OSC Honorary
Groups Asked
To Show Value
Charters of Fraternities
May Fie Revoked
State College President
Says Dues Charged
Are Too High
OREGON STATE COLLEGE,
Corvallis, Oct. 27. Charters of
the honorary fraternities on the
Oregon state college campus will
be revoked, unless these organiza
tions effect economies to students
and prove their worth by activity.
President George W. Peavy first
made this threat a month ago at
semi-weekly convocation.
Next Wednesday night at a for
mal banquet to which all members
of the 30 honoraries have been in
vited, President Peavy will pre
sent his objections formally.
Among his chief objections, Presi
dent Peavy states that in national
administration, fee reductions are
sadly lacking to meet current cam
pus conditions, and that in recent
years as well as at present these
organizations have failed to fulfill
their intended purposes.
Last year, Talons, a sophomore
woman’s service group voluntarily
gave up its charter to the national
honorary, Spurs, with which it was
associated. It gave excessive fees
as its main reason for withdrawal.
The banquet to be given Wed
nesday evening is sponsored by
Blue Key, senior men's honorary.
Russell Tegnells and Clarence
Richen are in charge of the event.
The purpose of the banquet will
be to stimulate activity in frater
nities toward obtaining needed
changes from their respective
national headquarters.
Other speakers at the affair will
be F. O. McMillan, research pro
fessor of electrical engineering
and president of the local chapter
of Pi Kappa Phi, national all
school scholastic organization;
Ralph Bodcn, junior in education,
and member of Delta Sigma Rho,
national forensics honorary, and
Betty Steel, president of Associat
ed Women Students, and member
I of Mortar Board, senior women’s
honorary.
FERA Provides Money
To Compile Hook List
With some of the money allotted
by the FERA and CWA funds the
University of Oregon has had ex
tra student help compile a list of
duplicate books, magazines, docu
ments, and pamphlets that are in
this library.
This list is sent to 200 various
librarians who choose from it the
books or periodicals they want
shipped to them.
Since March 30, 1934, the Uni
versity library has received 4723
| unbound volumes and pamphlets,
valued at the original cost per
number at $1248.54. They have
also received 320 bound volumes
estimated at $460.
With this exchange method, li
braries ate enabled to enlarge
their collections at very little cost.
Portland Will Play Host
To Library Convention
On Saturday, October 27, Li
brarian M. H. Douglas attended
the executive meeting of the Pa
cific northwestern library associa
tion held in Seattle.
At this meeting the date was
set for the annual convention to
be held this year in Portland, on
the Thursday, Friday, and Satur
day preceding Labor day. Also

discussed.
Miss Margaret Clay, librarian of
the public library in Victoria, B.
C., and president of the P. N. L
A . presided over the meeting. Mr.
Douglass of this campus is the sec
retary of the organization.
Dispensary kept Busy
Curing for Students
The infirmary and dispensary

partially done by old man sickness.
Students file into the dispensary
seeking medical attention, want

although hardly a day passes with
out the admittance of a new pa

Franck’s D Minor
Opus Is Featured
By Musical (7roup
Hoogstraten’s Symphonic
Orchestra Chooses
Recent Favorite
PORTLAND. Oct. 29- (Special l
—Cesar Franck’s D Minor sym- ;
phony, the musical masterpiece
which last spring was revealed as
an outstanding favorite among
Portland music-lovers, will be the
principal work on the Portland
Symphony's orchestra's opening
program, to be given in the public
auditorium Monday night, Novem
ber 5. The Franck opus is being
used fittingly to usher in a season
which will celebrate Willem van
Hoogstraten’s tenth year as lead
er of the orchestra and which will
at the same time set the tempo for
a cycle of programs which, it is
believed, will excel anything Port
land has experienced previously.
Mr. van Hoogstraten has taken
particular pains to make the open
ing program a particularly attrac
tive one. Coupled with the Franck
symphony will be the D Minor
suite of Ernst von Dohnanyi, the
eminent Hungarian contemporary
a work which is said to be dis
tinguished by some amazing or
chestral effects and which at the
same time retains the pleasant me
lodic patterns at one time em
ployed so freely by such masters
as Schubert. The overture to Web
er’s “Der Freischuetz" will com
plete the program.
Season tickets for both series of
symphony concerts 8 Monday
night and 6 Sunday afternoon
events are now being delivered at
the box office in the J. K. Gill
store. They will be on sale daily
until after the season actually
opens. The first Sunday concert
is billed for November 11, when a
special Armistice day program will
be given.

sion of the population which Mus
solini hopes to build up by his
bonuses and like encouraging
measures. England has likewise
long had her eye on Italian friend
ship, and no doubt hopes to main
tain her control of the balance of
power in Europe.
French Will Likewise Cede
From Rome, however, comes the
announcement that France, too,
will cede that region of Tibesti,
bordering the Anglo-Egyption ac
quisition on the Sahara side, to
Italy. Just what bearing this
change of hands in this little
known and comparatively unimpor
tant district may have upon the
rather uneasy position of Fran
co-Italian relations is a question
that may well be looked into.
Mussolini to the North
If Italy plans merely to expand
along the Lybian coast, however,
contemporary opinion will be way
off the track. Toward the north
and east, Austria and the Balkans,
Italy's greatest interests lie, and
it is there that the symptoms of
significant moves and realign
ments must be looked for.

Theater Revue
MCDONALD — “Barretts of
Wimpole Street” with Norma
Shearer, Frederic March, and
Charles Laughton.
COLONIAL “Catherine the
Great” with Elizabeth Berg
ner and Douglas Fairbanks
Jr.
By R. KNUDSEN
rj'HE only way one can really ap
preciate “Barretts of Wimpole
Street” is to actually see it. It is
impossible to describe it adequate
ly without using a good many
meaningless superlatives. There is
a character and richness about the
entire production that fairly takes
one’s breath away. It would take
an extremely skeptical and hard
heart not to be moved by this piece
of photoplay.
An interesting criticism made by
the National Board of Review is
as follows:
“A beautifully photographed and
faithful adaptation of the play
about the romance of Elizabeth
Barrett and Robert Browning.
Fredric March is hardly a perfect
Browning but otherwise the whole
production is definitely superior.
Nothing objectionable for the fam
ily but its interest is for mature
minds. Recommended to Commit
tee on Exceptional Photoplays.
Worth being kept permanently j
available.”
Catherine the Great
Running for the last times to
night at the Colonial theater is a
United Artists production. "Cath
erine the Great.” Doughlas Fair
banks Jr. takes the part of the
suspicious and impetuous young
Grand Duke Peter, heir to the
throne of Russia, while Elizabeth
Bergner plays Catherine, his wife.
The show as a whole is a some
what weak imitation of the vivid
and successful type of picture rep
resented in "Queen Christina" and
the “Scarlet Empress.” For the
central theme of the plot which
dwells upon the character and
emotional turmoils of Peter and
Catherine, the action really moves
entirely too fast. Although enter
taining, the show leaves one with
the impression that more could
have been made out of it if the
time and effort had been taken.
Perhaps the fact that Elizabeth
Bergner is not a Garbo or a Diet
rich has something to do with it.
“The Big Bad Wolf,” sequel to
the “Three Little Pigs,” another
Walt Disney color cartoon feature
is also being shown with the main
feature. Both of these short sub
jects have excited as much com
ment and attention as many of the
regular features during the past
year.

Emerald
of the Air
By GEORGE Y. BIKMAN
T'VOOFLUMDUNGS: This Fri
clay we inaugurate the first
of what we hope will be a series
of half hour broadcasts. Emerald
of-the-Air programs to date have
been fifteen minutes. Over-supply
of talent is the reason ... A
special Dad's Day broadcast is on
the fire. Watch for a very special
announcement soon . . . Student
talent for the daily broadcast over
KORE is still being sought. Our
office hours are five to six at the
Shack daily. Absolutely anything
in entertainment that’s reasonable
is given an ear . . . There is great
demand for original compositions
—musical, or in the literary line.
If you have a poem, play or song
and you’re not bashful, bring it in
to us. Perhaps we can adapt it for
you.
Today our star of the blues—
Lou Parry—takes the air. Lou’s
spectacles have been repaired, so
we can expect her to sing the right
words, in case she has to read
them. Buck McGowan, coming to
be more and more in demand for
campus entertainments, is to do
the accompanying. And he’ll get
the spot a time or two on his own.
Our .thanks and an orchid to
Ned Gee, who sang, and to Chuck
French, who played on yesterday's
quarter hour. They’ll be heard
from again.
May we sugest that visitors at
the downtown studio of KORE are
welcome while we broadcast. The
location is above the Metropolitan
store on Willamette. Time, 4:45.

Beall Contributes
Researeli Volume
On French ^ ork
Book Shows Tasso’s Effect
Oil Norman \N citing:
Just Published
A volume entitled “Chateaubri- ,
and Le Tasso,” regarded as an ;
important contribution in the field
of research on F'rench literature,
recently written by Dr. Chandler
B. Beall, associate professor of
Romance languages here, has just
been published by the Johns Hop
kins university press.
The book is a study of the in
fluence of Tasso on French writ
ters, and deals specifically with
the influence this sixteenth cen
tury poet had on Chateaubriand.
It is of special interest to those in
terested in French literature, since
it gives a new insight into the
quarrel between the “ancients”
and the “moderns” especially in
the field of poetry.
Dr. Beall came to the university
in 1929, after a varied teaching ca
reer which included membership
on the faculties of the University
of Southern California, Johns Hop
kins, Amherst, and George Wash
ington university. He graduated
from Johns Hopkins in 1922, and
was granted his doctor of philoso
phy degree in 1930. He also re
ceived a1 diploma from the Sor
bonne in Paris in 1925.
Much of Dr. Beall's research in
French literature has been done
in France. He lived and traveled
in Europe in 1920-21, 1923 and
1924-25. He has published a num
ber of papers in Modern Language
Journal and other publications. An
article along the lines of his book,
giving his views on the influence of
Tasso on Balzac, was published in
j Modern Language Notes in the
i May, 1S34, issue.
