War Is Cause Of Divorces, Hall Declares Article Shows Post-war Marriages Are Not Successful War marriages are the cause of. more divorces during 1919 and 3920 than for any other two-year period, finds Calvin S. Hall, as sistant professor of psychology, after comparison of marriage and divorce statistics since 1922. Hall attributes this social condi-1 tion to three hypotheses in his re-: cently published pamphlet, “Insta-1 bility of Post-war Marriages”: 1. Effects of the war itself in de- j laying marriages, partial segrega tion of sexes and physical and per sonality changes in those who agreed to marry before the war and did so afterward. 2. Marriages contracted after a condition in social life has delayed them are less stable than others. 3. Abnormally large numbers of marriages tend to raise the divorce j rate. “1 prefer to think that either the first or second hypotheses ad equately accounts for the facts,” states Hall. “Either theory ties in with the viewpoint of current psychology and psychopathology, i namely, that blockage of normal j outlets for the needs and desire- j of man oftei have disastrous re - j suits.” These conclusions were made ar- j ter tables prepared by Hall show | that in proportion the number of divorces among couples married in 1919 and 1920 is still greater tha.i| the proportion that should be ex- i pected. Before coming to the University last month Hall was on the Uni- j versity of California faculty. Ai present he is compiling more statistics to ascertain if other wars J had the same effect upon marriage | and divorce as the World War. Resume (Continued from Page One) General Farley, frequently criti cized for holding governmental and political jobs simultaneously, pro poses to continue, under plans re vealed today, as chairman of the Democratic national committee through the 1936 presidential cam paign. This development followed quick ly upon the institution of another move in congress aimed at remov ing him from one post or I lie other. Senator Norris (R-Neb), a 1932 supporter of President Roosevelt, Introduced a bill to place the en tire postal system under strict civil service regulations. It also closed a period of uncer tainty as to Farley's plans after many months in which his resigna tion from the party post has been expected and then postponed. Pres ident Roosevelt himself condemned the practice of high party officials also holding offices in the govern ment. Bine Entile Carries On WASHINGTON An indication that the blue eagle's future line of flight will follow approximately its present course came from Donald Richberg, director of the emergen cy council, today as he left a con ference with President Roosevelt and a dozen of his advisors on the drafting of a legislative program to carry some of the principles of NRA into permanency. For the first time in months, during which the future of the re covery administration has been a matter of controversy both within and without the NRA. Richberg asserted that the officials con cerned were in “general agree ment."

Chancellor Hitler, it was said in both English and French qauters, is “non-committal,” refusing to in dicate whether he will accept the direct approach negotiation to Eur opean security.

Co-oj> Rental Library Gets Latest Fiction Shipment Lists Nathan's Book of the Month ‘Road of Ages _ Shipments of serious fiction, light love stories, and well-known murder mysteries have just been j received at the Co-op rental li brary. Outstanding among the new nov- j els is Robert Nathan’s “Road of i Ages,” February choice of the i Book of the Month club. Although this book is a fantasy, its theme is j serious and significant. The ex-: pellation of the Jewish race from western civilization is pictured. Books Listed Another serious book is “Man’s Fate" by Andre Malraux. This story of revolutionary China is not new, but many requests have placed it again in stock. It was awarded the Goncourt prize for 1933. In the light love story class are “Hornet’s Nest,” by Helen Ashton, “Women in Love” by Kathleen Norris, and Howard Springs’ “Shabby Tiger.” Mysteries Included A murder story which won great fame in Kngland and is now piinted in America, is “Murder of My Aunt” by Richard Hull. Rather than presenting action in mere events, this mystery holds interest by the psychological development of characters. In a. San Francisco setting, “Murder Unleased,” by Dorothy Bennett is the typical American murder mystery. Mrs. Elsie Belknap, in charge of the Co-op lending library, said yes terday that the recent membership drive was highly successful. Many students are now enrolled to rent books. For spring, which is usually j a fruitful publishing season, she has ordered many books of general Old Oregon Praises Plans for Library Plans for the new library are en j thusiastically commented upon in | the January issue of “Old Oregon”, 1 monthly publication of the Oregon I alumni association.

Seven lives all warped and changed from their normal courses by the dominating personality and influence of a man who supposedly had committed suicide a few weeks before are shown stripped of their masks of conventional hypocrisy as the individuals decide for once in their lives to tell the whole truth. The play is a psychological one. bringing to light the innermost thoughts and actions of a group of individuals who would appear per fectly normal and happy to a dis interested eye. "Dangerous Corner" is extremely sophisticated, combin ing intense emotions and stark tragedy with a moderate amount of mystery. Doug Polivka, ex-’35. is now em 1 ployed by the News-Telegram ir.

T. A. j This will be the team’s second! public appearance for the 1935 j season. They made their debut j Sunday evening when they ap-1 peared before the weekly forum of j the Presbyterian church. The men’s debating squad will' begin their schedule February 10 by an appearance before the First Congregational church in Portland. “Old Age Pensions,” including the Townsend plan, will be discussed. Joint symposiums with the Uni versity of Washington by both teams will be one of the high lights of the season. The symposium debating system which has been used for several years in Oregon, is becoming wide iy known and much discussed in many other schools. It was adopted this year by the College of Puget Sound. Tts success in the Univer sity will be studied by a group of students from Stanford university some time in March this year. Huestis Says (Continued from Page One) hindermost: the teacher with the stupid, the sociologist with the squalid and the geneticist with the freaks.” Examination of family histories and comparisons of identical twins reared apart have greatly increased the knowledge of human differ ences which are due at least in part to the differences in the fam ily genes. ‘‘With this information has come the disconcerting discov ery that far from being in a healthy biosocial condition we must look as time goes on for many mental and physical disabilities.” Diabetes in Families Diabetes, caused by an endocrine insuficency was a few years ago believed to be curable by the use of insulin which doctors now says only postpones death, for desipte its use deaths from diebetes are growing more numerous. Regard less of medical tests and hospital records which would point other wise a tendency towards cancer is evident in families. Dr. Huestis gave a brief history of genetic study which many peo ple believe began in the twentieth century when three investigators rediscovered the works of Gregor Mendel, who has attained post humous fame for his laws of her edity . He also told of the import ance of the American fruit fly, drosophila, in research by the ge neticists who now can knock single chromosomes from their salivary glands by the use of the X-ray and observe the result.

As an offering of the as sociated student lyceum series, it is being put on at the popular price of 55 cents to all, with no seats j reserved. The entire orchestra of more | than 70 pieces is being brought to the campus and will be directed by Willem van Hoogstraten, now com pleting his tenth season with the Portland organization. The orches tra itself is in its twenty-fourth year, making it the oldest organi zation of its kind in the west with the exception of the San Francisco symphony. Dr. van Hoogstraten has spent 15 consecutive summers as leader of the famous New York Philharmonic Symphony orchestra. The program announced for the Corvallis concert consists of the selections “Valse Triste,” by Jean Sibelius; overture of “Tannhaeus er,” Richard Wagner; “Tales from the Vienna Woods,” Johann Strauss, Jr.; first movement of Violin Concerto No. 3, Camille Saint-Saens; and “Scheherazede” suite, Nicholas A. Rimksy-Korsa kov. The first movement of Saint Saens’ violin concerto will feature as solo artist, Howard Halbert, as sistant conductor of the Oregon State college symphony orchestra. Mr. Halbert played the concerto in its entirely with the orchestra in Portland last year. The concert will be held in the large men’s gymnasium on the campus with seats for more than 3000 persons. by the committee on free intellec tual activity.

George Root has been appointed general chairman of the affair. Leading coast bands are being considered to play the job includ ing Hal Grayson's popular Seattle band, and Les Hite’s orchestra of Cotton Club fame, Root stated. Bill Aetzel is arranging for the music. I The dance will be given in the Igloo, and will officially open the social calendar of the spring term. “We will attempt to make this the best campus dance of the year,” Stanley declared. “In many east ern universities Sigma Delta Chi functions are considered the high lights of the social season. It is our aim to bring a dance of equal importance to the Oregon campus,” he said. to the complete satisfaction of ev eryone. The long promised and much pub licized fourth movement from “Symphony No. 1" in C minor, by Brahms, was up to all the fine claims made for it and Underwood was well justifed in holding it for the last number on his program. Since Brahms has been introduced to the student body and well re ceived, it is to be hoped that more of his great compositions will be offered in the very near future. Throughout the program, the oboe solos were played with a mas terful finish. Especially to be con sidered was the piccolo solo work done by Margaret Turner. The French horn solos which Cyril Botts played were smooth, and for the most part, precise. Incidental solos by Lora Teschner Ware were beautiful and highly pleasing, but a faculty musician against a stu dent background is apt to be out standing. As nearly as it is possible to grade a concert, we say it was a three-star performance and with the talent available for this sym phony, we hope that the next time they appear in public, they will get a good night's sleep before go ing on and rate all five of the stars by playing, as consistently good, as their rendition of the Brahms number. Symphony First On Radio Series The broadcast of the Univer sity symphony orchestra's concert from McArthur court Sunday, Feb ruary 3, marks the beginning of what is expected to be a regular series of similar radio releases to be undertaken by the Emerald of the Air. a department of the cam pus daily. Reports from the radio audience indicate the Sunday broadcast was well received, according to George Bikman, editor of the department. "There is no reason,” said Bikman, "why the many splendid University musical presentations cannot be released to those members of this community who find it impossible to attend the concerts, now that good mechanical reproduction has been satisfactorily demonstrated.” The next broadcast of the series will probably be released Sunday, February 17, when the University band will appear in concert. Hopkins Says (Continued from Page One) with a piano and yet, the listener is not primarily impressed with his perfection of technique because he uses it to express a great person ality.” In his concerts, stated Hopkins, Hofmann makes the most of the advantage of contrasting soft and loud tones. He will be playing fair ly softly, no one realizing just how softly he is playing. Then he will increase his volume so greatly that the audience wonders how it was ever possible to accomplish such a difference in the tones. All Angles Good “Hofmann’s interpretations bear at once the authority of a master and the rare fascination of genius,” Hopkins said. “And withal, he is a normal congenial human being, presenting his artistic wares mod estly, without the slightest ten dency toward eccentric manner isms sometimes mistaken for tem perament.” “His concert next Sunday after noon in McArthur court will be at tended by everyone who has even the remotest conception of the im portance of the occasion,” the pi ano professor concluded.
