Student Music Classes Show Improvement Progress Believed to Be Remarkable Much Enthusiasm and Sincerity Of Effort Are Found Among Students in Class In spite of various interruptions, the Carnegie classes are getting significant results. These classes are conducted for groups of ten to fourteen students. There are classes of violin, piano, voice, or gan and cello. The financial back ing was presented by the Carne gie Institute last summer. Dean John J. Landsbury believes the progress of these classes noth ing less than remarkable and su perior to that of the ordinary indi vidual student. Differing from the usual pro cedure, the course of study under taken in the Carnegie classes con siders the root of the difficulty. The difference between the physi cal and musical technique in piano playing is explained, while neces sity of a definite basis from which to begin is emphasized. “It’s always been a pet hobby of mine,” Dean Landsbury said in ex planation of this new method of teaching. “Of course, it embodies years of thought and study of pi ano playing.” From the beginning, the stu dents have a definite goal, the methods of reaching it are ex plained verbally, and they begin working toward it systematically. Thus they learn to think ahead of their playing. Among the students of his class, consisting of seven men and three women, Dean Landsbury finds a great deal of enthusiasm and sin cerity of effort. Through their persistent work and the use of this new method of study they learn to play pieces as well as ex ercises extremely advanced for the period of time they have studied. Within two weeks, many of them were playing fairly difficult com positions. Of course, as Dean Landsbury explained, this rational method appealing to the reasoning powers of the individual would not be suitable in training more imma ture pupils. PREJUDICE NO LONGER EXISTENT AT OXFORD (Continued, from Page One) the best seats. Oregon men will be seated in the east stands and will enter at the large gate on the east side of the field.

Maria, the nine-year j old daughter of Juan B. Rael, Ro | mance language instructor on the campus and professor of first year class, won the audience complete ly as she sang “Me Gustan Todas’’ ! and “En el Rancho Grande” in a delicately pleasing voice, accom panying the selections with ap propriate gestures. To become a famous danseuse and singer is the ambition of Ma ria, who is at present attending Condon school, preparing for the time when she will become an en rolled university student instead of a guest singer. Bequest of Books Given Professor A bequest of 35 books has just been received by Professor Leavitt O. Wright of the Romance lan guage department, from the late John L. Phillips of Claremont., California. Wright was instrumental in in teresting Phillips in donating his library to the nearby Claremont colleges instead of leaving it to his heirs to be sold, and in appre ciation Phillips selected those vol umes which he thought might be of most interest to Professor Wright. Included among the books are a number of masterpieces of the 19th century Spanish novel; a rare copy of the Spanish grammar of the Royal Academy; Renan’s Life of Jesus in Spanish; George Bor row, The Bible in Spain; Motley’s two volume Rise of the Dutch Re public; Burn’s poetical works; Fer nald’s English Antonyms and Prep ositions; Victor Hugo’s Quatre vingt-Treize; and Gaffarel's Les Compagnes de la Premiere Repub lique. Smith Talks on Peace To Graduate Students Dr. Warren D. Smith, head of the geology and geography de partments, held a discussion last night at the Y hut for a group of graduate students. The topic, “How to Have Peace,” was given in the form of a lecture, after which questions were asked and a general discussion held. Mrs. Richa 'd Horn, nee Dorothy Tepee, is the chairman of the group \vhich is under the direction of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. Graduates Employed By Haskins and Sells Raymond W. Field, ’33, and Wil liam K. Moore, '31, graduates in business administration have been employed by the Portland office of Haskins & Sells, certified pub lic accountants, with head offices in New York. Field was one of the five Oregon graduates who passed the state C.P.A. examination last May. DEAN MORSE TO SPEAK AT RALLY ASSEMBLY (Continued from Pcujc One) liams and Don’ Stuurman, Oregon’s last three candidates, are now studying at Oxford. According to S. Stephenson Smith, associate professor of Eng lish, Jackson and Williams in their appearance before the judging committee for Rhodes scholars, “showed power of mathematical thinking and command of known methods of mathematics such as, in my opinion, will only be found twice in 100,000 students. They also showed a good deal of wit in stating their views on applications of mathematics in the realm of aesthetic and social sciences.” The outward mannerism of Ox ford is one of higher frivolousness and indifferent attitude, which runs to a defense mechanism, says Stephenson Smith. A necessary credential fer a successful Rhodes scholar is a sporting attitude to ward life and an ability for witty expression.

Honorary to Have Alumna Guest Dinner Pi Lambda Theta Tries Education Problems ; I Permanent Foundation System Of Taxation and Finance To Be Considered Pi Lambda Theta, women's hon orary in education, is working to have every alumna present at the Founder's Day banquet on Novem ber 18. Plans are being laid by the “Conservation of Education in Oregon” committee to present in formation at this banquet so that every member will have knowledge at her tongue's tip with which to dispell the existing ignorance con cerning education problems. Mrs. Wendell Van Loan, chair man of the “Conservation of Edu cation in Oregon” committee, said Thursday regarding the local chap ter’s study plans, “We intend to study what effects the depression has had upon the schools and what retrenchments will be necessary. She also explained that Pi Lambda Theta will try to find what might be possible in the way of a good sound permanent foun dation of the educational system in Oregon, including taxation and financing in schools. Other members of this commit tee are Helen Everett, of the Uni versity of Oregon library; Ruth Melenay, senior in English; and Maxine Lamb, dean of girls at Eu gene high. Pi Lambda Theta has 348 mem bers throughout the state besides the active chapter here and the conservation committee wishes every member to have complete information regarding the school system of the state. More University Grads Get Work Cards filed at the alumni office during Homecoming weekend show that still more recent University graduates have found employment. Work in the educational field seems to afford the greatest num ber of positions. Embert Fossum, who was grad uated from the school of journal ism last June, is employed as a re porter on the Klamath Basin Pro gress, a weekly paper published at Klamath Falls, Oregon. Mildred Collins, who received her B. A. degree from the Univer sity last January, is teaching in the junior high school at Silverton, Oregon. Dorothy Clifford, graduate in the class of ’33, has a position as li brarian at St. Helens Hall Junior college in Portland. Otto M. Bowman, University graduate in 1929 and graduate of the Oregon law school last June, is practicing law with E. L. Craw ford, a former University student, in Salem. German Disarmament Views Given in Article Germany’s view of the disarma ment question is presented in a weekly publication of the German League of Nations Union, "Volker bund,” which is available in the league of nations publications de partment at the library. Recent issues contain articles by German leaders on such topics as "National-Socialist Germany and Her Contributions Towards World Peace," “Who Needs Security,’’ "The Main Lines of German For eign Policy,” "Present Position and Prospects of the Disarmament Conference,” and "Germany's Aim at the Disarmament Conference.” Publication of the periodical was begun in 3 932, and the library has received it since then. The edition received is in English. Members of Library Staff Will Attend Game A number of members of the li brary staff are planning to attend the game in Portland this Satur day. Since the reserve departments are to be closed all day, they will find it easy to get away. “We don't expect to need many people to run the library this week end," said M. H. Douglass, librar ian, yesterday. riOMC OWN€i> • €UC€N€f OvVN | O L O N 1 A I H '* f.r ALPC »*. IbT A PICTURE THAT WILL STARTLE AND AMAZE YOU with its daring theme yet one that you should not fail to see! .Mats 2-1—Nights 7-9 CLOSES SATURDAY Positively only showing in Eugene! Scanning the Cinemas MCDONALD — "Berkeley Square," Leslie Howard, Heather Angel. Also "Gold en Harvest,” Richard Arlen, Chester Morris, Genevieve Tobin. COLONIAL — "The Seventh Commandment.” The shows which we eonsid der best are discussed at the top of the column. If you agree with us, save time by reading the top review, and if you disagree, save time by reading the bottom review. When they’re all not so hot, we leave the headings off. By J. A. NEWTON Here’s Another Must A couple of years ago, a show called “Viennese Nights” was her alded by the writer as the finest picture he had ever seen. The Mac’s show, “Berkeley Square’’ is a very close second to that produc tion, This statement covers a pe riod of five years, during lyhich I have viewed an average of two shows a week. The impression made by both of these plays is very similar. They stir one of the tenderest of human emotions,—compassion. In “Berkeley Square” the spec tator must not consider the plausi bility of the situation. The breaks in mannerism and speech which the twentieth century man makes in the eighteenth century pass as mere incidents beside a love which surpasses 200 years of time. Yet this timeless union of two hearts must be torn assunder when the man returns to the twentieth cen tury to face the reality of his beautiful young love of the eigh teenth century being dead over 200 years. The only material con nections between the two are gravestones in' a churchyard and an iron cross, the Egyptian sym bol of eternal life. You owe it to yourself not to miss this show. Only one sugges tion if you see it at the Mac. Ar range to see “Golden Harvest” first, in order that the effect of “Berkeley Square” not be lost in the comparative lightness of the former. “Golden Harvest” would be a good show in its own right. In fact, it’s rather better than the average show, yet it was lost to me on the same bill with “Berke ley Square.” It's built on the Heather Angel, appearing in j "Berkeley Square” at the !VIae. i striking farmer situation. I don't | like first-run double bills. "The Seventh Commandment" is to the average motion picture production of today what my writ ing- is to readable English. It's technically and dramatically very poorly done, with the exception of a character actor who does a bit as a philosophic hobo. On the other hand, it has a rath er important message to deliver. There are a few “hot" and sexy scenes,_ a lot of punk acting, a beautiful girl, and some important medical hints. There is a good group of short subjects. The main show isn't very long. Big; Magic. Show According; to comments of Eu gene people who have seen this Virgil, “master magician and world’s permier illusionist,” who comes to the armory tonight at 8:15, it’s a show worth staying over for Saturday morning’s rally train to see. Virgil’s an expert young man with a bag full of tricks from Houdini and other friends and some spectacular ones of his own. That “Famous Hindu Rope Mystery,” for example, is one of those things “that just isn’t done.” The very best magicians told Virgil he couldn’t do il be cause they couldn’t, but he went ahead and did it anyway. This is at the bottom of the col umn because it’s not a movie, not because it’s a poor show. Far from it— there hasn’t been any thing like it in Eugene since the University of Oregon was Deady hall. Graduates Prominent In Advertising Fields Professor W. F. G. Thacher of the University journalism depart ment has recently received news of several prominent advertising graduates. A letter from C. W. Reed stated that he is now in charge of sales promotion and ad vertising of the Poultry Producers of Central California.
