trict" in which the sale of beer
will be prohibited is contemplated
by restaurant and store operators,
it was said last night by E. O. Im
mel, who has been retained as their
attorney. However, should it be
found that the ordinance works a
hardship on the business houses
within the district, it probably will
be contested.
“If the results of the regulation
show a hardship suffered by res
taurants and stores near the cam
pus that is not felt by those a few
blocks away, the regulation will
bo contested on the grounds that
it is discrimnatory,” Mr. Immel
stated.
It is understood that the city is
preparing to defend its action in
declaring the district closed to the
*ile of beer. S. M. Calkins, city
attorney, would not comment, how
ever.
What o Ho?
Student speculation was running
rife yesterday as to just what the
stand of the administration will be
on the frequenting by students of
places where beer is sold. There
was also considerable conjecture
as to whether the foamy bever
age would be permitted in houses
or halls.
Announcements from the Uni
versity of Washington to the ef
fect that the administration there
would place no ban on it, aroused
much interest in what action the
individual organization at Seattle
would take. Many, holding to the
view that students there are much
more liberal, believe that no bans
would be raised. Others pointed to
the restrictions placed by the na
tional organizations and believed
that the majority of houses would
place similar limitations.
DR. CERF CALLS MODERN
EDUCATION ‘TRAVESTY’
(Continued from Page One)
■ “our education has been far from
a success. The people of a land
come to be known by their gen
eral education and not by special
ization.
“We rank well technically. The
reason is perfectly clear—we are
after success. Why do we pay al
legiance to this barbaric ideal of
success, which concerns money,
power and fame ? Does the west
ern world care to sacrifice every
thing else to those three things?
Is that our national ideal?”
Parents at Fault
“We parents are a lot of con
founded sentimentalists,” he said.
“We are soft and squashy. I ad
mit that I am terribly old-fash
ioned, for I believe in discipline.
Some time every boy and every
girl will have to be on his own in
the world. Then he will bump
straight into life. It is a crime
to our youngsters to send them
forth not having learned that a
job is to be done whether they like
it or not. There is an extremely
gentle way of applying discipline.
It simply means giving youth a job
to do and then seeing that it is
done. When he complains that it
is hard, the answer is ‘yes. It is
silly to waste time with things
that are easy.’ ”
“I wish,” Dr. Cerf concluded,
“that we could become sensible
about our colleges. Youth should
be sent there to work. What we
need is more scholarships for those
willing to profit from education. I
could easily distribute 15 scholar
ships at Reed if I had them, among
students who would benefit their
country.”
IMBIBERS TROUBLED
BEFORE PROHIBITION
(Continued from Page One)
college professors should be mod
els of propriety," Dr. Sheldon said,
smiling. A professor who appeared
even slightly tipsy in a place where
students might see him would
probably lose his job.
He told of one case in which a
certain instructor, to be on the
safe side, had his liquor shipped in
labeled Rooks. The Wells-Fargo
agent was a great prohibitionist.
One day the instructor received a
brief, but pointed note:
“Dear Professor: Please call and
get your books. They are leak
ing.”

the faculty had its troubles. But
they went to bed early or stayed
home nights or something, so they
never* actually saw the storied
“last car" from Springfield. The
legend goes that some of the fra
ternity brothers who came back
on that last car from wet Spring
field were quite unable to tumble
up their steps unassisted, so the
thoughtful conductor would stop
the car and escort them individual
ly to their doors.

Some time ago I referred to a
local play as "fantasy,” and was
told by a producer in a position to
: know that I’d made a mistake in
my publicity; that the public shies
off fantasy. Hollywood, with its
perpetual weather eye cocked to
ward box office receipts, doesn’t
think so. And local impressarios
could take a page from their
book, sometimes, when it comes to
the painful matter of paying ex
penses.
Whimsy is definitely in, in the
1933 Hollywood order. Cinderella
gets her innings again, in the new
est Gaynor-Farrell opus, “Adora

obeying natural laws. “Gulliver's
Travels” is being made in techni
color. using the new large screen.
And Walt Disney is making “Al
ice in Wonderland” — not with
Mickey Mouse, but with a real
enough goldilocks. A new Peter
Pan" is in production. Whimsy is
in this season another sign of the
times. The depression is making
us giddy.

German Film To Open
Run at Colonial Today
“Maedchen in Uniform,” widely
heralded German picture, which
opens at the Colonial theatre to
day is called by critics a composi
tion of rare and fragile beauty. The
picture was given a long first run
engagement in a major theatre in
Portland recently. In large east
ern cities the picture was praised
by critics as being the finest pic
ture of the year, even in competi
tion with American product.
The story is built around the
psychological angle that adoles
cence requires affection. The cen
tral character of the story is a
motherless girl, sensitive, affec
tionate child, who is thrust into a
pre-war Prussian school for army
officers’ daughters.
English sub-titles explain each
scene where there is any doubt as
to the action, but it is done so as
not to disrupt the German dia
logue.
University Depot Gets
Several Lost Articles
The lost and found department
in the University depot has one
pair of tennis shoes, and a brown
beret to offer as the day’s find.
A purse, an umbrella, pens, pen

articles students have lost during
the writer, still to be reclaimed.
If the girl who lost a purse, and
then called for it will call again
and describe the contents as well
the second time, she may have it.
The purse came in soon after she
had called.

Expedition Flies
Over Highest Part
Of Mount Everest
11EPORTS on the campus yes
terday rumored that a half
brother of Paul Austen, former
student here, was with the ex
! pedition that yesterday flew
i over Mount Everest, highest
peak on earth, for the first
time in history. From a height
of 31,000 feet, the intrepid
aviators looked down on the
29,140 feet monster of ice and
snow that has defied man for
centuries.
The expedition now will at
tempt to scale the peak by land,
using the planes as scouting
auxiliaries. In the past twenty
years more than a score of men
have perished in futile at
attempts to climb Everest. The
last to succumb were Mallory
and Irvine, who disappeared
after reaching the level of 28,
000 feet.

H i I le r Biography
A mo a /> The New
Additions to Libe
By AUDREY CLARK
The outstanding personality
among the library’s new biog
raphies is that of Hitler, Ger
many’s “iron man” of the hour,
written by Emil Lengyel, well
known student of Central Euro
pean political movements. Through
the activities of Hitler a fast-mov
ing picture of the cross-currents
of the Germany of today is pre
sented.
The latest addition to John K.
Winkler's list of biographies of fa
mous men is that Woodrow Wilson
characterized by Winkler as “the
man who lives on.” Past suc
cesses of this author include “Moe
gan, the Magnificent” and "In
credible Carnegie." A second new
account of a man of the past con
cerns “Henry Adams” and is writ
ten by the even more noted James
Truslow Adams.
Frank Lloyd Wright, famous ar
chitect who visited this campus
two years ago, has made a vivid
contribution to late biographies, in
this story of his life the adven
tures of Wright, the architect, arc
blended with the dramatic events
of the personal life of Wright, the
man. While here Wright held a
display of plans and miniature
models of homes and business
buildings in the art building.
"American Outpost; a book of
reminiscences" is Upton Sinclair's
individual attempt to explain the
forces in his environment which
have made of him such a strange
mixture of Puritan and revolution
ist.
A largely autobiographical
sketch of New England coast life
during the last decade is found in
“A Goodly Heritage,” by Mary
Ellen Chase., More than a descrip
tion of events is an insight into
the blending of the puritan, clas
sical and seafaring forces in the
life of these people.
One Infirmary Patient
The infirmary is starting the
new term right. Only one patient
has been confined since registra
tion, and she was released, leav
ing an empty house. Miss Rob
ertson, nurse at the infirmary,
thinks it too early in the season
for any eases of "overworked”
nerves, so plain laziness can be the
only excuse for seeking a rest cure.
GUILD PRODUCTION WILL
FEATURE NEW ACTORS
(Continued frow Pa ye One)
justments in the cast have been
made necessary, and these will
[have to be settled before announce
ment of individual roles can be,
* made.
"Airs. Partridge Presents" is the j
I story of two young people, a
brother and sister, who are un-'
able to live up to their mother’s
ambitions for them. Mrs. Part
ridge, a gifted and charming
woman whose early marriage had
made it impossible for her to de
velop her own interests and abili
ties in the arts, tries to provide
for her children the opportunities
for which she had so longed in her
own youth . The girl is to be a
I great actress the boy an artist;
I but the girl is by nature a home
| maker and the boy wants above
everything else to be an engineer.
, The futile efforts of the two chil
I drcn to live up to their mother’s
hopes for them provide many com
edy scenes.
This is the comedy in which
Ruth Gordon, well known comedi
enne who is now appearing in’
“Three Cornered Moon, ’ made one
of her outstanding successes.,,,

Series of Exhibitions
Coming to Art School
The art school plans to bring a
series of valuable exhibitions to
the campus this term, announced
Mr. Lance Hart, assistant profes
sor of drawing and painting.
The last exhibition of winter
term brought here by Miss Maude
Kerns, assistant professor of nor
mal art, was from the Alameda
high school, Alameda, California.
The work of these students re
ceived the highest recognition at
the international show of high
school students’ work of California
shown in the Palace of Legion of
Honor at San Francisco. This
w'ork, showing the more modern
trend in art education, was taught
by Miss Shermann and by Mrs.
Elizabeth Smith, a student of Hans
Hoffman of Munich, Germany, and
L’Hote of Paris. One of their stu
dents received the third prize of
the international competition.
yhis exhibit was brought here
for thp benefit of the students in
the city high schools, the campus
high, and especially for the stu
dents of the normal art depart
ment.
