Senior Leap week will follow the
flying start of yesterday when it
enters the second day of gaiety
this afternoon with the Delta
Gamble at 3:30 o'clock. Frances
Keene, chairman, will be assisted
by Annabell Powell, Frances
Drake, and Anne Kistner. Re
freshments will be served during
the two hour tea dance.
Tonight, the "Farewell Folly" in
all its glory, will carry out the
idea of "school days.” Dunce caps,
blackboards, animal cookies, and
even a recess will be the main fea
tures of the decorative scheme.
Adele Hitc'nman, as chairman,
will be aided by Helen Raitanen,
Emmabell Stadden, and Dorothy
Foss. Women will dress in ging
ham dresses and men in cords in
order to better carry out the mo
tive for the Farewell dance.
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.

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.

Noble Recieves
Book On Possible
Careers in China
A book of interest to students
interested in a career in China is,
“Careers for Students of the
Chinese Language and Civiliza
tion,” recently received by Dr.
Harold J. 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.

vision of the North American
board for the study of religion in
higher education to be held here

and character influences in state
institutions of higher learning
west of the Rocky mountains. Dr.
Parsons visited campuses of all
leading institutions and the care
fully gathered data is expected
to be of great interest to those
working in the field.
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. |

Your Own Drama!
Events pile up in the papers --fires, murders, divorces—
things unexpected, that happen to others, happen not
often, and entertain you because they haven’t happened
to you.
Yet elsewhere in the papers are things to make happen to
you-—every day—in the way you want them—happen
pleasantly, intimately, and at once! Advertised things.
News in the advertisements helps you make your daily
drama please you most. Helps you find the talcum and
shaving lotion that can act best for you. This cream for
smooth skin; this gasoline to enliven your car; a richer
flavor to your ice cream; here a more comfortably built
shoe. When you bathe, dress, eat, shut a door, ride to
school, you can use the best conveniences the world offers
you to use—if you read the advertisements and take ad
vantage of their news. Honest news. Their facts proved
honest by the thousands of enjoyers of each product.
Prices of products made low because thousands enjoy
them with you. Don’t slight that part of the paper that
is FRIENDLIEST.
Read the advertisements. They
make you pleased about
the daily things you do
