GAME LAWS PROTECT AND INCREASE SUPPLY Alfred Shelton, Field Zoologist, Reports That Under Regula tion Animals Multiplying. With the ending, Saturday, of the open season for duck shpotihg, there comes a. resume of what protection has been doing for the birds and fame within the state. That the present restrictions are pro tecting, and that some birds and animals known to have been scarce are becom ing more plentiful is the .eport of Mr. Alfred Shelton, of the zoology depart ment of the University of Oregon, a field zoologist who is considered an au thority on animal life. Fur Animats Also Included Mr. Shelton's frequent trips, the last of which was made during the Christ mas holidays on snowshoes to Clear lake, at the head of the McKenzie river, have brought him in contact with the conditions. According to Mr. Shelton, measures re cently put through and doing the most good are the reduction of the bag limit, no sale of game, and the prohibition of shooting and using plumages in the mil inary trade. In many sections of the state there is an especially noticeable in crease of grouse and quail. And swan and wild turkey, which were becoming extinct, the protection will probably save. Makes Trips on Snowshoes “Pheasants are increasing rapidly, and hunters express the opinion thnt if well protected and taken care of, they will become one of the leading game birds of the state,” says Mr. Shelton. “The present law gives good protection and at the snrae time is lenient with the hunt ers. Pheasants are easily propogated, and leniency on this bird will protect the smaller quail and grouse.” Next turning his attention to the an imals, Mr. Shelton speaks of the in crease in the beavers as an excellent ex ample of what game laws can do. Bea vers have so increased and the senti ment for an open season on them was so strong at the last session of the legisla ture, tlmt residents of the valleys can hunt and sell them, under the supervis ion of the fish and game commission. They are yet protected in the mountain communities, where they can do no dam age. "From reports and from my own ob servation, the rigid protection is doing good for the deer,” the zoologist says. “The rise in numbers, greatest in the mountains, is made possible by the bounty on cougar, wildcats, and wolves, which arc' the worst of predatory ani mnls, and which are rapidly being killed off. Protection of Pheasants Urged “The protection of the fur-bearing mammals is important and apt to be overlooked. The furs are of such high quality that Oregon has taken a place far up as a producing state. But. in re cent years, the animals in the high Cas cades have been so much trapped that it lias been necessary to inflict a closed season, and to issue special licenses. The open season is now sufficiently long, and allows the best trapping in the win ter season for the prime hides.” From the standpoint of the fisherman, Mr. Shelton says the laws are doing good work, because streams and lakes in the Cascades, which a few years ago had no fisli whatever, are now teeming with trout that weigh up to four and five pounds each.

For at the pioneer and alum nae meeting which will be held at the bungalow, Tuesday afternoon, refresh ments nre again to be served—that is— tea. And perhaps other things.

I* _!_ PRESS NOTES j The Savoy theatre present the wonder fid story of “The Painted Soul.” A young artist paints a picture intend ed to'portray the awakening of a soul, lie calls the picture "The Resurrection.” The painting not only creates a sensa tion, tout is the means of brining about the regeneration of a girl of the under world, one of the artist’s models, whom be hap rescued from the slums, and who watches the picture, entranced, as she posesjin his studio. When the artist falls in love with his model, his worldly minded mother tells her that she is un fit toibe her son's wife. Whereupon the girl rleaolves to cure the artist of his passion by sacrificing herself on the altar of hepr great love. This she accom plishes by allowing herse'i to be com promised and afterward arrested on a trumped-up charge. The artist leaves her in despair. The girl’s own resur rection follows as she starts on her lonely pathway up to a higher and bet ter life. i FORD’S PEACE STUDENTS WILL ISSU^ “CHALLENGE” War Challenge? No, A Paper Which Will Forty-two of the 186 people who went on the Ford peace expedition were Am erican students, and it may be ask^d what did these students get from each other og such a trip. One^ direct result of their association will'soon appear in the form of the first number of “The Challenge.” This paper, which will be published in New York, with a staff of 10 editors, five of whom were on the peace mission, will discuss student problems that affect the whole country. The first issue will be a peace number. The 42 students represented 35 univer sities. The university of Nebraska had three representatives. Two of them had already taken somq part in peace work, and were invited personally. No other in stitution had more1 than two. Paciflo Coast Sends Three On the coast, the University of Wash ington was represented by Emil Hurja, editor of the Washington daily; Univer sity of Oregon by Lamar Tooze, president of the student body; University of Cal ifornia by Paul Fussell, chairman of the Welfare committee; Stanford Univer sity by A. J. Hettinger, Jr. Lamar Tooze describes the latter as able, brilliant, and an excellent debater. As to the attitude of the students of the party toward their own institutions, Mr. Tooze says he1 was most struck by their air of detachment. Many seemed to look at their college not as a place to develop ideas of living and government, but as a great manufactory of learning. He said that he became best acquainted with Donald M. Lo,ve, the Oberlin repre sentative, with whcjm he roomed. All of them he found were very congenial. He said he noticed one great difference be tween them and the European students —the latter are much the more radical. He discovered that European students in most cases use very good English. The party visited the Universities at Stock holm and Copenhagen and a Copenhagen commercial school. “The buildings we found often more artistic than our own,” Mr. Tooze said, “but they haven’t as many fts we have, aud I suspect they aren’t as good or as convenient as ours."” All of the students did not return. Earl Tucker, University of Syracuse, who is a friend of Mrs. Mabel H. Parsons, remained as a secretary on the business staff of the neutral conference. Two students stayed to go into the Belgian relief work. i College “COSTS” ADDED TO COURSE Class in Newspaper Management W!ll Work Out (Cost System.
