PUBLIC SERVICE Business Men Scheduled For Lecture Series Following the lead of several uni versities in the United State's, the economics department on the cam pus is sponsoring a series of addres ses and discussions by prominent men engaged in public utilities and transportation. The lectures will all be given in room 105 commerce building. J. A. Ormandy, general passenger agent of the Southern Pacific, will give the first address of the ser ies Wednesday evening at 7:15. His topic will be “Railways and Public Relations.” Thursday morning, at 10 o’clock, he will discuss “The Relation of Railways to University Students.” The lectures are given in connec tion with the transportation courses given by Dr. Peter C. Crockatt, of the economics department, and those given in public utilities by Dr. M. K. Cameron. “The purpose of holding these meetings will be to further a pur pose of the economies department to train men for public service work in these lines,” Dr. Crockatt stated. “One of the reasons for holding this series on the Oregon campus is to promote freedom of discussion of the vital questions which the public is facing today. As the uni versity is one place where a man may speak his mind, there is, no doubt, great opportunity here to bring about solutions,” Dr. Crock att said. The success or failure of this movement depends entirely on the reception which the speakers are given. It is desired that everyone who can will attend the meetings. Two of the men who will prob ably come here in the near future are, H. H. Corey of Salem, chair man of the Public Service Commis sion of Oregon, and possibly Frank lin T. Griffith, president of the Portland Electric Power company. SUNSET BAY RESEARCH WORK TRIP CONSIDERED H. B. Yocum Plans to Study Region With Students A group of pictures of Sunset Bay, where Dr. IT. B. Yocum hopes to take a group of students for the purpose of scientific research of the region, are on display on the bul letin board outside Dr. Torrey’s office in Deady hall. These scenes which were taken by Dr. Yocum and Oscar Richardson show various beach formations, from mud reefs and tide bays to rocky and precipitous shore lines. Some sea anemones and mussels are shown as common types of marine life. Sunset Bay is a sheltered cove on the ocean surrounded by tree cov ered promontories, and has a scen ic as well as zoological values,” said Dr. Yocum. “Tt is eleven miles out. of North Bend and adjoins the land of the old Seashore estate. Tt is also only a short distance from Empire, an old whaling station, one of the oldest towns in Oregon.” “The rocks belong to the Empire formation,” said Miss Sanborn, of the botany department. “The fos sils will no doubt be abundant, the plants representing the Miocene flora. Judging from the collection of Empire material in Stanford, we expect to find even larger forma tion here, among which will be plants of modern type, such ns laurels, willows oak magnolias, and birches. “Living forms of marine speci mens will probably be species of red nnd brown algae, and we have found there egregia, neroevstis, which is a kind of large kelp, and the coral algae which it is now thought has been ns important in limestone formations as the true coral.” Dr. Yocum wishes all interested in going to Sunset Bny for the re search work this summer to talk with him about the project. YALE MEN ON BLACKLIST FOR MISUSE OF TICKETS Yale. One hundred and thirty five Yale students have been “blacklisted” bv the Yalo Ticket association for the misuse of ath letic tickets. The "blacklist” con tains the names of lx>th graduates and undergraduates, including prac tically all departments of the uni versity. This ukase will endure for life. Hereafter no member of the “blacklist” will be eligible to pur chase seats for athletic contests in the future. Recent Years Bring Victory to Oregon Basketball Team (Continued from page one) the end of this five minute period the timekeeper pulled the triggei of the pistol which should havt ended the game, but—the gun didn’t go off, and before the trig ger could be pulled again abaskel was shot by a Washington mail which won them the game. Natur ally quite a row came up but the decision was given in favor of Washington. In 1917 the worst basketball rec ord of all time was made here. The varsity did not win even one of the eleven games played. The year be foro was not too good but this cer tainly took the prize. The next year things turned out some better, a fair percentage of the games were won. Quoting the Oregana of 1918 regarding the coaching staff: “Bill Hayward was chosen coach to suc ceed Hugo Bezdek, but Bill was more or less under the weather all season and Dean Walker did a good part of the coaching. The teams of 1919 and 1920 were hit badly with influenza. It was in 1919 when this disease was at its height which gave him two free throws, that Oregon played California be hind closed doors in the armory. Looking only at the games won and the games lost, Oregon basket ball cannot be considered much of a success up to the time mentioned. Value of Co-education Discussed By Dean Straub in Interview (Continued from page one) vcrsities do. Stanford limits tho number of girl students to 500. A curious situation exists there. The men do not seem to pay very much attention to the women, and in stances have occurred in which they objected to their presence. “I am not againBt our present system,” the dean said, in conclu sion, “but I do think there is too much loafing. And it isn’t all tho girls’ fault, either. The men are just as much to blame.” I CLASSIFIED ADS I <S>-—---<g> $390—1924 FORD COUPE—In splendid condition, newly polished and overhauled.

The field of reading is so broad and the books, magazines and pamphlets which fill the library are so num erous that the task seems too nearly impossible to undertake. Reading today must necessarily be a matter of selection. Those who are interested in scien tific phenomena, should read the articles appearing in the January numbers of “The Scientific Aaner ic-an” and in “Harper’s Monthly,” which tell in a fascinating manner of the solar eclipse which took place this morning (January 24). Then by looking a bit further one will discover two absorbing articles on “New Faets About Life on Mars,” and “Radial Superiority,” which ap pear in the February number of the “Scientific American.” It is not generally known that the “Forum” is running a really re markable series of articles on “What is Civilization?” India's point of view with regard to this question is recorded in the Janu ary number of the magazine in an article by Dhan Gopal Mukerji. Somewhat similar to this series is the one being written for the “Dial” at the present time by Os wald Spengler, a German philoso pher, on “The Downfall of West ern Civilization.” Coming a little closer home, an article appeared in the February number of “Century” by an Ore gon man, James Stevens, at present a resident of Tacoma, Wash., en titled “A Hobo’s Apology.” The “Centurion,” oomjmentingt on this article, says: “It is both a delight ful literary and historic essay of an era in tho life of American labor that has almost passed.” Passing into the realm of books a still greater uncertainty is felt, and the reader is usually guided in a few limited selections which he lias time to read by the opinion of some friends, or the chance comment of an instructor. The problem of obtaining the best possible selec tion is a hard one. Publications which print reviews on all, or prac tically all, the books of real inter est as they are published are “The Saturday Review,” edited by Seidel Canby; “Books,” edited by Stuart P. Sherman, and published by the New York Herald Tribune; “The New York Times Book Reviews;” “The Times Literary Supplement” (English); “The Literary Digest International Book , Reviews” (monthly); and the “Bookman” (monthly).

For one hundred years the churches comprising this association have united upon the principle than man’s reason is the highest relgious authority, and that uniform ity of belief can never be accomplished except in name. Instead of a confession of faith, a majority of these churches have united upon this working principle, “In the Love of Truth, and in the Spirit of Jesus, we unite for the worship of God and the Service of Man.’’ The result of this association has been a remarkable development in religious thought—a development reflected, sometimes in large degree in the changing beliefs of other denominations in America. This body of Unitarian thought—often called by the name Liberal—is in agreement with the demonstrated facts in the other fields of human knowledge. FAITH AND RELIGIOUS AUTHORITY Unitarians accept no religious authority as final. Revelation, they believe, is a process that antedates the Bible and all churches, overflows all creeds, and is con fined to the prophets of no one religion. All teachings must be tested by experience and subjected to the authority of reason and conscience. It a reverent spirit of inquiry we should test all things. Reason cannot explain all mysteries, but it must be free to investigate them. The authority of tradition and text, of apostle and council is simply the author ity of some other man. It is worthy of respectful consideration, but it should never come between us and the living God. Believing that creeds hinder the development and efficacy of religious truth and lead to mental sluggishness and insincerity on the part of those who subscribe to them. Unitarians do not require allegiance to any creed. Since great uncertainty must always attend the thinking of finite and fallible minds, Uuiterians believe that God holds no one responsible for the attainment of Divine knowledge, but only for the serious search for it. NEXT SUNDAY The Rev. William G. Eliot of The Church of Our Father (Unitarian) of Port land, will preach in the Unitarian Church in Eugene Sunday morning. Mr. Eliot is a distinguished clergyman, well known as a preacher of Liberalism throughout the Pacific Northwest. University men and women are cordially invited to this service and all services of “The Little Church of the Human Spirit.” The soloist at this service will be Alberta Carson.
