Gaylord i-ecture Gives Marriage Tips HAL LARSON | The stability of marriage depends bn mutually satisfying personal re lationships, Dr. J. V. Berreman, as sociate professor of sociology, told [his audience in Fenton hall Tuesday flight, in the second lecture of this term’s Youth and Marriage series. Dr. Berreman, speaking on the Sociological Aspects of Marriage,” described the present marital trend hs “shifting from institutional or jsocial to personal or companion ship.” No longer, he said, are eco nomic security, social standing, and Convenience the primary reasons for marrying. “The present mar riage is born of desire for personal psychological satisfactions.” Interest, Advantageous A large number of common in terests were deemed advantageous but not essential to a successful pnarriage. Dr. Berreman denied the Cdetention that opposites should marry, but said that young people contemplating matrimony should know each other better than the somewhat superficial person pre sented when only the best foot is forward. Dr. Berreman held it unwise to attempt greatly to change one an other, suggesting the alternative of “applying the same common sense you do to other friendships” when viewing faults. “If you respect the individuality .independence, and in tegrity of your mate, your marriage has a better chance for success.” Equality Important As a replacement for the system of male dominance, the educator of fered the proposition of an “equali tarian marriage,” whereby the woman is an individual rather than a supplement. He supported her right to work if she chose, remind ing the audience that “Marriage is, after all, a democratic partnership.” In the question session after the lecture, Dr. Berreman said that Ehile unequal educational back ounds could affect the picture, i-nere is not much of a handicap if the man has had more education.” Second speaker in the present Youth and Marriage series, spon sored by the general extension divi sion and the E. C. Brown trust, Dr. Berreman exchanged speaking dates with Deane Seeger, Eugene city manager, and Dr. Victor Mor ris, dean of the school of business administration, both of whom will speak Tuesday, April 22.

Mountain Avocation Mountain climbing is Mitropou los’ avocation, when he has any spare time. “I have climbed almost every well-known mountain on the west coast,” he stated, “but I have found none that compare with the Teton’s. I prefer granite moun tains when climbing,” he added, “since one then does not have to worry so much about slides or shale.” Both Mitropoulos and Wilson became quite engrossed in their discussion of Three Fingered Jack (not a bandit, but a mountain close to the Three Sisters in cen tral Oregon), and when the con ductor has time he plans to re turn to Oregon for some relaxa tion (mountain climbing!). Quartet Purest Music At the close of 1947, Mitropou los will have conducted the Min neapolis Symphony orchestra, the New York Philharmonic orchestra and the Robin Hood Del orchestra in Philadelphia. (What spare time.) “I regard the string quartette as the purest expression of mu sic,” Mitropoulos said, “and after it I would place the piano and orchestra, but of course every con ductor has a different opinion on the matter.” This answer came as a result of a discussion between Mrs. Gaylord and the conductor, and the two found they were in complete agreement on the sub ject.

Film Emulator of Jungle Noises Exhibits His Collection of Fauna By PAT KING A dash of Hollywood struck the campus yesterday in the person of Mr. Tommy Tucker, sound man extraordinare. “My specialty is jungle sounds." said the white haired Mr. Tucker, and then proceeded to startle the occupants of the third floor of Friendly hall hy impressively bending at the waist and coming up with the sound of a full blown hurricane. Heads of nonplussed professors bobbed into the hallway to cast puzzled glances in our innocent di rection. He went on to oblige with a talking pig, four different kinds of ducks (including Donadd), and a scrappy terrier dog. Complete with California sun tan, brown and white sport jacket, yellow plaid shirt, and a red, white and blue necktie, Mr. Tucker added a festive note to the speech department as he demonstrated his ability to manipulate his esophagus. En route from Hollywood where he has worked for Walt Disney, Every Animated Cartoon Co., mo tion picture companies, and ap peared on network radio shows like Fibber McGee and Molly, Tucker plans to visit his mother in Milwaukee, Oregon. Tucker is no relation to the bandleader.
