Library Aide Returns From Chicago Meet Association Conference Attended Ella Carrick of Cataloging Desk Describes Conclave in East; 3000 at Sessions Although she had just arrived in Eugene that morning from a trip to Chicago, where she attended the conference of the American Li brary association, Miss Ella Car rick was back on duty at her desk in the cataloging department in the library yesterday afternoon. Miss Carrick was away for about two and a half weeks, having left; Eugene on October 13. She at-; tended the conference for her own j pleasure, not as a delegate from the University library. In her opinion the highlight of the conference was the presenta tion of the Newbery medal from 1933 to Elizabeth Foreman Lewis, for her book “Young Fu.” The medal is awarded annually by the children’s librarians section of the A. L. A. for the best children's book published that year. Author Speaks Mrs. Lewis, the author of the book, spoke informally at the con ference and autographed copies of her book for the delegates. A number of foreign delegates were at the conference, Miss Car rick said. Among them was Mon signor Eugen Tissarant, of the Vatican library in Rome. He ad dressed the conference in English. A librarian from the British mu seum in London was also present. The conference was attended by 3000 delegates and was held in the Stevens hotel. General headquar ters was located in an exhibition hall filled with exhibits of books on various subjects, library furni ture, and many other items of in terest to librarians. Conference Sectioned Sessions of the conference were divided into general ones and spe cial ones of interest to people in the various types of library work. “I attended a little of every thing in the way of special ses sions,” said Miss Carrick. “I was particularly interested in the cata loging and public documents ses sions, as my work here has to do with those two subjects. I also attended the children's session to see the presentation of the New bery medal.” Virgil Will Show Magic in Eugene On November 10 Mystery and magic lurk in the darkness of Hallowe’en night, but even more baffling mystery and more thrilling magic are promised University students and Eugene folk on November 10, when Virgil, master magician and illusionist, appears at the armory. Virgil was a student in the drama department of the University from 1921 to 1924, when a “spot ter” for a vaudeville company lured him from the campus with a fat contract. He had been inter ested in magic since was eight years old, and he had made his first professional appearance at the age of IS, when still a student at Eugene high school. Since he left the University, Vir gil has trouped in nearly every state in the union. For about five years he has been a co-partner with W. B. McDonald (of the Co lonial theater McDonald-Godfrev combination) in the talkie thea ter business. This year he had a huge semi trailer specially built to carry a party of seven and the ten tons of apparatus used in his two hour program. His new venture with "the second largest magic show in the United States” opened auspiciously October 15, playing to full houses in Port Townsend, Washington, with “standing room only” signs out the fourth night.

But now, no need to flunk an exam or miss a party. When you are below par, take Kalms, quick-acting tablets developed by Johnson & Johnson especially to relieve “re curring” pains, such as headache, backache and neuralgia. One tablet is enough for most cases. Kalms are safe, do not affect digestion or heart action, and are not habit-forming. Your drug gist has them in purse-size boxes of 12 tablets.

Plaster Likeness of Prehistoric Skull Bests King Kong Adam was as modern as Buck Rogers, compared to dear old “Pithecanthropus Erectus,” a mere boy of 500,000 years of age “Pithe's” skull, or rather, a plaster model of it, is reposing in some excelsior at Condon hall, along with plaster models of a go rilla’s skull—an out-of-date King . Kong,—an orang-outang, a gibbon, and a chimpanzee. “Pithe's” skull bears a marked resemblance to that of the gorilla about the frontal bones above the eyes. “Pithe” was much higher at the back of the head, however, and probably had it over King Kong's grand-daddy by a long way. Although the scientists are still arguing about how old Mr. Erec tus is, they are rather well agreed that he was a man, that he was the oldest one known, and that he had his day at least 500,000 years ago. They may be off a few hun dred years, but what’s that to Pithecanthropus Erectus ? He probably wouldn’t feel at home now, anyway. The box of models is an inter departmental loan from the an thropology department of Oregon State college. The two schools frequently exchange material when one or the other needs it for the instruction of classes. Thursday to End Sale of Mums for U. O.-Utah Game Money and Blanks Will Be Turned In to Committee Chairman On November 2 Only three days in which to buy ’mums remain. On Thursday, No vember 2, the sales close, and all money and remaining blanks must! be turned in to Marie Saccomanno' at the Kappa Delta house. For selling' ’mums the house represent ative receives a free ’mum. Since all ’mums are uniform in appearance and price, 75 cents, the confusion of last year in making out the blanks can be avoided. Besides being ornamental, the ’mums are an outward sign of school loyalty. Heading the committee for the sale of ’mums is Marie Sacco manno, chairman, with Janet Mc Micken, sales manager, and Betty Ohlemiller, publicity, assisting. ’Mums will also be sold for the Oregon-Oregon State game in Portland, and will be waiting for students at Tommy Luke’s until 1:30 Saturday, November 11. The money and -blanks for the ’mums to be worn at the Portland game must be in by November 9, while the sales close Wednesday, November 8. Posters, advertising the ’mums, have been distributed in all houses on the campus, as well as in the College Side, Taylor's, and various other places where the students gather. This week, accompanied by members of the speakers’ commit tee and the Phi Mu trio, consist ing of Lucy Ann Wendell, Mary Margaret Lott, Margaret Ellen Os borne, accompanied by Maxine ] McDonald, will visit the various living organizations, singing the ’mum song, while the speakers will urge students to purchase the Oregon flowers.

Educational Plan Studied By Honorary State Officials to Work| With Phi Delta Kappa Efficient Business Administration and Reorganization of Schools Needed Phi Delta Kappa, men s honor ary in education, has for its main project this year the formation of a workable plan to correct the: present educational crisis in the j state. They will work in coopera- j tion with the state department, Phi j Delta Kappa members and offi- ; cials throughout the state, and the school of education at the Univer sity and the state college. The committee for the formula tion of the plan is: Dr. C. L. Huf faker, of the school of education, chairman; Leo Leslie of Univer sity high, treasurer; Joseph A. Holaday, of University high, sec retary; Wendell L. Van Loan, of Roosevelt high; Dr. Victor P. Mor ris; Rex Putnam, superintendent of schools at Albany; and C. A. Howard, state superintendent of schools. Conditions Critical An example of the situations re sulting from the crisis is the case of a teacher who was working in a lumber camp in Klamath county.: He secured a school in easternj Oregon. He was unable to use his, first warrant for either food or ] fuel. His wages as a day laborer were better than those as a teach sr so he loaded his family in a lum ber truck and returned to Klam ath county. The school board of the eastern Oregon district is now attempting to have his license re voked. A Phi Beta Kappa from this campus found that warrants he re ceived in exchange for his services at an eastern Oregon school were worthless. He wrote to a friend, “I am trying to save enough mon sy to buy the gasoline to return.” Some districts are paying $40 a month wages in warrants and the warrants are positively un cashable. Reorganization Needed Dr. Huffaker says that with ef fective reorganization of schools and an efficient business adminis tration that the elementary and secondary schools of the state could be operated for $9,000,000 annually. At present, although no definite figures are available, the estimated cost of elementary and secondary education, which cost would include debt services, would be $18,000,000 annually, with the possibility of a much higher fig- j ure. Dr. Huffaker and his assistants ! hav.e done a great deal of work on ■ the problem and formulating a workable plan. FORMER ‘SCHOOL BOY’ OF POWERFUL FAMILY (Continued from Page One) organization consists of the lead ers of Japan, who are subscribing to a life membership at a cost of $3 gold. As a result of Otsuka’s influence, the government has ap propriated 80,000 yen to build an international house for occidental students who want to go to Japan to study. While on the campus Otsuka took a keen interest in the work of the International Relations club and in the Murray Warner collection of oriental art, regarded as the finest in the West. He al so delighted in informally enter taining friends, often donning an apron and cooking, with genuine skill, a tasty all-Japanese dinner. Many friends on the campus still hear from him and are watching his work. “Patronize Emerald advertisers." IMHran?OS®ElM3Inl[r3It'JIFIlr4&i4 'fajuttb- £a**te£
