Hypnotic Eye Overcomes Big Bear
Hwrrassed 'by bear and ‘•battered” bj
an unruly pack-horse, eight of Oregon’s
faculty and campus figures spent an
eventful fortnight along the fishing
streams of the Cascade mountains this
summer between August l!-j and Septem
ber 7. The company was composed of
I>r. J. H. (Gilbert, Dr. R. C. Clark, Dr.
B. W. DeBusk, Dean E. C. Robbins, Dr.
H. D. Sheldon, John C. Alniack. Marion
McClain and E. A. Thurber, of Colorado
College.
According to the “dope” gleaned from
different sources, which the parties con
cerned were particular not to reveal, J.
jl. Gilbert was the leading figure in
the whole affair. On the morning of de
parture, the group was self-styled the
Pb. D.’s, but before the day was over it
Was Gilbert’s expedition, and eventually,
•s 'razors were left behind and as appear
' races suggested, he became simply Le
nine.
Picture an evening scene with “Jim
mie” the central figure: “Clark, select
eight medium sized potatoes, thoroughly
deanse and peel them, slice them thin,
and fry to a crisp brown. Hebert, you
fetch two pails of water. John, you:;
light the fire.” Even Marion McClain,
who in civil life is chronically inclined
to manage everything in sight, had to
recognize the superior genius.
Dr. R. C. Clark, ordinarily dispense':
of historical intelligence, was official
culinary expert. Whether the work ‘ex
pert’ can be applied with all veracity or
not depends; the fact that Dean Rob
bins occasionally fried the pancakes im
plies a doubt. Dr. Clark stoutly main
tained under all circumstances that this
was absolutely no reflection on himself,
apd that the Jean’s motive in so doing
was merely to get the largest ones in the
pan.
W5th but two guns in the expedition,
and those safely packed away in camp.
■Professors Robbins, DeBusk and Almack
once found it extremely embarrasing as
they rounded a huge rock on a dec;
canyon trail to find themselves face t<
fact! with ji beav. standing on a log about
40 feet away. The bear glowered at
them. The party steadily returned the
ggge. The, bear showed no sign of re
treat; the faculty members held firmly
*th* their ground. It was with deep re
gret, ao they say, that they stood and
pitched the bear amble off; bat helpless
as they were, it could not 'be prevented.
This was the largest bear ever seen in
that section. (So say the faculty mem
hers.)
i Tie out-standing memory of the trip
will forever be ‘Ginger.’ Ginger was an
unruly nag, who refused to track or lead
as any self-respecting pack horse should
do. When Jimmy sat in meditation on
that first day out. With Ginger standing
patiently in front o fhim. he knew that
the pa ok was not the difficulty, for Dr
Gilbert knew that he knew how to sling
a pack. Then it was that the idea
stiiuek blip, the idea which clearly showed
to his colleagues that he was as great at
diplomacy as he was at economics. Tie
would compromise. If Ginger would no
lead, he should be steered from the
rear.
Jimmy forthwith rigged up a pair of
reins, and together, in tandem style,
Jimmy aud Giugou' took the paths along
the north fork of the Willamette and
around Waldo Lake and Oakridge, to Eu
gene and home. i

No Examinations or Roll Call
For Students There.
"The capital of Norway, Christiania
is as badly crowded with people as any
city in the United States,” states Melvin
T. Solve, who was granted a R. A. de
gree by the University of Oregon in
1918, and who at present is studying in
the University of Christiania, in a iette;
written to Miss Mary Watson, professor
of English literature. The letter was
dated September 9.
-Mr. Solve also wrote that he was liv
ing in the suburbs of Cb istiania but that
the beauty of the fiords and harbor com
pensates him for the distance that be
t^as to travel.] The formality of the col
lege lectures, he stated, is in great con
trast to the close relationship existing
between the American professors and
pupils. In Norway, the professors mount
the collegp rostrums,bow to the students,
deliver their lectures, bow again, and
then leave. There are no roll calls, no
monthly or yearly quizzes, mnd the only
examination that the students have to
take is when they apply for a degree.
Then the students must take an examina
tion in all the subjects fatten during their
college career.
Last year'Mr. Solve was an inatructoi
in rhetoric in the University of Oregon,
■and also took postgraduate work. lie
was one of a group of twenty chosen
from the entire United States for Scan
dinavian-Aineriean fellowship amounting
to $1000 yearly. This feijowship is grant
ed by the Scandinavian universities for
a period of one year with a possible ex
tension of another year if the work is
satisfactory. Mr. Solve is an ex-service
man, having served with the 01st Division i
in France.
MRS. GRIFFIN IN Y WORK
Put on '‘Honest to Goodness Parties” for
Service Men.
Mrs. Heim E. Griffin, wife of Elton
Griffin, new history instructor at the
University of Oregon was engaged in Y.
W. C. A. entertainment work in the
camps near Seattle during the war. Iter
work consisted mainly of putting on what
she called “honest to goodness parties”
every Saturday night for soldiers, sail
ors, and marines. The work was car
ried on in conjunction with the War
Camp Community Service, the object of
the parties being to give a chance for
the boys, who did not dance, to have a
good time. She had charge of parties of
girls who went to the camps on Satur
day evenings to give these parties.
Mrs. Griffin is a graduate of Welles
lev College and a member of Phi Beta
Kappa.
VARSITY II TO HAVE 1ST TRYOUT
(Continued from page 1)
the game, Latham, Mead. Hoisington and
Boyer will go in at the ahlves and Dur
no may be given a chance to pilot the
team in Rinehart’s place during the af
tennoon.
“Heck” Dorman, head coach of the
Multnomah club squiad will arrive in Eu
gene. today at noon and will bring with
him 2(5 huskies to wear the club colors
in tbir afternoon’s game. Coach Dor
man has not given out his line-up but
he too is bringing along plenty of men to
be used during the game.
The game will begin promptly at 2:00
o’clock in order that the club team will
have time to catch the 5:25 train back
to Portland. The game will be free of
admission and it will not he necessary
to bring along the student ticket in order
to get in. Kincaid field will be the place.
Because this is not a conference game
and will in all probability not measure up
I to a mid-season game will' be no excuse ■
for the student body not turning out en
masse to witness it. The team needs
the support of the students and it be
hoves each and every loyal Oregon stu
dent to be on Kincaid field this afternoon
to get behind the team in the first cru
cial test of the 1920 football season, i
