'Wolf Ritual' Study Newly Published A monograph written by Alice H. Ernst, associate professor em eritus of English describing the spiritual wolf ritual ceremonies of Northwest Indian tribes, has just been published by the University Press. Entitled “The Wolf Ritual of the Northwest Coast,” material for the monograph was gathered the sum mer months from 1932 to 1940 from fieldwork along the North west Coast. Mrs. Ernst says the original structure of the ritual of the Wolves has now “weathered down into an enigma for students of primitive culture.” “The present study, therefore,” she says, “aims not so much to re construct by theory a fugitive first outline of the ritual, alluring as such an attempt might be, as to re i cord at first hand certain present day customs in its observance among those tribes still or recently < practicing its rites, before these quite vanish in the rapidly flowing ; wash of time.” i Mrs. Ernst is the wife of R. H. Ernst, professor emeritus of Ping- j 1 lish. The first recorded suggestion ; that the earth and other planets i revolve around the sun is attribut ed generally to Aristarchus, gn as tronomer who' lived on the Creejc 1 island of Samos about 205’ 12. C. I Berreman Cautions Against Coed Methods The coeds’ technique of holding men’s Interest will probably lead | to a divorce court if the girls con tinue to use the same methods after they are married, according to Joel V. Berreman, sociology de partment head. Berreman stressed that point at Tuesday night’s Marriage and Family series lecture in the Stu dent Union. His talk, "Courtship as Preparation for Marriage," was the second in a series of four lec tures sponsored by the YM and YWCA. Husband Won't Tolerate Flirting, and attempts to make a man jealous were cited as ex amples of co-eds’ weapons, which might work on campus, but which a husband won’t tolerate. Pointing out other errors in courtship, Berreman said, “Too often the basic motive in dating is seeking those who have prestige the BMOC's. Dating them be comes a sort of competitive game, an attempt to go out with the ’right people.’ ” Sex and Idealization Berreman explained that court ship is hindered by this sort of (luting, which is based on sex at traction and idealization. "This makes it difficult for the person to perceive reality, or dis miss the unimportant, which is j necessary when contemplating marriage,” he said. The thrill type date was also pointed out as a poor basis for j marriage. Berreman explained that i the sort of person who is a "scin- ] tillating date,” is apt to be bad marriage partner material. Heads, Not Heart Using your head, not your heart, to simply find a person whom you can get along with, is most im portant, he said. Tests have shown that traits which insure the greatest degree of happiness include: In women Kindly toward others; not easy to take offense; cooperative; not seeing rivalry in ! social situations; altruistic, con- j servative and conventional in poli- ' tics and morals, and methodical in j their work. Traits for HappnlesH In men Emotionally stable; co- i operative disposition; not feeling superior; unselfish; showing ini tiative; frugality; and being con servative in religion. Opposite traits, Berreninn said, are found in divorced couples. Most frequent complaints of this group include: Of wives Nagging; lacking af fection; selfish; Interfering with hobby; slovenly; complaining; con ceited; insincere; and quick-temp ered. Of husbands The same. There All the Time Bcrreman pointed out that these bad traits were not developed after marriage, but were there all the time. The people just didn’t take the time and trouble to look for them. “They were too much in love with love." Berreman stressed the import ance of analyzing the other per son's personality, "seeking the saiVie traits that you admire in friends of your own sex." Education Increases Chances Chances for a happy marriage increase witli the amount of for mal education the person has, he YM Officers Open For Petitioners Petitions for the offices of presi dent, vice-president, secretary and treasurer are being' called for by the YMCA, Jack Mernor, executive secretary has announced. The pe titions are due by noon Friday. Any YMCA members may nomi nate a candidate for an office by submitting a nomination in writing to the nominating committee by noon Friday.

Only about one In six mar rlages of college graduates will end in divorce, compared to one in three for the general popula tion. "Persons older then 20, with at least a year's engagement, have the best chance for a happy mar riage,' he said adding tha tthero is little hope for happiness for those who elope without having made a proper personality adjust ment. Talk Follow* Movie Berreman's lecture followed a short film showing the mistakes of a young couple who based their marriage on dreams und false ideals. Next week's speaker will be the Rev. Wayne Stauffer, marriage and family counselor, retired Moth j odist minister and a chaplain in World War II. His topic will be "Adjustment In Early Marriage.” 1 DP Opera Singer In Kitchen Now OTTOWA, Ont. (U.P) A Yugo slavian displaced person 1h living a Cinderella story in reverse here but hopes that it will have a happy ending yet. Libusa Cristianl, an outstanding operatic singer in her notlve coun trl, Is working as a domestic serv ant for the privilege of becoming a Canadian citizen. She has to look forward to another seven months of menial labor before abandoning her pots and pans to resume an interrupted singing career. Miss Cristiani came here last September. Under immigration rules, displaced women must put in at least one year as domestics before taking up work of their choosing. The tall, shapely singer is con sidered by Conductor H. Bram well Bailey of the Ottawa Grand Opera Company as prospective Metropolitan Opera material. "Miss Cristiani has a very, very good soprano voice,” Bailey said. ".She needs little training; her need is an opportunity to apply her tal ent in opera. And, she must learn English.” Miss Cristiani, who won acclaim in Trieste and Yugoslavia with her full-bodied Voice, spoke no English on her arrival In Canada. Persona! Letters Will be Needed For Duck Preview Lot's invito our senior high school friends down to Duck Pre view. The above request, from Preview General Chairman Jackie Wilkes, is especially directed to freshman men, she said. Miss Wilkes asked that fresh men contact high school seniors of their acquaintance, either directly on weekends or through personal letters. The letters could ask the seniors to come to Oregon for Duck Pre view weekend (Apr. 26-7) anil mention some of the events which will be featured, she explained. Official correspondence from tho Duck Preview weekend committee is not allowed this year, so this means of contacting the students has been adopted. It is the sole means of getting in touch with them for the weekend, the commit tee said. Cooperation of all students is hoped for, the committee stated, but freshmen are especially urged to contact prep friends, since they are more familiar with them. Oregon State college students have been inviting high school sen iors to that school's preview week end by means of letters.
