Newspaper Page Text‘DOUGHBOY’ TO BE MADE FOB CHOI Audience to See Fairbanks Model Small Replica RELIEF PANELS PLACED ‘Heat’ and ‘Power’ Set at University Plant A replica of tlie “Doughboy,” a statue modeled by Avard Fair banks, professor of sculpture, on a commission for the state of Idaho, ij to be sculptured at the modeling demonstration next Wednesday evening at 8 o’clock in Villard hall. The demonstration will be under the auspices of the Sculpture club, and in the interest of bringing to Oregon, W. Frank Purdy, director of the American School of Sculp ture in New York, and prominent ly connected with the National As sociation of American Sculptors. The small model of the “Dough boy” will be half life size, or about three feet tall. Mr. Fair banks reached the decision to make the statue of the soldier the ex ample of how a work of art is produced because of the interest manifested since it was first announced that he would give a public demonstration. Members of the American Legion have in dividually requested, in some cases, that this lie the statuo used, and as an organization, is asking its members to attend. The complete process of modeling will be shown, beginning with the first armature. The relief panels, “Heat” and “Power,” which were modeled by Mr. Fairbanks for the front of the new University power plant, were swung into position yesterday. They were cast in cement, and have boon over two weeks in the hardening process. In effect they resemble the doe orations familiar on Aztec ruins although tho virility is distinctly in the American manner. Tho blocky treatment of tho letters resemble hieroglyphics. Tho nuts for tho screws were east in the cement, and the bolts them selves were screwed through from the inside of the wall. Four men working with a pulley got the panels into position, while the artist him self, on a scaffolding, aBsistod in the work. Part of tho scaffolding came very nearly letting Mr. Fairbanks down to earth, but his prosence of mind made him step to another board in time.

RADIO IS INSTALLED AT ROBBINS' RESIDENCE Antenna Two Hundred Feet Long ; Runs From Room to Gym; Set Has Amplifier The aireola senior peanut tube radio receiving set of Edward Hob bins was installed yesterday at his plaee of residence on 1247 Univer sity street. The two hundred foot antenna runs from his room to the Men’s gym and then to the outdoor gym. It is up clear of all inter ference and indications point to good reception. The set is equipped with a two step amplifier which gives a loud er signal to the set. Big stations like the Portland Morning Oregonian, station K G W, will come in loud enough to be heard easily all over * 1 I tlie room from the common hook I UP . The set is of the radio frequeney | type, the kind which is so famous '"as a static r„emover. “Despite the recent kicks raised* about tlte radio i frequency sets -emitting ^ waves,” ! said. "Robbins, “those sets are, after ['all, the best as static removers. It I is possible to take out the crack ling and bad noises because of the finesse with which the tickler en ables the set to be tuned.” • ALUM AND FACULTY LUNCHEON SPEAKERS E. R. Moon, ’03, Relates Work in the Congo University of Oregon alumni and faculty figured largely in the pro gram given at the weekly luncheon of tho Eugene chamber of commerce yesterday noon. The address of the day was made by E. E. Moon, Ore gon, ’03, returned missionary from tho Congo. Mrs. Mary Watson Barnes, professor of English litera ture, directed the business men’s at tention to the coming series of Stuart Walker plays, and Avard Fairbanks, professor sculpture, made the weekly report for the membership committee. Mr. Moon, who explained that preaching was one of the least of his duties in equatorial Africa, took his hearers back to the time, fifteen years ago, when he went into the heart of tho Congo among a naked people who had learned none of the arts of civilization, teaching them not only to wear but to make cloth ing; not only to live in houses but to build them, making tho brick them selves. Mr. Moon’s mission started the first store in a radius of hundreds of miles in equtorial Africa. Twelve years ago a little steamor was donat ed by Oregon people to the Congo mission and sent there in knoeked down form. The boat was put to gether by Mr. Moon, who was with out mechanical training, he explained, and by natives who had never seen a steamboat—the same boys who, a short time before, had carried a wheelbarrow on their shoulders, hav ing no idea of tho use of the wheel. Questioned regarding whether these Bantu natives are “trustworthy,” tho missionary roplied, “just like other peoplo. Tho principal trouble with these natives is, that they’re so human.” WORK ON YEAR BOOK IS NEAR COMPLETION February 1 Set as Deadline for Oregana; Cover Design Here for Approval With the material for sixtoon sections of the Oregana nearly completed, indications are that the work will be well in by February 1, which has been set as tho dead line. Hoads of the various divi sions are busy assembling and or ganizing their copy, and pictures and written material aro being sent to the printers and engravers right along. Such departments as ath letics and dramatics, must of a necessity bo held until the last moment, in order to include all that is possible. The cover design has come from the east, for approval as to color, but tho details and description will not be given out until later.
