ARE SELECTED SENIORS UNDER HOWE AND YOUNG BEGIN WORK AT ONCE PRACTICAL TOPICS CHOSEN Women to Write Upon Literary Subjects While Men in Eco nomics Will Study Topics Af fecting State Interests. The Senior Theses, which have for the most part been decided upon by the students under Professor Howe and Professor Young, embody a num ber of interesting and practical sub jects. Of Professor Howe's class, eleven have selected their thesis research work. “There will be an effort,” said Professor Howe, “to make each thesis the practical application of the students’ minor and major sub jects.” Edith Clements is writing on “The High School Course of Lit erature;” Maud Mastick and Olga Poulson, “Social Ideals of Living and Recent Writers;” Agnes Elliot, Ele anor McClain and Marguerite Ran kin, “Ideals of Womanhood;” Ellice Shearer, “The Relation of Shaw to His Predecessors;” Norma Dobie. “The Relation of Arnold Bennett to the History of the English Novel;” Henry Fowler, “Journalism and the English Novel,” and William Cass, “Satire, Past and Present.” Last week Professor Young’s class of thirteen were notified of an en tirely new plan for the research the sis work for this year. Outlined, they include six different fields of en deavor, embracing in their scope top ics which are intensely practical, not only along financial lines, but also on social and political reform. Num ber one is the making of charts for use in the Panama-Pacific exposi tion in 1915, showing the condition of the state in the matters of crim inology, illiteracy, school funds, use of direct primaries, etc. Number two will be the preparation of sched ules that will guide the state author ities in 1915 when the state census is taken. Number three is a plan for the elaboration of the Oregon Blue Book, tl>% official state directory published yearly by the secretary of state. Number four is a plan where by the will of the people can be ex pressed to a better advantage in the primaries through a greater dissem ination of facts. Number five is the determination of the principles of electric rate making. This is espe ! eially appropriate in view of the state’s proposal to build a monster power plant at Celilo Falls. Number six is a program jjor further pro gress of Oregon social legislation with special attention to pensions and minimum wage for both women and men.

VARSITY BAND TO BE REORGANIZED THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE PLANS BIG AID TO ROOTERS A DIRECTOR 1$ ENGAGED McCosh of Eugene Band Will Be Leader of Organization Which Will Give Benefit Dances During Year. A feature of the executive council meeting last night was the interest displayed in the matter of reviving the rooters’ 'band of 1912-13 and es tablishing it as a permanent student activity. In regard to this, student body president, Vernon Motschen bacher says: “This is a feature of our activity that has always been lacking. I ! think that if we arouse enough in terest in the proposition the faculty will take steps to put a man in charge next year. The band will be sent to Albany and Portland for the O. A. C. and Washington games as an adjunct to the Oregon rooting forces.” Dudley H. McCosh, leader of the Oregon State band in Eugene, will lead the revived organization. He is engaged for three months and the council hopes by that time to arouse 1 sufficient student interest to con tinue the band for the balance of the year. It is expected that the band will be largely self-supporting, paying its expenses by means of benefit dances and concerts. The proceeds from a game between the fresh and the E. H. S. team will also go for this pur pose. Evening concerts in Villard Hall may later be given to feature vocal and instrumental soloists in the University. As final business of the meeting Bob McCornack was selected to fill the place on the student affairs com mittee, left vacant by Chester Hug gins, who was elected last spring but failed to return to college this fall. Plans were also perfected for the special student assembly Wednesday. CW. CRUMP Dealer in Staple and Fancy GROCERIES Phone 18 44 9th Ave. E.
