There are to be several featured soloists on the program, and one rather unique number will be pre sented by a trio composed of two oboes and a harp. A small cham ber group will present Mendels sohn’s “Spring Song," a number highly popular with music’s devo tees and lately further popularized through the medium of Walt Dis ney’s “Mickey Mouse" series.

Bizet Spring Song .Mendelssohn This concert is being presented under the auspices of the ASUO and all student body members will be admitted free. From all avail ! able information and judging by the reputation of the Eugene Jun ior symphony, the program should I be excellent.

There will also be an examination shortly for Federal Land Bank Appraiser. He feels confident that these graduates can easily qualify in the junior grade. “There is considerable agitation,” he wrote, “to put the new deal agencies under the civil service, and now that they are well staffed with Democrats I believe that most of the new agencies will come un der the civil service by a legisla tive act in this congress. That will mean that even more job3 will be open and many more examinations will have to be given.” Oregon Yeomen Set Up Date Bureau for Dance Who can’t get a date for the Oregon Yeoman informal dance at 5 o’clock, Saturday, January 26, in Gerlinger hall ?

Sweetser, professor emeritus of plant biology will ad dress the biological science class today on the “Alchemy of the Green Plant.” Turnbull Presents Results Of Research on Interviews Edit rr’s note:—The following is the first in a series of artieles presented by the Emerald de scribing the history of Inter viewing. The material Is Imsed on Information secured from ar ticles by George Turnbull, pro fessor of journalism at the Uni versity of Oregon. Research by George Turnbull, professor of journalism in the Uni versity of Oregon on another sub ject in old newspaper files for 1859, the year Oregon was admitted to statehood, brought to light an in terview which appears to establish Horace Greeley of the New York Tribune rather than James Gordon Bennett as the father of the inter j view in American journalism. October 15, 1859, the Weekly Oregonian, then nine years old and still in the editorial control of T. J. Dryer, its first editor, published on its second page an article head ed “Two Hours with Brigham Young," filling the sixth column and running over into the seventh. The "story” was dated out of Salt Lake City, Utah, July 13, and was .signed “H.G." The dates coincided with Horace Greeley’s trip to the west coast in that year; and this writer reached the rather obvious conclusion that the interview had been mailed to the Tribune by its famous editor and reprinted by the Oregonian when the Tribune had had time to reach Portland from New York. Mr. Turnbull, who several months ago copied the interview (Please turn to page 3) Dr. Berkowitz Urges Youth To'Flit About’ Use of Discrimination in Selection of Future Mate Advised Congeniality Named First Marriage Factor By Peggy Chessmai The evolution of love affairs as a laboratory process in which dis criminatory tastes in the later se lection of mates are developed was the keynote in the address given before University students last evening by Dr. Henry J. Berkowitz in the first of this year's lectures on the general topic of love and marriage. “The basic human theme of love begins,” Dr. Berkowitz said, “with the early mental choices of mem bers of the other sex. In the first years of school life there is a nat ural tendency to choose, to dis criminate among the other sex. At a later date the child experiences all the agonies, all the intensities and amplitudes of real emotion in adolescent love, one of the mo3t painful of youthful experiences. All this is but a building process. Later Love Selective Love in college, he said, is bas ically the same as previously ex perienced, although it is usually at this point that the experience takes on more serious aspects, with a contemplation of the future. The seletcive process becomes more in tense, especially among the women, who are slightly more mature and usually more foresighted on the subject of marriage. To college students Dr. Berko witz advised a rapid succession of love in preference to “keeping steady company." It is, in most “ases, he said, happier and henlth er, developing at the same time a taste in the desirable qualities of the opposite sex. Only through ex perience of that sort, he said, can an individual find out what char acteristics appeal to him. Unfortunate is the man or women, in the estimation of Dr. Berkowitz, who early chooses one person as a sweetheart to the ex clusion of all others. It narrows the individual and stunts the educa tional method of selecting a mate through the richness of previous experiences, wherein lies the reali zation of the qualities essential for compatibility. "Flit about from the ages of 18 to 20 odd,” he advised. “It is a more felicitious method of deter mining who is worthwhile.” Standards Detailed As standards of judgment in briefly outlining the qualities nec essary in a mate, Dr. Berkowitz suggested congeniality, health, similarity of background, relative proximity of ages and good moral character. Detailed under congeniality were similarity of tastes and measure ments for good company after the period of early romance had passed in marriage. Health included both physical and mental stability, prime essentials for the maintain ence of happiness. Under similiar ity of background were grouped sameness of race and religion. “By all means,” the speaker said, “ do not have to foreswear parents for love. Therein lies unhappiness. Un less arrangements can be made to unite the parents and the future mate, the marriage is beginning with a great disadvantage.” (Please turn to pac/c 3) I 1 i Sigma Delta Chi Puts Admission Ducats for Press Banquet on Sale Tickets for the annual ban quet of the Oregon conference are for sale on the campus by members of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism honor ary.
