GEOLOGISTS CO Oil FED THIP E. T. Hodge to Head Group of Ten Students TOUR WILL LAST WEEK Hydro-electric Projects to be Studied Hydro-electric projects and plants and important bridge and dam construction in the western and northern parts of the state will be studied by 10 advanced geology students of the University of Ore gon, who will leave for a week’s field trip Friday. The undergradu ates, headed by Dr. Edwin T. Hodge, professor of economic geol ogy, will study the practical appli cations of their course in applied geology, observing how preliminary construction in many important en gineering works depends upon a knowledge of the geology of the area. Many Stops Planned The itinerary of the party in cludes territory between Eugene and Portland. Sites of the proposed Harrisburg bridge and of the new bridge at Oregon City will be studied. A cement plant at Oswe go will be inspected. Hydro-electric developments at Albany, Oregon City, Oak Grove, and along the Clackamas and Columbia rivers will occupy part of the time of the students. Other studies will be made of the following: the dredging operations on the Willamette and the lower Columbia rivers; jetties at Warren ton, Astoria and Portland; the geological formation at the proposed big hydro-electric plant at Cas cade Locks. The method used by the Oregon Short Line to prevent rock slides along its right-of-way will be studied also. Leader Is Experienced Dr. Hodge, who will conduct the trip, has had a large amount of experience as a consulting geologist. He was one of a number of sci entists engaged in the construction of the Catskill aqueduct in New York. He has served in a con sultative capacity for a number of railroads. # The course in applied geology, the first to be offered in a Pacific coast collegiate institution, is de signed to help train prospective geologists for work in advisory re lationship with construction and civil engineers. -- Group Will Camp Out “Since the development of Ore gon will depend largely upon the success of its drainage projects and irrigation systems, the reclamation of waste lands and the discovery and application of water-power, it is necessary that we train those who may later specialize in these im portant problems,” said Dr. Hodge. Professor and students will camp out and cook their own meals on the trip.

From Vanda Both Coffey Allen, ’05, who is in Wiseman, Alaska, comes news of prospects for college men and women as teachers, engi neers, guides and gold prospectors. Undeveloped coal fields, reindeer business in its infancy, summer tourist travel, farming, all offer positions to men. Mrs. Allen tells of her own experiences teaching half-breeds and Eskimo children. Part of Mrs. Allen’s letter will appear in the next “Old Oregon,” telling with more detail of work there. In closing she said, “There are people for whom coming to Alaska is equivalent to finding themselves—people who are natur ally pioneers and prefer the free and democratic life of a pioneer country.” Another letter comes from Mary Gillies Schmidt, who is living in Nanchang, province of Kiangsi, China. Mr. Schmidt is connected with the Y. M. C. A. The letter tells of the odd customs of the Chinese, their modes of travel, the numerous bandits in the interior country, and the Chinese banquets. She says, in reference to the ban quets, “We were seated at a little table of honor between the two long guest tables. There were after-dinner speeches quite like home, except the interpreters for both Chinese and foreigners. I have been to several Chinese feasts and am getting quite adept at eating hundred year old eggs, sea slugs, shark fins, etc., etc.” Mrs. Schmidt speaks of China as “the land the grips and holds— that interests and baffles beyond belief! ” Hams, Hilda Jones, Leora Connarn, Lois LaRoehe, Genevieve Morgan, Vesta Scholl, Nellie Best, Mar garet Pappon, Ellean Fargher. Tliose who made the second team are, Elizabeth Ward, Genevieve Spear, Kathryn Schnell, Helen Mary Pollack, Gertrude Keber, Arlene Butler, Frances Dodds, Anne Springer, Edna Spanker, Mary Mc Kinnon. Substitutes are Katherine Ulrich and Myrtle West. Practice for both teams will be held Wednesday at 5 o’clock. All girls are urged to be present at all practices. W. T.
