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,

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.

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

Patterson and Woodruff, cap
tains oif their 'respective teams,

them.
