luuiuiiuuai By BOB STILES The Webfoots are back at scrimmage today after completing a very successful Inland Empire invasion. While on this trip they broke even in a two-game series with Washington State and took two games from Idaho. The Ducks really rolled Saturday night when they defeated the Vandals 78 to 42. This was a great surprise to everyone after Donations Upped At Dime Dinners The results of this week’s dime victory dinners are somewhere bet ter than those of previous weeks. Nine women’s living organizations out of twenty-five have reported their results. Seven of these went one hundred per cent: Mill lodge, $9.10; Pi Beta Phi, $8.65; Alpha Xi Delta, $5.75; Chi Omega, $5.10; Delta Gamma, $4.00; Hawthorne house, $3.90; and Alpha Gamma Delta, $2.70. Others participating were Tri Deltwith $3.70 and Casa blanca with $3.00. The treasurer in each women’s living organization is urged to see that their house participates in these Monday or Tuesday night dime victory dinners. They should then phone their results to Bea King at the Delta Gamma house before 7:30 every Tuesday evening. U0 Cartoonist to Speak At Junction City High As a member of the University speakers bureau, Hugh King, soph omore in liberal arts, will speak at the Junction City high school on Thursday, February 10, on “A Demonstrated Lecture on the Art of Cartooning.” The speakers bureau, new this year and under the direction of W.

Dahlberg, head of the depart ment of speech and dramatic arts, is composed of a number of under graduate students, who wish to speak before audiences in Oregon on subjects of their own choice. van de Velde, Former (Continued from page one) er later (lull statues of the native j.'Oils were hidden under tlie altar. “If a child dies under seven years of age, it’s an angel and everyone celebrates with a great feast and music”, he mentioned, entertaining his audience with accounts of re ligious and social customs. “Al ways buried with a man who has died is the implement of his occu pation, whatever it may be”. The Indians of Mexico are chil dren of nature, Van lie Velde told listeners. “The are full of bird lore. If an Indian sees a scarlet tanager, head and breast facig him, he is sure that wherever he is going he will arrive safely, though if its tail is toward him lie gives up Immedi ately and turns hack—the bird told him to.” The speaker added that no matter what disease you have or how sick you are, the Indians have some herb for it. “Scientists have discov ered the worthwhileness of studying Indian medicines.” "If you visit Mexico, don’t just sec Mexico City,” the Belgian horn anthropologist writer and lectur er urged Ids audience. “(Jo to some of the Indian communities and you wli'l see the real heart of the na tion.” the night before when the game went through one overtime period. In this last game the team as a whole showed tremendous scoring! power with five men making JO points or more. Of these five men, Borrevik and Hamilton were high with 22 and 15 points respectively. Borrevik with the 22 points he scored Saturday night brought his total for the four games to 60. Hamilton tops the league scor ers with 105 points and Borrevik is in second place with 97. Dick Humphreys and Norm Hen wood', two of the squads reserves, showed considerable improvement and will undoubtedly see plenty of action in the coming games with the Vandals here on the home court next Monday and Tuesday nights. The toughest part of the season is over for Hobby’s men. They have pi'ayed all their tough road games and with the exception of one trip to Corvallis, they are home to stay. In their remaining games they will play Washington State, Idaho, and Oregon State each twice. Tonight will be the first practice for the team after their road trip. They have had a long rest and will get down to business in preparing for the coming games. CAMPUS CALENDAR Supper Club—The Supper club will meet at the YWCA house at 5:30 today. Everyone is invited.

Jeannette Smith Hal Young Scores Hit In Concert of Gleemen By MARGUERITE WITTWER Like the wistful call of a muezzin from an ivory tower or the muted coloring of a Persian carpet, Hal Young’s solo, “Ah, Moon of My Delight’’ by Lehman with words from Omar Khayyam’s Rubaiyat, brought a maximum of applause from th audience of 200 which crowded McArthur court last night for the annual mid winter concert of the Eutrene Gleemen.

Hogan's Grocery and Cook's Market 544 E. 13th Phone 2066 Directed by John Stark Evans, professor of organ and theory of music, the Gleenien are Eugene business men; one does windows for a downtown store, another is a high school principal, another is registrar of the University. Half a hundred of them who sing be cause they like to. Proceeds from the concerts go to worthy causes such as !!ie county infantile par alysis fund. Sacco’s "Johnny the One” is the song of tiie America stripped for war, proud of her sons in battle, proud of their heritage . . . “John ny was young and strong and free; Holding his head courageously . , . laughing like any young kid; Bred ef the rivers and rocks and trees, tlie cry of the eagle ringing clear is the only bugle that Johnny can hear.” Mr. Young soloed in this number accompanied by the Glee men. \niong other outstanding num bers were: “Heavenly Light” (Kopylow) with its harmony of minor chords; “Calm as the Night” (Rohm) with the essential simpli city of the melody modified by Mr. Stark’s blending of tonal shading; and “The Arkansas Traveler”, an American folk song. The accom panying piano duo by Cora Moore Frey and Glen Griffith would have made interesting listening by itself because of the novelty of syncopa tion and even a hint of boogie. The Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn was founded in 1853. House Firesides Considered For Future Love Discussions Next year the Love and Marriage series may be in the form of longer house meetings and no assemblies, Charlotte Calder, chairman of the series, said Sunday afternoon at the close of the question and answer meeting in Guild hall. Miss Calder’s announcement followed comments on the success of the series. Because of the small attendance at the two Sunday meetings, it was suggested that these either be done away with, or that one longer assembly, at which attendance would' be re quired, be substituted. It was point ed out that house discussions allow for choice of specific problems and make for more freedom in exam ining the sfibject. Over an hour was spent by Dr. R. R. Huestis, professor of zoology, Dr. L. S. Bee, assistant professor of sociology, and Dr. Wesley G. Nicholson, pastor of the Congrega tional church, in answering writ ten questions. To the question, “How does mar riage fare if both the man and wife has a profession?” Dr. Nich olson answered that he and his wife are doing it successfully. Sat isfactory provisions must be made for the family and each must be willing to share the responsibil ities of a home, including house work, he said. Others on the plat form mentioned that leaving small children in others’ care did not al ways work successfully. “Should I consider marrying a person who writes with ardent phrases and whom I haven’t seen for over a year?” Dr. Bee’s reply to this question was that a good guide is using the “Criteria we would use in normal times,” more strictly applied because of current stress. “Sheltering” from sex knowledge and how to rid oneself of fear of it turned the discussion to a bio logical explanation by Dr. Huestis that sex is nothing new, and that children should learn about it be fore they become affected by emo tions. Reading the best literature available and consulting authori ties was* advised. A bibliography of love, marriage, and family was given to those at tending Sunday’s meeting. Copies are available at Westminster house, the information desk at the library, and at the dean of per sonnel's office. A more extensive!

Sexual relations before and after marriage was discussed for quite some time by the questioned lead^ crs. Comments on “What about trial marriages?’’ were that if one has to go into marriage with that big a question, it shouldn’t be tried, and that too many people expect to get out too easily. The concluding qustion was: “If a fellow is reported missing in action should a girl give up hope ?’’ Chances are slim after a few months, the army makes every at tempt to locate the missing, arid trie average missing service man will not return, was the answer given.
