VOLUME XXXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1933 NUMBER 43 Guild Players Appear Tonight In Laugh Show ^ mslow, Newman Have Prominent Parts SURPRISES SLATED Piii Beta Trio, Vagabond Orchestra Will Furnish Entertainment Musically at Event By J. A. NEWTON The final dress rehearsals for the Guild Hall Gaieties, of which the first performance goes on to night at 7:30, indicate that a great laugh treat is in store for those who attend. With the possible exception of Althea Peterson, who was ill last night, the casts at to night’s show wiil be intact as named during the past week. Should Miss Peterson not be able to appear tonight, Joyce Busenbark, who had originally been scheduled to play with the Saturday night cast of the Chi nese Extravaganza, will play the role of the heroine, Kwen Lin. Gertrude Winslow Active Gertrude Winslow, one of the most active of the Guild Hall Play ers, appears both as a comedienne and dancer. She has parts in “How Perfectly Absurd” and “Flittermouse.” In both these skits, she is ably assisted by Ethan Newman, another active member of the Guild Hall Players. The surprise performer of the evening, who bids fair to stop the show, is the popular colored boy who shines shoes in a little ten by-ten shop on Eleventh street. He has originated a song and pat ter act which, with more experi ence, might bring him a living. Pie has the rhythm of his race. The well-known and popular Phi Beta Trio is slated to entertain during the intermission and at the end of the show. ' Situation Comical The situation in the farce, “How Perfectly Absurd,” alone sounds the humorous note of the complete show. A girl and man meet on the top rock of a lonely mountain. Both have the intention of com mitting suicide. Neither wants the other to go through with hip in tentions. "Give the Audience a Chance,” a skitf which turns the tables on the actual audience, is another sure-fire laugh getter. Watch the center man in the first row and you’ll have a complete show. He’s the poor chap who is forced to pick up everything from the floor which the lady next to him con stantly drops. Pep, hilarity, gaiety; these are (Continued on Page Two) In ‘Gaieties'1 Gertrude Winslow will be one o the featured players in the “Guih Hall Gaieties" tonight anti tomor row evening. Speaker Tells of Opportunities and Dangers in Field Dr. E. H. Moore of Oregon State Explains Phases in Study Of Sociology “Send your boy to college, and he will soon be educating the pro fessors” is the rewording that Dr, E. H. Moore suggested last night for Emerson's often quuLed state ment, “Send your boy to college, and the boys will educate him.” Speaking before a group of more than 50 students who accept ed the invitation of Alpha Kappa Delta, national sociology honorary, to attend its open meeting in Ger linger hall, Dr. Moore, professor of sociology at Oregon State col lege, said that this restatement is especially true in a new science such as sociology, which has great possibilities for further research and development. Stating that modern interpre tation defies a science, “not as a body of thought, but as a method," the speaker argued that the sci ence of sociology has a right to the respect of the older “disciplines.” His subject being “The Oppor tunities and Dangers of Sociology,” the speaker went into some detail in explaining both of these two phases of his subject. He suggested as dangers in the field the chance of overpopularity of the field and its invasion by “fakers” not qualified to work in such a science, the tendency among its students to become impatient for the accomplishment of its ideals, which must come after long periods of patient work, the ten dency among its students to want to classify everything in the world as either good or bad. In regard (Continued on Page Four) College Student'Intellegence5 Shown in Sociology 'Boners'' By HENRIETTE HORAK —And then there is the story of the red-headed graduate assist ant in sociology in a certain col lege on the west coast, who after many years of reading student versions of a professor’s or other authority's petty beliefs, and in some cases scientific facts, name-, ly exam papers, fell ill of a strange malady, which the best physicians in the country diagnosed as “Per petualitis Laughafobia Atcollege students Dumnitis,” sometimes known as “Thatwhatailsem Inde cranium.” As a w’arning to all future grad uate assistants in sociology and all the other members of the ology family, the doctors of the land, wishing to prevent the spread of the malady, and having in their possession the effects of the dis ease, compiled a record of the causes, and the following is quoted from a volume called ‘‘The Strange Case of Camlly Wabell,” chapter 13, pages 1313 to 3131, lines 131313 to 313131. The chapter is entitled “Answers of Students in Various and Sun dry Examinations and Tests, Lead ing Cause of the Strange Malady.” Folkway: Kissing is a harmful folkway. If you kiss your mother or a sister it is alright, but to kiss anybody else is bad. Our Pre-historic culture: The “Drift" period was that period in which man shared Europe with the other animals. Native reactions: The best and most scientific way to find native reactions and capacities is to study the unborn child. When a child is born it sleeps 20 to 22 hours a day, and eats the remainder; therefore instead of life being a wonderful thing it is a complex combination of unexplain able things, and therefore is bor-> ing to a baby. Explain the various ways by which man escapes annoying situ ations by thwarting native tenden cies: "He shoots his wife." Personal habit conflicts: A per sonal habit conflict is when a per son goes to church he has a habit of crossing his legs. In church cus tom says not to do so, so he doesn't. Mental pattern: One example is a Democrat—when you see a per son walk down the street or even see him in bed, you can not tell whether he is a democrat or a so cialist. Original nature: If I were going to try to discover man’s original nature I would use an uncivilized person for my test because—no one can say that he had acquired any civilized instincts. Paleolithic period: In the Paleo lithic period man shared the world with extinct animals. Weissman’s theory: If the fath er was a moron the children are more likely to be morons, but it , would not hold true if the mother I was a moron. I.Q. means—intelligence quiz. Also "make up": it is determined by the order and sex of forefath ers; Inherited Quality. Biological heredity: The pecu liar inheritance of the other va rious speci of animals. Darwin theory: It is that humai (Continued on Page Two) Twenty Coeds Enter Posture Contest Today Decision Will Be Made At Campus Tea AWARDS TO BE MADE Three Arbiters YViil Act as Judges For Event Slated at 4 p. m.

Assistant Dean of Portland Medical School Is Speaker Dr. II. B. Myers Advises Students To Obtain Wide Knowledge In Elective Fields Dr. Harold B. Myers, assistant dean of the University of Oregon medical school in Portland, spoke to an assembly of pre-medical stu dents on requirements for pre medics, and why it is necessary for a pre-medical student to take social science, language, and • lit erature. Myers said that one should attain as broad an educa tion as possible, and not specialize too much in the sciences, but to follow other interests in ellectives. Dr. Myers, who is the chairman of the admission committee for the medical school, held personal in terviews with those students plan ning to enter next year. Since there are about 350 appli cations for 60 places in the school, only those students best qualified for entrance afe admitted. These personal interviews were indica tive of the characteristics of the prospects, and are a factor in de ciding which ones are best suited to take advantage of the expen sive training necessary to become a doctor. Library Receives Economics Books Thirteen new books were re ceived during the week at the cir culation department in the library. Most of the arrivals are non-fic tion, on the subject of politics or economics. On the United States govern ment there are four new books: “A Handbook of NRA”; “Govern ment of the People,” by D. W. Brogan; “High Low Washington, ’ by 30 32, two authors who are “on the inside"; and “The People’s Choice," by Herbert Agar.

Morse, dean of the University school of law; 14 other men actively identified with the administration of justice in this state; O. L. Price, publisher of the Morning Oregonian; and Benjamin T. Osborne, secretary of the state Federation of Labor.

At the first meeting of the commission, officers were selected, and the chairman appointed sub committees to study criminal pro cedure and civil procedure. The committee for criminal pro cedure includes Wayne L. Morse, Judge James T. Brand, Arthur C. Spencer, and John H. Carson. The committee for civil proced ure includes • Richard W. Mon ta'gue, Judge Hall S. Lusk, Nich olas Jaureguy, and William P. Lord. Lawyers lomes Recjuire Soaping; Who Wants Job? Financial assistance will be giv en some law student during the Christmas holidays, announced Carlton E. Spencer, faculty mem ber in charge of the law school library, yesterday. The leatherTbound books of the library are in need of their pe riodical soaping, and those wish ing to apply for the position of of ficial soaper during the holidays should file statement of their fi nancial need with Karl Huston, acting librarian. The pay will be 35 cents an hour, and, providing the need is equal, scholarship will be the basis of selection. “We give considerable care and attention to the library books,” state Professor Spencer. “The leather-bound bocks are, for the most part, older volumes which would be difficult to replace. Buck ram binding, which is much better than leather, is used on all the recent books.” Infirmary Has Four Masculine invalids apparently prevail on the campus for among those in the infirmary yesterday were Ed Labbe, Wendall Moore, Duncan York, and Jack Kneeland. Law Scholarship Offers Provided In Carnegie Fund Fellowships Given in Two Groups By International Peace Endowment Fellowships in international law are being offered as usual this year by the Division of Interna tional Law of the Carnegie En dowment for International Peace. These fellowships are awarded in two classes: teachers’ fellow ships to applicants who have taught international law' or re lated subjects for at least one year, for a stipend of $1,500; stu dents’ fellowships to graduate stu dents holding the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree, for a stipend of $1,000. The applicants should in dicate the class of fellowship for which applications are made. These fellowships have been established by the trustees of the endowment for the purpose of pro viding teachers competent to give instruction in international law and related subjects. Only those who intend to engage in such work are therefore expected to apply. Huffaker Reveals Waste in System The unnecessary waste in Ore gon’s educational system was re vealed and emphatically criticized by C. L. Huffaker, professor of education Wednesday evening. Speaking before a joint meeting of the men and women’s debate squads on the subject “Education al Problems in Oregon,” Huffaker pointed out three different phases, of the waste in the state’s educa tional system. First, he stressed the financial waste which is the result of the large number of rural schools hav ing only a few pupils; secondly, the financial waste in actual ad ministration which he attributed to such factors as poor balancfe in courses; and thirdly, the waste of time and energy from the point of view of the students. Commerce Honorary Adds Four Members Four University of Oregon wo men were pledged to Phi Chi The ta, women’s national commerce honorary, at noon yesterday in the College Side.

Meier May Choose Successor To Boscoe C. Nelson After Meeting State-wide attention will be di rected on the state board of high er education in Portland this after noon when the group meets at the Benson hotel minus one member, since Governor Julius L. Meier has not named any one to replace Ros coe C. Nelson, resigned board chairman. The main issue to be determined by the board today is whether Dr. W. J. Kerr will remain as chancel lor of higher education in Oregon, return to Corvallis where he was formerly president of Oregon State college, or give way to an educator from outside the state. Chancellor Kerr held an hour long conference with Governor Meier at the capitol Wednesday on matters believed to have an impor tant bearing on the education troubles in Oregon. Both Kerr and Meier declined to make any state ment following the conference, and both denied that Dr. Kerr had re signed as chancellor. Governor Meier is said to have conferred with several legislators since the special session opened Monday on matters concerning higher education in Oregon. Marks to Preside Presiding at the board meeting today will be Willard L. Marks of Albany, vice-president of the board. Chancellor Kerr will also be pres ent. Governor Meier is expected to name the successor to Roscoe Nelson following the board meet ing in Portland today. In a statement to the press Wed nesday, Kerr said that he expect ed to return to Eugene Thursday, November 30. Dance Scheduled By Independents In Gerlinger Hall No-Date Event to Be Held Tonight; Affair Given by Yeomen and Women’s Organization Featuring the Thanksgiving hol iday idea, an all-campus independ ent dance will be held tonight in Gerlinger hall, from 9 to 12 o’clock.

The committee in charge is headed by Laura Goldsmith and Frank Evenson, general chairmen; others are Verne Adams, Mega Means, Janet Hughes, Margery Thayer, George Teltoft, Violet Adams, and Reinhart Knudsen. Debate Squads to Hear Speech by Dr. Morris Dr. Virgil P. Morris, professor of economics at the University and chairman of Governor Meier’s com mittee for the study of Oregon’s educational problems, will address the members of the men and the women’s debate squads Monday evening at 7:30 in room 13 of Friendly hall. Dr. Morris’ speech will deal with the state’s education problems. Monday night’s address will be the second address that the debat ers will have heard on this sub ject, of which they are making a study in preparation for the first part of next term’s symposium de bate schedule. Copies of Resolutions In Reference Library Texts of resolutions and bills brought up in the senate and house at Washington are being received at the University library. The first group of bills was re ceived yesterday, and contains the text of the liquor control bill, which is expected to be of partic ular interest to students. Trojans Eliminated From Participation In Rose Bowl Game Oregon Will Be Selected for Pasadena Classic if California Beals Stanford Tomorrow The Pasadena Post will say today that Southern California has been definitely eliminated as a prospect for the invitation to represent the West in the annual Tournament of Roses football game at Pasa dena New Year’s day. This information was learned by the Emerald late last night from the Eugene Morning News in a special dispatch from Pasadena. The Trojans, regardless of the showing of other coast conference elevens during the remainder of the season, will have no chance. The report indicated that Stanford will be selected if the Indians are successful in dumping the California Golden Bears in their “big •i Reporting Class To Inspect CCC Fall Creek Camp Journalists to Compete for Honor Of Writing Best Story On 3-C Project The members of George S. Turn bull’s reporting class will learn about C.C.C. camps today when they board army truck at the journalism shack and ride out to Fall Creek for tea. The embryo reporters will be on a serious mission, however, for they will be competing for the honor of writing the best news story on the 3-C project, and the winning story will be published in local newspapers as well as in the Army and Navy Journal and Happy Days, national civilian con servation corps publication. In ad dition, the Heilig and Colonial theaters are offering tickets as prizes. Professor Turnbull arranged the expedition through the Eugene district headquarters, and Lieut Roy Craft will accompany the con voy to the camp. Lieut. Mauritz M. Nelson, commander of the Fall Creek company, will be host to the party and has placed Lieut. James Combs in charge of the tea, which will consist of chocolate and cake. The party will look over the rec reation hall, mess hall, kitchen, barracks, and various other units of the camp and will write their stories on whatever phase of the president’s program appeals to them. More than 300,000 men are enrolled in the C.C.C. project in the United States and all are being housed this winter in model camps similar to that at Fall Creek. It is planned to have the party back on the campus by 6 o'clock. Oregon Book Display Featured in Library Displayed on the third floor of the library is a collection of books published by the Metropolitan press of Portland. This press publishes books by Oregon authors almost exclusively, those not written by Oregonians pertaining to Oregon in some way. In the case the book “Marooned in Crater Lake,’’ by Alfred Pow ers, dean of the extension division, is shown. “Native Moments,” a book of poetry by Ernest G. Moll, assist ant professor of English, is also among those published by the Met ropolitan press. game" at Palo Alto tomorrow. In case the Bears win, the paper adds, the University of Oregon will be given the invitation. Oregon May Play “If Oregon plays,’’ concluded the story, “it will be a shock to many because of the Webfoots’ 2G-to-0 defeat at the hands ol U. S. C., but it is a matter of looking into the future, ana it also proves that the committee has no desire to commercialize the game, as it demonstrated by inviting W. S. C. in 1931." There will be little room for choice if Stanford should win the California game. The Indians have ft record equal to any eleven on the coast this year, despite their early season 6-to-0 defeat by Washington. California Victory Needed It is a California victory in the crucial “big game” tomorrow that would place the Lemon-Yellow banner at the top in the far west. The Golden Bears have had an off and-on season, and with two de feats and two ties on their record to date would stand no chance of being chosen over the Ducks. U. C. L. A., beaten by Oregon 7 to 0, held Ingram’s eleven to a score less tie. Santa Clara, in the sea son’s opener, humbled the Bears, 7 to 0, and since that time the Trojans have tacked a 6-to-3 los3 on the Berkeley outfit. Washing ton State was responsible for the other tie score on the California record by holding the Bears to a 6-to-6 score at Pullman in Oc tober. A California win Saturday would assure the Webfoots of the Pasa dena game, with the elimination of Southern California from con sideration. Unforeseen events may change thi3 picture, but the pres ent situation will probably remain as is. The Trojans, however, are out, and the selection committee is -definitely looking elsewhere. Booklets on Problems Of Students Off Press Two University of Oregon book lets have reeeuLly come off the University press. They are “Stud ies to Determine the Relative Achievement of Students at Dif ferent Potentiality Levels” by R. W.. Leighton, executive secretary of research, and “Studies of Stu dent Mortality at the University of Oregon,” by Earl M. Pallett, registrar and executive secretary of the University of Oregon. Both publications contain infor mation pertaining to student prob lems, and are of interest to stu dents as well a3 instructors. Pretty Pants Paraded Before Crowd by Pigskin-Pushers By HOWARD KESSLER Thirty gorgeous green potato bugs swarmed over the football practice field behind the Igloo yes terday afternoon, clad in what the well-dressed man will wear on the gridiron this season. A crowd of interested onlookers followed the squad from one end of the field to the other, admiring the glossy sheen which emanated from the sturdy legs of the play ers, who, be it said to their honor, did not once show self-conscious ness during the procedure. Equipped with lacy collars and flowing wigs, the pigskin-pushers might easily have been mistaken for distinguished courtiers of eighteenth-century society, but no courtiers ever hit the line the way the boys did yesterday. The ‘‘pretty pants" which were ordered in California and worn for the first time against the Trojans last Saturday, made their Oregon premiere yesterday, and spectators who like their players dressed in the height of fashion were out en masse to get their first and last glimpse of the gorgeous attire this season. No collection was taken. The team will endeavor to daz zle St. Mary’s Gaels when it plays the Moragans in San Francisco on Thanksgiving day, and the extent of the psychological reaction can only be estimated. St. Mary’s has reverted to drab canvas outfits, and the spectacle of the satiny Oregon pants taking the field against them may well have a dis astrous effect on their morale. However, Prink Callison plans to rely more on football than new uniforms. Pants are such fragile things.
