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 * CLASSIFIED ADS" 45c; 8 times, 60c; 1 week, fl.20.

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.

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. The GROCETERIA The Home of Good Goods Two Phones, 1686, 257 48 Ninth Avenue East COMING!

Wetherell, Pacific Coast Secre tary of Unitarian organizations at the First Christian Church Sunday morning.

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.
