Farnham, Executive Secretary Seven Who Found Out for Themselves T least seven University boys—who came within a whisper of being PX-TTnivprsity —wprp a sadder and perhaps slightly wiser prow late ypstprday whpn tboy had board their spntpnoc from 1 lip discipline committee for a little trip they made last week 1o the Corvallis campus. Yesterday was a far cry from Hip night of the venture, when all in the spirit of good unclean fun the merry seven set out lor lieav erland 1o transform part of 1be campus into burned-over land. Caught, easily, in the act, they at first gave assumed names; but their photograph gave them away. Yesterday they learned about the cold ashes which are always left by a fire; they faced the discipline com mittee, and the committee disposed of them the only way it could under the circum stances. These seven merrymakers and what hap pened to them could be set up as a standing example of the futility of all such painting, burning, and general harassing efforts. And the silly part of it all is that these youths must have known what they were up against. Only last week an Emerald editorial pointed out what happened to Hie last batch of cru saders who visited Corvallis in t he night, de clared there could be no future in it, cited the dangers of such actions. memories, in the face of 1he fact that no such expedition has been successful in the last three years, disregarding all these lliings the tho happy-go-lucky seven—to give them Hie benefit of the doubt—went ahead and tried it anyway. All anyone could think of when the first reports of that evening’s work began to filter through was—why? Just why? Of all the known ways to get into print this # * » would be one of Ihe most un-smooth; nnsatis faetory from every angle, including lliat of llio school lliese champions inadvertenlly represent.. Maybe Ibis year’s dose of m e d i e i n e spooned out by the discipline committee will be strong enough and biller enough to pre vent a recurrence of Ihe same two years hence, or next year, or any year for that matter. Surely in lime it ought to sink into any kind of mentality that it is impossible to win. Here at Eugene there is a big “O'’ on Skinner’s butte which can be painted any color without causing any terrific damage, except 1o the feelings of local partisans. But at Corvallis there is no such concrete letter to channelize harassing efforts; there almost any part of the campus is likely to feel the blow. In fact, the last paint .job put on by a crew from here still sticks to the soft stone on which it was applied. This comes under the heading of pro perty damage. The Skinner’s butte job is harmless practically. * * * JDEYOND Ihe point of the “we told you so” moral there is probably not much excuse for saying more. Too much has been said al ready. But it is only natural lliat 1o a group of students supposedly partaking of the bene fits of higher education an elemental prin ciple should before too long appear—namely that it is poor business to pay out hard cash for something that only brings near-suspen sion from school, as well as some very un comfortable moments. It’s worse than paying for a dead horse, for dead horses cannot bite. Suspension, even held in abeyance during good behavior and providing reparations, is not exactly an invitation to go out and do the same thing again. The non-invitation should out of common sense be accepted from here on. To the Editor: With a skip-liop-and-jump and graceful as a gazelle, little Gon zaga goes over the top of the Oregon team. Okay—I won’t say anything more about it. A great big chrysanthemum to Bob Elliott! He deserves it. But you really can't blame the stands for refusing to yell when three fourths of the “ladles in white” looked as though they didn’t get to bed last night. And if the girls can’t resist gossiping, Bob might let them sit on the first row of the bleachers, ready to jump up and display “umph” when the occasion demands. If he can’t fool them into thinking the game's exciting, he might let them rest between im portant yells and then try and fool the stands. Bored rooters are bad enough—bored yell queens are ter rible. He has a big job; the student body evidently doesn’t appreciate the fine job he does of it. A per son with less ability to “take it” would call the rooters more than "lugs.” Since then it has been sports manlike to cheer when a penalty is given the opponents ? In high school they look on that in the same class as booing junior high stuff. Don't say that the students here are so aged they are in their second childhood. It was amusing to watch the difference in the reception given the new drum majoress by the boys’ and girls’ rooting sections. The boys definitely approved of her—the girls—-"Well, she's cute from a distance, but.” Every girl there would have liked "to be in her boots." And how about those two swell little boys who tossed their batons at each other? They may not have yellow skirts, but that doesn’t prevent them from twirling that stick. Did you ever try to march in a circle and play the trombone at the same time? The life of the boys in the band isn't entirely a matter of being inspired. In fact they can’t even watch her. Ten books were taken out of the library Saturday afternoon. Who said college students are all "rah-rah” boys? Signed, I was the re Robertson’s announces the RE-OPENING of its Men s Wear Store at 832 Willamette A complete line of Clothing and Furnishings Quality for Less Russell to Speak on Exporting Problems Bob “Mike” Moran, president of the newly reorganized Propeller club announced today that Mr. W. S. Russell, of the Portland firm of Dant and Russell, exporters, will speak before the club tonight on present day problems in export ing. The meeting, open to all inter ested in foreign trade, will be held tonight in the Oregon building, room 107, at 7:45 p. m. Also on the interesting program for the evening will be moving pictures of China, shown by Professor Dudley of the school of business adminis tration, who spent several years in business in Shanghai. Professor Dudley lived in Shanghai during that city’s invasion by the Japa nese two years ago. Eight New Members Added to Roster of Dancing Honorary Eight girls became members of Master Dance, interperative dance honorary, at the last meeting. They will be called junior mem bers until they present an original composition before the active members. The eight girls are: Violet Potter, Susan Falkell, Norda Finlandson, Francis Bas com, Patience H a r 1 a n d, Mary Thatcher, Nancy Ann Johnson, and Janice Jones. Those who were not able to try out last Wednesday may at tend the meeting tonight at 7:30 and try out. Shinn, Wilson Obtain BA Masters Degrees Delos Shinn passed his final ex amination for the master's degree in the school of business adminis tration Tuesday afternoon, and Jay Wilson passed his preliminary ex amination for the master’s degree Thursday afternoon. The committee that examined Shinn is as follows: Dean Victor P( Morris, chairman, Professor Cal vin Crumbaker, Associate Profes sor Daniel Dudley Gage, Assistant Professor Wilbur P. Riddlesbar ger, Professor O. K. Burrell, and Professor Cardinal Lyle Kelly, The SHOW OFF By NORMAN FOSTER Although Hitler is rapidly changing European boundaries, we have it on reliable authority that he will not attempt to move the mountains around until next spring. And of course you’ve read about Stalin stepping on Hit ler's heils. Fhooey! Comes again a so-called jit terbug contest, this one featured by the AWS in their annual car nival Saturday night. Because of the low ebb of campus inter est in that type of dancing and the consequent lack of contest ants, we think that such a con test should be titled “jitterdud.” Rand! By the by, the music for the AWS dance contest will be pro vided by Bob Calkins’ “band within a band.” It is in reality a swing quartet and is plenty hot. Nomination! Wait until you hear “In the Starlit Hour”! Glenn Miller will be the first orchestra to wax it and with a Miller arrangement it’s a sure bet for the Hit Parade. Tops! . . . UCLA reports that the tune “What’s New” is the most popu lar song on their campus. What with the present high exchange rate on fraternity brass here at Oregon, we would think that either "My Last Goodbye” or “Who’s New” would be the cam pus male’s choice for top tunes. Current Cinema! . . . “Honeymoon in Bali” current ly screening at the MacDonald definitely puts Madeleine Carroll and Fred MacMurray among the screen peers when it comes to romantic teams. Miss Carroll acts in the role of a department store executive who is so wrapped up in run ning her store that she has no time for romance. MacMurray is the disturbing factor in her lit tle scheme of things—a reckless, carefree adventurer who has just returned from Bali and is con vinced that a woman’s place is in the home and in a man’s arms. (We certainly agree on the latter conviction, but it doesn’t do us any good.) Allan Jones as an opera singer is also an ardent admirer of Miss Carroll. (Drat it! The eternal triangle). Miss Carroll consist ently plays hard to get and after much chasing by both Jones and MacMurray, she is caught by MacMurray and the picture ends happily (they all do) with a “Honeymoon in Bali.” Re-Runs ....

An effort to get a regular week ly recreational meeting in which more women faculty members will participate will be initiated. Wives and husbands of faculty members as well as the office personnel are encouraged to participate. Dancing Too! A form letter listing a suggested group of activities has been sent to every faculty member which they are to return having marked the activities in which they are in terested. Social dancing, square dancing, badminton, ping pong, swimming, and shuffle board are a few of the suggested recreations. In addition to weekly meetings will be regular tournaments which have been held in the past. Head ing off the list this year is the faculty golf tournament which in all probability will be started next week. Dr. E. H. Moore, professor of sociology, has been appointed to head this undertaking to be as sisted by Kenneth O’Connell, as sistant professor of law, and Carl Johnson, assistant professor of romance languages. class A. “Stagecoach” and “Made For Each Other" makes up the bill this week. Both are swell shows — which is exceedingly unusual for double bills. Dr. Espy Scheduled to Speak Thursday of Foreign Ills; Youth Conference to Meet Dr. Edwin Espy, who has probably had more contact in recent years with the youth of Europe and the problems they face as the rising generation of that stormy continent, than any other one person, will address University students when they convene for an assembly at 11 o’clock Thursday in Gerlinger hall. As secretary of the Ecumenical Youth commission with head quarters in ueneva, Bwuzentuiu, Dr. spy has discussed the difficul ties which young people of Europe face in an environment of chang ing economic and social standards with youth representatives from many countries. On the Oregon campus Dr. Espy will serve as one of the leaders of the Oregon Christian youth assem bly which will meet at the Uni versity over the weekend. During July of this year Dr. Espy served as executive for the World Confei ence of Christian Youth at Am sterdam. Arrival May Be Delayed Although he is scheduled to speak Thursday, exact date of Espy’s arrival in Oregon is un known. At present he is filling an engagement in the east and plans to fly to the west coast. If weather conditions delay his arrival the assembly will probably be post poned until Friday. Last Meeting of Value Commenting on a discussion which Dr. Espy conducted on his last trip to Oregon, Miss Dulcina Brown, secretary to the director of religious education for the Port land council of churches, said, “He met with a small group here in our office something over a year ago, at which time he analyzed the problems that youth are facing on the continent of Europe. It was the keenest analysis I have ever heard and very interestingly stated as well. Mr. Espy is probably un der thirty years of age and has a personality that immediately puts him en rapport with youth groups.” Schumctker Speaks Before YMCA Council On Academic Values “Why Come to College” will be the subject of a talk to the fresh man council of the YMCA by L. K. Shumaker, assistant professor of English and head of the English bureau, tonight at 7:30 in the YMCA hut. Mr. Shumaker's talk is to consist of a survey of the academic oppor tunities available here at the Uni versity. Included in the meeting will be a report of the regnional YMCA-YWCA council, which met last weekend at Rock Creek, Ore gon. This report is to be given jointly by Frank McKinney, presi dent of the Y; Paul Sutly, execu tive secretary; and Wayne Kelty, vice president. Another problem will be dis cussed at tonight’s meeting in what the local Y’s part will be in a nation wide effort to finance aid for Chinese students who wish to remain in school. A new appointment has been made to the regular council of the “Y” in Harry Carr as chairman of the committee on conferences and retreats.
