By Prominent Critics
Two Water Colors Win Places
In Annual Exhibition
At Los Angeles
Miss Maude I. Kerns, assistant

Two water color paintings, “The
Hills,” a portrait study, and “Boot
legger Alley, Chicago,” won places
in the 13 annual exhibitions of the
California Society of Water Col

Seattle Art Institute recently, Miss
Kerns’ water color, "Convolu
tions,” in abstract color, won con
siderable attention.
A print shown in the spring of
1933 at the Woodcut Society, Kan
sas City, is now included in a
group of 100 on exhibition in the
Brooklyn museum, in the Leonard
Clayton Galleries of New York, in'

recently, and was included in the
exhibit of the Pennsylvania Acad
emy of Fine Arts.
Miss Kerns, who has been on the
faculty here for several years, has
spent a part of her time traveling
and painting in the Orient as well
as in California, Oregon, and other
parts of this country. Her work
has been highly praised by promi

have been highly successful in art
and in teaching.

Express Concern
Over Old Oregon
Pomona College Faculty Members
Visited by Vacationing
Eugene Professor
The predicament in which the j
University of Oregon now finds j
itself is being watched with inter- j
est by California educators, ac
cording to Dr. L. O. Wright, pro- j
fessor of romance languages, who j
returned last week from a vaca
tion which took him to Southern
California.
During his trip, Dr. Wright
talked with many people in Cali
fornia who expressed the hope
that the high ideals and standards 1
which have prevailed at Oregon
for so many years will survive
the present period of jeopardy.
Among former Oregonians vis
ited by the professor during the
holidays, all of whom expressed
concern for the University’s fu
ture, was Mrs. Edna Prescott
Davis, once in charge of dining
halls here and now occupying a
like post at Pomona college in
Claremont, California. Mrs. Edith
Prescott Booth, her sister, who is
connected in an executive capacity
with Pomona’s dormitory system,
keeps in touch with local affairs
through her son, Robert Booth,
employed in Eugene.
Dr. Peter Spencer, Oregon alum
nus, is professor of education in
Pomona’s graduate school. Dr.
Louella Clay Carson, long-time
Oregon dean of women, lives in
retirement in Claremont. Both
questioned Dr. Wright anxiously
for details of the latest Oregon
education developments.
U. O. Librarians Take
Part in OSTA Program
At the annual convention of the
Oregon State Teachers’ associa
tion in Portland on December 29,
Miss E. Lenore Casford, periodical
librarian at the University, was in
charge of the program for the sec
tion on school libraries.
M. H. Douglass, University li
brarian, presented to this group a
report on the United States survey
on secondary school libraries.
Attendance at this particular
section exceeded expectations, ac
cording to Miss Casford, and on
the whole the meeting proved of
definite value to teacher-librarians.
Library Does Good Business
Instead of only the second week
of the term, this might well be the
week before exams, to judge by the
large number of industrious stu
dents seen in the library lately.
Attendants in the reserve depart
ments say that the rushing busir
ness of the last few days is quite
unnsual for this time of year.

Dean Onthank
Gives Speech
At Conference
Outstanding Experts to
Attend Meeting
Emphasis Placed on Great Need
For Reorganization of
Society
Karl W. Onthank, dean of per
sonnel, has just returned from
Berkeley, California, where he at
tended the National Occupational
conference, December 29 to Jan
uary 4.
Onthank was one of 150 out
standing experts in vocational
guidance and placement invited to
attend the meetings, and while
there addressed the session on or
ganization of university personnel
work.
“It was emphasized at the con
ference that educators, industrial
leaders, social workers and think
ing people of today must face the
fact that the organization of so
ciety in the future must be re
vamped entirely to meet new con
ditions,” reported Onthank.
“Until recently the world faced
a struggle in gaining enough
produce on which to exist. Today
we are not only faced with plenty
of food and manufactured articles,
but with a great oversupply. In
the meantime the machinery of
distribution has not kept pace.
Millions are actually starving,
while wheat, corn and meat prod
ucts are being destroyed in order
to curtail excess production. Mil
lions are cold and lack clothing,
while cotton is destroyed in the
South, and production of wool is
curtailed.” These and other facts
were pointed out at the session,
Mr. Onthank reports.
To meet this situation the whole
field of occupations and labor
must be overhauled, it was point
ed out. Hours of labor must be
shortened, yet the worker must
be provided not only with enough
to eat and wear, but with enough
so that he can enjoy both necessi
ties and luxuries of life. Stand
ards of living must be raised, and
living conditions must be im
proved, those present declared.
The work along these lines of
the present administration is be
ing watched with great interest
by students of present day con
ditions, Mr. Onthank says. The
Civil Works Administration, the
Civilians’ Conservation Corps, and
other movements are part of gov
ernment “planning” that it is be
lieved must come before the pres
ent problems will be solved.
Vocational guidance and place
ment for students is held to be
of more importance now than
ever before. Formerly trained
men and women were in demand,
and could always find, employment
in some line. Today, however, it
is of utmost importance to find
out first, what the student wants
and likes to do, and then find a
place for him in which he can pur
sue his interests. The proper use
of leisure time is also important,
it was pointed out, and a great
interest in cultural pursuits and
avocations is anticipated and must
be developed if the new social or
der is to succeed.
The Berkeley meeting, which
was held under the auspices of
the Carnegie corporation, was at
tended by experts from all over
the West. It was regarded as one
of the most important sessions of
the year, and the forerunner of a
great deal of activity along the
lines taken up.
J. Clare Dies in
Blast January 4
John Clare, of Glendale, a junior
in architecture, was killed in a
dynamite blast Thursday, January
4, while working as a forest em
ployee in a CCC camp on Smith
river in southern Oregon.
Clare and a companion were en
gaged in setting off two charges
of dynamite, and only one ex
ploded. They returned to re-light
the other, and as they were reach
ing for the charge it exploded
killing Clare.

Riehl Completes
Master’s Thesis
Arthur Riehl, of the art depart- \

ter’s thesis project, which displays
an ideal parking and motor sales
in a large city. This work is a
very satisfactory solution to the
extremely complex problem of
parking in the crowded city dis
tricts in addition to being an ad
mirable piece of craftsmanship of
quite some merit.
Riehl drew his plans from an
actual site in a large city, and has
included in his model the neces
sary conveniences, ideal spaces for
the various departments and ac
tivities, which would be found in
a complete plant.
The model has spacious display
floors, with full view from the
exterior, on which miniature auto
mobiles have been placed for dis
play. He has also included a short
period parking and car storage.

COLONIAL — "Golden Goal,”

By J. A. NEWTON
Singer Makes Good
The dialogue and singing are in
German in “Golden Goal,” but are
suplemented by subtitles which are
flashed on the screen without any
change in the scene.
The story is quite threadbare. A
traveling party, consisting of a
fat artist’s promoter, his wife, and
a beautiful girl whom he has made
a success on the operatic stage, is
stranded in a rustic mountain inn.
They hear the fine voice of the un
taught musician and persuade him
to go with them to become a great
opera singer.
The girl in the party takes a
great liking to the singer, and pre
vents him from meeting the girl
from back home when she makes
the trip especially to see him. He
learns of these machinations on the
part of the girl just in time to get
home to his former sweetheart's
wedding.
Potentially this is an intense
dramatic situation, but unfortu
nately Tauber, who was the pro
ducer as well as the star, is a
singer, not an actor.
On Imbeciles
Well,customers, I know nothing
about "Duck Soup" except that
Photoplay places it among the
eight best shows of the month.
However, we've all seen the
Marx brothers before and know
just about what to expect. I, for
one, get a big wallop out of them.
They move all the time. They’re
like machine-gun fire.
Harpo is my favorite, although
Groucho gets the most footage. If
for no other reason, I should al
ways attend a Marx brothers show
just to hear Harpo play his harp.
Aside from his idiotic, ,red-wigged
characterization he is an extreme
ly talented musician. He is as
great a harpist as Richard Tau
ber is a. singer.
Speed; action; wisecracks. These
are the forte of the Marx brothers,
and they are specialists in those
fields.
Sergeant Deeds
Reports Losses
Of ROTC Supplies
“Nobody ever tells me that he
lost anything! They just say that
they didn’t get it,” declared Sup
ply Sergeant Frank Deeds at the
ROTC barracks yesterday, when
asked for a report of losses ensued
last term.
However, five neckties, nine
caps, and two belts have been re
issued to various military students
during the fall season. The cost
for these articles has been deducted
from the $5 deposit fee paid by
each student at the time of regis
tration. Neckties cost 15 cents;
caps, 65 cents, and belts, 75 cents.
Last year 23 caps and 55 belLs
were lost. According to Sergeant
Deeds, the reason for the exces
sive loss in belts was because the
refund price was less than the cost
of similar belts in downtown stores.
Two complete uniforms were also
lost during the year.
“Every year during the time I
have been here," remarked Ser
geant Deeds, “a rifle has been lost,
and each year it has been recov
ered.’’

be the order for the winter. For
the most part, these are to be
written by University talent and
acted by campus stars.
“The usual sport, society and
general news talks by members
of the Emerald staff will be con

happens to be near the radio at
4:30 on every day of the week
except Sunday to dial KORE and
give us his support,” stated Callas.
This is the fourth year that the
Emerald - of - the - Air has been
broadcast over the local station.
The programs originated as a con
test between the various houses
on the campus, sponsored by
KORE and the Emerald, and such
was the popularity of the compe
tition that the Emerald-of-the-Air
was originated.
