Assistant managing euiiur: Dill I’casc way cairor : Margaret Hay Right editor: Crawford Llyc^ Assistant: Margaret Dick Drama High-Light Jjj^VEN in the lives of tho.se of us who carry our emotions lightly it is probably safe to assume that there have been both the capacity and the occasion to have felt deeply; there has been in the experience of most of us a time—perhaps only a few moments— when a deep feling or a high thought lifted life into the sublimity of another sphere. It is around such an occurence that the play, “The Shining Hour/’ centers. It deals with a love that is intense and fine, but cir cumstances thwart its fulfillment. Those min utes, however, when (lie flash of insight into beauty came to two persons—they were their shining hour. It, will be an audience sympathetic and understanding which attends the Guild Hall performances of this play when it opens in the University theatre next Friday night. That audience can be assured it will witness a presentation done in all-around professional style, and it may itself contribute to this ef fect by appearing in the traditional formal first-night clothes. Ottilie T. Heybolt, and Horace W. Robin son of the drama department are conscient iously offering a good show, well done, as the high light of the winter term plays. It will be worth seeing. Highly Social Purpose jyjENS sana in corpora sano-—a solmd mind iji a sound body—is a worthy ideal for a university to promote anion;' its students; but, as applied in tin1 usual university gym nasium, it is an ideal the effect of which goes no further than among the actual participants in bodily development on the campus. No such short-ranged ideal is that which Dean Uovard holds for Oregon’s new physical education plant, which presents many years of planning on the part of his staff and him. For Dean liovard subscribes to the new vision which the more enlightened of the nation’s directors of physical education are upholding — sound minds in sound bodies for the people in general, not merely for those who are so fortunate as to receive a higher education. # # * rJ'MlK 1’niversity school of physical educa tion is not only to balance with strong bodies the minds which other departments of instruction arc enlightening, but it is to train young men in the methods of bodily develop ment that they might carry the ideal of the sound body among all ranks of the people. That this is an ideal, of course, which the school of physical education has held much ■.longer than since the construction of the new gym; but never until tlie new big plant was erected on University street was the pro per fulfillment of that ideal possible. It was too ambitious for the school’s facilities. * * # J^OW, however, the University has a new gymnasium, constructed with that high ly social purpose especially in mind; and, though we make no exuberant prediction of a magical transformation in the physical con dition of Oregon’s population, still we are certain that the University's school of phys ical education will exert a widespread bene ficial influence in time to come, r I Men and Nations By HOWARD KESSLER What do you know about Adolf Hitler? If you remember that he was born in 1889, served as a corporal in the First World War, was the seventh member of the German National So cialist Labor party, and on January 31, 1933, became Chancellor of the Third Reich, you’re hit ting par along with the experts of history, soci ology, economics, biography and penny-ante poker. The remainder of his career is in doubt, and unless he keeps a diary, which no dictator should ever do, will continue in doubt for many years. Beside me are two biographies: "Hitler,” by Rudolf Olden, a German newspaperman now in exile, and "Germany’s Hitler,” by Heinz A. Heinz, a volume I purchased in Berlin. Are you with me? Heinz: “Adolf was lightning quick at school, j and learned with astonishing facility.” Olden: “Adolf failed to pass out of the first class and had to go through the whole course again.” # * * Red Hot Hitler Heinz: “He was a boy of flaming euthusiasm and all-devouring intelligence. His keen study of the Franco-Prussian war and his intelligent inter est in history made him thoroughly conversant with the politics of Middle Europe throughout the preceding century.” Olden: “Idleness and incompetence soon grow. The tasks of the higher school may have been too much for tho small intellect of a child who got no help at home. He became lazy, shy, ill-tem pered and morose. He built himself a dream world j which he furnished with the few Imre intellectual ■ elements he had really assimilated.” Heinz: “ ‘We all liked him, at desk and at play. 1 He was no more hefty than the rest of us, but an enterprising little chap. He had “guts.” The whole class acknowledged this boy as the leader.1 ” Olden: “The children in the village called Adolf ‘daft’ because of a strange habit he had. He used to preach without seeming to require an audience. He was fond, too, of climbing a hill near the vil lage, on which two fruit trees stood; there he used to speak to non-existent meetings.” # # # Drawing Power Heinz: “One or two of Adolf's drawings rather seemed to take the master’s fancy. “ 'Hra, not bad! Not at all bad!’ "A scrutiny, a pause . . . more sketches turned over . . . then came a sharp bespectacled glance into the candidate's anxious anil eager face. “‘Where have you studied architecture " ‘Nowhere,’ Adoll' was obliged to own, ‘I've not had any lessons.’ “The examiner seemed loath to credit it. Turn ing over yet more sketches with an approving eye, he insisted: "‘You mean to tell me that you were never in a school of building?’ “ ‘No,’ repeated Adolf, 'Never.' “Tiie professor shrugged his shoulders disap pointedly. ‘That’s unfortunate,' lie said, 'I'm afraid there's nothing to be done then, here. This is no place for beginners. You must try elsewhere . . . get some groundwork in first.’ " Olden: “It is true that young Adolf Hitler did not shrink from applying for admission to the Academy, and not merely once. His name appears in the Classifications Liste for 1907 and 190S. i On (lie first occasion, we find the words: ‘Test drawing below standard’ added. \f the second attempt, he did not even get this far. The com ment was: ‘Not admitted to the test'; lie was known by this time.’’ What do you think ?

I Hop’s SKIPS & JUMPS By ORVAL HOPKINS \ N issue of the daily Prince ^^-tonian contains this: Mary had a little lamb, Its fleece was white as snow. And everywhere that Mary went She took the bus. May I say Mary is welcome to all the busses she is able to lay her small, lilly-white hands on. With in the last month I traveled not less than 1200 miles aboard one of the things. What’s more, I don’t care if there are those who have traveled 12 million miles on one of 'em in the last three days. Mary can still have them, for all o’ me. The great yellow racy job was scheduled to move out at 10:40 one night. It got under way at 10:51), even as the curtain on ‘Tonight at 8:30” probably rises promptly at 8:50. There is ab solutely no connection between Noel Coward ’s recent money maker and my trip on the bus, so don’t look for any. At any rate , the crate screeched down the street for about haif a block and stepped at a service station for twenty minutes while the driver and the attendant chewed the fat. The passengers chewed their nails. According to the schedule we had been on the road for forty minutes, and we were ex actly one-lialf block from where we started. The speed of mod ern transportation. . .heigh-ho. Not the least attractive feature of a trip such as this is the differ ence in fellow passengers one meets. On the way south, for in stance, the gentleman sitting next me said a total of three words. The first was ‘yes,” the second was “no,” and the third I wasn’t right sure about. I think it was "naw" tho. This during the course of some twenty-two consecutive hours of bussing it. (Bussing in the other sense.) You can readily see the advantages. a fMUi timt or tne boys was a ^-gentleman who was, I should judge, approaching the octogen arian stage. He was a dodderer and far be it from rne to jest about old age. But it seems he had set his heart on seeing the bay bridge be tween San Francisco (called “Frisco” in the outer reaches, 1 find) and Oakland. We came, on the evening of the second day, to another and smaller bridge crossing an arm of the bay, some distance from the bay bridge. At this point my oldster friend, having no one sitting next him at the moment (his seat partner bad last been seen chasing a red haired lady in Weed), leaned forward and said: "Is this that there eight-mile bridge ?” “What eight mile bridge was that, Colonel?” 1 flipped. "That there eight-mile bridge over Frisco bay,” he quavered. “Oh,” I said. "No, this here’s an other bridge.” "Oh, this is thuh eight-mile bridge, huh?” the old gentleman said, delighted. "NO!” I bellowed. “This is three other bridges.” My old friend looked at me dubiously, slowly turned his gaze Friday the 13th? Phooey! * — — — -—■“* ...... tmmum-.r. • 'W,.aT.'Z,1^3W j Well equipped to withstand all superstition, C. W’. Johnson of Seattle went hunting' for elk on Friday, the 13t.

TODAY’S ATTRACTIONS MCDONALD: “Come and Get It” and “Can This Be Dixie?” HEILIG: “Mysterious Cross ing” and “Undercover Man.” STATE: “Oh, Susanna,” and “Special Investigator.” REX: “Come and Get It” and “Can This Be Dixie?” MAYFLOWER: “I’d Give My Life.” "Mysterious Crossing" at the Heilig, starring James Dunn and featuring Jean Rogers and Andy Devine, is an oft-told story of a newspaper reporter solving mys terious disappearances and helps to prevent a tremendous fraud. For much action and excitement, you can't go very far wrong on this one. The other attraction on the bill is “Undercover Man" fea turing John Mack Brown, former all-American football player. “Come and Get It” written by Edna Ferber, famous., author., of “Cimarron,” “Showboa t” and many other successes, brings us a rattier colorful picture of life in a lumber camp. Edward Arnold, the film’s star rises from a lowly chore boy around the camp to a big lumber baron in a period of twenty years. Frances Farmer, the former University of Washing ton coed, uho is making a quick assent to stardom, is the feminine attraction. She has the difficult out the window, returned it to me, settled back in his seat. “Well, this is pretty dura nice bridge, young feller,” he clinched the argument triumphantly. Us on a bus—with music, and stuff. Edward Salutes Queen Mary While Ihc world awaited liis action, the Duke oi Windsor, King 1-Jd i.ird the laghth when this picture was taken, saluted his mother with its customary respectful gesture. i task of filling two roles, that of j the mother and her daughter. Hard enough for anybody to do!' Joel McCrea has the other leading part. “Can This Be Dixie?” starring Jane Withers, although not too strong a production has music and laughs that will un doubtedly appeal to many. * * * Rather an exicting feature is the one at the State today, “Special Investigator” in which Richard Dix is starred as one who seeks to avenge the death of his brother and then falls in love with the sister of the murderer. Gene Au try, the singing cowboy, is featured in “Oh, Susanna,” the accompany- j ing attraction. * * * I Sir Guy Standing, who has given many outstanding performances comes to the Mayflower with Frances Drake in “I’d Give My Life.” As customary on Thursday evenings, the Rex has the same billing as the McDonald. * * * BACK STAGE: Did Jimmy Fiddler refer to the late Boss Alex who was found dead on Jan. 2, when he said that he found in the will cf a young actor, the request to be “buried in the backlot of my studio where I have been buried for the last two years?” Bather bitter sentiment. . .but we have enjoyed his work since we saw him on set in Hollywood two years ago. Becently married to Anne Nagel, he has appeared in many good films, among some being “Midsummer Night’s Dream,” “Here Comes Carter,” which seemed to be his first big break, and many others in the last two and a half years. Tragic, yes, but the show must go on. CUBTAIN. WPA Math Course Being Prepared A new mathematics correspond ence course under the Works Progress administration is now being stenciled for those people who have difficulty in this exact science. This new course has been pre pared by John W. Hough and F. K. Seely. The fundamentals deal with rapid computations and then application to the business work. The course is based on actual business experience taken from in terviews of Eugene business men. including the making of business forms, discounts, banking, market ing goods, profit and loss, in stallment buying, and depreciation. Instruction in the every day mathematics is designed to serve ! four particular groups of students: first, those who wish to secure the mental discipline that comes from the study of an exact science: i second, those who want funda- [ mental courses for natural and ap plied sciences, such as physics and engineering: third, teachers of j mathematics who wish a more thorough preparation for their; work: and fourth, men in military service, or those, who expect to be.

Although cases thus far have been mild, there is fear being felt in the state office that waves two and three, which always follow af ter the first wave, will be more serious. Rifles and Peace While representatives of automo tive interests and labor were being called together yesterday for a peace parley which it was hoped would end the General Motors strike at Flint, Michigan, more than 1000 national guardsmen equipped with rifles were moving into the city to “safeguard” peace. The General Motors army of un employed passed the 114,000 mark yesterday as workers at the Pon tiac Motor company and the Olds mobile plant in Lansing joined the strike. Send the Emerald to your friends UP TO SNUFF Venita Brous and Ellen Hill New Spring styles are making their debut on the campus, and in town. Shops along Wil lamette street are showing, each in their in lividual way, spring frocks or suits. Styles have become extreme, they promise even to be more so in the future. Coeds have their choice of four smart lines in coats, this season. The semi-swagger — a simply grand sport coat, the good-and-full swagger, terribly smart for tweeds, plaids or checks. These coats are almost straight in front, but flared at the back. The fitted prin cess reefer is the last word on spring coats. It measures a little over two yards around the hem. The semi-fitted reefer is a slim-loolc ing coat, straight but full enough with its deep inverted pleat at the back. MAN-TAILORED SUITS -Many suits 'will be let loose upon the cam pus this term. l)o you remember the grey suits of last year, made of men’s-wear -worsted? You may not have been sure whether you want ed one or not. This year you will be sure, unless you happen to see the navy twill suits first, in which case you will have a severe at tack of that would-you or wouldn’t-you inde cision. The color most talked about for them is navy blue. More ami more navy suits are being lined with taffeta and worn with yellow blouses. BLAND'S have one of the finest selec tions of these suits that you ever saw. The selection includes the extremely man-tailored suits that will be the thing to wear to class or on informal dates. The taller you are, the shorter you can wear your suit skirt. Correct lengths are between 12 or 14 inches from the floor. I SHORT SLEEVE SEASON ARRIVING SHORTLY Even this early in the season short sleeve spring dresses have become popular. At Mo il ORK AN & WAS11BFRNE, Walmita Mills, Alpha Gamma Delta found a new duboimet hiee spring jroek. It is a flared-pepluin suit with match buttons down the front. A small cluster of gold flowers that are worn a little below the shoulder is the only other bit of contrast on the outfit. 11. G. lIADLEf S have a new group of lovely spring dresses and suits. Some of their dresses have odd shaped yokes, buttoned backs, others, back flare fulness in the skirt, and still others have various bits of contrasting com binations. These dresses are the very newest of new. Look for our advanced styles in next week's issue. Be sure to go to the assembly, it is certain to be good today. Don C'asciato will attempt to give his version of “Penny's From Unev en. lie s just a bit worried as to what the outcome of this venture will be. But if you give him half a chance, you will see that he realh isii t bad. But seriously, it you possibly can go to the assembly today, do it.
