To Distribute Magazine
- Housewives who visit the local
MacMarr store on Friday of this
week will have tucked among their
purchases a copy of the sparkling
national weekly, The Farmily Cir
cle, edited by Harry Evans, former
managing editor of Life, states J
A. Anglin, manager. The magazine
has been exclusively purchased by
MacMarrs and will be distributed
free of charge to customers in ap
preciation of the friendly relation
ship existing between them. Mr.
Anglin further states that the mag
azine is not a booster sheet or in
any sense a house organ. The Fam
ily Circle is a smartly edited sheet
and its contents are designed to ap
peal to the entire family, the var
ious departments including fiction
of the highest type, cinema re
views and interviews, radio, fash
ions, cosmetics, humor, foods and
contests. There will be three con
tests in the issue of Feb. 9 and the
prizes will total more than $100 each

any person calling at the MacMarr

a purchase or not.
U. 0. Student Debaters
Will Speak to Ctizens
Eugene. An entirely new system
of forensics, called the symposium
plan, which abolishes altogether the
old style debate where "judges"
weighed the "arguments" and
"methods of presentation" and then
gave a decision for the "affirmative
or negative" side, has been adopted
at the University of Oregon, it was
announced here recently by John L.
Casteel and W. A. Dahlberg, for
ensic directors. Under the new
system the teams will not just meet
other schools, but will go from com
munity to community over the state
and will present their questions
before audiences of citizens.
The season opened February 1,
when the students journeyed to
Westflr, near Eugene, and present
ed their views on the qustion, "Is
there an inequitable tax distribu
tion in the state of Oregon?"
"The whole object behind the new
plan is to train college men and
women so that they can approach
vital problems objectively and with
a scientific mind, states Mr. Cas
teel.
"It is our conviction that those
people who support our state insti
tutions are Interested in having
their young men and women who
are sent to college bring back to
their communities solutions to prob
lems that are current and vital."
Communities already on the
schedule Include Kerby, Glendale,
Aurora, Buell, Sheridan, Willaken-
zie, Portland, Westflr, and others.
A second question that will be
taken up by the squad is "Is there
a wasteful expenditure of the Ore
gon tax dollar with regard to our
public elementary and secondary
schools?

National AAA Borrows
O.S.C. Man for Period
Corvallis Roger Morse, extension
dairyman at Oregon Stale college,
has been called to Washington, D.

regional consultant in launching
the plans for a dairy production
control program. Morse has been
given a leave of absence for that
period from the extension service

and contacts gained in this special
service will add to his usefulness to
Oregon upon his return, say officials
of the college.
