This Week’s Church News By BETTY JANE THOMPSON October seems to be a month of conferences. With two already in progress on the campus, a third will be held this weekend when the Umpqua association rally meets at the Baptist church. The Oregon Christian youth assembly will make a fourth when it meets on the campus next weekend. Preceding the Sunday rally, the Baptist Guild Girls met Friday af ternoon and this morning in Rose burg. Taking for the conference theme, "Living for Jesus,’’ the delegates will consider the topic in reference to the fields of worship, education, and society. The morning service will be in charge of the associa tion president and vice-president, Ruby Allen and Phyllis Madgen, and Dr. A. J. Harms, who is ad viser to the group. Principal speaker for the morn ing service will be Mrs. Ida B. Wise Smith, national president of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. She will speak on “Are We Civilized?” A well-known lecturer throughout the country, Mrs. Smith was named the outstanding woman of the state by the gover nor of Iowa in 1928 and shared the honor with nine others in 1933. Delta Tau Delta fraternity mem bers will attend the service in a body. Concluding a series of meetings on “Friendship,” Wesley founda tion will have a worship service led by Don Butzin at the First Methodist at 7 o’clock. At the morning service, Dr. B. Earle Parker will speak on “Does the Church Need a New Appeal?” Rev. Williston Wirt, First Con gregational church minister, has announced his morning topic as “The First Commandment.” Ply mouth club will hold its regular meeting, Ed Robbins, president, an nounced. House Budgets On Even Keel Group Managers , Discuss Dues, Fire Hazards at Meet When the fraternity house man agers group met Tuesday in spe cial session, they balanced their budget so completely that they were able to pay back every fraternity for all their rushing meals during freshman week. From the $10 rush week fee paid by each rushee, $2 is given to the house managers’ association to help pay rushing expenses on the cam pus. The number of rushees this year has permitted the committee to remunerate every Greek organi zation for the more than 1300 meals served, according to Hal Jahn, sec retary. Also wiped off the slate last night was discussion of fire hazards in fraternities and reduction of house manager association dues from $5 per house to $3 for each year. Chuck Phipps, 1939-40 managers’ prexy, handled the gavel at the meeting, which was held at the Phi Sigma Kappa house. Registration Nears Completion in Flying Course Thirty-Nine Chosen For Flight Training Three Girls Make Grade; Single Vacancy Left in Ranks; Four Dual-Controlled Cubs To Be Used by University Fledglings By JIM BANKS They're in! Thirty-nine of the forty-odd students who will be listed in the University’s new flying course sponsored by the civil aero nautics authority have passed all requirements and will be ready to go when clases start October 24. The remaining vacancy will be filled some time today. Three coed fledglings, Rita Wright, Maxine Glad, and Blanche Mc Lellan, made the grade. This is an especially difficult feat since the Motherwell Says 'UO Art School Is One of Best in United States' — Youngest members of the art school staff are R. B. Motherwell and D. E. Thompson who have just begun their teaching career. “This department is one of the best, if not the best art department in the U. S., because they actually paint here instead of merely talk ing about painting as they do at more famed universities,’’ said Motherwell, instructor in modern painting and theory of esthetics, who recently came here in prefer ence to returning to Harvard. Motherwell began his career as a painter by winning a fellowship in painting given by the Oitis Art institute of Los Angeles. He stud ied at Stanford for four years, spent time studying at the Univer sity of Grenoble in the French Alps, the Academy Julian in Par is, and at Harvard and the Cali fornia School of Fine Arts. Due to the European situation he de cided to come back to America. D. E. Thompson was graduated from Iowa State college at Ames in 1930. He traveled in Europe and studied landscape gardening in 11 countries. For the past three years Thomp son has been working for the Sil ver Creek recreational national park service. The Dope Bucket (Continued From Page Two) smallest total net score in the California-Washington State game is the latter mentioned, or the Cou gars to you. Cal claims the injury jinx this year, but those Bears have been taking enough beatings this year, and we feel that they will be in there Saturday to try to make up for lost time. The Oregon State - Washington games leaves us with but on con clusion to draw and that is that when all the shouting is over Washington ain't gonna be the winner. Try as hard as they might, the Huskies are not going to topple the Beavers from the ace high position that they hold in the con ference standing. The other reason is that Oregon State about took a beating from Portland university last week, and the Beavers will be in there with all they have, which is plenty. Gonzaga will return to the nor thern state from the Oregon-Gon zaga game—without a victory.

The complete list, with the ex ception of the one remaining va cancy, is as follows: Ralph Boak, Norman Cory, Rob ert Curtis, Joe Dallas, Glen Eaton, Harry Findley, Thomas Fishburn, Robert Flavelle, Donald Gilbert, Maxine Glad, Wendell Haley, Hugh Hoffman, Erling Jacobsen, Joseph Lebenzon, Wayne Kelty, Stanley Johnson, William Lubersky, Ed ward Leonard, Pierce Mallory, Blanche McClellan, Robert Moran, Francis Nestor, Ralph Peters, Fred Quale, Donald Rockwell, Roland Rodman, Donald Root, Richard Sears, John Sherman, Paul Smouse, Kneiland Stone, John Thompson, Robert Toon, Homer Townsend, Orin Wechsler, Marvin Weinstein, Rita Wright, Joe Walker, and Clarence Zurcher. Actual flying will start within a few weeks from the beginning of classes for these students. The new course will be no “pipe.” To pass, each man must complete 72 hours ! of ground school training in theory of flight, aviation engines, naviga tion, and other courses. Grades and ] attendance will be sent to Wash ington at regular intervals. Sitting in on the ground school training will be several alternates, ready to step in if any of the regu lars drop out. Four dual-controlled Cubs will be in for strenuous use when the new birdmen start actual flying. With the start of the first flying classes ever held at the University of Oregon next Tuesday, four fac ulty members will take up new du ies in ground training. H. L. Barrett, assistant professor of military science, will teach civil air regulations and history of avia tion; P. P. Adams, architectural professor, has been assigned to teach the fledgling fliers naviga tion; A. E. Caswell, head of the physics department, will be the in structor in meteorology; and W. V. Norris, professor of physics, got the call as instructor in theory of flight and engines. Mr. Barrett is a graduate of the army air corps training school at Maxwell field, Montgomery, Ala bama. Bulldogs have two successive vic tories to their credit, hut they will not add a third one to their belt this weekend. Hundreds Applaud (Continued from pane one) I'm hot and in the groove.” Each time the crowd was shak ing the Igloo with applause, Mr. Tibbett would exercise his hardy vocal chords, with a few loud bar itone booms that echoed, no doubt, in the highest rafters. That, he said, was "just for relaxation.” Possibly the most popular songs were Kern's “Ol’ Man River,” which Mr. Tibbett sang for "some very lovely young ladies,” and Da vid Guion's arrangement of “All Day on the Prairie.” The last bars of this rhythmic cowboy song the singer whistled for a crowd that might very modestly be called spellbound. Mr. Tibbett was not at his best in the first group of songs. He was not yet accustomed to the audito rium, and the jiarsh footlights were not only, he said, blinding, but hot and suffocating. Pictures on Display Part of the library collection of paintings have been put in the browsing rooms for student circu-» lation. Anyone who wishes may take out paintings by such paint ers as River, O'Keefe, McFee, Wat kins, and others and hang them in his room for a month. Those in the browsing room now include "Fire Eater” by Watkins, "Still Life” by McFee, "The Har ! vest” by Rivera, and "Black and i Purple Petunias” by O'Keefe.

Complete proofs of the direc tory listings were finished by eight students working under the supervision of Editor Bill Knight last week. They are now in the hands of the University press. Pedestrians Regain Composure as Bikes Are Banned NO BICYCLE HIDING ON THE CAMPUS. For all you have won dered about these signs, lost sleep, called the Emerald staff, and I caused them to lose sleep, let it be hereby known that no petition has , been gotten up by a sore body of righteously indignant students, nor have any bicycle fatalities been recorded. | Riding bicycles on the sidewalks is against the law and riding bi cycles on • the soft dirt or gravel paths cuts them up and renders them unfit for their primary use which is foot travel. So if the students are further annoyed by two-wheeled menaces to pedestrian happiness, they will not bring' out their trusty machine guns and fire away, but will mere ly glare at the outlaw cyclists, point at their pretty orange signs, and say “Git.” -rl'T T rl’ 1' IT '1' T T f T T T T T T TI 'l- T T * The Falcon Good Food and Drink JUd'ore and After the Game GOOD LUCK OREGON Across from Men’s Dorm t Students Are Against War, Psychology Records Show University of Oregon students don't want war. At least not if the statistics gathered by Dr. Howard Taylor in his survey of general psychology class can be interpret ed as indicative of general campus sentiment. Dr. Taylor presented his class today with Thurstone's scare, a quiz designed to measure attitude toward war. The quiz consists of 22 statements ranging from high to low degrees of pacifism. The majority of the class agreed with the two following statements. “No scheme of aggression or conquest can be pursued for any length of time without enfeebling victor as well as vanquished. Civil and na tional differences can be settled without war.” The most extreme militaristic statement agreed to by anyone in the class was “We should have a moderate amount of military train ing in our schools.” The most pa cific statement was "War appeals only to the base of human motives ' and brings out all that is brutal in humanity.” Sentiments and attitudes change rapidly especially in times like ours but according to Thurstone's norms (worked out in 1931), this is a strongly pacific attitude. | Dishes or Lamps f | and other Hardware We can supply for your— J ‘ for— Bachelor Apartments Homes Fraternities Sororities Welcome to Quackenbush’s 160 E. 9th Ph. 1057 Hey,!
