GEOLOGISTS WILL AID
SOCIOLOGISTS IN WORK
Departments to Get Data for Mapping
Out Phases of Community Growth
The geology and sociology depart
ments have combined their efforts to
map the different phases of communi
ty development and provide a geo
graphical and sociological history of
tlie state. This comes as a result of
the individual efforts of Dean F. G.
Young and Dr Warren D. Smith to
map the communities from the two
distinct angles.
The data which has been collected
by the two departments up to date is
to be published in serial form in the
Commonwealth Review and will con
tinue in that magazine over a period
of two years, or until all the papers
have been in print. Dr. Smith and
Dean Young were considering a prop
osition to have the information put
out in book form, but the under
taking required too much capital and
the idea was abandoned for the pres
ent method of publicity. In the
Commonwealth Review the papers will
be printed chapter by chapter, re
ceiving criticism from other authori
ties and changes can be made in the
data accordingly.
Dean F. G. Young began work on
the community responses to the
questionnaires sent out to teachers in
all sections of the state. The an
swers to the questionnaires explain
in detail just what progress the com
munities have made and along what
particular lines they tend to grow
in regard to educational institutions
and public organizations. This will
be placed on file in a department to
bo created which will be called a
civic laboratory, and when the pro
ject has advanced far enough, indi
vidual filing systems will be installed
in each community, where they can
o
see themselves whether or not they
are making progress.
The idea of I)r. Warren D. Smith is
to collect all the data relating to
the geologic structure of the dis
tricts, the climatic conditions, and'
kinds of soil, and to point out, as a
supplement to the scheme, why peo
ple were attracted to the particular
areas. This information project will
cover the entire state, and will pre- j
sent complete knowledge to serve as
a basis for all future undertakings!
which have any relation to geology
whatever.
In connection with this plan, Dr.
Smith has spent over 10 years in re
search and during that time has vis
ited every corner of the state to ob
tain as direct and accurate data as
possible. lie has, also, all the in
formation of the geology department
at his control, and others of the 'de
partment are to contribute papers
upon the subject.
Multnomah county has become in
terested in work of the same kind
and recently $300,000 was appropri
ated for community development
throughout the state, which will ul
timately be of benefit to Portland
itself through the stimulation of the
surrounding communities. This will
in no way conflict with the Univer
sity project, however, and is an un
dertaking sponsored entirely by the
people of Multnomah county.
“Europe is far ahead of this
country in the community mapping
project,” Dr.. Smith said. “Several
other states in the union have also
compiled information such as we are
endeavoring to do, and this will
place us on a plane with them.”

SENIOR BREAKFAST IS
MORNING OF MAY 24
Junior Women to Call for
Guests Saturday
Dates are rapidly being made for
the senior breakfast at the Woman’s
building, Saturday morning, May 24,

The lists of names have been dis
tributed to each of the houses, the
library and the Co-op. There is a

Any senior whoso name is omitted
should be reported at the bungalow
of the Y. W. C. A. Any junior
woman who is not able to take the
girl allotted to her should also report

to turn out in full force.
WORK ALMOST FINISHED
ON NEW BOOK ELEVATOR

rapidly being installed in the
library, and carpenters, electricians,
and mechanics are all engaged in
putting it in place. It is planned
that the new book lift will be in
running order by the last of tho
week. This addition which has been
planned for several years is to be
a time-saver and a great conveni
ence in carrying books from floor
to floor. The book lift is large
enough to hold one truck load of
books and has a capacity of 1175
pounds.

MILITARY EXHIBITION
AT 0. A. C. MAY 24
Complimentary Tickets for
Oregon Students
The eleventh annual military
tournament to be staged by the O.
A. C. corps of cadets will be held
this year May 24, at Bell field sta
dium, Corvallis. This event has in
creased in importance each year.
Originally only one infantry unit
took part in this event, but now
five combat and major arms of the
military service appear in the show.
The big tournament is divided
into four main parts, and those in
charge predict that there will be
something doing every second. At
2:30 p. m. _it is to be started off
by a polo game, and at 7:00 p. m.
will come the Military Circus, con
sisting of military drills, competi
tions, exhibitoins, rough riding,
cavalry races, wall scaling, and
artillery firing. Following this, the
night operations and sham battle
will take place, after which there
is to be a pyrotechnics and fire
works exhibition.
Considering that O. A. C.’s mili
tary department has equipment
equal to that of any B. O. T. C.
department, the magnitude of the
tournament can be estimated.
Those Oregon students interested
in attending the tournament may
secure complimentary tickets a
few days prior to the occasion.

Dr. Edmund S. Conklin, head of
the psychology department, recent
ly completed a survey of oppor

ber of opportunities,” Dr. Conklin
said, “in the field of psychology
for teaching fellowships and part
time instructor positions, but the
students seem to know so little
about them.”
