C. winner began to forge ahead and the whole gang began to string out. When they again came in sight of the stands roars of encouragement went up from the spectators. Two O. A. C. men had too much lead to be overcome. The first three men finished strong, the rest eoming in on their nerve. From first to last the competition for places was keen.

DAYS OF ’49 RECALLED AT CONDON CLUB’S MEETING Address Made by Claire Holdredge on Summer Activities of Geology Department Near Medford The wildest revelries of the “hard boiled” forty-niners were recalled by the members of the Condon club plus their guests in a social meeting held in Johnson hall. “Booze,” in the form of cider, flowed freely over the bar, provided , for the occasion, and enough gold dust | changed hands, via the poker route, j to make Jay Dee’s millions fade. “Pards” for the evening were chosen 1 by matching cards upon which was written some fraction of some geologic term. The man holding the card upon which were written the words neces sary for the completion of the term ■ begun on the card was the man you were to stick to no matter how hard ^ the trail might be. All of this followed a program meet- | ing at which Claire Holdredge, gradu- j ate student of the geology department, | gave on address the summer work of the department especially in the vicin ity of Medford. Invitations to the j meeting were sent to four chemistry j majors and to seven members of the 1 engineering society and according to ; Delmer Powers, vice-president of the club the entire meeting was primarily, a move toward the coordination of all students interested in science. PROFESSOR DUNN’ TO STAR “The Mouse Trap,” by Howells, Given by Eastern Star Nov. 18 What admiring student would ever guess, as he listened to a lecture on Latin literature delivered by Prof. Frederick S. Dunn, of the Latin depart ment, that he was gazing upon a theat rical star? This is another case when “things are not what they seem,” for Professor Dunn appeared before Eugene foot lights on Friday. He took the lead in “The Mouse Trap,” by Wil liam Dea Howells, which was put on under the auspices ot the eastern Star here. Playing opposite Professor Dunn was Miss Nellie Lombard, a Uni versity of Oregon graduate now in structor in the Eugene high school. FACULTY MEMBER JOINT AUTHOR OF TEXT BOOK 1 _ C. D. Thorpe of U. of 0. and F. C. Lockwood of Arizona, Write Book on Public Speaking Clarence PeWitt Thorpe, head of the department of public speaking of the University of Oregon, and Francis Cummings Lockwood, director of the extension division of the University of Arizona, are the authors of a new book called “Outline Speaking Today.” The text is intended especially for high school students and emphasizes the present day trend in public speak ing. In the preface the authors state their purpose to teach the student “to speak in plain, strong, earnest, every day conversation, carefully considered and forceful.” An abundance of prac tical exercises in parliamentary pro cedure, play reading and all other forms of public speaking will give the stu dent the practice which is necessary to become an effective public speaker. “Mr. Lockwood and I are both cranks on the necessity of material in argu mentation,” said Mr. Thorpe, “and we have emphasized that need in our chapters on debate.” The authors presented their manu script to the publishers, Benj. H. San born & Co. in December 1920 but at that time publishers were troubled with the high cost of materials and Mr. Thorpe and Mr. Lockwood were told that it would be 1923 before the book could be published. However, there was such a need for a desirable text on public speaking that the publishers set to work as soon as possible. The book has been on the market about a month and the publishers declare it; to be the first high school text to cover the entire field of public speaking. PRUETT ADDRESSES CLUB Brorwnian Movements are Discussed at Science Gathering ‘•The Brownian movements, and ex periments illustrating them,” was the subject of Dr. J. H. Pruett ’s address before the science club recently. These movements are so-called after the I botanist Brown. I In an experiment in 1827 Brown dis j covered that certain little particles, \ which he proved to be non-living, dance ! about under the miscroscope for no rea ! son which he could then find. In 1800 ! the cause was definitely decided upon. J Perrin, a Prench scientist, proved that j the motion of the small particles was | due to the bombardment of those parti cles by molecules.
