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.

Pleased at the tone of the Anglo

accept it as it stands, and kept
the powers guessing as to whether
the reich will negotiate with her

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

“Old Age Pensions,” including the
Townsend plan, will be discussed.
Joint symposiums with the Uni

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

many other schools. It was adopted
this year by the College of Puget

Students to Hear
Van Hoogstraten
Students and faculty members |
of the University of Oregon are in
vited to take advantage of the op-'
portunity to hear the full Portland
Symphony orchestra on the Oregon
State college campus Tuesday
night, February 5, starting at 7:30!
o'clock. 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.

Sigma Delta Chi
Will Hold Annual
Dance on April 6
Group Consolers Leading'
Coast Bands for Job
The date for the annua! dance
presented by Sigma Delta Chi, na
tional journalism fraternity, has
been set for April 6, according to
Leslie Stanley, president of the or
ganization. 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.

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.
