POLITICAL GROUP ELECTS OFFICERS - T • - Art Rosebraugh is Head; | Five Others Named DEAN MAKES COMMENT Faculty Does Not Oppose Formation of Club The Republican society organized on the campus has recently elected an executive committee consisting of Arthur Hosebraugh, chairman; Geor gia Benson, secretary-treasurer; and Jason McCune, Georgiana Gerlinger,: Jack Day and Junior Seton. Five, or six sub committees will be an nounced later. John N. Hamlin, who is in charge \ of the college bureau of the Repub lican National committee, attended the University from 1915 to 1918, when he enlisted in the army. Ho majored in economics and was prom inent in the track squad. For the past four and a half' years he has been at Harvard. Interest to be Created The purpose of the organization, According to Mr. ITamlin, is to create a more active interest in public af- j fairs on the part of the students. |( Another feature of the club is that it is self-perpetuating and was organ-; ized on a permanent basis, under the authority of the college bureau of the Republican National committee. The executive committeo that has been appointed will cooperate with the Oregon State Republican commit tee as well as the national committee. The organization of students in the j interest of informing them on the important issues which arise has re ceived comment from the administra- j tion in the form of a statement is-1 sued by Colin Dyment, dean of the college of literature, science, and the arts yesterday. Dyment Gives Opinion Mr. Dyment said: “The political opinions of a stu dent are his personal affair, just as are his religious beliefs. There is accordingly no objection to the for mation of a private political club by students. This is a state university, however, and as such cannot mingle in either political or religious issues. Therefore a political club would bo prohibited from using the name of the University in any official wav, •and in any partisan political under taking would be expected to act as 'individuals and not to involve the University, since as stated the Uni versity itself is strictly non-pol itical. Tt might bo preferable, inas much as the University could not well discriminate among parties that political meetings be held in the “Y” nut, rather than in University build ings if the secretary will extend the courtesies.” OREGON KNIGHTS PLAN TO ASSIST AT GAMES Group to Handle All Varsity and Frosh Contests: Initiation Comes Thursday The Oregon Knights at the last mooting, hold Wednesday night,; made arrangements for handling all tlio varsity and freshmen basket-hall games.

ART BUILDING TO HAVE GARDEN ON SOUTH SiDE Plants to be Models for Sketches as Well as For Campus Beautification Among recent improvements on the campus is the garden which is being planted in the court between the two wings on the south side of the art building. Trees, shrubs, vines, bulbs, perrenial plants and growing things of all kinds' will be planted there eventually, partly for the benefit of art students and partly for beautifi cation. Already a white birch tree, some | azalias, pink, salmon and yellow, some golden glow, golden bell and a Camellia rose have been planted in addition to a boxwood hedge, pink almond and Japanese quince in the shrubbery class and wisteria in the climbing division. Tt is planned to plant several cy press trees, tulips, crocuses, dahlias, chrysanthemums, asters, delphinium, hollyhocks, snap-dragons, cosmos, bo ganvilla, rhododendrons, Oregon grape, holly, Virginia creeper, etc. In fact, H. M. Fisher, superintendent of buildings and grounds, is deter mined that the embryo artists, and even thoso in the more advanced stages, shall feel the lack of nothing when it comes to the selection of a living model for a sketch of some di vision of the flora adaptable to the climate of the Willamette valley. Flans do not, however, call for the planting of fruits and vegetables, the impracticability of such a plan having been recognized when the well known penchant, of artists on the road to success, that of munch ing any known available edible sub staneo, was considered. Tt would bn unsightly and inconvenient to have turnip plants and the cherry trees slyly demolished. 1 At the Theatres | ---- CASTLE Wliat is declared to bo the larg est string of pearls in existence is worn by Barbara La Marr in “The Eternal City,” a First National pic ture produced by George Fitz nmUrice, which is now playing at the Castle theater.

COMPLETES SMELTERS Phipps Constructs Pots Electrically Heated Troy Phipps, graduate assistant in the physics department, has com pleted two small electrically heated smelters. Each, weighing less t,nan a pound, attains i< temperature cf 1800 degrees Fahrenheit using the ordinary 110 volt A. C. light cir cuit. in a recent trial when lead *as m.’ted in one of the pots such a high temperature was reached that the enamel finish melted into the load. '•This shows that the-pots can reach a higher tempern.ture than was originally believed,” he said. The complete assembling of the parts was done by Phipps himself. The current passes through a Nicli rome wire which surrounds the pot and which develops the high resis tance required to obtain the heat. To retain the heat within the inte rior walls the pot is packed with magnesium. The wall of the furnace is an alundnm crucible. The chief feature about the pot is its smallness in size and weight, but yet it is able to produce such a high temperature. Weighing less than a pound, it is possible to hold either one in the hand very easily. “I don’t believe the average per son realizes the importance of the fact that only 119 volts are required to get such a high temperature,” said Phipps. “One usually thinks it is wonderful to get enough current to heat an electric iron, toaster, stove, and other utensils about the house requiring heat, but to imagine the appearance of enough heat to melt copper, zinc, brass, lead, and other metals is beyond average comprehension.” Mr. Phipps started his work on the construction of the two last fall when he began his wiring. The parts used in the assembling of the smelters were secured in the east. This is a branch of the research work which Phipps is doing for his graduate de gree.

C. This will be between tho Universities of Idaho and British Columbia. In the opinion of Mr. Kosson, Dickey and Malcolm should also put up good arguments. “They aro both willing to handle tho negative case on a foreign floor,” said Mr. Rosson, “and both should do very well, for they pos sess pleasing personalities, coupled with excellent ability to analyze and refute opposing arguments ef fectively. Both have had consider able experience as public speakers, and have builded a strong case in support of the negative.” The British Columbia debaters wore expected to arrive last night or this morning. Their names have not been sent in to Elam Amstutz, forensic manager. On account of the class parties, which are to take place tonight, the coaches and manager scheduled the debate for 7:15, so that it will be over by 8:45 or 9:00, and con scvpicutly will not interfere with the class affairs.
