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 Oregon State - Washington

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.

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

his room for a month.
Those in the browsing room now
include "Fire Eater” by Watkins,
"Still Life” by McFee, "The Har

1Riggers Guide'
Reason for Rise
In Student Dates
Campus stock in the “pigging”
industry showed a sharp rise last
night, when the student direc
tory, better known as the “pig
ger’s guide,” went to press.
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.”

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.
