out similar benefits could accrue from unem ployment insurance. April 27 Is Date For Next Reading Of Amendments AMENDMENTS to the A. S. **• U. O. constitution, having been read at two unofficial meetings this term, will be re read April 27 when nominations for student body officers will take place, Bob Hall, president, announced yesterday. The two meetings were de clared unofficial because of failure to give a 24-hour notice for the first and because only 277 students students were present instead of the 500 necessary to constitute a quo rum at the second.

Students who have been unable to obtain tickets for the Military ball at the Eugene hotel tonight may buy them at the dance. Pi Lambda Theta picture for the Oregana will be taken Tues day at 1:40 in front of the Edu cation building for the last time. LINCOLN STEFFENS MAY LECTURE ON CAMPUS (Continued from Page One) versity lecture committee also had in mind two other noted men Who may give lectures here this coming spring term. The first of these i3 Dr. Henry N. Wieman, professor of philosophy and religion at the University-of Chicago. The other is Dr. John Leighton Stuart, presi dent of Yenchihg university, Peip ing China. Dates for these lectures have not been definitely arranged, due to the disturbance in northern China and Manchuria, and it is ex tremely doubtful whether Dr. Stu are will even be leaving his uni versity for this country. Good style is never extreme. If you look around at the people who dress in good taste, you’ll see that there’s never anything flashy” about what they wear. I Come to think of it... it’s very much the same with ciga rettes. No cigarette should ever be "strong.” That means that they should never be too rich or over seasoned—not harsh or "bitey.” The taste of a Chesterfield is just as near right as we know how to make it. Not tasteless or flat, not too highly flavored for steady smok ing, but with just the right kinds of tobaccos blended the one right way to satisfy. i Chesterfields are mild. They taste better.
