OREGON SELECTED FOR NEXT DEBATE SESSION C. D. Thorpe Returns From California Conference The University of Oregon was sel ected. as the next meeting place for the j Pacific Coast Forensic League, which j was organized by a group of public speaking instructors and forensic mana gers who held a conference at the Uni versity of California March 24 and 25. Prof. C. D. Thorpe, debate coach and instructor in the public speaking de partment at the University, was the Oregon representative. The conference was called for the purpose of discussing ways and means of promoting interest in public speak ing, and if possible to put debate on a better footing among the colleges and j universities of the Pacific coast. One ; of the most important and interesting, things about the conference, according to Mr. Thorpe, was the spirit of friend liness and cooperation which the insti tutions showed towards doing away! with rivalry in debate. The idea of j working more for the general interest j in forensic work, rather than for the championship, was discussed. A new plan which will be voted upon by the! institutions individually, was brought! up regarding the system to be used at the inter-collegiate debates. The plan is to do away with the three-judge sys tem, and have the audience act as the judge. The University of California has used this plan and found it suc cessful. The conference is to supervise all de bates carried on by members of the league, and at its meeting each year will conduct an extemporaneous speaking contest. It will also conduct an oratorical contest. Professsor Thorpe praised highly the hospitality given the rep resentatives by the University of Cal ifornia at the conference. The eleven institutions which are charter members of the league and which were represented at the con ference are, University of California, University of Washington, University of Oregon, University of Southern Cal ifornia, Oregon Agricultural college, Washington State coliege, Stanford university, Reed college. Whitman col lege, University of Idaho and Univer sity of British Columbia, Canada.

CAMPUS DULL DURING SPRING HOLIDAY PERIOD (Continued from page one.) Non-journalistic students showed sud den interest in the art of printing, and all ujeek hung arond the linotype operators at the University press', who were setting up the sheet. About the only thing that did happen in Eugene during the week was—rain. Oregon is a different Oregon than it was last term.1 The trees are leafing, and the shrubbery blossoming and most of it happened during spring vacation. But the men on the grounds tell the admiring frosh to wait- till the rho dodendrons bloom. CARDS MUST BE IN TODAY Late Filing Fee of One Dollar Will Be Charged After Three P. M. Some students on the campus are confused as to the time for filing of their pink and yellow cards in the Reg istrar’s office. The cards must be in before 3 o’clock today. Tomorrowta fine of one dollar will be imposed for late registration and -after tomorrow 25 cents a day will be charged. These cards must be in so that the business office can check them over in preparation for the payment of laboratory fees which can be paid from April 23 to May 7. It is reported from Mr. Spencer’s office that some students have been waiting to turn in their study cardB at the time that they pay lab fees. This is wrong. Turn in study cards at once. Get the Clueified Ad habit. Grace Edgington Is Dean Fox’s Successor When Dean Fox-DeCou leaves the old familiar office in the Ad building taking the thumb tacks out of the signs on the door, it is with memories of many Oregon girls who called for a long or short chat, of friendships and duties and discouragements and good ' times. When Grace Edgington enters, I stopping to tack a new sign on the fa ! miliar door, it is with mixed feeling I of responsibility and adventure — a I feeling of finding an overwhelmingly ■ large pair of shoes to step into and : only the audience knowing that they ' will be well filled. ! In the years that Dean Fox has lived j in the little office many girls have I come to regard her as their personal friend.

THE ANCHORAGE RACEWAY i i B. T iS <* VOLTA EXPLAINING HIS i BATTEKY TO NAPOLEON — ❖ 14 How Electrical Engineering began T IS not enough to ex periment and to observe in scientific research. There must also be in terpretation. Take the cases of Galvani and Volta. Oneday in i786Galvani touched with his metal instruments the nerves of a frog’s amputated hind legs. The legs twitched in a very life-like way. Even when the frog’s legs were hung from an iron railing by copper hooks, the phe nomenon persisted. Galvani knew that he was dealing with electricity but concluded that the frog’s legs had in some way gen erated the current. Then came Volta, a contempo rary, who said in effect: “Your in terpretation is wrong. Two differ ent metals in contact with a moist nerve set up currents of electricity. I will prove it without the aid of frog’s legs.” Volta piled disks of different metals one on top of another and separated the disks with moist pieces of cloth. Thus he gene-* rated a steady current. This was the “ Voltaic pile”—the first bat tery, the first generator of electricity. Both Galvani and Volta were careful experimenters, but Volta's correct interpretation of effects gave us electrical engineering. Napoleon was the outstanding figure in the days of Galvani and Volta. He too possessed an active interest in science but only as an aid to Napoleon.He little imagined on examiningVoIta’s crude battery that its effect on later civilization would be fully as profound as that of his own dynamic personality. The effects of the work of Gal vani and Volta may be traced through a hundred years of elec trical development even to the latent discoveries maae in the Re search Laboratories of the Gen eral Electric Company.
