Smith Offers'?Simple Plan
In pCommand of Words5
By ROBERT LUCAS
Appearing on the campus but
recently was a book entitled “The
Command of Words” by S. Ste
phenson Smith, one of the Univer
sity of Oregon’s most illustrious
and respected faculty members.
The book is published by Thomas
Y. Crowell Company, New York,
and is now in national circulation.
Stephenson Smith, who in 1931
wrote “The Craft of the Critic,”
has been a member of the Univer
sity faculty since 1925, before
which time he established a bril
liant reputation as a student at
Reed College in Portland, and later
as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford.
Not confining his activities to aca
demic pursuits, he was, while in
attendance at Oxford, correspon
dent for the Associated Press, free
lance writer for the Manchester
Guardian Commercial in Spain,
Germany, and Czecho-Slovakia;
and was also editor of the New
Oxford, the Oxford Labor Club
journal.
Prof. Smith has been received
with increasing enthusiasm by suc
cessive classes of students who de
light in his sparkling lectures on
literature. Aside from the great
block of knowledge he offers in his
courses, each lecture is a study in
the use of the English language.
Oddly enough this smooth flow of
language is not dominated by the
rigid inflexibility of beautiful clas
sical rhetoric but is laced with
"American” slang of the refresh
ing variety, and words and phrases
that are chosen with microscopic
exactness.
In his book, "The Command of
Words”, Stephenson Smith offers
an unusually feasible and simple

Yeomen Get Prize
Thousands lined the streets of

Oregon parade its rally strength
on the eve of the test of its grid
iron warriors against those of the
Orange and Black.
The boom of Yeomen saws took
first prize in the noise rally, while
the ponderous steam roller put
forth by Delta Upsilon was award
ed honorable mention.
Noise Almost Unbearable
Sirens screamed, fireworks shot
into the cool damp skies, horns
roared, cutouts popped, huge com
pressed air whistles tooted, and
compressed air hammers pounded
mechanically on circular saws
deafening the spectators. Many of
the students stuffed cotton in then
ears to lessen the din.

Hockey Game Is
Saturday at 10
As part of the University Home
coming program, the women’s di
vision of the school of physical ed
ucation is planning a hockey game
to be held on the women’s field,
adjacent to Gerlinger hall, at 10
o’clock Saturday morning.
Anyone who is interested in
playing or watching the game is
invited to come. ' Because the
teams will have not played togeth
er previously, play will necessar
ily be quite informal and in short
periods. All equipment, except
shoes, can be furnished to players.
Graduates of the school of phy
sical education and those who have
played hockey in other schools are
especially invited to play.
Martin Gives
Steadiness Tests
Seventy-five freshman military
students have now taken the Sea
shore steadiness test, according to
R. M. Martin, graduate assistant
in the psychology department, who
is conducting the experiment.
Martin plans to examine 25 more
next Wednesday to get his quota
of 100. About 25 completed the
test today. The results of the
check give a comparative record
of the subject’s teadiness.
No vital discoveries can be made
until winter term when these re
sults are checked with the rifle
scores of the 100 freshmen.

The business meeting of Phi

New Library
Takes Form
Excavating Done;
Cement Being Poured
Excavation for the basement of
the new library is completed and
cement pouring has begun, Mr.
Reynolds, clerk of construction,
said yesterday.
Mr. Reynolds explained the many
sets of upright steel rods as being
reinforcement for the cement col
umns which will extend the height
of the completed building.
“Cement pouring started as soon
as the forms were completed,” stat
ed Mr. Reynolds. “It is economic
and time-saving to wait and do
this all at one time, because that
mixer is the baby of the outfit,”
he explained, referring to the huge
cement mixer which is operated on
the steel hoist towering over the
entire construction area.
“Every time we use it, the entire
mixer must be thoroughly cleaned,
and it’s as much bother as wash
ing dishes,” he commented.
The Emerald’s Greeting
To The Beavers
Editor’s note: Yesterday morning tire Oregon State liarnmeter and 1’ie Oregon
Daily Emerald exchanged editorial greeting. Tn these editorials were definitions of
privileges as agreed between the two schools. The Emerald here reprints the editorial
appearing in the Tlarometer and trusts that students of the University of Oregon wilt
respect the procedures herein outlined.
One of the greatest myths current in this state today is that
involving the alleged bitterness between students at Oregon State
college and those of the University of Oregon. To many of our
laymen the two student bodies are quite divorced from common
interests and loyalties that are essential to maintaining a harmony
between the two schools.
Of course we are loyal to our respective schools and interested
in the development of each. Were we not, we would be an insipid
and disinterested lot of people with habits of force and fortitude
smothered by inbreeding habits of self development.
But the students of both schools are essentially united regard
less of variances in routine and immediate interests. Both schools
are pursuing one thing the understanding of a vastly complicated
society with the ultimate goal of happiness as educated citizens.
Students of both schools see in their neighbors qualities of lead
ership and resourcefulness. They see vital personalities that they
admire. They are repulsed by misfits that insist on emphasizing
superficial differences for the sake of a brawl. Those of either
school who gloat in their isolation overlook a fine opportunity to
meet and absorb personalities of other students who because of a
mere 40 miles are not constantly accessible.
The University of Oregon anticipates the visit of the Beavers
and welcomes the opportunity to exercise a hospitality that will
do much toward the development of further understanding between
the two student bodies. And the University wishes to make plain
that it does not recognize and is frankly ashamed of those stu
dents who do not reflect a health, sporting attitude toward its
guests.
Should Oregon State college win the football game on Hayward
field tomorrow the University will honor the Beaver privilege to
• the University goal posts. And the University of Oregon students
will respect the Beaver position as guests and try to make him feel
at homg on the Oregon campus.
The Beavers are good! The Ducks will surprise you!
But through it all we are friends and may the best football
team win!

Oregon Daily Emerald.
