OREGON FACULTY TAKES INSURANCE Association Sells $50,000 “in Policies on Campus CARNEGIE CREATES PLAN Organization Protects Many Instructors During t,lie lust year instructors in. the University of Oregon have taken out over $50,000 in annuities and life insurance in the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America, says Professor E. E. DcCou, who has been largely in strumental in promoting the plan on the campus. This organization is an outgrowth of the Carnegie foundation for the advancement of teaching, establish ed to provide pensions for a pro fession considered by Carnegie as inadequately paid and therefore un able to lay by funds for old age. » A sum of $10,000,000 was first set aside to be used as a permanent fund, the interest alone to be used for retiring allowances. University Included To this was added $5,000,000, making a total of $15,000,000. A list of standardized institutions was formed by a group of professors, including the University of Oregon, but before a call was made from this institution the funds had been exhausted. Howover, a special pen sion was granted to Professor B. J. Hawthorne, who retired about ten years ago. Professor Hawthorne, who is now 86 years of ago, is still a resident of Eugeno and is still a beneficiary under this plan. Because of the rapid growth of higher learning in America the foundation was changed to an in surance and annuity association in 1918. Under this plan practically all forms of insurance are available at cost, which, according to Pro fessor Bo Cou, is about one-fourth less than similar policies with out side companies. Rapid Growth Shown Although but five years old the organization has increased almost 50 per cent in membership each year since its beginning, and ac cording to the report of 19112, had 1,669 policy holders, with a total amount of $8,641,451 insurance. Local policy holders have re ceived dividends on their policies, a feature not included in the orig inal plan, but which was found feasible as a surplus of funds ac crued. Annuity holders were also paid one per cent higher interest "classified ads" Minimum charge, 1 time. 26c; 2 time*. 46c ; S time*. 80c ; 1 week, $1.20.

FRESHMEN WRESTLERS TRAIN WITH VARSITY Widmer Will Select First Team in Few Days In hopes that a wrestling meet will be arranged with Corvallis high on February 1 or 2, Coach Wid mer has been working his “Babes” against the varsity grapplers. By putting the frosh wrestlers with the “old heads,” he believes they will gain more experience and knowl edge. Widmer has a shortage of ma teriaj in the 125 pound weight. The best looking prospect in this divi sion is Fukuda. Wingard and Woods are battling to see who will cop o the 135 pound job. Both have shown signs of improvement since starting to work on the mat. Pete Laurs and Allen Christen son arc showing their “stuff” in the welterweight class. Christenson is being bothered with a cauli flower ear, but will soon round into shape. Leavitt, Owsley and Rob berson are all giving the varsity men real tussles, coming along in best order. Belshaw is Widmer’s only man in the 175 pound class. Although a new man at the wrest ling game he is showing signs of ability. In some of the freshman moots two men may be used at either the 125, 135, 145 or 158 pound weights. This may be done because of the lack of men in the lightweight divi sions. It is probable that a meet will be arranged for the yearling squad with the O. A. C. Books and Franklin high of Portland, in the near future. As tho match with O. A. C. is drawing near, Coach Widmer states that he will pick his varsity team either the latter part of this week or the early part of next week. “If there are any dark horses in school who expect to land a place on the team, now is the timo to go out,” said Widmor, in speaking of now men. The team will prob ably be selected by elimination of the men of tho different weights.

HISTORY OF OREGON PORTRAYED IN PAGEANT _ Esther Nelson, Teacher at Freewater High School, Pictures State Development A story of the development of i Oregon, covering the period fromj the time it was Indian country to the time of admission to the union, is portrayed in “A Pageant of Ore gon History,” written by Esther Marion Nelson, a teacher of history in the Freewater high school, at Freewater, Oregon. Miss Nelson sent a copy of the pageant to the University extension division from which she has been taking a correspondence course in Oregon history. Miss Nelson re ceived her inspiration to write the history from her correspondence course and teaching experience, said Dr. Dan E. Clark, of the extension division, as she felt the need of making state history more vivid for pupils and thought the best way Going Into Business?
