English Staff Lessened by 10 Members Department Composed Of Twenty-Eight Lack of Sufficient Fuads Causes Dismissal of Assistants Of Last Year Contrary to former reports that the English department of the Uni versity had added to its staff six new assistants comes the authen tic information that the depart ment has had a loss of 10 instruc tors. This year the operating staff is composed of 28 members as against 38 of last year. The ac tual teaching load, however, has suffered a loss of about 3 full time teachers. L. L. Lewis, assistant professor of English, has returned after a two-year leave of absence, and he has replaced three graduate as sistants. J. C. McCloskey, coming from Oregon State college, has taken oyer a part of E. G. Moll's work in order that the latter might carry out a research project in connection with the Carnegie art appreciation survey. Professor R. H. Ernst is now on one-quarter time instead of half time. Miss Casper is periodical li brarian this year and therefore is not on the English staff. P. X. Knoll is teaching half time in the public speaking division in place of R. T. Oliver. H. W. Robinson has replaced G. L. Andreini, who resigned from the drama division. Walter Kidd has replaced Bruce Jennings as graduate assistant. William Thienes took the place of Donald Confrey as secretary in the drama division. J. W. Angell, Edward Kittoe, and Henry Pettit have been reappointed as graduate assistants this year. Miss Florence Jones, formerly graduate assistant in the English department and in structor in English at the Univer sity of Idaho, is teaching classes in English composition. Because of lack of sufficient funds the department was unable to place other assistants who were members of the department last year. The following were released: Pat Merrick, Margaret Wiley, Wen dell Smith, Florence Thompson, Harry Lancaster, Grenville Jones! Paul Hartmus, Jack Dunbar, W. C. McKennon, Hope Shelley, Bert Evans, and Ruth Jackson. H. G. Haugsten, manager of the Daily Journal of Commerce, of Portland, visited the journalism department October 4. His daugh ter, Helen, is a freshman at the University. STETSON tikes making hats for Coitege Men COLLEGE MEN have a way of bringing out the best that’s in a hat. If it has true style, the jaunty informality with which it’s worn emphasizes its smartness. You’ll like the new Fall Stetsons. Correct in trim lines with a bit of a swing, whether worn as in the illustration or with brim snapped down. And the colors are un usually handsome.

Stetson Company % Irving Anderson Holds Research Position at Iowa Oregon Graduate Now Carrying On Optical Experiments To Aid Studying Irving Anderson, who last year was assistant to Dr. Crosiand of the University of Oregon psychol | ogy department, is now research assistant at Iowa State college. While at Oregon he devoted his efforts to the study of left and right eyedness, which has the same relationship that left handedness has to right handedness. His position at Iowa is diagnos ing the reading problems of col lege students and the direction of remedial training. Anderson is also carrying on private research on abnormal visual perception in re gard to the eyes. His particular approach is by studying the effect that the Hebrew language, that is written from right to left, on Eng lish readers. Between terms he will attend the University of Chicago, where the Hebrew element is stronger. This summer he attended the Chi cago meeting of the American Psy cology association of which he is a member. He is a member of Sigma Xi, science honorary. Recently he married Josephine Potts a mem ber of the local chapter of Kappa j Kappa Gamma, and a graduate of i the class of ’33. He is a member ! of Kappa Gamma Delta, social fraternity. GREAT BONE MYSTERY SOLVED BY TWO PROFS (Continued from Pa c/e One) the bones. Records show no reg istration by any person' of that name. Several campus theories have been evolved concerning the crime: 1. That the bones are those of Barney Clark, Emerald columnist, foully slain by the Delts. 2. That the bones are those of the original owner of the ancient vehicle, and have been there since his demise. 3. That some freshman was rushed to death and the flivver finished the job. PLEDGING PROBLEM (Continued from Patje Two) ent system, which means that the first week of school is entirely lost, but I believe it is preferable to the old system of deferred rushing because there is greater friendliness on the part of groups and less tendency to break rules and create suspicion.” Favorable: University of Ne vada—“Deferred pledging would seem to hold advantages both for initiates and their sorority because acquaintanceship should be more naturally developed and become more thorough.” Unfavorable: Oregon State col lege—“Short rushing is the lesser of two evils.” (Note: Oregon State college girls may-be pledged, but they must live for the first year in the dormitory, and pledge lists are not published.) Favorable: Purdue university— “I have always had a leaning to ward deferred pledging because it gives the girls time to think. Grades, too, are sure. Attitude can be determined for cooperation. Unfavorable: Syracuse univer sity—“Theoretically, I believe in deferred pledging, but there are practical objections at Syracuse.” Favorable: Washington State college—“Freshmen girls should have more time to orient them selves before pledging. Groups would make fewer mistakes.” Unfavorable: University of Tul Come and See the STETSON — at — Wade Bros.

Villard has confined his ! activities on the magazine for ! the last six months to those of ; contributing editor.

(Note: This is mucn the same as the stand taken by Mrs. Hazel P. Schwering, dean of women, who had considerable praise for the amount of cooperation given the administration by the organiza tions, particularly through house mothers and house presidents. It is interesting to compare this crit icism of deferred pledging with the praise given in much the same words in the paragraph immedi ately above.) I Favorable: University of Wis consin—“Second semester pledg ing would be preferable if fresh men were left alone to make their adjustments, but I am dubious of it working out that way.” Unfavorable: Washington uni versity—“I do not approve of de ferred pledging, as in too many cases it means a prolonged rush ing season." Favorable: Whitman college— “Deferred pledging. Freshmen have an opportunity to become ad justed.” Unfavorable: University of Washington — “Pre - registration. Does not interfere with studies, less conspicuous, puts girls under sorority discipline at once.” * * * Of the 12 schools making favor able comment, only four have ac tually tried deferred pledging, and all of these had discontinued it at the time of the survey. The reasons given by these four schools for discontinuance are as follows: University of Minnesota—“Tried for one year only. Didn’t have time to work out difficulties.” Northwestern university—“Ma jority vote of sorority women i against sophomore pledging after it had been tried. They claim sorority-consciousness over so long a period is detrimental to study.” University of Nevada—“Girls believed it prolonged the strain.” Whitman college—“Reason un known by present dean.” Reasons given by other schools for discontinuing deferred pledg ing after it had been tried are as follows: DePauw university—“Not suc cessful.” University of Iowa—“Tried a number of years ago, but unsuc cessful.” University of Montana—“Kept students from settling down to se rious work.” University of North Dakota— “Used to have sophomore pledg ing, but there was a constant fer ment during the freshman year, inasmuch as it was impossible to formulate rules which would gov ern every situation. Relation be tween upperclassmen and fresh men strained and unnatural for fear that any friendliness might be misinterpreted as rushing.” University of Tulsa “Dean of1 women has only been there one year, but is urging change, as she believes early . pledging is found preferable on other campuses."

E. De Zfou, head of the mathematics de partment. For the education majors, he said, “there are now a consider able number of education majors ;aking minor norms in mathemat cs, since practice teaching in mathematics will continue to be jiven, and most high school teach :rs require two or three teaching lorms to meet high school needs." Training Complete This means that those majoring n some other education subject han mathematics, but desiring :o teach math also, will find more ban adequate and capable train ng on the campus here. Although :he University offers only a minor lourse in mathematics, this study | s often more complete than the major course given by many other ;olleges, according to DeCou. Members of the pre-medical fac iity have found it necessary to i jive a new two-hour course in mathematics throughout the year rs a needed basis for science, he idded. Course New “This course consists of a thor ough review and extension of high school algebra, some trigonometry, md the simplest ideas of the dif ferential and integral calculus. The two divisions are being taught by Miss Edna Keepers, who took her master's degree in mathematics af ter two years as graduate assist ant,” stated Professor DeCou. At preset and for the past two years Miss Keepers has been read er of mathematics in the corre spondence study department. Last year, under the direction of Pro fessor DeCou, she revised and mod ernized most of the correspondence courses in mathematics. Scanning the Cinemass i__ _ TODAY MCDONALD — "Captured,” Leslie Howard, Douglas Fair banks Jr., Paul Lucas. Also Beauty for Sale,” Madge Evans, Alice Brady, Una Merkel. COLONIAL — “I n ternational House,” Stuart Erwin, Sari Maritza, W. C. Fields, Peggy Hopkins Joyce. Also "Made on Broadway,” Robert Mont gomery, Madge Evans, Sally Eilers. By j. A. NEWTON We Like Evans Well, it seems Mr. Jones of the Mac (you're welcome, Mr. Jones) has been billing the show “Cap tured” ahead of “Beauty for Sale.” It also seems that I liked “Beauty for Sale” better. And I'll tell you why: In the first place, I'm a rabid anti-warrior, in spite of what Ma jor Barker thinks of me, and all the killing and rain and jnud and things are just too much for my delicately strung nature. Who hollered “Geranium"? In the second place, I haven’t gotten over the last batch of war pictures that have been fed us. Now take “Beauty for gale”; Madge Evans is in it, and that’s enough for me any day She’s been in three shows this week, and i I think I'm catching something. | It’s a Faith Baldwin story, and I somehow F. B. makes her hand- j ling of moral situations have an , air of freshness about them. Most , movie problems are very messy and musty indeed. Throughout this picture the situations are han dled deftly and logically—the act ing is fine also even to the new actcr. Name Otto Kruger. Mad House “International House” is a mad house, made mad mostly by the antics of W. C. Fields, one of the oldest and finest comedians in the business. It’s nothing but a com edy and pretends to be no more. Sari Maritza--pronounced “Sha ree”—is very good to look at; and the reasons, both of them, why Peggy Hopkins Joyce caught a few millionaires in her eventful young life are exehibited to full advantage. College Joes should be interested in the “girls in cello phane.” “Made on Broadway” is just a title. It's a typical Lee Tracy story with Robert Montgomery trying to get away with it. Sally Eilers is very good as a ruthless gal who gets the most she can from all the gullible gents and then turning them down, and so forth. Madge Evans again, and what a gal! No part for her— nothing to do. GIRL MINUS COUNTRY SETS UNUSUAL GOAL (Continued from Page One) he's just a passing fancy.” A seemingly impossible ambition, one thinks but, remembering the seemingly impossible that she has ichieved already, who knows? Another thing Miss Horak is in terested in is sociology, especially criminology. She'd like to work n the Hull house in Chicago oh yes, her reporter’s instinct coming ;o the front, she'd love to "inter view the big time murderers the mes who murder on a large scale, lake A1 Capone, you know." “How did you ever learn such perfect English in six years?" she was asked. And she grinned. "Do you know what the first English words I learned were ? Well, first if all. I learned how to swear and I've been getting along pretty well Jver since.” Mrs. Turnipseed To Attend Chicago Pan-Hellenic Meet! National Sorority Delegates Will Gather at Palmer House to Discuss Problems Mrs. Genevieve Turnipseed, di rector of dormitories of the Ore gon state system of higher educa tion, plans to leave Saturday eve ning for Chicago, where she will be a delegate to the national Pan Hellenic congress, which is held every two years. On October 12, 13, and 14, dele gates from all national sororities will meet together at Palmer house to discuss national sorority problems with a view toward the local situation on the individual campuses. There will be a meeting of the national presidents. Mrs. Turnip seed, national president of Phi Omega Pi, will attend this session. Meetings of national editors, na tional inspectors, and national ex ecutive secretaries will be held. While' Mrs. Turnipseed will not address any group, her national secretary, Miss Grace Olson Kist ler, will conduct a round table on new policies of rushing. Mrs. Turnipseed intends to visit Chicago university. Northwestern university. University of Iowa, State College at Ames, the Univer sity of Kansas, and others if possi ble, on the return trip. ---------I A JNew Arrival — One of Fashion’s Newest Models t is of black suede beaded with silver underlay.

You can stand down there in that South ern sunshine and almost see it grow. This ripe, mellow tobacco is skillfully cured by the farmer. Then, for 30 months, it’s aged—just like fine wine. It takes the right quantity of each kind of these tobaccos, blended and cross-blended —then seasoned with Turkish, to make a milder cigarette. Sunshine helps. Just try it!
