' New Faculty Member Has
'Black Magic’ Hobby
He thinks the tall campus fir
trees are marvelous, he's a ma
gician, he teaches speech classes,
he’s Marvin A. Krenk, newest fac
ulty member.
Because of a large increase in
the student enrollment of the ex
tempore speech classes of the Uni
versity, this additional member
has been added to the staff of the
speech division. This is the second
consecutive year that large classes
have necessitated an additional
staff member in the speech divi
sion.
Coming originally from the
Black hills of South Dakota, Mr.
Krenk attended two universities
before securing his B.A. degree.
■ The first was the Black Hills
Teachers college at Spearfish,
South Dakota; the second being
Nebraska State Teachers college at
Chadron, Nebraska, where he ma
jored in English. From Chadron,
Mr. Krenk moved to Evanston to
attend Northwestern university,
where he earned an M.A.
Faculty Aids Spirit
“The speech faculty there never
fails to pass on an enthusiasm for
the work, the school, and the fac
ulty itself because of its spirit,” he
explained.
From Northwestern, he went to
teach speech classes in the high
school at Kewanee, Illinois, where
he was just before leaving to come
to Oregon.
Never having been west of Salt
Lake City before, Mr. Krenk di
vulged this fact to a fellow travel
er on his way out, who declared
that, “People in Oregon are more
low-down. They’re not so sophisti-!
cated as in the East.” However,
Mr. Krenk declared that he no-1
ticed mainly that “Oregon people
are extremely friendly.”
In commenting on his students,!
the ne winstructor declared that he i

between the attitudes of college
and high school students. The main
difference lies, he remarked, in the
more formulated ideas of the col
lege person, where the younger
student has a nebulous sort of
knowledge.
Commends Students
He mentioned also the polite at
titude of University students, add
ing that the attitudes of students
of other campuses were not al
ways as they should be.
Oregon's hills, which are usually
impressive to a mid-western trav
eler, hold few surprises for Mr.
Krenk, for in the Black hills
where he formerly made his home,
he explained, there is a great va
riety of scenery ranging from bar
ren lowland to the highest point
east of the Rocky mountains in a
comparatively small area.
He is, nevertheless, looking for
ward to going salmon fishing,
which is unknown to his part of
the country. ,
Explains Magic
As for the powers of magic
trickery, to fully explain his un
usual hobby, he demonstrated
shortly with a coin which was
there, and then it was being pulled
out of the air!
“That is the way I earned my
way through college,’’ he said, I
“through practice of the devilish
art. It is interesting from the point
of view of a.udience psychology,
and demonstrates the principle of
attention by catching that human!
interest which is not altogether
logical.’’
Mr. Krenk declares he was first1
interested in it by seeing a ma
gician perform when he was but
14 years old. “Although he wras a
very bad magician, I have since
learned, he had me fooled com
pletely and for days I kept trying
to imitate his tricks.”
Scorns Properties
No trappings are used by Mr.
Krenk, for he believes that the old
stage properties of former magi
cians have lost their charm for the
average audience.
When asked his opinion of the i
College Side, Mr. Krenk said that
lie had noticed from bits of con- j
I'ersation he had heard while eat
ing there or passing by, that stu
dents seemed to be rehashing;
things that are occurring on the
campus and in classes.
“When this is true, a university
is doing what it is intended for,”!
le declared.

Disavow Illness
By Snappy Helk
“Hi, how are you?1’
“Just fine. How are you?”
The answer came in unison from
a bench full of prospective pa
tients at the infirmary.
This reply is the height ol
something or other in demon
strating how little thought goes
into a greeting these days for,
obviously, none of the waiting
miserables was "just fine.”
The illnesses ranged from
“strep” throats to cold sores and
those confined were: Nancy Hil
ton, Ann Gildesheim, Jean Paul
ing, Charlotte Collins, Clara
Skjipstad, Helen Graves, George
Schrieber, Josephine L u m e n,
Paul Davis, Richard Aslieon,
Parke McNeil, William Hamil
ton, Charles Elliott, and Bill
Wallin.

be the leader. Others are “The Wei
and the Rock” by Thomas Wolfe
“Shanghai ‘37” by Vicki Baum
and “Children of God” by Vardi

The list of non-fiction include;
“Wind, Sand, and Stars” by An

Debate League
Chooses Topic
’ | A subject of widespread interest,
nationally as well as within this
[state, “Resolved: That the federal
government should own and op
erate the railroads,'1 has been
chosen by the Oregon high school
debating league for its 1939-40
competitions, it has been announced
by P. M. Collier, assistant profes
sor of English in the Portland ex
tension center, and secretary to
the league.
December 11 has been set as the
last date when teams may enter
the league, according to Collier.
District directors must file the
schedule of their team's debates
with Collier by December 27. The
last date for determination of dis
trict championships is March 2,
1939, and district directors must
report district champions to the
secretary not after March 9, Col
lier said.
Determination of section champs |
in the two series of interdistrict j
debates will be made by April 13,
and the final debate to determine
the state championship has been i
set temporarily for May 4.
The winning team will receive
the “University cup" presented in
1935 by Professor E. E. DeCou,
head of the mathematics depart
ment at the University of Oregon,
and Elizabeth Fox DeCou. It will
become the permanent possession
of the school winning it three
times. In the 1938-39 contests it
was won by Grants Pass; in 1937
38 by Pendleton, and in the two
preceding competitions by Chilo
quin.
A “Barker cup” is presented to
each of the section winners of
Eastern and Western Oregon.
Grants Pass won the western Ore
gon cup, and Bonanza the eastern
Oregon cup in 1938-39. The tro
phies were given to the league by
Burt Brown Barker, vice-president
of the University.
Dr. Leeper to Attend
Mental Hygiene Meet
When the Oregon Mental Hy
giene society holds its meeting
Tuesday night at 8 o’clock in the
Benson Polytechnic auditorium in
Portland, Dr. Leeper of the Uni
versity psychology department will
be one of the six panel leaders
leading the discussion.
The topic, ‘'Influences For and
Against War,” will be the third to
be discussed in the series of six
lectures held each year in Portland
by the society.
The six panel leaders will repre
sent different professions and each
will be expected to present some
thing pertinent from his particular
field.
Injuries Hit
(Continued l'row Page Two)
Irony to the story, according to
Coach John Warren, is that “Pest”
Welch's victorious Babes escaped
the burns entirely.
i Warren was forced to use a
makeshift lineup yesterday after
noon in a scrimmage against the
varsity squad. Only regulars he
played were Nick Dallas and Chan
ning Kilbourne, centers, and Duke
Iverson, George Bujan, and Louis
Baum, backs. Honest John will
continue scrimmage drills the rest
of this week for the second frosh
rook contest November 10. That
game will be the final one of the,
i year for the Ducklings.
Geology Class Visits
Cottage Grove Dam
Two groups of geology students,
accompanied by Dr. Warren D.
Smith went on field trips to the
Cottage Grove dam site last week
end. About 21 examined the site
Saturday and 31 went Sunday af
ternoon.
Mr. Tom Ellison, Mr. Smith’s
nephew and geologist on the pro
ject, was helpful in explaining
some of the problems and experi
ments on this particular dam. The
students examined the buttement
of the dam and were told about
some of the material tests the
geologists have made recently.
Fossil specimens were collected.
Tentative plans have been made
for a trip to the Fern Ridge dam
site next weekend.

Lonigan's try for the point failed.
Omega hall played the first sev
en minutes with only four men,
but managed to stave off the
Campbell co-op's attack. Elmer Ol

the hall squad to forfeit, as the

'American Scholar’ Aims
To Interest All Students
The autumn number of the
American Scholar, quarterly pub
lished by the United Societies of
Phi Beta Kappa, is impressive as
usual. The societies aim to issue a;
magazine that can interest and |
develop the scholarly type of mind
without being altogether too heavy
and solemn about it. The autumn
number appears to have come
somewhere near its aim.
Among the authors represented
are such well-known men of
thought and letters as Harold J.
Laski. Henry Seidel Canby, and
James Rowland Angell. Others are
Justus Buckler, professor of phil
osophy of Brooklyn college; Ar
thur Livingston, professor of Ital
ian at Columbia; Edwin R. Em
bree, former Yale faculty man,
now head of the Julius Rosenwald
Fund; E. Wilson Lyon, professor
of history at Colgate; John T. Rule,
head of the department of drawing
at Massachusetts Tech; Joseph
Haroutunian, assistant professor
of Biblical history at Wellesley;
Paul Bixler, ex-newrspaper report
er, now librarian at Antioch col
lege; Joseph Wortis, research psy
chiatrist of New York, who
worked under Havelock Ellis for
several years.
Laski Analyzes
Laski sets his analytical mind
and his power of expression at
work on “The Challenge of Our
Times.'' “We have reached,” he
writes, “a term in the evolution of
our social institutions because we
arc no longer able, within the
framework of existing economic
relations, to satisfy the demands,
we encounter.” So Mr. Laski seems |
to be doing a bit of challenging
himself.
Mr. Buchler discusses Charles
Sanders Pierce, “Giant in Ameri
can Philosophy.” Arthur Living
ston warns, in “Homemade Litera
ture Under Fascism,” that critics
often exaggerate the direct and in
direct influence of government up
on cultural trends, and he con
cludes on the challenging note that
“the theory of fascism . . . has
shown its superiority to every the
ory of a degenerate liberalism that
persists in ignoring the role of
force in human societies.” So, you
see, we’re getting something from
another point of view.
Embree Criticizes
Mr. Embree tells (again) what’s
the matter with the education of
teachers and sets out a five-point
program for improving what he
says is a bad situation.
Mr. Lyon offers an analysis of
dictatorship and democracy in the
nineteenth century, concluding that
Mussolini and Hitler are logical
products of history in Italy and
Germany and not freak leaders
tossed up by the World war.
John T. Rule, in “The Photogra
phy of Illusion,” discusses the
stereograph and pictures in three
dimensions, a new development in
the world of art.
Angell on Freedom
Mr. Angell’s article deals with
“The Future of Intellectual Free
dom, suggesting that it will re
quire more than wishful thinking
to gain the goal of freedom de
sired.
Modern Protestantism is de
scribed as neither modern nor
Protestant in the article by Mr.
Haroutunian.
Paul Bixler on “Uncle Sam: Au
thor, Printer, Bookseller,” Joseph
Wortis on “Havelock Ellis”; and
some exceedingly illuminated let
ters to the editor wind up the au
tumn offering.
The editors are hoping that this
magazine will appeal more and
more to college students as well as
to faculty members and other peo
ple of intellectual interests and a
sense of social responsibility.
Column Announced

day advertising staff of the Em
erald has announced a new pro
gram of advertising from Taylor’s,
