Sherwood Burr’s orchestra will again furnish the music for these two free affairs and every senior man and woman is urged to come to either date or stag, whichever they wish. One o’clock permission for senior women has been granted following the “Farewell Folly,” but unless this hour is enforced senior privi leges for the remainder of the term will be taken away. Since the members of the fourth-year class have already supplied the necessary financial aid for the entire week-end, it should certafnly be worth their while to attend the dances. APRIL MEET OF BOARD MAY BE POSTPONED (Continued from Page One) that he considers both appointees high class men. Linn E. Jones of Portland and R. M. Duncan of Burns did not care to make a statement at the time. Mr. Jones stated he did not know the men and was waiting for more information concerning them before he cast his vote. Mr. Dun can said that he was in correspon dence with other members of the committee regarding the men. He had not been advised as to the date of meeting and thought that the committee had better vote at a meetting instead of by mail. C. L. Starr, chairman of the state board of higher education, stated that there would doubtless be a quorum of the board at the meeting Monday and that the bus iness at hand could be transacted without the presence of the newly appointed members, but he de clined to state whether or not it would be the plan of the board to go ahead before the appointments were confirmed. gwuiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiminiii!iuiiuiiiiiiiiii!iiiiniiiuiiwiiii!iiitiiiiniuuuiiiiii!iiiiiiuim»uiiir^ Men.... | DON’T READ I THIS Gardenia Boutonieres for Mortar Board Ball Nicely Packed | in individual Boxes and Delivered Promptly 50c EACH Call I's for Prices on § Group Purchases UNIVERSITY FLORIST 598 13th Ave., E.

Noble of the history de partment. The book, which was published by the American Consul of Insti tutions of Pacific Relations, is a symposium covering subjects rang ing from archeology to journal ism. Among the contributers to the book are Mr. Julian Arnold, American attache; Dr. Esson Gale of the Chinese salt administration; Dr. Berthold Laufer, famous arch eologist, and Dr. Arthur W. Hum mel of the Chinese section of the library of congress. It is Dr. Noble’s opinion that this writing should be of great value to any person having an in terest in a career, which in some way would be connected with China and her affairs. The book has been placed in the history reserve section of the lib rary. ENGLAND WAITING FOR ACTION ON BEER TAX (Continued from Pape One) duction in the duty which, since September 11, 1931, has been 134 shillings a standard barrel of 1,055 degrees specific gravity. There is a rebate of 20 shillings a bulk bar rel, but the net equivalent at par is $27.66. This compares with $1.86 a stadard [barrel before the war. The tax has advanced steadily since 1914 until now it is nearly 15 times the pre-war rate. The campaign for a reduction is based on three premises. The brewers claim that the high taxa tion is killing one of the ex chequer’s great sources of revenue, that retail prices are driving beer drinkers to less wholesome bever ages and that agriculture and other allied industries are suffer ing, thus adding to the ranks of the unemployed. Hard cider, which bears no tax but is just as alcoholic as beer, is one of the main substitutes for foaming brews, the campaigners say. They also note a growth in the consumption of a concoction called “red biddy.” This they describe as a cheap wine fortified with al cohol or, in many cases, “needled” with methylated spirit. Consumption of beer, both do mestic and imported, has de clined from 16.2 gallons average for each member of the popula tion in 1923, to 12.7 gallons in the financial year of 1932. In 1914, when the Irish Free State was still part of the United Kingdom, the figure was 27.5. Turning to agriculture, the Al lied Brewery Traders’ association claims that the annual consump tion of hops has fallen by more than 5,000 tons since the emer gency budget of 1931. The mal sters’ association adds that the demand for malting barley in 1931, as compared with 1913, was marked by a decline of 65 per cent. The treasury’s own figures are being used to point the moral on public revenues. They show that the net excise receipts on domes tic beer have declined from the equivalent at par of $461,000,000 in 1923, to $343,500,000 for the 1932 fiscal year. In the meantime, in order to lessen the burden of the duty, brewers have weakened their pro duct. The duty is charged on the mash before fermentation, the standard barrel of 1,055 degrees specific gravity being the refer ence point, each degree higher or lower meaning a difference of about 58 cents. As a result, while the average specific gravity of 1900 beer was 1,054.93, in 1914 it was 1,052.80, and it had fallen in 1932 to 1,041.19.

Gorham Speaks To Stetson Class “Leadership is the art of chang ing people,” Miss Elaine S. Gor ham, Portland Camp Fire Girls executive, said Wednesday after noon at an open meeting of Pro fessor F. L. Stetson’s class in leadership of adolescent groups. Miss Gorham succeeded Miss Louise Nunn as Portland execu tive in November. Few people really understand the meaning of the name “Camp Fire,” Miss Gorham said. Most people only imagine a bunch of girls sitting around a bonfire toasting marshmallows. Really, the name has two distinct and im portant thoughts. “Fire” sym bolizes the hearth about which the home has been built. “Camp” symbolizes all outdoor life—nature study, sports, and actual camp craft.

Hampden Overshadows Rest Of Cast in Tragedy 'Hamlet" By STERLING GREEN A dozen or more University stu dents who journeyed to Portland Wednesday and parted themselves from approximately $2 apiece to see Walter Hampden's “Hamlet,” saw just that—Waiter Hampden in a play called “Hamlet.” It was a one-man show, but if we may be forgiven an Aimee MacPher sonism, What a man! The rest of the cast was what the review ers call “capable"—they were as much a part of the background as the spears or the overhead spots, although two of them, Eve lyn Venable as Ophelia and J. P. Wilson as Polonius, acquitted themselves with distinction, and the play, as a whole, was a magni ficent thing. Hampden himself lived up to all advance press-agentry more than lived up to it. He was restrained, poised, almost sinister; his brittle wit flashed forth cleanly, cutting ly; he seemed to possess almost spiritual power in identifying him self with his role and in grappling to him the strained attention of the great audience. Reports from San Francisco in dicated that Hampden would play a purposeful, heroic, triumphant Hamlet, not the melancholy prey of indecision and a too finely; edged sensibility, as the part -is'i commonly portrayed. But not so. j If Hampden's interpretation was at variance with tradition, it still did not leave the audience con vinced that Hamlet was prevented from carrying out his revenge solely, or even primarily, by the stress of circumstances beyond his control. To prove his point, Hampden included parts of the play which are ordinarily omitted. These portions show that Hamlet had little opportunity to kill the king after Polonius’ death, since he was sent almost immediately to England and attacked by pirates on the way back. But the ordinary reviewer will have a hard time divorcing himself from the opinion that Hamlet had in him self the seed of his own tragic destruction. Evelyn Venable’s Ophelia was magnificent. Tortured by doubt and despair, forsaken, bew'ildered, she carried her audience with her in agonized suspense. If every, soul in Portland's auditorium did not shudder involuntarily at the scene in which her reason finally gives way. then that must have been a calloused soul indeed. The Laertes of the production, Ernest Rowan, was convincingly fiery and impetuous, but com mitted the unpardonable sin of enunciating unintelligibly and the acoustics in Portland’s civic, audi torium, while probably well adapt ed to the presentation of prize fights and military btutd concepts, are none too good, at best. Mabel Moore, the queen, per formed a difficult role nobly. De spite the despicable character she assumed in marrying her hus band's slayer, she managed to be sympathetic and heroic. But the cast, by and large, could have been better. It is not heresy to suspect that Mr. Hamp den, on a road tour with uncer tain prospects of financial success, has surrounded himself with play ers who are not too high-priced. Or perhaps it was simply that Mr. Hampden himself overshadows the best efforts of any who tread the boards with him. MINOR SPORTS’ REVIVAL SOUGHT FOR $200 COST (Continued from Page One) wrestling on the campus were well illustrated by the large attendance at last week’s Order of the “O’’ smoker. Should these sports be re vived, it is likely that expenses could be met by charging 10 cents or so for interschool meets. At present the A. S. U. O. is sponsor for only four sports, foot ball, baseball, basketball, and track. The so-called minor sports wore dropped two years ago when student body funds became low. While various attempts have been made to revive them, the new plan is the first concrete idea offered.

Prof. Mittelman To Complete Book At Vienna School Associate Business Administration Instructor To Finish Personnel .Management. Text E. B. Mittelman, associate pro fessor of business administration, is going to spend six months of the coming year at the psycho technical institute of the Univer sity of Vienna in the way of com pleting his book on personnel management. The field of personnel manage ment in industry was developed in America by engineers, using al most altogether the mechanical technique they were accustomed to use in handling materials. In Europe the same field was devel oped by psychologists, using a technique peculiar to their own work but more appropriate to handling human materials. The engineers have been severe ly criticized for attempting to mechanize a problem that won’t be mechanized. The more progressive amongst them have recognized the point of the criticism, and have counselled moderation in the application of their results. It is for these controversial points that the European psychologists have worked out a technique that has promise. The aim of Mr. Mittel ■nan's book is to integrate the European with the American de velopment. The book is to be pub lished by Longmans. . Rise in Average Grades on Psych Exam Are Shown A decided rise in the average grades on the psychology exami nation during winter and spring terms over those registering in the fall term was revealed today by Dr. Howard R. Taylor of the psy : chology department. Last Tuesday afternoon nine students took this examination which is an indicator of general scholastic ability, or college apti tude. Six of these were freshmen and three transfers. During the winter term and since the fall term examination 21 other fresh men have been given the test. The average score of these 27 fresh men is 177 points, while the ave rage of the nearly 600 freshmen who took the same test in Sep tember was 155 points. Dr. Taylor believes that this rise in averages is due to the fact that freshmen entering in the win ter and spring terms are chiefly those who have been able to finish high school in less than four years. He thinks this may be true in enough cases to account for the in crease, since those students who finish early are, generally speak ing, superior students. 33 Seniors Take Free Health Test Thirty-three seniors have taken advantage of the opportunity to have a complete physical exami nation at the University dispen sary since March 30, according to Dr. Fred N. Miller, head of the University health service. The men havo been found for the most part to be in very good health. Some were suffering from minor ailments, easily cured. The general condition was good, says Dr. Miller. No comparisons have been made with the physical conditions of these same men when they entered the University. The ex aminations have not been given to enough men to be able to make a generalized statement in regard to improvement or decline of health while in school, Dr. Miller stated. On the whole, he believes that physical condition is mtjeh the same at the time of graduation as when the student enters school. | Phi Theta Upsilon Elects Peterson For Second Year Junior - Senior Women’s Service Honorary Holds Organization Meeting for Officers Edith Peterson, Astoria, was re elected president of Phi Theta Up silon.
