Other Oregon Scenic Pic
tures Presented.
COLLECTION IS TO GO EAST
Slides Are First of Their Kind
Here: l^Tot Painted, but
Photographed.
Two hundred and twenty stereoptican
slides of Oregon scenery, the result of two
and a half years work in color photog
raphy, were presented to the largest as
sembly audienbe of the year, in Villard
hall, yesterday! morning. The pictures are
the work of, and the property of, Henry
Berger, Jr., and Frank Ives Jones, both
of Portland.
Mr. Berger |oecupied the platform and
explained the pcenes. Mr. Jones operated
the projector.
Views of Portland, Mt. Hood, the lower
Columbia highway, the upper Columbia
highway, the Columbia river itself, Hood
River Valley, White Salmon valley, and
Crater Lake n^ade up the greater part of
the exhibition. Close range photos of
Oregon wild flowers and of Portland ros
es constituted fhe remainder.
The slides are not hand colored photo
graphs, but ratjlier real color pictures, tak
en on specially prepared plates. Color
photography is! a recent acquisition, un
known until three years ago.
Mr. Berger’s talk emphasized the beau
ty of the Oregon scenery and of the Ore
gon flowers as( brought out in the natur
al colors; and the wonders of the Colum
bia river highway.
Will Appeal to Tourists.
“This highway should bring to Oregon
and Portland millions of dollars that are
yearly going |to Switzerland,” he said.
“Oregon's scenery stands unrivaled. A
greater part of it is now made acces
sible by a roacj way that is wonderful in
itself, The soliql concrete bridges are high
er than any others of their kind. There
is no other such dry masonry in the
world.” T
The names of Roadmaster J. B. Yeon,
of Multnomah county, Simon Benson, who
purchased 700 acres of land around Mult
nomah falls to preserve as a park for
the public, and Samuel C. Lancaster, the
engineer who designed and built the high
way, came up, many times during the
course of the lecture.
Mr. Berger told how Mr. Lancaster
showed an appreciation of art as well as
engineering ability in all of his highway
work. In some cases the roadway was
purposely built' around large trees in or
der that those trees might be saved to
make the effects more beautiful.
Views to Go East.
Some of the views that excited most
applause were!: “A Bird seve I iew of
Portland with Mt. Hood in the Back
ground,” “Portland Roses”, “Typical
Portland Rose Homes,” “Oregon Wild
Flowers,” “The Columbia Gorge from
Crown Point,’ “Sunset from Crown
Point,” “Multnomah Falls, Mt. Hood
from Larch Mountain,” “McCord Creek
Bridge,” (the largest concrete arch bridge
in the world), “The Tunnel at Mitchel
Point”, “The Top of Oregon, and Cra
ter Lake.” i ,
The pictures are soon to be taken east
where thev will be shown before the nat
ional convention of Chambers of Com
merce of the United States, and, if pos
sible. before the House of Representatives
in the United States congress.
Neither Mr. Berger or Mr. Jones do
photography as a business. Mr. Berger
is a decorator, Mr. Jones is a wholesale
grocer. Both lhave worked together at
photography as' a hobby for more than lo
years.

13TH AND KINCAID TO BE
LOCATION OF NEW EDIFICE
The new $40,000 educational building
will be located on the corner of Thir
teenth and Kincaid streets. This was
decided when the executive committee of
the board of regents met with President
Campbell, Wednesday night.
No other important action took place.
This executive committee consists of
Regents W. K. Newell, C. H. Fisher,
Mrs. G. F. Gerlinger, A. C. [Dixon and
Ray Goodrich. They attended the Ber
ger anl Jones exhibition of color-pho
tographv before going into session.
FACULTY TO ADVANCE
COST OF THE PAGEANT
$2000 Guarantee Fund Will be
Raised by $10 per
Capita Tax.
Commencement week will be held be
fore June examinations this year. So de
cided the University faculty at its meet
ing Friday December 17. The meeting
was for the purpose of discussing plans
for securing a seven year medical course
at the University; the settlement of the
commencement date and the advisability
of having a pageant instead of the usual
commencement play.
A second meeting called Friday ac
cepted the report of the pageant com
mittee and voted two to one in favor of
the event.
Outline of Pageant Read
Dr. E. S Bates drew up a brief outline
of the pageant, which -will be based on
Oregon history. He expects it will take
between 100 and 300 participants. These
actors will be taken from the student
body, and will be chosen by committees,
the latter of whom will 'be appointed by
Dr. Bates and Professor F. G. Thacher.
These men are in charge of pageant pre
parations and are to be assisted by Pro
fessor A. F. Reddie up to the time of,
the latter’s departure East.
In the past commencement week has
started with the baccalaureate sermon on
the first Sunday following examinations.
On Monday there has been the commence
ment play and the Failing and BeeknJan
oratorical contest; Tuesday, meeting of
the state alumnae association and the
Board of Regents; Wednesday, faculty
day; Thursday, commencement proper.
But under the new schedule, classes
will end on Friday; the pageant will be
held Friday evening; Alumnae day will
be Saturday; baccalaureate sermon, Sun
day and so on. Second semester exam
inations comemnee on Tuesday and end
on Saturday. In this way those who
would stay for commencement will be
enabled to go home one week earlier
and the others will b i hqjd only one
day longer.
racuuy to nnance payment
In the matter of financing the pageant
the cost of which will be in the neigh
borhood of $2000, a guarantee will be
raised by the faculty. Each member will
put up ten dollars; the student body
and the towns-people will assure the
remainder. At the ampitheatre, which
Professor Thacher says will seat three
thousand people a charge of fifty cents
will be made. The amphitheatre will be
situated in the clump of three south west
of Deady hall. •
Y. W. UNPAID MEMBERS
TO BE DENIED BALLOT
Edct Affects Would-Be Custodian of
the Moneys and 43 Per Cent of
the Organization
If you haven’t paid your dues—sup
posing you belong to the Y. W. C. A._
you will not be permitted to vote at the
annual election Tuesday, February 8.
This edict issued by the Y. W. treas
urer, Mina Ferguson, and assented to by
Miss Mary Gillies, general secretary,
may throw confusion amongst the ranks
of candidates. For two of them have
ont yet paid their dues and one of these
is hoping to become keeper of the mon
eys. And the treasurer states that she
will in person appear on the election
board, and as voters approach, cheek
them off her book.
To date 80 of the 185 members hold
receipts for dues. Forty-three per cent.
But the treasurer or Miss Gillies will be
charmed to receive dues, they say, up
to the very hour.
Will Vote by Ballot.
Not only will the unpaid members be
denied the ballot, but those voting will
be constrained to do so on paper, and
with a pencil, and without consulting
fellow voters.
Miss I erguson states that no person
may serve on the election board whose
dues are unpaid. But no questions will
be put her when she is sworn in as to
age, or "party affiliated with.” It is ex
pected that besides the treasurer there
will be on the board Marian Iteed and
a chairman pro tem.
One new candidate for the office of
president was named at a Y. W. C. A.
meeting Tuesday. The list of nominees
now stands: President, Louise Allen,
Ruth Westfall, Jennie Huggins; vice
president. Ruth Fraley, Dorothy Wilkin
son; secretary, Dorothy Collier, Roberta
Killam; treasurer, Lillian Littler, Ruth
Wilson.
JURY PLAYS HOOKEY
MUM RELEASED
Prisoner Pleads That He Did
Not Think It His Duty “to Go
After When Meeting Will Be”
The grand jury in the case of Senior
Class vs. Joe Tominaga failed to render
a verdict yesterday by scattering when
sent out into the hall to make their de
cision. No trace of the jury being found,
the prisoner was released without bail.
In the development of the trial, which
lasted upward of 90 minutes, however,
considerable evidence unfavorable to the
defendant was unearthed by Sleuths 11.
Bean and B. Avisou. But I\ Brown, at
torney for the defense, in his closing
speech wrung sympathetic tears from
both the jury-ladies and himself.
Dramatic Passes Used.
There was no lack of dramatic passes,
indeed : Erna I’etzold refused to serve on
the jury, when first summoned, and was
fined one box of candy for contempt
of court; Judge Batley was forced to
light the gas and warm his hands, nfter
one of 1*. Brown's cold witticisms; again,
several jurymen went to sleep; at length
the admission was wrung from Max Som
mer that he thought he was editor of the
Emerald.
Tominaga's plea that he was ready,
surely—willing, surely—glad, surely, to
do his duty, but that he did not think it
his duty “to go after when meeting will
be", was the substance of the defense.

this argument by reminding the jury that
the class had a representative with the
Ford Peace party. An attempt was made
to discredit Mr. Cossman's testimony by
asking him the given name of the Mikado.

Martha C. Raley, swore that she would
not be prejudiced against the defendant
even if he were a very corpulent man,
nor by the fact that he was a ’’brunette”
nor if he were a t1all man.
It was shown by the defense that J
Tominaga had not known when senior
meetings were being held, and therefore
could not well attend to the duties of

A hoard of directors will probably he
organized sometime after the approach

A salesroom and perhaps a store room
will be provided by President Campbell.
There will be offices in the new edu
cation building, which is to be built by
September, and so it is thought the stu
dents may have their store in Peady,
perhaps where the Y. M. C. A. book ex
change is now.
Bookstore to Be Given Over
The students may take the book store
whenever they wish, says President
Campbell. The University is willing to
let the two or three thousand bo.ks
that it will have on hand when it gives
up the store stand as an asset to the
student store.
“There will be a new assistant in the
commerce department next year, and it
is hoped part of his time may be occupied
as manager of the store”, said Mr. Kuck.
One of the men whom the commerce
department has in view is a retail store
expert.

S. P. u:s GASP FOR AIR
Foul Air of Hygiene Quarters
Worries Fresh Air Fiend,
But He Laughs.
“A fine example of a travesty,” says
rrofessor Swectscr, “is the room in
which I teach sanitary hygiene. I believe
it to be the wotRt ventilated and least
sanitary class room on the campus.”
“Here I stand preaching fresh air, and
urging everybody to join my S. P. U.
club, while nil ninety of the students
breathe the same old air over and over
again and raise the temperature to a
Fourth of July kent. Even the two old
stove pipe uoles by the windows are
plugged up.”
The S. I*. U. club isn’t a secret society.
S. P. U. means “Solar Plexus Up."
Professor Swoetser’s lecture room is
on the first floor of Heady hall Each
row of seats is eight inches higher than
the row in frotn of it. The windows are
on the sunny sodth side. So the curtains
can’t be raised because the bright light is
always hard on somebody’s eyes. The
windows can’t lie opened because the
breeze blows papers off the chair arms
and makes a draught. Moreover this 11
o’clock hygiene class includes fifteen min
utes of stereoptifcan views at the end of
each lecture. While these pictures arc be
