f 'Self Quizzes,

Ability at B U
By ALYCE ROGERS
A new idea on quizzes was re
ported in The New York Times a
few days ago. At Boston Univer
sity’s college of business adminis
tration students were passed a
piece of blank paper and asked to
write down their own questions
and answer them.
“The purpose was,” the profes
sor said, “to find out what the
students did not .know, that is,
what they did not ask themselves,
and to see by their questions how
they rated the relative importance
of the material which the test
covered.

'Gotta Get Good Grub'
Say Those LivingOut
By DOROTHY BURKE
“The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach,” may be applied
to both men and women on the Oregon campus as shown by the many
men and women students living “off the campus.” Food seems to be
jne of the important items in batching rather than living in frater
nities or living organizations provided for them by the University.
Records show that 652 of the 1971 men students enrolled in the
Dark Horse
Revealed in
Beard Battle
A gross injustice has been
done.
The name of a leading con
tender for top honors in the
soph “whiskerin^” was not men
tioned in the list of possible con
tenders.
Due to this injustice this un
named person, who is said to
have the scraggliest, the black
est, and the toughest looking
beard on the campus, will be
hereafter known only as the
“dark horse" contender.
The dark horse's manager re
ported that by next Friday his
contestant will have a beard that
will put General U. S. Grant’s
famous crop of whiskers to
shame. He also let it be known
that the dark horse's beard is
being guarded carefully against
| any would-be conspirator who
might shave it off.

boarding houses, or in apartments.
This includes the 208 fraternity
members out of 856 who do not
live in the house. Only 262 men
are living in the dormitory and 101
in the cooperative houses.
Of the 1095 girls registered in
the University last term, 395 of
these arte living independently in
boarding houses, with relatives, at
home or batching in apartments.
The sororities accomodate 470 girls
while 146 live in the two dormi
tories and 74 in the Co-ops.
Many girls who are living out
and batching for economic reasons
say that with two girls living to
gether the total expenses per girl
can be cut to $18 a month or less.
“I prefer my own cooking,” was
the repeated answer of the many
men students who were asked to
state their reasons for batching.
They all agreed however, that the
financial saving of batching was
the essential reason, as a person
can live as cheaply as $15 a month
this way. It can even be done much
cheaper but as one of them ad
mitted, “It is not living, it is only
existing.”

Knife for Papa.
Once Pledged
Youth's Troth
Today, when a man woos a
maid, he .woos her; and if she
doesn’t “foo” him, he keeps on
wooing her until something
comes of it, i.e., after much ef
fort pro and con and with her
consent he marries her. Things
were much simpler than this in
Oregon several centuries ago
when an Indian brave wished to
marry. All he needed was a red
“knife,” which he would hand
over to the girl’s father in return
for his daughter’s hand.
The knives served as a means
of distinguishing the wealthy
from others.
Black knives as well as red
ones were used, although they
were not as valuable. Whenever
a man of wealth and importance
died in an Indian community,
several knives were buried with
him. A great many of these
“knives,” both red and black, are
now in the University museum
of natural history which opened
January 20.

She began taking regular lessons
at the age of five, and while very
young went to Europe to continue
her study with the best of teachers.
Started Training Early
She was the youngest student
under the tutelage of Theodor Les

The young musician underwent
a period of intense study from Les

Wall Board Being
Tested ior Sound
An acoustical board with a high
degree of sound absorbency is being
tested in the office of Dr. Will V.
Norris in Deady hall, workmen
yesterday covering the ceiling of
the room with the board.
The board, which sells at a mini
mum cost, is being tried out with a
view toward possible future adop
tion for classroom use. Such a
medium practically eliminates
echoes and permits undistorted
;ransmission of sound.

Bottles of'Grade A'
Written Protest Brinqs Half-Pint Portions of
Same Quality Milk; Less Variety in
Butterfat 'Cream' Content
Hall residents who protested Monday against "thin milk” served
at meals were greeted with individual half pint bottles of “Grade A"
milk at lunch yesterday.
Serving milk in individual containers did not constitute a change
in the grade, Mrs. Genevieve Turnipseed, director of dormitories said.
Fishy Aroma
In Johnson Is
Only Lobster
No, the drama department
hasn’t started a fish cannery
within their cramped quarters.
That pungent aroma comes from
the lobsters used in the produc

opens Friday night at 7 p.m.
Passers-by in the lower hall
way of Johnson hall in the last
few days have noticed that
"fishy" odor which emanates
from the stage entrance to Guild
hall. The odor is much more no
ticeable on the stage and in the
drama office.
The script of the play, how
ever, calls specifically for not
only the eating of lobster but
also for blue fish, so smell or
no smell the play is going to be
authentic.
Silverton Is Visited
By U of 0 Speakers
Members of the public discussion
group visited Silverton Monday
night, where they presented a sym
posium on ‘‘Industrial Conflict.”
The program was given twice
during the afternoon, to the Silver

W. A. Dahlberg, professor of the
speech department, was in charge
of the trip.
Students participating were
Louis Rotenberg, Kessler Cannon,
Howard Kessler, and Zane Kemler.
Elsie Eschebeck sang a group of
solors as an added attraction.
Myrtle Creek will be the next
town visited by one of the discus
sion groups. Four speakers and
John L. Casteel, head of the speech
department, will visit there Friday.
‘‘The Farm Problem” is the top
ic to be presented to the Myrtle
Creek high school in the afternoon
and the grange during the eve
ning. Charles Devereaux, Dean El

Proiect Is Added
To Building List
A project to lay 880 feet of sewer
line from the basement of the
men’s dormitory to a main line
Tripp, William McKinney, Elwin
has been added to the list of cam
pus WPA projects.
Work has already started on the
digging, which necessitates the
breaking of considerable street
pavement. In some places the
ditch will have to go down as
much as 16 feet in order to reach
drainage level, according to Al
bert Anderson, foreman. The line
will be in 10-inch tile.

served with grade A milk, although
objections to thinness might have
come from those who received
milk from the bottom of the cans
from which the milk was formerly
served, she declared.
Grade A Served
The bottled milk was served to
all dormitory diners.
Men who objected to the matter
in letters to Chancellor Frederick
M. Hunter and President-elect
Donald M. Erb seemed satisfied
with the change.
“At least we are assured of get
ting cream with our milk,” they
said.
Former Method Told
Milk for the dormitories was re
ceived in large cans, the top cream
was mixed with the milk before it
was served. Insufficient mixing or
settling before serving might have
caused thinness in milk at the bot
tom of the cans, Mrs. Turnipseed
said.
“We are serving the same grade
of milk now that we served be
fore,” she said.

Invading Beavers
Oregon State’s sophomore hoop

came through and won on a long
shot by Clyde “Corky” Carlson, co
captain of the WSC team.
Merle Kruger converted a free
throw with one second remaining
ir the game, to tie the score, 39 to

Tony Romano’s shot gave the
Beavers a half-time lead of 16 to

Chancellor to
Make Study of
Fees Question
Proposed Tuition
Increase Causes
Board to Tie-Vote;
Action Deferred
(Special to Oregon Daily
Emerald)
PORTLAND, January 25. —
Chancellor Frederick M. Hunt
er was asked by the state board
of higher education in meeting
here today to study further a
plan for a raise in tuition fees
from $10 to $12 per term to be
effective next fall.
The suggested raise, to be levied
on undergraduates, came from the
board’s finance committee and met
immediate opposition by several
board members.
A move to amend the finance
committee’s report and refer the
proposal back for further study
was made by R. W. Ruhl. A vote
showed F. E. Callister, E. C.
Pease and Ruhl voting to refer,
and E. C. Sammons, W. E. Pear
son, and C. A. Brand voting against
the amendment.
First Tie Vote
It was the first tie vote taken
by the board for several meetings.
President W. L. Marks broke the
tie by voting for the raise to be
referred. One member, Mrs. Bea
trice W. Sackett, was not present
for the vote and Herman Oliver,
member of the finance committee
did not vote.
Although the matter was placed
in the chancellor’s hands without
additional discussion, it was learned
that very decided views were tak
en on the raise. Some members
felt that students should be willing
to take a heavier burden in meet
ing the financial needs of the edu
cation system, while others were
opposed to it on the grounds that
Oregon’s students in the higher
learning institutions carry more
than other schools on the coast.
Psychological Love,
Maturity Talk Topics
Dr. Beck Will Lecture
Tonight in Third of
Marriage Series
Touching: upon the “Psychologi
cal Aspects of Marriage,” Dr. F. L.
Beck of the psychology department
will address students tonight at 8
o’clock in Villard assembly for the
third lecture of the Love and Mar
riage series.
His speech will deal with the es
sential development of love as an
emotion and the different phases
through which the individual goes
as he matures.
Attempting to show the opera
tions of psycho-mechanism such
as projection and the mental dis
cord that it produces in married
life with the effort that must be
made to overcome them will make
up the content of the speech.
“In marriage relationships, it is
incredible how often one attributes
to anothex what actually is a pro
jection of their own deficiency.”
Dr. Beck said.
Faculty, Students
To Hold Thursday
Tea in Gerlinger
Don’t let the name “faculty cof
fee” scare you out. The affair
known by this name includes stu
dents, too. The second faculty cof
fee of the year sponsored by the
AWS will be held Thursday after
noon, January 27, from 4 to 5 in
Gerlinger lounge. It is arranged
