T\OG days are here again— if,
you don't believe us ask the
Theta Chi boys! Daschunds, pood
dles, chows or plain old mongrels [
are to be in vogue at the Theta!
Chi dance this weekend because i
it's a "dawg” dance.
Too, now's your chance to be
what you’ve always wanted to be
even though it is only for a night
while at the Beaux Arts ball. Here
virtuous nuns will mingle with
bold, swashbuckling pirates and
many an old-fashioned maid with
her crinolines and curls will cling
to the arm of a French gallant or
mayhap to a "Prince of the Roads’’
—otherwise known as a “bum.”
With these,two alluring pros
pects before us the weekend prom
ises to be an eventful one, then
Dame Society will take her bow
to students until next Friday when
she will once more walk across the
stage of life on the campus leav
ing behind a trail of dinners and
dances.

Young American
Coed Now Editing
Paper in Islands
Speaking of woman's careers,
The Matrix, Theta Sigma Phi
publication, recently printed a
story of a young woman editor
in the Philippine islands, who less
than a year ago was a coed at
Louisiana State university.
This intrepid young woman is
Bessie Hackett, who publishes the
Mindanoa Weekly Herald. Its
masthead reads: “The first to
bring the light of the printed page
to Mindanao and Sula’’ and is now
celebrating its thirtieth anniver
sary.
Although living nearly 10,000
miles away in Zamboanga, Bessie
remarked, “I guess there isn’t
anything like Sulu anywhere.
Some day I want to write many
of the stories I hear from the Mo
ros, the natives, but right now
I’m too busy.”
To the usual observer life would
seem dull and uneventful in a land
so far away, but Bessie finds en
tertainment with many types of
people. Within the year Capt.
Wolfgang von Ganau and his com
panions, eminent flyers, stopped.
The well-known romantic poet,
Richard Haliburton, finds many
subjects for rhyme in “the waving
palm trees, picturesque vistas and
Moros with their blackened teeth
and gayly-colored sarongs.”
John Hackett, Bessie’s father,
was stationed on the islands dur
ing the Spanish-American war,
after which he started the news
paper. After his daughter had
completed her education she took
over the editorship while the fa
ther writes the story of Moroland.
Miss Hackett was the first to
inform the world of the uprising
among the natives in Jolo. A se
rious typhoon sweeping through
the Sulu islands kept her busy re
porting the damage and loss of
life.

Spring has come! Prosperity is

Here it is only the second day
of February and the University

of $1.05 worth of valetines. What
is even more surprising, one cus
tomer bought them all.
Now, recipients of valentines,
take warning and don’t think
you’re “the only one.”
If sales continue in proportion

Dog-racing in its many and var

for the Theta Chi fraternity when
it entertains with its winter infor
mal tomorrow night. Patrons and
patronesses for the dance, which
will be held at the chapter house,
are Mr. and Mrs. John S. Evans,
Dr. and Mrs. W. E. Buchanan, and

Musical Career of University
Orchestra Guest Artist Varied
It was six years ago when she
was 13 years old that Frances
Brockman began seriously to study
the violin. Before that her musi
cal studies were intermittent and
mostly on the piano. Recently she
has been furnishing piano accom
paniment for student musicians,
outside of her regular violin work.
She came from Idaho originally,
lived for a time in California where
she studied with Aronson, and then
in Seattle where she studied un
der Madame Engberg. During her
sophomore year in broadway high
school in Seattle she was concert,
master of the school's orchestra.
While residing in Seattle, Miss
Brockman received her first call
to play with a student orchestra
in Spokane, which is made up of
leading young musicians of the
Northwest. She played a second
time with the group in answer to
a call which she received here.
A scholarship to the National]
High'School Orchestra camp in In
terlochen, Michigan, was offered
her recently, but she did not ac
cept it.
When she competed in a state
wide contest for young violinists
in Portland she won first place.
At the present time Miss Brock
man is studying on a scholarship
with the associate members of Phi
Beta, music and drama honorary.
A year ago last summer while
president of Phi Beta she attended
a music convention in Minnesota
as a delegate and appeared on a
program with a group of' profes
sional musicians.
Miss Brockman has been study
ing with Rex Underwood, professor
of violin and director of the Uni
versity orchestra, for the last four
years and has appeared several
times with the symphony.
She has a number of students
working under her instruction.
Next Sunday Miss Brockman
will appear on the program of the
University Symphony, scheduled to
begin at 3 o’clock in the igloo. She
will play the lengthy Concerto in
D major by Tschaikowsky.

Ten Assistants to
Deans of Women
Sought by School
Syracuse U. Will Give Grants to
Those Wishing Experience
As Advisers to Girls
Ten graduate assistantships for
advisers of girls and deans of wo
men, each equivalent to a grant of
from $600 to $800, are being of- i
fered by the graduate school of
Syracuse university, according to
a communication sent to Dean of
Women Hazel P. Schwering.
Each assistant will be placed in
charge of a small dormitory and
the practical aspects of class as
signments will be carried out in
connection with the personnel
work of the dormitory. The schol
arship is limited to those students
who are willing to give two years
to the program of study selected
by them and will' be awarded on
or before July 1, 1934.
The course is designed to pre
pare graduate students in educa
tion and teachers of experience to
do personnel work in high schools,
normal schools, colleges and uni
versities. It consists of lectures,
discussion, field work, and original
research.
Anyone interested in gaining an
assistantship may receive applica
tion forms and detailed informa
tion by sending a request for such
to Dr. Eugenie A. Leanard, dean
of women, Syracuse university,
Syracuse, New York.

Laurel and Hardy use their
usual boisterous comedy in a tale
depicting two gay boys who go to
a Chicago convention. They have
to fool their wives to do it, and
the latter half of the picture is
taken up with the retribution.
“Another Language" with Helen
Hayes and Robert Montgomery is
another picture which ranked pret
ty high among last year's pictures.
Helen Hayes is, of course, one of
the screen’s leading actresses and
Robert Montgomery one of the
most popular.
Story is said to be full of subtle
comedy. It depicts the trials and
tribulations of young married life.
“Avalanche,” which is on the
same bill, is another foreign con
tribution. Advance information
says it is much on the line of “S.
O. S. Iceberg” and is very excit
ing. These statements will pass
O.K. if the avalanche is as dramat

“Avalanche” was shown in Port

At a meeting of Alpha Delta

aers decided to publish a maga
line'commemorating the founding
>f the national advertising honor
iry's local chapter. The magazine
will contain a register of all act
ve, associate and alumnae mem

The organization on this cam
pus is known as the W. F. G.
rhacher chapter, in honor of its
adviser, who is one of the most
active members in the national
fraternity.
At a previous meeting; Ed Cross
resigned as chapter president be
cause of his duties on the

dected yesterday are Tom Clapp,
^resident; Grant Thuemmel, vice
president; and Bill Meissner, sec

including both poetry and prose.
Soon after this he decided tc
become a minister, and in 1894
finished his student’s course at
the Methodist Theological schooi
in Uppsala and went to Ostersund
where he wrote hi3 first novel.
When he was 24 he came to Amer
ca. He has been serving the
Methodist church at Oakland foi
22 years.
A recent survey of libraries and
aook-sellers in Sweden has shown
-hat he is Sweden’s most widely
read author. His work, including
oo tli novels and poetry has
wrought him many literary prizes
ind much recognition. He has a
jold medal for poetry given him
by a Swedish society, an honor di
ploma from the Swedish Theologi
cal Seminary in Illinois, and in
1917 was granted a stipend fo!
studying in Sweden from the
American Scandinavian Founda
tion. In 1919 he was named t.heo
ogical doctor by Nebraska -Wes
eyan university, and he is also an
officer of the Swedish Historical
society, chairman of the Nebras
ka Authors’ society, editor of the
Swedish Methodist church paper in
America, and is active in church
iffairs.
In 1918 he journeyed to Sweden,
where he traveled extensively, tell
ing the people there about the
Swedish people in America.
Ho is so highly honored by the
oeople in his pastorate, that on his
sixtieth birthday, besides many
’lowers and presents, he was given
in automobile, with the caution,
‘Don’t be careful of this. When
his one is worn out, we will come
vith another one.”
Dr. Stromber usually writes at

Oregon Extension Division
Gives Start to Radio Author
The extension division of the
University of Oregon has the dis
j tinction of playing what is per
I haps the dominating role in shap
j ing the career of Helen Norris,
i pioneer radio author.
Miss Norris was the author of
the first radio play ever produced.
At the age of eight she was al
most completely physically dis
abled through an attack of infan
jtile paralysis. In the last three
, years she has written 45 radio
plays, all of which have been
| dramatized over the NBC net
1 work.
The Extension Star quotes from
a recent interview, “I have always
! had a great desire to write, but it
was through the Extension Divi- \
sion of the University of Oregon
that my desire was made a possi
bility. Through the interesting
contacts made with University
\ readers, two of whom are Mrs,
Eric W. Allen and Mrs. Grace
Mann, and because of the inspira
I tion and guidance received from
| them, I began to write.”
Miss Norris lives on a 40-acre
fruit ranch near Medford; it is
here that she writes her radio
plays. She has never let her phys
ical handicap hold her back intel
lectually.
About five years ago when
Wilda Wilson Church, San Fran
cisco’s pioneer director of radio
plays, one evening, asked listeners
to submit plays written exclu
u
sively for radio. Miss Norris sub
mitted her first play, “Just Plan
nin',” within a week and it was
soon presented over KGO.
Quoting again from the Exten
sion Star, “Perhaps it is her abil
ity to find humor in its tragedies
and incongruities, that makes
Miss Norris so charming and en
thusiastic. and much like Eliza
beth Browning’s time. Like the
Elizabeth Barrett of Wimpole
street, Miss Norris too is fond of
dogs. Hers is Peter, and perhaps
not quite so intelligent and vain
as the Barrett ‘Flush,’ but just
as faithful and nice.’’
Miss Norris came to Oregon at
the age of 11. She had been crip
pled since she was 8. She has
done no writing during the past
year but has recently begun a
play for NBC.
