All-Oregon College
Conference Ends
Federatioh of Collegiate Leaders Close
First Meet Saturday; ASOSC Prexy
Elected President of Group
With a list of accomplishments behind it as long as a congressional
calnedar, the first all-state conference of college student leaders in
Oregon higher education history came to a successful close Saturday.
Emerging from the two sessions with a name and a group of
officers, the conference left the experimental stage behind it. From
last Saturday it is the Oregon Federation of Collegiate Leaders, with
ASOSC Prexy Bob Walker as its
elected president.
Relations Discussed
Other officers elected by the
group were, vice-president, Russ
Hays, president of the University
of Portland student body; secre
tary, Neil Shaffer, president of the
Willamette university student
body.
The two days at Corvallis were
spent in covering a dozen phases of
student government, with the dele
gates airing their problems and
telling of the systems in use at
their own schools. Groups included
student-faculty relations, publica
tion, social activities, finances, and
methods of stimulating greater
student participation.
Weston From Oregon
It was decided in the course of
the discussions that students
should use a little more diplomacy
in dealings with faculty. However,
faculty domination was also de
cried.
ASUO Prexy Harry Weston, who
with AWS President Elisabeth
Stetson represented the University
of Oregon for the session, gave
ASOSC President Bob Walker a
hearty pat on the back for his
organization and direction of the
conference. The whole thing was
Walker's doing, and Weston turned
in a highly favorable report of the
way he did the job.
Small Schools Benefit
The bringing together of leaders
from so many Oregon colleges was
especially beneficial to the smaller
institutions, Weston indicated,
while at the same time it “didn’t
do the bigger schools any harm
either.” Small-school problems
Weston cited were lack of inter
fraternity councils to keep Greek
letter houses in cooperation, and
faculty domination.
One definite stand taken by the
new federation was in favor of
compulsory Wasserman syphillia
tests for all college students in the
state. The federation also de
nounced faculty censorship of col
lege newspapers, -favored open
forums for discussion of student
activities and finances, urged in
creased student fees for women’s
athletics, favored intercollegiate
social programs, and wider indi
vidual student participation activ
ities.
Stetson Gets Ideas
AWS President Elisabeth Stet
son said of her participation that
she “got a lot of ideas for AWS,”
as well as other ideas on student
government in general. She attend
ed only the Friday sessions.
Weston returned before dinner
Saturday night for the military
ball in Gerlinger.
Next year’s meeting will be on
the Willamette university campus
at Salem, with the University of
Oregon probable choice for the fol
lowing year.
Coeds Visit
Mexico, Sweden
In YW Group
Remember the childhood game
of playing trains, boats, going
to the far corners of the earth?
In somewhat the same manner
a group of coeds are planning to
visit many strange lands.
Mexico has been visited al
ready; Sweden is the next stop.
Here’s how it’s done.
Meeting on the second and
fourth Wednesday each month at
the YW bungalow, the girls pre
pare and eat dishes of the coun
try they have chosen. Directing
them is a girl who knows well
the “real menus” of the country.
After the meal, the total cost
is figured up and the expenses
divided among the girls.
Being rather new last week,
it was not known who could join
the tours. Doris Hanson, this
week’s guide, announced that all
girls are welcome—just so they
call her or sign up at the YW
before embarking time, Wednes
day at 5:30 o’clock.
Skipworth on KOAC
Broadcast Today
George Skipworth, baritone, will
be heard on the University school
of music broadcast today at 2:30
o’clock, over station KOAC, Cor
vallis.
The opening number of a varied
program is “Dank Sei Dir, Herr,”
from Handel’s “Israel in Egypt.”
He will also sing “Clorinda” by
Orlando Morgan, “Mondnacht” by
Robert Schumann, and “My Mes
sage” by Guy d'Hardelot. The fif
teen minute program will be
brought to a close with the song
"Myself When Young” from the
song cycle “In a Persian Garden”
by Lehmann.
Mr. Skipworth will be accom
panied at the piano by Dorothy
Davis. He is a senior in music and
former student of Paul Petri.
UO Physics Staff
Has New Member
Mr. Paul Fine, who recently has
been doing graduate work at the
California Institute of Technology
since 1935, is now teaching in the
physics department in Deady hall.
He completed his undergraduate
work at the Unviersity of Okla
homa, and then entered the Insti
tute in California. Although he has
only been here since the resump
tion of spring term, he remarks
that, “I enjoy mjf work here very
much.”
Bones Are Pride of
Zoology Department
Bones and skulls of every possible kind and shape from different
animals are the pride of the zoology department.
They come from every corner of the earth, from the deep, dark
jungles of South Africa to every man’s Utopia. And what's more,
they are valued at the price of five or six hundred dollars. Since the
recent pilfering of tropical fish from the zoology laboratory, the bones
and skulls are well guarded.
Here are just a few of the types
of bones: snake, lizard, fish, mon
key, turtle, cat, bat, goat, possum,
alligator, chicken and rabbits.
Skulls Also Included
The various species of skulls
include the champanzee, monkey,
gorrilla, and the buffalo.
These intriguing specimens are
located in the zoology laboratory
on the third floor of mysterious
Deady hall.
In deed interesting is the skull
of a prehistoric man. The skull is
usually large, and this might mean
that our ancestors were a bit
larger than we are. Because of its
age, the skull is not white but a
brown color.
If you happen to be around
Deady and mention bones or
skulls, by the time you leave you
will be thoroughly educated in the
science of bones and skulls.
DimeCrawl
■ i
Raises Funds
For Tuition
Scholarship Open
To All Students;
Cup Goes to House
Getting Most Cash
The AWS Dime Crawl gets
under way tonight between the!
hours of 6 and 8 o’clock when all'
women’s living organizations
throw open their doors to all cam
pus men to dance for a dime.
All men students are invited to!
visit every women’s house to dance j
whether they have had a special
invitation or not, the primary pur-1
pose of this social event being to
raise money for AWS scholarships !
and loans.
More Than Social Event
One dime will permit a person
to dance as long as he wants to in
that house. But it is hoped that the :
men will visit as many women's
organizations as possible.
Mrs. Hazel P. Schwering, dean
of women, said yesterday, “I hope 1
that everyone realizes that the
Dime Crawl is more than a social
event. It is really a benefit because!
it gives the AWS a chance to give
more tuition scholarships of $30 a
year. And, too, this scholarship and
loan fun is open to men students
as well as women.”
tup io bp liuaraea
Although this event was not I
held last year because of the flu'
epidemic, it has been an annual
school custom in the past. It is an \
informal affair with everyone
wearing just campus clothes.
As usual the cup will be award
ed to the organization turning in
the mofet money in proportion to
its size. Competition will be keen
among all the coeds striving for
this honor as well as the honor of
being more or less the most popu
lar house on the campus in respect
to getting the most men to come
and dance with them.
Phi Psis Win in 1937
In 1937 Pi Beta Phi with an av
erage of 42 cents made by each girl
won the cup, with the Alpha Phis
and the Tri Delts taking second
and third places. The total money
raised in that one evening was
over $127. .
Four on a Honeymoon

Wednesday night in the University theater in Johnson hall. Honey
mooners are, left, Jeannette Hoss and Eddie Hearn and, right, Kay

Bishop Remington ■
Enjoys Campus Visit
In Spite of Weather
By HELEN ANGELL
Blame it on the weather if today’s love and marriage lecturer is
temperamental for, according to speaker Bishop W. P. Remington,
Willamette valley rains are “crabbing" his anticipated rounds of golf
to the extent that he’s only got in 14 holes since his arrival Friday
night.
But golf or no golf, the eastern Oregon bishop is enjoying his visit
to the Oregon campus and likes
the “back to school” feeling. Big
gest thrill so far seemed to be
presentation to Oregon’s Little
Colonel Rita Wright at Saturday
night's military ball—and the ac
companying pleasure to learn she’s
from his own domain east of the
Cascades.
Tells Today’s Topic
Seated in the inner office of
Francis Beck, YMCA secretary,
the jovial gray-haired clergymen
hinted that today’s lecture will
deal largely with lessening “sav
agery” in sex relationships.
“The mating instinct is at its
peak during college,” he declared,
“and since students are thrown
into intimate contact eevry day it
is natural that there is a lot of
love-making.” In his address, he
will urge students not to put love
making on a level so low that un
happiness will result.

YMCA to Sponsor
Educational Film
“The Plow That Broke the
Plains,” United States documen
tary filip sponsored by the YMCA
will be shown at the men's gym
nasium next Thursday evening. It
is the first of several films fi
nanced by the Roosevelt adminis
tration and produced by Pare
Lorentz.
With Virgil Thompson to provide
the music and Thomas Chalmers as
the narrator the film has won wide
acclaim.
Although the picture received a
discouraging reception by the mo
tion picture producers at first it
was finally given a Broadway run
at the Rialto.
Men's Symposium Group to Begin
Year's Speaking Schedule Today
Members of men’s symposium . . . left to right, back row—Delmor Rice, Wayne Kelty, Dale Ilelik
son, Karl Zimmerman, W. A. Dahlberg, assistant professor of speech, in charge of the group; Wendell
Haley, Clarence Zurcher, Walker Treece. Front row—Peter Chiolero, Harold Kaschko, Roy Vernstrom,
Wyburg Furrell, Kenneth Erickson, and Daniel Bergman.
A discussion of “American
Values” will begin today when
the men symposium speakers go
into action for the first time this
year, according to W. A. Dahl
berg, speech instructor who is
training the men. The engage
ments are at Junction City high
school at 2 o’clock and the Lions
club at 6:30.
Treeee to Background
^Walter Treeee will give the
backgronud talk emphasizing
American political, social and
economic traditions. Leonard
Clark will handle the nature of
the political institutions, and
Daniel Bergman the social.
Wayne Kelty will answer criti
cisms now directed at these insti
tutions.
Shirlie McCarter will accom
pany the group to give a humor
ous reading.
Talked to 30,000 in 1938
Last eyar the men's and wo
men’s symposiums appeared be
fore more than 30,000 persons.
“One of the most interesting
features about symposium is the
great variation of response to
any given expression of
thought,” Mr. Dahlberg believes.
“Our experience has been that
in one place there is valid criti
cism and in another they are
ready to put us on the red net
work,” he says. “One remark
will bring laughter in one place
and in some other place a yawn.
One audience will be sympathetic
and the same speech before an
other audience will find ani
mated discussion and difference
of opinion.”
Program Is Helpful
One value of the symposium
program, Mr. Dahlberg explains,
is that the student learns quickly
how difficult it is to adapt his
personality and point of view to
the environment with success.
He considers it interesting to
go into small communities and
see almost the entire community
present.
"It shows a great hunger for
outside talent, points of view
and programs that appeal to the
mind.”

Trees Get Pruning ■
As Result of Storm
Gardeners were busy Monday
pruning trees from which limbs
had been blown off during storms
Sunday evening.
According to Professor Fred

any disease that might take place
as a result of the wind tearing
down the branches.

UO Marriage Bureau
Organized by Student
A new service is benig offered to unmarried staff members of
the University in the form of a newly organized marriage bureau,
A1 Bogue, head of the marriage bureau announced yesterday.
The bureau, organized in order to remedy the blessed single
ness among the staff members of the University, has already
received several applications, Bogue said.
Specifications for Man Given
One young lady whose name Bogue coyly refused to divulge,
was very definite about what she wanted. A man, preferably bru
nette, at least five feet, nine inches tall, between the ages 30 and
35, who is self-supporting and not a moron, were the major re
quirements. He should have a car or at least a friend who has a
car and must be without a mother, father or wife, Bogue said.
It is reported that Bogue is engaged to a girl in California.
If she hears of his recent activities he may be forced to make a
private use of his marriage bureau.
