Assistant managing editor Bob Emerson I Jay editor: Lillian Warn Night editors George Knight Assistant Night Editors Elbert Jiawkins Missed, But Hit CHARACTERIZING t lie recently published interfraternity council handbook as miss ing the point entirely, the Eugene Register Guard suggests editorially that more essential and more interesting activities should be in cluded in the booklet. The importance of the editorial, published in the adjoining column, is not in its criticism of the council (if such criticism is even in tended), but in the direct bearing the com ment has on the University’s program. # # # S cited yesterday by Dean James II. Gil bert, and as many other faculty leaders have declared, the crying need of the Univer sity is an arrangement whereby campus visi tors and citizens of the state are actually “told'’ about the school, its greatness, and its many accomplishments. Certainly, the University still needs many additions to achieve true greatness. Dean Wayne L. Morse, in his recent New York speech, outlined part of a constructive pro gram that may well be followed. Not only must pure science be offered once more, but other practical courses need working in with the extremely valuable cultural program. There is still much to do along those lines. However, progress is being made, and it is the hope of University leaders that such addi tions will be made in due time. # # * • T^EGARDLESS of these additions, the Uni versity ranks high as a school. Educators realize it. Students here realize it. faculty member realize it. The editor of the Register Guard realizes it. But many otlfler people vitally concerned do not. The University does need “selling'' ol its good points. It is doubtful whether funds are available at present for a paid chairman of the .type of promotional committee suggested by Dean Gilbert. However, every effort should be made to obtain the necessary finances as soon as possible. In the meantime, much can be done. The primary need is for some centralized author ity to be responsible for such work. A perma nent faculty committee to supervise and aid students in such procedure seems the logical answer. # # fit'll a committee, in charge of “welcom ing guests, and in charge of carrying on as much ' selling" of 1 be University \s achieve ments as possible, should be appointed at once. Even at this late date they could help mater ially in working with students on the week end program tor the entertainment of hun dreds of visiting high school track boys. In the luture the members would ill ways be available for initiating and directing such reception work. They would be ;>n hand permanently to help work out worthwhile promotional plans, until remuneration is avail able lor a full-time man in this work: # * rJ'\llh intortruternity council may have mis.M'i! the point outirelv. If limy did so it was a natural intorost in promoting tlioir wcllare as well as the l uivorsitv s, In missing the point, however, the booklet hit dirootl\ on a fundauiontal weakness of iho I 'nivorsitv \ present program wliioh should be remedied immediately. President (\ Valentino Hover plans to eou Jer tomorrow ith othe administrative olfi oials. It seems reasonable to expect favorable action on the plan, so that Oregon could he "' ll <lU ',s "ay toward being not only a tine l niversity, hut a truly great I'niversity, too. Meet The Victors 'J'lIlS fighting Oregon baseball team, with five victories in a row up north, certainly ought to provide’ plenty of spirit and enthu siasm tor Wehfoot fans to talk about. A rally meeting at the train Friday would be only a small measure of appreciation. Need more be said? Three Times And Out AS a fitting climax to four years of higher education, the University’s seniors are scheduled for three final examinations before they (receive their much-coveted sheepskin and degree. Although these affairs are full of ceremony and showmanship, every effort lias been made by Advisor Dean Gilbert and the administra tion to make them not only of interest but of practical value to the graduating students. Carefully selected speakers will provide intellectual meat well worth digesting by the senior preparing to leave his small University whirl and enter into a completely different outside world. Program arrangements have been made so that efficient handling vviil eliminate boring pauses and unnecessary delay. rJ''JIE luncheon Saturday, May 2!), will pro vide opportunities to meet old and rocen alums. The alumni office is preparing a swift moving program full of interest. The meal i. l'ree to seniors, with only cap and gown dres: required. Baccalaureate Sunday, May ‘50, will read a new peak for interest this year. It is sei for eight in the evening instead of the morn ing. Eugene churches are cooperating by dis missing services. The speaker, Rev. .1. Iludsoi Ballard, is not only well-known for his cap ability, but for his brief pungency. Dean (lil bcrt has planned a program less than one lioui in duration. Required attendance for seniors at Com meneement on Monday, May 31, will indeei be well-justified. This is the last formal cere mony for the senior. Speaker Clyde B. Aitch ison is a nationally known figure. A new system of marching has been initiated so that delays and confusions are avoided. # * # ERYTHING has been done to make these three occasions long-remembered eventf ul’ great importance. The administration lias done its part. The next move is up to the seniors. Sometimes an indolent non-interest has characterized their reception of these affairs in their honor. “Three times and out” is a Idlmt way ol stating the program of events left before graduation. But whole-hearted cooperation in spirit and attendance will make the luncheon. Baccalaureate, and Commencement things never forgotten by those participating. Miscellany MISSING THE POINT ENTIRELY Nice but riot likely to be very effective with a great many young people who are planning to enter some college next fall is the booklet published by the Interfraternity Council. It shows a great many pictures of the handsome fraternity and sor ority houses on the University of Oregon campus and supplies some information as, to living costs and interesting activities but it fails entirely to tell what is most important the rich offerings the University of Oregon presents which will help any young man or woman to find a useful and profit able career. Business the major work to train for any phase of business is offered by the School of Busi ness Administration. Law the University of Oregon law school is the leading law school of this state and one of the highest ranking schools in the country. Medicine pre-medical training for the Univer sity of Oregon Medical School, one el' the six great medieal schools in the country, is a vital part of the curriculum. Journalism the major work in preparation for every branch of newspaper, magazine or literary work is heie, and ttie sehool is a recognized leader. Education The major work to prepare for the teaching profession is offered here. Art the major art school of the state is here and the school, recognized by the Carnegie Founda tion as one of distinction, has been designated among all the art schools of the Pacific Coast foi special support. Architecture and landscaping- the major school of architecture in the state is here. Arts and letters major work in the state is offered here. Political and social sciences major work i conducted here by a distinguished faculty. Music Oregon s major school of music is on the University campus and its distinction in the field is recognized. Physical education outstanding on the Pacific t'oast is the major school at the University and with its new and complete plant it is offering new opportunities in this rapidly growing field. faculty the University faculty lists many men and women of national and international reputation and much might be said on this subject After all. most students still come to the t'ui versity for education, and though fraternities and sororities play a useful and important part in mak ing life pleasant and comfortable, they are only part of the comprehensive system of dormitories and cooperatives developed here Most of Oregon's students are partly or entirely self-supporting and the employment office imdet the able direction of Janet Smith is doing a remarkable work of guid ance and aid. If booklets arc necessary to .implement the dry and often bewildering pages of the state i italogue. something should be said about what the Univer se icatly offers. Oregon s young men and women do not need to travel tar for broad and progressive education. The schools of this state rank with the best, and for those who plan to hve and work in Oregon, there is a definite advantage in the asso ciations formed here. Eugene Register-Ouurd.

No Gardenias Rumor Causes Men to Protest Contrary to the beliefs of men who have been dated for Mortar Board that the florist should call them and inquire what they are wearing, women continued yes terday to order gardenias for their dates' lapels. AWS has taken over the task of sponsoring the drive in «the sorority houses, that women may be able to get a price on the white posies. A girl in each house has been appointed to act as representative. Men at desserts last night voiced a protest against some of their women who were not going to send flowers. “Here we have s^ent nearly .$100 this year for dinners, food, dancing, and espe cially corsages. We feel that our women can send us at least one flower during the year." So today the gardenia drive goes into its last day. Orders must be in to Betty Muschen by 5 o’clock. Menial Hygiene (Continued from page one) opment of personality and adjust ment of individual problems. The new course will be taught by Dr. Taylor, Dr. I,. F. Beck and whoever takes the place now filled by Calvin Hall. The course in gen eral psychology which is now taught by Dr. H. It. Crosland will be presented in the traditional manner. This course in mental hygiene is in the nature of an experiment. Dr. Taylor said it would be tried out next fall and if changes were need ed to make it a better course, they would certainly be made. Dr. Taylor went on to say: "In general, members of the psychol ogy department do not believe that a great deal of self-analysis is a desirable thing. What we do be lieve is, that understanding the psychological principals involved in making normal or sound adjust ments. with some insight into causes of undesirable habits of thinking and acting that lead to unsatisfactory adjustments,are im portant." The committee appointed by President Boyer to organize i course in mental hygiene is headed by Dean Krii \V. Allen. Others on the committee are: L. 1'. Beck. Kenneth Shumaker, John F. Bo vard. Fred Miller. Andrew Fish Leslie L Lewis, A F Motirsund. Karl \Y Outhank, J R. Jewell. The last ASUO presentation of the year will be held Monday when the well-known world traveler and author.

Greek Letters Get Handbooks Campus Information Is Put In Pocketbook Size; House Histories Told Members of Greek-letter organ izations received their first Pan Hellenic and Interfraternity hand books Tuesday. The handbook, edited l^y Vic Rosenfeld, is the first of its kind to be published on the campus. Statements were made in it ac companied by the pictures of Pres ident C. Valentine Boyer, Dean of Men Virgil Earl, Dean of Person nel Karl Onthank, Dean of Women Hazel P. Schwering, and Alumni Secretary Elmer Fansctt. A two-page map of the campus, fitted .11 the center of the book was drawn by Bob Colvig. Each house had an entire page devoted to a sketch of the house, the pin, and a write-up of the ac tivities, purposes, and history of the local chapter. These write-ups came directly from within the house, and were only edited by Pan-Hellenic and Interfraternity. Pictures of the Oregon Pioneer and Johnson hall filled one page, a list and explanation of the edu cational activities department, an other; and Oregon athletics, an other. Statements were made by Ed Reames, president of Interfrater nity and Virginia Regan, president of Pan-Hellenic. Assisting Rosenfeld with the publication were Miss Regan, Ed Reames, .lane Lagassee, Abe Wei ner, Phyllis Adams, and Dick Lit fin. Buchanan,. Anet Ideal Collegians Bobby Anet, Sigma Nu, here of basketball season last year, was announced yesterday by charm school of Philomelete as the most polite and considerate man on the Oregon campus. Gayle Buchanan, Kappa Kappa Gamma and AVVS president, was chosen the most charming woman. Hazel P. Schwering, dean of wo men, was selected the most charm ing faculty member. This selection was begun over a month ago. Each house sent in the name of the woman or man the members felt as their best candi date. These names were thinned down by an unknown committee of charm school, and released only yesterday. No awards are made. Only the recognition is given and the eyes of students for the rest of this year and year's to come watching them, trying to learn what constitutes charm, stated one member of the acting committee. Passing Show (Continued from puye one) day was not so peaceful. Friends close to the now Duke of Windsor said that he was prepared to fight persons in England who drove him off the throne into exile ’and now threaten the freedom of his brother, George VI.

Furrer, Eugene physician, last night addressed the mem bers of Sigma Xi science honorary on "The Medical and Social Aspects of Parasitology.” The whole subject is misunderstood he said, and the fact that para sitic diseases are so common today can be blamed only on the un healthful living conditions of humans. "If it weren’t for soap and water,” Dr. Furrer said, "all of us would UO Invites Public To NBC Broadcast Frank Branch Riley Will MC; Eugene Gleemen to Sing on Program With Hex Underwood, professor of music, as director, the Univer sity symphony orchestra will open the half-hour NBC broadcast in the music auditorium Sunday af ternoon at 1 :S0, playing the beau-; tiful and unforgettable Bach “Air | for G String.” The broadcast, with Frank Branch Riley, eminent Portland lecturer as master of ceremonies, is sponsored by the Oregon state highway commission. Governor Charles H. Martin will also appear on the program. The symphony orchestra, which will be leatured on an NBC broad cast for the third time this year, will also play the “Hungarian Dance, No. 5,” and the famous pre lude to the third act to Wagner’s I “Lohengrin.” John Stark Evans, with his Eu gene Gleemen will appear on the j broadcast. In addition to the pop ular “Hallelujah” from Beetho ven's “Mount of Olives,” “Where e'er You Walk,” the melodious Handel selection, will also be sung by the Gleemen.

In Eugene alone from 12 to 20 cases of ma laria are reported each year, while hook worm, trichinosis, syphillis, and typhoid make the problem of parasites dangerous indeed, he said. By boiling fresh vegetables that have been grown in truck gardens with the aid of human excrement, by cooking meat so as to kill para sites that have lodged in the tis sues, by refusing to swim in rivers which have faulty drainage, and by observing decent rules of sanita tion, the problem of parasites, and the diseases which they cause, would be practically eliminated, he said. Seabeck Picnic To Be Held Today Roadside Glen, 26 miles out of Eugene on the road to Florence will be the scene of the Seabeck picnic to be held today from 4:45 until 9 o’clock. Students planning to attend are asked to sign up at the Y hut be fore 10 o’clock. Transportation and food will be furnished.

Dean Onthank says the Eugene Chamber of Commerce would, in all probability, be glad to work hand in hand with such a com mittee to help present the Univer sity at its best to outsiders, visit ing groups, and delegates to the various conferences held on the campus thr oughout the school year. He reminds us that a committee can do a great deal, but that it needs the whole-hearted support of the student body, the staff, and the community, if it is to give visitors che best possible impres sion of the University.
