A total of 717 university and col lege students throughout the state will be enabled to earn from $10 to $20 a month while going to i school, according to an announce ’ ment made yesterday in Portland by Elmer Goudy, Oregon CWA ad ministrator. The number of positions will be allocated to the universities and colleges of the state on the basis of enrollment of full-time resident students on the respective cam puses as of October 15, 1933. Jobs will be given to 10 per cent of the students at each institution. • Applications Sent Officials of the University sent in 196 applications for jobs to the Portland office, headquarters of CWA work in the state, which in turn has forwarded these applica tions and those of the other higher schools in the state to Washing ton, D. C., reports Dr. W. J. Kerr, chancellor of the state system of higher education. Should all of the University’s re lief quota of 196 be granted, ap proximately 45 per cent of these positions would be saved for stu dents entering at that time, leav ing 150 open at the present time. This stipulation is in accordance k. with the demand of Harry L. Hop kins, federal relief administrator that 25 per cent of the money must be held until the beginning of spring term. Plans in Abeyance At a late hour last night, Earl M. Pallett, registrar of the Univer sity notified the Emerald that ad ministrative officers here had not been officially notified of the grant of CWA jobs and were withholding (Continued on Page Four) Villard Dinner Tickets Selling Rapidly; Event Set for Monday Night Tickets for the Oswald Gar rison Villard dinner to take place Monday evening in the John Straub Memorial building ^ are selling rapidly, according to Tom Clapp, who is in charge of the ticket sale.

Species of White Deer Mice Rare Find of Zoologist Dr. Huestis Traps Rodent While Aiding Bacteriologist With Experiment A white deer mouse, “Albino Peromyscus,” a rare species in the United States, was trapped by Dr. R. R. Huestis, of the zoology department, in the brush back of Mammy’s Cabin last week. Only two other mice of this ' species have been reported in genetic lit erature in the United States. Dr. Huestis was trapping deer mice for Dr. A. Packehanian, a bacterialogist at Washington Uni versity medical school, who is ex perimenting with “Peromyscus” for different kinds of parasites, when he captured the “albino.” It was the first he had ever heard of caught in this part of the coun try. W. E. Castle, professor of genet ics at Harvard, owned an albino deer mouse, an eastern species, “leucopus,” which was sterile, and he lost the strain. The other albino deer mouse that was recorded belonged to F B. Sumner, professor of zoology at the University of California. It was of cage-bred stock, the muta tion occurring recessively in the grandparents, and showing domi nantly in the third generation. “Albino Peromyscus” is com parable to white mice and rats. However, it has the beady eyes and pointed ears characteristic of the deer mice. White mice and rats, “Albino Mus," which are so common in the United States for (Continued on Page Three) Want to Quit Smoking?Dean Gilbert Might Tell You How If all the cirgarettes smoked on Thirteenth street curb were at the disposal of Dean James H. Gilbert of the college of social science, he wouldn’t touch them, unless to throw them away. Despite this fact, as regularly as commence ment time comes each year, Dean Gilbert receives in his mail a fancy and portly envelope enclosing awe inspiring circulars and letter which begins: “Dear Mr. Gilbert: Do you really want to break yourself of the tobacco habit?” and then pro ceeds to tell the non-smoking dean how, by saving the eight cents per day he now spends on cigarettes, he can pay for this wonderful plus-ultra, elite, guaranteed to bacco-cure treatment out of the money thus saved. Some practical joker of years ago started the endless chain, Gil bert believes, and though he has never succumbed to the seductive sales appeal of the circulars he still receives one each year. “Are you willing to make an honest effort to overcome the grip it has upon you?” is the straight from-the-shoulder question fired at the dean annually. “Now if you are sincere in your desire to quit tobacco forever we want to help you ... we will help you . . . we will go the limit to see that you are successful because we know the benefits you will enjoy in health, happiness and wealth once you are free from tobacco.” Truth be said, the would-be ben efactors of Dean Gilbert are grad ually taking offense at his disre gard for the new opportunities they offer him for the paltry sum of $10, $4 down and $6 to go. They are puzzled at his sales-resistance throughout the years. “Not one chance in 100” is the dire warning of the red-tinted cir cular to the non-smoking dean. “Tobacco killed him two days af ter he was in my office," is anoth er touching tragedy portrayed by the treatment sponsors. Now how, reasons the solicitous senders, how can any man persist in the nasty habit after such an array of facts has been so stun ningly presented ? Ah, if they only knew! If they only knew what Dean Gilbert knows, how much postage and fruitless worrying they could have saved! Brome 4 Abraham And Isaac’ to Be Staged Tuesday Miracle l*lay First Presented by Barbers’ • Guild, Later By Bookbinders The first melodrama in the Eng lish language was the Brome “Abraham and Isaac,” which is be ing presented next Tuesday in' Guild theater under the direction of Ellen Galey. The situation portrayed is in tensely dramatic and the charac ters of both father and son stand out distinctly. The trusting obe dience of Isaac is shown, as are the conflicting feelings of Abra ham, who is torn between love of his favorite son and obedience to God. A fitting climax is the blind folding of the son and his appeal to his father to do the act quickly. The Brome “Abraham and Isaac” is one of the Miracle plays, which are So-called because of their religious character.

Stafford Discovers Process IDEA IS ECONOMICAL Hoad of Chemistry Department Works on Carbonization For Several Years Patent claims for an improved process of making charcoal, be lieved to be the cheapest possible method of obtaining this product from wood waste, have been granted for an invention of O. F. Stafford, head of the chemistry department of the University. Word that the claims had all been allowed and that the patent is to be issued were just received from the government patent office in Washington, D. C. The improved process involves the feeding of a stream of chipped wood and sawdust into a rotating cylinder, where the material is dried and carbonized by heat pro duced principally 'as a result of the burning of the combustible carbonization products of the wood itself. By-Products Dsiregarded The method makes no attempt to recover any of the other by products Of wood waste, and was perfected chiefly because of ex pense involved in making charcoal as only one of the products. The improvement represented in this process over other similar ones consists in a device which permits the carbonizing material to be protected from furnace gases containing hot free oxygon, while at the same time permitting the combustible decomposition products of carbonization to burn and thereby supply the heat neces sary for the drying operation, Professor Stafford explains. Work Begun Long Ago Professor Stafford began work upon an improved method of uti lizing wood wastes by carboniza tion about 20 years ago at the (Continued on Page Two) Necessity Leads To Explanation o f Din at Art School Lest some unknowing and un suspecting individual think that the architects of the art school were building a house in the art building, judging from the commo tion that goes on over there on certain afternoons, this little story is printed to explain what causes the racket and hammering. It seems that Miss Maude I. Kern’s class in design finds it nec essary in the process of block printing to hammer their work with mallets, or something like that, and it is this harmless occu pation that causes such a terrific din. The class is considerate, for all that they can not help but be rath er noisy. On close inspection one finds that, in order not to disturb the other classes with the vibra tions from their hammering, they have contrived a peculiar apparat us for their work; they have put their tables on tire cases which have boards on top, and find that this clever little contraption does the trick.

Models will be Elizabeth Bend strup, Charlotte Eldridge, Betty Graham, Cynthia Liljeqvist, Nancy Jeffries, Elise Reed, Marion Bass, Jean Stevenson, Ruth Byerly, Mar garet DeYoung, Irene Conkling, Dorothy Anne Clark, Virginia Shultz, Margaret Ann Howland, and Peggy Reynolds. These girls were selected by a group of judges after their names had been cast in the ballot box at the College Side. Final selections were made by Jim Emmett, Dick Near, Neal Bush, Ed Schweiker, Tom Clapp, Nancy Suomela, Dor othy Cunningham, and Peggy Chessman. The mannequins were chosen on a basis of poise, grace, ability to model, a charming personality that will advertise the clothing and the styles, and willingness to work. They will start to practice for the spring style show soon. Ida Mae Nichols, Nancy Suomela, and Charlotte Eldridge will train the girls in the arts of modeling. Cam pus clothes, dressy sport frocks, afternoon dresses, dinner gowns, informal costumes, and formal wear will be displayed at the dance. The Gamma Alpha Chi fashion dance is the first dance of each year to which the women invite the men. Admission this year will be 99 cents. Campus Clothes to Be Worn At Dance Tomorrow Night Just what is the classification of the A.W.S. Masked Ball, sched uled for tomorrow night in Gerlin ger hall, seems uncertain. “It’s going to be a victory dance,” stated one member of the committee yesterday. “Yeah, but what if Oregon State wins?” “Well, then it’ll be a victory for them. But it'll still be a victory dance.” All of which doesn’t seem to get anywhere. However, the facts of the dance are that it will begin at 9 tomorrow night, with Art Holman's orchestra. Jack Hammond, the “Puddin’ Head Jones” of the recent Krazy Kopy Krawl, will feature in a tap dance. Both Ned Simpson and Louisa Perry will sing. As for clothes, Virginia Hartje, general chairman, stated that ev erything from formats to bathing suits would be in order, since "It is very informal.” However, on second thought, she added that “Perhaps sport clothes would be the best. Everyone should just come as he is after the basketball game.” The only requirement seems to be that everyone must wear masks. "I guess maybe that’s the reason why the dance is to be very in formal, since with masks on no body is supposed to recognize any body else anyway,” suggested one of the committee. Tickets for the Masked Ball are 50 cents a couple, and masks are five cents each. Tickets and masks are on sale in the living organiza tions now, and may also be pur chased at the dance. Junior Shine Day Owes Success to Local Shoe Shops II, Peterson Wins Merchandise Order; $20 Collected To Date The success of Junior Shine day, according to Fred Fisher and Jack Mulder, is due largely to the Cam pus shoe shop and Treetop’s syn copated shine shop, from which the equipment came. The McMorran and Washburne merchandise order was won by Harold Peterson. At a late hour last night $20 had been collected from the day’s work, and much remained to be gathered. A pair of white shoes which were brought in emerged half white and half black with a tinge of orange thrown in. A pair of boots took the novices half an hour to clean. They took less time on the second paid. And the day’s highlight came when Ned Simpson shined Cynthia Liljeqvist’s shoes. Dr. Morris to Present Speech at Anchorage The economic effects of a war with Japan will be the topic of an address to be presented by Dr. Vic tor P.

(Continued on Page Three) \ Students Ratify Six Changes Proposed By Revision Group Remaining 31 Proposals Fail to Receive Required Majority; Ballots •t Number 591 Six amendments, those proposed by th« constitution committee, were ratified yesterday by students and will be included in the general revision of the A. S. U. O. constitution this spring. The remaining proposals, which were voted upon at yesterday’s special election, failed to receive the required majority for passage. Ballots cast during the hours Ihe polls at the Y. M. C. A. hut were open numbered 591, making the election valid in every respect. In short, the new amendments have the following significance: 1. Class and student body elections will be nela jointly, and on the same day. (The elections this spring will be governed by this pro vision.) 2. Any student wishing to change his class identity, for the pur poses of voting for class elections, may do so by petitioning the student relations committee. 3.

He need only have completed four terms before the election. 6. Amendments to the constitu tion and by-laws can only be pro posed when signed by at least 100 members of the student body. Of these half dozen successful proposals, that concerning the re vised status of the candidate for Junior man received the most votes. Only 2S ballots were cast against this proposal, while 552 Students voiced their approval of the change. The other five amend ments presented by the revision committee received approximately the same majority of votes. The proposal to alter the required quorum for student body meetings received the largest number of negative votes of this group, 48 students declaring their opposi tion. Plurality Received Only one of the defeated amend ments received a plurality of af firmative votes.

Paris Dream Mecca, Biggest Lure for Students of Oregon By HOWARD KESSLER While 50,000,000 Frenchmen might be wrong, it would be folly to contend that 180 University of Oregon students could be mistak en, and that is the number who expressed themselves in a survey ! conducted on the campus regard j ing the city or location in all the wide world they would prefer to visit if one choice were offered. Despite riots and the refusal of la belle France to pay up or shut up, 47 patriotic Americans emphat ically selected Paris as the object of their most fervent longings, the mecca of their dreams, and the second place city was too far be hind to come within sighting dis tance of the Eiffel tower. Hawaii, jewel of the South seas, beckoned to eight travelers, while Berlin held appeal for seven stu dents. After Venice with six votes, the field became rather congested with Vienna, Rome, New York, et al coming in for honorable men tions. Some of the replies were really ducky. There was, for instance. the winsome lass who burst ebul liantly forth with effervescent sincerity: "Oh goodness I want to go to Africa! What part? Oh, I don’t know. Wherever Tarzan lives. Don't you think he’s darling? lie simply devastates me!’’ Other quaint samples include such facetious remarks as: "Flit me down for the Majorcan islands. I hear they sell beer for 15 cents a case.” "Rio de Janeiro every time. Yeah, 1 saw ’Flying Down to Rio.’ What of it ? “I should like to visit Geneva. Yes, I’m funny that way. As a child I always liked to go with iriy mother to ladies' aid meetings. "Hollywood for me. What fort Why, “the culture, of course.” Henriette Horak, the lofty sen timentalist of the Emerald staff, expressed herself with true classic simplicity, intriguing volubility, genuine sensibility, and stuff.
