I
TRANSFORMER ADDS TO
PHYSICS APPARATUS
Experiments in Frequency Testing
and Wireless Sending Now
Possible.
During the last week Professor W, !
P. Boynton, of the Physics depart
ment, has installed a 10,000 volt trans
former of % kilowatt capacity, which
he intends to use for experimenting
in high frequency testing and which
he may use in connection with a wire
less outfit.
At present he is making a series of
isulators out of large window glass
es, 16x12 inches. As soon as these are
finished, any one of his students may
erect an aerial, thereby completely
fininshing a wireless outfit which may
be used in sending messages.
From his previous experiments with
this transformer, the professor now
states that the spark gap resistance is
no more than one ohm.
With the installing of this machine
there are now three currents from the
general switch board in the electrical
laboratory in the basement of Deady
Hall. These are accessible from all
parts of the laboratory and class
room so that now the current may be
utilized at any point. This increases
greatly the number of experiments
that may be carried on before his
classes.
TO SEPARATE SODIUM
Harlan Pefley, ’15, Constructs Appar
atus for Separation of Chemicals
by Electrodes.
Harlan Pefley, ’15, has undertaken
the construction of a full set of ap
paratus for the separation of metallic
sodium from its chloride (common
salt) by the electrilytic process. He
is working in collaboration with and
under the direction of Professor 0. F.
Stafford, head of the department of
chemistry.
The apparatus consists of a glass
lined tank containing a strong solu
tion of sodium chloride, into which
are inserted carbon electrodes, upon
which the metal collects. The ves
sal is tightly covered, with drain
pipes for the chlorine gas which is
given off. As both the constituents of
the salt are highly dangerous—chlor
ine being poisonous and sodium hav
ing strong caustic properties—string
ent precautions are necessary for the
operation of the apparatus.
The experiment has never been at
tempted before in the local labora
• tories. A successful result is antici
pated, although great care will be
' necessary both in the construction
and operation of the apparatus.
Harlan Pefley is registered in Elec
trical Engineering, and is making
extra research work in the field of
electro-chemistry.
‘ DEAN SANDERSON WILL
SPEAK AT Y. M. C. A. MEETING
Dean E. C. Sanderson, of the Eu
gene Bible University, will speak be
‘ fore the regular Y. M. C. A. meeting
Thursday evening, on the subject,
“The Victory and Supremacy of the
Bible.”
Besides this address two musical
features have been arranged. A piano
solo by Lloyd Casebeer, ’15, will open
' the meeting at 7 o’clock sharp. A
vocal duet by Miss Imogene McKown
and John Black, the new president of
the association will close the meeting.
Dean Sanderson is known as an ex
•' ceptionally strong speaker, and a
strong organizer, the growth of the
local Bible University being largely
attributed to him.
> A Freshman at the University of
Idaho, while lecturing on slides of
pictures taken during the recent class
fight, won by the Freshmen, aroused
the Sophomores to action. It resulted
in a bath in the nearest creek. The
advertisement at the theatre, there
after read, “A lecture by a mud
duck,” instead of “A lecture by one of
the victors.” ,
Graham J. Michael, ’12, has been
appointed Professor of Geology at
y Williams College. Mr, Michael has
been doing post-praduate work at Co
lumbia University since his gradua
tion at Oregon last year.
PLANS BEING MADE TO
STAR! WOMAN’S LEAGUE
Miss Guppy and Mrs. Parsons Heart
ily in Favor of Scheme to Organ
ize Women.
“I am very enthusiastic,” said Miss
Ruth Guppy yesterday, “about the
plans drawn up for a Woman’s League
at the University. Such an organiza
tion, enlisting all the young women,
will lead to better fellowship on their
part and will add a new phase to the
social life of the institution.”
According to the plans now made,
the membership roll will be open to
all girls wishing to join. The
scheme as worked out in many East
ern colleges has been a great success.
One started at the University of
Washington a few years ago by Miss
Austin, Dean of Women, now in
cludes several hundred young women.
Mrs. M. H. Parsons was a student at
the University of Michigan and was
instrumental in founding the first
League there.
In speaking of it, she said, “Mich
igan owes much to the Women’s
League. It was due to their efforts
that the money was raised for Bar
bour Gymnasium, the women’s build
ing. Also they furnished the funds
for the women’s outdoor athletic field,
—a stadium in a natural amphitheatre
where, in the Spring, a great many
contests are held.”
The method as worked out at Mich
igan and which v/ill be used here, is
that of dividing the league into cir
cles of ten members for entertainment
purposes. Committees are subordin
ate branches of the organization.
Some attend to events like the April
Frolic, the Y. W. C. A., gymnasium
exhibitions, and all are under the
supervision of an executive board.
“There are many girls,” said Miss
Guppy, “who miss a great deal of the
social side of college life, but with
such a league they would be brought
into contact with other students,
which would result in mutual benefits
for all concerned. Also the girls
then could work toward a Woman’s
Building. Should such a building be
secured here, the women graduates of
the University would be eligible to
membership in the Association of Col
legiate Alumnae, a branch of which
has just been installed in Eugene dur
ing the last month.”
STUDENTS SAVE MONET
Members of Irrigation Class Copy
Book Instead of Buying It
at $2.25.
The purchase of a text-book at
three dollars and a half per, at the be
ginning of the semester, was consid
ered a reasonable requirement by
members of the class in Irrigation.
But when they were later asked to buy
supplementary notes which would cost
them two dollars and twenty-five each,
they considered it more seriously, and
finally decided they could more cheap
ly copy the notes themselves.
After borrowing a full copy of the
notes—one hundred pages of type
written instructions, data, and plans
—they set to work with pen and type
writer to accomplish the task. They
are now working at spare moments,
intermittently pounding the keys of a
typewriter by the “Stop! Look! and
Listen!” system, and copying and
drawing plans from the original text
of notes. Their time they value at
fifty-two cents an hour; fifty cents for
the time they are not sepnding at the
club, and two cents for their progress
With the reproduction of the notes.
Those in the class are Allyn Rob
erts, Abe Blackman, James Ryder
Edgar Martin, and Otto S'toehr.
Beloit University is deteriorating ir
scholarship, according to the reports oi
Professor H. D. Densmore, registrai
of the college. Out of 356 students
| enrolled, 131 are deficient in theii
! studies. Fifty per cent of these wen
of the upper classes. Twenty-foui
were dismissed from college.
Washington is taking steps to limi
the expensive program followed b]
the student body. Several mino
sports, which have been only a sourci
of expense, are scheduled to b
dropped.
The home economics department of
the University of Wisconsin recently
demonstrated that meals can be
served at a cost of $2.50 per week.
According: to the menu selected by
this department, many appetizing:
dishes could be included.
The Eastern track championship is
doped to lie bewteen the University of
Pennsylvania and Harvard.
Pennsylvania wrestlers recently
succeeded in defeating Columbia’s
team by a score of 5 to 2.
Cornell won the special two-mile
relay rate from Pennsylvania in the
indoor southern championships held
under the auspices of the Missouri
Athletic Club at St. Louis a few days
ago. The two mile event was covered
by Coach Moakley’s men in 8 minutes
10 2-5 seconds.
