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

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.

tost and are asked to report at the

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.
Many among its women members
have attained prominence. Presi
dents Woolley and Pendleton of
Mount Holyoke and Wellesley, and
Dean Gildersleeve of Barnard have
for a decade or more been mem
bers of the Phi Beta Kappa senate.
Marion E. Park, recently inaugur
ated president of Bryn Mawr, and
Ida L. Comstock, who holds a like
position at Eadcliff, are members,
as is Florence E, Allen, who was in
November, 1922, elected judge of
the Supreme Court of Ohio.
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.
