Commerce Instructor Writes On Traffic Question. MANUSCRIPT SENT EAST Railroad Experts Aid In Get ting Material. A book on “Traffic Management,’’ the only one of its kind in the United States, from the university viewpoint, has been written by George A. Denfeld, associate professor of commerce in the University of Oregon. The manuscript has been sent to the Itonalcl Press Company, of »w York City, for publication. Professor Denfeld started work on the book three years ago while teaching at the University of Montana, continued while instructing at the Georgia Tech, Atlanta, Georgia, and finished it at the University of Oregon. Ho is well quali fied for the work, having had a number of years of actual railroad experience witli tlie Chicago and Northwestern rail way, the Northern Pacific, and the Nash ville. Chattanooga & St. Louis railway. The last two roads were particularly helpful in giving him desired informa tion. Practical Work Needed. “I saw the need for practical work on traffic management while attending the University of Wisconsin,” Professor Denfeld said. “There I was struck by the lack of textbooks on the subject. Then I decided to write one which should he available to four classes of people: (1) students in universities and colleges;] (•_*) railroad men; (3) industrial concerns] with traffic departments, and (4) rail road commissioners and examiners.” Traffic management experts of Port land gave suggestions to Professor Pen fold. Among the men who did this are tV. D. Skinner, traffic manager of the S. P. & S.; H. A. Hinshaw, general freight agent of the Southern Pacific; H. K. Lounsbury, general freight agent of the O.-W. R. & N., vice-president of the Portland transportation-club, and others. At a Portland banquet, attended by the University traffic management students a few weeks ago. these men voiced their approval of the manuscript. W. D. Skin ner, traffic manager of the S. P. & S.. wrote the preface for the book. Five Divisions Made. The book is divided into five parts, as follows: Part I. Tonnage and Kate Con struction: Part II. Classifications; Part .III. Tariffs; Part IV. Transportation •Services; and Part Y, Traffic Adminis tration. These main (parts are subdivid ed into departments. Being a believer in graphic teaching, the author has many graphs and illustrations in the book. Many practical problems gained from ex perience, numbering from 50 to 400, are in each part, also from 100 to 300 prac tical questions are given for the students to answer. To sum up. Professor Den feld has made practicality the keynote of the book. Another Volume to Follow. “The University of Oregon is the only school in the United States that is teaching traffic management from the university standpoint.” said the author. “This course should be in every college in the country. Traffic management is a coming field, and is only ten years old. People are just awakening to its value.” Another volume will follow. It will cover interstate commerce law, railroad accounting, express and parcels post ser vice. Professor Denfeld has collected all the material for it, and is going to start on the manuscript.

SCANDAL OF 1903 APPROVED IN 1921 Bloomers, a Disgrace; Girls’ Basketball Subject For Faculty Talks 18 Years Ago. Scandal! Scandal! Yon can see it. lieai- it. feel it. The whole campus is over to widespread conferences— long faculty meetings behind closed doors, (•iris walk about cautiously, white-faced from sleepless nights, and hours spent “on the carpet” before shocked and irate faculty members. What is the trouble? you say. Ah. gather about me and I will tell a tale that will make you hide your face in shame. 'Tis this: Once upon a time in distant past, ten young ladies played basketball in the dear "old women's gym.’* They had begged and plead for days that they might have this game and at last the ever careful and ever watchful-of-onr morals faculty consented, but there must he no men present or dire and dreadful things would befall. And. can you beat it. some awfully naughty girls (indeed, we'll not tell who they were), dressed some men up in fluffy-rnfties and took them to the game. At first everything went off fine, but then, horror of hor rors! Then men got excited and yelled right out loud. Now, the faculty mem bers present knew that no well-bred and refined young lady could or would do a thing like that, and so investigations were made right then and there. It was ter rible, it was awful—but it happened. That was in 190o. when one of the new faculty members was a student in this self-same University, and it was she who told the story after all these years of silence. The girls wore skirts then, she said. That is, most of them did; a few of the more daring ventured to wear those awful things girls wear now—! blpomers! It was some scandal, she says, and not a few of the girls came ever so near being quietly, but firmly, dropped from the roll. Nowadays, we have our hockey, base ball, basketball, and what not, open to spectators, men and women alike. The girls wear the formerly tabooed bloom ers and worry not at the sight of men in the audience. ’Tis only a bit of a while since 1903 now, we ask you—are we all going to the long-haired and curly tailed bow wows ? STUDENT EMPLOYEES NEED NEW SCHEDULE Shift In Prices Has Caused Necessity For Revision of List Made Three Years Ago. A campus conference of those inter ested in the employment of students was held yesterday afternoon at the bungn- j low to revise the working schedule which j regulates the prices, hours for work, and | kind of work to be done. This schedule has not been changed for three years, but prices have been advanced by the common consent of those employed. The meeting was called by Jessie Todd, chair man of the practical service committee of the Y. W. C. A. Representatives from the administra tion, faculty people and townspeople at tended the meeting. The advance in j prices for different work is very notice able and many changes had to be made, i This new schedule will be followed by all the students employed. Housework used to be done for 25 cents an hour, but now women pay ?>5 and 40 cents. It is. therefore, necessary to have some standard scale. CLASS OF 1896 MEET HERE Edgar B.
