CONTEST ANNOUNCED BY PORTLAND CLUBS Conservation of Oregon’s Resources Object A contest, tlie object of which is to conserve Oregon’s natural re sources, has been announced by the Land Settlement and Marketing committees of the Portland Cham ber of Commerce, Progressive Busi ness Men’s club, and the Portland Ad club. The contest, which is the form of an essay, is for the purpose of promoting the conservation of raw materials with the possible estab lishment of new industries to con vert the waste into useful commod ities, thereby bringing new wealth into the state. An illustration of the conservation of waste now en tering a practical stage is the se curing of by-products from sawdust, bv methods developed by Professor O. F. Stafford at the University of Oregon, and recently adopted by Henry Ford in his Iron Mountain, Michigan plant. Among materials which are now chiefly waste products are' sawdust, stumps, vegetable growth, fruit waste, straw, etc. Other products that might be affected are bulk im ports, such as copra, manufacture of grain into cereals, releasing by products for dairy cattle, etc. The first prize, donated by the Oregon State Wide Development Fund will be -$100.00: the second prize, donated by the Progressive Business Men, $50,00; and the third prize, donated by the Ad Club, $25.00. All entries should be addressed to the Contest Committee, 10$ Oregon building, Portland, Oregon, and may i be as brief or as detailed in their nature as the contestant may de sire. The contest closes February 15, and no entries will be received! after that date. Judges for the contest. chosen from the three organizations parti cipating, are L. T. Merwin, vice president and general manager of the Northwestern Electric com pany; Franklin Kenny of J. P. Finley & Son; and Lawrence Lilje quist, attorney.

TEACHING IN HAWAII Elizabeth Keys, correspondence study student of the University ex tension division, is teaching at Li-° hue Kauai. Hawaii. She is a for meh’ student of the University, ac cording to Miss Mozetle Hair of the .extension division, and during last summer attended the summer ses sion at the Portland center. “Kauai is the most northwestern of the Hawaiian Islands, and the schopl in which T teach is the most western senior high school in the < world,” writes Miss Keys in a let- i ter to Miss Hair. “Our school paper is called, ‘ Ka Welo O Ka La,’ which is the Haw- • aiian for ‘Out where the sun drops ! down.’ The name is significant of the fact that the east is east of us, and the east is also west of us.” j Miss Keys writes that she enjoys j her teaching in the frontiers of | western civilization. “I feel that ! Kauai is really an outpost of west | ern civilization,” she says. There I are quite a number of oriental stu (dents in the high school, and the ! classes are made up of a number of j nationalities which makes the work i of teaching all the more interest jing, in her opinion. — COLUMBIA CHESS TEAM OUT-CLASSES ALL RIVALS Columbia tjniversity.—The C’ol jlegiate Chess league, composed of Columbia, Harvard, Yale, and Princeton was dissolved last week because of Columbia’s undisputed superiority over the other three members. Columbia’s team has de feated all opponents for the last ten years. ORECM SALE NETS Price of $4.50 for Annual Will Be Maintained About 1100 Oreganas were sold in the recent circulation drive, said Gibson Wright, business manager for the year book. This is a suf- ! fieient number to maintain the price of $4.d0, which was provision- \ ally made during the time of the drive. No more subscriptions for ; the Oregana will be taken from now j on, said Wright. At the last check made by the circulation manager, Kenneth Step henson, the number of houses that had gone 100 per cent in the drive was eleven. The contract for the printing mf the Oregana has not been let by the publications committee yet. At a meeting of the committee held yes terday it was decided to postpone definite action until Tuesday.

VACCINATION RETARDS RIFLE TEAM-PRACTICE Good Weather Also Affects Men’s Squad Turnout 'Warm weather and vaccination combined have tended to retard the amount of practice of the men’s R. O. T. C. rifle team. During the past week, only a comparatively few of those signed up for the squad have turned .out for instruc tion and practice. Monday about ten of the forty six students enrolled turned (^jit. Eighteen men practiced Tuesday, but yesterday, only ten reported. The vaccination kept a good num ber away, and the others evidently enjoyed the sunshine so much that they thought practice unnecessary, according to Captain ,T. T. Murray. Next week, practice in actual fir ing will probably commence. East year, the team failed to win any of the matches but more interest is being shown in the work this year, and with the men who are out at present, Captain Murray believes that it will be possible to develop some first-class marksmen.

ROBERTS, President Phone 666 992 Willamette MINNESOTA TAKES STEPS TO BETTER SCHOLARSHIP University of Minnesota.—Every fraternal organization at the Uni versity of Minnesota must have at I least an average of C for the year ! or they are placed on probation for the following year. If at the end ;of that year they have still failed ! to raise the grade, the university will take any action they see fit j without regard for the fraternity ! itself. I ___ [Revival of Interest in Books Noticed: Students Are on Upward Trend . i (Continued from pope one) “Ariel: Life of Shelley” was cited as being typical among the books most sought after in the library : today. She added that the a verage student would like to read more than he does, but that the wide di versity of his interests prevents him from doing so. ''in every college there art* two groups of students; those who read ;nnd those who won’t read,” said [Dean Sheldon, head of the school • of education. “Among the members of the former group there is evident ja. decided improvement both in qual lity and in quantity, in their read ling, over the past few years.” • That living organizations and j dormitories, while necessary insti tutions and admirable in many re spects, were distinct handicaps to | the individual in “getting in” any i'ending, was the opinion offered |by Ur. Sheldon with regard to the! i student's outside readingt As a I [possible panacea for this, he sug gested that the upperclassmen in terested in getting a background of reading spend a year or more out [side his house, before he graduated. “When I was in. college,” Dean ! Straub of *t.l#:‘ Greek department' said, “we used to think nothing of reading 100 books in a year, mostly works of a classical nature -too, just [cLASSIFIEDADSj LOST—One brown bill-fold pro bably in gym or between campus and 19th street, containing three $5 hills and small change, also receipt with name and address.

Today tlie average student thinks he has done remarkably well if he reads 100 books during his entire four years in college.” The Dean, while not directly op posed to co-education, believes that the poor showing of the student of today in outside reading, is in no small part due to the "female in our midst.” The present academic structure, with its long hours, and longer as signments, is seen by Professor Johnstone of the philosophy depart ment as the chief obstacle to the student in do-ing any outside read ing. Mr. Johnstone deplored the present "hour system” employed in most American universities, which, because of its rigid classroom re quirements, absorbs all the student’s time in doing required work and leaves no leisure time for outside reading. The student's recognized inability to properly distribute his time, and to know what to read. The Business Man’s Ink is Blue-Blacs SANFORD'S Fountain Pen Ink It’s Permanent 'v;ia laid to the inadequate training furnished in the high schools. Mr. Johnstone further asserted that more should he made of the student’s relation to his advisor, with regard to the matter of the proper arrangement of courses, and especially in selecting his reading. An interesting angle on the kind of books students are reading was obtained from Professor W. F. G. i hacher of the school of journal ism. The day of Harold Bell Wright, Hex Beach, and others of the glit tering romantic school of a few years ago, has set, he said. Even I books like “The Plastic Age,” and “(irey Towers” which enjoyed such high favor a brief year ago, are no longer of great interest to the large percent of readers. Books which are stamped with a distinct personal element, biographies and autobiographies, are now in the as cendancy.
