RED CROSS TEST TO BEGIN FRIDAY 40 Candidates Have Signed For Examination LOCAL BOARD IS NAMED Work Will jBe Finished On Saturday Morning The final lifesaving tests in the men’s division of the University of Oregon Red Cross corps will be held on Friday afternoon at 3:30 and again on Saturday morning at 10.00. So far there are approximately 40 candidates signed to tryout for membership in the local corps. These men have been preparing for this test for the past six weeks. The examination will be given by the examining board of the local corps which consists of Floyd Web ster, L. E. Palmer, Rudolph Fahl, and Robert Bartlett. Standards High, Says Fahl According to Rudolph Fahl,; swimming instructor, it has always j been the policy of the American | Red Cross to maintain a high standard of efficiency among its members. This efficiency includes both progressive methods in carry ing out its work and qualities not always found in even an excellent swimmer. Every member of the corps must be able at any time to assume the duties to which be agrees when he becomes a member. Thus it is easily seen that to pass a candidate who might be incompe tent would mean the possible loss of two lives instead of one, in time of need, because of the false confi dence given by the possession of jm American Red Cross emblem. Events are Iiiisted The candidates will be required to pass in all of the following events: Disrobe in deep water and swim 100 yards; surface dive and recovering 10-pound woight; front, back and under water approaches with proper turn and carry; head carry; cross-chest carry; arm lock or hair carry; tired swimmers car ry; break for front stranglo hold in proper form; break for back strangle hold in proper form; break for double grip on one wrist in proper form; break for two people locked in front strangle; demon strate prone pressuro method of resuscitation; float one minuto; tread water for thirty soconds; ono minute carry with subjelct com pletely dressed; fireman’s carry; lift from water unassisted; oral examination on lifesaving methods; and written essay on resuscitation. Names of Aspirants Given The rules covering the examina tion state that any student making a grade of 1)5 per cent or abovo may be recommended for the position of examiner at the discretion of the local board of examiners. Tn addi tion to teaching the fundamentals of lifesaving work these tests are meant, to give the future lifesavor confidence in his own ability. “One of the main requisites for lifesav ing is level headedness and this phase is being fully stressed,” said Fahl. The following men have signified their intention to partake in the’ tost and are asked to report at the specified time, they are: Ooorgo TI. ■Mason, E. P. Conway, Ij. Boavis, A. Goss, W. Wright, S.

ITEMS OF INTEREST IN CHINA TOLD BY UNIVERSITY GRADUATE Bobbed Hair Fashion nbt Popular Among People of Orient; Foot Binding Still Exists, Says Mrs. Smythe Mrs. Erma Zimmerman Smythe, ’19, a University graduate, at pres ent in Tientsin, China, where her husband is at the head of the geo logy department of the Peiyang university, describes many inter esting Chinese affairs in letters to relatives in Eugene. News about the recent war in China, Mrs. Smythe wrote, was gained from the papers even though they were in the midst of it. “Be ing right on the job we have to de pend on the morning paper for our thrill just as you do. So far noth ing has happened to create any danger at all.” Armistice Day was observed in Tientsin, every man who served in the World War turning out. “I never saw so much gold braid in my life, and medals and decora tions. One man had nearly his whole front to his belt plastered with them. Such a variety of na tionalities! You have seen pictures of groups of European diplomats, well, the men in that crowd loolced like such a group.” The bobbed hair fashion has not yet penetrated into China. Mrs. Smythe says the foot binding has not gone out. “Everywhere one sees the Chinese women hobbling about on those tiny feet; only the very poorest walk. But it is fas cinating to see a Chinese girl pass in a rickshaw. Her dress is im maculate and her hair is as slick as handoline can make it. If she wears it in a knot, she usually decorates it with a bright colored flower or jade and gold pins.” Chopsticks and peculiar articles of food are things to which Mrs. Smythe has become accustomed, she Bays. “Wo went to a party last night where the chief feature of the evening was a Chinei e feast. The food was very good and of groat variety, such as seaweed, seeds from the maidenhair fern tree, bamboo sprouts, lotus seeds, rice, shrimps, bean curd, chicken, and—garlic roots. “Coming home the Btreets of the village were deserted except for the police stationed at short intervals. It seemed almost wierd or unreal as our line of rickshaws silently wended their way through the nar row streets, the mud walls of the buildings looking more somber than ever in the gloom of night. We made an interesting picture—at loast it was to me—the twinkling lights of the rickshaws, the moon, the white clad coolies. Silence seemed to be the only word for it; even the coolies stopped their usual chatter. And that is China, a night like that, and you are fascinated. Then the next day there is an exe cution on the public highway and the headless body is left by the executioner to be disposed of as the rabble deems fit—and you are dis gusted. ” LAST DISCUSSION MEETING TO BE HELD TONIGHT AT HUT “The last meeting of the discus sion group studying India will be tonight at 5 o’clock in the Y. M. C. A. hut instead of at the Bunga low,” announced Delores Pearson, leader of the group. A good at-1 tendance is desired, as Miss Sylvia Hurd, who has recently come from India, is to take charge of the meet ing and lead the discussion on cul ture of India, its art, music and ■ literature.

Phi Beta Kappa Officer Visits Campus in interest Of National Fraternity (Continues from pane one) thirty years after the organization of the society, three of the seven justices of the United States Su preme Court were members.

Phi Beta Kappa contemplates a memorial to the Fifty Founders at the College of William and Mary, the birthplace of Phi Beta Kappa. This campaign is to continue five years. It is a fitting celebration of the fraternity’s 150th anniver sary which approaches, that sueh a project should be started at this time. The Memorial building is to contain an auditorium for the uses of the college, rooms for the enter tainment of guests, and a fire-proof room for the exhibition and pre servation of Phi Beta Kappa me morbilia.
