BUI COURSE n Three-Hour Course Deals With Impor tant Civic Life Problem in Biology A new course in Civic Biology is being conducted by Dr. Hodge on Mondays and Wednesdays at 1:00 o’clock, in the basement of Deady Hall. The idea in this course is to cover important problems in Biology that relate to civic life. There are 70 in the class. In speaking of the work required, Dr. Hodge says: “This subject takes only two periods a week in class work and an hour of research. There.is ad ditional reading in the library. In place of it we shall use the out-of doors. This phase consists of exper iments with insects, bacteria and plant diseases.” “So far,” continued Dr. Hodge, “the class work has dealt with the prob lems of biology as found in the grade schools, high schools and universities. I want the students to get the facts of this great problem so that they may be able to go at its solution in telligently, and help the nation to save billions of dollars which now are being eaten away by injurious insects, plant and vegetable fungi, rats and weeds.” At the end of the semester each pupil must hand in a thesis on a subject to be chosen later. Special attention is given to the study of bi ological conditions in Oregon. * FORWARD PASSES * * By Rex Kay. • ************ Hansen, Whitman center, has been protested by Coach Bender of W. S. C. It is claimed that Hansen was on the Whitworth team last year. As a re sult, Coach Archie Hahn has retired Hansen to the bench. Idaho is credited with having the cockiest bunch of rooters in the con ference. They went wild when Ore gon was obliged to call time out twice in the first minute, calling for more Oregon victims—“and they got 'em." Huggins is out for track. He looks like a first place winner. Johnnie Parsons is still playing the same old style that has made him fa mous, neither making nor using any interference. Just give him the ball and let 'er buck. Risley has handled the center job so well that even the coach says he is fair and certainly a hard worker. In the first play at Moscow, Wiest was dazed by a blow on the head. On the second play Anson Cornell was carried to the sidelines with a game knee. However, both men were reinstated before the game was over, Cornell in the second and Wiest in the last quarter. “Nance” Cornall injured the same left knee which the O. A. C. play ers put on the “blink” last year. When the midget awoke Sunday morning he had to be helped out of bed. However, a thorough “steam ing out” by Bill Hayward worked considerable improvement 'and “Nance” is now making his classes on schedule time with the aid of a cane. He will have three weeks in which to nurse the injured prop. The miniature quarterback will probably be on the “outside looking in” at the Willamette game. Sam Cook called on some old ac quaintances while in the Idaho coun try. Sam is a product of the Gem State. Up there they think Sam is a heck of a native son. PROF L V. mitl 10 PUBLISH BOOK SOON “Country Journalism” to be Edited by Head of Journalism Department From Results of Research A model country newspaper, if such a thing exists, is the search instigated by Eric W. Allen, Professor of Jour nalism at the University. “I wanted to locate several country newspapers that were really good,” said Professor Allen, “of such excel lence that they can be used as models in my Journalism classes.” A questionaire was prepared by Professor Allen and sent to 100 lead ing newspaper editors in the United States, at least one in each state. The editors were asked to send the name of the country newspaper which was, in their opinion, the most creditable representative of the country press. The answers were received by Profes sor Allen shortly after they were sent out. More than half the editors spe cified country newspapers, while the rest either octnfessed their inability to answer, or said there was no such thing as a model country newspaper. “Such papers were common when I owned one, but that was 25 years ago,” said one editor. In half a dozen cases the Atchison Globe and the Emporia Gazette, both Kansas papers, were set up as exam ples, but these are really small city papers. When all the answers were received a second questionaire was sent to the country editors who had reveived fa vorable mention in the answers to the original questionaire. These editors were also asked to name an estimable country newspaper. They also sent in their answers. At present Professor Allen is send ing out letters to the country news papers which were conceded to be the best, and asking the editors to write a short article on Country Journalism. “I also intend to edit a book on ‘Country Journalism,’ ” said Jrofessor Allen, “and I shall use these articles. They will be the original opinions of the best country editors. It is the only way I know of getting to be an author without doing a lot of hard work my self.” The book will probably be published some time next January.
