Many persons, upon see ing the motion picture, “Song to Remember,” became more inter ested in the music of Chopin, brilliant nineteenth century pian ist, and requested a concert of his music.

The thief, a man judged to be 21 to 23 years of age, entered the store when no one was there except Sidney Claypool, the pro prietor. When Claypool waited on him the burglar informed Claypool that it was a “stick up.” He ordered Claypool to lock the door and to open both cash registers. When he had taken the money from both of these he ' demanded the money from the safe and then followed Claypool into the back of the store to be sure there was no money on the premises. Then he had the door unlocked and as he left he told Claypool that he had better not try to telephone for help as he had two buddies waiting outside. Clay pool locked the door and called the police but the man had escaped before they arrived. No one in the neighborhood had noticed the escape and it is be lieved that the robber did not have a car. Although the burglar is said to have seemed nervous he ap parently had planned the job carefully for he chose Monday which is the biggest day for the store as students have not had a chance to do their purchasing over the weekend. As he wore gloves no fingerprints were available. Accordihg to the police, the ^man is believed to be the same one who has held up several other establishments’ in Eugene recently as the same method was used on all occasions.

Animals Can Own Property Claims UO Zoology Professor A comparison of animal biological economics and behavior with human economic and social problems will be the opening theme of the University lecture series, by Dr. Ralph R. Huestis, professor of zoology, Thursday, Oct. 25, in 12 Friendly, with a discussion of the “Biology of Possessions.” The popular be lief that man is the only animal capable of owning property is wrong, Dr. Huestis said; for in the animal kingdom many animals own and improve property and some that start life poor can be come rich. Simple Forms In simple forms of animal life the animals don’t own much prop erty, said Dr. Huestis, but as ani mals become more social the dif ficulty of obtaining property in creases. The animal with a thirst for property usually has the ability to secure and defend his property rights, shows Dr. Huestis, but it becomes difficult for the animal to act for the interests of the group when he becomes more so cial, since he must not infringe too much on the rights of other animals. Nevertheless, said Dr. Huestis, this problem of property has been solved in many animal groups. Intriguing Topic In speaking of Dr. Huestis and his topic, Dr. P. L. Risley said, “His topic is intriguing and he is eminently qualified to talk on this subject.” This shall be the first of this 3rear’s University lectures designed for students, faculty and towns people interested. There will be four University profesosrs and sev eral visiting profesors to speak in forthcoming lectures. ^ Tickets on Sale Tickets to “Ladies of the Jury” will go on sale in John son hall this morning at 10.
