The remainder of the class funds, some $75. will be divided in as yet an undetermined ratio between a membership in the Student Aid organization and the Associated Friends of the Univer sity. The committee which made this selection was composed of Grant Fade, chairman. Mary McCracken, Bill Hall. Ben Chandler, and Or ton Goodwin. The committee’s de cision was accepted by the class at its meeting Tuesday night. $10,000 Needed The browsing room fund, getting the bulk of the gift, is to be used to help furnish the browsing room of the new University library. Some $10,000 is needed for this purpose, as only the finest furni ture is to be'purchased. The Student Aid organization is for the collection and dissemination of information concerning the op portunities for graduate scholar ships throughout the world. Membership $25 The cost of an associate mem bership for the University is $25 and further funds will be used to convey to the members of the sen ior class of 1937 information as to how they can best take advantage of this service. The present senior class is desi rous that this become a traditional part of the gift made by each suc ceeding graduating class. Nan Wiley Makes Figures as Thesis Four figures in glazed ceramic (fired clay) representing the red, yellow, white, and black races, to be placed in the browsing room of the new library, are being modeled by Nan Wiley as her master’s the sis. The figures are to stand two feet high on a six-inch base. Each one is a stylized statuette, sym bolical of the race it represents. Miss Wiley expects to finish her work for her master’s degree dur ing the summer session here, which she will attend on a Carnegie scholarship. She formerly was a pupil of Weylande Gregory, one of the foremost men in ceramic sculp ture in the United States, at the Cranbrook foundation. Miss Schmidt Leaves Evelyn M.

While in Germany, she will visit friends and relatives whom she has not seen since 1931 when she spent two years in Europe. Murky, Cold Air In Igloo This Week The atmosphere about McArthur court is murky, cold and still. The heating system was interrupted by digging for the new men’s gymna sium. The heat went off Monday and and will continue so for the rest of the week. It is rumored that the boys are displeased, occasionally stirring the leaden air with their more or less violent protests. Most of the secretaries have been forced to retire to their hearths to thaw out between shifts. Do they stir the leaden air with their protests ? The rumor didn’t say. And did the namers of the Igloo foresee this day of woe ? Campus ❖ ❖ Calendar Because of the life saving train ing course there will be no social swim tonight in the women's pool.

W. DeBusk of the school of education. With funds given by the Port land Women’s Research club to the University of Oregon school of ed ucation for general remedial work with children, apparatus and ma terials necessary for remedial.clinic work was bought several years ago. Out of this has grown the summer session children’s clinic. Children who need remedial wora in reading, in arithmetic, or in spelling are taken, their trouble lo cated, and individual help given by student-teachers, who at the same time take remedial theory work under a supervising staff. During the first two days of the session, tests and diagnosis of va rious kinds are given all the chil dren, so that their difficulties can be exactly located. Each child is then given a student-teacher who works with him individually two hours each day. At the same time these student teachers take theory classes in re medial work from a supervising staff. This staff this summer will be the same as last year, including Dr. Elizabeth Montgomery of Port land, Miss Lillian Rayner, special ist in remedial work in the L03 Angeles city schools, and Dr. B. W. DeBusk. Three courses are taught by these supervisors besides practice teaching: the psychology of these children; remedial techniques to be used with younger children; and remedial techniques for older chil dren. The student-teachers taking the work are mainly supervisors of city school systems in various parts of the country. This summer some will come from as far east as Oklahoma City. There is no age limit for those getting remedial help. Pupils from first graders to college students have been taken. Approximately 400 children have gone through this summer session work. They have come from as far east as Mil waukee and as far west as Hono lulu. About one-half of the num ber that can be taken for this summer have already made ad vanced registration. Great advancement is often made. During one six-weeks ses sion, one girl was built up three and a half years in arithmetic, as shown by two different forms of Stanford achievement tests. In reading, the greatest advancement that has been made was by a 15 year-old boy, who could not read a primer when he entered, and who was advanced five years in the six-weeks session. These cases, however, are exceptional. The av erage gain in 42 cases last summer was equivalent to a little over one year of regular school work. The reason that so much is ac complished in such a short time, according to Dr. DeBusk, is that all instruction is designed to ac complish a specific thing. The ex act trouble is located, and the par ticular remedy applied which will help that trouble. Besides the regular cases of reading, spelling, and arithmetic difficulties, a limited number of speech cases will also be taken this Summer. Wesleyans Honor Seniors Tonight “Are Ye Able?” will be the theme when University of Oregon, University high, and Eugene high school Methodist seniors are hon ored Friday night at 6:30 in the annual senior banquet sponsored by Wesley club.

Oregon's new athletic manager, will be "coming , home” when he takes over his new duties on June 1. During the time he spent on the campus, he made such a reputa tion for himself as an athlete and an all-around popular student that he will long be remembered as one of Oregon's greatest alumnae. "Although he weighed only 130 pounds,” says Bill Hayward, "he I was one of the greatest players we ever had.” That was because he was so fast and shifty, full of fight yet good-natured, and above all YWCA Selects Contact Group Plans for Coming Year Are Slated for Discussion At Meeting Monday The YWCA purpose and contact : group for next year was selected yesterday by Margilee Morse, membership chairman.

Benefit Tea Date Changed The date for the benefit tea for the Pauline Potter Homer collec tion of books has been changed from Friday, May 29, to June 1, M. H. Douglass, librarian, said yesterday.

The tea will be given from 3 until 5 o’clock. It will be in the form of a silver tea. Miss Lenore Casford, reference libranian, is in charge of the func tion and is assisted by Mrs. Alice B. Macduff, assistant dean of wo men and representing the AAUW, Mrs. Frank Chambers is on the committee representing the Uni versity alumnae organization. New Athletic Manager Is ‘Coming Home*' When He Takes Office smart, and the piaster of every situation.” When Coach Gil Dobie of the University of Washington heard of him, he said that Cornell wasn't said Prof. H. C. Howe with a said Prof. H. C. Howe with ha reminiscent chuckle, "Anse had Gil Dobie scared more than once.” On All-Northwest In fact he elbowed his way past the big fellows to place as quarter back on the 1913 all-Northwest grid team, and, furthermore, he was the captain on the 1916 all Northwest baseball team. His posi tion was shortstop. In his senior year he was captain of both the football and baseball teams. On the grid, so it was said of him, Cornell’s specialty was quarterback runs, clever general ship, handling kicks, cussing play ers twice as big as himself, and telling the coach how to run the team. He was really a good natured, scrappy, little bit of dynamite. Professor Howe remem bers that he was the darling of the crowd, always popular with the fans. On the baseball diamond, this pocket athlete led the team in batting averages. For a while his was at the .555 mark. He was considered the fastest man in the conference and was a past master of the art of eluding basemen with a quick fall away slide. He was rated as one of the three best base stealers and run getters in the league. He made errors, but ha tried, for every ball that came his way, even those which other men would have let go by. His beat was short stop, second base, or third base. Anse had his high school ath letic career under the tutelage of our dean of men, Virgil D. Earl, who was then coaclj at Washing ton high school in Portland. Mr. Earl considers him one of the best athletes he ever had. Cornell played fours years of high school football and had to leave the game but twice. He was very original in his ideas. Bill Hayward remembers the time he pulled the first fake place kick. It was in the annual Oregon Oregon Agricultural college fracas, which was then held in Albany, so-called neutral territory, because in those days the inter-school rivalry often ended in bloody gang fights. The score in the last few min utes of the second half was still (Please turn to paqe (our) 'Dinner af Eight’ Has Second Showing Tonight The guests will again arrive for "Dinner at Eight” this evening when the University players pre sent the second showing of the brilliant Kauffman-Ferber play that rocked Broadway several sea sons ago. As the curtain rings up at 8 p. m. in Guild hall the stage will be set for this story of life among the smart set on Park ave nue. This show, which played to an appreciative audience last night, cuts through the veneer of the "400” and bares the shallowness and the greed which lies in the hearts and minds of many of "those in the news.” The dramatic climax to "Dinner at Eight” is furnished by William Cottrell who takes the part of Larry Renault, the cast-off actor. This role was played by John Bar rymore in the recent filming of this show and was the high spot of the picture. Fighting against the realization that he is through and against his love for Paula Jordan, (Patricia Neal), the young daugh ter of Oliver and Millicent Jordan (Walden Boyle and Marian Bai er) Renault is forced to recognize the fact that he is through. With the ,poor house staring him in the face decides to end it all with a dra matic finale. As the time arrives for "Dinner at Eight” one by one the guests arrive. Hattie and Ed Loomis (Eleanor Pitts and Virgil Garwood), asked to fill up the table when the guests of honor decided to go on a fishing trip to Florida. Dr. and Mrs. Tal bot (George Smith and Helen Rob erts). the playboy doctor and his wife. Dan Packard and "Kitty'’ (Robert Henderson and Virginia Scoville). The part of "Kitty” was taken by Jean Harlowe in the moving picture. Oliver Jordan (Walden Boyle), suffering from heart attack and ruined fi nancially by Packard’s dirty work. This role was played by Lionel Barrymore and the part of Car lotta Vance (Helen Campbell) by Marie Dressier in the picture. All are there but Larry Renault who will never more attend "Din ner at Eight.” This sparkling show was pronounced by New York critics to be even more outstand ing than the former success, "Grand Hotel” which also X-raycd the “400.” "Dinner at Eight” will also be presented tomorrow night, start ing at 8 o’clock. Tickets may be reserved at the box office in John son hall.

II. Douhlass, li brarian, said yesterday. Dean Allen Finds Europe’s Lights9 Tobacco Poor Europe seems to have bad light ing systems, or so Eric: Allen, dean of the journalism school, told the journalism staff in a letter last week. It isn’t just the cheaper ho tels which are poorly lighted. Even the kaiser's palace is economical when it comes to electric light, and as Dean Allen said, “It would take a lot of crystal in the chan deliers to make up for low candle power.’’ The dean prefers American to bacco too, for the letter states that 20 per cent of the tobacco burns like punk and lasts a day! The Allens are now in Berlin, af ter traveling through France and Belgium. In Paris, Dean Allen was the guest speaker of the American and English correspon dents at a luncheon. The dean says that the fame of the Oregon school of journalism has apparently even reached for eign lands, as many of the for eign correspondents had heard of the school and thought well of it. In his letter he complains about the European dislike for water. Apparently a glass of cold water is more of a medicine than a drink to them. He says that in France, however, “they put good water on the table to dilute the wine, and if you wish you can throw away the wine and get a really good drink of water.” Dean Allen describes Belgium as “prosperous and more like the old Europe of song and story than anything I have seen. Cafes and terraces filled with sociable peo ple drinking little sips of this and that and _ playing dominoes or checkers or just comfortably talk ing.” Traveling through Europe is cer tainly a test of one's linguistic ed ucation. However, with a little help the dean has discovered it’s not so hard as it seems. Reams Is New Interfraternity Council Head J. Hurd, Vice-President; Secretary - Treasurer, Vic Rosenfeld Ed Reams, first year law stu dent and new president of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, was chosen presi dent of the interfraternitv council last night at a meeting in the Phi Gamma Delta house.

Vic Rosenfeld, head of Sig ma Alpha Mu, will serve as secre tary-treasurer. Reams, when contacted last night, stressed the importance of following the new rushing regula tions. “The organizations." he stated, “are all called upon to co operate in trying to put the new rules into effect. We want them whole-heartedly to do something about them.” The council also discussed means of publicizing the revised consti tution. Original plans were to print the document and the by laws in the Emerald special edi tion. but this became impossible when the issue was called off be cause of lack of funds. The facts may be disseminated to incoming students through a special edition of the Register-Guard, to be pub lished this summer.
