CONTEST ANNOUNCED
BY PORTLAND CLUBS
Conservation of Oregon’s
Resources Object

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.

UNIVERSITY STUDENT j
. 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.

ORECM SALE NETS
Price of $4.50 for Annual

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

had gone 100 per cent in the drive
was eleven.
The contract for the printing mf
the Oregana has not been let by the

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.

[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

for tlio interest to be derived from
them. 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.

'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.
