VOLUME XXXVII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1935 NUMBER 41 i-444'M,4*444,H'44'4'4444 STAGE * of the WORLD By Tex Thomason In Washington the representa tives of the press are having a tough time eking out newsworthy items. When Congress goes home it’s like a circus going into winter quarters. The "biggest show on earth” closes shop, and hard times befall the capital newsmongers. Terrible The international situation has offered them some solace, but with the war temporarily in a static state, British elections over, tariffs signed, and the dictators in the world just coasting along, their task of gratifying your sen sation hungry appetite is no easy one. As a result most of the corre spondents are choosing to twang the harp of recovery ballyhoo. Why they should do this is a mys tery comparable to that of the missing link, perpetual motion, the fourth dimension, and the forgot ten man. There is no need to ring a gong already rung, and oh how many times have the flunkies of Old and New Deals whipped the ozone into a gale, pealing out their carol of recovery. So all that is really necessary is to re-print the press bulletins so promiscuous ly handed out by these Adminis tration spokesmen. The newsmen’s rehash is superfluous, but editors don’t give jobs to those who can only run bulletins. Behind It Chairman Landis of the Securi ties Exchange Commission has said there was nothing he could do about stock prices climbing. Gov. Eccles of the Federal Re serve Board prompted the head line "Eccles Holds Hands -Off in Stock Boom.” Is it so easy to for get that prominent analysts have declared one of the principal rea sons for our suffering to be the failure of Pres. Calvin Coolidge and his FRB Chairman Eugene Meyer to use the curbs at their command? It seems to be quite easy. Once again the public is del uged with floods from government publicity bureaus, many a wave of which carries on its crest pre dictions that all is again well in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Are speculators and foreign investors to be allowed to create a false prosperity? In stead of headlines proclaiming "Hands Off” there should be some screaming “Washington Moves to Stop Stock Skyrocket,” subheaded by “Boom Not Warranted by Pro duction Figures,” says Eccles. Tick, Took Maybe the pendulum has swung back from too much optimism, to too much pessimism, but a lot more proof of recovery should be apparent before we again don the rose-colored glasses. At any rate there will soon be new news, and recovery will re peat his retreat around the cor ner. Incidentally, a real scoop would be one telling of the invention of a "corncrscope,” making possible the view of an object aroud a cor ner. That’s where recovery has been for several years. We’d all like to know just how far it is to the turn. Ungers at Pocatello Callista de la Fontaine, M.A. ’34, and Hilbert Uunger, Ph.D., ’32, were married in Portland this summer and are now residing in Pocatello, Idaho, where he is physics instructor at the southern branch of the University of Idaho. ❖ *Calendar International relation conference program is to be found on the sports page.

Turnbull of Shelton, Turn bull and Fuller Printing company, spoke to the backgrounds of pub lishing class Wednesday, Novem ber 27, on rare and limited edi tion books. As a member of the Limited Editions club of New York City, Mr. Turnbull was able to show the class many unusual books. Included in his collection are several books of particular note. Homer’s “Iliad,” a hand-set vol ume from Holland, is printed in an unusual type owned exclusive ly by the publishers. The paper is water marked with the name of the publishers throughout. Goe the’s “Faust” is another volume, rare in that the illustrations are done in a modern method similar to display advertising illustrating. The same principal holds true for “Thar She Blows”, illustrated by Paul Johnson and “Travels of Bar on Munchausen,” illustrated by John Held Jr.', cartoonist for many of the current magazines. Several northwest printers works were exhibited. The presses represented were the Metropolitan Press of Portland, Oregon; Cax ton Press of Caldwell, Idaho whose book, “Indian War* of Ida ho” is used In the schools there as a textbook; Statesman Press of Sa lem, Oregon; and the Universitj Press of Eugene, Oregon. At th« University Press each year th« advanced class In printing turns out one book. According to Mr. Turnbull, Prof. Robert Hall, In charge of this class, should be highly commended on the work this class does under his super vision. Perhaps the most Interesting book shown was a book printed in Japan. This book had a silk bind ing with no back but the leaves ol the book. It was not so creditable for the type that was used but rather for the binding and illus trations. “Everyone should build a li brary! not just limited editions because they are more or less show pieces and are often not eas ily read, but rather well printec and bound editions that one know! and likes,” was the advice of Mr Turnbull. In discussing the Grabhori Brothers of San Francisco, anc John Henry Nash, Mr. Tumbul said that while the latter sticks t( but one style of printing the Grab horns vary their printing consid erably. “Robinson Crusoe,” one o: the books printed by the brother and shown to the class had beei bound in a limp binding and a pe culiar type face and featured il lustrations of particular interest The perfect book must have uni ty of type, paper, and binding ii Mr. Turnbull's estimation.

Optical Illusions Crosland’s Topic Lions Club Hears, Sees Sight Lecture Many people believe that they are seeing things which do not ac tually occur or exist because they interpret what they see in terms of emotions or prejudices, past ex periences or in terms of anticipated experiences, Harold R. Crosland, associate professor of psychology told a luncheon meeting of the Lions club in the Osburn hotel yesterday. The trickiness and unreliability of human eyesight was the subject of Crosland’s talk. Illustrating his points with lines, pictures, colors, and other demonstrations, the psychology authority drove home to his audience his point that the optic sense is easily deceived. Past experience, prejudices, con jecture as to the form of forth coming events all enter into the picture which the screen of the eye transmits to the human brain, Crosland told the Lions. Cloran’s Condition Remains Unchanged Reports from the Pacific hos pital state that Dr. Timothy Clo ran, language professor, rested easily yesterday but that his condi tion remained unchanged. His classes in Portuguese, old French readings, and Italian are bein£ taken over by members of the language department during hie absence the remainder of fall term i i I l I i i Today’s Emerald Is Last This Week; Five More Appear Today’s Emerald is the last one this week, but five more issues will be published next week to bring the paper’s pub lication this term to a close, It was announced yesterday by Emerald business office.

Seven Students Infirmary-Bound The day before Thanksgiving and seven Oregon students lan guished in the infirmary beds, hop ing against hope that they would be able to get out—or do they ? Perhaps the rumors of the infirm ary food tempted a few souls to a day of rest and eating of the turkey and fixin's that they hope to get. Those who came in yesterday and therefore could be accused ol this trickery, were Esther Roberts Jane Myers, Robert Parks anc Alys Phillips. Harvey Thompson and Harry Shliefer have been awaiting this day all week as there is very little hope that they will be released ir time to enjoy it elsewhere.

Famous Chorus Slated The Batvian-Russian chorus, on tour for the first time in the United States, is famed through out Europe as the outstanding or ganization of its kind and is made up of more than 20 singers trained by a thousand years of tradition in the expression of folk and ec clesiastical songs. They are similar to the Don Cossack chorus, which packed McArthur court last year. The Gleemen, Eugene song group, is the third in the series and is scheduled to sing Febru ary 1. Last year this group enter tained before a record crowd of 7,000 University students and townspeople.

The University band and the symphony orchestra will each play twice during the season, but no dates have been announced. Led by Rex Underwood, under the di rection of John Stehn, these two groups have in the past created much enthusiasm on the campus.
