The Backseat Driver imniiiiiiiiiiimaniiimminnmmimmnnimiiiimnmiimnmiiiiiiiiiiiniimiiiimiw By MARTHA STEWART The train was six hours late. Scheduled to arrive shortly after 9 in the morning, the grey-black pullman ..bearing ..Oregon’s ..new president, Dr. ..Donald . M... Erb, chuffed into the station at precise ly ten and one-half minutes after 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon. There was a moment of indecis ion while the group of faculty members and friends of Dr. Erb’s who were awaiting his arrival hes itated over which end of the train he would step from; And then as the cars slowed to a stop, Ore gon’s ..seventh ..president, ..smiling ^genially after a tedious six-hour delay, alighted to shake hands with the assembled dignitaries. There were greetings and intro ductions and then Dr. Erb con sented to stand for a picture with Dr. Boyer and Dr. Hunter. New president, late president, and chan cellor stood side by side talking informally while Camera -man George Godfrey caught their im ae-es. A moment later the three stepped into Dr. Hunter's car and were whisked away. Thus the arrival of Dr. Donald1 M. Erb as president of the Univer sity of Oregon. An honest welcome to you, Dr. Erb. May your stay here be a long and pleasant one! Two nights ago I hastened li brary-ward, armed to file teeth with one volume of Achorn’s his tory (Dr. Marder, Modern Europe, 11 Monday, Wednesday, and Fri day). and one volume of Econom ics (Dean Morris, 9 Monday, Wed nesday, and Friday), and filled with a purpose. I was just enter ing the noble portals of the build ing when a light touch on my arm arrested me and I.turned to find * i myself confronted by a small in dividual in a bright red coat hold ing out to me a somewhat greasy looking manila bag. “Nice home-made candy,” she wheedled. “C’m on ’nd buy some.” , The young lady was in the neigh borhood of ten, and I felt some doubt as to the likelihood of her working her way through college by this commercial venture. How ever, I fumbled momentarily in my purse and fetched forth a couple of coins, whereupon she deposited the sack in my extended hand and I carried it and my burden of books ^iiiiiiuiiiimiiiiiiiiitiiiiiuiiimiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiniiiiitiNiiiiiuiiiiumiiiiiuiiiiiii^ The Smartest of New Styles I in APOLDA SKI SUITS JACKETS TROUSERS 1 CAPS - SOCKS j and | ACCESSORIES j | as shown in the McDonald | | Theater are featured in | | our Ski Department.

High Hat Libe Small But Has Best Sellers mnmiiminiii:iiiiiHn<tminiiiii:miimiim«muiiiinitmiii!iuii:iigiuiiHiimuimiu By JEAN GU LOWS ON The High Hat lending library is a small, cozy niche in the back of the Co-op book store. An easy chair and a table covered with the latest best-sellers taunt the hurried and charm the idler. Many Books Offered “Approximately eight hundred., and fifty new books are here, and it really is an excellent library for its size," explained attractive Mrs. Elsie Belknap, whose duty it is to select the books. She chooses them from advance re ports of publishers, publishers' weeklies, various book .reviews, and salesmen. Anyone particu larly desiring a book may have it ordered for the library collec tion unless it is of too specialized a nature to be of general inter est. Wide Variety to Be Found Because the library serves pri marily University students and faculty members, it has a high quality of fiction, all the latest plays appearing on Broadway and many of the best recent biographies. In addition there is a miscellaneous collection of poetry, travel, history, criticism, and a limited amount of social and physical science. Humorous and mystery stories are the most popular types of fiction. Reasonable Rates Charged Non-fiction books rent for 5 cents a day and fiction for 3 cents. However, payment of a dollar membership fee gives un restricted use of any of the books without further charge for the term. As the books become old er, they are collected and sold for amounts ranging from 25 cents to $1. “But we are glad to have peo ple come in and read without feeling obligated to rent or buy books,” explained Mrs. Belknap. into the library to do my bit of studying. Some two hours later I came forth from the opposite entrance to find myself again accosted. This time it was by a tall, masculine creature carrying a portable alum inum grill complete with hot-dogs, buns and mustard. He gave a def inite impression of having strayed by accident from some shouting stadium never to return. And again I bought. But the thing was beginning to rankle in my soul. It seemed to me that an honest coed or co-eddie for that matter (whose pocketbook has the appearance of having been run over by a steam-roller) just hasn't a chance. What.with dough nut sales and popcorn sales and karmel apple sales. What with be ing approached here to buy a wool yarn doll and there to shell out your sheckles for a brownie. Well! what is there to do? Because if you say “Nix, I don’t want any,” they' make nasty hiss ing sounds about your lack of sportsmanship and why aren't people a little more public-spirited. And if you sayr, “No. Karmel ap ples give me the tummy-ache and I don’t like doughnuts” they come back with 'Well, buy one for your friends.” And if you say, “Huh-uh. I got no moil',” why then they shake their heads and say, “Poor girl. Hardly has enough to live on.” And all your friends start taking up a collection. Again . . . What is one to do?

Dr. Jameson believed that his students should sec many of the different types of demented indi viduals, and as a result the field trip covered three institutions: the Fairvicw home for feeble-minded and epileptics, the state peniten tiary, and the state hospital, which gave a special clinic for the class. A presentation of cases in per son, and an analysis of many of these made so that the students might more fully understand the mental abnormalities which had direct relation to crime conditions. many raranoics Among types viewed were para noiacs, several with dcmentia praecox, and a number of paretics (people suffering from syphillis of the brain and spine.) Commenting on the inmates of the Fairview home, Freed Bales, senior in social science, declared: “The miserable lives produced by our social laxities are perhaps Loo well hidden from us. If every per son in the state could sec with his own eyes the pitiable and revolt ing results of the marriages of feeble-minded and ‘socially diseas ed,’ 1 feel sure that there would be revisions in our laws concerning marriage, sterilization, and eutha nasia." At the state hospital aud peni tentiary, the students saw many ; strange cases. There were consti tutional psychopaths, others who became criminals because of injury received in childhood or in the late adolescence period, drug addicts, sex perverts, dope peddle r s, thieves, and murderers.

Some of the strangest cases were those who had senile-dementia, or premature old age, said Dr. Jame son. Betty Pownall, another senior in social science, was shocked at many of the things she saw. “The state hospital of insane was the most interesting,” she said, “al though inmates there were receiv ing the best treatment, it seemed strange that so much money could be spent on those demented people. There were some very pitiful cases, especially the ones who did not realize their positions and tried to show off.” VV.VSHKK REPRESENTS (1TV Representing the city of Eugene, Paul R.
