Not only did the students turn out in great numbers, but they turned out in a far different mood from the usual assembly crowd, and once their own assembly program got going they “ate it up.” The kind of feeling manifest yesterday morning was a direct refutation of the accusa tion that apathy is the only possible reaction to be expected in Gerlinger. There never was the kind of reception for a “straight” assem bly that yesterday’s achieved, and it was a distinct thrill to promoters of student body unity to watch the ASUO taking hold and en joying itself as one. No faculty section, none but students on the platform. # * * ^APPARENTLY nobody quite expected the crowd which did turn out. Not all of the assembly room was opened for seats, and con sequently the rule of the day soon after the doors opened was “standing room only.” But all things considered, it is just as well there were not enough seats, for the hack end of that room is an acoustical killer, and it won’t hurt the student body to be brought into even a more compact group. Two related reactions arise out of what happened yesterday, first that students are starved for things of their own doing, and second that there will undoubtedly be more all-ASUO assemblies in the future than there have been in the past. It is not difficult to see why the students respond so heartily to things which have something of themselves in them. The idea of self-determination fits in very well with the principles on which the nation is supposedly founded. * * * ¥N almost any college or university the em phasis most of the time is downward, from faculty to student. There is no continuity among students; they are only around four or five years and college is but an in-between period for them, whereas it is the life of the faculty. The faculty has the experience be hind it, and through its continuity it holds most of the control. This downward emphasis is perhaps natur al where learning is supposed to be taking place and is to be expected. But the students, those at the other end of the downward focus, should be encouraged to get out from under once in a while or they find themselves revert ing to the principles of primary education even though they are only a step away from the end of their school period. There is more to education than fee paying and classes. If all-ASTTO assemblies are the answer they should be worked. The assembly hour does not necessarily have to be used each week just because it is free, for there is a saturation point which has been approached in the past, but the ASUO ought to take up a larger share of the hours used. Yesterday was a fine start; now to keep the ball rolling. The BAND BOX By BILL MOXLEY Bucket-Making Backet The radio business has recent ly been giving a lot of publicity to the sound effocts end of broadcasting. It's really quite in teresting. Somebody the other day was telling about a nice gruesome bit of sound effect technique seen at a gangster program broadcast. The sound desired was of some poor gloop getting his head bashed in by a fellow criminal. The sound ef fects department came forth with the proper effect by smash ing a big juicy grapefruit in front of the microphone at the desired time. Some fun. But seriously, this part of the radio biz is getting to be a big, well-paying field. According to a bulletin from the Columbia studios, to bo a good sound ef fects man you have to have a dramatic sense, a feeling for rhythmic effect, and a special kind of mind that associates things with their sounds more than with the way they look. So if you've got all these attri butes you can be a sound effects expert and get rich by sitting in the studio and playing with broom straws that crackle like fire, hinged pegs on a wooden frame that sound like marching men, trains, fire engines, storms, and everything else that makes a noise. A Year in a Dag ..inn By WES SULLIVAN 1916 January 4 — Two hundred twenty-five dollars a year is the average amount paid by University students who are living outside of living organi zations, it was announced by President Campbell today.

Handy, The Grand Old Man of Jazz, has been living in fame and fortune these many years, all because of ono little song which he composed in his youth, “The St. Louis Blues." Recently, Handy and some of his old friends made a record ing album for Varsity and waxed some of the old negro jive ballads that were famous back in the days when swing was in its infancy. The list in cludes "St. Louis Blues." "Beale Street Blues," “Loveless Love," and “Way Down South." W. C. Handy plays trumpet and sings in each of these tunes, which mark the first time he has ever made recordings. Good Bund—Poor .Spouse .' Several weeks ago two t'ah fornia sociologists were report ed as saying that dance band leaders made “lousy" husbands because they were never home. Mr# Hal Kemp, whose husband earns about $3,500 a week say.-, the sociologists are very wrong —that musicians do make good husbands . . . With $3,500 lurk ing around the house every week it isn't hard to understand t— dt. tlidTc rtwo ito Tdlc Curb Cruising By ALYCE ROGERS Merely 3500 some students on this campus and do you think there’s anything doing? Well, just try and break some of these tight-mouthed babies—like try ing to make a mother appreciate Petty’s drawings. . . . Now I asked Jermain what the Betas are doing ? Not a darn thing. But as for Jermain, is he mad! On OSC feminine column, ist who came over last weekend, went back to Corn Valley and wrote his name in an issue spell ing it “Germaine.” Quote Jer main: “She's no reporter” un quote. Then I saw a Sigma Nu and his capacity was but a joke: Usherette: “How far down do you want to sit, lady?” Lady: “All the way, of course.” . . . Woops—almost forgot. Bob Corby, DU, planted his pin on Mary Margaret Gedney, drama student. Well, along about that time I began to get mad. So I ran into a rumor about Prof. Don Juan Hargis planting his Teke pin on Betty Lou Kurtz, Chi Omega, So, contrary to 8-Ball style, I started pronto to check up on the deal. Betty says, quote: “Ask him” unquote, so I saw Hargis in the Side and did exactly that. Well, he laughed and laughed and promised not to flunk me in Radio if I happened to mention it. . . . So, I promised not to, I think. Anyhow, neither denied the rumor. At first he liked being pledged but he got sore in the end. . . . Well, says Jack McCli ment, Sigma Chi, “them’s my sentiments exactly’’ in his Vigi lante vernacular. . . . Then someone mentioned Bob Ho chuli, ATO. You know he has a sister in the Kappa house and makes himself right at home, floors no objections (well, I've got a DU brother). . . . Irwin Zeller, Theta Chi, wouldn’t say anything about his date to the Heart Hop with Nisma Banta, University house. * * * And as for the Emerald inter view of Queenie Norwood yes terday, Bette says she's never seen a classic. And between Catherine Crane and her, they tried to figure out what one might look like. . . . Jean Morri son, a lovely Tri Delt, won't be able to attend her own house dance Saturday night as she has to sing in Don Nance’s OSC band at the Gamma Phi shindig. Incidentally, Jean sings every weekend with them. The general conversation con sensus here and there seems to be about the swell assembly yes terday with special reference to Pat Taylor’s “Nobody Makes a Pass at Me” (with one excep tion). . . . And with Hoy Vern. strom’s crack at “Cue-Ball,” I thankfully patted my own brown locks and offered a brief thanks giving that it wasn't me he was calling barnyard names. . . . And as for that “Petty” cut in Miller's ad yesterday . . . well, they’ll soon need to incorporate a men's department down there. A stooge mentioned that Betty Wheeler, Kappa, and (iene Cobh, ATO. are setting a new record . . . they haven’t had a fight for a week. . . . Well, X was getting sour as I went . . . absolutely nothing to write about. About ready to turn in the towel, I thought of girl-shy Phil Lowry, Phi Bete. This senior-class presi dent who is sidewisely-eyed by many a coed, apparently hates women . and is he grateful for the Theta Chi out-of-state con vention which meets the week end of the Senior ball! Saved from a belle by the boys. . . . Then I hit the Shack . . . and the telephone rang: Quote: ’’Do you know . . . I saw' Bill Grant buy ing groceries the other night with his gild!" Unquote. No. guess they’re still not married . not yet . . . Someone men tioned the Theta, who got a date last w eek with in English major and thought she was going out with a military man. . . .

Names of all students, classi fied as to sex, class, and place of residence, were placed together and one-tenth selected at random. Those whose names were drawn will be interviewed by one of the seven membeers of the class and presented with a questionnaire to fill out. Dr. Aitchison in Charge Dr. Beatrice Aitchison, instruc tor of economics and head of the statistics class urges cooperation of students in completing the questionnaires. The questions con cern the amount of money spent for house bills, entertainment, and miscellaneous. Many of the 100 questions con cern how much was spent in the last year for different types of accessory, campus and sports clothing. Queries about bicycle up keep, laundry expense, and shoe shining bills. No one need fear a violation of confidence, Dr. Aitchi son stressed, because the names of the students involved will not be shown on the papers. Eugene and Elsewhere The questions ask how much money for each item was spent in Eugene and how much elsewhere. A similar study was conducted by the ASUO in 1929. At that time the total student expenditures in Eugene was $2,033,112.55. The to tal spent by University students, both in Eugene and elsewhere, was $2,590,751.25. mis year, wan a student ooay about 15 per cent larger, it is ex pected that the total will be at least as high, even in he face of altered economic conditions,” Dr. Aitchison declared.

The speaker told of the cen tralized system in which educa tional opportunities are alike for the big metropolis and the small- j est rural district. Uniform require ments for teaching, and the place ment of teachers by the central authorities without consulting lo cal boards, have put all schools on the same basis, and the profession, says Miss Bannan, is well paid with a good system for retire ment. Each year about 200 students are selected on a basis of scholas tic work for University scholar ships. Miss Bannan commented on the prevalence of paper-bound books, priced at approximately 16 cents, which are intended for public con sumption. One really finds people carrying them around and reading them, she says. She expressed amazement at the price of books in the United States.
