Emerald Copy Desk
Gift of Fifth Annual
Press Conference
A few Oregon publishers here for the twenty-first annual newspaper
press conference today and tomorrow will remember the time, 16 years
ago, when the members of the fifth meeting decided to give the school
of journalism some gift in appreciation of the services rendered tbe
group.
This gift, the large copy desk in the Emerald newsroom, has served
the school and the Oregon daily for many years and despite a few
Place in World for
Everyone, Girls Told
Syracuse Dean of
Women Guest
At AWS Assembly
“There’s a place in the world
for everyone. The important thing
is to discover what you can do
best and let that be your life
work,” stated Dr. Eugenia Leonard
at the AWS assembly yesterday
afternoon at Gerlinger hall.
Mrs. Leonard, for years dean of
women at Syracuse university,
told of the many vocational fields
open to women including merchan
dising, air-conditioning, market re
search, civil service, social work,
psychology, movies, radio, and
television work, as well as many
others.
Housekeepers Lose
Mrs. Leonard stated another fact
not generally known by saying
that married women who work are
more stable than housekeepers,
shown by the fact that there are
many more divorces a&ong those
who don’t work than among busi
ness women.
There are 27,000,000 women in
the United States over 15 years of
age of whom 22 per cent are busi
ness women and 11 per cent are
of the leisure class which includes
college women, she said. The rest
are married women who do not
have occupations.

good quality is remembered
every time you use your in
strument. Remember that
tone is what counts when
you are playing for the pub
lic or for your friends. If
your instrument hasn’t tone
quality it is disappointing to
you and more so to your
audience. I recommend the
musical instruments I sell for
their tone. For years I have
readjusted instruments and
improved their tone. I will
be pleased to serve you.

j Among the original donors of
the desk, only a few will be pres
ent for this, the twenty-first meet
ing. Many of the papers whose
names are inscribed on the bronze
plaque on the desk will of course
be represented but by different
men.
The plague bears the names of
59 Oregon newspapers. Officials of
the conference at the time were
Elbert Bede, president; Hal E.
Hoss, secretary; Robert W. Saw
yer, originator of the plan, Lee D.
Drake, president of the conference;
J. E. Shelton, representing the
daily newspapers, and Joe D.
Tomison, representing the weekly
newspapers.
No official check on how many
of these men will be present for
the meeting today could be made,
but University officials indicated
that at least two, Mr. Bede and
Mr. Drake are expected.
The inscription on the desk
reads: “Presented to the School
of Journalism of the University of
Oregon, Eric W. Allen, Dean, by
the Oregon State Editorial Asso
ciation at the Fifth Annual News
paper Conference, March 23, 1923
in appreciation of the cooperation
| and assistance rendered the news
papers of the State of Oregon.”
State Representative Mott, was
also introduced by Elisabeth Stet
son, president of the AWS.
This assembly was the first of a
series of forums and lectures spon
sored by the AWS and various
honoraries on vocational guidance.
The next will be January 31, spon

Suprise Gift Sent
Professor by Grad
Thacher Receives
'Address Unknown'
From Author
W. F. G. Thacher recently re
ceived a gift for which he found
himself utterly unable to account.
The gift, a copy of “Address Un
known,” critic praised short story
which has been just published in
book form, was signed by the au
thor, Kressmann Taylor.
Professor Thacher, being unabie
to remember ayone by that name
but suspecting that the donor was
a former Oregon student, checked j
with the alumni office to find out
if they could tell him something
that would identify the generous
author.
Grad of ’24
That office informed him that
Kressman Taylor had graduate
from the University in 1924 and
that her maiden name had been
Kathrine Kressmann. Professor
Thacher then realized that he had
known Miss Kressman during her
school days quite well.
On Jew Persecution
“Address Unknown” deals spe
cifically with the persecution of
the Jews by Nazi German officials.
It is situated partly in Germany
and partly in America. It has been
published by Simon-Schuster, fam
ous New York publishers.
Kathrine Kressman Taylor was
a campus leader during her school
days and held a number of offices
in campus organizations.
Name Chosen for
Business Honorary
Tau Delta Chi has been chosen
the name for the new business
honorary formed from the old
chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi, ac
cording to an announcement yes
terday by Luther Seibert, presi
j dent of the organization.
Pinal consent was received this,
! week from national headquarters
j that the Oregon chapter could be
i released from Alpha Kappa Psi to
form a new local chapter. The new
name signifies merchandising, ac
counting, and finance.
The first formal meeting of the
new group will be held next
Thursday in Gerlinger hall at 7:15
with Mr. Sig Seashore, Eugene at
torney, as speaker. The adoption of
a new constitution will be one of
the main items of business.
The group presented a skit yes
terday at the luncheon of the Eu
gene Credit association that they
will give on a radio program over
KORE sponsored by that associa
tion on February 2 at 7:00. It is
the same piay that was given over
KOAC last term over one of the
University broadcasts. There is a
possibility that this' play might be
given at a later time over a Port
land station, Seibert said.

Coed Garments Determine
Cover for Home-Grown
English Comp 'Best’ Text
It's a wager that not very many Oregon ferns know that they and
Oregon weather are alone responsible for the linen covers on English
comp textbooks.
Mut according to Dr. R. D. Horn, assistant professor of English
here, whose textbook, “Creative Writing for College Students,” was
recently awarded a place among the 50 best books of last year, it
was these two factors which nearlv caused a auarrel between him
and his collaborators on the cover
material.
Cover to Fit Climate
“Babcock (Professor Robert
Babcock of Wayne university) in
sisted upon a red cover,’’ Horn
recalled yesterday in discussing
the award, “but X persuaded him
that we should, have the natural
linen one because tlie Oregon girls
would ruin their clothes when the
red dye began to fade in a good
Willamette valley rain!”
Three men in three widely sepa
rated corners of America working
on a single book, with each coop
erating on every section, and yet
not seeing each other once during
the time it was written is no mean
feat, Dr. Horn admitted, but that
is what he, Babcock, and Professor
Robert English of Emory univer
sity accomplished in completing
their prize-winning volume.
“Bales and Bales”
“We sent bales and bales of
manuscripts during the five years
it took us to write the book,” Horn
said, “for we spared no pains to
attach with brutal frankness every
angle of each other's work.”
It is interesting to note, the pro
fessor remarked, “the three differ
ent environments and tastes which
we represent and how those three
differences combined to make a
better book.” Babcock he described
as a bachelor, formerly a cross
country runner from Harvard, who
is a man of action and likes ma
terial with “lots of punch.’’ Thus
it is for Babcock that “bear stories
and romance” are included.
Temperaments Differ
A Princeton background gave
Professor English his New York
accent, his formal and conserva
tive views, and his direct opposi
tion to the examples of “boy meets
girl” stories in the text. Dr. Horn
analyzed himself as one who likes
literature and music and the fine
arts, and claimed responsibility for
the famous selections from the
literary world which are given as
examples.
He promised it for the truth that
after he sent one bale of theme
i manuscripts to Professor Babcock,
the southern professor replied
heatedly — by airmail — that they
couldn’t use those examples be
cause they were too good. “It only
bore out my contention,” Dr. Horn
said, “that students out here write
much better and with more feeling
than those in other sections of the
country.” But nevertheless the
book contains many examples from
Oregon pens to exemplify how
themes should be written.
Dr. Horn teaches 11 months each
year at the University and his
courses cover most of the fields
of the English department—except
strangely enough, English com
posiiton. “That would be too em
1 barrassing!” he exclaimed. ,
Marital Mixup Pace
Hot in Private Lives'
By ELIZABETH ANN JONES
All the elements of comedy should result when an ex-husband and
wife meet on a summer evening . . . each on his own second honeymoon.
Noel Coward has developed this theme along ultra-modern lines into
highly amusing drama in “Private Lives’’ in which Kathleen MacAlear
and Eddie Hearn will co-star at the University theater February 3,
4, and 8.
Kay MacAlear, as Amanda Prynne, meets Eddie Hearn, as Elyot
Northwest Colleges
To Hold Joint Meet
Of PE Association
The PE club panel committee
met last night at the men's gym
nasium to plan its panel discussion
to be presented at the Northwest
district meeting of the American
association for health, physical
education, and recreation ,which
will he held on the campus some
time next spring.
The committee has sent invita
tions to other colleges of the Pa
cific Northwest to participate in
the panel. Letters of acceptance
have been received from the Uni
versity of Washington, Washing
ton State college, Oregon State col
lege, and Willamette university, A1
Bogue, club president said. Ac
ceptance is expected from several
others.
The members of the committee
are: A1 Bogue, chairman; A1 Long,
Edna Carlsen, Stuart Marsee,
Betty Eiesch, Margaret VanMatre,
and Beverly Young. The faculty
advisors for the committee are;
Dorthalee Horne and Henry Lloyd.
Paul A. Misch, Ohio State uni
versity student, has volunteered to
paint the campus tower clock free
of charge—so he’ll be able to read
the face from his room.

Chase, her ex-husband, on the ter
race over ' cocktails on the , first
night of their respective honey
moons. Action develops immediate
ly when the two admit that they
still love one another.
Coward Makes Tangle
Playwright Coward was not
satisfied, however, with such trifl
ing complications as an extra hus
band and wife as ary1 obstacle for
his play, but added the tempera
mental obstacle of a rousing quar
rel between Amanda just when
they had taken fate into their
hands and run away from their
new husband and wife.
They have just about decided
that their antipathy for one an
other is real, and that their love
had ended after all, when came
the astonishing discovery that the
two they left behind them were no
less humanly irritable than they.
Playwright Sees Weakness
Coward himself has said that the
chief weakness in the structure of
the play is in the rigidity of the
two supporting characters of the
cast, Sibyl Chase, played by Jean
ette Hoss, and Victor Prynnc,
played by Victor Koadman.
The only other member of the
cast is Amanda’s personal maid,
Louise, played, in the University
production, by Edith Ekstrom,
