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.

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

University of Indiana.—Co-eds
pay an average of $650 a year for
their education, it is estimated by
the American Association of Uni

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.

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.”
