Martin when it passed two of his major proposals and completed action on another which paves the way for the governor j now to name his advisory planning commission. The lower house of the assembly, after lengthy debate, gave approv al of the much disputed measure which would place all game fees and funds of other boards an‘d commissions in the general fund of the state and requiring legislative appropriations for the operations.

Dr. Parsons Says Religion Is Arts Basis Speaker Traces Origin Of Spiritual Thought To Early Times Second of Lecture Series Is February 7 By Signe Rasmussen Religion grows out of a man’s attempt to adjust himself to his environment and to understand the supernatural or spiritual world which he apprehands but never comprehends. It forms the very basis for culture and is so inter twined with it that the two are inseparable. All of the fine arts, with the possible exception of story telling, originated, developed in, and have never been severed from religion. These were the important points brought out by Dr. P. A. Parsons, professor of sociology, in his ad dress last night in Villard hall. He spoke on “The Relation of Religion to the Origin and Development of Culture.’’ Traces Religion Origin Going back to the very earliest origin of civilization.

Beck Tells Effect Of Drugs in Talk Telling of the influence of hash ish and peyote, commonly known as mescal, Lester F. Beck, assist ant professor of psychology, ad dressed a group in Omega hall last night. To a person under the influence of these drugs, Beck said, all sen sitiveness is increased. The per ception of time is distorted so that the seconds seem like hours and time’s passage seems to be sus pended. The world surrounding the drugged person seems to have be come enlarged or magnified, and in looking at his foot he gains an impression much the same as when looking through an inverted telescope, as his foot seems a great distance away. His hearing is also very acute, every sound or voice having a beautiful musical tone. Things tend to become very brilliantly col ored to his eyes, and ordinarily tawdry objects assume a great deal of beauty for him. Muscular action is also very sensitive, as the impression is produced in the per son that he "Hows through the air with the greatest of ease" as he moves about. In addition these drugs also produce an anti-aphro disiac effect on the person who in dulges.

Dunn, head of the la tin department, over KOAC tonight at 8:15. Ur used to be known as the boy hood home of Abraham of the Bible, and was regarded as rather a mythical spot, but due to excava tions a few years ago, discoveries were made which identified it. An inscription containing the name of Belshazzar, the king who was sup posed to have seen the handwriting on the wall, was unearthed in a mound and this, with evidences of civilization such as deeds of the sale of property, led to the com plete identification of the city which was formerly supposed to be fictitious. Ur is the oldest city known, be ing in existence in 5000 B. C., 1000 years before the date of the old concept of the creation of the world.

Hidden Observers Admire Elegant Bustles at Capers Projection Room Serves as Spectator Row By Stivers Vernon It was really a very nice show. It had to be. The house mothers were there in force. In fact sev eral of them—or somebody who looked like house mothers—sat sa close to us during our abbreviated sojourn in the projection booth, that we could have reached out and touched them at any time. In spite of the fact that they persisted in rising and cutting off our view at the most interesting moments, we managed to secure what we hoped, at least, would be very interesting and instructive views of proceed ings through the medium of our cameras. It all happened last night at the Coed Capers. A goodly number of the fair sex were there and the way they capered was not only highly entertaining but in some in stances highly grandiose. For in stance, the young lady who sport ed the truly elegant bustle in the little skit about the king (sorry we didn't get her name; the usher neglected to give us a program as we entered) taught us more about the travails of our grand mothers than we could have learned from a dozen picture books Honest, the way she carried thal thing around was enormous. The senior cops, whom we learned to respect as the evening v/ore on, opened the program with a very neat little song and dance number which was just what we reeded to settle us firmly and com fortably on the tin floor of the projection booth. We couldn’t make out the words but the ac tions indicated a very desperate intent and the whistles dangled formidably as they promenaded. The skit which followed just nat urally failed to make sense from where we sat. It was quite evident to us that the principals cared lit tle whether the occupants of the (Please turn to page 4) Morse Secures Use of Gerlinger For Waffle Wiggle Dorm Members Will Save Cost of One Lunch Margilee Morse, general chair man of the annual Waffle Wiggle, announced today that the “eat and dance” affair will be held In Ger linger hall.

Europe Acclaims Hofmann As Great Music Interpreter Hofmann, the pianist who elec trified Europe at the age of five, and America at the age of 10, has since then consistently been re garded as one of the greatest in terpreters and virtuosos of all time. The unbridled enthusiasm with which Europe has acclaimed his recent appearances there, is merely an echo of the warmth with which American audiences have always greeted this master of the piano. Of Hofmann's recent London ap pearance, a critic said “X should think that every famous pianist within a hundred miles of London must have been present at his re cital, to say nothing of celebrities in other walks of life.” The London Evening Standard said of Hofmann after one of his concerts there: “His reputation, stretching over many years, as a master of the piano with technical powers for which virtuosity seems an understatement, remains undi minished.” After Hofmann’s appearance as soloist with the Concertgebouw of Amsterdam, the reviewer of Der Telegraaf wrote: ‘‘It seemed like old times. An overflowing concert hall ... a festive spirit, a great success! A world name, and justly so. One of the very greatest of the very first.” Students of the University will be given an opportunity to hear Hofmann in McArthur court Sun day afternoon, February 10. Mem bers of the ASUO will be admitted free to the event. Vill Duran! Jpeaks Here February 14 ‘Program for America’ Noted Thinker’s Topic For Address Lecturer to Hold Forum At Conclusion of Talk Speaking on the topic of “A Program for America,” Will Du rant, popular lecturer, philosopher, publisher, and writer in current magazines, will come to the cam pus for a lecture Friday 14. The affair was originally scheduled to be given in Gerlinger hall, but it lias now been definitely decided to bold it in McArthur court. It is scheduled for 8 o'clock in the eve ning. Speaker Is Capable Durant is said to be eminently qualified to tackle large, all-em bracing topics. In his lectures, as in his books, he treats with amaz ing thoroughness such tremendous subjects as civilization itself, such subjects as the destiny of mankind. His enormous popularity is attribu ted to the fact that he is wonder fully proficient at treating these great topics in terms which are not only understandable, but are thought-provoking and entertain ing. Devoted to Knowledge Durant’s career has been devot ed to the popularizing of knowl edge. He strips the lore of great thinkers of its intricate verbiage, and recasts it in every-day lan guage. That he has done this with out in any way adulterating the philosophies of the past and pres ent is regarded as perhaps his crowning achievement. At the conclusion of the lecture, Durant will be very glad to an swer any questions which members of the audience may care to ask. Post Prints Articles A series of articles by Durant appeared in the Saturday Evening Post in the summer and autumn of 1934, the first, “Is Our Civiliza tion Dying,” intended as an an swer to Spongier; ‘‘Is Democracy a Failure?” and “The American Choice,” have been widely read. An other article entitled “Our Morals” was published during the last few weeks by Durant in the Post. Hilbert J. linger Gets Idaho Post Dr. Hilbert J.
