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.

.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.

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.

champion, took Freeman Sinclair
in two straight games to place c
them in the semi-final matches. s
Bob Smith is the only other con- s
testant to reach the semi-finals,
having defeated Charles Cutler in ^
two of a fast three-game match. |

Books on Chinese
Art Added to Libe
Museum Collection
“The History of Early Chinese
Art,” a book in four volumes by
Osvald Siren, one of the greatest
contemporary authorities on Chi
nese art, has been added to the
collection in the museum library.
The work is followed by “The
History of Later Chinese Painting”
in two volumes by the same au
thor.
Miss E. Louise Lucas, head of
the library in the Fogg museum of
art at Harvard university, has
compiled a foundation list of
“Books on Art,” which is now
available.
Of especial interest are the three
volumes of “The Museum in Amer
ica” by Laurence Vail Coleman,
director of the American Associa
tion of Museums, which contain,
besides a general history, experi
ments conducted to determine the
conduct of people in visiting mu
seums and their tendencies in
looking at exhibits in order to find
the best way of arranging collec
tions.

Liberalism in the future cannot

but it must also be in the name of

has terminated for the majority of
trainees, marking the end of one
phase of training. Flying time will
be principally solo from now on,
with intermittent dual instruction
for each soloist.
Four Start Late
Stepped up to fifty by an in
crease in enrollment granted by
the civil aeronautics authority, four
out of the additional ten fledglings
under Instructor Jerry Andrews
have recorded solo flights. Starting
air training later than the original
forty, Don Swink, Bob Reider,
Lloyd Cummings, and Jack Dallas
made lone hops in Andrews’
“squadron.”
