Publisher Tells Of Radio Work Harris Ellsworth, publisher of the Roseburg News-Review and owner of the Roseburg radio sta tion, spoke to Frank Short's 11 o’clock publishing class Monday. Mr. Ellisworth discussed the problems of operating a newspa per in connection with a radio sta tion. They are entirely competitive, he declared, and work against each other constantly. Part of the time Mr. Ellsworth answered questions about circula tion, radio and newspaper adver tising. He pointed out that some people prefer radio advertising, while others newspaper. There is no reason for this, but personal preference, he said. Mr. Ellsworth, an Oregon alum, and Mr. Short were two of the four students who started the Lem on Punch at the University in 1921. Mr. Ellsworth was business mana ger of the publication and Mr. Short, art editor.

Hayden and Jack Stafford ... on a year’s trip around the world tell their University friends that they are having a wonderful time. UO Architect Studen ts Hayden and Stafford See Fran ce in Sprin g Better than a travelogue are recently received letters from Wallace S. Hayden, assistant professor of architecture. Hayden and Jack Staf ford, student of architectural design and son of Dean O. F. Stafford of the chemistry department, sailed March 18 for a European tour and are now in France. Lengthy excerpts from the letters, posted on the art school bulletin board, have prompted much interested comment from stu dents and mends or the travellers, j ‘ March 25, the Eugeneans’ first day in France, was spent at Le Havre. Yankees Stared At “Two raw Yankees, they can tell us a mile off and stare as if we were escaped convicts,” Hayden wrote. Next day he said, “But with the berets as a disguise we melt into the French background fairly well.” Describing the city of Le Havre, he wrote: "The life is slow. The pattern of French life seems to be one of saving, stretching the possi bilities of everything, the greatest utilization of the smallest particle. In the evening they turn the lights up in the hotel lobby when they see someone coming and down again when they leave. Much Local Color “Anyone going to France who doesn’t stop at Le Havre is nuts. What a place, and as for local color, around the docks we saw nothing but sabots, blue denim jackets and pants, little boys in gingham dresses, old men pulling huge wooden carts, and all that you expect of rural France.” While there, the tourists pro cured bicycles: “But these are no ordinary bicycles,” Hayden writes. “These have three speeds, front and rear wheel brakes, carriers front and back, head and tail elec tric lamps run from friction dyna mo, saddle bags, license plates.” Saw Normandie Hayden and Stafford were fortu nate enough to see the Normandie | in drydock. “Boy, if we only had | our cameras,” the letter reads. “Saw four of the bronze propel lers for the Normandie taken off for repair, and there is enough bronze in one of them to cast all the bells in Holland, I bet.’’ The traveller described the train they took from Le Havre to Paris: “The slow train, in spite of the name, provides very comfortable riding. Third class is better than the trains we rode in the United States. As for view, a huge win dow in each compartment really raises and lowers very easily.’’ See Paris in Spring If one has never longed to see “Paris in the spring,” he would be inspired to go there after reading Hayden’s account of it. The voy agers visited Cite Universite and the Luxembourg gardens. “Paris is truly a great, impres sive, spacious, cosmopolitan city— sophisticated, exhibiting culture and the ripening of time,” Hayden says. “So far, with few execu tions, the modern shops in Paris are as good and as bad as in Port land or anyplace else. But No Pretty Girls “We have yet to see a pretty girl, yet to see comely girls in any number, surprised to find the sex as a whole not very prettily put together— perhaps we don’t go to the right places, walk the right streets, eat at the right cafes.” Hayden demonstrates amused disgust in the following phrases of his communication: “Whoever told us that English is readily spoken in Paris deceived us.

Ralph Talbot, Jr., of the field artillery, will be on the cam pus tomorrow to inspect the Uni versity ROTC, according to the an nouncement of Col. Robert M. Ly on, commandant of the University ROTC. Colonel Talbot will arrive about 10 o'clock in the morning from Oregon State college where he has , been inspecting. In addition to watching the com panies drill, Colonel Talbot will in spect the records and instruction methods of the military depart Large Crowd Sees Cast of A-l Troupers First Night Let-Down Gone as Student Players Give Assurance of Successful Run; Four Shows Left The second performance of “With Fear and Trembling" last night in the little theater in Johnson hall gave undeniable proof that student actors and actresses are able to give a sustained show, with undimin ished verve and enthusiasm. The all-campus musical comedy played to a full house, carrying through the inevitable let-down after a first night with remarkable success and gave complete assurance that the next four nights of the show will build up to a climax for the final performances. New facets of the show were highlighted at the post-opening night, placing new emphasis on the finale and upon Lorraine Hixson's interpretation of Wilfred Road man’s "Solitude" number. Waterfront Number Commendable Especially commendable in last night’s show was the "Waterfront at Midnight" song, sung by Pa tience Harland, and the thrillingly , dramatic set of a misty pier under a streetlight, designed by Eileen Cooper. Rollicking funster, Patsy Tay lor, seems to feel it an obligation ; to turn in an original performance every night. Each is as irresistibly funny as the one before it. The greatest lack of the show is a lack of more of Ed Burtenshaw's lovable and laughable Adam Phin eas Teeter. The audience half ex-! pected Mr. Teeter to pop out from behind the curtains between each scene of the second act. They! would have been better pleased if he had. BA Dean Off to Business Meet Dean V.

Syl via s Flivver Won't Run, But It Went Anyhow “It was parked right out in front of the hall, and when I woke up this morning it was gone!” Sylvia Lebenzin, fresh man of Hendricks hall, explained yesterday. Police promised to look around for her 1925 model Hupmobile, patriotically decorated with lem on and green paint. The flivver was discovered near the lost-and-found depart ment. Sylvia wasn’t worried; she knew it hadn't been run. “Some boys probably pushed it,” she ventured. The conclusion was based on the fact that the auto “just stopped running” recently. Girdles Important to College Girl, Speaker Tells Clothing Class The value of the foundation gar ment to the college girl was em phasized in a talk given by Mrs. Adelia Townsend, head of the foun dation garments department at Washburne’s department store, yesterday in the morning clothing selection classes. M's. Townsend told the class that nine-tenths of the people neg lect their body. “Most women,” Mrs. Townsend said, “know how to put on dresses and make-up, but few know how to put on under garments. She showed the fallacy of the reducing girdle and said that the only sensible way to reduce was to eat right, exercise right and rub vigorously with a turkish towel after every bath. She stressed i the importance of good posture and its effect upon one s walk, health, and looks, and told how much easier and less ex pensive clothes were to buy if one had a correct posture.

The game, a feature of the law school’s weekend, will be held May 6. The lawyers are confident of victory. The challenge follows: IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE STATE OF OREGON FOR UNIVERSITY COUNTY The Law School Student Body, plaintiff, vs. The B. A. School, an unincorporated association, defendant. Comes now the plaintiff, for cause of complaint against the de fendant alleges: 1. That the plaintiff is an association of hard-wroking, serious minded, sober, and celibate men of dignified mien, who aspire to the profession of Hammurabie the Lawgiver, of Justinian, Blackstone, John Marshall, Holmes, Clarence Darrow, and Orlando John Hollis. 2. That the defendant is a mostley aggregation of worthless, spend thrift, drunken, licentious, lascivious, libidinous, and lecherous rum pots, playboys, rounders, and rogues; and an undistinguished array of bookkeepers, clerks, stenographers, officeboys, pencil-shapeners, et al. 3. That although the plaintiff no longer suffers the indignity of having the ill-famed hovel of the B.A. school, disguised as a house of learning, at the plaintiff's front door; nevertheless the defendant’s scurrilous, nefarious, and reprehensible activities are now being sur reptitiously, secretly, covertly, and sub rosa carried on behind the the plaintiffs' backs, infringing the plaintiff’s common law right of privacy, and causing the plaintiff great annoyance and irreparable damage. 4. For further and separate cause of complaint, the plaintiff alleges that the said defendant and all and every one of those composing it, have, by their ungentlemanly, boorish, and loutish staring at, ogling, and gaping at the stream of female pulchritude at once flowed down 13th street, caused said stream to become diverted so that it now passes down the crosswalk from Oregon to Deady; that the plaintiff and all and every one of the members thereof are thereby deprived of their riparian rights in and to said stream of female pulchritude, and of aesthetic pleasures and stimulation once derived by said plaintiff from an appreciative survey of said stream of beauty. Citation of authority: “A thing of beauty is a joy forever,”—Keats. 5. That said defendant has challenged the plaintiff's position a:; undisputed International Softball champions of the professional-school league of the United States, Great Britain and its possessions, the Malay Archipelago, and intermediate points. 6. That certain of said B.A. students have encroached upon the plaintiff’s lofty station by leaving their miserable, squalid, quarters, and have begun to infest the plaintiff’s temple of learning. WHEREOF THE PLAINTIFF PRAYS RELIEF AS FOLLOWS: That the mercenary money-changers of the B.A. school be driven from the plaintiff’s temple of justice; That the plaintiff be declared true owners in fee simple, free of all encumbrances and adverse claims, of the championship title afore mentioned ; That the defendant be perpetually enjoined from interfering with the plaintiff's rights in and to the aforementioned stream of feminine pulchritude by their gross gaping and odious ogling.

Clark, head of the his tory department, will discuss iso lation, collective security, and the possible trend of world events with members of the senior editing class at 9 this morning in 104 journalism in the absence of Dean Eric W. Allen of the school of journalism who has been confined to bed for the last two weeks as the result of an accident.

Yes terday Howard Kessler, member of the class last fall term spoke on his observations on his recent trip to Florida. Bishop Benjamin Dunlop Dag well of Portland will come before the class Thursday. Art Students Unmask Walls, Plan Frescos Loud is the banging and much is the dust at the art school these days as be-stepladdered students wield hammer and chi sel to remove plaster from the walls in the patio of the court. This process bares bricks that will be covered by frescoes exe cuted by pupils in the advanced painting class, in the manner of the ancient Roman craftsmen. The subjects of the frescos deal with different divisions of the art school—sculpturing, pot tery, architecture, drawing, and painting—and will be placed with relation to these departments. The work will be the first of its kind done by undergraduate students here, and the pupils ex press intentions to give up all their spare time to finish this undertaking in three weeks.
