Cocktail Amendment Dead
SALEM — The famous “cock
tail" amendment to the Oregon liq
uor control act is dead.
The house, by a vote of 41 to 19
decisively wrote finis on the con
centrated movement of propon
ents for this amendment which
would permit sale of hard liquor
by the glass.
The lobby attempting to get this
amendment has been busy even
before the session opened and the
past week has been concentrating
its efforts. The movement ap
peared hopeless from the start, but i
was voted on only after two and a [
half hours of heated debate.
Warden to Lose Post
OKLAHOMA CITY, — Governor
Marland said today Mrs. George A.
Waters, for eight years warden of'
the Oklahoma reformatory at
Granite and the only woman in i
charge of such a prison, would he j
removed and that the state board
of affairs would select a man for |
the place.
The governor’s announcement
came when the board of affairs af
ter an investigation at the reform
atory several days ago into charg
es of cruelty, made a report to
Marland and recommended imme
diate dismissal of the warden and
the appointment of a man.
Marland said the visit of the
board to the reformatory recently
had “nothing to do’’ with the pri
son break yesterday in which 31
men fled after killing a guard. All
but 18 have been returned.

Non-Yong Park, Chinese
Philosopher, Expert
On Far East
1 o'Clock Classes Excused
For Gerlinger Speech
American civilization from an
Oriental view will be discussed by
Non-Yong Park, Chinese lecturer
and philosopher, at a student as
sembly today at 1 o’clock in Ger
linger hall. Classes will be Sis
missed at this time for the lecture.
Dr. Park is recognized as an
authority on Oriental subjects and
has made Far Eastern history and
international relations his life
study. He is a graduate of the
University cf Minnesota. He re
ceived his master's degree at Har
vard in 1932 in history and politi
cal science, specializing in inter
national relations.
Wins Prizes ,
While a university student, Park
won three prizes for essays on in
ternational problems and relations,
competing with American students
in their own language.
Dr. Park was born in Manchuria.
At the age of 13 he left his parents
in order to escape an unwanted
marriage arranged by his parents.
Visiting Manchuria last year, he
fell into the hands of a tribe of
bandits and had a thrilling escape.
On this same trip he visited in
China and Japan, where studied
the political and social conditions
of these countries.
Talks and Teaches
For 10 years he has been lectur
ing on Far Eastern questions at
various universities,rand colleges.
He taught at the University of
Minnesota after being graduated
there.
Besides being a noted lecturer.
Park is also an author. His book
entitled “Oriental View of Ameri
can Civilization’ has been widely
read, and he has just completed a
new book on “Retreat of the West.”
Times Praises
The New York Times book re
view says of his “Oriental View
of American Civilization,” “Surely
it is time for the balance to begin
to right itself, it has been for so
long dragged to the ground on one
side by scores of books about the
East written by Occidental ob
servers and critics that to find this
book by an Oriental about Amer
ica is encouraging. An Easterner
that begins to talk back will en
liven contemporary life. And, in
deed, the author of this book has
the native endownment and the
skill to ‘talk back’ with such
knowledge, intelligence and humor
as to make it worth while for
Americans to read what he says.”
One literary critic has termed
Park the “Goldsmith of China,”

have followed the intrepid adven
turer through newspaper accounts
and through his own stories in the
National Geographic megazine, will
have the opportunity to hear him
tell of his experiences, and see his
strange and unusual motion pic
tures, it was announced at the Uni

dean of personnel. Burg will be
presented before University stu
dents and townspeople Tuesday and
Wednesday, March 5 and 6, at the
Colonial theater sponsored by the
associated students.
“Our Strange World” is the title
chosen by Burg for his illustrated
talk, which will include not only
vivid word pictures of his adven
tures, but more than 7,000 feet of
carefully selected motion pictures.
The pictures and talk will take the
audience from the far north in
Alaska, through glamorous South
Seas, cannibalistic Melanesia, to
Bali, Java, and may parts of Asia
and other sections of the world.
Full Program
The presentation is exactly as
Burg will give it before the annual
session of the National Geographic
society in Washington, D. C., in
March, when an audience of more
than 3,000 will gather for it. He
has appeared before this group and
others in the East and has always
been enthusiastically received.

Critic Calls Band Technique
Fair; One Ear in Bass Horn
By Fulton H. Travis
As nearly as it is possible to
iudge a concert when one ear is i
;ucked snugly into a bass horn j
md the other is being assaulted
jy staccato notes from a trumpet
jell, your critic believes that the
jand concert was good average
vork. There was almost nothing
;cintillating and. on the other hand, j
nothing particularly bad.
“Irlandia” by George Drumm
veil lived up to the expectations
neld for it. Wayne Gilfry’s bari
:one solo, “Believe Me If All Those
Endearing Young Charms” car
ried all the beauty, poignancy and
;motional qualities for which that
iustly great number is famous.
Gilfry gets this week's orchids
'or a splendid piece of work and
rhose members of the band who so
jxpertly supported him in the ac
:ompaniment should especially be
rommended. William Gresham's
;olo, “Come Back to Erin” lacked
:he perfection of tone of which he
s capable, but was accurately done.
The work of Charles Sandifur,
clarinetist, was one of the smooth
est pieces of playing your critic
has ever been privilege to hear.
There was not a flaw in any of
his cadenzas and his tone was out
standingly good. Both Sandifur
and Bruce Senders did remarkably
well in the Concertino by Weber
and the audience’s response was
gratifying.
The horn Concerto, by Mozart,
played by Cecil Botts was well done
considering the difficulty of the
number and the extreme intricacy
of his instrument, the French horn.
Miss Brandon Young, guest art
ist, played the harp cadenzas with
the perfection she always shows
ir. her performances.
The program swept to a perfect
conclusion with the band's rendi
tion of “Sempre Fidelis" march, by
John Phillip Sousa, master com
poser of American band music.
We say it was a Three-Star con
cert.

Wheeler Bill
I
For Activities
Senate Measure Would
Permit State Board
To Collect $ 15
i Lav-Makers Not Informed,
Says Neuberger
Compulsory ASUO fees moved
another step closer today with the
passage by the house of Senator
Wheeler’s bill empowering the state
board of higher education to col
lect a sum up to $5 a term from
all students for the support of stu
dent activities including athletics.
The bill was advanced on the cal
endar for first cnsideration.
The measure, which has already
passed the senate, passed the house
yesterday by a vote of 46 to 11,
with four absent.
Representative Norton of Mult
nomah county suggested the bill
be amended to avoid any of the
fees going to athletics and further
urged students be polled on the
compulsory fees. No action was
taken on his suggestion and no
motion was made. All that re
mains now is for the governor to
OK the measure and the education
board to put the compulsory fees
in effect.
Dick Neuberger, student leader
in the fight for optional fees, made
the following statement last night:
“I still don’t believe the legislators
realize the full implications of this
bill they have passed, nor are they
aware of the hardship the §15 fee
will place on hundreds of desper
ately-needy students. The Eugene
Register-Guard is absolutely right
in its statement that not once was
a fair hearing held on the measure.
It is quite apparent that the pro
ponents of the bill do not want the
facts brought into the open.

Two Noblewomen
BERLIN, Feb. 18— (AP)— Pre
cisely because they were born of
old, distinguished families famous
in Prussian history, Reichfuehrer
Hitler sent two noblewomen to the
chopping- block today and their
heads were cut off for spying.
Beautiful Benita von Falken

The man who induced them to
sell the Reich’s secrets, Baron
George von Sosnowski of Poland,
was spared from death through the
interevntion of the Polish ambass
ador. He was sentenced to life im
prisonment.
To the somewhat less implicated

Will Give Last
Talk on Love
Mrs. Richard F. Scliolz
Women’s Education
Authority
Mrs. Richard F. Scholz of Port
land will deliver the concluding
speech in the love and marriage
series of lectures this evening at
7:15 in Villard hall. Her remarks,
outlining the factors essential for
a successful marriage, will sum
marize the other lectures, not
through repetition of the other sub
jects but rather through a syn
thetic development of all the as
pects of love and marriage.
Mrs. Scholz is at present dean
of women at Reed college and is
much in demand as a public
speaker. She is outstanding as
an authority on education for wo
men and will speak on this topic
at the Rotary luncheon this noon.
Mrs. Scholz has been connected
with education and young people
ever since her graduation from
the University of California, where
she was a student of history. Her
husband was a professor of his
tory at the University of Washing
ton prior to his acceptance of the
presidency of Reed college. Dr.
Scholz held this position until his
death in 1924.
On several occasions Mrs. Scholz
has traveled throughout European
countries and has lived in Vienna
for more than two years.
A bibliography of books to sup
plement the remarks of the five
speakers of this series of lectures
has been arranged by Dean Karl
Onthank. Books on this list may
be secured at the old libe circula
tion desk where a special shelf on
love and marriage has been ar
ranged.
Casteel to Judge
School Debates
John L. Casteel, director of
speech at the University, is judg
ing a number of high school de
bates for the State High School
Debaters’ league at their request.
"I believe,” Casteel said, “that
our University symposium plan of
discussion could, with modifica
tions, be successfully used in high
schools.”
In some schools in Iowa discus
sion contests resembling the sym
posium discussion plan are being
used very effectively, he said. Ten
tative plans have been made to in
troduce this new method into Uni
versity high school, but consider
able experimenting, he believes,
may have to be done before it will
be worked out to the best advan
tage.
Horace Robinson of the drama
division will also judge several of
the debates.

Medford Admirer
Sends Huey Bomb
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—(AP)
A crudely fashined bomb sent by
mail to the senate office of Huey
P. Long failed to explode when
opened today, but sent government
agencies and the senator himself
in search if the sender.
Apparently a chemical affair, the
bomb threw Long’s office into con
fusion when opened by a secretary.
But the bottle within had smashed
in the mails and was almost empty.
Investigators had for their clues
these bits of evidence: the package
was postmarked Medford, Oregon:
a portion of a copy of the Medford
Daily Tribune, dated February 3,
was wrapped around the bomb;
wrapped around match sticks ap
parently a portion of the fuse
device—were bits of paper on
which were heiroglyphic markings.
Cast in "Dangerous Corners”$
Reveals Its Thespian Ability
By Wayne Harbert
Something entirely different
from the ordinary type of play was
Priestley's “Dangerous Corners,"
presented last Friday, Saturday,
and Monday nights, in the Univer
n'v theater by a most capable cast
of Guild hall players.
Intensely modern, in an appro
oriate modernistic set, the produc
tion held the attention of the ap
preciative audiences from the time
the curtain opened on the first
act to the close of the final act,
with only a few minutes elapsing
between the first and second acts.
The second and third acts were
played as one continuous scene. In
fact, the play could be given in one
act, as the action in each scene
begins immediately where the pre
ceding one ended.
“Dangerous Corners" has little,
or practically no reaction, such
as most plays have. It belongs more
in the class of a psychology study.
The players, greatly handicapped
by this lack of physical action, had
to rely to a much greater extent
upon their ability to hold the in
terest of the audience by their real
Thespian abilities.
The dynamic plot revolves
around the death of a certain in
dividual that occurred before the
play started. The unravelling of
the plot gradually results in the
implication of all characters.
When the play opens, everyone
is seemingly an innocent individual,
but when the conclusion ap
proaches, all have bcffoine em
broiled in the tense drama—the
result of everyone telling the
truth, regardless of relationship to
one another. One by one the mys
teries are solved, each character in
turn being given his “big scene. ’
To us, probably the outstanding
performance was given by Bill
Dougherty, in his interpretation of
Robert Chatfield, the man who
was determined to know all the
truth resulting in the disclosing of
surprising relationships between
the characters. But to praise any
one individual member of the cast
would be doing an injustice to the
rest, for really, there were no
“stars.” Althea Peterson was out
standing as Olwen Peel, as were
Virginia Mikulak and Marytine

Kletzer Wins
Junior Canoe
Motifs Award
Judges Choose ‘Melody
In Spring" Proposal
For Float Theme
Floats to Depict Popular
Songs in Parade
The winner! Miss Constance
Kletzer, has been awarded the $15
prize offered by the Junior class
for the best theme submitted for
the 1935 canoe fete.
Miss Kletzer’s theme is called
‘ Melody in Spring-," and features
modern popular songs as motifs

er with color sketches was chosen
by an overwhelming majority vote
from the judges.
Slay 11 Is Date
The canoe fete is one of the ma
jor events of the Junior Weekend,
and with Miss Kletzer's novel
theme, the Weekend directorate be
lieves that this year's fete will be
one of the best ever staged on the
mill race. The Junion Weekend is
scheduled for May 10, 11, and 12
this year. The canoe fete will take
place on Saturday, May 11.
The junior class of ’36 is the first
class lo stage a contest of this
kind, and its initial effort was met
with much enthusiasm. The class
reserves the right to ownership of
the suggestions submitted for the
contest, and wishes to extend
thanks to Dean Virgil Earl, who is
responsible for the originating of
the contest, to the judges who de
voted much time to the selection
of the theme, and to all the con
testants.
Labbe Is Pleased
Ed Labbe, president of the jun
ior class, expressed himself as be
ing pleased with the results of the
contest, and feels that the invest
ment of $15 will go far in making
for a successful and perhaps one of
the best canoe fetes in the history
of Oregon, as well as being a help
to future junior classes, to whom
the unused suggestions may be be
queathed.
Miss Kletzer is a freshman at
the University, and majoring in
architecture and arts. She is a
graduate of Grant high school of
Portland.
