Article Tells Of Decrease In Enrollment Analysis by Constance in Magazine Assistant Registrar Puts Blame On Recent Reorganization, Unsettled Conditions Responsibility for the great de crease in enrollment at the Uni versity and Oregon State college within the past two years is placed to the “recent reorganization and unsettled conditions in the Oregon state system of higher education, with resultant difficulty in mak ing adequate high school contacts” in an article by Clifford L. Con stance, assistant registrar, printed in the School and Society maga zine of New York recently. Snowing that Oregon’s state supported institutions had suf fered an enrollment lapse of 27 percent from 1931 to 1933, where as the average decrease in 422 colleges examined was only eight percent for the same length of time, Constance questioned the reasons which give Oregon col leges the greatest decrease in the United States. Other conclusions arrived at by the writer are that specialized professional schools have lost most as a class, while the smaller arts and sciences colleges have suffered least, and that private controlled schools lose less than those admin istered by the state. By means of tables, Constance pictures the trend in the various states. Lou isiana has shown the greatest in crease in higher education enroll ment, with 10 percent, followed by five other states which have man aged to advance in figures from 1931 to 1933. An encouraging note is the dif ference between the business ac tivity decrease for the same years, of 31 percent, as contrasted with the drop in college enrollment from 580,679 to 533,062 in 422 colleges, or eight percent. Frosh Counsellors Will Be Signed Up For Coming Year Living Organizations to Be Visited To Find Girls Interested in Aiding New Students Members of the Frosh Counsellor personnel directorate will contact all women’s living organizations starting this noon, when they will sign up all girls interested in be coming Frosh Counsellors for next fall, and who plan on returning to the University, it was announced by Roberta Moody, chairman of the movement. Girls must sign up by Monday night. At this time those who seem best qualified for the posi tion will be selected from the com plete list. Independent women may sign up in the dean of wo men’s office. The Selected girls will be divided in to a number of groups, and will be placed under the instruction of one of the'members of the direc torate. This arrangement will fit the Frosh Counsellors to aid effec tively the new students in adjust ing themselves to various activi ties, and problems they encounter the first few weeks of school. Members of the directorate who will have charge of this movement are as follows: Virginia Younie, Reva Herns, Henriette Horak, Peggy Chessman, Gail McCredie, Elizabeth Bendstrup, and Ann Reed Burns. Girls who are unable to make contact through either of the previously mentioned systems may submit their names to any members of the directorate. All Frosh Counsellors should have genuine interest in the work, be capable of responsibility, have a C average, and a student body ticket. Girls who submit their names will be chosen on these re quirements. CH3M€ r^-NCD • 6uCCKt > JV-H * © t 0 N I A L HELD OVER! CATKCRinCl Tonight Only!

MCDONALD — “Jimmy the Gent,’’ James Cagney, Bette Davis, Alan Dinehart. Also, - “As the Earth Turns,” Jean Muir, David Landau, Dorothy Peterson. COLONIAL — “Catherine the Great,” Elizabeth Bergner, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. By J. A. NEWTON On History T’M told that “Catherine the Great” doesn't stick to historical facts as well as did “Henry VIII.” Catherine merely pretends, for the sake of making husband Peter jealous, that she’s had a flock of lovers. The real Catherine, I understand, omitted the pretense. Elizabeth Berner would be more exciting in the role if the pretense were omitted. Story tells of Catherine’s prob lem of handling her. husband, Grand Duke Peter, especially after , he takes the throne and becomes mad with eagerness to wield the power at hand. Not Seen Today the Mac puts on “Jimmy the Gent,’’ with the brother of Bill Cagney, who appeared in “Pa looka.” There's a striking resem blance between the two. This is a story about a lawyer who digs up unclaimed estates and produces a fake heir, taking a commission. Secretary Bette Davis goes to of fice of rival lawyer, Alan Dinehart because she thinks him more re spectable, but he’s another like Jimmy. Time says there are legal loop holes through which you could “toss volumes of Blackstone,” but that it’s good in its class. “As the Earth Turns," the other show at the Mac, Photoplay says is a story of “three families in rural Maine—their loves, envies, hates.” They call it “an exquisite combina tion of fine artistry and human emotions.” Coaches Allow Football Team Light Workout Dope Indicates Considerable Beef In Line for Next Fall's Competition Last night was lay-off night for the 50-odd gridiron warriors who have been perspiring through most of the practice thus far. A light workout, including signal drill, marked an ordinary and feature less practice. The apparent laxity of the coaches is attributed to the 1 looming tilt, which will probably be run off Friday. The game, to have been run off last week, was postponed because of injuries, and Callison is apparently trying to prevent more accidents. The individual stars of the prac tice remain as such, and no start ling developments have taken place in the turf-eating contingent. The line is coming along faster daily under the able tutelage of Gene Shields .Dutch Clark, and Co captain Butch Morse. The “seven horsemen’’ of next year, according to present indica tions, should be even more on the order of the St. Mary’s “boxcars" than last year’s eleven. The frosh offer Del Bjork, Pat Fury, and Morris Burchard, all over 200 pounds; and Joe Murray, Ray Vanderzanden, Bill Estes, and Freddy Hunt, all of whom ease past the 190-pound mark. With a little experience, the cen ter post candidates should not add too many more gray hairs to Cal lison’s youthful brow. Pop Hag erty and Ed Farrar are willing and appear able. Hagerty outweighs Farrar by a matter of 190 to 185, but the San Francisco lad was a mainstay of the frosh line. After the next practice game, more can be told about the rela tive merits of the gridiron perform ers. Several, who have been kept in the background during the last three weeks, may break out into newspaper space after an un auspici'ous beginning. Plii Tlieta Upsilon Selects Officers Valborg Anderson, junior in English, was unanimously elected president of Phi Theta Upsilon, upperclass women’s service hono rary ,at a meeting at 7:30 Tues day evening in the A.W.S. room. Miss Anderson has been active in women’s activities, having been president of Philomelete hobby groups during the last year. Other elected officers are Alma Lou Herman, vice-president, Mary Jane Jenkins, secretary, and Gladys Burns, treasurer. These officers will serve during 1934-35. Yesterday’s meeting was the first to be held with the new Phi Theta members, who were initiated Friday night, after having been pledged March 28. Only one of the new officers, Mary Jane Jen kins, is a new member. Plans were also made at the meeting for an informal dance, to be given May 18 for Phi Theta and Philomelete members. Alma Lou Herman is general chairman of the dance, assisted by Adele Sheehy, programs: Louise Barclay, orchestra and place; Ebba Wicks, patrons; Marie Saccamanno, deco rations; Gwen Caverhill, tickets; and Ann-Reed Burns, publicity.

Booklet Is Prepared by O.S.C. Professor Lessons to Discuss Label Reading;, Good Purchasing, Principles Of Budgeting — Lessons for a new home eco nomics course in food purchasing are being mimeographed by the correspondence department of the extension division. The course was prepared by Agnes M. Kalshorn, assistant professor of foods and nutrition at Oregon State college. Miss Mozelle Hair, of the exten sion division, said, “It seems to me that it would be a fine course for anybody.” It includes food stand ards, how to read labels, budget ing and purchasing of all types of food. , Examples to Be Shown Miss Hair said that an illustra tion of the contents of the course is in the label reading lesson. Ex amples are shown where the same company puts out the same food in several different packages, charging different prices in order to please all types of buyers. Food purchasing is one unit in a group of courses designed to aid the student in developing the abil ity to purchase, prepare and s£rve suitable food for the family \vith a reasonable expenditure of time, effort and money. It is a study of why certain foods are used and some of the earmarks of good pur chases. Other Courses Offered ‘‘The readings are excellent and I sincerely believe that the stu dent who goes through the course will think more than once before she will buy only for an attractive trademark,” Miss Hair said. Other courses offered in the home economics department are principles of dietetics, food pur chasing, child development, house hold management, clothing selec ! tion, and house furnishing. Office Equipment To Be Displayed latest model machines for mak ing office work easier will be demonstrated today before Dean H. V. Hoyt’s class in office organi zation and management by H. K. Ehrsem, manager of the Portland office of the Underwood Elliott Fisher company. i Probably the most interesting machines will be the Underwood Universal Accounting machine, which is of an entirely new con struction with the totalizers in front of the carriage, and the Un derwood Sunstrand Posting ma chine, also a very recent model of new design. Elliott Fisher back and front feed machines and the Underwood Sunstrand Statement machine will also be demonstrated. “Anyone who is at all interested may attend the demonstration,” stated Dean Hoyt.

Two landscapes, ”Biack Horse, I N. M.,” by Jozef Bakos, and “No ■ vember Landscape,” by Eric La ! Made, Portland artist, represent the influence of Cezanne. They both imply a serious approach to inner nature. "The whole modern movement is a change of attitude by the art | ist toward his art,” Miss Kerns concluded. "It seek.3 the essence j of things. We are painting subjec ! tive relationships, not objective. | Whether we will, in the future, | swing to inner realities or to the | outside world, is not yet known.” The display of paintings, spon ' sored by the local A- A..

Two Campus Ginkgo Trees Are of rLiving Fossil9 Group The “living fossil" is the name given by scientists to the Ginkgo tree, because it has lived more than ten millions of years practi cally unchanged. It is perhaps the oldest living tree. Two members of this prehistoric family may be seen on the Univer sity campus, one at the northwest corner of Villard hall, the other west of “hello lane" close to the main library. It is commonly re ferred to as the maidenhair t ree. The Ginkgo which is of oriental origin, grown since ancient times, lives in groves about the temples of China. So long has this family defied nature and her changing ways, that it is now regarded as a sacred tree by the natives of that country. Geologic evidence proves the Ginkgo lived as far back as the Permian period. During the Ju rassic period it was especially com mon on the Pacific coast, being most prominent in what is now Oregon. If one wishes to assure himself that this tree existed in his state in early times, all he has to do on his next visit to the Col umbia gorge, when he approaches Tanner creek on the highway from the west, is to observe a simple marker, that of a Ginkgo tree, its leaves will be touching the ancient mud between the hard basalt lay ers in which are sealed the death records in fossil of this prehistoric oriental family. The introduction of the Ginkgo into this country in recent times came with the turn of the century. It is noted for its picturesque ef fect. It is not uncommon in the eastern states, especially is it ex tensive in Washington. D. C. It lives in fertile soil, and in cool cli mates. Very few are found now on the Pacific coast. It can be recognized by its un usual characteristics being sparse ly branched, slender in form, green in color, with close clustered fan shaped leaves which are about one inch long and four inches wide. It resembles a maidenhair fern, from which it derives its familiarized name. Acidic fruit is borne by this tree which is offensive to the ol factory nerves, but it is appreciat ed and greatly sought after by those accustomed to it. One reason it has existed for so many years relatively unchanged is that it is not affected by insects. Authorities of campus horticul ture do not when, where,
