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.

COLONIAL — “Catherine the

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.

Department
i To Offer New
Food Course
i .
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.

claimed:
“It’s turning red, a brilliant

man discovering a strange phe

“You’re seeing stars,” replied
another as he withdrew his cig

A disappointed “aw” was the
only retort.
A few yards away another group
was using a much smaller hand

“I've got it!” came an excited

“What?” was the impatient an

EXHIBIT OF PICTURES
HAS BASIS EXPLAINED
(Continued from Parje One)
j this age came Cezanne, beginning
the post-impressionist stage, and
sought for permanent ideas behind
the form of the picture.
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.. U. W., will
be open to students and townspeo
j pie every afternoon until April 25.
A 10 cents admission charge is re
j quired. Members of the A. S. U. O.
are admitted free of charec.

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, <nor
how the Ginkgo tree came on this
campus.
