TRAINING FOR LIFE HELD COLLEGE Hi Dean Fox Enthusiastic Over Possibility of Oregon Young Women “College girls? 1 guess they are my line,” said Dean Fox with a quick smile. “80 much so, in fact, that ever since my own entrance as a freshman at Barnard,” and here the Dean tried to look reminiscent, “in 1904, I have thought of the year, as beginning with the fal' opening college, instead of January 1. “it sounds so trite to say college girls are won lcrful and splendid and all that, but. I do believe that they repre sent the aristocracy of our young wo manhood as they come full of ideas and ideals, to gather their forces together in order to be better able to assume their share of the world’s work. Aristocracy in Fine Sense “And that, I think, 1h what college is coining morn and more to mean,” the Dean went on. “It is not so much training for a position in life as train ing for life itself, an equipment for ser vice to others. It is the aristocracy of women in the finest sense of the world, not in the snobbish sense, although we do find snobbishness here as we do ev erywhere. There is nothing I have less patience with,” she declared with em phasis. "The young women of this generation know so little of real work, the work that their mothers and grandmothers had to do, that they have a great deal of leisure which will either be spent in unpleasant idleness nr will be used in helping humanity.” Spare Time Used That women are using their spare time is evident, Doan Fox believes, in the rapidity with which they are forg ing into new fields, American women are perhaps leading tho world in the variety of occupations. Europe also shows this, tho French women leading there, the Dean said. Holland also shows a simibir tendency, too Dean pointed out, fH’l illustrated this characteristic by tolling an anecdote of her trip to Europe, fcdio told of a Dutchman who came to speak to her after a mooting to find out how tho Americans subdued their women who branched out into the field of athletics and were immodest enough to enjoy it. Poor Hans had mis understood the term “student govern ment” which the speakor used, inter preting it as government of tho women students by the men. Should Browse More “On the whole," Doan Fox said, “I believe the women of tho University of Oregon to bo a group of the finest young women T have known. There is perhaps a tendency to spend too much time in this so-called social life, in dancing, and yet that is not a serious criticism because there is not so much dancing as there appears to be to the outsider who does not realize that dif ferent groups entertain at different times. Hut. more time for browsing would be so much better, long leisurely tramps. That is also a difficulty of tlie girl who earns her way. There n no time for just quiet and change. Of course if she cannot come without that, I say by all means come. Hut it is so much better to have a bit of leisure time.” NEW ART INSTRUCTORS GUESTS AT RECEPTION Willcox, Hal'on and Brown Honored; Talk Givon by President Campbell; Music on Program An informal reception to which the University faculty was invited was held Wednesday night in (lie studio of the arc bit eel ore building in honor of the new instructors in the S-hool of \rchi lecture ami Allied Arts YV.

FORMER STUDENTS WILL BE MARRIED IN NEW YORK Lucille Saunders, Prominent Journalist, and Harold McDonald Announce Their Engagement Lucilo F. Saunders, ex-’19, and Har old McDonald, also a former student in the University, will be married De cember 23, according to tentative plans just announced in New York. Miss Saunders, who is a member of the New York staff of the United Press, was news editor (then known as city editor) of the Emerald in the spring of 1917. She was a major in the school of journalism. After leaving college she worked as reporter on the Marsh field Times and the Bend Bulletin, go ing to Salem later as telegraph editor of the Statesman . After a year of re porting on the Portland Oregonian she made a trip of a year and a half to South America, working for several months in Buenos Aires for the United Press. At one time, during the absence of the manager, Miss Saunders was in charge of the filing of the United Press news report for the whole of South America. On her return from the south she accepted a position in the New York office of the U. P. She is a mem ber of Theta Sigma Phi, women’s hon orary journalism fraternity.

STREET-CAR TACTICS (Continued from page one.) a complex, suggests a rail around the reserve desks on which to rest one foot while delving into the little windows trying to find the book that looks like the one you think your assignment is in. Another good suggestion was to the effect that according to the theory of relativity nothing is where it seems to be anyway and a double deck system of coy little desks could be built. Perhaps the best idea so far is that all reading of reserve books cease to be a requirement in courses until the congestion in the library has been elim inated and that then we might begin over with a clean slate.

GIRLS AMASS MONEY Everyone has the impression that Theta Sigma l'hi must now be a rich corporation, judging by the number of doughnuts sold on the campus yester day. The journalism women, when in terviewed last night, tiredly but smil ingly remarked that they had seld about a hundred and seventy-five dozen doughnuts. CAMPUS WORKER TELLSJF ALASKA Party Makes Trip of Over 250 Miles in Small Tractor; Haul Provisions By Don Woodward “Alaska! Do I look like I could lie well enough to give you a good inter view on Alaska?” I assured him laughingly, that I thought he did. His blue eyes sparkling good-natur edly, his broad, brown face creasing into wrinkles of whole-hearted humor, C. E. Eldean, campus electrician and plumber, paused momentarily from his work on the new journalism “shack,” and told me to come around at lunch time. “I can give you a whole hour then, and if I run down, I can fill out the time by quoting ‘The Cremation of Sam McGee,’ ” he said. I found him after the noon whistle shrieked, opening his lunch box, and carefully spreading the contents on the work bench. “Five other fellows and I went north last spring to work a mine up on Iron creek. One of them went to the Uni versiy here about 1911; ’’Spud” Camer on, we called him. “From Seattle, we shipped to Skag way, and then took the railway up to Carcross. It costs 20 cents a mile to take that train. At Carcross, we start ed overland.” That was a trip! Eldean and his companions treked over 250 miles through the snow, in the wake of a “Baby Caterpillar” tractor drawing two loaded sleighs. Six hun dred gallons of gasoline and five tons of supplies were coaxed over the im provised trail to camp. “The ‘cat’ broke through the ice several times,” narrated the vacation ist-miner. “I’ll tell you we sure work ed to get her out before she could freeze up!” It took from March 17 to April 25 to cover the distance, according to El dean. The mine, a placer, was discov ered in 1916, and appears to be very rich and large. All the work last sum mer was done by hand with sluice-boxes, and although they were only able to handle two or three yards a day, a very good return was realized. Eight caribou, five moose, and one! grizzly furnished the season’s meat.! These were shot by Eldean, who said! he was the hunter for the group. He added that wild sheep and goats are numerous, and the country is overrun j with black bears. “The grizzly is the fellow you want to watch!” he declared. “They are worse than a cat for having nine lives. An old prospector up there downed one of the “big boys” weighing about 800 pounds. It had 19 bullet holes in its carcass! ” “The men of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police are the ‘whitest and squarest’ humans I’ve ever met,” glow ingly related the electrician. “They treat a man right. If he’s sick they help him, if he is in any kind of trou ble they are always there to help, but if he commits a crime—he might as well give himself up. Because if he don’t, they’ll get him anyway—alive or dead.” The six members came out of the “inside country” on a raft, drifting down the Hoodlink river to the Yukon, where they took a steamer to the rail way at White Horse. “We left supplies and tools in there, j Among them are three caribou “cach ed” between a couple of tali pines. They will be good next summer.” “You are going back next year!” I asked. “I’d sure like to,” he answered wist fully. “But my wife; she says I ain’t.” VARSITY BASKETEERS TO COACH SCRUB LEAGUE Do-Nut Organization Is Perfected by Bohler; Lettermen Will Train New Material Do-nut basketball is taking on added importance this year because of the formation of a do-nut scrub league by basketball coach Bohler.
