Finally after the two men had about given up and decided to walk the aisle all night, the porters took out dividing partitions and fixed up two berths for each player. “It's the first time in my life that I've gotten to stretch my legs out, full length in a bed,” commented Win termute.—Washington Daily.

The elements of the “primary sex complex,’’ as Dr. Popenoe desig Corsages Still Out For Senior Ball, Chairman Sags Harry Lewis Band to Play; Valentines to Decorate Igloo Despite controversy over “to wear, or not to wear.” corsages to the annual Senior ball, scheduled for Saturday night at McArthur court and starring Harry Lewis and his “Sweet Swing”, the fourth year dance directorate is sticking by its recent decision that cor sages will be “out.” The reason given by Mel She vach .chairman of the affair, is that there are so many other for mal dances this term. “The Senior ball will be just as good without them,” he said yesterday. On Wednesday Fred Heidel, dec orations chairman, plans to start transforming the gloomy barren ness of the Igloo into a softly lighted dance palace. With the de parture of the Webfoot basketeers on a road trip, Heidel will have (Please turn to page two) Scholarships Offered Students of French The committee on undergraduate study in France of the Inistitute of International Education offers a limited number of $300 scholar ships for the year 1938-39.

He listed the biolog ical mating impulse, economic con siderations as represented by divi sion of labor in the home, com radeship in the sexual sphere, com radeship in the non-sexual or intel lectual sphere, and mutual interest in home and family as essential elements of successful love. “If you have anything less than that, then you haven’t enough,” Dr. Popenoe stated. Introduced by Hall Introduced at the special assem bly by Barney Hall, ASUO presi dent, Dr. Popenoe held an open discussion forum in Alumni hall at 11 o’clock.

Library Bound Students Follow Museum Gleam Night campus strollers enroute to the library are aided along their precariods way over the badly torn up walk past the Museum of Ariental Arts by the light from this building. As the walk has been depleted to such a dangerous state, the lights are being turned on in front of the museum every night to guide the people along the walk and to save them from pos sible injury which might result through a mis-step on the nar row strip which is the only part of the former sidewalk remain ing.

No definite action was taken concerning the library consolidation. The constitution, which is now in a revised form, will be posted in the commerce building, open to student criticism and offers of [ suggestion. It probably will be ac cepted at the student body assem bly next week. No actual date has been set for the assembly but the date will be decided upon and an nounced later. 3 Study Bank Move As it took longer to work over the constitution than was expect ed, no student opinions were ex | pressed in regards to the proposal i by the University to consolidate the BA library with the general library for economic reasons.

Uncle Hec Edmundson’s bovs are simnlv never out-driven two nights in a row, but Coach Hobson’s bombing Webfoots did it at the Igloo last night—the hard way. Trailing 53 to 44 with five and a half minutes left, and Hec's boys foxily stalling away precious mo ments, it looked like Orgeon’s nor thern division leadership and pos sible title hopes were going to take a stiff jolt. Pavalnnas Starts Rally Then in a flash, sophomore Matt Pavaluas—in for Bobby Anet who fouled out of the contest—touched it off with a howitzer swish from far out near the left sidelines. From then on in the Ducks went completely and unstoppably ber serk, scoring 12 points while the Washington lads failed to counter. The desperate Huskies got shots in the final moments but the pressure was too tough. Gales Raises Total Laddie Gale, the Oakridge hurri cane, added exactly 22 points to his northern division leadership, 16 in the first half, four of them in the final garrison finish when they were so important. He needs only 14 more to beat Wally Palmberg’s 16-game record. To the same pestiferous Pava lunas went honors for putting Ore ; gon out in front for the last time, j With but one minute and seconds ! left, and Washington leading, 53 to 52, the stocky Webfoot guard swished a one-hander through the net from near the right corner. Gale Sinks Two It was a pale crowd of Oregon supporters that watched Washing ton miss two rebound shots in the last fleeting 25 seconds, but the steady, long arms of Laddie Gale fittingly saved the day with two well-placed foul conversions on Pat Dorsey’s foul.

Valentine Boyer left Monday for Boise, Idaho, to attend an educational conference which will include presidents of state universities from the entire west coast area. The conference will discuss the possibility of establishing depart ments in universities to offer prep aration for the administration of state federal security programs. In addition to the university presidents, the meeting will be attended by state relief adminis trators from many of the states, who will be prepared to offer prac tical advice. The feeling that there is a need for specific train ing in the administration of relief gave rise to the meeting, with the possibility that a new field of uni versity work will be offered. Such an addition to the university would probaBly be under the school of social science. Dr. Boyer will return Friday. Men Growing More Chaste, Girls Less So, Say Doctors That recent trends indicate that men are becoming more chaste and girls less so, was the opinion voiced yesterday by Dr. Paul Popenoe, visiting lec turer, following an open forum meeting in Gerlinger hall. Commenting on an article ex pressing the beliefs of Dr. Wil liam Cary, obstetrician in a New York hospital, Dr. Popenoe said, ‘‘The increasing tendency of men to remain chaste while there is a decreasing tendency for women to remain that way until marriage, is being Noticed by many authorities on this sub ject. While this change in , trends has been noticeable over a period of years, it has not been studied enough yet to be fully explained.” Women Experiment Dr. Cary attributed his state ments to the tendency of uni versities to give girls a wider knowledge of pre-marital re lationships without telling them of the “emotional entangle ments” resulting from sex ex periences. Another aspect, he said, was that woman’s “new freedom” urges her on to expe rimentation. Your college men, on the oth er hand, are tending to become more continent, he said, because of the belief that sex experience curbs athletic ability. Dr. Cary said: “I am con stantly finding young male col lege graduates about to marry who have had no sexual expe rience. This is not true of the young women. Most mature col lege women have had thi3 ex perience before marriage. Says Continence ltare “It is a well-recognized fact among investigators that sex ual continence among young college women is the exception rather than the rule now. Many college courses now be ing offered in social hygiene give modern theories on sex ed ucation, the article stated, but they fall short of a complete rounded course by taking away the fear of experimentation on the part of the girl, whereas a complete education in this field would involve the dangers of the emotional phases. Past Restrictions Blamed One of the reasons given for the changing conditions is that women have been so restricted in the past in their sexual life that with the new social free lorn they are plunging toward sxperimentation. ‘‘In the first year of college the home influence still pre vails,” Dr. Cary said. “In the second year the girls begin ob serving and growing more in terested. Sexual experience is most likely to begin about the junior year.” ! i Prexy Timber W. F. G. Thacher ... boosted for national Alpha Delta Sigma bead.

More than 150 invitations have been issued. Girls with 3-point av j erages or over who have not re ceived invitations are urged by Elizabeth Turner, president of ! Mortar Board, to come, as it is possible that some names may have been omitted from the list. To Be Annual Affair The Smarty Party, which was held for the first time last year, proved so popular that the group plans to make it an annual event.

Japanese Consul Will Speak at YMCA The talk by the Japanese con ! sul, Kwan Yoshida, to be given at the International Relations club meeting tonight at the YMCA hut, should be of material interest to students and faculty members, ac cording to Dean Victor P. Morris, school of business administration and the club’s faculty member. Kwan Yoshida was recently sta tioned at Portland and is well acquainted with Japan’s policies in the Sino - Japanese situation, he said. I The Japanese consul, accom panied here by Dr. Burt Brown Barker, vice-president of the Uni versity, will be the guest of the Faculty club at a dinner tonight, preceding the meeting. Marriage Course Proposed for Study As a result of the love and marriage series held on the campus thi syear, a student-faculty committee met in alumni hall at the con clusion of Dr. Paul Popenoe’s lectures Tuesday afternoon and dis cussed the possibility of instituting a course on marriage relations in the University’s curriulum, whih will be deided at ac subsequent meeting. It is the opinion of Dr. Popenoe that no only one course should uc iii.-uaucu uui liictl cvci^ ucpa.it” ment in the University should treat marriage relations in the phase with which it deals. For an example, in psychology, points should be brought out and dis cussed which deal with personal reactions that either make or break a successful marriage. Used Elsewhere These courses are being tried to some extent in every university and college in the United States but they are all largely in the experi mental stage. Stanford recently put in a course which is limited to upperdivision students only and the course has become so popular that it is signed up for two years in advance. To start such a course, Dr. Pop enoe would advocate a three-term subject which would attempt to cover all phases: economic, per sonal, and the sexual aspects of marriage. This course would serve as the opening wedge to the grad ual spread of the topic throughout the curricula. “The most adequate man in the university should be picked to han dle the proposed material without regard to the department he is in at present,” stated Dr. Popenoe. 'Stage Door' Cast To Be Named; Sets Being Constructed Announcement will be made to morrow of the complete cast of “Stage Door” which is to be the next University theater production under the direction of Horace W. Roibnson. Work on the play was started even before “Ah! Wilderness” opened, and Mr. Robinson’s set is already under construction. Play ing dates have not been definitely decided upon, but the opening will be set to fall as nearly as possible on the play’s release for amateur production. _ Army Head to Talk On City Social Work Social problems of Eugene will be discussed at Westminster house tomorrow at 9 p.m. Adjutant Clarence Fori of the Salvation army will be tile discus sion leader.
