Gagster Steals
Kappa Sigma
Knives, Forks
The members of Kappa Sigma
fraternity staged a picnic in
their own house yesterday, in
cluding the usual paper spoons
and forks.
The reason for this unexpect
ed picnic was that Monday night
the Kappa Sigma silverware dis.
appeared and could not be found
the next morning when the boys
came down for breakfast.
The silverware was still miss
ing at noon and several freshmen
showed up equipped with paper
spoons and forks.
Dinner time and the silver
ware was still missing. Then,
just as the boys were sitting
down to their evening meal, the
doorbell rang.
When one of the Kappa Sigs
went to the door no one was in
sight, but a laundry bag contain
ing the missing silverware was
sitting on the doorstep. On the
bag was pinned a valentine for
the boys of Kappa Sigma with a
heart painted in lipstick. The
cryptic message read, "Guess
who." i
tonight in Villard hall.
Citing the personality factors
which cause broken homes, the
Oregon professor will seize on the
seemingly negligible elements of
marriage to show their real value,
he said last night.
Spoke Last Year
Dr. Beck, who figured promi
nently in last year’s lecture series,
will entitle his 1939 address, “Psy
chological Approaches.”
Coming to the University in 1934
from Brown university, the Oregon
alumnus took over the duties here
of Dr. E. S. Conklin, who was one
of the beginners of the love and
marria'ge series in 1930. Since then
he has figured prominently in ar
ranging for the series each year,
although he did not speak himself
until 1937.
As a carry-over from tonight’s
lecture, Dr. Beck will be chairman
of a special forum tomorrow after
noon at 4 o’clock in alumni hall of
Gerlinger, where the psychologi
cal problems of marriage will un
dergo further discussion.
The Oregon professor will be in
troduced by Bill Knight, one of 12
members of a student committee
which is arranging the speakers
for the eighth annual love and
marriage lectures.
YW Brings French
Movie to Eugene
The generally accepted theory
for the deaths of Archduke Ru
dolph, son of Emperor Franz
Joseph, and his mistress, Marie
Vetsera, is the theme of the French
movie“Mayerling” which opens for
a four-day run at the Rex theater
next Sunday.
Sponsored by the YWCA ad

Charles Boyer and Danielle
Darrieux. The dialogue is in French

English captions, Mrs. John Stark
Evans, executive secretary of the
YW, said.
Directed by Anatole Litvak, the
picture is based on Claude Anet’s
"Idyl’s End.”
Mrs. William Kidwell, advisory

Curfew Hours
For Senior Ball
Big Winter Formal
To Be Held in Igloo
February 25 /
University women in colorful
formal dancing gowns and men in
white tie and tails will definitely
be granted reprieve from the usual
twelve-fifteen deadline on the night
of the Senior ball, according to
Mrs. Hazel P. Schwering, dean of
women, who stated yesterday that
one o’clock permission had been
granted for the dance.
The annual Senior swing session,
marking the peak of the social
season at the University, is sched
uled for February 25 in spacious
McArthur court, when Oregon stu
dents will dance to one of the
country’s outstanding orchestras.
New Style Decorations
The huge court will be trans
formed into a formal ballroom for
the occasion in a manner that has
never before been possible, by the
use of lighting, background and
decoration, according to advance
information given out by George
Hall, dance chairman.
Although the Igloo will be much
in demand during the week of the
ball for the intensive training by
the Duck basketball quintet for
the championship games at the
end of the month, arrangements
have been made to oust the casaba
pushers to allow dancers to use
the floor for the gala occasion.

Quality, Not Quan ti ty,
Students Wanted Here
By MAURICE GOLDBERG
Imagine a class at the University in which during the last four
years not many more than twenty-five students have enrolled?
Such is the distinction of the micro-technique class which meets
every Tuesday afternoon and Thursday evening in the zoology labora
tory, which is located on the third floor of mysterious Deady hall. Six
hours of laboratory work per week is compulsory, but, according- to
Dr. A. L. Alderman who instructs
the class, his students, of whom
there are only seven in the entire
class, do at least six hours of op
tional work a week for the pure
enjoyment of it. Perhaps this am
bition can be explained -when Dr.
Alderman states that, “It’s fas
cinating work and they are there
all the time.’’
There is no final examination;
and the term is entirely devoted
to the making of slides for micro
scopic observation in the labora
tory. The student's work centers
about the cutting out of species of
tissues which are imbedded in par
affin wax.
When once this is done, the
strips of tissue which are inter
mingled with the wax are then
placed on the glass slides. In order
to separate the wax from the
tissue, the slide is placed in a
solution of xylol, an alcoholic solu
tion that dissolves wax.
The only requirement for the
class is that a student must have
done good work in his prerequi
site courses; and incidentally the
prospective enrollee should prefer
ably have had some previous lab
oratory experience. Dr. Alderman
remarkably states that, "I haven’t
had more than one or two students
in the last four year that received
! lower than a B.”

State Education Board
Refinances Building
Bonds,Saves $100,000
Finance Committee Plans Refunding
System for Construction Program Loans;
Lower Interest Rates to Make Saving
A saving of approximately $100,000 in interest will be effected by
a new financing aiul refunding program on its building bonds recently
completed by the state board of higher education, according to an
announcement yesterday by Charles D. Byrne, secretary of the board.
The program as worked out by the finance committee of the board
involves the bonds issued to match PVVA grants for financing con
struction of the infirmary, library, PR building, and several buildings
on other campuses in the state
system. It also includes refunding
of bonds issued more than a decade
ago for the construction of dorms
at OSC and the University, and for
the Memorial Union building at
OSC.
Students Pay These
All of these issues are special
obligation bonds with interest and
principal paid from the student
building fee authorized by the
legislature or from dorm earnings.
Proceeds from the new issue are
being used to match a PWA grant
of 45 per cent in financing a new
chemistry building and remodeling
the old science building into a
modern structure on the Corvallis
campus.
Llbe, pk Ronds Refunded
At the University the 4 per cent
building bonds issued to match a
PWA grant in financing the new
libe and PE buildings have been
refunded on a Zy, per cent basis
and a new issue used to match a
PWA. grant in financing the
Humanities building has been sold
at that per cent instead of 4 per
cent, thus saving $33,000 in inter
est over the life of the issues.
Arrangements have also been
completed to refund the Univer
sity and OSC dorm bonds now
carrying 4y2 per cent interest rate.
Bearing a 3^ per cent rate, the
refunded bonds will result in a
saving of approximately $17,000.
$5000 Saved at EON
An issue of $39,000 to help build
a dorm at EON has been marketed
approximately one-fourth of one
per cent below the original 4 per
cent on which the loan was nego
tiated with the federal govern
ment, with an approximate saving
of $5000.
“This financing and refunding
program not oniy saves a large
amount of interest over the period
of the bonds, but also calls for
liquidation over a shorter period
and results in more favorable call
privileges,” Mr. Byrne said. “The
building program made possible by
these bonds added more than $3,
000,000 to the inventory of the
state at a cost of only $133,000 of
state tax funds. More than 50 per
cent of the costs of the buildings
came from federal grants and gifts
from private donations."
, Members of the finance commit
tee who worked out the program,
assisted by N. A. Bork, comptrol
ler, are E. C. Sammons, chairman;
Herman Oliver; and Walter E.
Pearson, new state treasurer.

partment training films will be
shown at his 9 o’clock and 1

Architects Sell Stock,
Get Drafting Machine
By MARGARET GIRVIN
When the architecture .students want something they work for
it that is how the new drafting machine came into the department.
Feeling the need of a drafting machine the students, after failing
to obtain one from the Universiyt, resorted to selling stock, accord
ing to Michael Gallis, president of the architecture club.
Stock Worth $3 a Share
The stock, worth $3.00 a share, is an original etching. The copper
plate was cut by Bob Swan, junior in the department, etched by
David Arnold, graduate assistant, and printed by Gallis and Charles
Endicott, senior architecture student.
Thirty shares were sold for the drafting machine within two
weeks. The machine is now in the department for the use of the
stockholders.
Gallis voiced his hope that there would someday be a drafting
machine for every student in the school of architecture.
