fl LEADERS TO BE GUESTS Miss Thompson Will Be Here Again From Berkeley OTHERS OF NOTE COMING Cabinet Council Will Hold Session May 1,2, 3 Among the guests at the Y. W. C. A.

W. C. A. secretary at O. A. C., and Jen elle Vandervort, senior at Willam ette, chairman of the Seabeck di vision. Miss Thompson has her head quarters at Berkeley, Calif., where she is employed mainly with the foreign-born group of students in connection with her work as a mem ber of the friendly relations com mittee. This committee is in touch with all the colleges and univer sities on the Pacific coast. Has Traveled Much “Miss Thompson is a woman who has traveled a great deal,” Miss Florence Magowan, secretary of the campus organization, said. “She has spent several years in '.lie Orient.” Helen Andrews, who is in charge of the conference, describes Miss Thompson as “quite individ ual, striking and just herself.” Miss Thompson was present at the Y. W. C. A. banquet last term and made many friends among the students. In the position of national secre tary of the northwest field Miss Heller has had occasion to visit the Oregon campus two or three times a year. She is well known by most of the Y. W. C. A. members, espe cially the world fellowship commit tee with which she met during the winter term. She was also present at the Y. W. C. A. banquet and once during the fall term. “Katherine Seay is a delightful southern girl,” Miss Magowan says. “This is her first year at O. A. C. and the two years previous she was assistant secretary at the Univer sity of Minnesota.” In Touch With Students As a representative of the north west to the national convention in New York City last April and again in December, Miss Janelle Vander vort, chairman of the Seabeck di vision, has been in close touch with students in all parts of the country. “She is a very interesting girl, and probably knows more about the Y.

A. 0., Willamette Uni versity, Linfield college, Pacific University and Pacific college. Student Remembers Sea Life; Tales of Foreign Lands Told (Continued from page one) Tlio aea is not nil fury, how over, ns is proven from the follow ing everp from Nance’s diary: “The sun came up at about 4 a. m. today. First the East began to blush like the cheek of a girl very young. Then came faint rays of primrose that changed presently to golden bars, through which the dawn glided out over the tumbled wastes of the sea. The stars grew pale, niul paler still, till at last they vanished: the golden moon waxed wan till it was but a faint crescent high in the sky. Then came spear upon spear of light, flashing far away across the bound less deeps, piercing and firing the veils of mist, till the sea was draped in a tremulous golden glow, and it was day.” In spite of the beautiful descriptions in his diary, Mr. Nance denies any poetical in clinations. When asked if he agreed with the statement recently made in an interview by Kap Kuhn concerning the pulchoitnde of the women of various countries, Mr. Nance re plied in the negative. Personally, he thinks that the American wo men as a whole excel those of any other nation. This statement was given somewhat grudgingly, Mr. Nance apparently being a mis ogynist. PLAY GIVEN AT UNIVERSITY HIGH PROVES SUCCESSFUL The “Florist Shop,” a short play given Friday bv the Girl Re serves of the University high school, proved a financial success according to their reports. The play brought in approximately fourteen dollars and the girls are now en deavoring to book it in several other small towns. MODERN HISTORY IS HOBBY OF FORMER OREGON STUDENT Clinton Howard, Rhodes Scholar, Gives Recipe for Success; Stresses Need tt> Read and Think The person who is being inter viewed should usually be discovered in some unconventional pose. He should then offer some hurried ex cuse, of which the reporter later writes with glee, and the inter viewed has thereby won his way in to the affections of the readers. He is human. Clinton Howard was not posing. The reporter reached the Rhodes scholar’s room, before the scholar. ] But the subject of the interview had been out on a rather unconven tional quest. He had been collect ing his belongings, which certainly ! must become scattered after four I years in a university town. Clinton Howard was about to de part for his home in Berkeley, Cali fornia. Although examinations were yet to be overcome, he was confident (though not sure) that he would be able to graduate. Now there would be a visit, at home, and preparations for three years at Ox ford. The hurried excuse was of | fered, the reporter told to ask what | lie wished, while the interviewed packed his belongings. The proper question would be “to what do you attribute your suc cess, Mr. Howard?” But that, the reporter decided, would come later. It is always well to start at the beginning. Personal history, that’s always good reading, and then ideas and ideals. Howard’s early education was re ceived in Portland. This was the overwhelming mass of personal his tory the reporter received. But the ideas evolving from the man’s edu cation proved far more interesting. Modern History is one of Clinton Howard’s hobbies, the main one. His reason,—“you can’t understand the present without knowing the past; you can’t understand life without understanding its origins.” The best attitude in the study of history is moderation, Howard be lieves. The study can become a fetish otherwise. But the study of the past in relation to current events is an engrossing hobby for Oregon’s latest Rhodes scholar. It was the dosire to keep in ac tive touch with tho times that prompted Howard to enter the school of journalism. As he ex plained it, he wanted to learn to write “and the active touch of journalism with everyday life ap pealed to mo.” It is his intention to write independently, or to aim at the work of tho foreign correspond ent, for the routine work of the reporter does not fit into How lard’s scheme of a desirable life work, no more than teaching does, according to his declaration. To those who believe that only tho honor students get tho worth while out ‘of education, Cfljnton Howard is an emphatic denial. He states in a matter-of-fact way that he has had “skirmishes with pro fessors over desultory studying.” Yet Clinton Howard’s education is probably much broader than that of the average college graduate. His recipe for success is simple: moderation in both study and ac tivity, taking enough time “to ob serve, read and .think more than anything else.” Howard throughout his years at college made it a point to digest well that which he has learned, and this, lie declared, is to be his future policy. “It is es sential,” he declared, in the unhesi tating manner that marks all his replies to questions, “to transfuse what you learn with life. Head knowledge will in time suffocate a man, mentally.” To Clinton Howard, Oxford means only “a continuation of what T have done here, with in creased powers to do it.” Kssen jtiallv all universities are alike, is the belief of the scholar. For ex pressing similar sentiment, Howard was once accused of idealizing the j University of Oregon. “I denied I this,” he said, “because T think what is true here is true in every j university. You find just what j you go there to get. Tn every uni versity there are opportunities open to everyone who wants to go after them.” The usual idea of college as a place where students enter as rough lumber on a moving track, and A NEW (30 Minute Drying) FLOOR LACQUER Easy to Put On and Gives a Lustrous Finish SEE US ABOUT IT OXNER’S Paint Store Phone 348 8th & Olive Sts. ! come out of the mill polished, is untrue, in Howard’s belief. He is firmly convinced that every man gets out of college just what he goes there to get. He does not think that lie can get out of Ox ford any more than he got at Ore gon, nor can any man, unless he goes after more, and Oxford, he believes, offers wider powers for work, but nothing else. Howard will enter Oxford at the beginning of the Michaelmas term, beginning October 8, of this year. His scholarship will extend over a three-year period, during which time the Oregon graduate intends to see much of Europe, and to “study and know it intelligently,” as he put it. Oxford scenes will not come as total surprises to Howard, who has liberally supplied himself, in the thorough manner that is quite characteristic of his general atti tude, with much literature telling of the school’s history and work, and presenting views of the inter esting parts of the colleges. These the Rhodes man presented for the reporter’s inspection, describing the location, and architecture of each building in a manner that would bo worthy of one who had visited the places of which he spoke, not one, but several times. Howard’s plans call for a thor once, but several times, means of bicycle, in which he ex pects to be joined by friends who will visit England during his resi dence there. He also intends to visit certain of the continental lands, hoping to gain thereby, not only - the pleasure that the sight seer gets in visiting the scene of this important battle or that, but in learning to know each land, and understand it. For Clinton How ard is a student of current events, and a keen observer of all that goes on in the world in which he lives,—and his is a wide world. R. O. T. C.

Professor E. H. Decker, of the law school, believes this year’s con test will be very interesting. “Last year the contest was good,” he Baid. “We expect the one this year to be equally so.” Paul Patterson won the prize last year. Many law students have signi fied their intention of attending the contest and all students of this school are urged by Dean Hale to be present.
