RADIO
By Edward Bobbins
Because of the recent develop
ments in radio around the campus
the Emerald finds it advisble to
devote a few of its column inches
to the new science at least once a
week. It will be recalled that it
was just about a year ago when
the University first began its radio
activities. It was at that time the
first of the weekly broadcasts was
begun from station K G W of the
Portland Morning Oregonian.
These weekly broadcasts have
been given regularly ever since.
Last fall something' new in the
radio world was started when Pro
fessor A. L. Lomax of the foreign
trade department of the school of
commerce began his series of twelve
lectures on “Oregon Resources.”
Professor Lomax’s course has
proven f|uite popular, according to
Alfred Powers, in charge of radio
activities on the campus for the
extension division. Distinct i|n
terest was represented in this
course by the fact that more than
a hundred auditor’s certificates for
the course were issued. There were
students of “Oregon’s Resources”
as far east as Wisconsin and Miclii
gan, said Alfred Powers.
Direct appreciation of the course
was expressed try thousands, said
Powers. “We believe that the aim
to educate the people of the con
tinent of the wonderful natural re
sources and opportunities of the
state has been accomplished. In
fact so- successful has the course
been that wo are going to continue
it through the coming season.”
General Manager W, D. B. Ilod
son, of the Portland chamber of'
commerce, will give the first two
lectures on “Oregon Resources” in
January. He will continue where
Professor A. L. Lomax left off. Sec
retary A. S. Dudley of the state
chamber will give the last two lec
tures on tjie same course for this
month. The whole course is being
broadcast, from station K O W of
the Portland Morning Oregonian.

Thursday, January .‘11, fhe Uni
versity will broadcast a special
program when at 8 p.m. on that
date Professor A. F. Rcddio of the
department of drama and speech
arts will broadcast “Hack Finn.”
Many high schools of the state
desiring to put in radio receiving
sets have been writing in to the
extens'on division inquiring about
the ed_ ttjon.nl advantages of radio
broadcasting, according to a state
ments given out by Alfred Powers.
Principal F. F. Cooper of the high
school at Arago, Coos county, is one
of the recent inquirers on this sub
ject. This is a good indication,
says Powers, that the elementary
and secondary schools of the state
are beginning to take an interest in
the new science.

National recognition of tin" Uni
versify’s radio work was recently
indicated by the Popular Mechanics
when they asked Alfred Powers to
write an article for them on Pro
fessor A. L. Lomax’s course on!
“Oregon Resources,” and how it is
being received by the people ol the
state at large. Still another recog j
nit ion of the work was made when
the New Year's Oregonian published
several of the best of Professor,
Lomax’s lectures.

One of the signs though small

growing appearance of fur coats ami

selves, particularly in the warmth
they provide in cases of weather
like the present. Cars are also very
useful for quick transportation, et
cetera. All this is primary and de
ceiving in its simplicity. But fur
coats and automobiles in the abso
lute control of college “kids” will
produce a bad snobocracy. College
i “men and women” realize the utter
j unnecessity of such accoutrements to
a college career. At least to attend
I classes for earnest study a cloth coat
j is just efficient and less flamboyant.
This argument may be also applied
j to cars, but is aside from the point.
One of the characteristics of true
nobility and aristocracy is that it
does not flaunt in the faces of oth
ers, things which they cannot have.
