FRENCH CLUB TO iLO THIRD MEETIfflT0DI1T Germaine Cornier to Speak On Montipartre The third meeting of the French club will be held tonight at 7:30 at the Y. W. C. A. Bungalow. There will be a short program before the meeting. Miss Germaine CornieT, a French instructor of the Univer sity, will speak on “Montmartre.” Montmartre is a northern section of Paris, situated on an eminence overlooking the city. It is a favor ite resort for the Parisians and con tains numerous places of amuse ment The oldest burial ground of modem Paris, the famous cemetery of Montmartre, is located there. The French chib is open to all French students, or visitors ac quainted with the iFreneh language. The meetings are conducted in French and Eldise Buck, the presi dent, will conduct tonight’s meet ing. Sports Banquet ito End Football Season; Victory Cetebrdtion Is Planned (Continued from page one) hoys all "they want in the way of vaudeville entertainment.” A spe cial Block of seats will be reserved for the football men and their es corts for the second show. Features Are Planned Special features are also being planned by the committee in charge for the banquet, and these will be announced as the “bust” proceeds. Dean Walker, former Oregon foot ball star and present student ad viser, is to sqrve as toastmaster of the affair. Every football man who went out for the whole season is entitled to attend the banquet, it is announced, and the men having “dates” for the theater party are asked to not ify George H. Godfrey today, so that seats can be arranged in pairs. The tickets will be given out at the banquet. The College Side Inn promises the men the best in culinary art for the meal, and the “house” will also provide special features during the affair. Invitation Given The banquet was made possible through the sale of the ‘1 Oskie Wee Wee” at the rally dance just before vacation. “Every football man must be there,” says Fred Martin, chairman of the banquet committee, “and we especially want the sport corres pondents, for it was the combina tion working together that ‘put over’ Oregon sports in such .good style this fall.'”’ No other invitations other than this notice are needed for football k men and sport correspondents, and it is expected that every man who was in moleskins this season will be present. FINE ARTS BUILDING FUND TO BE RAISED A committee which will suggest plans to raise money for the fine arts building fund during the Christmas holidays was appointed at a meeting of the general com mittee yesterday. Each Oregon town represented at the University will be canvassed by a member of the general com mittee, which was named last week. The general plan of the campaign ■will be carried on in somewhat the same manner as the Woman’s build ing campaign, and was outlined by Dean Esterly at the meeting. Mem bers of the ways and means com mittee appointed are: Pauline Bon durant, Mary Donaldson, Marie Gil keson, Margaret Vincent, Alta Smith and Marian Horsfall. GEOLOGY FIELD TRIPS STUDY BOCK FORMS All sections of general geology will be taken to Springfield this week to make the last field trip of the term. Types of sedimentary roeks will be studied in and around Springfield. Dr. E. L. Packard an nounced to all classes that an ef fort would be made to set the time of the trips so that it would not conflict with regular geology lab oratory periods. Trips will be made today at 1 and 3 o ’clock, at un fixed times on Friday, and possibly the last trip Saturday morning. WARNER TO ADDRESS GROUP ON OREGON CRIMINAL LAW Professor Sam Bass. Warner of the law school is scheduled to ad dress the District Attorney associ ation of the state of Oregon at the annual meeting in Portland, Decem ber 11 and 12. His talk will cover a review of the criminal eases that have been decided by the Oregon supreme court during the past year, and will take place Thursday after noon, December ll._ GRAVITY BALANCE INSTRUMENT USED IN DETECTING OIL FIELDS Delicate Apparatus Makes Necessary Accurate Calculations; , Companies Consider Project San. "Francisco.—(By Science Ser vice)—Oil. liquid wealth, loeated beneath the ground without the risk and cost of drilling! This has been the promise of a long list of fakers who haye vie-1 timized oil men who have been j credulous in their eagerness to real- j ize on the rosy promises to locate 1 oil pools with absolute certainty, tell the depth to the oil, whether the wells would be pumpers or gushers and the amount of oil they would produce. “Doodlebugs” is the contemptuous name tthat has been won by the mysterious con traptions used by these fakers. Yet now comes a scientific instru ment that promises to'be a sort of divining rod for oil. It is the .Eotvos Torsion Balance, now being tested by certain progrejssive oil companies in California as an aid in locating new oil fields. This instrument was developed over thirty years ago by the great Hungarian physicist Eotvos who found he needed some super-sensi tive means of measuring the force of gravity so as to detect its minute variations from place to place. However, it was a great many years later that the first suggestion was made that the balance icould be put to practical use^and it is only with in the past 'few months that oil complies have become interested in qts possibilities. Essentially the mechanism con sists of a lig!it aluminum bar sus pended from a fixed point by a fine platinum wire about a yard long. On one end of the bar is fastened a little platinum weight while an equal weight attached to the opposite end hangs down two or three feet below the bar. The weighted bar tends to rotate under the influence of the force of grav ity until it comes to a certain posi tion of equilibrium. This position of rest is either read off on the scale provided or in the Case of newer models registered photo graphically. The whole instrument is then turned in another direction, the new position of rest recorded and the process repeated until enough data have been secured to calculate the exact value of the force of gravity at that Station. 1 Similar observations are made at other stations judiciously spaced over the aTea being investigated. The torsion balance gives no di rect indications of the presence of oil-bearing Tocks underground. It gives only an accurate picture of the variations of the force of grav ity In the locality. It is then up to the oil geologist to use this gravity data to help in working out the lo cation of Structures in the under*' lying rocks which are favorable for I oil accumulation. Most of the im-! poTtant oil fields have been found to occur where the underlying strata have been arched upward. Where such conditions exist the older and generally heavier rocks approach nearer the surface and bring about a flight local increase in the force of gravity. It is in this roundabout manner that grav-1 ity ’measurements aid in the search for oil. In actual practice a lot of troublesome corrections have to be made for the force of gravity is influenced by distance from the equator, elevation above sea level and especially by the proximity of hills and mountains. The Torsion Balance is so sensitive that even the presence of the observer is registered by a deflection of the beam. It bears much the same re lation in sensitivity to the delicate balance used in chemical analysis as that instrument does to the rail-1 road scales used for weighing freight cars. Extraordinary precau tions have to be taken to prevent disturbances other than those due to gravity. The swinging pparts, I consisting of wire, beam and weights, are enclosed in a double walled metal ease. Even then, the 1 sun’s rays might set up tiny cur rents inside which would cause temporary deflections of the beam and so the observations are cus tomarily made at night with the instrument housed in a tent with insulating walls. Experiments are still in progress and commercial considerations make the oil companies reticent in dis closing the successes and failures of the new method for predicting oil. LECTURE ON EGYPT TO BE RADIO-CAST ' The Rev. Brule e J. Gif fen, stuSent pastor, will radio-cast the lecture Friday evening at 8 o’clock from broadcasting station KGW of the Morning Oregonian. Hjis suhfjeet will be “The Egyptian Situation.?’ This is the regular Friday evening radio-casting of the University ex tension division. “The Rev. Mr. Giffen is well qualified to speak on this subject,” said Mary E. Kent of the exten sion division, in commenting on the topic. “He was born in Egypt. He has Always been a student of Egyp tian affairs. • “When the recent discoveries were made in the tomb of King Tutankhamen, 1 Mr. Giffen was called on to make several speeches about the state,” said Miss Kent. The recent situation in Egypt and the Sudan has attracted the at [ tention of the world. Press dis patches have been carrying news stories about the killing of the Sirdar and about how the new con servative British government * has been handling the situation. YELLOW SLICKERS GARB OF WASHINGTON ROOTERS University of Washington.—Yel low slickers with purple collars will be the official garb at football games. The proposition of wearing yellow slickers was passed on the recommendation of the graduate manager whose attention was first called when he saw 20,000 people wearing them at the Olympic try- ; outs in the Harvard stadium last spring. \ RUTH NEWTON HAS POEM ACCEPTED 'BY MAGAZINE Ruth Newton, a freshman in the English department, has had a poem, “Night and the Fog,” ac cepted for publication by “The Lariet,” a poetry magazine pub lished by Col. E. Hofer at Salem. Miss Newton is from Klamath Falls and lives at Susan Campbell hall. FRIEND LY-PSI KAPPA CLASH IN GAME TODAY What promises to be one of the fastest basketball games of the sea son in the doughnut league will be played this afternoon when Friend ly hall and Psi» Kappa mix in the struggle to prove which will be Jhe logical team to enter the final con test, December 11. Both teams have played through the season so far without a defeat to mar their records. Friendly hall has defeated Sigma Pi Tau and Delta Tau Delta so far while Psi Kappa handed a defeat to Phi Delta Theta. In a preliminary game the Kap pa Sigma and Oregon »club will fur nish a few thrills for the spectators. The winner of this contest will play Phi Kappa Psi, December 9, in the other semi-final game.

Record Crowd Attends Oxford Debate; Oregon Takes Tilt By Big Odds (Continued from vage one) eies for which these parties stand. The electorate is unable to make decisions on the minor details of legislation that the referendum al lows them to decide, he said, but are fully capable of deciding which of the programs of the various par ties they desire. The details ,0f legislation, he contended, should be left to the legislators elected for that purpose. v “Only six measures out of the 400 passed by the Oregon legis lature last year were referred to the people,” said Walter Malcolm, second speaker for the affirmative, “proving that only the major is sues are given thq, electorate to de cide, under the referendum.” The corruptness of the representatives in their gerrymandering, log-rolling and lobbying was pointed odt by the speaker and the referendum was quoted as being the only meas ure able to stop it. The referendum deals with the larger programs of the legislative bodies, said J. D. Woodruff, speak er for the negative, and the petty crookedness of the representatives cannot be stopped by such a meas ure. The only way to get good rep resentation is to trust the men elected and make them feel that they are holding a dignified posi tion, he said. The referendum may work in smaller countries like Switzerland and Oregon but in larger countries, it is best to elect the men with fheir policies. Success Pointed Out Paul Patterson, of Oregon, and M. C. Hollis, of Oxford, made the concluding constructive speeches. Patterson,pointed out that 22 states are at the present time employing the referendum with success, which proves, he said, that it can be used by large countries. “One can’t vote for one measure and against another by voting for a man who is against both,” said [.CLASSIFIED ADS !
