New W. A. A. Activity Plan Worked Out System to Be Presented In Thursday Meeting ‘C” Average, Participation in One Sport Are Requirements For Membership In an attempt to widen contacts with women on the campus and j to open membership to a greater number of people interested in W. A. A. activities, a new participa tion system has been worked out and accepted by the executive council of W. A. A. It will be presented to W. A. A. members at a mass meeting to be held Thursday, January 18, at 4 p. m. in the women's lounge, Gerlinger hall. Under the new system which will replace the old point system, membership includes a “C” aver age in scholarship, and participa tion in a sport for one term, or participation in committee work (a new idea) equivalent to one! sports’ participation. Membership is divided in two sections, voting and non-voting. Voting members, as the name in dicates, can vote, and have been placed on an intramural team. They can hold major offices such as president, and so forth. A non-voting member is one who shows some interest in W. A. A. activities, comes out for the love of the sport but does not make two weekly practices. Non voting members include girls on I house teams. They cannot vote but may be chosen a sport’s man ager. Both voting and non-voting members will be initiated. Awards will be continued the same as before. A girl must be a voting member before she may receive an award. The basis for a small “O” is five activities, three in sports and two on com mittee work, honoraries, clubs or sports’ managers, or all five in sports. The basis for a letter sweater is twice the above and for each stripe the same requirements must again be fulfilled. The W. A. A. council recommends the girl for her award on completing these re quirements. A sweater is awarded by unanimous vote of the execu tive council. Master Dance and Amphibian, swimming honorary, will be in cluded under W. A. A. activities. Each honorary will have a repre sentative on the W. A. A. council. One activity credit is given to a girl when she is pledged to the honorary and another credit for each year she is an active mem ber. One credit is given to each member of a club for participat ing for one season. Clubs include ping-pong, badminton, hiking or any activity which people are in terested in to form a club. This participation system, which is partially explained above, will be fully read and discussed at the mass meeting. This meeting is not limited to W. A. A. members alone, but is. open to all women interested in any phase of W. A. A. activities. If accepted, the participation system will go into effect immediately. Members hav ing points under the.~old system will have them transferred to the new system. CONCERTS FOR. WINTER TERM SLATED BY ASUO (Continued from Pane One) from the lively and rhythmic danc es to the somber, melancholy songs. Herbert Selection Slated A selection from Victor Her bert’s “Wizard of the Nile’’ adds a tuneful interlude to the program together with a march in Oriental style. The “Coronation March” by Ei lenberg concludes the program. It is exactly what it is meant to be. It combines pomp and ceremony wdth dash and color. It is descrip tive of the coronation of some great monarch. DUKE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE DURHAM, N. C. Four terms of eleven weeks are given each year. These may be taken consecutively (M.D. in three years) or three terms may be taken each year (M.D. in four years). The entrance requirements are intelligence, character and at least two years of college work, including the subjects specified for Grade A Medical Schools. Cata logues and application forms may be obtained from the Dean. Oratory Contest In Jewett Series Set for March 1 Extempore Competition Scheduled On February 22; Prizes to Be Presented l University “silver tongues’’ will have ample opportunities to dem onstrate their speaking ability this term, with the speech division's announcement of the W. F. Jewett oratorical contest scheduled for March 1. The Jewett extempore competi tion, also slated for the winter term, will be held February 22. Competitors for the three prizes of $15, $10, and $5 to be awarded winners of the oratorical contest, may choose their own subjects, ac cording to John L. Casteel, who is handling the competition. “How ever,” he said, “contestants should be warned that subjects dealing with some vital and timely prob lem—social, economic, political, or educational—will be favored by the judges. Casteel also outlined several rules that “should be read by stu dents interested in the contest": 1. Speeches shall be original compositions, delivered without the aid of notes or manuscript. 2. No oration shall require more than 15 minutes for delivery, or contain more than 200 words of quoted material. . 3. Each contestant shall submit a written copy of his oration to the speech division not later than five days before March 1, the date of the contest. 4. Students wishing to earn credit in English 308, intercolleg iate oratory, may use their ora tions as part of the class projects, by consulting the speech division. A speaker to represent the Uni versity in the state oratorical con test, prizes of which are $20 and $10, will be selected from among the three winners of this compo sition. WILLARD MARKS NEW PRESIDENT OF BOARD (Continued from Page One) be presented for the board's ap proval at a meeting called for Monday, January 29, at 2 p. m. Election of Willard Marks of Albany as president of the board went through, as expected, with out a dissenting voipe. The choice of Charles A. Brand of Roseburg as vice-president likewise was unanimous. Action Taken Late None of these major items of business was acted upon until late in the afternoon, the morning and early afternoon having been de voted to routine matters. The meeting ended with a brief address by B. F. Irvine, opening “God give us peace!” Irvine de clared that the board was em barking upon a new era of har mony and cooperation. Two of the present eight mem bers of the board were absent from the session here—G. B. Mc Leod, who was not in the state, and Mrs. Cornelia Marvin Pierce, now in Washington, D. C. Marks, Brand, Irvine, F. E. Callister, E. C. Sammons, and Herman Oliver took part in the meeting. Summer schools were approved by the state board. Regular ses sions of six weeks will be held at the University, Oregon State, the three normal schools, and the Portland extension center. The University and Oregon Normal will be the only places for post sessions. The budget for these activities was reduced to a large extent from that of last year, the 1934 sum being $22,800. SIGMA DELTA CHI CUP TO GO TO BEST WEEKLY (Continued from Page One) in the state may enter the con test. The judges include Dave Foulkes, The Oregonian; Lucian B. Arant, Baker Democrat-Herald; John Anderson, Eugene Morning News. This is the fifth annual “best weekly” contest, which is spon sored every year by the Univer sity of Oregon chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, men's national journal ism fraternity, in conjunction with the Oregon Press conference. The one change in the altera tion of the rules concerning the issues to be submitted makes it necessary for the contestants to choose two consecutive issues be tween the dates of January 1 and December 10, 1933, inclusive; in addition they will submit the first issues of October and November. By this change, it is hoped that the judging board will have a bet ter basis for judging on both the average rim of the paper and on those .specimens which the con testant considers his best work. Scoring will be on news and ★ Marieix>RESSLER ★ John BARRYMORE ★ Wallace BEERY ★ Jean HARLOW 1 ★ Lionel BARRYMORE ★ Lee TRACY ★ Edmund LOWE *Rjllie BURKE ^BOSAIPI New Groups In Extension Work Offered Give Many Free Time Reading Courses — No Credit .Given; Studies Planned For Adults, Students Unable To Attend College | “Free time correspondence read ing courses.” That is the name of a new group of courses in the cor- j respondence study department of the extension division. This fea ture was organized by the exten sion division working with C. A. Howard, state superintendent of public instruction, O. D. Adams, j chairman of the committtee for administration of civil works ser vice projects in education in Ore gon, and Miss Helen Long, state librarian. These courses are non-credit and are designed for students who are unable to attend college or any other interested adults. Explana tions and introductions are includ ed with each course and there are no entrance requirements. Courses in education, English, history, hygiene, literature, sci ence, social science and travel1 are iisted in the announcement which came off the press Monday. Oth ers may be added if students ex press interests in other fields. The present list includes child psychology, mental hygiene, home and school, the school and the community, fundamentals of Eng lish, preparation for short story writing, Germany since the World war, Italy since the World war, Russia since the World war, United States since the World war, hy giene in fundamentals of heals, guiding children’s reading, contem porary drama, the modern novel, nineteenth century English, ele ments of geology, geography of Oregon, nature study, Oregon birds, Oregon wild flowers, plant study, American national govern ment, state and local government, origin and development of social groups, applications of sociology, a :our of the Pacific, a visit to north ern Europe, a Mediterranean tour. This is the plan which the exten sion division worked out through the use of funds supplied for adult education by the C.W.A. content, the field in which the paper operates, editorial page, front page, mechanical excellence, and advertising. The rules are as follows: (1) All copies of newspapers to be judged must be in the hands of the field manager by January 5, 1934. (2) All the copies must be wrapped together (preferably flat), securely tied and marked "Sigma Delta Chi Best Weekly Contest.” They are to be sent to Arne G. Rae, field manager, school of journalism, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon. (3) Each paper will submit at least two consecutive issues published on or between the dates of January 1 and December 10, 1933. Each pa per will also submit the first issue of October, 1933, and November, 1933; four issues in all. (4) En tries must be from the general run of the paper and on the same stock as used for regular editions. (5) Winner of cup in 1932 contest will be ineligible for competition this year. (6) Weeklies and twice weeklies only are to be admitted to the contest. The cup is now in possession of the Hood River News. Other own ers have been the Hillsboro Argus, the Heppner Gazette-Times and the McMinnville Telephone-Regis ter. 10 NAMES ON PETITION GIVEN TO STATE BOARD (Continued from Page One) signers. Other names were Rich ard Neuberger, Josephine Rice, Ray “Butch” Morse, Margaret Stauff, Eugene Laird, A1 Edwards Jr., Orval Thompson, and Floyd Smith. Chancellor Kerr declared that1 normal procedure in the case would involve a conference be tween the president of the Asso- ! ciated Students, the graduate manager, administration officials, and the persons desiring the change. Callison Bonus Refused The board likewise refused to I confirm an action of the Univer sity executive council granting to 1 Prince G. Callison, football coach, I a bonus of $1000 for his services during the recent football season. This proposal came up for ap proval immediately following Neu berger's plea for optional payment of fees, and it was pointed out by a member of the board that there seemed to be an injustice in raising the football coach's salary while students were asking relief from payment of fees. The matter was referred to the finance committee, for a report at the next meeting of the board. Hamilton in Portland James T. Hamilton, graduate as sistant in education, was in Port land this weekend to see his moth er, who had broken her arm re cently. Scanning the Cinemas MCDONALD — ‘‘Dinner at Eight,” Marie Dressier, Lio nel Barrymore, John Barry more, Jean Harlow, Wallace Beery, Billie Burke, Edmund Lowe, Lee Tracy. COLONIAL—“I Cover the Wa terfront,” Claudette Colbert, Ben Lyon, Ernest Torrence. Also Disney Silly Symphony, “Lullaby Land.” By J. A. NEWTON Rose Himelstein's remarks on "Life Begins” were her own idea. She wanted to give the feminine slant on the show. Smuggling Story "I Cover the Waterfront,” the Colonial attraction, is the tale of a newspaper reporter who uncov ers the activities of a clever smuggler. The girl is the smug gler's daughter. Ben Lyon and Claudette Colbert give nice performances. Ernest Torrence, whose face has been fa miliar to movie fans for many years, gives the last performance before his recent death. He will be missed. The remainder of the program is excellently chosen. .There is a Mickey Mouse comedy, a short called “The Cougar’s Mistake,” which is a real thriller, and a silly symphony, "Lullaby Land," which adds another laurel to the de served crown of Walt Disney. It is quite as artistically imaginative and colorful as its forerunners. All-Star Production "Dinner at Eight” filled up the lobby of the Mac with a waiting line Sunday night. That long list of stars ought to fill any theater. The story is built on the events leading up to a wealthy woman's society dinner. Her crowning tri umph is the acceptance of her in vitation by a lord and lady from England, who leave suddenly for Florida. She invites a burnt-out matinee idol (John Barrymore); her hus band asks her to invite a finan cial pirate who is in a position to help him in a business way (Wal lace Beery) and his uncouth wife who wants to get up in society (Jean Harlow); she invites a for mer stage star (Marie Dressier); the society physician (Edmund Lowe) and his wife (Karen Mor ley); and a cousin (Louise Closser Hale). The events are rather unusual and come in quite a bunch. But they certainly are interesting. The lines are excellently done by this seasoned group of troup ers. The final line will put you in the aisle. Ask somebody who’s seen the show. The good old Greek unity of time is employed very effectively here. The bulk of the production covers one day. that on which din ner is to be served at eight. Very worth while. . ' Fair Lady, I Kiss Your Glove,9 May Win Dance Ticket ! The polite need not wait for a celestial reward. At least not on the Oregon cam pus—for tomorrow, the most po lite man and woman in the Uni versity will each be presented with i ticket to the Gamma Alpha Chi dance, and the woman with a cor- J sage also, donated by Lester Mac Donald of the Campus Flower shop—as a reward of true virtue. This will close a contest, open during the past week, for the most polite co-ed and gentleman in the University. It has been sponsored by Phi Theta Upsilon, women’s up perclass honorary, in connection with the sale of “The Curtsy,” clever book of etiquette dealing with campus traditions, customs and manners. This book has been on sale at women’s living organizations and at the Co-op; and although it can not now be obtained, it may be on sale again Wednesday at the Co op, so that those unlucky students who are not winners of the con test, may discover their faults, and perhaps remedy them so that an other time they may be judged the “most polite.” Louise Barclay, chairman of the sale, announced that many students seemed interested in becoming po lite (or remaining so)—if the large sale of copies of “The Curt sy” may be a judge.

Article of Cornell Law School Head To Be in Review Dr. Burdick Accepts Invitation of Dean Morse to Publish Paper in Magazine Dr. Charles K. Burdick, dean of the law school of Cornell univer sity, has accepted the invitation of : Dr. Wayne L. Morse, dean of the i University law school, to publish an article in the February issue of the Oregon Law Review. Dean Burdick read his paper, | which is on the “Improvement of the Substantive Law of Crimes,’’ at the last convention of the As sociation of American Law Schools, held recently in Chicago. Last year Dean Roscoe Pound of the Harvard law school pub lished in the Oregon Law Review a paper which he had given at the law school convention. In commenting on Dean Bur dick's acceptance of the invitation to publish his article, Dean Morse said, “It is satisfying to note that the high quality of the Oregon Law Review is increasing to ap peal to eastern law scholars. Dean Burdick is a recognized leader in the field of criminal law reform and in view of the fact that two state commissioners in Oregon are now making a thorough study of the problem, I though his article would be timely." C. E. Spencer to Speak At Pre-Legal Meeting Pro. Carlton E. Spencer, of the University of Oregon law school, will speak at the first winter term meeting of the pre-legal student association, to be held at 7:30 to night in room 105 Oregon. Professor Spencer's speech will be on “Some Interesting Sidelights on Ancient Law,” and will be given in a rather light vein. Following this, a short business meeting will be held, and the possibility of giv ing a pre-legal student dance will be discussed. The pre-legal student associa tion is an organization of those students who are planning to study law, but are not yet in the Univer sity law school. Orval Thompson, junior, is president of the associa tion.

Two Oregon Lads To Oxford; Stale’s Record 9349s Best The state of Oregon gained the rare distinction this year of send ing two Rhodes scholars to Oxford from within its boundaries, for three years of study in the Eng lish university. This feat was duplicated by only five other states this year. They are Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, Oklahoma and Utah. However, Oregon and Missouri were the only states sending two students who resided in the state where they attended school. Con sidered on a “per capita’’ basis, Oregon's distinction is the more remarkable. The Oregon Rhodes scholarship winners were Robert Hayter of Dallas, graduate of the University last year and now a student of the University of Oregon medical school in Portland, and Oscar Gass, senior of Reed college, Portland. Supply Caught A supply of sea urchins was caught by H. B. Yocom and R. R. Huestis of the zoology department at Sunset bay Saturday for the general zoology and biology sur vey classes to use in studying the early development of organisms. DAR to Approve Campus Chapter At Board Meeting Petition Is Successful; Installation Of Local Officers to Be Held March 28 Daughters of the American Revolution will approve a chapter for the University at the meeting of the national board of manage ment at Washington on February 1, according to a letter received by Tom Tongue, student body president, from Mrs. John Y. Rich ardson, state regent.

Taylor Gives Exam in Psychology to Nurses Professor Howard R. Taylor of the psychology department trav eled to Portland last week to give a psychology examination to the students of the nursing school there. This exam was a duplicate of the one given entering fresh men of the University. "Elnora Thompson, director of nursing education at the medical school in Portland, felt the need of a program of research,” stated Taylor, “to study the aptitude necessary for success in subjects on the nursing school prograrii. Sixty-eight students took the ex amination, and it is hoped that the results will provide research study for information advising nurses in educational courses." _/#//#♦//« V": ‘W ■**fjM0/**+H**+***-m•Jf// . w Brother, You’re Dumb! “You know a lot of people seem to think that there isn’t any difference in the quality of the things you buy.
