Fancy Flying Cause of Suit Lubersky Named As Defendant in Moot Court Case By DON BUTZIN The showing off of a student in the University of Oregon civil ian pilot training corps is the basis for this week’s moot trial to be held Thursday night in the Lane county courthouse. The defendant, William F. Lub ersky, third year law student, is charged by Plaintiff Mary Jane Wormser’s attorneys with caus ing her to be sick and mentally upset because of capers he cut while driving an airplane in which he was taking her for a ride. Payments amounting to $500 are asked in settlement for hos pital bills and general and ex emplary damages. According to Plaintiff Attor neys George Corey and Eugene R. Neill, Lubersky invited Miss Wormser, a first year law stu dent, to ride with him to Albany in an airplane. She accepted, with the provision that he would not do any fancy flying. He allegedly agreed to this. However, on the way back to the Springfield air port, the defendant allegedly en gaged in such a practice. His loops, tail spins, and chandelle not only frightened Miss Wormser, but left her mentally shocked and physically bruised, according to the plaintiff’s statement in the complaint filed yesterday with the court clerk, Denton Burdick, William Huey and Donald Mar shall will defend Lubersky. Professor Orlando J. Hollis will judge the case again and the jury will be picked from University students. Aspiring Cook Spoils Soup; Oswald's Gone Has anybody here seen Os wald ? The disappearance of Oswald has meant many gray hairs for a few, for Oswald is over 80 years old, and, consequently, unable to take proper care of himself. Oswald was found hitch-hiking on the coast highway down by Reedsport recently and being of kind and generous heart, Hy Hughson gave him a lift to Eugene. A night’s lodging was furnished for him at the Sigma Chi house, but the next afternoon Oswald was nowhere to be found. He had left, bag and baggage. There is only one clue as to his identity; he was last seen on the second floor of the Sigma Chi house, and, because Oswald has such short legs, it is impossible for him to travel downstairs. You see, friend Oswald is a turtle. The only way that he could have possibly left the house would be with the aid of some culprit who had designs on him as poten tial soup. So won’t you please keep your eyes open for this lit tle turtle who suddenly shifted into high gear and took a pow der? Something New Under the Sun ^ I LEM-OLA | §>, TAYLOR'S _J UUX& Wood Directs 1New Deal' in Curriculum In three weeks it will be fin ished! What? The curriculum laboratory at the education school. All year Professor Hugh B. Wood has directed the growth of one of the few such laborator ies in the United States. Since the establishment of the school of education at the Univer sity, the research bureau and ex tension division have served the schools of the state through school surveys, publications, and extension classes. The increasing of the curriculum methods of in struction, and related problems has led during the past few years to the establishment of the cur riculum laboratory and to in creased courses in the curriculum field. In keeping with the modern trends, a personalized instruction has been planned for each type of student based on his environ ment rather than a course of study for the advancement of the entire class. The continued sup port and development of this in struction will depend largely on the use made of the laboratory's services and materials, according to Wood. A new file is being developed which will contain under the proper headings the curriculum materials of specific school sys tems in Oregon and the North west. Textbooks and studies on curriculum are kept on the non circulating shelf for the labora tory worker. These have been se lected and recommendecTby noted educators. Bibliographies and references on various phases of curriculum,. elementary and secondary school text and reference books, and publishers’ catalogs are on file. By ROY METZLER 1940 Junior Weekend Biggest and best show of the week, was that put on by the Junior class — the 50th Junior Weekend. Combined with Moth er’s day activities, this Junior Weekend was without a doubt the best ever presented. The campus luncheon always goes off well, and the large crowd was handled with an ease that showed careful planning. The queen’s throne at the luncheon was in a better position this year, therefore everyone got to see the coronation. In previous years only a, small part of the crowd really saw anything. Sunlight serenade was enjoyed by an overflowing crowd in a brisk wind. Girls in their bright colored pinafores served orange ade and cookies to the audience beneath the trees in the Sunken Gardens. Again this year, the Mother’s Day banquet showed the need of a large banquet hall, so that all the mothers may attend and none will be left on the outside. The banquet w’as nice, but rather long —too many introductions. With the exception of the waiters, al most everyone was introduced at least once. That slight commotion during Mrs. Wintermute’s speech was due t<5 a mouse that was racing back and forth underneath one of the tables. Canoe Fete Crowning all previous enter tainment, the Canoe fete on the millrace, was presented in the atmosphere of old Vienna. The or chestra under the direction of Rex Underwood was flawless in its presentation of Strauss waltzes. This year’s floats were excep tionally good and there were only a few “duds.” All of them showed good planning and a lot of hard work, which made the judging difficult. However the judges’ de cision was well met by applause from the crowd. Humorous touch es were added to the fete by the SAE’s St. Bernard who sat, en chanted by the music and the floats, during the entire evening, occasionally lapping up a drink from the race. The orange crate which floated down during the program got almost as big a laugh as last year’s Three Trees entry. Also a plug for the singing grpups, who performed very well. Too, bad some: of, their numbers were accompanied by an obligato by the whistle of an Espee freight train which was passing by. All in all it was just about as perfect a weekend as one could possibly expect. Being so original and typical of Oregon. Junior Weekends at the University clear ly outclass anything put on by any Pacific coast school, even UCLA. Magic Bullet In true Warner Brothers style, “Dr. Ehrlich’s Magic Bullet,’’ fol lows the success of “The Story of Louis Pasteur.” Like its pre decessor, the story revolves around man’s fight in the field of science against disease. “Magic Bullet” has been widely and sensationally played up as the picture which tells the story of the search for a cure for syphilis. Syphilis is called by its own name, but there is no sen sationalism and the film remains decent throughout. The discovery of “606” whcih Dr. Ehrlich gave to the medical world is only a part of the story. Much of the screenplay is devoted to Ehrlich's experiments with aniline dyes in the diagnosis of tuberculosis, dip theria, and other communicable diseases. Good Cast Edward G. Robinson gives a convincing portrayal of Dr. Ehr lich, in fact many critics think it is his finest role. Ruth Gordon as. his wife seems rather high schoolish in her acting. Otto Kruger, Donald Crsp, Maria Ou penskaya, Sig Rumann, and Mon tagu Love are all good in sup porting roles. Of special interest is the use of color slides in Ehrlich’s micro scopes, showing syphilis bacteria Two Recitals (Continued from page one) three students of Rex Undemood and Aurora Potter Underwood will be presented in a recital of piano and violin music. Jane Young and Jeanette Gordon will open the program with “Concerto for Two Violins,” by Bach. Solo selections of Miss Young will be Beethoven’s “Romance in F” and Vieuxtemps’ “Ballade and Polo naise.” Margaret Mills, pianist, will play “Malaguena” by Lecuona, and “Andante and Variations, Opus 26” by Beethoven. Conclud ing violin numbers will be Miss Gordon’s interpretation of Dvor ak’s “Slavonic Dance in E Min or” and a Vieuxtemps violin con certo. Anyone interested may at tend. Alec Templeton, blind pianist, has learned to play the chimes in the tower of the campanile at the University of California at Berke ley. , , , Fire Bells Ring, Lady Discovers House in Flames Did you ever hear the fire en gine, follow the screaming beck oning? Of course. But did you ever find that what lay at the end of the chase was—your own house ? That's what happened to Mrs. Howard R. Taylor, wife of the dean of the graduate division and head of the psychology de partment Friday. With Mrs. R. R. Huestis. she was visiting at a friend’s house at the opposite end of Villard street. Because it was in the general direction of her house, she and Mrs. Huestis started down that way, broke into a run along with other would-be spec tators. When they arrived, fire men and neighbors had already begun to evacuate removable ar ticles. Estimate of the damage was unavailable, but the major part of the roof was burned. Clothes, too, suffered from the fire. The fire started, the fire department reports, in a wall switch into which a radio had been plugged. and other diseases that get in the blood. “Dr. Ehrlich's Magic Bullet” is really a “must see” pro duction and worthy of all the praise it has received. This review might give the impression that the picture is all science, full of high-sounding terms and test tubes, but the story is interesting, even to those not particularly in terested in science. The picture is now playing at the Heilig with the usual selected short subjects. ug-og: jshowina 2con-K ’ HI? IIOIIAI.ll Compelling’ Power!
