OLD STUDENTS VISIT ' CAMPUS ON WAY EAST Mr. and Mrs. Roy Pryor to Take Up Work in China Mrs. Roy Pryor (Helen Brenton, ’19), ■with her husband, to whom she was married in Kansas City, December 1, reached Eugene yesterday on their way to Peking, China, where they will en gage in college and hospital work. Mrs. Pryor, who was the editor of the Ore gana in 1718 and editor of the Emer ald in the spring of 1919, visited the University and dropped in at her old haunts around the copy desk. At the wedding the bridesmaid was Dorithy Wilkinson, a former student at the University of Oregon, who made the trip frm Omaha for the ceremony. Mrs. W. H. Brenton and Helen’s twin brother came from New York; the bridegroom made ilie trip for Califor nia, and Mrs. Brenton jaunted down from Minneapolis, where she had re ceived the degree of doctor of medi cine from the University of Minnesota. Mrs. Pryor specialized in pediatrics at the Minnesota medical school, and she expects to treat women and chil dren at the Peking Medcal institution, operated there by the Rockefeller Foun dation, with which she is now associa ted. Her husband will be a member of the faculty of the Yale university unit in Peking. She is anticipating with more or less dread, she says, her encounter with the intended dialect of northern China, in which she will ul timately communicate with her pa tients. Ths career is one of which Helen Brenton had a vision even before her graduation from the University of Ore gon. Mr. and Mrs. Pryor left last night for San Francisco, from where they will sail for the Orient. RESTRICTIVE EXERCISE MEN TAKE UP SPORTS Policy of Physical Education Depart ment to Teach Games Bather Than Correct Defects The policy of the department of physical education for men regarding the 105 men assigned to restrictive ex ercises because of some minor physical defect is to perfect them in some sport rather than spend a great amount of time in an effort to cure the defect, ac cording to H. A. Scott, head of the de partment. A great many of the defects for which men were assigned to re strictive exercises could be cured by long and tedious effort, he says, but in many cases it would scarcely be worth while. Indoor baseball, swimming, and golf are among the sports which are given to the restricted exercises classes at the present time. These sports can be taken up by a large number of the men without injuring them in any way and by learning them games in college they may acquire an athletic interest and ability which will be useful to them throughout life. There are more men assigned to re stricted exercises this year than last but Mr. Scott attributes the increase to more efficient methods used in giv ing physical examinations. Men who were thought to have some infirmity were given a number of examinations until the exact nature of their ^trouble was determined. SHACK NOW 'QUARTZ HALL’ Condon Club Decides ‘Bock Hall’ Lacks Sufficient Dignity After much strife and warfare, and attempted ballot-stuffing on the part of members of Condon club, the shack in back of the Ad building has at last been awarded its title. “Quartz hall” was found to be by far the most ef fective and appropriate title, and much more dignified than “Rock hall,” which vied for honors in the balloting. Voting from the floor seemed unsuc cessful at the last meeting of the Con don club, when the name was voted up on, due to unusually lusty voices on the opposing side, so no decision was made. Later at a meeting of the semi nar students, superior minds decided that the “ayes” had it. So now the shack will no longer be without a name, and intentions of rais ing an imposing sign bearing the words “Quartz Hall,” have been declared. Some weary and unfortunate studes, however, threaten to ignore the sign and dub the structure “the rock-crush er” or “the smelter.” However, in the University directory and in the minds of the upholders of the nomenclature “Quartz hall” re mains, and will house the geology stu dents and be the scene of many fu ture meetings of the Condon club. PENTATHELON HELD FRIDAY The do-nut physical ability penta thlon which will be held Friday night in the men’s gymnasium should appeal to all students on the campus, both men and women who are interested in athletics, says Gerald Barnes of the physical education department. Spec tators are invited. There will be no admission charged. The events will be called at 8 o’clock, but the entrants are asked to report on the indoor golf course at 7:45 so that they may be checked up with the score-keeper. SHELL COLLECTION GIVEN TO UNIVERSITY Many Varied Specimens Gathered by Mrs. Martha Chambers to Be TJsed in Geology Department An interesting set of shells, corals, fos 'sil8 and mineral materials, has recently been donated to the University by Mrs. Martha Chambers of Eugene and will be added to the collections in the geool ogy department. There are several hun dred shell speciments of every shape and size in the collections, several pieces of coral, and some pieces of the more com monly seen copper ore and lead. Shimmering abalone, slim spirals of white fusus shells, shining henna-toned “helmet” shells, brittle coral, the pink Spondy us and glistening pearl oysters are in the varied and beautiful collec tion. There are also speciments of petri fied wood, sponge corals, dried sea weed, sea urchins and star fish. One of the interesting specimens is a curiously formed Byozoan, a primitive minute or ganism, which looks like a miniature por cupine with bristling points on its shin ing surface. The shells were collected over a period of many years from many corners of the South Sea islands and the Philippines. Mrs. Chambers did not collect all of them personally, but secured a great majority of them from curio dealers and 'from sailors coming into the coast ports 'from the Orient. She found some of the shells along the California coast during her travels there. The shells will be used to prepare class study sets in conchology, the study of shells, as well as the basis for inves tigative work in the department. LUNCH CLUB AT Y. M. Girls Who Live Far From Campus to Take Noon Meal at Bungalow Every noon between twelve and one, the bungalow is the scene of a jolly party around the fire-place. This is the daily meeting of the “Lunch club.” The club consists of girls who live too far from the campus and who prefer to eat their lunches nearby. There are twenty charter members of this club. A few others have recently been voted in. The girls have arranged among them selves concerning the preparations for the lunch. Every day two members prepare some hot dish or chocolate. The girls supply the rest of their lunch eon. The scarcity of kitchen utensils at the bungalow hinders more prepa rations. Each deposits a small sum of money and then check off the amount which they ate during the meal. They also agreed to wash their own dishes. The officers of the Lunch club are: Bertha Atkinson, president; Verneta Morrison, vice-president; and Josephine Goetchell, secretary-treasurer. REDDIE IS BESTING Fergus Beddie, head of the depart ment of drama and the speech arts, has gone to his ranch near Gold Hill, Oreg., to rest. Professor Beddie has been overworked in his department this fall because of the numerous plays and heavy class enrollment. A breakdown seemed imminent so he is for the pre sent resting. He may spend Christmas in California, but plans to return for the winter semester. Bead the Classified Ad column. TODAY, LAST TIMES!

Sehenck, graduate assistant in the department of geology, in connection with his work toward a master’s de gree. Mr. Schenek has been working on ths project for the past seven years and has been doing particularly extensive work during the last two years, in which he has been assisted by Paul Cook, a senior student in the geology department. The territory under survey includes all the land from a point two miles north of Junction City, three miles south of Eugene, one mile east of Springfield and to within a half mile of Goshen. It reaches to the edge of the Coburg hills on the east and does not quite touch the Coyote Creek on the west. The principal problem which is be ing worked out is the determining of the age of the sandstone beds found in the quadrangle. This “ Mioeene-Oli gocene controversy of Oregon,” as the problem is called, has been under con sideration among geologists since the early part of the last century when James D. Dana, geologist of th*e United States exploring expedition under Char les Wilkes, in 1849, stated that he had found Tertiary formations in the val leys of the Willamette and Columbia rivers. The survey includes a study of the economic value of the soil, its culture, vegetation and generai features, as well as an intensive report on the geologi cal materials found in the territory for the various ages of geological forma tion. Mr. Schenck entered the University in 1916. He spent some time in the Philippines with Dr. Warren D. Smith, doing work for the United States Bu reau of Mines. He was graduated with the class of 1922 and is at present work ing for Ins master’s degree.
