Library Work W ill Be Given This Summer i Eight New Courses Are Available During Session Eight courses in library methods Will be given at the University of Oregon summer session at Eugene from June 24 to August 2, 1935. Summer session students wish ing to give their entire time to library work will be able to select three courses this summer from the eight courses offered. Librar ians wishing to devote all or part of their time to systematic work in other subjects will have a. large variety of courses from which to select in the fields of art, educa tion, history, literature, dramatics, foreign languages, political science, economics, sociology, business ad ministration, journalism, and phys ical education. No Additional Expense The library courses are on the same basis as other courses, under graduate college credit being given for the work. Students may with out additional expense carry courses in library methods and in other subjects. The courses are planned to meet the special needs of teachers who wish preparation to administer in telligently the school library in connection with their teaching duties. Many states have definite re quirements covering the training of school librarians, including teacher-librarians. The neighbor ing states of Washington and Cal ifornia have such provisions and the Oregon High School Principals' association has definitely recom mended requirements for the state of Oregon. Courses of Real Value While the courses meet especial ly the need of school library work ers, they will also be of real value to college and public library work ers who have not had formal library training. The courses are not designed to train people who have not had pre vious library training for impor tant library positions. Library workers and teachers now in posi tions, as well as superior upper division students planning to be come teachers, may take the work with profit. The courses offered are: ele mentary reference work, book se lection and evaluation, books for school libraries, school library ad ministration, 1 i b r a r y practice, reading and conference, catalogu ing, classification and subject headings, children’s literature. Former Student on Staff On the faculty is Mrs. Lois Baker (Willis Warren) formerly of this University library staff, who has been studying at the Uni versity of California school of librarianship.

University Named As Headquarters For New Museum Now Law Grants Monopoly On Excavations The University of Oregon was designated as the headquarters of the state of Oregon anthropology museum by action of the state legislature at its last session in Salem. Any prehistoric, anthropological and archaeological materials which | come into the possession of the | state by gift or Otherwise will be entered in the collection at the University. The bill, which goes into effect in June of this year, also provides that permission to excavate any anthropological or archaeological material from state owned lands must be secured from the state land board and the presi dent of the University. The museum on this campus, which is similar in plan to that at the University of Washington, will be used as labratory by the vari ous science classes and to stimu late general interest in anthropo logical and archaeological work. Dr. L. S. Cressman, professor of anthropology, is to serve as cura tor for the collection. the faculty, courses, etc., consult the “Summer Session Library Courses” pamphlet or see Mr. Douglass, head clerk at the old library.

Sick Man Dying "Well, that is a pretty terrible brand all right." "I’m sorry, but if you think that is a pretty terrible brand you have only Jay Allen to blame.” "Who is this Jay Allen of whom you speak?” "Jay Allen, my friend, is another good journalist. He has spent 10 years on the foreign staff of the Chicago Tribune, most of those years as chief correspondent for all of western Europe, particularly Spain. He probably knows more about that country than a lot of its politicians would like to admit knowing, and since we have both seen service at the University of i Oregon, and since he is even now writing a book on Spain, he was able and willing to supply me with the material without which I could not have written my history. “You see, when I first came to Spain, I had nothing more potent in mind than to learn a little and see a lot, to write a stray article as long as in doing it X shouldn’t miss anything. Then I met Allen and my mind promptly began to revolve on the possibilities of com posing something important. He loaned me a book and I read it. He loaned me a second book and that also I read. Well, sir, for one whole week I did nothing else but sit in my pension and read books supplied by Jay Allen. Whenever 1 thought to have finished reading and start writing, Allen would pop in with another work on Spain and say, ‘You really must read this.’ Hoad atul Puzzled “I read and I digested. I reread and I puzzled. I swore and then read some more. I read until my eyes burned and my head ached. I read by the light of a feeble bidb in a big room. I read in spite of the distractions of a busy square just below; T even carried books down to the dining room and held on to the bannisters so that the weight of my knowledge should not overbalance me on the stairs. Sir George Young, who owns prop erty in Spain, who lives in Spain and is a Socialist; John Dos Pas ses, who writes in good American magazines and is also a Socialist; Sir Charles Petrie, who does not own property in Spain, has not spent much time in Spain and is a staunch Tory; Senor de Madar iaga, who is a Spaniard, an Oxford professor and has written a great deal about Spain; Ernest Heming way who was a newspaper man and loves bullfights; all these and more 1 digested until the complete por tent of what Spain is and has been became a blur on my mind and made me a little dizzy to think of all the knowledge I had sopped up. “At last, 1 resolved that Spain would have to await its master piece from some other pen than mine; that 1 should make the bases of my articles I wrote the simple observations I made during the vagtour and the conversations l bad with Jay Allen; with Pedro, the little black-bearded monar chist; with Sanchez, the young Facist; with Gus, the tolerant Lib- j oral; with Navis Gonzales, who didn’t think she would like New Vork; with Juanita of direct phil osophy and questionable morals; j with J. N. whose principal com- [ ments were derogatory remarks 8 bout people who were always beg- • ging and spoke like Chinese; and a ' great many others who must have molded any opinions I have about Spain, New Sick Man "The difficulty is in convincing people that they should know something about this country which is usually looked upon as being not cnly the new sick man of Europe but actually dying-. The younger generation know that modem t Spain is apportioned about one page in their history books and are therefore inclined to discount the value of any information they may pick up concerning the Penin sula. “Whereas: Spain can at any time become the richest nation in Eur ope, provided that capital can be put in her agriculture, mines, and industries.’ This from Aubrey F. G. Beall, an English authority. What Alfonso the Wise said in the thirteenth century is still true. “ ‘More than all other lands of the earth Spain has an overflowing of every good thing—fruitful in crops, delicious with fruits, abounding in fish, rich in milk and in all things made from it, plen teous in deer and all kinds of game, well stocked with horses and mules, securely protected by castles, made glad by good wine, gold, precious stones, and all kinds of marble, salt from land and sea and rock, and many other minerals; lapsis lazuli, ochre, clay alum and all kinds that are found in other lands; abounding in silk and all things made from it, swet with honey and sugar, lighted with war, seasoned with oil and gay with saffron.’ Begins Convalescence “The point I wish to make now is that this sickly Spain has begun to convalesce and before long we will be rolling our eyes in wonder ment and saying; 'Lo! See! the dead hath risen and the weak are strong.’ It wasn’t long ago that Spain was cock o’ the walk, and with 18 Spanish speaking, Spanish thinking republics at her side it is quite conceivable that she may re gain her position before this cen tury is done. First, however, there are difficulties to be overcome.” “Pardon me, but you said a while back that you were a journalist. tjEADH SUIT . W\ iJCHur.

Infirmary Heads Request Students To Shorten Visits Victor Rosenfeld, John Weills, Robert Johnson and William Spears, were p.dmitted to the cam pus infirmary Tuesday. Glendolene Vinyard, Eugene Platt, Tony Luc as, and Dorothy Peets were dis missed. Those in the infirmary in addi tion to students admitted today are: Clarence Codding, Lloyd Ruff, Jack Smith, Ben Forbes, Eugene Stromberg, Gladys Battleson, and Stephen Hart. Infirmary authorities requested today that the amount of visiting be cut down. Students who must see their friends are requested to make their visits shorter and less frequent. There have been isolation cases in the infirmary all year, which is rather unusual, according to the nurses, and, contrary to last year when measles predominated, mumps have held sway. At present there are three mumps and two measles cases confined. Did you not write something of all these fine thoughts?” “Exactly what I was coming to, my friend. Now I have here a treatise which I have rather face tiously called: “You Can’t Have No Sunshine Without The Reign.” In it I endeavor to cite a few of the problems which have destroyed Spain in the past and retard it in the present. If you—” “Certainly, sir, with pleasure.” Send the Emerald to your friends.

Saved from rapinacious pirates, the girls sur render their petticoats, for band ages, to mercenary scouts led by MGM’s new pride and promise, baritone Nelson Eddy, who's stir ring “Tramp, tramp, tramp” ig nites Marietta’s love. Eddy was at his romantic peak when he swashbuckled through the bayou swamp lands. Marietta’s haughty coquettry brings him to bay in a spirited conquest that blooms into love with “Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life.” The reproduction of New Orleans formed a quaint background for the marriage auction scene—one of the highlights of the play. This scene as well as others is devoid of the anti-climaxes which abound in recent musical productions. Each situation is played up to its maximum, directed and photo graphed with the precision that characterizes motion picture art. The rapid change of setting, the steady movement of the plot, Her bert’s immortal music, excellent characterizations, ovices of Mac characterizations, voices of Mac a movie of super-quality. Impressions: Eddy's 20th cen tury cracks sounded a trifle anach ronistic in the 17th century setting, but at that, far easier to take than the usual “Why don't you speak for yourself, John,1’ continuity of period plays. Both MacDonald and Eddy have the happy faculty of looking pre sentable while they sing. Eddy is at his best when he dismisses Mar ietta’s suitors. He didn’t seem to have memorized those lines. “Blue eyes” sounded clumsy. Elsa Lan chester will soon be able to drop the Mrs. Charles Laughton suffix to her name. The League of Decency is probably pretty smug by this time. America’s reception or “One Night of Love” and Mar ietta should prove something to producers. Frank Morgan should be used sparingly so he will last longer. Relief Committee Calls for Petitions The student relief committee last night began calling in all com pleted referendum petitions in Eu gene and vicinity. Local petitions will be notarized by Howard Oh mart, campus chairman. Students with petitions must bring them in personally for the notarization. Announcement of the total num ber of signatures obtained at the present time in the Lane county campaign will be announced lated in the week and a large number turned over to the county clerk for official checking. Petitions are also being called in from granges, Townsend clubs, labor groups, and other liberal fac tions. Simultaneously the state committee in Portland announced it was sending out form letters to irannnnrararnnmcimnrancinramrncinnrar circulating groups in that vicinity asking the immediate returns of all filled petitions. Students who are registered vot ers are asked to call at the Y hut if they wish to sign petitions, or tc attend the next meeting of the relief committee Thursday evening at 9 o'clock. Saturday a delegation from the committee will go to Junction City in a canvassing drive there. Sev eral other speaking dates through out the week have been arranged. Describes Czechoslovakia Henrietta Horak, University stu dent gave an account of Czecho slovakia at the Eugene Rotary club meeting held yesterday. Miss Horak described the history, the people, and the industries of the countiy. She is a native of Checkoslovakia.
