SCIENTISTS HOLD
ANNUAL MEETING
Mathematicians to Have
Next Assembly Here
CHANGE IN NAME ASKED
Oregon is Represented by
Four of Faculty
Of interest to University mathe
maticians should be the announce
ment that the annual meeting of the
Ban J* rancisco section of the Ameri
can Mathematical society, will be
held for the first time at the Uni
versity of Oregon this year. During
the holidays Professor E. E. DcCou,
L. L. Smail and W. E. Milne of the
department of mathematics at Ore
gon, accompanied by Professor E.
II. McAllister of the department of
mechanics and astronomy, attended
the meeting of mathematicians held
at the University of Washington
in Seattle, at which time Professor
DeCou extended the invitation on
behalf of the University of Oregon,
which was unanimously accepted.
“It was an excellent meeting,”
says Pfofessor DeCou. “Many new
ideas were brought up and many old
ones discussed and commented on.”
Among other things, a motion was
proposed by Professor DeCou, ask
ing the national officers of the or
ganization, to have the name of this
section changed from “Ban Fran
cisco Section” to “Pacific Coast
Section.” The old name was given
the section at a time when the
Western coast was represented in
tho conference only by University
of California and Stanford. Later
the University of Washington, Uni
versity of British Columbia and Uni
versity of Oregon wore added, and
it was thought that the new name
would bo more fitting.
A committee consisting of Pro
fessor DeCou, Professor Daniel Bu
chanan, head of the mathematics de
partment of tho University of Bri
tish Columbia, and Dr. Smail of
Oregon, will take up the matter at
once with tho national officers and
hope to have a decision made by
next spring.
Tho evening following tho moot
ing was spent at tho homo of Pro
fessor Roy M. Winger, in Seattle.
Professor Winger was for several
years associate professor of mathe
matics at tho University of Oregon
and was succeeded by Prof. Milne.
Dr. and Mrs. L. L. Smail, who
formerly lived in Seattle, oxtonded
their visit there in order to join
the party of “Mountaineers,” who
were making their annual Christmas
climb of Mt. Rainier. They re
turned to Eugene on Monday.

MANY NEW HOUSES TO
BE OGGUPIED IN SPRING
Two Homes Now Going Up;
Four More to Efuild
—
I
They say the birds always start
I building in the spring, but the
sororities and fraternities are ahead
of their feathery neighbors. Two
of the new houses will be occupied
| during the spring term and next
; fall a large crop of new homes will
be in working order. The Sigma
Mu house is making rapid strides
towards its completion. Workmen
are putting window casings in now
i and are putting on many inside
(finishing touches. The Sigma Nus
expect to move in the first of the
spring term. The house, which is
of a colonial type, is situated on
Eleventh street between Alder and
Hilyard.
The Alpha Phi house expects its
, occupants about May first. It is to
be on the old English style and
i will be of stucco and clapboards.
! The frame work of the third floor
i is being made now. The house faces
Hilyard at Eleventh.
Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kap
pa Gamma, Phi Gamma Delta and
Gamma Phi Beta have all bought
lots and are making plans for their
new homes. The Theta house will
face 14th street at Alder and will
probably be occupied next fall. The
Fiji house will be a two-story
stucco house and will also be oecu
i pied at that time, when the Phi
Sigma Pi’s will move into the pres
ent Fiji house on Twelfth street.
The new house is to be on Nine
teenth and Emerald. The Kappa’s
have bought a lot on Fifteenth and
Alder. Their house plans have not
been made but they hope to start
building next fall.
Alpha Xi Delta has bought the
present Gamma Phi Beta house and
they expect to move in next fall.
Lester G. Hulin, former owner of
the house, made the sale. The
Gamma Phis have bought a lot by
the mill-race on Hilyard and hope
to start building next August. It
will not be finished by the next
fall'term and the plans for housing
thp girts until they can oedupy
their new home are not completed.
Several houses for this purpose are
under consideration.
Work on the Beta Theta Pi house
is completed. Several other organi
zations are buying lots in prepara
tion for future building.
SECOND ORCHESTRA TO
REHEARSE WEDNESDAY
More Wind Instruments Wanted by
Director; Organization
Limited to Twenty
The Second Orchestra will have
its first regular meeting of this
term next Wednesday at 4:30 p. m.
in Villard hall. The time of the
rehearsals heretofore has been at
4:45 p. m., and because of this
change, Mr. Walstrum, the director,
j requests that all members take no
1 tic 1 report at the new hour.
Second Orchestra has to be
! Tun to twenty members, and on
| account of this, thirty names have
been chosen of students most suit
able for orchestral work, and the
director will immediately begin to
choose the twenty permanent mem
bers of the orchestra.
At the rehearsal on Wednesday,
roll call will be taken to include
those who will want to be con
sidered regular members. Mr. Wal
strum says that any who do not ap
pear it is quite doubtful whether
they will be eligible for member
ship, because of the limited number
in the orchestra. The director is
extremely anxious for the turnout
of more brass and good wind instru
ments.
Sometime during this term, the
orchestra will play in assembly. En
tirely new work is being taken up,
and it is proving much more inter
esting than the earlier work.
