Death of Hoss Is Grieved bv Friends Here Secretary of State Once Active Journalist Acquaintances Express Deepest Sorrow in Eassing of Oregon Statesman (Continued from Paye One) of the school from the first, and at many times came to Eugene to speak to classes and at one time negotiations were under way looking to his accepting a posi tion with the school. His loss will be deeply felt and long remem bered.” James D. Barnett, professor of political science: “We have lost one of our best officers of state.” Gilbert, Morse Speak Jkmes H. Gilbert, dean of the college of social science: “Hal Hoss was the finest type of younger statesman. He was greatly interested in human be ings and approached all problems j with a calm and humorous atti- I tude. He never allowed himself to be swayed out of the line of absolute fairness.” Dean Wayne L. Morse of the law school: “Hal Hoss, as secre tary of state exemplified a ke'en appreciation of the responsibili ties which a public servant owes to the people of the state he serves. He was a man of unques tioned integrity and unafraid to stand for unpopular issues if he believed them to be right.” j ueain ureat ja>ss Karl W. Onthank, dean of per- : sonnel administration: “I knew Hal Hoss for nearly 20 years. His fine sincerity and consideration for others is rarely equalled. He was an able newspaperman and j public administrator. His un timely death is a great loss to Oregon and a personal bereave ment to a host of friends.” Earl M. Pallett, registrar: “Hoss was a very capable man. His death is a blow to state admin istration.” Philip A. Parsons, professor of sociology: “In the death of Hoss the state of Oregon lost a public servant in the finest sense of that word. He was a scholar and a j gentleman, a statesman rather j than a politician.” Hoss Interested in Students Arne G. Rae, assistant professor of journalism and manager of the Oregon State Editorial associa tion: “The’ death of Hal Hoss is a genuine loss to the faculty and students of Oregon’s University and college. As former regent of • the two institutions he was in tensely interested in state educa tion. Faculty and students were his friends; leaders of the Uni versity and college as w'ell as stu dents, felt free to swing his door; and be asked to ‘pull up a stool’ if they sought his counsel. Many a graduate and student of the University and college is indebted to him for the encouragement that he gave to them.” Carlton E. Spencer, professor of law: “Hoss had a -host of friends on the University of Oregon fac ulty. He was respected as an ef ficient state official. We also had a great confidence in bis integrity, sincerity of his purpose and devo tion to public interest. The state has sustained a real loss in his untimely death.” More Praise Given W. F. G. Thacher, professor of English and business administra tion: “Qualities I shall remember are his essential sincerity and his affectionate interest in young people. He would go out of his way to help any young person.” George Turnbull, professor of journalism: “I had known him for 15 years. There isn’t any mem ber of my circle of acquaintances I will miss more than Hal. He was the personification of friend liness, and probably loved as a brother by more people than any other in the state of Oregon.” MCRMMSALD 12:30 Continuous 11:30 600 Seats 15c • NOV/ TILL SAT. • | JOAN BLONEELL | ADOLPHE MENiOU DICK POWELL MARY ASIOR • PLUS • WARNER BAXTER l 10,000 Tons of Destruction Above are 10,000 tons of fighting- steel, the navy’s newest super cruiser San Francisco, which will be formally commissioned on Feb ruary 10 at Mare Island navy yard.

Mr. and Mrs. [Continued on Faye Four) New Quarters More Roomy For Seashore Office Outfitted as One Of CWA Projects Psychology Laboratory One of Best Designed Departments On Oregon Campus Visitors to Dr. Robert H. Sea shore, associate professor of psy chology, can now enter his office and turn around without moving one foot in order to find a place to put the other. He has a new office one door down the hail from his old one, which he himself re marked was so crowded that in order to get up from his desk he had to push his chair out. and to one side and squirm into a standing position, then push the chair back so as to have room to move. The new office was out fitted with bookcases and drawers as one of the C. W. A. projects. In speaking about the offices and laboratory rooms of the psy chology department, which are on the top floor of Condon hall, Dr. Seashore remarked: “This is one of the best designed and finest equipped psychology laboratories in the country, as well as one of the most adequately designed de partments on the campus. “Every room is wired for alter nating, direct, and timed electri cal currents, and has both com pressed air and gas, so that lab oratory apparatus can be set up in any room in the department. The floor has a special felt base, and the walls are specially built for sound-proofing. We have a completely equipped shop for building and repairing our own apparatus, except for metal work, which has to be done elsewhere.” The University of Oregon psy chology department, according to Doctor Seashore, is one of a very few in the country having indi vidual laboratory rooms for ele mentary students. Each of these looms has a cabinet with the supplies necessary for conducting Collection of Articles In Department of Lost And Found Increases The spring weather seems to have had a decided effect upon the collection of articles at the lost and found department. The collection was the small est it had been for several years, according to Allen Ty son, University postmaster, un til the warm sunny days came along and the meager supply began to increase. A watch, a small coin purse, gloves, scarfs, and a pair of glasses are wait ing to be claimed by the own ers. all the experiments to be held throughout the year. The building was designed by Dean Ellis F. Lawrence of the school of fine arts with sugges tions from Dr. Edmund S. Conk lin, head of the psychology de partment, and Professor Raymond Wheeler, who was here before Dr. Seashore, and is now head of the psychology department at the University of Kansas.

Clark, of the history department, is compiling an index of the second volume of the Pacific Historical Review, a quarterly publication of the Pa cific coast branch of the American Historical association.

COLONIAL — “Counsellor-at law,” John Barrymore, Be'oe Daniels, Isabel Jewell, Doris Kenyon. By J.A. NEWTON Isabel Jewell plays the part of a switchboard operator in “Coun sellor-at-law," John Barrymore’s show at the Colonial. Those who have seen her in more serious roles will be surprised at this gym chewing, fast-talking portrayal. Just a crazy gabby dame, that’s all she is. She puts it across. Barrymore never had a role which fit him better than does this one. Rapid action, dynamics, fast thinking and talk. All right up Barrymore’s alley. Barrymore dominates the pic ture with the Barrymore theatri cal manners and gestures. Bebe Daniels is busily present in the background as the lawyer’s secre tary who maintains a secret love for her employer. He, of course, never notices her unless he has some business to transact. All the time she realizes how the boy’s wife is two-timing him on the side but she keeps mum. Really good stuff. Moves very fast. OSC Professors Visit Here Dr. Albert E. Caswell and Dr. VV. P. Boynton, of the physics de partment at Oregon State college, were visitors at the University Monday. Dr. Boynton was for merly head of the physics depart ment here, and Dr. Caswell, a professor of physics. Social Science Classes Busy Students in Dr. Samuel H. Jame son’s class in backgrounds of so cial science are keeping the li brary reference department busy this week. Ethics of many differ ent industries and professions are being studied, making necessary use of library reference sources. Spencer, Morse Prove Waltzing Talent at Dance For the second consecutive year Carlton E. Spencer, professor of law, won the prize waltz at the law school dance, when last Fri day night, he was judged best waltzer, with Dean Wayne L. Morse running him a close second. In commenting upon his victory, Professor Spencer stated that ha owed his success to “having en tered the University of Oregon at a day when waltzing was in vogue.” The fox-trot at the law school dance was won by Bill Whitely and Thelma Kem, with John Casey and Betty Hudson as runners-up. Prizes for the dance were do nated by campus merchants. Pro fessor Spencer received an order for a shave - and - a - haircut at Charlie Elliott's barber shop, Mrs. Spencer received a box of station ery from the Co-op, Bill Whitely, an order for two dinners at the College Side, and Thelma Kem, five pounds of bath salts from the Oregon pharmacy. The main feature of the dance, aside from the prize contests, was Walter (John Jack) Hempstead’s rendition of “The Face on the Barroom n . . : . ’ According to a reliable eye-witness, this selection “was the high light of the eve ning, adding a classical touch to an otherwise common atmos phere.” Jewell in Portland Dean J. R. Jewell, of the school of education, left Eugene Monday ! night for Portland. He spent I Tuesday at Jefferson high school and will be at Lincoln high today, following out the education facul ty policy of visiting active high schools in the state.
