Speed of Thought Disclosed
By New Iowa Motion Picture
By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE
Associated Press Science Editor
IOWA CITY, Nov. 8— (AP) —
The speed of thought is shown by
a new motion picture machine at
the University of Iowa psycholog
ical laboratory, described tonight
in “Science” by Joseph Tiffin.
Ideas evidently take a fair frac
tion of a second to form in the
mind. This time is shown by a
talkie film which pegs the time
when the eyes see an idea on a
printed page and the delay until
the voice sounds in reading that
idea aloud.
The film records more than
merely the time when an idea
starts for the mind and when it
reissues as sound. It shows the
eyes stopping on each idea. They
come to a complete stop for each
word or group of words they look
at.
The camera shows them clear
ly moving ahead in a series of
quick jerks. They keep from one
to three of these intervals ahead
of what the voice is saying. The
delays between the ideas, the stop
to look at and the same words
spoken by the reading voice is a
full second.
Part of this delay is mechanical
—the time it takes the eyes to
“see" and the nerves and muscles
to translate the mind’s orders into
vocal sounds.
But science has evidence that
the “seeing” time, that is the time
for transmission of an idea from
eye to mind, is exceedingly fast.
Dr. Robert B. W. Hutt, of Trinity
college, and others, have shown
that the brain can grasp a single
number in about a thousandth part
of a second.

Noted Economist
Foresees Changes
lit Transportation
Pool Business of Trucks,
Railways, Waterways,
Suggests Aitchison
A sweeping change in transpor
tation operation in the United
States, which would involve pool
ing the business of railways,
trucks, and waterways, was sug
gested here Wednesday night as a
possible solution for the railroads’
difficulties by Clyde B. Aitchison,
member of the interstate com
merce commission, Mr. Aitchison,
an alumnus of the University and
now for many years a member of
the commission, addressed a large
gathering of students, faculty and
townspeople on “The Evolution of
Transportation Economics.”
Although it would present many
more complications, the pooling
plan for this country might be sim
ilar to that adopted in England,
Mr. Aitchison pointed out. The
plan there pools all revenue and in
effecl Lhe stronger factors in the
transportation system carry the
weak, and thus make it possible
for all to survive.
Rail lines, due to competition of
highways and waterways are ad
mittedly in a “bad way” in this
country at present, the commis
sioner pointed out. He also traced
the growth and development of
rail lines. At first they were en
couraged, then followed a period of
“oppression” for them, and then
sensible regulation when the in
terstate commerce commission was
established and given powers, he
stated.
Mr. Aitchison is on his way from
Portland to California. In Portland
he held rate hearings and will re
port his findings to the commission
in Washington. He recently spent
some time studying the railroad
situation in England, and is re
garded as an international author
ity on transportation.
Alpha Kappa Psi Hears
Talk on Relationships
Karl F. Thunemann, advertising
manager for McMorran and Wash
burne was the guest speaker at
the Alpha Kappa Psi meeting
Tuesday.
The subject upon which Mr.
Thunemann spoke was "Relation
ship Between Employer and Em
ployee.” He emphasized the im
portance of the employee’s abso
lute confidence in the employer.
According to Mr. Thunemann, the
one sure way of gaining such con
fidence is to keep the employees
informed as much as possible of
the policies, ideals, and aims of the
employer.
A sympathetic understanding of
the policies of the company makes
the employee more willing and
more interested in his work.
Onthank Has Article
Published in Sunset
“We Build a Wading Pool for
Little Webfoots” is an article writ
en by Karl W. Onthank, head of
the personnel department of the
University, and published in the
November issue of Sunset maga
zine.
In the article, Onthank told how
he made a canvas wading pool for
his children in place of the con
ventional concrete.
Farley Predicts
Complete Victory
For F. Roosevelt
Borah Says Repub 1 i c a n s
Must Become More
Liberal Minded
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8—(AP)
—The Republican party's lowly
estate became a battleground to
day while Janie A. Farley claimed
the 1936 presidential election for
Roosevelt.
Senator Borah of Idaho said in
Chicago the plight, of the G.O.P.
was one of getting liberal leader
ship or death.
In press conference at the post
office, Democratic Chairman Far
ley gleefully dismissed the opposi
tion party as “positively through’’
already. Tuesday’s sweep was read
by him as meaning a “practically
unamimous” victory two years
from now.
Other leading Democrats were
inclined to raise a warning hand,
however The danger of factional
strife in such overwhelming con
gressional majorities was recog
nized. In a day or so, it was indi
cated, admonitions for caution will
be issued.
From New York, meanwhile,
came the first news in a long while
about the American liberty league.
It has been obvious since its
formation that this organization,
supported by outstanding figures
in both parties, may become a pot
ent political factor. Now that, the
off-year election is over, it was
made clear that the league soon
will initiate its new deal examina
tion with a view of the next elec
tions. It is expected to make for
more disregarded of old party lines
than less, by the positions it will
take before congress this winter on
economic and social legislation.
Asked whether he expected a
new opposition party or party re
alignment, Farley said: “We’re sat
isfied with ours, we’ll let the others
decide that. The people are definit
ly through with the kind of leader
ship they have had from the Re
publican party, that’s why it is
through. There will be opposition
to Roosevelt in 1936 but it won't
amount to anything.’
MARKS SPEAKS
Willard Marks, chairman of the
state board of higher education
spoke at the 44th anniversary of
the Knights of Pythias in the Eu
gene lodge hah last night. Good
citizenship was stressed in the
talk.
New Oregon Varsity
■ Song
Hail, hail, oh Varsity!
Onward to victory!
Over the goallinemark,
We’re with you, every one,
LET’S GO THEN!
Drive for a touchdown, men,
We’ll win again
So shout the name
And sing the fame
Of Mighty Oregon.
(Lyric by Edie Vail and Jack
Campbell. Music by Buck Mc
Gowan. )
The rally committee requests
that each student clip the new
song from his copy of the Em
erald for use at the train depot
today at 12:20 during the send
off of the football team, and al
so at the tomorrow at the game.
Oregon Ducks
Seek Third Win
Over Beavers
Squad Entrains at Noon
Today for Portland
Team Morale Good
Two Ancient Rivals Placed
On Even Terms for
Annual Till
Rolling- out at noon today after
a gigantic rally sending them on
their way, the Webfoot football
squad will be heading for Port
land determined to return to Eu
gene with their third straight win
over the Oregon State Beavers.
Upon their arrival in Portland,
Callison and his men will not hold
a preliminary practice on Multno
mah field but go directly to their
quarters at the Waverly country
club.
Tomorrow the Lemon-Yellow and
the Staters will clash in perhaps
the bitterest battle yet staged be
tween the two ancient rivals. Cer
tainly the two elevens have neve*
been more evenly matched than
they will be when Beaver faces
Duck on Multnomah field at 2:00
p. m. Saturday.
Duck Morale Good
Webfoot team morale reached a
fine peak last night as Oregon's
‘‘Thunder and Lightning” ■— line
plunging Frank Michek and flashy,
zig-zagging Maury Van Vliet led
their team mates through their
paces with plenty of zest. The
Lemon-Yellow ball packing pair
should run wild Saturday if they
maintain the speed and power of
last night’s practice.
Parke Out of Game
With his instep tightly bound
with tape, Bob Parke turned out
in suit last night but seemed in no
condition to play any length of
time tomorrow.
Johnny Reischman is slated to
“carry on” at Parke’s regular right
I half post. Ralph “Cowboy” Ter
i jeson, holding down his familiar
position as blocking quarterback,
completes the quartet of Duck
backfield starters. Walt Back,
Dick Bishop, Pepper Pepelnjak,
and Speed Lopez are being held in
reserve and no doubt will be given
a chance to enter the game.
Sophomores to Start
Another change in the starting
line-up will be the appearance of
Ross Carter and Del Bjork at the
two guard posts. The sophomore
linemen, graduates of last year's
freshman team, seem definitely to
have displaced Roy Gagnon and
Andy Hurney. Alex Eagle and
Gardner Frye, however, are hold
ing their tackle berths from the
youngsters and will be playing in
the key line positions when the
starting whistle blows tomorrow.
Despite a rather serious injury,
Butch Morse will captain the team
from his place at left end. Com
petition for the other wing, how
ever, is much keener. Lamp Walk
er will probably start the game in
case Oregon kicks off, but may be
supplanted later by Stan Riordan
or the injured Budd Jones. Con
Fury, 192 pound lineman from
Sand Point, Idaho, has cinched the
first string center berth.

stage reatures mneu
The committee announced last

Broadway, including numbers by
the University band, orchestra
numbers, special vaudeville acts,
speeches, yells, dance and a prevue
of Pat O'Brien’s new comedy. “I
Sell Anything.”
The dance, featuring Eddie
Burke’s orchestra, will start at
9:10 and will continue until 11
o’clock.

given to students in the rooting
section at 1:30. Other students
having A.S.U.O. tickets may ob
tain their copies if they present
their cards in the rally section.
Students Demonstrate More
Interest in Drama Courses
EN wanted." This formerly
was the plea that was issued
whenever a play was going to be
produced by the University thea
ter. There was always an abun
dance of women to fill the roles,
but seldom a sufficient number of
boys.
During the past three or four
years, however, large numbers of
both men and women have been
enrolling in the course. Acting it
self is popular, but also the various
other courses connected with stage
production such as costuming, di
recting and stage settings, have
attracted numerous students.
According to Mrs. Ottillie Sey
bolt, dramatics instructor, students
customarily put their course to
one of four uses. The majority—
I women especially — teach some
phase of dramatics, or use it in
conjunction with an English in
structional course. Civic theaters
and Little theater community
groups attract others. While some
of the students never put their dra
mutic training to a professional
advantage, they do find it exceed
ingly helpful in later life for club
and church work. Last of all, a few
of the majors go into dramatics
professionally.
Various former University! of
Oregon students who have won
professional fame in the dramatic
field are Janet Young, who re
cently has had roles in some of the
most outstanding plays on Broad
way; Harvey Welsch, who is in his
second season at the famous little
Hedgerow theater near Philadel
phia; and Walden Boyle, the most
recent one to make a permanent
contact with the theater, who is
now the stage manager for the
Shubert Producing company in
Chicago. The field of radio enter
tainment has claimed several more,
while not a few have won recog
nition for outstanding work in
high schools and private institu
tions.
