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

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.”

CURRENT BOOKS AND MAGAZINES
CONTAIN INTERESTING READING
Former Oregon Man is Found Among Contributors to the
February Number of “Century”
Most of us never read much be
cause we don’t know where to start.
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). A glance over one or
two of these publications each week
keeps one in touch with the book

TUTTI
FRUITI
Ice Cream
EVERY week-end the Eugene
Fruit Growers ’ Association
produces an ice cream special
that is more than ice cream.
It is a delicious dessert made
of wholesome cream and containing
fruits and nuts blended in such a way
as to make an ice cream that is tastily
distinctive.
After you have tasted one of our spe
cials you will not be satisfied1 with
plain ice cream. Fruits and nuts add
solidity and flavor which cannot be
obtained in plain stock ice cream.
An example of our distinctive specials
is the Tutti Frutti ice cream we offer
to campus house managers this week.
Order it for Sunday dinner dessert and
see your your house members liven up.
It costs no more than other ice creams.

AMERICAN UNITARIANISM
1825-1925
The year 1925 marks the One Hundredth Anniversary of the formation of the
American Unitarian Association, the result of a definite movement beginning half a
century earlier among the Protestant churches of New England.
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.
