CITY COUNCIL TAKES. 1
ACTION ON CAMPAIGN
Eugene People to Vote on
$500,000 Bond Issue
At a special meeting. Thursday
evening, the city council of Eu
gene passed a resolution to call a
special election July 2 to present
to the people a bond issue for
$500,000 to build an auditorium for
the University of Oregon. The
petition calling for such action
was presented by a committee of
the city’s .leading business men,
headed by Frank L. Chambers, Eu
gene chairman of the Gift Cam
paign. The committee decided that
Eugene could bear its part in the
$5,000,000 Gift Campaign through
-a bond issue which would place
the amount equitably on all the
citizens and would permit those
able to make larger gifts to do so.
It is expected that the gifts of
alumni who live in Eugjene arfd
other Eugene citizens will bring
the total contribution for Lane
county to a much greater figure
than $500,000.
The Auditorium, which is to be
presented to the University by the
people of Eugeno, will be large
enough to care for the needs of the
University for many years to come.
It will occupy the central place
in the new building scheme, direct
ly behind the War Memorial
Court. It is one of the buildings
most urgently needed by the Uni
versity, as there is now no place
on the campus where all the stu
dents and faculty can gather to
gether.
TRANSIT OF MERCURY
SCHEDULED FOR MAY 7
Two Heavenly Bodies to be
Seen from Campus
‘ ‘ The month of May is not to be
a quiet one in the astronomical
world, ’ ’ said Prof. E. H. McAlister;
head of* the Uuiversity astronomy
department. “There are two heaven
ly events of importance during the.
month which will be visible from the
campus. On May 7 the planet Mer
cury will make a transit; while on
the 24th Venus will be at its max
imum brightness,” he said.
“The transit of Mercury means
that the planet will be between the i
earth and the sun; seeming to cross j
the sun’s disk. Of course it rotates
around the sun, but at that time it
will be between us and the center of

the solar system. The sun is os
bright and Mercury so small, that
it will be necessary to have proper
astronomical equipment to see the
transit,” said McAlister.
Indicating an interesting point,
McAlister said that it is a relation
ship between the transit of Mercury
and Venus, and a transit of Mercury
and the sun, that the astronomer is
able to tell the distance from the
earth to the sun. There are other
methods, of course, to tell this dis
tance.
Venus is the bright evening star ap
pearing in the western sky. It will ap
pear brighter and brighter until May
24, then it will turn and go the other
way. The chief cause of this bright
ness is that, the bright side is turned
toward the earth at this time.
‘‘On hazeless days Venus will be
visible in the daytime,” said Profes
sor McAlister. “But on hazy days
it can be seen only with the aid of a
telescone.'
Students Warned to Keep
Their Canoes Locked
Three Boats Stolen Within Past
Week; New ‘Gang’ Suspected
“Keep your canoes locked,” is i
the advice given by Day Bailey,
manager of the boat house at the
Anchorage, to canoe owners. Within
the past week, three canoes have
been stolen, and only one of them
has been found.
The first theft occurred at the
Winchester bridge dedication, Sun
day. The canoe was left on the
bank. It was stolen and sold to
a University student, who brought
it down to the Anchorage. The
owner called at the boat house
Wednesday and identified it, al
though it had been repainted.
The ^econd canoe to be missed
was a gray Old Town. It was
owned by Mason Dillard. Dillard
had left it on the Delta Tau Delta
lawn, by the mill race, unlocked.
No trace has been found of it, al
though searches have been made.
Another canoe, owned by Ken
neth Moore, who also kept his
canoe on the lawn, is missing. The
lock had been broken. Moore lives
near the Bachelordon house, and
owing to the fact that two canoes
have been stolen from the race,
around Alder and Patterson
streets, Bailey expressed the belief
that it is not the same group of
boys who molested canoes last
year. The other bunch operated
around the Portage.
It will be easier to trace the
work of this new “gang,” said Mr.
Bailey, because they will not have
so many good hiding places as
the old bunch had.
A short time ago, a canoe was
“borrowed” from a picnic party,
at the head of the millrace, but as
it was set adrift and floated down
to the Anchorage, it is not believ
ed to be the work of the same boys.
UNDERGRADUATES TAKE
AN INTELLIGENCE TEST
Stanford University—(By P. I. N.
S.)—As an additional means of
selecting the most promising appli
cants for admission to Stanford in
the undergraduate group whidh jis
strictly limited in numbers, Stanford
has established an intelligence test,
which all candidates for undergradu
ate standing must undergo after they
have successfully passed all other
tests for admission.
The university will give the exami
nation in numerous centers in Cali
fornia and outside the state in June
of each year, and it will also be
given at the university in October,
January and April.

Mr. Ray of California Has
Success With Methods
A visitor at the University dispen

traveling for the Broemmel labora
tories of California demonstrating
poison oak remedies. Mr. Ray has re
ported on 17,000 cases of poison oak
treated by these remedies, most of
which he says are successful, accord
ing to Dr, W. K. Livingston, head
of the University health service.
The University has been using these
remedies for some time, Dr. Living
ston said, and on the whole has found
them very successful. There are two
kinds of treatments, an alcoholic ex

Dr. Livingston reports an interest

at the University of California dur
ing his recent visit here. A doctor
in the health service there says an
assistant in one of the laboratories,
who happened to have poison oak,
was carrying some liquid air to an
other laboratory. He rubbed a little
of the liquid air on his poison oak.
It burned slightly, he said, and left
a little red mark for a while, but
the next day the poison oak was gone.
The health service has used it in sev
erhl cases since then and they report
a successful cure in every ease.

UNITARIANISM AT WORK
An address by Carl B. Wetherell, Pacific Coast Secre
tary of Unitarian organizations at the First Christian
Church Sunday morning.
Liberalism or Modernism is at work in the Christian
church irrespective of denomination like a yeast. Uni
tarianism is the pioneering movement of Liberalism. It
has achieved a philosophy and a faith and has come to
an understanding of the spiritual values of this new ad
venture in religion.
Mr. Wetherell is a forceful speaker and is in posses
j sion of the facts relative to the particular things. Unitar
ianism is doing and trying to do in America, particularly
on the Pacific coast. We invite all University men and
women who are interested in a faith of freedom, which
uses and does not abuse Science, to hear his address.
The soloist at this service will be Betty Nelson.
The church building is located on East Eleventh Ave
nue at Ferry Street. Services begin at 10:45 A. M.
It is known as “The Little Church of the Human
Spirit.”
