FIRMER STUDENT PREPARES SLIDES Classes Hear Ford Wilson On Visit to Campus DEGREES GAINED IN EAST Study Made of Thin Sections Of Bituminous Coal Thin sections of bituminous coal are being prepared by the petrog raphy class under the direction of Ford Wilson, former student of the chemistry department. Sections of this soft coal ranging from one five-thousandths of an inch are be ing made upon glass slides and studied under powerful micro scopes. Wilson has returned to the cam pus for four days and is spending his time about the geology depart ment talking to Dr. Edwin T. Hodge’s classes and the geologic seminar on this phase of geology. He has finished his research under the supervision of Dr. Reinhardt Thiessen at the United States bu reau of mines and Carnegie Insti tute of Technology at Pittsburg. Method Hot Used in Oregon His research problem dealt with the microscopic correlation of coal beds, and his investigations were carried on in the coal regions of Pennylsvania and Ohio. The same method of microscopic correlation might be applicable to the coal beds of Oregon and other sections of the west where bitumi nous coal is found. As yet this method has not been attempted in Oregon. The prepared slides are so thin as to transmit light and under a miscroscope reveal an array of reds and yellows. Photographs magni fied from 200 to 1000- times are taken of these thin sections by use of the photo-micrographic camera. Contents of Coal Seen The contents of the coal, a sedi mentary rock, may be clearly seen and the spores of the ferns and other paleozoic plants which are found in coal are visible. The spores in actual size are twice as large as the corpuscles in the blood fo a human being. These spores indicate the strata in which the coal is found. Wilson went to Pittsburg in the fall of 1923. He was graduate as sistant in chemistry when here. He graduated in 1922, receiving a B A. degree. He took his master’s degree in art at Oregon. His mastei of science degree was secured ai Carnegie Institute of Technology. | Editorially Clipped | <>---<£ EGOTISM AND EMERGENCY That the American student is narrowed by patriotism to such a degree that he is mind-blind to thf accomplishments of students ir other lands is a common criticism of the last deeade. His mind is focused too closely on his owr country, critics observe, to allow adequate study of the affairs or merits, of other races. He is overly content to consider his own land, his own people, his own religion as the only things worth while. He is an egotist, they say, and egotism is narrowness. “Is this true?” we ask ourselves. The answer, if the question is ap proached with an open mind, is yes. Though we call ourselves demo cratic, we are in fact intensely undemocratic. We believe devoutly in the concept that as all men are created equal, so should they be treated; but our faith is more of theory than of practice. There are more than five hundred foreign stu dents enrolled at California. Com ing from forty-two different nations, they represent all races of the world. But how many of them do we know? How many are received as we are! Only a few, and we know it. Why this condition is allowed to exist ■we haven’t a notion. We simply go about our affairs, moving always in our circles, and leave the foreigners to theirs. In our books we read of democracy; in oqr examinations we write of democracy; but in our daily life we fail to give it a thought. And we are the ones who suffer for this neglect. No matter what subject one studies, the full knowl edge can not be gained without drawing on supplies of other lands than his own. The Russian, the Frenchman, the Englishman, the German, the Italian, and the Ori ental all have knowledge which can be valuably used if we aspire for complete truth. There can be no racial discrimination if the student is to glean the most from any and all sources. We are here to gather the fruits of great men whose visions were broad enough to transcend the petty HAYWARD TELLS OF CHANGES IN BASKETBALL METHODS Modem Game is More Scientific and Less Bough; Small Man Has Better Chance Than Formerly i ■----—--— I Basketball in its very birth was I essentially the same as it is now, j although changes in the rules have tended to make the game more sei j entific and less rough. A small | man has bigger opportunities of i fered him now than he had even ! ten or fifteen years ago when the game was exceedingly rough, and it i took an “iron” man to hold up ' under a full game. Even now the j larger men is preferable because his j endurance is generally greater and he is heavier and stronger, but there are a great many players now 1 who can be called stars that do not weigh over 145 pounds. Rough Playing Eliminated The biggest change that has come j over the game is that much of the roughnflss has been eliminated. Re ferees have much to do with this, j They have become so skilled and ! are given so much power by -rules j that at all times they have the game under their thumb. A player is put out of the game if four fouls are called on him, which makes it necessary for him to at all times be careful of his play, lest he be put out of the game, or at any rate give the opposing team free shots. Yesterday Bill Hayward was talk ing about basketball in the years 1911-1914 when he was coach here. He told some very interesting and amusing stories of the game, and games played in these years. A few of these are here told: Former Player Recalled “We had a man here, Carl Fen ton, who was a real athlete. He played first base on the ball team, guard on the football team and center on the basketball team. He was about 6 ft. 1 in. tall and weighed about 195 pounds and was as hard as nails, the kind of man who could finish a basketball game, limitations of language and race. Our understanding of their teach ing will be lessened until we too can let down the bars. The real scholar is a man of the world. He approaches life’s problems from a ! Cosmopolitan standpoint. If it’s ! truth we are after, we must first | become denationalized. This in not Bolshevism. It is plain common sense. It is the foun dation upon which our nation stands. It is real democracy. CO-EDS PAY $650 PER YEAR FOR COLLEGE EDUCATION University of Indiana.—Co-eds pay an average of $650 a year for their education, it is estimated by the American Association of Uni versity Women. Bryn Mawr has the highest average, according to this count, while Indiana university has the lowest. It should be added, however, that the figures given do not include the high cost of cos metics. ‘RAZZING’ OF REFEREES TABOOED AT STANFORD Stanford.—A campaign to raise the standards of sportsmanship among the rooters at Stanford is being conducted by members of the Skull and Snake society.

I Hainsworth, Eugene’s favor ite organist, in atmospheric 1 accompaniment to the picture j on the mighty Wurlitzer. Coming: Tom Hix, his hu- j man horse, “Tony,” and a bevy of beauties, in “Oh, You j Tony. ” then turn around and play a foot ball game on the same floor with out doing himself much damage. He was a perfect foul shooter so he did all the shooting in this line. He was so accurate that the play ers were taught tricks winch would force an opposing player to foul him, then Fenton would take the ball and shoot the basket, and a point would be made. At this time anyone could take the free throw, now the person which is fouled has to take the throw himself.” “Whitman had their court screen ed in with wire something like chicken netting, making a cage out of the court, consequently the ball never could go out of bounds, they simply played until someone made a basket or the referee called a foul. This certain year Whitman had a crack team and had every intention of beating Oregon. It was the custom for the visiting team to bring or choose their own referee, so I took over the job as referee myself. Well, the game started and Whitman started roughing right away. I had trained niv men to play clean, but they w-ere perfectly able to play as rough as anyone if the occasion demanded it, so I went to the Whitman captain and told him to lay off the rough stuff or I would tell my men to loosen up a little themselves. Whitman started roughing again so I told the boys to go to it, and maybe it wasn’t some battle. Big Fenton was in things all the time: when he didn’t have the ball he was after it. The spectators were climbing }up and down on this wiring like a bunch of monkeys in a cage. Such holler ing and screaming I have never witnessed before or since. We won the game.” Basketball was a minor sport then; it was not particularly popu lar, most of the popularity going to football. One of Hayward’s stor-. ies illustrates this very well. “We went to Idaho on one of our trips and met the university while there. The game started and as was ex pected we took the lead, things progressed as usual until I got to thinking that the time for the first half must be about up so I went to find the timekeeper but much to my surprise there was no time keeper to be found, he had been entirly forgotten.” ANDREE PELLION TO GIVE SPEECH AT FRENCH CLUB “Normal Schools in France,” is the title of an address to be given tonight by Andree Pellion, graduate student, from Courcement, Sarthe, France, before Le Foyer Francais.

His Confidence In Our Policy A certain well-known business man said to us the other day, "I like your selling policy ; I ran buy from you knowing that you will not reduce your price the next day. One doesn’t like to spend a certain amount of money for some article and then pick up the evening paper and find that the same store has it “on sale for tomorrow only” at a lower price. Surely, it is not fair play.
