Give Them Cake and They'll Eat
JF there was doubt as to whether the student
body is interested in all-ASUO assemblies
there should be none left after yesterday’s
successful meeting. 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.

Father of the Blues
W. O. 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

and “Way Down South." W. C.
Handy plays trumpet and sings
in each of these tunes, which

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. . . . Ynd.
all ready to go, in walked THE

Student Spending
To Be Estimated
Economics Class
To Survey Amount
Spent in Eugene
Just how much the University
is worth Eugene in money spent
here by University students will
be discovered by members of the
statistics and applied economics
class on the completion of a sur
vey of a representative one-tenth
of the student population to be
started in he near future.
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.

Educational System
Of Australia Depicted
The educational system in Aus
tralia was the topic of an address
given Thursday to the monthly |
meeting of the University library
staff by Miss Elizabeth Bannan.
acting professor of English.
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.
