1 Plans Formed
By Committee
For Research
Wayne Morse Returns as
Representative
‘Control of Social Forces’ to Be
Theme of Topic for Meet
In San Francisco
Plans for the annual social sci
ence research conference were
made last week at a meeting of the
Pacific coast regional committee
of the social science research coun
cil, according to Dr. Wayne L.
Morse, dean of the University law
school, who returned Sunday noon
from the meeting, which Was held
in Berkeley, California.
Dean Morse, who was the official
representative from the University
of Oregon, said that the theme top
ic for the conference, which will
he held in San Francisco in June,
is to be the “Control of Social
Forces." The program will be di
vided into six or eight round ta
bles, all based on the theme sub
ject.
The regional committee dis
cussed chiefly the policies to be
adopted concerning the encourage
ments of research activities on the
Pacific coast, according to Dean
Morse. They passed on several re
grants and aids, the nature of
which will be announced later.
Dr. Dan Clark of the University
of Oregon history department was
appointed chairman of the regional
subcommittee on history. Dr. L.
S. Cressman, professor of sociology
at the University, will continue as
chairman of the subcommittee on
uniform social statistics.
Report Presented
Dr. Carl L. Alsberg of Stanford
university presented the annual re
port of the meeting of the national
social science research council, held
at Franconia, New Hampshire, last
August. Dr. Alsberg is chairman
of the regional committee, which
is composed of nine members, ap
pointed by the national organiza
tion from well-known social sci
entists. Dean Morse has served on
this committee for two years, suc
ceeding Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall,
former president of this Univer
sity.
Commenting on the meeting,
Dean Morse reported that it was
the consensus of opinion of those
present that research activities
among academic men on the Pa
cific coast are being received with
great favor by eastern research
councils and foundations.
He also stated that Ronald Beat
tie, who was associated with Dean
Morse in the preparation of the
Oregon crime survey, has just com
pleted a study of court records in
Alameda county, California, which
has won favorable comment in and
around San Francisco.
OREGON PRESS MEET
TO GET UNDER WAY
(Continued from Page One)
en when the newspaper men regis
ter for the conference. The cinema
was shown in Chicago at the Cen
tury of Progress exposition.
Companies Cooperate
Assisted by Ernest Elmo Calk
ins, a joint committee, consisting
of Edgar Kobak, John Benson and
P. L. Thompson, representing the
Advertising Federation of America,
the American Association of Ad
vertising Agencies, and the Asso
ciation of National Advertisers,
undertook the preparation of the
scenario. The picture was filmed
in the fast time of four weeks.
The expenses of the undertaking,
which included not only the prepa
ration of the film but building of
a small theatre for showing it dur
ing the run of the Century of Pro
gress was borne by six principal
sponsors: the Crowell Publishing
company, the Chicago Daily News,
the McGraw-Hill company, General
Outdoor Advertising company,
General Motors, and General Elec
tric.
Other Entertainment Promised
Points brought out by the pic
ture advance the facts that the
progress in comfort and conven
ience in the last 50 years is due,
not only to invention, but to in
formation; that advertising has
made possible the growth of the
periodical press, with its important
contribution to human knowledge
and the productiveness of human
life; that the newspaper, by build
ing up mass demand and mass dis
tribution, has made possible mass
production with all of its econo
mies.
Ladies attending the conference
will be entertained Friday after
noon by the members of Theta
Sigma Phi and Gamma Alpha Chi, j
women’s journalism and advertis- j
ing fraternities. They will have an
opportunity Friday to inspect the
museum of art and the Murray
Warner collection of Oriental art.

Falls Out of Sleep
When CCC workers at Sultan, Washington, felled a 90-foot snag,
out tumbled the perturbed and extremely little bear cub, which was

T AST weekend the Krazy Kopy
^ Krawl claimed the society
headlines, but this week the out
standing social activity on the
campus is the “hill” federation
dance, to be given Friday evening
in Gerlinger hall. The federation
is Certainly doing things right,
and after the dance, we are told,
there will be a serenade of the
kind that will hold all the fair
young coeds enthralled.
With the beginning of the term,
the whole campus seems to have
become social minded, and teas,
weddings, and exchanges play a
prominent part in this week’s ac
tivities.

be the Delt Trio, composed of Fred
McKinney, Don Law, and Rick
Hilles, which made its first pub
lic appearance at the Krazy Kopy
Krawl last Saturday evening. Ike
Donin is general chairman of the
dance.
The “hill" federation is com

Indian Masks Get
Attention in Two
Library Exhibits
Masks are claiming considerable
attention in the library this week,
say library attendance. They are
to be found in two exhibits, one
on the main floor and the other in
the lobby of the English reserve
department.
Grotesque, many-colored Indian
masks make up the exhibit on the
main floor. Most of them are
loaned by Mrs. Alice H. Ernst, as
sistant professor of English.
Outstanding among the carved
wooden Indian masks is one called
a wolf mask, which is about two
feet long, V-shaped, to emulate
the long, lean head of the wolf.
The eyes, teeth and nostrils are
shown in symbolic painting on the
sides of the mask. Colors used are
orange, white, green, yellow, and
black.
Other articles in the display are
a sea cougar mask, a ghost mask,
a magic rattle, and a modern In
dian rattle, as well as several oth
er items. The masks shown are
used by the Indians in ceremonial
dances and other religious rites.
Notes describing the articles are
shown on cards, accompanying the
exhibit.
On the second floor of the libe
are 19 masks of pottery, clay, and
like substances, together with
books and pictures on the subject,
are displayed. These are the prop
erty of John A. March, assistant
reference librarian, who arranged
both exhibits.
POWERS OF PRESIDENTS

present positions besides taking
over their new duties.
Boyer Dean Here
Boyer, who is dean of the col

merly head of the department of
English at the University. Before
he came to Eugene in 1926, he
was on the English faculty of the
University of Illinois from 1911
to 1926. He graduated from
Princeton university in 1902, was
admitted to the bar in Ohio in
1904, and practiced law in Mari
etta until 1905. He resumed prac
tice in Pittsburgh in 1907 and two
years later became a Charles
Scribner fellow at his alma mater.
He then started his teaching ca
reer at Illinois.
Peavy, dean of the school of

American Legion convention.
The purpose of the committee is
to study the crime problem, and
to devise plans for the active par

of integrity in public service as
well as the more spectacular
crimes, such as kidnapping.
Three of the thirteen members
of the law and order committee

Kathleen McNutt Dies
Despite Transfusions
Kathleen McNutt, former stu
dent of the University, died Sun
day at the Pacific hospital when
blood transfusion failed.
Miss McNutt had been ill for
five months with leucocythenia, a
condition resulting ftfom the lack
of red corpuscle supply. Transfu

her condition became critical last
Monday.
Miss McNutt was born in Eu

her high school education at Eu
gene high school, entering the Uni
versity in the fall of 1929. She

Circulation of Condon
Largest Since April ’32
Condon reserve library had a cir
cuylation of 1223 on Thursday,
January 11, which is considered
very large for a time so early in
the term, and especially in winter
term since the fail is the busiest
time for the campus libraries.
This circulation was the larg
est since April 5, 1932, when the
library circulated 1520 books.

The Demon Reporter
Newspaper stories have been
played to death on the screen, and
new angles are certainly scarce.
In “I Cover the Waterfront,” Ben
Lyon portrays the reporter on the
waterfront beat. He has a daily
feature column, which I should say
is an indication of one of two
things: (1) that the story exagger
ated, or (2) that the reporter was
pretty good.
One thing is certain, and that is
that any reporter who could 3ass
a city editor as this one did could
afford a better place to live than
the garret portrayed, unless he
lived there for the atmosphere.
The efforts to picture the smug
gler as having a noble religious
character are a bit hard to take.
Thank goodness the reporter
isn’t constantly drowning himself
in liquor. No reporter can keep
the pace necessary in that profes
sion and drink intoxicating bever
ages.
On All-Star Productions
It is difficult to put a large
group of popular actors in the
same production and please all the
customers. The public, individual
ly, is apt to feel that his favorite
is being slighted.
In “Dinner at Eight" an attempt
is made to give all of the stars
equally important parts. The re
sult is a series of separate episodes
which finally converge upon the
dinner at eight.
Many have said that Jean Har
low stands out from the group on
the score of superior interpreta
tion of the part. The parts which
I enjoyed most were taken by so
called minor players, who in real
ity are often better and more ex
perienced than the star.
There was, first, May Robson as
the nervous cook with her hair
flying in whisps and her tongue
almost paralyzed. Then there was
Grant Mitchell with his wrinkly
stiff shirt front, who had to carry
Marie Dressler’s peke dog about
while Marie attended to other
matters. Madge Evans is, of
course, always satisfactory to me.
U. of W. Library
Getting $445,000
The University of Washington
has received appropriations
amounting to $445,000 with which
to build two new units to the cam
pus library. This information was
brought back from Seattle by M.
H. Douglass, head of the Univer
sity of Oregon library.
Douglass attended an executive
meeting of the Pacific Northwest
Library association in Seattle over
the past weekend. He is treasurer
of the association. It was during
his stay that he learned of the ap
propriations from Charles W.
Smith, librarian at the University
of Washington.
The present unit of the Univer
sity of Washington library was
built at a cost of about $900,000.
The proposed new library for the
Oregon campus is to cost $350,
000.

President Franklin Roosevelt and
his recovery program, was re

Fines at Library
ToBePaidFrom
Student Deposits
Totals for fall term library fines
aggregate $423.92, according to
figures from the librarian’s office.
Fines from all departments are in
cluded. Those fines which were
paid at the library before the end
of the term totaled $163.33, and
those sent to the administration of
fice for collection $260.59.
The latter figure is probably
augmented by the penalty of 25
cents, which was charged last term
for all fines which had to be sent
to the administration office for
collection.
The system has been changed.
All fines, unless paid when the
book is returned, are immediately
sent to Johnson hall to be taken
from the student’s deposit, and a
bookkeeping charge of, 10 cents is
added.
In many instances fines incurred
by students exceeded the amount
of the deposit, one account being
about $25. In such cases, students
are not allowed to register again
until their accounts are settled.
