^++4’4*+4’4'4*4’+4’»4’+'fr'4’++4»'l'4’4’4,'l* I STAGE | | of the l I WORLD | £__* + * ■* By TexThomason £ + *++****+*+*************+ You Name It A nasty object has just come out of the sewer of human life. It is the story of Loeb in Joliet Peni tentiary. Nearly twelve years ago Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, brilliant possessors of distorted minds, grew tired of the monotony of “unevent ful” life. To relieve their boredom they killed a child, little Bobby Franks- just to amuse themselves. The sadistic story turned the stom ach of the world. But Clarence Dar row, the “friend of the underdog” gallantly came to their rescue, and kept them from the hot-seat they so justly deserved. Why ’a dearie me— That is the fading past. But only a few days ago Loeb’s name again made news. He was murdered— murdered by Enee Day, a fellow convict. His slaying would proba bly have caused little comment had not Day’s story leaked out to pro voke a flood of newspaper copy. Loeb was “queer.” At the sound of this word the prison authorities set up an awful clamor. “Why, how could this have been going on? And right under our very noses, too.” They needn’t have been shocked. That has been going on for years. But they had to feign horror be cause the public WAS shocked. Naive ? Those authorities are the very essence of naivete. They could not possibly have known what was going on in their little rock hut. No, of course not. They just leave the shower-rooms open for all the older boys who are foxy enough to snatch the gravy jobs in the prison library. And might there have been a whisper down the prison grape vine long ago that Loeb was a per vert ? Yes, and there probably was, but of course they're only officials and wouldn’t hear anything like that. Night and Day Day’s story is to be taken with a grain of salt. He didn’t go into that shower holding any cherubic belief , that the idea was to “play house.” | He wasn’t that stupid. And that he | was the oppressor rather than the ' oppressed is far from improbable. In any event it is a sordid recital. Moral Tear off your veils of the “shush shush, mustn't hear” days, and look at your penal system. The techni calities of it I do not know, but that many prisons throw non-addicts in with hop-heads, novices with hard ened criminals, and untainted boys with crazed homos, is known. It is magazine gossip. Almost anything done could im prove this situation, but no cure-all is being suggested. Not even a rem edy. Let us just say this is pulling back the blankets from some dirty linen. Low Scores Prevail (Continued from page three) Theta Pi romped to a decisive 28 to 6 triumph over the Phi Kappa Psi hoopmen. Although he postponed his bas ket sinking until the final half, Kenneth Kirtley of Beta Theta Pi snatched the scoring laurels for the fray by chalking up four field shots in the last period.

Inmates of Prison (Continued from page one) ment on the part of inmates of Ore gon state penitentiary. During the last year the prisoners at Salem who wish to continue their educa tion have been carrying on corre spondence courses with the general extension division of the Univer sity. About 40 or 50 men are enrolled in these courses. Many are taking entrance English, while quite a number have gone on with the reg ular college courses. “No one de siring to teach could ask for stu dents any more earnest or more appreciative than the group that I have met in the prison,” said Mr. Quigley, who has charge of the correspondence work done by the prisoners. Ranging in age from 17 to 58 years, these men are serving sen tences which differ, some being a few months long while others are life terms. Compared to the 1000 inmates of the penitentiary, these 40 men are but a handful, yet they represent the most ambitious and most intellectual group of the whole prison. Oiie man, who was 38 years old when he entered the prison nine j months ago, did work which was entirely incoherent. He had left school when he was in the sixth grade and until last year had re ceived no further schooling. Re cently he sent Mr. Quigley a type written letter which was perfectly constructed in grammatical form and in meaning. Another man, who has been re-1 ceiving A grades for nearly a year ! wrote on the margin of his last pa per, “These lessons have come to mean a great deal to me, as they ■ are the only educational work to ; be found in the prison. I look for ward expectantly for each new as signment and for your comments on the lesson that is returned.” In speaking of his work with the prisoners. Mr. Quigley said, “I was at the prison the other day, and I met all the men who are taking correspondence courses.” He stopped and then continued enthu siastically, “One can individualize more here than in any other work I have encountered in the educa tional field.” “What is your greatest difficulty in writing?” was recently asked in the English course. A novel reply from one of the prisoners showed that he knew more than he would admit about writing. "My great est difficulty in writing is not knowing how to write. I am weak in vocabulary, sentence construc tion, capitalization, and punctua tion, and I know very little of the meaning of the word ‘diction.’ Yes, too, spelling is another thing. In such words as ‘rabbit.’ I never know whether to put in two ‘b’s’ or one ‘t’ or vice versa, without going to Webster's. My New Year's resolution is to overcome some of j these deficiencies.” It was in prison that O’Henry ; learned to write, and his release j was finally secured because of the excellence of his work. Who knows what O’Henry may be developing | in Oregon state prison at Salem ? !

FILLING STATION East 13th Street Qualifications For Marriage Told by Dean Mrs Cheryl Seholz Stresses Necessity Of Ability to Learn By Past Experience By VIRGINIA ENDICOTT The person who learns by ex perience will make a better mate than the person who must be re formed or taught, Mrs. Cheryl Scholtz, dean of women at Reed college, stressed last night in the opening lecture on the fifth love and marriage lecture series in Vil lard hall. Love for the opposite sex is the dominating aspect of life, and is necessary and normal, Dean Seholz said in her discussion of the prac tical and social aspects of love and marriage. It is fundamental, she said, in developing character and personality. With the present changing social and economic orders, Dean Seholz said that the attitude toward mar riage is changing and becoming more tolerant. Evolutionary mar riage customs and folkways de mand understanding. Homemaking Said Important ‘'Homemaking is a very impor tant part of marriage, but there is a tendency today for women to desire financial independence,” Dean Seholz added. Formal educa tion, religious authority, and unity of work within the family are rapidly disappearing from the home, leaving love, maintenance of the family, and reproduction as the evolutionary change. The perfect mating is of the per son who loves you and the person you love. A successful marriage is based on sincerity, love, and judg ment. First loves rarely make suc cessful marriages, Dean Seholz said. Lauds Coeducation She added that several love af fairs weathered successfully are essential in the development of the person. She lauded coeducational schools as giving good opportunity to students in acquainting them selves with different types of stu dents of the opposite sex. Dean Scholz said that infantilism is prolonged too long in modern youth. Young people are dependent on their parents too long, and do not accept the responsibility of taking care of themselves, she stated. She laid the blame for late mar riages on this and the economic situation. She was confident that some solution will be made by nature for this problem. Varied Group (Continued from pane one) amendments, additions, and ap proval next Tuesday. Paul Plank will act as chairman of the commit tee. Hall was appointed a “steering" committee of Fred Gieseke, S. Eu gene Allen, and Jack Riley. They will arrange notice and place of meeting. Faculty Members Approve Several faculty members, S. Ste phenson Smith, Waldo Schumacher, Samuel Haig Jameson, and Wayne P. Morse, sent letters of commenda tion of the idea which were read at the beginning of the meeting. All of the letters expressed the need of a group similar to the ASU and ex pressed hopes that it would be suc cessful. Glen Griffith, secretary of the YMCA, and Arthur Stanley, presi dent of the Student Christian coun cil, also sent letters, expressing their approval and support of the venture. il f OYSTERS Are Perfect Food Oysters form one of our most perfect foods. They contain 200 times as much iodine as milk, eggs or beefsteak — they are nearlv a perfect balanced food. They are rich in vitamins, containing vita mins. A, B, C, D, and G. Oysters are more easily digested than meat and many other foods. An excellent re ducing food, being low in caloric value. Valuable in prevention and treatment of anemia because of the copper and manganese content. Enerey Builders One pound of oysters will furnish 750- of the energy a man needs daily—28 G of the protein—35 G of the calcium —53 G of the phosphorous and 136 G of the iron.

HOWARD SHOE SHOP 871 East 13th Street Co-op Sales Increased 1935 Report Shows Substantial Growth There were 50.914 gross sales made at the University of Oregon's cooperative store in 1935 compared to 43,766 in 1934, according to the Co-op board's annual report re leased Thursday, January 30, at a luncheon meeting in the College Side. The annual report, prepared by Spencer Collins, C.P.A., and read by Manager M. F. McClain, showed that the students’ store book-list prices are the same as books in eastern schools, although the added expense of freight charges bringing the books across the continent must be met here. For winter term of this year, re ported sales are 25 per cent ahead of winter term last year. The in crease, says Thompson is due to the increased outgo of student ac cessories such as note—books, etc. Sixty-five per cent of all sales were text-books, and amounted to ap proximately rS29,000 for 1935. Rent, which amounts to $150.00. claims 3.5 of the sales each month. During rush seasons ap proximately fifteen students are employed, while ordinarily there are four regular clerks and two part-time employees, not counting the janitor, and a boy who strings rackets part-time during tennis season, winter and spring terms. Each of the selling staff is either a student or alumnae. Those attending the monthly meeting were: Jack McGirr, Frank Drew, Dean James H. Gilbert. Dean John F. Bovard, Hale Thompson. Edward Wheelock, and Manager M. F. McClain. OPEN Q TILL O Saturday evenings for your convenience. - The BEST CLEANERS Phone 740 821 13th Street NOTE BOOK PAPER Three Hole .
