Czech Violinist Here for Concert Virtuoso Fritz Neumann Starts Practicing, To Appear With UO Symphony Orchestra February 14; Rex Underwood Conducting UO Coeds Meet U of W Shooters Match to Be Fired On Oregon Range February 17 Oregon's unbeaten girls’ rifle team will meet Washington’s na tional championship girls’ team <>n February 17 in the annual inter school match, Thelma Bouchet, manager of the Oregon team, an nounced yesterday. The match will be fired on the Oregon range. The Washington markswomen have won the National Rifle asso ciation’s National Intercollegiate women’s team championship two out of the last three years, and the National Intercollegiate wom en’s individual championship the last three years. They downed the Oregon team by a bare margin last year in a hotly contested match at Washington. "It will be our most difficult match,” said Miss Bouchet," but we're keeping our fingers crossed.” The Washington team has a con siderable advantage over the Ore gon unit, as girl rifle classes have been taught at the Huskies’ school for several years. They are a comparatively recent innovation on the Duck campus. Colonel D. E. Theabaud, coach of the Washington squad, will ac company the team. The twelve girls of the team will be guests of the Oregon girls at their various houses. Stanford Condemns Finnish Relief Fund Leland Stanford university ex ecutive council officially went on record Wednesday opposing the collection of funds for Finnish re lief as a student activity. The executive council said it was against their policy to “sanction student participation in partisan causes” as the reason far the ac tion. Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Stan ford university president, con demned the action of the council, insisting that the United States has been aiding Japan with shipments of scrap iron and England wit li munitions and that kindness to children doesn't lead to war. He added that the executive council must have thought, they were the United States senate. The proposal to make the Finn ish relief drive a student activity came from an independent campus committee, headed by Rev. Dr. Elton Trueblood. The committee is not connected with the national or ganization for Finnish relief, which is headed by former-president Her bert Hoover, an alumnus of Stan ford university. Finns Fighting (Continued from page one) .Mass ICducntion The masses, too, should receive j as much education as they can ! absorb, she believes. Democracy j cannot exist without it. Creating quite a discussion was | the question concerning the role of the teacher in the classroom.! Should the students attempt to straighten out and keep straight j their own affairs or should the j teacher step in and straighten them i out? Would this be helping train-i ing for citizenship? "Would you close your ears to an authority?” was her reply. In the end, as every one agreed, a teacher should be an adviser, not a dictator trying to shape his students’ opinions ami ideals to his mold. Sea ndina vIans llemocrat ic Still creating speculation is her declaration that the Scandinavian family is more democratic than the American family. What did she mean? Nobody knows the answei, but some were proposed. Perhaps another statement she m a d e, “Freedom means self-discipline and self-sacrifice,” explains it. Am ericans are so wrapped up in the maintenance of their own constitu tionally guaranteed rights that they completely forget the other fellow. And to be truly a free coun try, the people, not the particular individual, must be free. The University of Oregon cam pus looks pretty good to Fritz Neumann, Czechoslovakian violin ist, even if he did arr ive on h rainy day. The young virtuoso arrived Wednesday from .Seattle to begin rehearsals for his February 14 con cert with Rex Underwood and the University symphony orchestra. Now happily settled as a guest ir: the Underwood home, Neumann prefers not to talk of politics or his life* in Prague before the en trance of the nazis. That march of “triumph” quickly changed the life of the young Czech, who had re ceived his doctor's degree in politi cal science from Berlin university and was set for a position in his father’s bank in Prague. Among his friends are a number of Kugeneans, including the Uni versity niusic school graduate and concert violinist, Frances Brock man. She had been Neumann’s for mer co-student under Adolf Busch at Basel, Switzerland, and she en listed the aid of a number of American people abroad in obtain ing for’ him a passport and an American visa. Neumann came west almost im mediately after arriving in Boston, he explained in English that is flecked with a Czechoslovakian accent. One of his students is Seattle's Norman Davis, well known musician and collector of violins. Teacher and student have become such great friends in the last few months that Davis loaned Neu mann his prized Guarneri violin for his Eugene concert. The founder of the famous line of violins, An drea Guarneri, made the instru ment at Cremona, Italy, over 250 years ago in 1674. Much of Neumann’s study since his arrival in America was done with borrowed music, since the bulk of his library of books and music was sent across the Atlan tic on a German boat that took refuge in a South American port after war broke out. The scores did not reach Seattle until three months after Neumann did. ne nits mine repertoire, includ ing works of most of the European (classicists and romanticists. He brightened immediately when asked his favorite “Hh . . . now ... I have a very wide heart Zair are very, very few about which I care most, but if zair is one I must choose, it is Mozart.” He is also fond of the melodies of Tschaikowsky, whose violin concerto he will play in his concert here. The work, according to Neu mann, is a selection "of almost in exhaustible melodic invention.” He likes music only more than lie likes America. And he lias, as has been said, "a very wide heart." lie has been finding out, during the past six months that many Americans have very wide hearts too. Rats Reduce (Continued from pone one) Artists and snow-lovers at the University of North Carolina re cently had a lot of fun. They went out and sculptured up elaborate snow men on the Chapel Hill campus. “Snow is an excellent medium for art, and it'.; lots of fun, too." declared Edgar Thorne, senior art major, who had fashioned a gigantic beard ed head. Daily Tar Heel What. No l.ovenmarriuge? "No wonder the old-fashioned girl didn't toll mother every thing. She didn’t know every thing."

Oregon's swimmers have nearly ;i week of practice yet before en training for the Washington State Idaho tour, and Cutler said the forthcoming practice sessions would put all his men in top shape for the two consecutive daily meets, a tough schedule for uny swimming team. The two meets on the 16th an<J 17th will round the swimmers into competitive shape for the return meet the 21th with Oregon State at Corvallis, Cutler said. Speaker ('li;ifit's l>. Byrne, secretary to tlie Ironed of higher education, will address the Newman club Sunday. Catholic Students To Hear C.D. Byrne Secretary to the state board of higher education, Charles D.

Jaunt Planned To New Hostel Toboggan Slide, Slopes, Ski Jump, Provide Interest Weekend ski trips may be a weekly event for those skiers who want to take their skiing seriously for an American Youth ski hostel has been established just 02 miles from Eugene at Lost Creek ranch in the White Branch area, 15 miles from Hand lake. The hostel is only one-fourth of a mile from a ski terrain, where there are gentle slopes for the be ginner, a ski jump for the expert, and a toboggan slide. Three cot tages, one for men and one for the women and a community kitchen compose the ski hostel. Mr. and Mrs. Ram Atherton are house par ents. There is room for ten boys and ten girls. Mattresses are pro vided, but each person must bring his own bedding and dishes. Food may be bought up there or brought from Eugene. Reservations must be made with Mr. Thomas Fisher, head of the recreation center at the city hall in Eugene. A 35-cent charge for fuel and lodging will be made, and a temporary pass for overnight stay costing 25 cents must be procured. A party is planning to leave Saturday for the hostel. Anyone wishing to go up who does not have transportation or anyone who has a car may sign his name in the library or see Margaret Hol ford, Susan Campbell hall. Reporter 'Shocked' By Psychologists Ski Club Elects Neil Farnham President Ski club members elected offi cers last night and completed plans for a trip to the McKenzie snow areas Sunday., Neil Farnham was voted presi dent, Adele Canada, vice-president; Corine Lamon, secretary; and Bob Jolly, treasurer.

By MILDRED WILSON Editor's note: Reporter Wilson volunteered to go through the conditioned response test here described for the sake of a play by-play story. Now it’s there, now it isn't, only it is. That’s the general idea of the conditioned, response testing chair that has been set up in psy chology laboratory 319. After the victim is comfortably settled in the chair with a couple of electrically-wired metal clamps around his ankles and some little round things tied to his hands, the fun begins. Very Dark Everything’s dark, extremely dark, because there isn’t supposed to be any outside distraction. The chair is right in the middle of a little cubby-hole made from win dow blinds and when the “guinea pig” i3 ready, the blind in front of him snaps down and he's in structed to watch for a little light in the middle of it. Since there isn't anything else to look at he glares for light which suddenly glares back and bites him. At least it seems to, although in reality there is just a. little electric shock in the leg clamps when the light flicks on. The purpose of the whole proce dure, it seems, is to turn the light and the current on together about 30 times. Meanwhile the skin re sistance anti reactions are being indicated on a little machine called a galvanometer. Every time the victim jumps, so does the galvan ometer needle. It Doesn’t Bile Finally, if everything is as it should be, the light goes on and the electricity doesn’t. However, the skin reaction is the same as if there had been a shock. Anyone with a half hour to de vote to the cause of science, and a desired to be “condition re sponsed" may get in touch with Dr. Lester F. Beck, associate pro fessor of psychology. Anyway, it doesn't hurt. Hot - Cross BUNS Fruity filling, sugary frost ings combined with our own famous brand of bun batter, insures a per feet combination.

Totalitarianism (Continued from page one) “on time.” Then when the coun tries wanted to collect, she said “you take the industrial products J we can offer you, buy from us in- j stead of other countries; if you prefer to continue in your present market, you’ll have to wait years for payment.” Future Liberalism Liberalism in the future cannot prepare for war and have inter national cooperation, it cannot have autarky; it cannot be advocated entirely in the name of prosperity but it must also be in the name of peace, Dr. Heilperrin asserted. A member of the international institute of education, of the gradu ate institute of international studies in Geneva, a lecturer of cur rency and finance in Geneva, pro fessor of international law at The Hague, teacher of political science, Dr. Heilperrin was introduced by Dr. Rudolph Ernst, professor of English, in charge of the faculty lecture series. rD fn] 173 rm frD fit] Fir) frDfri] 173 fiDfrUfrij 173 frDIHJfn] fnl fnlfn! fn] fnllnirn] frill A 33 Air Students Complete Solos Majority Finished; Weather Troubles Novice Pilots Reeling off required flying hours whenever local skies clear to favor able weather, 33 air course stu dents out of the total enrollment of 50 have turned in solo flights, airport officials announce.
