Columbia Has Possibilities of
Hydroelectric Power
OREGON FACES PROBLEMS
Drainage and Flood Prevention
to be Fully Explained
The state of Oregon must solve four
geologic problems if it is to increase
its industries, to provide for the future
development and to care for an in
crease in population is the statement
of Dr. Edwin T. Hodge, professor of
economic geology. The address will
be given before the Progressive Busi
ness Men’s club at Portland today
under the title “Geologic Problems
Which Oregon Must Solve.”
The problems deal with the drainage
of and prevention of floods; the de
velopment of hydroelectric power on
the Columbia river; making the harbor
of the Columbia navigable; and the
possibility of securing water in south
eastern Oregon.
In discussing the problem, Dr. Hodge
states that the present method of dig
ging ditches is expensive, and time
consuming, and guarantees no perman
ent relief. He suggests cutting off
meanders and shortening the course of
the river, a comparatively cheap means
of securing projection. The river will
then be made useful for the transpor
tation of logs and will permanently
solve the drainage and flood diffi
culties of the Willamette. Further
more at least 60 per cent of
the land not in use at present will be
made available for agriculture.
Power Equal to Niagra
The Columbia river has water to
generate power comparable to that of
the Niagra and can be made to furnish
power at a cost low enough to stimulate
industries along the lower Columbia
valley. One site, the Cascade Locks,
has been discussed as a possible lo
cation of a hydroelectric plant. The
rapids there are due to a landslide
which has interrupted the course of
the Columbia and has caused trouble
to the Union Pacific railroad. Unless
a geologic investigation of the sub
surface conditions is made, no success:
ful retaining dam can be constructed.
Dr. Hodge advises that a careful
study should be made with the view
of handling the currents of the Colum
bia river so that the sediment that is
deposited at its mouth will be carried
out to sea. Hindrance to navigation
and the financial burden of continous
dreging of the river will become in
tolerable with time. Geologist study
should be made of the river so as to
devise means whereby the river will
be forced to carry its sediment out
beyond the danger point.
Large Areas Need Water
The last problem deals with the one
fourth of the state that is dry and
almost barren because of lack of sur
face water. This area in southeastern
Oregon can be made into ideal agri
culture lands. In some places of this
district there is ground water that only
needs pumping to bring it to surface.
In other parts there is artesian water.
Geologic investigation will show where
the water definitely is and where it
can be brought to surface.
In conclusion, Dr. Hodge stated that
the solution of these problems is a
Portland problem because their solu
tion would bring wealth and prestige
to that city.
LARGE ENROLLMENT IN
CORRESPONDENCE WORK
Some of Best Work Done in Extension
Division Due to Older Students,
Declare Instructors
The correspondence school of the Uni
versity of Oregon extension division has
an increase in enrollment this year over
last, except in May and July when there
was a slight fall. At the close of Sep
tember, 306 courses had been com
pleted since the first of the year.
Four to six months is usually re
quired for completing an average course,
although a year is allowed. Education,
English, history, literature and mathe
matics are the most popular subjects.
Education heads the list, but English
runs a close second. Not more than
one course at a time is recommended,
but two may be taken.
Failure in the correspondence courses
are conspicuous by their absence. The
students are generally older and more
seriously inclined than the average col

lege man and woman, and they know the
value of time. Instructors who have
charge of the regular classes and of cor
respondence courses have found some
of their best work in the extension
division.
Those who take advantage of the cor
respondence school are usually people
'living in the country or in small towns,
where the educational facilities are
limited. A few choose to make up their
high school requirements; others seek
credits for graduation;# while some
never expecting to enter college, want
to have the college education.
Registration is continuous, and en
rollment may be at any time of the year.
A certificate of credit counting toward
graduation is granted with the com
pletion of each course. Earl Kilpatrick
is the director of the extension division
on this campus.
COMBINED OREGON CLUB
PUNS NO-DATE DANCE
President Urges More Men Out
For Do-nut Work
Fin^ plans for a dance, to be given
at the Anchorage on November 2, will
be made at the mass meeting of all
men living outside of organizations
Monday evening, at 7:30, in the Y hut.
This dance will be given by the men’s
and women’s Oregon clubs and will
be a “no-date” affair for all members
of the two clubs and those who are
eligable to become members.
“We expect to get every man in
the university who is not connected
with any living organization out to
this meeting next Monday evening,”
said Louis Carlson, president of the
men’s Oregon club, yesterday. “Our
campiagn for members during the past
two weeks has brought good results
but there are still a large number of
students who do not belong to the
club who would find it to their ad
vantage to join,” he went on to say.
Regarding the invitations to the
dance planned for November 2. Carl
son explained, “This will be a dance
strictly for those who live outside of
organizations and all persons who do
not belong to houses are urged to
come. This will be the last social
affair, however, which the Oregon
club will give that can be attended
by students who are not regular mem
bers.”
In order to meet expenses it is pro
posed to charge a small admission fee,
probably 25 cents.
All men interested in intramural ac
tivities are urged to affiliate them
selves with the Oregon club as there
are openings on practically all of the
do-nut teams. At least 10 men are
needed for the rifle team, which will
compete in the competitive shoot with
the living organizations during the
term. There are not enough men out
for the do-nut debate teams so far
and inasmuch as it is planned to have
the debate series over before Home
coming it is necessary for the teams to
get to work at once. Men are also
needed for cross-country.

Approved of hy W. M. Smith
W. M. Smith, of Salem, assistant
state school superintendent, was on the
campus recently visiting the school of
education and the University high
school. “I saw many splendid features
and am well pleased with the work,”
he declared after the visit.
Mr. Smith visits practically all high
schools in the state during the year
to see what progress is being made.
This was his first visit here this year
and was not strictly official as a more
thorough inspection is fo be made
later.

RADIO NO SNAP COURSE
DECLARES DR. BOYNTON
Only Eight Enroll in Electrical
Measurements Class
“Studying radio is no get-rich-quick
proposition,” Dr. Boynton, head of the
physics department, says, “it is a long
and painful study, requiring a great
deal of mathematics.
There is no advanced class in the study
of the radio at present, according to
Dr. Boynton, but there are a number
of students preparing to take advanced
work. The class in electrical measure
ments, which has in it eight students,
including one “courageous” girl, is
studying the fundamental theory of the
radio at present. Calculus and general
physics are requirements for this. work.
Next year Dr. Boynton hopes to have
a class made up of graduate students
and some seniors devoted to the more
advanced theories and practice of ra
dio. A five-year course is offered, and
several students are entering this year
with the ^ntention of taking the whole
course of study.
“This study leads to training for
which there is more demand than sup
ply,” Dr. Boynton said. Every year
there .is a demand for two or three
times as many graduates as he can sup
ply. There exists so many commercial
establishments which carry on scientific
research work, Dr. Boynton explained,
that graduates from his department are
^always needed.
The aim of the courses in electrical
measurements and radio, the head of
the department asserts, is to train peo
ple to do Intellectual research for these
bigger electrical concerns.
The laboratory in Deady hall contains
a rather complete apparatus. Dr. Boyn
ton said he thought it was safe to say
that in the last year and a half the
students have accumulated and made al
most fifty different kinds of radio con
nections there.
CAMPUS TO HAVE LOST
AND FOUND BUREAU AT Y
Student Council Appoints Committee
to Work Out Details of Flan; ,
New Members at Meeting
A campus lost and found bureau is
to be established at the campus Y. M.
C. A. under the direction of Mrs. Char
lotte Donnelly, hut mother, provided a
committee of the student council can
work out satisfactory details.
It was suggested at a meeting of the
council last night that lost articles be
dropped into campus mail containers
by janitors and others finding articles.
Attached to the article would be the
name of the finder and the place where
the article was picked up. The mail
carrier would leave his collection of
finds at the hut desk.
/The idea of a central bureau would
facilitate the location of articles with
out a complete search of the campus.
Things not called for within a given
length of time could be sold ■ by the
Y. M. C. A. and the funds used in
hut up-keep or could be returned to the
finder.
Articles could be left at the Y. hut
without the use of the campus mail,
. Oh, So Smart!
“And why?”
“You surely needn’t ask
that. ’ ’
“Oh, of course, I see now.
Her hat.”
“Yes, it came from Mrs.
Carter’s. Smart hats are
their specialty.
“But I have a dreadful
time finding a hat that
suits me.”
“Oh, that’s another of
their specialties, hats for
every type— and so rea
sonably priced. Really,
you should see them.”

of course, but that means of giving
rapid service was suggested.
The committee will report at the
next council meeting.
Clyde Zoolars, newly appointed mem
ber of the council, succeeding Milton
Brown, attended his first meeting as
did Lowell Baker, the new non-voting
member, who represents the freshman
class.
LATIN CLASSES PROVE
UNUSUALLY POPULAR
Ancient Language Required of Students
in New Norm Flan; Teachers
Are in Demand
Latin has been considered a dead lan
guage for many centuries and has not
been overly popular with students of
average mentalities. But it has emerged
from its semi-consicious state, and is
now one of the lively classes on the
campus. Classes that last year num
bered only five are now five times as
large this quarter. The first year
Caesar class has 26 enrolled, and Cicero
and Yirgil are unusually popular with
12 followers.
In explanation for this sudden in
crease Prof. F. S. Dunn says that in the
first place the new norm plan, adopted
by the school of education, requires Latin
of its students. There is also an in
creasing demand for Latin teachers in
the high schools throughout the state.
. Educational reformers who have been
trying to take Latin out of the schools
have realised it would mean destruction
to the romance languages and also harm
ful to English, said Mr. Dunn.

PARKER ANNOUNCES
A New One
for Students
barker D-Q—the Note-taker Pen, $3
Strong metal girdle reinforces cap
Large ring-end links to note-book
—A pocket-dip if you prefer —
No extra charge for either
WE asked about 1000 students at sev
enteen universities and colleges the
kind of pen they wanted.
The mzyority preferred the Parker, but
not all could afford to pay the Parker Duo
fold price.
So we set to work and produced this
black beauty—the Parker D. Q.—formed
on Duofold’s classic lines and made by the
same crafts-guild.
We gave it a 14k gold point tipped with
polished Iridium, and a good healthy ink
capacity; then we added two things we
could find on no other pen of this size be
low five dollars—a metal girdle to reinforce
the cap; and an extra large ring link to
fasten to the student’s note-book. These
features are included free, or a pocket-clip
instead of ring-end.
The Parker D. Q. is an ink-tight pen. Ask to see
it—note its shapeliness and balance. Try other pens
too, and see how super-smooth the Parker is in
comparison.
