Duiing the Easter vacation Prof. J. F. Bovard will leave Eugene for a week’s trip through Eastern Oregon, where he will deliver a series of lec tures at seven different high schools on the “Value of Song Birds.” The schools he intends to visit are Pen dleton, Huntington, Baker City, Union, La Grande, Enterprise, and Joseph. This trip is under the aus pices of the Oregon Fish and Game Commission, which will pay his expenses. Master Game Warden Fin ley, of Portland, has outlined an edu cational plan whereby he seeks to in terest the people of the state in song and game birds. Prof. Bovard will lecture mainly to the children this trip. “Mjr idea,” he said, “is to arouse their interest in the song birds,—by doing this they may help in a great many ways. It will mean less destruction of nests and eggs. If a child can be educated to see the value of birds, he will leave them alone and become able to appreciate them.” Some time later in the year, Prof. Bovard intends to make another visit over the same route wdth another series of lectures on “Game Birds of Oregon.” All of his talks are illustrated with lantern slides which he has prepared. This winter Prof. Bovard made num erous short week-end trips through the Willamette Valley to interest the people in the birds of the state and their commercial value to the com monwealth.

DECIMAL GRADES GIVEN IN CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE Grades ranging from 79.2 to 14.52 were meted out by Professor H. C. Howe to his Contemporary Literature class of (>7 members Thursday morn ing, as the average standing for the book, “Peer Gynt,” just finished. Young ladies of the class stood both at the top and bottom of the list. The five grades above 75 went to them, and also the lowest, 14.5, went to a young lady. However, Professor Howe cheered some of them up by saying that the department was grading a great deal stricter than last year, and that an addition of ten or fifteen points would show the grade they would have re ceived last year. Decimal grading has been a fea ture of the department’s system this year, and nearly every grade given out has attached the decimal, ranging from one to nine tenths. RUMOR SAYS “PAT” McARTHUR MAY RUN FOR CONGRESS It is rumored about Portland that Clifton N. McArthur, ’01, now a prominent Portland lawyer, will run against Representative Lafferty at the next Congressional election for Representative from Oregon. Mr. McArthur has been prominent in poli tics since he left the University, being elected to the House in the State Legislature in 1910, and Secretary to Governor Benson in 1911. He was speaker of the House in the Legisla ture just adjourned. He has also been boosted for Governor to succeed Gov ernor Oswald West. “Pat” McArthur, as he was known while here, was prominent in student activities at the University, and there are still many references to the good old days “of Pat McArthur,” when he was leader among the students.
