CONTENTS FOR JANUARY, 193 1 OREGON ALUMNI CHAIRMEN ALL OVER THE WORL D At Homecoming the plan for Oregon Alumni Chairmen all over the world was enthusiastically received by the AIumn i Council. The plan was presented at the semi-annual meeting, and the Alumni Secretary was instructed to procee d with the organization . Letters are arriving daily from alumni all over the United States expressing their willing - ness to co-operate . The response has been most satisfying . An occasional letter expresses doubt as to ability o r time to act, but for the most part the answers have indicated a cheerful acceptance of the responsibility . There ar e still some answers to be received and it is hoped that they will be in the alumni office before the February issu e goes to press . The list of Chairmen thus far is printed below .

JOHNSON HAL L the administration building OLD OREGO N Two Years Out of Fifty-four By JIM GILBERT, 3 C ONSPICUOUS progress in expanding functions, ne wtypes of organization, changing curricula and improve d methods of instruction accomplished under the handicap o f restricted resources is the theme that runs through the eighty eight page typewritten repOrt of Dr . Arnold Bennett Hall t o the New Board of Higher Education . It is expected that th e document will be published along with other similar report s from the College and the Normal Schools and will be circulate as a state document Following the suggestion of Dr . E. E . Lindsay, executive secretary of the Board, the biennial report takes its outlin e and sequence of topics from the classified items in the ne w budget forms adopted under his direction. The income of th e University, which from all sources amounted to $4,169,522 if the Medical School is included, is derived from three mai n sources, (1) state funds including millage taxes, appropriatio for Medical School and special appropriation for researc h and extension made for the first time by the legislature o f 1929, (2) student tuitions and fees, and (3) gifts from educa- tional foundations and the general public t fact that the thirty-five hundred students enrolled at Eugen e and in Portland contributed during the biennium nearly a million dollars to the cost of their own education . If thi s amount is set against the cost of instruction of which it i s properly reckoned as a part, some forty per cent of the in- struction cost is borne by the students themselves dent contribution is, of course, a varying per cent as you pass from one department or school to another s to nine-tenths of the total ; students in physical educatio n pay one-half of instruction costs and in architecture the stu- dentsshare is forty per cent . During the two years jus t passed the University received nearly three-quarters of a mil lion in gifts . One of the largest items here recorded was th e gift from the General Education Board for the Outpatien t Clinic Building to be used in connection with the Medica l School e completion last spring of the Fine Arts Building, a memoria l to Prince Lucien Campbell, which is now being occupied b y the Murray Warner Collection of Oriental Arts . But for the increasing contributions from the student s and the generosity of the public, the University would hav e been seriously crippled for the want of funds . Alumni hav e been frequently reminded of the disparity between the revenu from the millage taxes of 1913 and 1920 and the growin g enrollment of the institution. While the instruction load ha s nearly doubled since 1920, the yield of the millage taxes ha s increased but thirteen and six-tenths per cent. "Even with increasing revenues from fees pushed to the point where the become a serious hardship to young men and women earnestl seeking an education and also exceptional revenues fro m gifts that are not likely to recur, the University has outgrown its income and its plant" One of the most important topics dealt with under th e head of "General," one of the budget headings, is the Uni- versity Library . The hook collections are being increased at the rate of sixteen thousand volumes annually, and the total number of books issued for home use and in the readin g rooms ran to the enormous total of five hundred and fifty - two thousand during the year 1929. is a significant fac t that the students at Oregon make larger use of librar y material than at any institution of learning for which dat a are available. In this particular, too, there has been a marked increase in the past ten years due largely to the changin g methods of instruction under which the student is compelled to dig for himself with less assistance from instructors an d standard text hooks . The increasing number of graduat e students and the extension of honors work in the leadin g schools and departments has contributed to this end n two years the number of graduate students in regular an d summer session increased from three hundred and fifty-seve to four hundred and twenty-one. Graduate students with in- dependent research problems and theses for the advance d degrees naturally make extensive use of library collections. At the beginning of the year 1928-29 the new lowe r division organization, after the pattern of the junior colleg e and with its division of college departments into four group s each with its survey course introductory to the work of affili- ated departments, and "sophomore options" for individua l departments, became effective s arrangement precludes the possibility of choosing a majo r in the liberal arts college until the beginning of the junio r year, substituting for the departmental major a group o f principal interest still very broad in its inclusion . Sinc e sophomore options were in the main fundamental offering s of the department which had long been offered, the chie f curricular change was the introduction of the survey course; and on this new departure the dean of the college and th e lower division committees have concentrated their attentio n with a view to perfecting the content and the pedagogy. Th e number of instructors assigned to the standard freshma n courses has been increased and the work given in smalle r sections is now given in five parallel sections with seventy-five to ninety student s in each. Through a specially equipped class room in the 6 OLD OREGON JANUARY, 1931 DenARNOLD BENNETT HALL , who is now in his fifth year as President of the University of Oregon . south end of Friendly Hall (formerly a part of the dinin g room), it has been possible to introduce carefully planne d demonstrations in connection with the lectures as a substitut for laboratory work . One objection to survey courses hear d generally at Oregon as elsewhere is that they prove to o elementary to the specially gifted student and encourag e habits of indolence at the outset . Faculty legislation ha s met this objection by providing that students who scor e high on the intelligence tests and come from the upper quar- tile of the high school class can be advanced at once to th e sophomore option course, which is recognized as a substitut for the survey course in fulfilling the group requirement . Tests Planned for Survey Course Moreover, a faculty committee is now working on the task of devising a suitable test which will probably be given next yea in all sur v t familiarity with the content and point of view of the cours e in which he has made provisional registration will be advanced to courses of sophomore standing t two years the lower division has sought to recognize th e strength of the high school training and avoid duplication, an at the same time seek to supplement the deficiencies of pre- paratory work by properly chosen courses in the first tw o years. During the biennium the Department of Sociology, former- ly organized as a school, was annexed to the liberal arts col- lege and became one of its twenty disciplines . At the sam e time the School of Social Work, a Portland establishment , was reorganized and expanded into the School of Applie d Social Science. As the name indicates, the new school in - tends to enter a field of teaching and training of researc h and investigation and public service as broad as the whol e group of social science. Unfortunately, the limited budget o f the University makes it impossible to realize at once th e program of the school so splendidly conceived by Dean Phili A. Parsons. In one important direction the research activit y of the school was expanded through the use of funds con- tained in the special appropriation of 1929 . A crime surve y which may have important practical consequences in the re- organization of court procedure and the care of the crimina l class was undertaken by the School of Applied Social Science in cooperation with Law, Political Science and Psychology . Dean Parsons has also been successful in enlisting financial aid fromeastern foundations and from public-spirited citizens of Portland in carrying out specific surveys and in establish- ing training work in Lane County and in the City of Portland. The seventy thousand dollar appropriation for each tw o years also made possible some enlargement of the extensio n work through establishing classes in some of the smaller towns about the state and by increasing somewhat the offerings o f the correspondence school. In the field of research also som e notable studies were made by the School of Business into the factors determining the prosperity of Oregon industries an d access on favorable terms to outside markets. Funds from th e same source enabled the School of Education to undertak e county surveys of school systems in Oregon and results o f their findings are now in process of publication . Even wit h the added funds for research arid the meager amount it wa s possible to divert from the millage taxes, the expenditur e for research falls far short of the proper quota . With a field of research activity as broad as that now open to th e University, an expenditure of two hundred thousand for re - search, investigation and public service could be easily jus- tified and would be fruitful of large results in the uphuilding of the commonwealth. Travelling Summer School A new departure in the field of summer school wor k which intends to combine formal instruction with opportuni- ties for travel and observation was started in 1929 with th e first Alaskan cruise, repeated in the summer of 1930 . Las t summer also marked the beginning of a more ambitious ven- ture in the first summer cruise to Hawaii, where instructio n was given in cooperation with the Island University e expeditions were planned and executed on a self-supportin g basis tion a sum sufficient to cover all expenses, and this ne w type of summer school instruction which has brought credi t and fame to the University has been financed without cos t to the taxpayer . The summer school administration is a t present considering the possibility of a still more extende d voyage to Japan during the summer of 1031, The work of the University in the field of fine arts ha s now attracted nation-wide attention and tangible recognition has come to it in successive grants from eastern foundations for the maintenance of a teachers training center, the grant- ing of scholarship in art and a ten thousand dollar grant for JANUARY, 1931 OLD OREGON 7 the investigation of teaching methods in art, music and liter- ature. The attitude of Dr . Hall in promoting the impor- tance of art appreciation and of music in the liberal trainin g of the college man and woman has called for favorable com- ment from art teachers throughout the country The number of graduate students seeking a Ph .D. degree in education has suggested to the administration the possi- bility of building at the University of Oregon a school o f education that will be regional in the same sense that ou r Medical School in Portland serves the Pacifie Northwest . An eastern foundation has already been approached to enlis t financial assistance in developing at Eugene a school of edu- cation that will occupy an unique position in the educational life of the Northwest . A faculty .of outstanding ability, a re- searehprogram reaching every phase of educational problems and an experimental school as a laboratory for the testing of educational theories for soundness and salutary effect would be features of the new project . The eastern foundation , which has manifested an interest in the institution, has been asked to provide a building and make a substantial contri- bution to the maintenance for a period of years . Medical School Receives Recognitio The Medical School has, during the two years, several time attracted attention by its outstanding contributions to research. Through the gift of the General Education Board and th e construction of the Outpatient Clinic Building it has been abl to extend its hospital facilities in a satisfactory way . Th e standard of admission is maintained and the limit on enroll- ment observed in spite of the fact that four or five candi- dates apply every year for every person that can be admitted. With a selected student body, a faculty of unusual abilit y and a passion for research and leadership in public healt h work, the Medical School rises to first rank among the in- stitutions of its kind in the West . In accord with Dr . Hall program of extending to th e whole student body the opportunity of learning to appreciate good music, certain classes in principles and history and ap- preciation have been opened up to registrants on more favor- able terms. By assuming on the general budget a large r share of the instruction costs, the student of limited mean s is not barred out by fees he can not afford to pay . At th e same time, under active encouragement from the administra- tion, the School of Music has cooperated with the Associated Students and with musical organizations of Eugene in bring- ing to the campus concerts, oratorios and symphonies tha t supply an opportunity to learn appreciation by contact wit h the best Two Buildings Are Erected Through Gifts The biennial report naturally pays considerable attentio n to the question of capital outlays . During the two year s 1929-30, the University, including the Medical School, ex- pended for buildings a total of six hundred and ten thousand dollars. This total is largely accounted for by two structures , the Museum of Fine Arts at Eugene and the Outpatien t Clinic Building for the use of the Medical School in Portland. Both of these were constructed from gifts to the institution .. It will be noted also that, although both of these building s represent important additions to the physical plant, neithe r affords any material relief for the congestion affectin g classrooms, laboratories and office space. The plant at the University is undeniably below standard. A recent report on the building situation at the Universit y refers to figures compiled by the United States Office of Edu- cation showing the value of buildings for universities an d colleges throughout the country . By combining these wit h figures on enrollment contained in the same bulletin, it is possible to calculate investment per student in building an d structures. Some universities like Louisiana, Mississippi , Michigan, Delaware and Colorado have upwards of fiftee n hundred dollars per student in buildings exclusive of dormi- tories, and the average for state universities is above on e thousand dollars. The University of Oregon falls as low a s six hundred and sixty-two dollars even when the Medica l School is included. When state universities are arranged i n rank order with respect to the adequacy of plant, Orego n falls to thirty-fourth place in the list . If the IVfed;eftl ,qchool with a somewhat more ample plant is figured out, only fou r state universities fall below Oregon in per capita investmen t in buildings exclusive of dormitories. The average for eleve n western state universities is twenty per cent above the Oregon figure . It should be remembered also that our building s belong largely to two classes, those of very early construction like Deady, Villard, McClure, the Library and the Men Gym- nasium, and those constructed immediately after 1920 whena modest margin on the increased millage taxes made possibl e some capital outlays. The buildings of early construction are in all cases ill adapted to modern educational demands and some are of historic and sentimental interest only. These antiquated structures still in use are reckoned into the inventory a t original cost. Buildings constructed after 1920 are moder n in type ; but were erected at a time when building costs wer e unusually high, and are therefore overcapitalized in the in- ventory of plant . The increasing enrollment following 192 0 soon absorbed the entire millage revenue for instruction costs and necessary maintenance, and the only important additions to the plant in the past six years have been McArthur Cour t built from student building fees, the new Men Dormitor y from a bond issue and the Fine Arts Building, the gift o f alumni and citizens of Oregon . Library Is Imperative Need Although nearly every school and department is in nee d of either additional room or space better suited to its needs , the central need of all is the imperative necessity for a ne w library building. The biennial report deals at some lengt h with this phase of the capital outlay problem. The old librar y building was completed in 1906, when the student enrollment was less than one-tenth of the present figure g service of the library, referred to elsewhere in this article, has compelled an overflow into other buildings where branc h libraries, storage rooms and reserve libraries have preempted space belonging to and badly needed by other schools an d departments, besides confusing and inconveniencing librar y patrons and increasing unduly the cost of administration. Th e contrast between the University of Oregon and other institu- tions with respect to adequacy of library plant is well illus- trated by figures collected by Mr . Douglass regarding th e value of library plant in relation to student attendance. Th e University of Oregon stands next to the bottom in a long list, While Yale boasts an investment of nearly sixteen hundre d dollars per student in her new library and Dartmouth, wit h twenty-one hundred students, has one million two hundre d thousand dollars in her main library building, the University of Oregon has barely twenty dollars per student . Takin g libraries constructed since 1923 as a basis of comparison, the average investment per student runs as high as three hundre and twenty-three dollars. On this basis, our library shoul d represent an investment of upwards of a million dollars . The biennial report makes clear the strategic importanc e of the new library as a means of relieving the congestion a t various points. With the vacation of the old structure, it i s to be altered in such a way as to accommodate the Law School which will occupy the upper floor and the adjacent stacks . The removal of the Law School from Oregon Hall will allow 8 OLD OREGON aANUARY, 193 1 more room now badly needed for foreign language depart- ments. The lower floors of the converted library buildin g will be used as offices, classrooms and research rooms fo r social science departments now jammed into Commerce to the embarrassment and detriment of the work in Business Admin- istration. Commerce is none too commodious for a professional school with six hundred majors and an increase of twenty-four per cent in two years in its enrollment . To remove the mai n reserve library from the location in Condon Hall would mak e available, increased space now badly needed by Geology an d Psychology . The activity of the present Geology staff in col- lecting valuable material as well as the accumulated treasures in the Condon Collection creates a problem . There is no w no suitable space for storage and display . Psychology, on e of the most popular departments on the campus, has a frac- tion of the laboratory space needed by staff members an d students e closed many days before registration is complete. The University requested budget for 1931-32 contained an item for five hundred thousand dollars for a new library an d twenty thousand dollars for repairs and alterations on th e old structure mittee of the Board unanimously endorsed and approved the request f Higher Education and the Legislature . Only an unusua l financial situation and the prospects of mounting deficits could prevent legislative recognition of a need once approved in a tangible way by the legislature of 1927 only to meet with th e Governor veto. The need for a new library is central, vita l and amounts to an emergency. By bond issues, by specia l taxes or by some other legitimate financial device, this great- est need of a growing university must be met unless the effi- ciency of University education is to be seriously affected. Toward the end of the biennial report the University ad - ministration makes reference to the oft-repeated plea tha t the students themselves should make larger contributions to the cost of their education. These passages can be quoted i n full and make a rather fitting conclusion to this running stir- of the high points in the biennial report "It is significant to note also that the students themselves through tuition charges and course fees are expected to make a contribution of nearly a million dollars to the cost of thei r education fied as a credit against the cost of instruction, and represent nearly forty per cent of the total instruction expense . I n the light of these facts, the claim that students should make still further contribution to the expense of their educatio n should not meet with popular favor . When this method o f financing higher education is urged, it is on the ground tha t the students are the chief beneficiaries and, as such, shoul d pay the cost of their education . This doctrine, pushed to it s logical conclusion, would mean a return to private schools , and a repudiation of the whole theory of popular educatio n at public expense. `The education of the child,says the lat e Henry Carter Adams, `is a matter of more concern to societ y than it is to the individual himself .In the field of highe r education in particular, where men and worrien are trained for potent leadership and with a conception of social welfare, the public are the chief beneficiaries and the contributions the y make through taxes an investment in the future of the state. Neither should we overlook the fact that the fees paid ar e not the only contribution that students and parents make to the cost of their education. The living costs, direct outlays fo r books and equipment and the loss of earning power while i n residence must be considered . University authorities hav e calculated that not more than one-seventh of the actual cost of higher education is contributed by the state. Iir the ligh t of the sacrifice which students and parents make, it is no t unreasonable to ask that the studentsdollar should be matched by the states fifteen cents. "To accept the theory referred to above, that the students pay the whole cost, would be undemocratic and indefensibl e as a form of public policy . It would debar from the field o f higher education many of those best qualified for scholarl y achievement and service to society. Selection there must be , and rigorous and rising standards of scholarship are achiev- ing this end in the right way. The policy of selecting accord- ing to economic status, on the basis of ability to pay rathe than ability to learn, is repugnant to the basic principles o n which democratic society is assumed to rest Oregon Faculty Man Is Honore d O PENING up a new field of research in biology tha tmay lead to discoveries that will enable men to som e day control fatigue, a paper entitled Permeability an d Fatigue in Muscle and Its Bearing on the Problem of Io n Antagonism has won for Dr . Ernst Gellhorn, professor o f animal biology at the University, the New York Academy o f Sciences award for 1930 for experimental biology . The award, a Creesy Morrison memorial, is regarded a s the outstanding recognition for research in this field . Th e prize won by Dr . Gellhorn was announced at the same time that prizes were bestowed on Professor U . Von Zeipel o f Sweden for astronomy, and on Professor Douglas Johnson o Columbia for a paper on the physical sciences . It also ear- ries with it a cash award of $250, which Dr . Gellhorn plans to use for further research Dr. Gellhorn paper gives the results of a series o f studies he has carried on with cells of frogs in an attempt t o prevent fatigue by use of calcium salts . "We know that th e surface layer of cells becomes more permeable if the cell i s stimulated," Dr . Gellhorn explains . " Therefore, a muscl e becomes more permeable if it works. On the other hand, w e know that fatigue of muscle which sets in after prolonge d periods is accompanied by an abnormally high degree of per- meability. It is to be expected that fatigue could be retarde d if it were possible to decrease the permeability of the muscl e without diminishing its irritibility. "Experiments with a surplus of calcium were effective . We have to do the experiment with extremely specific effec t of calcium ions, because no other salt is able to replace it . The general importance of the paper may be seen in it s application of ion antagonism, and from this may arise it s practicability in the field of fatigue ." Dr. Gellhorn came to the University of Oregon last yea r from Halle University, Germany, where for ten years he wa s professor of physiology . He is the author of numerou s scientific papers which have won recognition in the scientific field, and in 1926 published a textbook, Recent Advances in Physiology . He has just completed a textbook on genera l physiology which is to be published in a few weeks . In the specific field of cells and physiology of sens e organs, Dr. Gellhorn has published more than eighty paper s giving results of research . The prize-winning research project was carried on her e as one of the University research projects, and it has wo n warm praise from Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall and others on the faculty who have watched Dr . JANUARY, 1931 OLD OREGON 9 Two for Twenty-six---a Bargain fo r Our Married Grads By JOHN DIERDORFF,2 . ItD ON forget to write a jingle for us," reminds th e Editor of OLD OREGON in a recent note . "Yon migh t use as your theme the fact that while life memberships in the Alumni Association are $25 apiece, it is now possible for th e wise Oregon grad to secure life memberships for two at th e special bargain rate of $26." Well, that ought to be easy . Let see now . How abou t something on this order "Life memberships," said Sadie Hicks , "Are selling two for twenty-six , "I buy a couple, but I doubt , "If I could live the Burned things out! " Not so bad, eh? But wait a minute . On looking at Jean- nettes letter again it seems that I off on the wrong tangent. "Life memberships for two," is what she says . That must mean that two (2) separate, distinct an d individual individuals can become life members by paying the sum total of twenty-six dollars ($26). Buy one at the regula r rate and get the second one for only a dollar more . Like a one-cent sale at a chain drug-store. A good idea . The Circu- lation Manager must have a woman intuition as to the value of bargains. Ought to be a lot of inspiration in it . Let go ! If you married a co-ed, boy, here is your chance , To cut down the cost of that college rorn,ance , For the first time since Lee got old Adam in trouble , You both can join up without paying double ! The trouble with that is that it too indefinite . Georg e Turnbull would pencil a lot of questions on a news story a s bad as that. "Join what What the regular rate? Th e special rate? Who is authority for the statement? Authorit y for reference to Adam and Eve" And so on . All right for you, George Turnbull! Just try yourself t o put "life memberships in the University of Oregon Alumn i Association are now offered at the special rate of two fo r $26" in a rhyme. Come on, now, let see you do it! I though t so. Speaking of journalism, as we might as well be under the circumstances, I wonder how many realize thatOLD OREGON is decidedly one of the better alumni magazines in any or al l of the forty-eight United States . It really is . Twenty-fiv e dollars is none too much to pay for a life subscription, an d it a steal at two for twenty-six . But I getting away from my assignment, I ought to b e writing jingles, not editorials . However, I not going to . Instead, I think Il call up one of the fellows and see if I can get him to match for a membership . If I lucky , Il get mine for a dollar . 10 OLD OREGON JANUARY, 1931 The New Mode in Sian g on the Campus By GLEN GODFREY, 2 It\~// ELL, Palsy Walsy, here s the dope on the new cam - pus vocabulary." There a new mode in slang a t Oregon, modem slang if you please, and the old grad mus t have more than a Phi Beta Kappa key to find his wa y around in the new vocabulary . Gangsters themselves hav e nothing on students when it comes to making Webster writhe in his shroud. All passes in the slang language . No phrase weather s many terms . The hearty collegian of the peg-toppe d trouser days who hailed his co-ed by some such endearing ter as "Tootsy-Wootsy" would have a hard time registering o n the modern campus as a "hot-shot." Th e present generation would merely lift a lazy eyebrow and remark, "What s come over you PaliCan you spea k plainly?" So, for the sake of the old-timer , here a campus vocabulary of the pop- ular type, compiled to order . After a careful perusal of this article the ol d grad can bandy the latest campu s banter with the best of m , Greet your campus friends with a "Hello Doc," or " Hello Butch," or us e "Pal," if that suits your taste better . Heres another, "Palsy Walsy ." Rol l that on your tongue . It a term tha t may be applied either to the mor e deadly of the species or to the masculine sex. Now when you arrive at your fraternity, don ring, jus t burst in with the yell, "Hello you foul-balls?" (That a ter m that requires a nice voice inflection y manner it means "Hello fellows," but with a derisive tone i t denotes criticism d out to be!" ) When the old grad gets "all hottened-up" (meaning ful l of pep and enthusiasm) and craves a little excitement he can get one of the brothers to get him a"heavy-date" with a co-ed. Procedure after getting the social engagement is to trot ou t the "huddle-buggy" (sports roadster, or any kind of auto - mobile) and get his "Babe." The most popular pastime whil e dating is a dance, which is called a "brawl" in the loca l vernacular. When gliding about the waxed floor to th e strains of. My Baby Just Cares for life it is appropriate fo r the gentleman to remark, "That band is plenty hot! " , or , "That music is kinda-right in there ." The co-ed usualI y comes back with the remark, "This is a swell little deal ." Unless, alas, the feminine half of the date is a bit "griped" with the entertainment, when she may comment thusly, "No, I think it s lousy," or "It doesn make a ripple on me ." After the "brawl" if the co-ed is of the "chisler" typ e (similar to gold-digger) she may decide she is hungry He r cry for nourishment will be clothed in approximately th e following words, "Gee, wouldn you like to play Santa Clau s and give a poor little gal a break . I so hungry I doubt i f I can make it home." Then, just to be nonchalant, she usually finishes the remark with "But maybe I shouldn have men- tioned it ." The gallant escort . comes back with a snapp y "0 . K . by me, What-you-like-Joe?" Which permits her t o reply, "Well I kinda fixed that up, let go in here ." After the "lover" (one who indulges in social activitie s with the opposite sex) gets his date back to her home he may develop a tendency to become romantic. In his efforts to ge t the idea over to his little pal he may endeavor to "hang a gooper" on her ("hanging a gooper" in standard Englis h means kissing or is synonymous with the old fashioned ter m of "spooning") . The co-ed usually answers this action wit h a little verbal retort which runs in this fashion : "I don believe I care for anyhome-work this evening, run alon g now" ("home-work" is commonly accepted to mean a roman - tic date) . Other favorites in the campus vo- cabulary, old as well as new, are a s follows: "Sike" short for psychology . "Crime"-refers to the study of crimin- ology. "Eton" - meaning economics . "Libe"-library . "X"-a quiz or exam- ination. "Work-out" - another substi- tute for the word dance . "Looking - sweet" means very nice . "Old-Joe - Senooth"---used as a compliment y Pal" can he used with or without sar- casm. "Throat-cutter"- another ter m for one who is a double-crosser or a violator of trust . "Handshaker"-on e who attempts too much flattery, usuall with an ulterior motive in view . "Boloney-merchant" - one who is a braggart. "Judge"--a student who talks at great lengths in the classroom discussions s follows: He goes for her and she goes for him-result - "Gophering." "Pure Quill"-true knowledge of the situation o r topic under discussion (usually used in the following manner " And that, pal, is the pure quill"). "K . O." meaning all righ t or that fine . "What-a-rnan"-used to discipline one who is a "Boloney-merchant "Maybe I wrong" used to cover u p a preceding inane remark . " Hot-shot"-used in addressin g one who has a tendency to be a trifle superior. "Big-shot" - similar to "Hot-shot ." "Haven got a prayer"-used whe n a course of action is apparently futile . "Give him a break " -used to influence a decision one way or the other . "Slug- nutty"-meaning one who is suffering from a mental dis- order. "Squirrelly"-one who has an idea which is a trifl e naive or does not meet with the approval of the group . "Sissy-kisser"-a person who has a tendency to be well - dressed . "Bull-fest " -an intimate chat with friends. "Head-man"-one who ha s authority. "Smart-crackin"-making puns or clever remarks . " Pansy"-indicates a tendency to be slightly effiminate . "Empty suit"-co-eds use it to describe a man who fails t o appeal. "Kinda-told-m"-used to preface remarks and to indicate action. "Rat-race"-a down town dance . "Heel" - one who fails to please his friends or who acts in a booris h manner . "Youre nuts" -used to show dissatisfaction with the action of a friend . After this vocabulary is mastered the old grad can joi n in the conversation without causing a ripple in the flow o f words. However, great care and judgment must be used i n choosing the proper tonal inflections of the slang-words or i t may cause an old friend to take offense. JANUARY, 1931 OLD OREGON 11 A Review of Dr . Benjamins New Book By WILLIAM S . HOPKINS,'25 e diamond . An Introduction to Human, Proble,ns, Harold Benjamin, Ph .D., Houghto n Mifflin, 1930 . DR,. BENJAMIN " hook is one which will be received i n. The general reader, quite possibly, will fail to know what th e author is trying to do . quently condemn it. But the teacher of college orientatio n courses will welcome it, at least in part. As a contribution to academic literature, it is a significant production. Dr . Benjamin seeks to organize human problems and then to point out the y may be solved. There are four general classes of these prob- lems: the economic, the political, the aesthetic, and the reli- gious t solved, but the scientific method is shown to be applicable in each case - though considerable pressure is needed, in many cases, t o make things fit . For example, religion is treated as bein g composed of two elements : superstition (bad) and socia l philosophy (good) . Dr . Benjamin seems to have no roo m for a personal God, for a Hegelian Absolute, or for Einstein s "Cosmic God." He is tolerant of such concepts, but find s true religious stability not in them, but in the social philosoph which he thinks he sees beneath , though retaining its ancient method of revelation in matter s of spiritual belief, may perfect its service to humanity by th e method of exact description used in science , this seems to be an entirely too easy solution n hint at the profound depths of the problem. Perhaps the reviewer is being harsh in selecting his illus- tration from the chapter which is most readily open to criti- cism. But numerous other chapters, notably the one o n aesthetics, are subject to similar charges of superficiality e chapters dealing with the sciences are greatly to be preferred as being largely free from the above charges . The chief significance of the book lies in its comprehensiv scientific attitude. It is a valiant attempt to synthesize th e various mental disciplines, and to present the wide array o f human problems under the aspect of science . Mau is pre- sented as "the problem-solver," and the scientific method i s held up as the only valid method by which he may solve hi s problems .not lie in the success or failure Dr. Benjamin received his B.A. from Oregon in 1921, his M .A.. i n 1924 Ph.D. degree was completed at Stanford in 1927 . of Dr . Benjamin attempt as such, but in the doubtful possi- bility of its being done at all . But in his attempt, he is a spokesman of his day, and possibly a prophet of the future- the near future. As a text-book, however, the hook may be considered fro a different point of view . It is designed as a text for a n orientation course for college freshmen. Dr . Benjamin ex- perience at the University High School, Eugene, at the Hig h School, Palo Alto, and in the education department at Stan - ford, has qualified him to understand and meet the needs of such students s "teachable," and probes as deeply, perhaps, as freshmen ar e usually expected to go . Many chapters are among the bes t available brief statements of intricate problems ters should also appeal to the layman, and the "general reader" could use the book with profit and pleasure-remem- bering always that some of Dr. Benjamin easy solutions are really just the starting place . But to most readers, thes e easy solutions will be provocative of further thought . A word must be added about the style . Dr . Benjamin writes exceedingly well-lucid, smooth, and apt. It is delight- ful reading, full of sparkle and anecdote . This alone ; per- haps, should qualify the book for considerable use wit h freshmen , an achievement which, in itself, is noteworthy 4s 41s Absence as a Factor in Scholarship "A dillar, a dollar, a cut-his-class csholar," (Mothe r Goose, revamped) What effect does absence from class have on the qualit y of work which the student does in college? Not such a ba d one as is sometimes supposed, according to an investigatio n just completed by the University of Oregon Personnel Re - search Bureau r factor in scholastic achievement, the investigators found, yet absence from class is very seldom, or never, a completely in- different factor inscholastic achievement. Regular attendance should be encouraged and promoted by professors as muc h as possible, the investigators recommend, because it doe s have a positive relation to student accomplishment ; yet i t should not be over-emphasized, because it is quite evidentl y secondary in importance as a factor in. scholastic success. . 12 OLD OREGON JANUARY, 1931 FACULTY FACES EDwAiw HIRAM MCALISTE R Since 1891 Professor McAlister has been a member of the faculty a t Oregon. In length of service to the University he ranks second . Dea n Straub, who came to Oregon in 1878, is the only member of the facult y who has served longer than Professor 1iieAlister. From 1902 to 1915 h e was dean of the College of Engineering, then part of the University a t Eugene, but transferred in 1915 to the state college. Since 1915 he ha s been professor of mechanics and astronomy and head of his department Professor McAlister is Oregon alumnus as well as Oregon professor . H e holds two degrees from the University of Oregon, the 13 .A. which he re- ceived in 1890, and the M .A. which was granted in 1893 . He is wel l known, therefore, to many Oregon alumni and students from the time of his undergraduate days to the present generation of students. His thre e children, Cecile, Katharine and Edward D., all attended the University of Oregon, and his son taught at Oregon for two years r is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, and is a certified member of the Ameri- can Association of Engineers . Recently Professor McAlister has bee n engaged in a timber research project whereby he has proved that timber used for fifty years is as strong as timber recently seasoned and stronger than green timber . His experiments and findings have attracted th e interest of the Douglas fir industry up and down the Pacific Coast an d have gained national recognition in papers and lumber journals F. G. G. ScImuD T Only two members of the Oregon faculty can boast a longer period o f service than F riedrieh George G. Schmidt who, at the end of the present academic year, will have thirty-four years of faithful and continuou s serviceto his credit . When he came to the University from Cornel l College in 1897 the faculty at Oregon consisted of seventeen member s including Charles Hiram Chapman, president, who also taught courses in Ethics and Philosophy. The total number of students including thos e enrolled in the preparatory department was two hundred and forty-nine. As professor of Modern Languages, Dr . Schmidt offered courses in ele- mentary and advanced German and French. With a rich background o f educational experience he came to Johns Hopkins in 1893 and receive d his Ph.D. degree three years later. Even at the time of his addition t o the University faculty, he had an imposing list of publications to hi s credit . Schmidt has been known to generations of alumni and stu- dents as a quiet, scholarly man with a keen personal interest in those wh have studied under him or formed his acquaintance through other chan- nels. His genial sense of humor is one of his well known characteristics . For the first time in thirty-four years, Dr . Schmidt is asking leave o f absence during the spring term of 1930-31 he will spend the spring and summer in Germany making contacts with uni- versity men and collecting material for the completion of his book o n Biographies of Contem 1 German Writers . JANUARY, 1931 OLD OREGON 13 OREGON SPORTS By DELBERT ADDISON, 2 ss 7OIINNY KITZMILLE R aJ wasn considered goo d enough by the all-star picker s to be an All-American . Mayb e it would he a little more accur- ate to say the all-star picker s hadn heard enough about Johnny to make them conside r his good enough," writes L . H . Gregory in the Oregonian . 1lul o leak out that this fellow Nita - miller could play football, an d play it with all the extra flour- ishes of an all-time star, an d whoever it was that picked th e All - Star Western team wa s smart enoug h to sign up Johnny. Let us con- gratulate the canny gentle- man or gentle - men who managed to ferret out the fact o f Kitzmiller existence, because the story o f how he went into the game for the losin g West in the second quarter and from the n on stole the show is now football history . One well-known name will fill in blan k space in an all-star list as well as another , but when games are won and lost it take s men who are better than their kind . Here on the Pacific Coast the gridiro n experts recognized Kitzmiller on practicall y all the mythical selections, but they couldn see any of the other Webfoots . Here agai n when it came to the test of games won an d lost, more Oregon men were chosen tha n from any other school . When this same All-Star Western team , on which Johnny became the star, wa s chosen, men were taken not only from th e Coast Conference but from all of the west - ern half of the United States, and from al l teams, conference or no . On that team w e find Colbert, Christensen and Kitzmiller , the Three Musketeers of Oregon who wil l soon be just names in football tradition . Only two other schools in the countr y contributed as many players as did Oregon . Bruder, Baker and Woodworth were calle d from Northwestern, and Macaluso, Har t and Doyle came from Colgate . it was Macaluso and Bruder who threat- ened the goal of the West-before Kite - miller went in against them . BASKETBAL L Bill Reinhart varsity basketball tea m has beaten Multnomah Club three times and , with the Gonzaga game past, will enter th e Conference race . Prospects look good enough to stimulat e a maximum amount of interest in the sea - son play, but competition is too strong t o justify any rosy championship hopes . I f the Webfoots get past Oregon State, Wash- ington and Washington State for a play - off with the southern champs it will be a s fine an achievement as any team could hop e for . The Webfoot squad of this year has a seven-letterman foundation to start with , and this mature strength will be needed i n every game . Oregon State and Washington CAPTAIN JOHNNY KITZMILLE R can boast as many or more veterans, an d dispatches from Washington State are eve n more optimistic than the others . There will be a greater quantity of hig h quality basketball games played in th e Northwest this winter than there has bee n for a number of years . A long era of great Oregon basketbal l teams ended in 1928 . It is highly prob- lematieal whether an y great players will ris e from the Webfoot rank s in 1931 to take thei r places along with Eddi e D a r n o, Hunk Latham , Roy Okerberg and Swede Westergren ; bu t two things are sure, nin e out of every ten game s be worth the time of an y played this winter wil l man to watch, and Ore - gon will not finish at th e bottom of the ladder . Jean Eberhart, Kermit Stevens, Henr y Levoff, inger Calkins, Bill Keenan, Vin - cent Dolp and Cliff Horner are the seve n lettermen. Eberhart and Horner are start- ing their last year . "Cap" Roberts is th e only member of last year freshmen wh o has been able to break into the varsit y lineup. Wally Blyle and "Red" Rogers ar e a couple of men who are making good i n their first attempts at the varsity . Washington, champion of 1930, will hav e the same team again with the exceptions o f "Stork" McClary and "Diggs" Jaloff, th e Mutt and Jeff pair . Oregon State will b e led by the veterans Ken Fagans, Mos e Lyman, Ed Merrill and Rod Ballard . Washington State has enough letterme n for a team or more, but three sophomore s have forced themselves into the first ranks . Huntley Gordon, a six and a half foo t center, and Bobby Cross and Kenneth Will s are the Cougar sophomore aces . Claud e Holst.en, Bob Van Tuyl and Art McLarne y are the veterans who can hardly be dis- placed. Idaho is poorer in seasoned material , with only one second year man, and i s depending on sophomores . Parks, Wicks , Barrett and Lacy are the newcomers to th e Vandal team . Even so, Rich Fox can no doubt be depended on to present a stron g team. Jack Friel, Washington State coach , promises something new in offensive tactics . The new system has been described as on e which "capitalizes on long-shot opportuni- ties and much individual floor-work ." W e don know just how much of an innovatio n this will be, but there must be somethin g to it . The last really new system intro- duced to the Northwest was quite som e time ago, when Bob Hager brought th e "percentage" system to Oregon State . Unless the lineups used in practice game s are changed when the season opens all th e teams but Washington will have a sopho- more center, and all of these centers wil l have moved a veteran into another positio n or the second string . "Cap" Roberts ha s taken center for Oregon with Eberhar t playing a forward position . Varsity games in Eugene include Wash- ington Stale, January 1 .6, 17; Washington , January 23, 24 ; Idaho, February 16, 17 ; Oregon State, February 21, 28 . Off campus games include Washington a t Seattle, January 9, 10 ; Oregon State a t Corvallis, January 31, February 27 ; Idaho at Moscow, February 6, 7 ; Washingto n State at Pullman, February 9, 10 ; Gon- zagui at Spokane, February 11 .
