Sign-up to Halt
As Holiday Calls
Independents
Non-Greeks Urged
To Organize Body
For UO Activities
Registration of independents will
Re halted temporarily today, be
cause of the closure of the office
for the Thanksgiving holiday,
Nancy Ames, chairman of the inde
pendent personnel committee an
nounced last night.
Registration of non-Greek stu
dents continued yesterday after
noon, as the office finished its third
day of business, Miss Ames said.
She urged all independents to come
to the office on the third floor of
Gerlinger, just above the Univer
sity street entrance and register.
This registration was explained
as the first step in a proposed pro
gram to organize unafilliated stu
dents into a solid body for partici
pation in student body activities.
The office, which was opened
Saturday, records names, living
groups, class, and interests of all
students registered.
■ “We are trying to build a file of
all independent students, and to
record the campus activities, or ac
tivities within otrr own group in
Which they are interested,” John
Cavanagh, first vice-president of
the student body, and leader in the
movement, explained.
“To acquaint all students with
their part in student government,
we must have the active coopera
tion of each,” he emphasized.
The constitution committe e,
headed by Nick Kovtynovicli, re
portedly met at a late hour last
night. No information could be ob
tained as to their action, however.

Miss Alden Uses
Findings of Tour
For PE Writings
Granted a sabbatical leave last
spiing term to study needs of
teacher education in recreation,
Miss Florence D. Alden, professor
of physical education, is using her
findings as a member of the state
policies committee on recreation to
help formulate standards and needs
for the state.
In a tour going as far south as
Los Angeles and New Orleans, east
to New Yoik city, and north to
Toronto, Miss Alden visited educa
tional institutions offering train
ing in her field and leaders in re
creational and group work. Mer ob
ject was to determine needs in
teacher education in recreation and
the extent to which colleges are
meeting them.
In addition to a broad cultural
background and general education
equivalent to graduation from a
college or university, leaders
stressed specific training in skills
and tiie philosophy of rcctealion,
group Work, and youth organiza
tions.

the last 10 years and it’s high time
that things change around the
table.
After a careful, unbinsed survey
of the campus, here are a few of
the tricks that students use to
grab off not only ‘‘the gravy” but
something they can sink their
teeth into as well.
Ernie Hinkle: ‘‘I find it best in
my experience to immeditely rush
into the kitchen and tell my mo
ther that T made a three-point mid
term. As a reward for my being so
studious I can walk off with almost
any part of the turkey. I usually go
hungry Christmas, when the truth
of the matter will out.”
Alice Joy Frizzel: ‘‘I’m very un
smooth on this matter. I’m just
thankful for what I can get.”
Ed Baydell: "I usually go out
before the dinner and play my dad
a cutthroat game of golf. I let him
beat me so badly that he always
gives me the drumstick as a con
solation prize. Pretty smooth, no?”
Russ Hudson: "I usually sneak
into the kitchen and hide a couple
of drumsticks in the oven, and then
after all the guests, who are too
polite to ask for seconds, are fin
ished, I bring them out and really
reap a harvest.”
Clarence Kruger: “I usually
start courting my mother’s favor
about a day prior to the ‘big doin’s’
and through argumentation and
persuasion, I am usually in the
front line when the white meat is
passed out."
Wes Sullivan: Quote, I’m a vege

Bowen Finishes
Work on Balzac
University Press
Publishes Study
Of UO Professor
Dr. Roy P. Bowen, head of the
Romance languages department
has just had his book, “The Dra
matic Construction of Balzac’s
Novels,” published by the Univer
sity of Oregon press. According to
Dr. Bowen, it is an outgrowth of
three graduate seminars, two of
which were held at Oregon and one
at Stanford university.
No serious study has before been
made of Balzac's work from the
point of view of dramatic construc
tion, said the language professor,
and in the first part of the book he
discusses the role of conflict in
Balzac’s novels and the type of
character that Balzac puts into his
leading roles.
According to Dr. Bowen, most of
Balzac's novels are primarily psy
chological dreams, and the most
important aspect of his dramatic
intrigue lies in d i a logu e. It is
sparkling and human, says Dr.
Bowen, and it is used mostly to
portray the characters rather than
the plot.
Dr. Bowen's book, of which a
thousand have been printed, will
be disyibuted to libraries all over
the country. "It took me,several
years to finish it,” he revealed,
“and I hope it will be helpful to
any Balzac scholars in this coun
try or Europe.
Budget to Determine
Extension Classes
Requests for new extension
classes in the winter term have
come from Clatskanie, St. Helens,
Dallas, Oakland, and The Dalles,

ant director of the general exten
sion division.
At present the division conducts
classes in nine cities in the state.
Studies have been made of a num
ber of other towns with the possi
bility of holding extension classes
there considered. Money available
in the new budget will determine
how much expansion can be car
ried on.

Hawaii? Perhaps
Hobby is walking around with
a worried expression on his face
these days but it isn't his team
that bothers him. Red-haired Helen
Angell wrote a story for the Em
erald yesterday scooping other
writers with the news that the
University of Oregon would make
a post season trip to the Hawaiian
islands this year and would play
several games with Stanford while
over there. That Oregon lias been
contacted is true, but the neces
sary papers have not been signed
and Hobby trembles for fear Ore
gon State or Washington will put
their hat in the ring at the last
minute and be invited to make the
trip. If everything goes right, the
Webfoots will cavort in sunny Ha

cinched. Material for the Emerald
