alert, commanding the situation
with perfect ease, and with evi
dent pleasure. Questions were
adroitly turned from the general
to the particular and explained
therefrom.
Someone asked:
“What do you think of college
rackets ?”
“I don’t know very much about
the subject. Rackets had not de
veloped when I went to school.
There was no money in athletics
then.”
Recently Mr. Steffens was de
feated for the position of school
trustee in California. His ideas
seemed too modern for the voters.
Upon this subject, he replied:
“If I were elected as school trus
tee, I promised the people to or
ganize a Hoover fact-finding com
mission whose purpose would be
to find out from all the grown
ups what they had learned in
school and what they now be
lieved. I would then have their
children taught the direct oppo
site.”
One of the group formed around
Mr. Steffens asked him what he
thought of the journalism of to
day.
“Modern journalists tend too
much toward the sensational. The
fundamental purpose of journal
ism is to communicate the facts
as they actually are. It should be
the connecting link between
knowledge and the people who
wish to know. There is an open
field for the journalist who pos
sesses communicative skill and
has a good background in some
special line.”
One of the reporters ventured:
“What do you think of women in
journalism?”
Obviously amused, he answer
ed: “I always found great use for
women. You can send a woman
in a lot of places where a man
can’t go. You see, you can’t have
your best man shot, but women—”
Rising graciously, Mr. Steffens
offered to assist those around him
with their coats. Everyone real
ized the interview was over. Bid
ding goodnight, he laughingly
said:
“And remember, young report
ers, it isn’t just what a man who
is interviewed says, but hlso the
way he acts, that’s important.”
Mr. Steffens will be a guest at
Dean Eric W. Allen’s home to
night at dinner, following which
he will be honored at a reception
sponsored jointly by Sigma Delta
Chi and Theta Sigma Phi. All
students and faculty members are
invited. Steffens was met at the
train yesterday by Dean Allen,
Prof. S. Stephenson Smith, George
H. Godfrey, Dick Neuberger, and
David Bruce Hamby.

■ CINEMA
By BOB GUILD
Wheeler and W’oolsey at the Mc
Donald burst forth last night in
their latest laugh-epic—surely one
of their most uproarious. Burlesq
ing the ubiquitous Martin Johnson,
these intrepid funsters journey in
to darkest Africa to confront the
Amazons in their lair.
Everything goes—and the cracks
are fast, furious, and not always
nice. They are invariably funny,
however. Don't know when I've
seen these two fools funnier.
*■ * *
There are snakes and snakes to
make "Trouble in Paradise.” but
this particular one had hips. Ernst
Lubitsch directed her—Kay Fran
cis, Miriam Hopkins, and Herbert
Marshall, appearing at the Colon
ial tonight in the year's smartest,
fluffiest and most entertaining pic
ture.
To the hardened movie-goer
there are certain things that inevi
tably spell Lubitsch—pantomime,
comedy, sophistication — expert
musical scores. "Trouble in Par
adise" lacks none of them. These
three cheerfully dispense with or
dinary moral shibboleths. Perhaps
half the charm of the picture is
due to its refreshing lack of puri
tan ethics. Good people could
never be as delightful as these.
Nothing heavy about it—this is
first-rate cinema from its begin
ning to end.
* « *
“The Big Drive" is coming to
the Colonial soon—this is an act
ual, and official film of the Great
War taken from the files of all
the nations. For realism, stark and
unaltered scenes of hand to hand
comhat in the trenches are pre
sented. The mobilization of the va
rious nations, including many
training camp shots, is fully de
picted and the movement of troops
up to the front where many of the
best shots were made, is excep
tionally vivid.
German Majors
Form New Group
Der Deutche Verein, new Ger
man club, which has been organ
ized under the advisorship of Dr.
E. A. Pollard of the German de
partment, met last night at the
Westminster house for the purpose
of definite organization.
Officers elected were as follows:
President, Robert Brown; vice
president, James Dutton; secre
tary, Helen Abel; treasurer, Hen
ry Mann; sergeant-at-arms, Fred
erick Smith; editor, Louise Ander
son.
Following a business meeting a
program was given during which
Grace Burnett of the German de
partment gave two solos in Ger
man. Miss Burnett is a soprano
and sang in the “Messiah” last
year.
Ted Giesecke, Charles White and
Norman Burke then presented a
humorous skit of a barber shop
scene, in the German language.
WASHINGTON, LEE PLAN
SAID TO FOLLOW OREGON
(ContinuAi from rape One)
and was still bent upon developing
it when he died, in 1870.
Lately, said Dean Allen, Lee’s
old university has been building
vigorously upon the journalistic
foundation laid by the hero of the
Confederacy. The plan described
yesterday, from Editor and Pub
lisher, consists of the adoption in
toto of a plan of instruction that
has been worked out on original
lines at Oregon.
Technical Work Cut
The essence of the change is
the condensation of the technical
work, which is reduced in amount
and crowded mostly into the jun
ior year, and the substitution, par
ticularly in the senior year, of
work intended, says the Virginia
announcement, to “correlate the
mass of miscellaneous information
and methodology acquired in va
rious college courses and apply it
to the reportorial and editorial
treatment of public questions.”
This means, says the Oregon
dean, establishing as the mainstay
of the system a course which or
iginated at Oregon and which is
here called “Investigative Meth
ods in Editing.” At Washington
and Lee it will be called “Correla
tion of Journalism.” Dean Allen
has for years been a strong pro
ponent of this type of journalistic
education. He reports that he is
now in receipt of inquiries from
one of the large middle western
universities which also is consid
ering the installation of the Ore
gon system. Several institutions
have already adopted the idea in
part.
Technique Secondary
“After all," said Dean Allen yes
terday, "the newspaperman’s main
business is dealing with public af
fairs. Techniques are important
but secondary. A study of the so
cial sciences alone does not quite
fill the bill because, as Francis
Bacon acutely remarked, ‘studies
teach not their own use.’ Our aim
in our advanced courses is to teach
the journalistic use of economic,
political, social and historical
knowledge and methods. It is
naturally pleasing to see other in
stitutions coming around to our
way of thinking, and I think that
virtually all recent curricular
changes have been in our direc
1 Hnn.”

The Co-op reports that students
have responded eagerly to the call
for second-hand books and have
brought In a large number of
books for the first day. Also a
few more books have been added
to the list and it is hoped that in
a few days it will be complete.

plan good and seem anxious to sell

on new ones.

ning, although some of the solo
ists will be sent ahead of the
bands. Twenty bands will com
pete in Saturday’s competition.
The three division champions
that won laurels last year at Ore
gon State college will be in the
contest to defend them against the
best bands in the state. Jefferson
high of Portland will defend her
championship in class A, Silverton
will be out to retain her leadership
in class B, and Hill Military acad
emy of Portland will compete to
win her second championship in
class C. The band contests will
be held at McArthur court and a
fee of 25 cents will be made for
adults. University, high school,
and grade school students will be
admitted for 10 cents.
Among the 20 bands that will
compete are: Jefferson and Grant
of Portland, Woodrow Wilson
junior high and Eugene high of
Eugene, Medford, Klamath Falls,
Salem, Albany, Corvallis, Marsh
field, Irrigon, Oregon City, West
Linn, LaGrande, Estacada, Beaver
ton, Seaside, Silverton, St. Helens,
and Hill Military academy of
Portland.
The schools are classed in the
various divisions by their enroll
ment. Schools over 600 enroll
ment will be in class A, those with
enrollments from 400 to 600 will
be in class B, and schools under
400 will be in class C. Bands that
have been organized less than one
year may step down one class.
Class C will be limited to 25-piece
bands, class B will have bands to
30 pieces, and class A is unlimited.
Bands in class A will be re
quired to play “Maritana Over
ture” by Wallace, class B bands
must play “Lustspiel Overture” by
Keler-Bela, and class C bands will
play “Iron Count Overture” by
King. Each band will play one
piece of its own selection, and also
a warm-up number that will not
be judged, but will be significant
as several of the bands will play
pieces composed by their band
masters, who are entering them
in a composition contest for band
masters.

PROF. E. L. FREEMAN RE
VIEWS STEFFENS' BOOK
(Continued from I’ogc One)
the result, not of wickedness, but
of a system of social organization
which is mainly economic in its
control and import, but which pre
tends to be run on political prin
ciples. The result is a public life
full of fraud, strife and hypoc
racy.
Steffens seems not to believe in
sin. The ‘'fall" in Eden was caused
by the apple, rather than by the
will of either human parent. The
apple now is an economic privi
lege. Graft is no worse than much
business, and just as unavoidable
under our system of government.
Until we choose to give up the
privilege system and establish eco
nomic democracy, the only im
provement we can make is to learn
to put efficient bad men in reform
movement periods. Steffen’s large
success at muckraking left him
with a conviction of the entire fu
tility of reform within the existing
economic pattern of life. But he
sees the world changing for the
better.

ment, andd W. V. Fuller, Oregon
state board of forestry, will speak.
The presentation is a part of the
