Smoking Room
Is College Base,
Leacock Says
By ALYCE ROGERS
“If I were founding a university
—and I say it with all the serious
ness of which I am capable—I would
found first a smoking room; then
when I had a little more money in
hand I would found a dormitory;
then after that, or probably with
it, a recent reading room and a li
brary. After that, if I still had
money over that I couldn’t use, I
would hire a professor and get
some textbooks.”
-—Stephen Leacock.
Deffy Definishuns . . .
Smoke: Stuff which when it gets
in your eyes is a song from Ro
berta.
Weekend: Something one waits
five days for.
Frat Pin: That which makes an
ugly male look handsome.
Night Work: That which silly
people think students do.
Notebook: That which one loses
■when full.
—Silver and Gold.
Ban on Women ...
You can put your feet on the
desks and smoke, but you can’t
use your gal for inspiration in the
law library at the University of
Texas.
Closing one eye—or maybe both
—to the ruling that girls are not
supposed to visit the library with
out special permission, potential
Blaekstones have been taking along
sweet young things to rest their
eyes when looking up from usty
law tomes.
However, gals will be gals, and
that means they will be noisy, so
Ira P. Hildebrand, dean of the
school of law, posted the ruling
and demanded strict observance.
Of course, if one just can’t digest
law without a young lady to soothe
the fevered brow, permission can
be obtained to bring her along.

Mail Students to Get
Individual Tutoring
Extension Division to
Send Out Members
Of Staff
Oregon’s extension school is plan
ning an innovation which will pro
vide correspondence students with
the advantages of a teacher’s guid
ance, according to Miss Mozelle
Hair, head of correspondence work.
The new plan, which was tried as
an experiment in the Coos county
district, retains the individual
studying method, hut provides
that a member of the staff meet
with the correspondence students
three times a year.
Miss Hair believes that the
principal disadvantage of the
“lone-wolf” method of correspon
dence work is the lack of discus
sion and the resulting bias and
narrowness of view.
The new plan was started when
a number of Coos county teachers
taking a course called “curriculum
construction” were found. W. G.
Beattie, associate professor of edu
cation, was sent there.
Historic, Futuristic
Brides Will Parade
“Here Comes the Bride, Look at
her Stride," will float from the
portals of the music building Feb
ruary 17 when the campus YWCA
presents “Wedding Belles," a pag
eant of colonial, modern, and fu
turistic nuptials.
Phi Beta trio will furnish music
for the colonial wedding party, and
Miss Barbara Ward will present a
solo. Music chairman for the af
fair is Eleanor Hays.
Prominent students on the cam
pus will be selected to portray the
brides, grooms, et al.
This is not the first time an
event of this kind has ben held . . .
a similar program was given in
1934.
A feature of the evening will be
a prize awarded to the one wear
ing the oldest authentic wedding
dress.

Fund-Raising Survey
To Be Conducted;
Pep Squad Change
Slated by Hall
Naming of a committee to
study the ways and means to
secure a student union for the
University and action on the
proposed rally reform plan will
' come before the ASUO execu
tive committee today, Prexy
Barney Hall announced last
night.
The committee, to be compos
ed of four or five students, will
make a survey of the way other
universities on the coast have
raised money to build the union.
Oregon’s buildings will not have
to be very expensive, according to
Hall and Dean Onthank, although
provision may be made for addi
tions to be made to it at a later
date. A fund available for the cen
tral activities building at present
contains $33,000.
Rally Reforms Coming
Reforms for the rally committee
will probably be forthcoming to
morrow, with some plan being
made to have the ASUO take
charge of a few of the basketball
game half-time periods, Hall said.
Suggested plans to bring the
committee under the financial con
trol of the ASUO, to change the
appointment time of the rally di
rector, to extend the time the com
mittee functions to cover other
sports besides football, will be
taken tip in the meeting.
Scientific Displays
Scheduled forWeek
Irwin A. Moon, owner of one
of the largest private scien
tific displays in the world, will give
a demonstration in science in the
First Baptist church, throughout
the week. Each program will be
gin at 7:15 o’clock.
An electrical display will be the
feature of each illustrated lecture.
The inaudible vibration of a solid
wall will become a loud roar
through powerful high-gain am
plifiers, which amplify feeble
sounds, 1,250,000 times.
These are some of the many
things that students and citizens
will be interested in seeing and
! hearing. Mr. Moon will demon
strate the discharging of 1,000,000
volts through the human body. He
will float metal in space, show tiny
living creatures increased in area
more than two million times, mov
ing like prehistoric monsters on a
screen, and demonstrate that dull
gray rocks can become glowing
jewels under a 20,000-volt iron
arc, sponsors of the program said.
The rush of molecules inside a
bar of steel will be heard, and a
voice recorded inside a tiny thread
of steel. Students will see and
hear voices projected on a beam
of light.
Discussion Group
Talks in Portland
On Labor Problem
Three members of the public
discussion gToup of the Univer
sity speech department went to
Portland Monday^, where they
spoke on the “Labor Problem’’ be
fore the chamber of commerce.
Cooperation between capital and
labor, whom he termed the “Sia
mese twins of industry,” was
urged by Kessler Cannon. He said
capital should favor strong unions
to give stability to business, while
unions should develop sounder or
ganization, leadership, and fewer
abuses.
Howard Kessler spoke on the
problem in relation to the future,
and pictured a condition where
neither capital or labor should be
supreme.
Zane Kemler traced the growth
of the present labor difficulties.
ASUO Board Planning
'Big Time' Production
Of 'Peer Ggnt Suite'
Horace Robinson to Direct Super-Spectacle
In McArthur Court; Hundreds to Take Part
In Dancing and Action
By BUD JERMAIN
Probably the largest-scale undertaking ever attempted in
any production on this campus will be the spring term presenta
tion of “Peer Gynt Suite’’ by a cast listing more than 120
persons, and including the University symphony orchestra, at
least 20 dancers, and a strong dramatic personnel.
The announcement was released yesterday of this production, a
presentation of the ASUO under the auspices of the educational
activities board. Plans for the production had been well-defined before
the dropped all-campus musical was suggested, but definite confir
mation of the project was not released until this time.
Characterized as a ‘‘super-spectacle’’ by director Horace W. Robin
son of the drama department, the staging of the production will occupy
the whole east end of McArthur court, from floor to top of the bowl.
Board Approves Production Plans
With the board having already placed the stamp of approval on
the plans for the production, editing of the script has already begun,
according to Mr. Robinson, with casting to follow as soon as possible.
Dancing and orchestra casting will be handled by Miss Paasikivi and
Rex Underwood, dance and musical directors respectively.
“Peer Gynt suite will undoubtedly be the biggest thing the campus
has seen,’’ was Mr. Robinson’s qualification. “It has more artistic
merit than anything yet attempted, and it is big enough to look at
“Peer Gynt suite” is a poetic drama with incidental music, the
theme being based on Ibsen’s famous work of the same name. It is
commonly given as drama alone, without the music, according to
Robinson, only the more ambitious productions of it using the music.
Music, Dancing Elements of Presentation
This symphony concert, dance recital, and dramatic offering all in
one includes 7 dance numbers and several presentations of the Uni
versity symphony orchestra. The music and dancing are worked into
the whole, and play a significant role in the production, according to
Robinson.
Release of Robinson from his duties in the drama department has
already been approved, so that he will be able to devote his full time
to the staging of this production. Assisting Robinson in the directing
will be Walden Boyle, also of the drama department.
Pallett Voiced Board’s Enthusiasm
The enthusiasm of the board for the production was voiced yester
day by Chairman Earl M. Pallett, who said that the board is whole
heartedly behind the project. “A production which fits the building,”
was his designation.
Although the spectacle will be in production for more than two
months there will be only one presentation of the suite, as far as is
now known.
The latter part of April was given as the approximate time at which
the production would be ready, but no definite date has been approved.
Quiz Shows Women
Bluff More Than Men
Which, as a general class, is more sincere—men or women? Who
are the biggest “bluffers”?
An experiment along this line was conducted recently by John J.
Landsbury, dean of the school of music, in a quiz given his class in
appreciation of music.
Because the class has never been asked to purchase a textbook,
and is seldom asked to attend a concert for which admission is charged,
uean Landsbury thought it tair
enough to ask his appreciation
class to attend the recent concert
program of the University sym
phony orchestra, with George Hop
kins, Jane Thacher, and Aurora
Potter Underwood featured.
Stressing the interest of the un
usual program, he spent the last
day before the concert discussing
the concert.
At the program, he noticed that
of his class of sixty-nine students,
only a few were present. Questions
were then given the class in the
form of a quiz, the answers to
which could not possibly be given
by one who was not there.
Answers Bluffed
Some of the questions brought
forth amusing, if obviously bluffed,
answers, Dean Landsbury sail.
“Why did Hopkins enter the stage
from the right, causing disturbance
and confusion among the orches
tra, when the other soloists entered
from your left?” The answer is,
he did not. But some student,
stuck for an answer said, “He
wanted to attract attention in the
audience.” Another, “It is ethical
for a man to enter on that side,
and women on the other side.”
"Between what numbers did the
brasses of the orchestra move down
in front of the cellos?” queried
Dean Landsbury. “Between the
first and second,” bravely guessed
some. “Between the second and
third,” chanced others. Correct
answer: The brasses did not
change places with the cellos.
“Was Mrs. Thacher’s dress light

I Plans of BA Student
Body Rounding Out
Constitution Approval
Is Chief Business of
Tuesday Meeting
Student body approval of their
constitution and discussion of the
proposed consolidation of the BA
library with the main library will
be carried out at the second BA
student body assembly Tuesday
night.
The student committee has al
ready approved the constitution
and it will be put to a student vote
for acceptance at the assembly.
Originally planned for Thursday
evening, the asembly had to be
moved to next week to avoid a con
flict with the junior class assem
bly, said Harry Hodes, committee
chairman.
For some time the University
has considered moving the BA li
brary to the main library. Such a
proposal will go through unless op
position is raised by the business
students. The BA students will
have the chance to voice an opinion
on the matter at the assembly. If
enough opposition is shown, a peti
tion will be raised among the stu
dents to prevent the consolidation.
If the constitution meets student
approval, the governing officers
will be nominated at the following
assembly, and elected the first of
spring term.
The forming of the constitution
presents the first steps in the or
ganization of the school. If this
separate type of organization is a
success other schools may follow
suit.
