STUDY CROUPS END WORK SOON Talks Lead to Gathering Of Background Material For Next Year’s Efforts EXPERT GIVES ADVICE Different Phases of Life In Ten Countries Object Of Fellowship Meetings The end of a successful routine is being rapidly gained by the World Fellowship discussion groups. “I think our groups have been very successful,” said Ellen McClellan, chairman of the World Fellowship committee. “I feel that our groups this year have been more presenta tions of material, rather than dis cussions of. problems. However, I feel that the countries we have studied have given a good founda tion for next year’s work. "We haven’t attempted to cover the countries thoroughly, only to interest girls so they will do other research work and study on their own initiative. Hue to the fact that we have had Miss Louks, who is an expert on discussion groups, here to advise us, we feel that the leaders next year will be competent to carry on real discussions, rather than mere presentations. Discus sion must deal with situations which have two sides, whereas presenta tions present only the facts,” she said. “Discussions are made more interesting by the intermingling of different ideas; agreement is the pitfall of discussion. Girls Brought Together One of the big things which the discussions have accomplished for the good of the whole campus, Miss McClellan thinks, is that it has brought girls in contact with each other who otherwise would never have become acquainted. Girls from different living organizations at tended meetings of the discussion groups and thereby broadened their acquaintenances. The discussion groups were under the organiza , tion of the Y. W. C. A. The leaders were: Katherine Reade, Australia; Josephine Evans, Argentina; DeLoris Pearson, India; Frances Dodds, Norway; Edna Spenker, Turkey; Genevieve Chase, Switzerland; Maxine Koon, Italy; Gladys Calef, Korea; Oneita Wirtz, Mexico; Elsie Bolt, Poland. Ten meetings were held, each time taking up a different phase of life in the particular country studied. FINE URTS BUILDING DRIVE TO BEGIN SOON The drive to raise funds for the erection of a fine arts building on the campus will begin during spring vacation. The campus committee in charge consists of Mrs. George T. Gerlinger, Virginia Judy Esterly, dean of women, and Georgia Ben son. The plans of the committee in volve the organization by counties of the entire state, with each town represented in its county committee. There will be an undergraduate chairman in each county, and it is expected that there will also be an alumni chairman for each commit tee. The drive will extend over a per iol of three years. Funds will be raised by pledges, cash donations, parties given for money making, and gifts for a bazaar to be held in Portland at. some future date. President P. L. Campbell has sup plied the campaign slogan, “There are times in a man’s life when beauty is the most useful thing in the world.” Bean Esterly has said that they expect the representative of each town to give a report after spring vacation, and that they would more than appreciate volunteers to help in the campaign work.

Mr. Graham contrasted the Italian’s dictatorship with that practiced bv Mr. Lenin. The Lenin dictatorship was considered the moro radical of the two.

PIPE LINE INSTALLED FROM RACE TO CAMPUS The water pipe line connecting the campus with the mill race is at last installed in its new place, lead ing from the University heating plant under the railroad tracks and Pacific highway to the race. The work of moving the pipe line from its former place near the old heating plant has taken several weeks of hard labor owing to the disagreeable weather conditions un der which the tunneling had to be done. The pumps are ready and will be connected the latter part of this week, stated H. M. Fisher, superintendent of grounds. The en tire campus grounds are supplied with water from the race by this system. COLD EPIDEMIC SPREADS OVER UNIVERSITY CAMPUS The unsettled weather of this week, coming on top of the ex posure of the numerous trips to basketball games over the week end, has resulted in a considerable epidemic of colas on the campus, ac cording to Dr. G. A. Ross. The Uni versity dispensary has been very busy treating colds of various de grees of seriousness this week. The chlorine gas treatment as well as the other cold treatments, have been unusually well attended during the past few days. Late hours of study due to the extreme nearness of examinations is an other possibility which is advanced as a possible cause of the cold epidemic. MAJORITY OF VASSAR GIRLS WANT SMOKING LENIENCY Yassar College.—If smoking cig arettes can be taken as a basis of judgment, Vassar’s campus is in a still moro degenerate state than the Michigan campus. Tabulations in dicated that 524 girls asserted that they did not use tobacco while 433 admitted that they indulged oc casionally. A campus vote was tak en to ascertain whether or not the girls wished the present rules bar ring smoking on or off the campus to be made more lenient.

Wise Sees Value In College Forces; No Symbols Needed Today (Continued from paoe one) reason. There was a spirit of grim humor, of facetiousness, the speak er said, that uplifted the phoenix like experience. New Youth Buies By the 19th century, childhood pointed out, and “old-man councils and youth had faded again, he had come together to rule the af fairs of men.” But new youth came again at the end of the century, and the 20th century is a time of ma turity for that period, he said. “The spiritual enterprise of such men as Darwin, rather than his facts, are being used as means of thinking,” Rabbi Wise said in speaking of the liberation of human energy and expressing the new power that people used to think should be restrained. “If you have in your four years here attained that higher spiritual and intellectual plane,” the Rabbi warned in concluding, “you will be able to go back to the village from which you came and not find it too small to live in, or to serve its mem bers.” Senior Women to Hold Sway Over Dates; Leap Week to Be Held Soon I - ! (Continued from page one) Saturday, a picnic at Coburg Bridge, depending on the condition of the weather. The Kappa Alpha Theta and Delta Gamma houses are also arranging for participation in an event to be arranged later. Senior Leap week has become a traditional affair at the University, having been instituted three years ago. Previously, it has been ar ranged during the fall term, but it is thought that even greater suc cess will attend it in the spring. From April 1 to 4, the senior girls hold full sway as to dates. Dates are not to be made until the night of Open House, when, contrary to regular Open House, the girls visit the men’s houses. As in some houses there are only one or two senior girls, it is ar “Pass the Butter Please” Did you ever eat homemade bread, still warm from the oven and spread with smooth creamy butter, half melted, accompanied perhaps by a tall glass of frostly lemonade? Did you ever sneak a piece of butter when you were a kid in the kitchen and Mother wasn’t looking. Did you ever? Of course you did- and if you are usuing Blue Bell butter now you are just as fond of it as you were of that other. BLUE Bell is the kind of butter that makes every body ask for more.
