Ir ma Bennett of Cottage Grove will do the vocalizing, while Jack Ham mond is slated for a novelty tap dance. Idea of Premiere A premiere idea is being carried out for the dance under the su pervision of Chuck Burrow and Ed Schweiker, whose duties will con sist of attempts to get some of! the dancers to mutter a few syl lables into the mouth of a chro mium-plated microphone. Members of the honorary parad ed the campus last night at dinner time dressed in white sheets to carry out the idea of K.K.K. They disrupted the digestive systems of several hundred coeds by making unwelcome entrances while the fe male element of the campus was engaged in gastronomic enterprise. Patrons Named Patrons and patronesses for the Krazy Kopy Krawl include Mr. and Mrs. W. F. G. Thacher, Mr. and Mrs. Karl Thunemann, Mr. and Mrs. John M. Rae, and Dr. and Mrs. Gilson Ross.

Bureau Meeting Slated Dean J. R. Jewell, Dr. N. L. Bossing, both of the school of ed ucation, and Miss Ida M. Pope, appointment secretary, will at tend a meeting of representatives of appointment bureaus of insti tutions of higher learning in the state today at 2:30 at Reed col lege. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss policies of the bu reaus. Automobile Licenses Must Be Registered By 5 p. m. on Monday All students who have new automobile licenses must regis ter them at the automobile of fice in Friendly hall before 5 o’clock Monday, according to regulation 3 of the student au tomobile code. Students who fail to register change of licenses before the deadline will be subject to the same penalties as those without student permits. Reports from" the automobile office indicate that although a large proportion of students have registered their new li cense numbers, many of those who were given permits last fall have not yet reported. Dr. Goldenweiser To Speak Sunday At 7:30 in Villard “Our Economic Complex” Subject Chosen for Address January 14 Dr. Alexander Goldenweiser, professor of thought and culture of the Portland extension center, will speak in Villard hall Sunday evening, January 14, at 7:30 o’clock, according to H. G. Town send, chairman of the Committee on Free Intellectual Activities which is sponsoring the lecture. “Our Economic Complex” is the subject of Dr. Goldenweiser has chosen for his address, which is the second of the lecture series presented annually by the commit tee for the past three! years. The first was delivered by Kenneth Scott Latourette, speaking on Chi nese philosophy. “This is the first time we have tried to hold a lecture of this kind on a Sunday evening,” stated Townsend, “but we hope to have a large audience. Those who usual ly attend public forums in Eugene on this night are invited to attend this lecture concerning present-day problems. Dr. Goldenweiser has given a great deal of thought to his subject and is capable of deal ing authoritatively with the topic. The lecture is open to all the com munity and is free of charge.’’ Goldenweiser will conduct an open discussion after the lecture. Dr. George Rebec, head of the phil osophy department, will preside at the meeting. Two other lectures have been scheduled for the series, including an address by Roger Williams of Oregon State college, formerly of Oregon, on “Chemical Secrets of Living Matter,” to be held Wed nesday, January 24, and “Appre ciation of Poetry,” by E. G. Moll of the English department, for which no date has as yet been set. Lomax to Talk on Trade Relations “How International Relations May Be Altered by Changes in Oriental Markets” will be the sub ject of a talk by A. L. Lomax, professor of business administra tion, at a Social Science club meeting and dinner at the Faculty club Monday night. Lomax said he will show how Japanese and Indian trade rela tionships have been changed be cause of unsatisfactory market conditions, especially in the field of cotton and its products. “I think cotton holds the key to the whole situation,” stated Lo max. Dinner at the Faculty club will be at 6:15. After the dinner Lo max will read his paper, and an informal discussion of it will fol low. Whole Term to Finish Exam Questions? There’s a Catch Final examination questions are out! How would you like to have your exam questions given to you at the beginning of term and be told to answer them any time you felt like it before the end of the term ? Not bad. That is just exactly what is be ing done in Capt. W. A. Wappen stein's senior class for military sci ence majors. The class now has its questions and will be allowed till the end of the term to answer and hand them in. However, there is a catch to it; there always is. It is not going to be as easy as it appears. The prin cipal subject to be studied is of fensive and defensive chemical warfare, and Wappenstein is rest ing assured that only by poring hour after hour over volumes and volumes of books can the questions possibly be completely answered. The entire supply at the ROTC barracks must be fully exhausted and all the books at the main li brary and Condon, printed on the subject, must be absorbed before the examination can be passed. It is believed that in spite of hav ing their questions in their pockets now, less than one-third of the class will make A's. This system of instruction is by no means an experiment. Al though it is the first time it has ever been tried in the military classes on this campus, it has been done many times quite successful ly in the army, and the results are predictable to a certain degree. And where are the answers to these questions ? Oh, they are locked up in the safe in the back room of the ROTC barracks. Seniors Agree On Subsidy of 1934 Oregana Estimated Deficit to Be Shared by ASUO BOOK CONTRACT LET Baseball Budget Increased $1150 To Cover Conference Travel Cost An estimated Oregana deficit of $731 was revealed at a meeting of the executive council yesterday when its annual printing contract was submitted for formal ap proval. The senior class had agreed to subsidize the book to the extent of half the deficit but not more than $350, the rest to be paid by the associated students. The printing contract for the 1934 volume was let to Koke Chapman company of Eugene. It was understood that Prink Callison, head football coach, was rehired at an increase’ in salary. There is no contract to’be signed, as he has the same status as a University professor. No hint could be obtained from the au thorities on • the amount of the salary which v/ill be offered. In keeping with the agreement made at a meeting of northwest managers in December, providing for replacement of baseball on the regular conference schedule, the budget for this sport was in creased $1150 to take care of traveling expenses. Those present at the meeting were: Hugh E. Rosson, graduate manager; N. Thomas Stoddard, assistant graduate manager; Tom Tongue, president of the associ ated students; Neal Bush, vice president; Nancy Suomela, secre tary; Helen Burns, senior woman; Dick Near, senior man; Dr. H. C. Howe, athletic representative; Dr. D. C. Stanard, alumnus; Lynn Mc Cready, alumnus; Robert K. Al len, alumni secretary; Karl W. Onthank, dean of personnel, and Myron Pinkstaff, junior man. Absent members of the execu tive council were Otto Vonderheit, Dean J. H. Gilbert, and Dr. Earl M. Pallett. Research Grant Given Dr. Huestis A national research grant of $450 has been given to Dr. R. R. Huestis, of the zoology depart ment, for experiments in genetics with the American deer mouse. The plan is to work out the in heritance of several coat colors for technical information concerning the characters of this genus and for a comparison with data ob tained from other laboratory ani mals. Dr. Huestis has about 600 animals on hand for the experi ments, including a number of mu tant types not possessed by any other investigators. The grant was obtained through the recommendations of Dean E. L. Packard, dean of botany, and Dr. F. B. Sumner, of the Univer sity of California, under whom Dr. Huestis did most of his graduate work. Mad Hatter’s Banquet Date Planned by Club A date for the Mad Hatter’s banquet was one of the points dis cussed Thursday night at the Wes ley club cabinet meeting. The Mad Hatter’s banquet, based on the story of Alice in Wonderland, is an annual fun affair for all stu dents. Eula Loomis, president of the club, appointed a committee to ar range a convenient date. Other subjects which came up were plans for improving the club rooms and finances. Students Register for Selling Field Positions Students wishing to secure posi tions in the selling field after grad uation would find it profitable to register with the employment sec retary of the Portland Y.M.C.A., it was suggested yesterday by A. L. Lomax, professor of business administration. “It is quite an opportunity to students,” Lomax said. He ex< plained that Portland firms seek Elliott when they need salesmen, and it would be to the student’s advantage to register with him.” Registration to Close At Noon W ith Smaller Enrollment for Term At noon today all registration will be finished for the winter term, and any students desiring admission after that time must secure a grant of special per mission, announced Clifford L. Constance, assistant registrar, yesterday. Enrollment figures now in clude 2024 students, with the probability of a few more yet to register. This is nearly sev en percent less than registra tion for winter term df a year ago, when 2190 were enrolled. Last term there were 2122 in attendance. Oswald G. Villard Will Give Speech Here on March 6 Contributing Editor of The Natiofl Will Discuss Subject of American Isolation Oswald Garrison Villard, author, lecturer and editor of internation al repute, will deliver and address to a student assembly in Gerlinger hall, Tuesday, March 6, Karl W. Onthank, dean of personnel admin istration, announced yesterday. The subject is to be “Can the United States Live for Itself?’’ Villard, son of Henry Villard, for whom Villard hall was named, was editor-in-chief of The Nation until a few months ago, and has had a notable career as journalist. He received his first newspaper experience as a reporter on the Philadelphia Press. From 1897 1918 he’ wras editorial writer and president of the New York Eve ning Post. Under his leadership the Post gained great influence and authority as it was absolutely independent of the counting room or any political party. In 1918, Villard sold the Post and assumed the editorship of The Nation, which had been virtually a weekly edition of the daily. Unde*' him The Nation again became an independent weekly, reviving the vigorous liberalism of the old pa per under Godkin. He is at pres ent contributing editor of The Na tion. Oswald ‘ Garrison Villard is the author of several books, such as “John, Brown,” “A Biography Fif ty Years After,” “Germany Em battled,” “Some Newspapers and Newspapermen,” and*recently pub lished “The German Phoenix.” He has traveled extensively throughout Europe, returning re cently from his last visit. Few can speak with more authority on the political, social and economic prob lems confronting Europe today. Students Pledged By Law Honorary Nino law students, five of whom are on the law school honor roll, were pledged yesterday to Phi Delta Phi, national legal frater nity. Those pledges were selected from the three classes in the law school, three being taken from the first year class, five from the second, and one from the third year. Qualifications for Phi Delta Phi are based on scholastic standing and personal considerations. Pledges are William T. Noel, third year student; Arthur M. Clark, William Palmer, John Pen nington, Louis Skinner, Howard Bobbitt, second year students; James G. Smith, Otto Vonderheit, and Robert L. Marks, first year students. Tonqueds Make Plans For Sale and Meeting Plans for a rummage sale to be held February 3 were discussed at the Tonqued council meeting last Wednesday evening, and Virginia Endicoft was placed in charge of the affair. A nominating committee was chosen, consisting of Lois Mar garet Hunt, Catherine Coleman, and Mae Schnellbacher. The next mass meeting of the Tonqueds is scheduled for Tuesday night, January 16, at the Gamma Phi Beta house. Campus Calendar Thespian meeting next Tuesday at 6:45 in the women’s room at Gerlinger. Important P. E. club meeting Tuesday, 4 p. m., in room 121, Ger linger hall. Dial will meet at 7:30 Monday with Mrs. Leslie Lewis, 921 Hil yard. Riflemen Excel Other Students InCoordination Experiment Supervised By Dr. Seashore 60 UNDERGO TESTS New an 3 Efficient Method Seen For Select'on of Expert Corps of Marksmen Expert riflemen of the Univer sity of Oregon R. O. T. C. unit greatly excelled all other students examined in a series of| muscular coordination tests given here re cently, and so positive were the results that University psycholo gists see in the experiment a new and efficient method of selecting men for expert marksmen, it was announced by Dr. Robert H. Sea shore, associate professor of psy chology, and Raymond D. Adams, his assistant. The results showed that but one person out of 60 examined equaled the record made by members of the rifle team in a series of five tests. Musicians, draftsmen and athletes, as 'well as a number of men selected at random, made up the group. Standard Test Sought Additional experiments carried out with the riflemen indicate that the actual training in rifle shooting itself was not the major factor in accounting for the su periority shown by team members. Intensive practice in the tests themselves carried on over a pe riod 10 times as long as the stand ard time produced an amount of improvement which would account for only one-fifth of the total 'range of individual difference. The University scientists now plan, as a crucial test, to select from men wholly untrained in rifle shooting one group showing superiority in these tests and an other showing average ability. Both groups will then be given the same training in marksman ship. If the selected group shows a marked superiority in actual rifle fire, it is believed that a standard test can be devised that will eliminate the costly practice methods now used to select men for training. The saving in am munition alone would be a tre mendous item, it is pointed out. Five Tests Given iuc me icsLs given mciuaea the Miles ataxiameter measuring postural sway, the Beal and Hall ataxiagraph for photographing tremor movements of the arm, a steadiness test apparatus devised by the University men for meas uring accuracy in thrusting and in arm steadiness, and a fifth test that records the actual sway of the rifle in shooting position, A common factor of steadiness, quite unexpected, was found in the tests. Most motor tests, such as those for speed, are unrelated, the scientists pointed out. The rifle team and athletes were su perior to the unselected group in every test, while draftsmen and pianists were superior in all but the ataxiagraph test. Devices Made Here To the casual observer only one of the tests, that in which a regu lation army rifle is used, appears to be directly related to marks manship. All of the others, how ever, contribute important factors. One of the devices that is espe cially valuable in determining ac curacy of thrust and steadiness was constructed by the Univer sity experts in the laboratory here. It consists chiefly of a fiber disc about eight inches in diam eter, the surface of which contains a series of holes graded from large to small. The subject holds I a stylus and attempts to thrust I it into the holes. If the stylus touches the side of the hole, a record is made. In another test on the same device, the stylus must be held within the hole for 10 seconds, and each time a move ment of the arm brings it into contact with the side of the hole for even as little as one one-hun dredth of a second, it is recorded on delicate instruments. In the rifle steadiness test a metal stylus is fastened securely to the muzzle of the rifle. The stylus is fastened by silk threads to levers which record both verti cal and horizontal movements while the subject is actually in the act of aiming at a target. Sway Measured Postural sway is measured in (Continued on Page Two) Symphony Set To Appear in Igloo Sunday | Eighty - Piece Orchestra Includes Slaters __ I EVENT TO START AT 3 Tliirty-five Eugene People, Sixteen Oregon State Students Make Extra Large Group Tomorrow the event which is generally considered the highlight of the winter musical season is scheduled to take place at McAr thur court at 3 p. m. This is the first appearance of the University Symphony orchestra during this school year. Admission is free. The program follows: I. Prelude to “Die Meistersinger . Wagner II. First Movement of the Sym phony No. 3 in E flat, (Eroica) . Beethoven III. Polevitsky dances from “Prince Igor,”.Borodin (1) Introduction. (2) Dance of the Slave Maidens. (3) Dance of the Wild Men.

Eugene Well Represented Eugene musicians predominate in the personnel of the University 80-piece symphony orchestra which will be heard tomorrow. Thirty five are from Eugene. Many of them, according to Rex Underwood, the conductor, are well-known res idents who have taken an active interest and part in the orchestra for years. Sixteen Oregon State college students will be included in the or chestra. The large size of the or ganization permits the presenta tion of Wagner’s prelude to “The Meistersingers” and Tschaikow sky’s 1812 Overture in their orig inal and complete scoring. Complete Roster Given The complete roster of the or chestra includes Howard Halbert, Delbert Moore, George Kotchik, Frances Brockman, Madalena Guis tina, Edwin Raudsep, Clara Lar sen, Ellen Galey, Peggy Sweeney, Vivien Beardsley, Enid Bosworth, Roxanna Waldorf, Vivian Malone, and Leo Lohikoski, first violins; Virginia Endicott, Josephine Chap man, Maryshore Mishler, Jane Veblen, Floy Young, Kamilla Kle kar, Una Anderson, Kenneth Mayer, Marjorie Foster, Florence Stone, Norma Loffelmacher, sec ond violins.

Lohikoski, snare Irum, and Thomas Stevenson, bass tlrum. The prelude to “Die Meister ninger” has been considered in a previous article. Suffice it to re call that it reflects the mood of the opera itself, which was com posed in a comic, almost satirical, vein. It is reputed to burlesque mother more serious opera, “Tann tiauser,” by the same composer. Feeling Nationalistic It is interesting to note that the Beethoven Eroica symphony and the 1812 overture of Tschaikowsky are both full of strong national feeling, and are both inspired by Napoleon Bonaparte. In 1803, Beethoven first con ceived this symphony, and had de cided to dedicate it to Napoleon, since he felt that the great gen eral was the God-sent deliverer of , Europe from the decay of the mid (Conlinued on Page Three) Beaver Ace Above is George Hibbard, flashy Beaver forward, who will cavort in the Igloo tonight, when the Oregon quintet and Orangemen meet. Publishers’ Code To Be Discussed At Press Meeting Prominent Oregon Newspapermen Will Convene on Campus On January 18, 19, 20 The publishers’ code will provide an important topic of discussion at the • sixteenth annual Oregon press conference in the school of journalism on January 18, 19, and 20. Talks are scheduled by news papermen of the state and by ex perts from other sections of the country. O. C. Harn, Chicago, managing director of the Audit Bureau of Circulation, will be on the program for an address before both the dailies and weeklies session. He has had intimate contact with cir culation and circulation problems all over the United States and his appearance here is expected to draw many publishers who arc vi tally interested in this phase of business. From San Francisco will come Floyd L. Sparks, advertising ex pert, who will address the general session on "Advertising Under the ‘New Deal’.” He is expected to bring several new ideas for the advertising men of both dailies and weeklies. Prominent Oregon newspaper men on the program include Earle . Richardson, publisher of the Dallas Itemizer-Observer, who will speak on “What the New Codes Are Do ing to Advertising’’; Simeon R. Winch, Oregon Journal, who will lead a part of the discussion on the newspaper and publishing code; C. P. Haight, publisher of the Blue Mountain Eagle, Canyonville, who will be one of the leading (Continued on Paye Two) Willard Jones May Not Play In Tilt Tonight Absence of Pivot Man Gives OSC Odds TEAMS EVEN NOW Ducks Well Versed in Beavers* Claying Style and Hope to Avenge 1933 Defeat The “big- civil war” opens to night at McArthur court when the champion Oregon State college quintet tangles with the Webfoots in the third conference game of the 1934 season for both schools. Following their respective series with the Washington State five, Oregon and the Beavers were slat ed by experts to renew hostilities tonight on even terms. But on the eve of the battle comes word that Willard Jones, stellar center for the Ducks, playing his first season of conference ball, may not be able to participate tonight. Knee Wrenched The sturdy transfer from South ern Oregon normal sustained a badly wrenched knee in practice Thursday afternoon that, accord ing to Trainer Bob Officer, will probably keep him out of the ma jor part of the tilt with the Bea vers. He may be able to see ac tion in part of the game, but his playing will be considerably ham pered by the injured leg. In case the Oregon center is kept on the bench, the Orange team will take the floor with the odds favoring it. Not only is Jones the tallest man on the squad and consequently a valuable man in the center circle, but his floor play is outstanding. Bob Miller, letter man center, will probably be used in the starting lineup in Willard’s place. i * 5i hi in oriitjjp The rest of Reinhart’s squad are in excellent physical condition and well versed in the Beavers’ style of play. The “green wave,” com posed of bench-warmers who wear green shirts in practice, have posed as Oregon Staters since Wednesday, rehearsing Orange plays and defensive formation against the first team. Bill Rein hart’s new offensive attack to be used against the Beavers’ zone de fense was running smoothly last light against the reserves, and the Webfoot coach expects it to pro duce plenty of points this evening. Beavers Set Oregon State will enter the game tonight with full strength. Wilbur Kidder, a six-foot, three inch high-jumper from Pendleton, Oregon, is handling the center post for Coach Gill, with the veterans O'Connell and Hibbard at for wards, and McDonald and Lenchit sky at the guard positions. Kidder, playing his first year on the Or ange varsity, has the best chance at the tip-off against Miller, who is shorter by an inch or two. The Oregon players are awaiting tonighi s game with impatience. Their one idea is to erase last year’s record, when the Staters won four straight games, taking their 'first series from Oregon 3ince Reinhart’s coaching debut in 1923. Supporters are behind the local team to the last ditch. Tentative lineups: OREGON O. S. C. Robertson.F. O’Connell Berg.F. Hibbard Miller..C. Kidder Olinger.G. McDonald B. Jones.G. Lenchitsky 'Wait for the Whistle,9Says Heustis to Captive Mouse By RUTH WEBER Talk about human beings “going in circles”! Have you heard about the mouse, who with no more in centive than Dr. R. R. Huestis’ maddening whistle, starts skipping about her straw-cover floor in small circles, big circles always going the same direction, follow ing the curve of her tail. “Circle Tail’s’’ pecuriarity was first dis covered when she was “walking the floor” with a tiny offspring in her mouth. There are lots more odd facts that can be discovered at the re search laboratory where Dr. Hues tis and Betty Barto, assistant, are experimenting in genetics with the American deer mouse. These mice are nocturnal crea tures with big beady eyes, and deer-like ears. Their coats vary in colors of silver and brown. The white-faces or “stars” are larger on males as a rule. Through ser lected breeding spotted mice have been produced, with the spots us ually appearing on the head and ventral surface. Another type found at Coos bay has long tails with white tips. The experimenters were com pletely surprised when mice with “kinky” tails were produced from a crossing of normal mice. The fe males of this mutation, however, are not fertile. A “singing” mouse once had the spotlight. It really sang—a low, thin note with varying tones. Dr. Huestis explained that the mouse probably had laryngitis and when it was cured its song stopped.
