Thomas Curtin, War Correspondent, Speaks At Regular Assembly (Continued from pafje one) that there seems to bo a halo hang ing over Washington in compari son,” the speaker humorously de clared. However, in Mr. Curtin’s opinion, | there should be a chronicling of truth on both sides. ‘‘There is an immense amount of news from 'Rus sia,” he suid, “and will bo for the rest of your lives.” Speaking of the present leaders of Russia he said that if they used to be Jews or Christians they are not now. There is an article in the present penal .code providing for a year’s imprisonment for any one teaching the existence of a God to any child under eighteen years of age. The biggest lesson he had learned from the war, the speaker declared, ■was that structure building, whether of an individual or of a govern ment, if it is t« be built to last, must be put on a basis morally sound. Preceding the regular assembly address, winners of the doifghnut debntes were awarded the silver cups. Alpha Beta Chi carrying off the Tan Kappa Alpha cup for win ner of the men’s league, and the one awarded the campus champion. Hendricks hall was awarded the Zeta Kappa Psi cup for winning the women’s league title. The men’s glee club furnished the assembly music. Tn Penn Allen’s ten o’clock edit ing class Mr. Curtin gave an in formal talk on journalism in Eu rope and America today, and he addressed the history classes at 2:1 in Commerce, on the situation in Europe after the war. In the latter speech he explained in detail the attitude of the different eoum tries toward one another, the Ruhr problem, a proposed government of Germany and the future condition of Europe. Ho related unusual ex periences of his during the war, and told of interviews with men prominent in world affairs. XiE rftytw TRANOAIS HOLDS MEETING THURSDAY NIGHT A regular meeting of T.e Foyer Francois was held last night, in the Y. W, C. A. bungalow. The sd dress was given by Miss Henriette Gouy, instructor In the romance language department. The subject of the discussion was “Marseilles.” Miss Maizie Richards gave a piano jjsolo, “The Rustle of Spring.” f OLD OBSERVATORY TIME-PIECE AROUSES STUDENT CURIOSITY Relic of Early Days at the University Now Reposing on Wall of Registrar’s Office ! “Say, is that a barometer of some \ kind!” ! “Where did that grandfather jclock come from?” j “What is it for, anyhow? What is it doing up here?” These are examples of the ques tions propounded by curious stu dents concerning the old observa tory clock which stands in the southeastern corner of the regis trar’s office. Detailing the story of this his toric timepiece, Professor E. H. Mc jAlister, of the mechanics and as 'tronomy department, says that when the University maintained an ob servatory on Skinner’s butte in the early ’80’s, one of the first pieces of equipment obtained was an ob servatory clock which came from Philadelphia. The remote location of this observatory made it a ren dezvous for tramps and law-break ers and was continually broken in to and the valuable equipment de stroyed or stolen. The Eugene city government finally decided that the building was too great a danger to public safety, and ordered all the equipment removed. *A charge of dynamite was placed beneath the observatory and thus completely destroyed it. A new observatory was finally built where Hendricks hall now stands, and the clock was placed there, where it remained as the astronomy department’s official timepiece for many years until the observatory was torn down to make roem for Hendricks hall, whieh was built in 1917. The clock was fin ally placed in the Administration building, where it has since re mained, the object of curious eyes and many questions. This sturdy veteran of the clcek maker’s art does not keep solar time, but is a 24-hour type. It runs by a system of weights as did the older clocks at the time this one was made. Several parts of the mechanism are broken, and as soon as possible they will be replaced. MRS. HOOVER TELLS Of STUDENTS OBI French University Life Is Presented at Meeting Glimpses ol the student life in Alsaee and France were given by Mrs. Alta Cooney Hoover, a mem ber of the faculty, in her talk on “Student Life in Strassburg” %t the regular meeting of the Y. W. C. A. at the Bungalow yesterday at 4:30. The talk included a presen tation of the activities of the younfj people both in academic and re creational fields. The French university students and those at Strassburg, Mrs. noover states, are not requirod to attend classes. They register in their classes and sometimes even leave the university towns and re turn to their homes. It is neces sary for them to return for their examinations, which aro held in June or July. They have two ex aminations,” Mrs. Hoover explained, “the written examination given the first day and tlje oral the second, so that the profossors. get a fairly good idea of what the students know of their subjects. French students find it difficult to organize meetings and they have no fraternities or anything which resembles them, Mrs. Hoover, said. Instead of living in groups as is done in the American universities, the French students and those at Strassburg, too, live in one large building, one third being given over to the women and the remainder to the men. There aro no regulations by which they must live. As long as they do not disturb their neigh bors unduely, they are left to live much as they please. There aro no athletics in these schools, Mrs. Hoover went on to tell of the activities of the French and Alsatian students. There are no schools of physical education. “The theatre is the biggest inter est,” she announced. Everyone goes to the theatres. They are under municipal ownership and are supported by taxation. Sometimes they do not pay, but the gallery ticket is no more than fifteen eonts and almost all of the student body attends. The students are familiar with the operas, especially the mu sic and they attend a great num ber of concerts. Another diversion is the cafe. The French cafe is not the' American idea of the cab aret, she explained, but a kind of restaurant, where light wines and beers are sold. Students even bring their books to the cafes and do much of their reading there. Mrs, Hoover says that in her | talk she attempted to present to the best of her ability, the average student. She also gave a shorl sketch of the primary and second ary schools of these countries. Esther Church presented n pianc solo and Eloise Buck presided at tht ! meeting. There was an unusually large attendance. — "TOM THUMB" FRESHMAN AT TORONTO UNIVERSITY University of Toronto.—The Uni i versity of Toronto boasts of a rea "Toni Thumb.” The unusual stu ■ dent is a freshman, three feet, sis inches high.

Why has not some daring writer of verse dipped well into astron-« omy! Close your eyes and imagine a poem entitled “Bain drops on star dust.” Such a seeming poptte fancy comes from a statement1 advanced by Professor E. H. McAlister, of the mechanics and astronomy depart ment ihth'is way: “It is a fact that, under correct physical conditions, the vapor al ways present in the' air attaches it self in the form of globules to the floating particles of dUst which have been cast off by meteors or stars, thus forming what we call ‘rain dtops’.'” EH PIER AND BOXER VICTIRJ ATI1TLAND Davis Gets Fair; Irvin Knocks Out Kayser Oregon’s two representatives at the Elks ’ smoker, held5 in Portland Wednesday night, turned in a dou ble victory fOr the Lemon-Yellow.
