BLEW IN!

Thankfulness that the "cap and gown" question was settled s o peaceably with the decision being against the wearing of the apparel.
Perhaps, when we become a four
year institution, this annual qufcs- VOLUME XVI tion will be disposed of, and the
traditional garments may be adopt
ed. Until then, however, perhaps it is best to let "sleeping dogs lie."

OREGON NORMAL SCHOOL, MONMOUTH, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 1939 NUMBER IT
A BOOST for Art Meyer who is trying to arrange a program for All-Parents' week end, and a hope that if any of our talented enter
tainers in the Senior class are keep
ing their talents hidden, that they will contact Mr. Meyer and aid him
—and, incidentally the entire school
—in providing a very entertaining program.

Observation that this is to be a very busy quarter. First, we have the educational conference week end, the Junior spring formal, All- Parents' week end, and finally grad
uation—not to mention the sopho
more tests that the seniors will have to struggle through in the very near future. To put across all these events successfully, every stu
dent will have to do his part. "Many hands, etc" — and, after all, some
times those dependable ones who usually do all the work in putting something across do become a bit weary and appreciate any coopera tion given them.

For Conference
Sophomore Tests
Start Wednesday
The annual Educational confer
ence at the Oregon College of Ed
ucation will be held at Monmouth Saturday, April 29. These confer
ences have become so well establish
ed that teachers and school admin
istrators look forward to them with great interest. They attract school people from the entire western and central sections of Oregon.
The general theme for this year's conference is "Education for Democ
racy." Dr. John C. Almack of Stan
ford University, Miss Helen Heffer- non of the State Department of Edu
cation of Sacramento, California, Governor Charles A. Sprague, Chan
cellor F. M. Hunter, and many oth
er educational leaders and artists will participate in the conference program.
Of particular interest is the forum organized for discussion of the gen
eral theme. Several speakers will present different viewpoints after which questions and discussions will follow. Dr. J. F. Cramer, superin
tendent of the Eugene schools, will preside at the forum.
The health section will include a film showing some features of the campaign against social diseases;
dents who have purchased ASB the art section will have an exhibit tickets for the privilege of using the
tennis courts, and they shouldn't be forced to sit on the sidelines while other people are using them—
or was that talk of strict enforce
ment of the ASB ticket rule for every event and use of athletic equipment—merely talk?

Questions as to why more stu
dents don't take advantage of the Sunday afternoon play periods in the physical education building?
Not so long ago many students were heard wishing that it would be pos
sible to get in the gymnasium on Sundays. Now the opportunity is provided, but where are the stu
dents who were wishing for said opportunity Maybe it's the things that we don't have or can't get that always appeal to us. (Maybe this does sound like a sermon, but, after all, it is written on Sunday.)

Hope that since it seems inevit
able that we have movies for the Monday morning assembly program, that a series of athletic pictures showing different athletic events can be procured. It seems that a i
series of pictures on baseball, ten
nis, swimming, golf or any other sport would meet with the approval of the majority of the students. A series of this kind would be enter
taining and educational to some of our aspiring young athletes.

"The entrance tests give each student an opportunity to discover the amounts of his strengths and weaknesses over a wide area of school experiences, and the college achievement tests enables each stu
dent to see what gains or losses have been made in approximately the same areas.
"The tests have a decided value in educational guidance for the stu dent who will use them. The insti tution derives much value in eval
uating standards in the various fields with other colleges of educa
tion, with liberal arts colleges, and with junior colleges.
"Our results have been particu larly good in the past and with the new four year curriculum coming into operation we should have even better results," stated Dr. V V Caldwell, head of the psychology department of the Oregon College of Education, when interviewed concerning the value of the Sopho
more tests that the graduating seniors are required to take each year before examination.
The tests are to begin the even

Seniors Vote
Against Gowns
Wednesday, April 5, the Seniors held a second meeting to decide definitely on the cap and gown question. The discussion covered the
| same points as that at the meeting on March 29, but there was more of it. Those who favored caps and gowns pointed out that they would be less expensive, and those who opposed them declared that they .would be more expensive; and so the argument continued until both
j sides had nearly reached the boil-
| ing point.
| Bernard Grafton cooled the dis cussion down somewhat by showing how foolish it was even to have brought up the question at all, since this institution does not grant de
grees, and James Ellingsworth call
ed for the vote that decided the question. The members voted by secret ballot, and the final count was 47 opposed to caps and gowns and 25 in favor of them.
A standing vote was taken among the senior women on the type of to the com- which will be
Parent Week-End
Plans Complete
The psychology department of the Oregon College of Education will play host to the Oregon Psycholog
ical Association at a meeting and banquet held on the local campus, Saturday, April 15.
The scheduled program includes:
registration from 9 to 10 a.m. on Saturday; from 10 to 11 a.m. indi
vidual research reports will be giv
en, to be followed by an intermis
sion until 1:30 p.m. when the reports on individual research will continue until 2:15 p.m. From 2:15 to 3:30 p.m. there will be a round table discussion under the direction of Montgomery Griffin, professor of psychology of Reed college of Port
land. The discussion will be on cur
rent text books and instruction in the introduction of psychology.
Form 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. films will be shown of other psychological laboratories outside the state and will include pictures from Harvard university and the University of Minnesota. The pictures will deal with the subject of neurotic rats and conditioned dogs.
A banquet at Jessica Todd hall at 6:00 p.m. will bring the day's ac
tivities to a close. Dr. E. R. Guthrie, professor of psychology at the Uni
versity of Washington, will be the main speaker. Dr. Guthrie is one of the two most noted psychologists on the Pacific coast, and was selected for his discussion on Pavlov's par
ticular theory of learning.
Students are welcome and urged to come to all discussions and are invited to attend the banquet. Stu
dents must register from 9 to 10 a.
(Continued on Page Four)
The big event for the near future is All-Parents' week end which is planned for May 13 and 14. Joan Gibson is general chairman of the affair.
The tentative program includes a variety of interesting events for the parents. Saturday, May 13, from 9 to 12 a.m. will be taken up with registration. The afternoon is divid
ed into a general meeting of the parents in Campbell hall for the welcoming address from 1 to 2 p.m.;
a physical education program at 2:45 and a baseball game at 3:30. All school buildings will be open for in
spection during the day. Saturday evening a banquet, program and dance will be given. Charles Meyer is in charge of the program, and the Junior class is sponsoring the dance.
Sunday morning the parents will attend a breakfast, after which they will be entertained with a musical program by the chorus and choir.

Heretofore, the awards have been | combined with the baccalaureate given out and everyone has been j service this year. It was decided to left in the dark as to who were the

CRIMSON O NEWS
A regular meeting of Crimson O Players will be held on Thursday, April 13, at 7:00 p.m. in the old gymnasium. At this time the new members will be initiated.
In the last issue of the Lamron, the production staff for "Midnight Sailing" was omitted. They are:
Dorothy Hufford, director; Jerome H a n l o n , s t a g e m a n a g e r ; A n i t a Davidson, property manager; and Helen Vershum, costumes.
Last week the members of the Junior Class announced their in
tention of giving a costume ball in place of the usual spring formal.
Since then Ed Miller, chairman of the dance, has received numerous requests and complaints for a spring formal. At a general meeting of the dance committee last Tuesday it was decided to change the plans and give a formal in accordance with the wishes of the most of the students.
Extensive plans have been made for decorations in a Spanish fiesta spirit. Programs for the dance are going to add to the Spanish atmos
phere and the occasion promises to be a gala affair. Jack. Berry's or
chestra will swing the tunes with perhaps a rhumba or two thrown in for good measure. Anyone wishing guest cards for off-the-campus friends should obtain them before April 18 if possible.
Photographers will be at the dance taking pictures of the gay scene for the new OCE catalogue, which is to be printed in the near future.
The Junior Class is hoping that a large number of Senors and Senoritas will come to the dance and enjoy this little bit of Spain.

Hello again folks. After reading of all the goldfish eating contests we're glad to look on our quiet and peaceful campus. We've noticed:
From the looks of the letterman sweaters being worn around here that our athletes have gone rather feminine on us. What's the matter, boys? Is it the weather or their line?
That B. Kanne and G. Gemmell had a good time last Saturday ev
ening. Too bad the local girls weren't there — you'll have to use more persuasion next time, boys!
Speaking of track — A. Dickson and J. Wienert are running a close race.
And then there is J. Boon who isn't Cook-ing anymore, but has gone for a certain Astorian!
I guess D. Dietrick is settling down to his Billing and cooing—.
Kolias seems to be in the lime
light now. Doesn't he Esther?
We also notice Slug has been serenading Casanova again. Of course, we thought one fall a term was enough and the average. Aren't you overdoing it a little, Millie? Is she one of your World's Fair ad
mirers, Chuck?
We've heard that E. Miller gets a bang out of life. What's this all about, Ed
It is true, or were our eyes deceiv
ing us, when we've been seeing P.
Wherley Granting on the campus?
How about it, Elizabeth?
We noticed Miller, Szedlak, Jesse and Hogan going to class. It's un- believeable! And to think it's spring term — my, my, what are the ath
letes coming to?
The latest transportation around the campus is by skates. Just ask D.
Smith and S. Schmidt, about get
ting any place! !
Flash! Have you heard the latest?
B. Muckler and B. Adams are going to church together next Sunday.
Have you heard about the bus w r e c k S u n d a y n i g h t ? J u s t a s k Muckler, Rose and Purvis to give you a description of everything.
From the size of the pig, you would think they hit an elephant.
Goodbye now, until you hear from us again next week J
Fashions
Pink and blue is an outstanding color combination, an example of which was blonde Dorothy Smith's pink sweater and pastel blue skirt pleated all around. Another blonde using the same combination was Margaret Lindahl, and that sweater of hers is the most delectable shade imaginable. A brunette reverses the procedure and wears a blue sweater with a grayed-pink skirt. She also wears a deep rose monk dress with huraches.
Tweed jackets with pastel skirts are good news. The skirts are in pale tints of blue and green as well as lavendar and pink.
We had just a glimpse of Virginia Craven in a sea green dress. The top was interestingly trimmed with white, and the pleats in the skirt were lined with white.
We see more and more huraches, and a few spectator pumps like those shown in the Vogue fashion show last week. And, speaking of that fashion show, you who weren't there missed something. There were all types of sports, street and for
mal clothes for all types of figures.
Navy blue and black were the basic colors for some of the smartest street outfits. The formal dresses were in a wide range of colors—one was a dusty blue made in a grecian style that was very lovely. Everyone who was there enjoyed it a great deal.

FAIR COSTS $155,000,000
New York—Latest estimates reveal the total cost of the New York world's fair of 1939 at more than
$155,000,000. Of this outlay $50,000,- 000 is being borne by the World's
Fair Trip for
Essay Winner
With the cooperation of outstand
ing leaders in our national life, New York City alumnae groups of 23 national women's fraternities have just announced an essay contest de
voted to a consideration of Amer
ica's so-called "four freedoms," in 846 colleges and universities of the country, according to information received from Miss Sophie P. Wood
man, chairman of the Fraternity Women's Committee for the New York's World's Fair.
Information on the essay contest- may be obtained from the office of this paper or from the committee's headquarters at the Hotel Beekman Tower, 3 Mitchell Place, New York headquarters of the National Pan- hellenic Fraternities.
Presidents of the universities and colleges ,and heads and members of English departments have receiv
ed announcemests of the essay con
test. The contest, however, is open to students in any department who wish to participate, and, Miss Wood
man pointed out, it is not confined to fraternity members. Also, she added, it is open both to men and women.
A trip to the World's Fair, with a one week's all-expense stay at the committee headquarters, the Hotel Beekman Tower, New York, is the first prize in the contest. Second and third prizes are cash awards of
$2 5and $15 respectively, and an all- expense stay of one week at the Beekman Tower, not including rail
road transportation. In the areas adjacent to New York, $100 first prize will be given in lieu of the round trip transportation to the fair. Winners will be given special recognition at "Panhellenic Day" at the New York fair.
In an effort to focus attention on some of the basic principles of our democracy, the New York Fraterni
ty committee is devoting its current annual essay contest to a consider
ation of the so-called "four free
doms" contained in the First Ar
ticle of the Bill of Rights—freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of worship and freedom of peaceable assembly, as its official activity in conjunction with the Women's Advisory committee for the fair.
The Farternity Women's com
mittee, Miss Woodman pointed out, has chosen the theme of the so-call
ed "four freedoms" in the belief that in these days of world unrest, it is both salutary and of interest to American students to review again some of these principles on which our government is founded.
Students entering the contest will select as topics one of the questions submitted by nationally-known men and women on these "four freedoms."
Governmental leaders who have supplied topics for the contest are:
General John J. Pershing; Sumner Welles, under-seeretary of state;
and Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, of New York City.
Outstanding educators, contribut
ing questions, are: Dr. James Row
land Angell, former president of Yale university and educational counselor of the National Broad
casting company; Dr. Virginia C.
Gildersleeve, dean of Barnard col
lege; Dr. Hans Kohn, professor of history at Smith college; Dr. String- fellow Barr, president of St. John's college, Annapolis; and Herbert
Fair Corporation. The remainder is divided by United States govern
ment, $3,500,000; New York state,
$0,500,000; New York city, $20,000,- 000; states and territories, $5,000,000 foreign governments, $25,000,000; ex
hibitors, $35,00,000; and concession
aires, $10,000,000.
Wright, head of the department of politics at Catholic University of America.
Well known journalists, who are also participating, are: Hans Kalt- enborn, news commentator, Colum
bia Broadcasting system; Arthur Krock, political writer of the New York Times; and Dorothy Thomp
son, columnist of the New York Herald-Tribune.
Mrs. Vincent Astor, as chairman of the advisory committee for Wo
men's Participation in the World's Fair, has submitted the following question: "How are the freedoms of speech, press, worship and assembly, which are safeguarded by the First Article of the Bill of Rights, em
phasized in the New York World's Fair of 1939?"
William Church Osborn, noted attorney who is chairman of the Temple of Religion of the New York world's fair, also submitted a ques
tion as follows: "What is the value of Freedom of Religion in the gov
ernmental conception of the United States? (That is: develop the re
lationship of the religion of a people to its own life concept of human re
lations under a government.)"
Mrs. A. Barton Hepburn, president of the Panhellenic House association and of the City History Club of New York, submitted the following ques
tion: "In view of our present chang
ing population, how far-seeing were the originators of the Bill of Rights in inserting the word "peaceable"
in providing that Congress shall make no law respecting the right of the people peaceably to assem
ble?"
Comprising the Fraternity Wo
men's Committee for the New York World's Fair are: The Board of Governors of the New York City Panhellenic, Inc., the Board of Di
rectors of the Panhellenic House association, and the New York alumnae groups of the 23 National Panhellenic Fraternities.

Drop Twin
Bill to State
The Wolves lost a twin bill to Oregon State college Saturday, when the Beavers copped the nine-inning first game 13 to 0, and the six-in
ning night-cap 16 to 4. Earl Mc- Kinney, Beaver hurler, allowed the Wolves only five hits in the opener, and he kept these so scattered that the Teachers were unable to score.
Two of those hits went to Carl Szed- lak and this gave him such a repu
tation that Takami, who pitched the second game for the Staters, gave Carl four free bases in the four times he came to the plate. Takami, incidently, held the Wolves to six hits in the six innings pitched.
Ben Branden hit twice in the second contest and scored two of the four scores the Wolves made.
Lane and Szedlak made the other scores, both of them, with one of Branden's in the third inning.
The games were never close. Every one of the Beaver hitters got through to the best Miller, Cereghi- no and Wienert could offer. For the most part both teams played good ball in the first game, but a bitter wind sprung up in the late after
noon and, apparently, both squads found it hard to wrap their cold fingers around that illusive ball.
Ken Horner did some good work in the outfield and there were several other good plays.

Duck Rally
Tops Wolves
A two-run rally in the ninth in
ning gave the University of Oregon Ducks a 10 to 8 victory over the Wolves in a closely contested game last Friday afternoon. Ellingsworth's single led a first inning onslaught that ended only after 12 men had faced the university pitcher and seven runs had crossed the plate. It was the only bad inning Linn, Ore
gon hurler, had during the entire game as he held the Wolves to four hits and a single run during the re
mainder of the game.
Oregon scored twice in the first inning, once in the second, four times in the third to tie things up.
They took a one run lead in the fourth that the Wolves were un
able to balance until the seventh.
The visitors made a big inning out of the third when Nicholson rapped out a circuit clout after Mullen, safe on Tuthill's error, went to third on G. Smith's double and Quinn drew a free trip to first to fill the bases.
The ninth inning rally saw doubles by G. Smith, Quinn and Mallory to force in two runs.
Treadway Charles started for the Wolves but went to the showers in the third to make way for Farthing, who pitched great ball from then on to the ninth.

Stamina and
Chemistry
Oregon State college — Close on the heels of announcement that an eastern scientist has increased physical endurance by use of gela
tine drinks, E. C. Callaway, bio
chemist at OSC, has revealed that for more than five years he has been conducting experiments with Ore
gon State athletic teams that indi
cate a striking relationship between physical endurance and alkaline re
serve in body tissues.
Tomato and orange juices supple
mented with certain chemical alka
lies have been Professor Callaway's method, used in cooperation with team physicians, of keeping men in shape to "do for dear old Alma Mater" without dying of fatigue.
Properly applied, Callaway finds that this system will clip several seconds from the time of distance runners and swimmers, and will de
lay serious fatigue in basketball, football and rowing by 10 to 20 per cent.
Professor Callaway and those with whom he has worked say the pro
cess is still in the experimental stage, and they caution against the
"shot-gun" use of excess alkali with
out regard to other nutritional fac
tors. As pointed out recently in the Journal of the American Medical association, damage to the body may result from the use of too much alkali or alkaline salts in unbalanc
ed proportions.
The present research had its origin in 1933 when Dr. R. L. Bos- worth, team physician at that time, kept the men of the famous "iron- man" football team full of tomato juice as one means of keeping up their endurance. This was the team that first stopped the winning streak of the USC Trojans.
Since then Professor Callaway, working in his spare time with phy
sicians, trainers and coaches, has run biochemical tests on athletes before and after athletic contests, and correlated their performance with degree of alkaline reserve.
"Other things being equal, an athlete's ability to stay in a severe
ly contested game and perform at top efficiency is roughly proportion
al to what might be termed his op

W A A F L A S H E S Return Game
With Ducks
By Sue Richardson
Volleyball try outs for class teams are being held, and the prospects for some very capable teams are in evi
dence.
Martha Blair's and Arlene Bu- bolz's tennis match moved some of the boys to remark: "It wouldn't take either of them long to clean me." Congratulations, girls!
Guess what!! We've just discover
ed that Billie Muckler is athletic at heart. She plays golf very well, we are told.
Betty McCracken and Waneta Cook couldn't find any horses after they went to all the trouble of get
ting all dressed up so nicely. Shucks!
La Danza, we are told, does not plan to add any new members this term. Don't worry, all you graceful girls, there will be another chance for you.
Speaking of La Danza, the more we see of the girls in their leotards, the more we wonder that they don't adopt them as regular campus cos
tumes!
The archery classes reveal that there are several would-be feminine Robin Hoods among us. Keep it up;
you're bound to improve.
Sweaters for
Tennis Awards
In the discussion at the student council meeting on April 3, John Haworth proposed a plan whereby the tennis players might receive sweater awards this year. Council approved the awarding of sweaters to tennis players who have at least 10 scheduled matches and play 50 per cent of them, winning 40 per cent of the scheduled games. The sweaters will be of the same value as the service award sweaters. The color will be navy blue, and the let
ters will be smaller than the Varsity O letters.
A return game with the Universi
ty of Oregon is scheduled for next Thursday, according to an an
nouncement made by Coach A1 Cox.
After being crowded out in the ninth last Friday, the Wolves are thirsting for revenge. The game promises to be good.
Oregon has played two other teams usually on the OCE schedule:
Pacific and Portland U. With the former the Ducks split a double- header. They defeated the Pilots 12 to 2. Creighton, Duck hurler, held the Pacific U. team to three hits in the first game, and allowed only one run to cross the plate.
Since the dope bucket isn't up
set yet, its a long shot in the dark to try to pick the team that A1 Cox will send out to do battle. However, here is a guess: Ralph Mohler looks like a good bet to start the hurl
ing, with another veteran, Lloyd Lewis on the receiving end. If the spike holes that an Oregon base- runner ground into Riney's hand
are all healed up, he may be back on first base. If the old mit is a little sore yet, and maybe if it isn't, it will be Aubin. Treadway Charles seems to have a lease on second base as firmly as "Skeets" O'Connell has on third. But Tuthill will prob
ably get the bid for shortstop, al
though Lane is showing up well and may get a try. In the outfield, it will probably be Ellingsworth, Horner and Szedlak. Horner hasn't been hitting quite up to standard, but his superb job of fielding makes him hard ta replace. Branden's hitting record and consistent fielding make him a dangerous contender for either infield or outfield positions.

Mask Dance
Honors Juniors
The entire Junior class will be the guests of the Seniors at a masquer
ade dance to be given on April 15.
This dance is given in their honor as a result of winning the Norm sales contest.
Everyone attending this dance must wear a mask of some kind be
fore he can gain admittance. Cos
tumes will not be needed, however, but those wishing to come attired in them are indeed welcome. An orchestra will furnish the music for the dancing.
The committee appointed for the dance consists of Frances Farley, Bessie Christensen, Harvey Williams and Sterling Jensen.
The tennis matches, which are being played every day now, are giving the girls a chance to prove their ability on the courts. Such excellent players as Martha Blair, Arlene Bubolz and Elsie Houghtal- ing really give the customers a thrill, it won't be long now until the first woman's tennis champion of the Oregon College of Education will be determined.

Sees War
Within Year
Declaring that a second world war within the year was almost a cer
tainty, Dr. E. F. Barrows climaxed an International Relations club forum last Wednesday evening with the prediction that the next move of the Rome-Berlin Axis would be through Albania and Yugoslavia.
The next morning Italy moved into Albania, In the opening speech of the session, Dr. J. F. Santee remind
ed the auiednce of the not-too-in- nocent history of our own nation, pointing out that all great nations, at some time in their careers, find it expedient to bring neighboring ter
ritory under its sphere of influence.
Dr. J. Norman Carls, the second
speaker in the symposium, showed how strong nationalistic feeling had built on the growing tendency to
ward collectivism. H e described Nazism and Communism as merely different interpretations of the same social trend.
An announcement made public by the president of the International Realtions club is to the effect that Japan will be the next topic for study by the club.

Special note should be given to
! the first appearance of the new black and white vestments of the choir, and the new crimson and grey vestments of the chorus.
Some of the numbers included in the evening's program were: In Joseph's Lovely Garden, traditional Spanish, arranged by Dickinson;
Beautiful Dreamer, Foster; A Vio
lin Is Singing in the Street, Ukran- ian folk song, arranged by Hoshetz;
Lovely Night, O Tenter Night, Of

Spring Dance
Unique and clever are scarcely sufficient to describe the spring dance given Friday evening, March 31, by Amegus (friendship) house, commonly known as Mathany's.
.The decorations with the name
"Amegus" being formed of yellow daffodils on a background of green ery, were planned and worked out by Ainta Davidson and Ada Collar, The rest of the ball carried out the idea of the spring theme. Adding humorous touch was the novel idea of exchanging articles of clothing or ornaments with one's partner the evening. Herbert Vent with his red corduroy jacket and A. Dickson with his pink one looked quite dash
ing.
