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. Cabinet Council, May 1, 2 and
3, who will take an active part in
the program are Miss Harriet
Thompson, chairman of the friendly
relations committee on the Pacific
coast; Miss Elsie Heller, national
secretary of the Northwest student
department; Katherine Seay, Y. W.
C. A. secretary at O. A. C., and Jen

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.
W. C. A. work than any other stu
dent in the northwest,” declared
Miss Magowan.
Other guests on the campus will
be members of the Y. W. C. A. cab
inets from O. 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

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

!
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.

LI STUDENTS TO VIE
IN OBJITORY CONTEST
Prize of $50 to Be Awarded
For Winning Discourse
Three law students, Rupert Bul
livant, Janies King and M. E.
Dickey, are to match wits and ora
tory on the evening of May 4, to
determine who shall take the honor
and a stable prize of $50 in the
Hilton extemporaneous speaking
contest which was postponed from
last Thursday.
The abolition of the jury system
in civil trials in Oregon has been
selected as the topic for the legal
discourses, and the future of this
established system in this common
wealth will hang in the balance.
The contest is the third of the
annual speaking meets to be held
in the law school. Frank H. Hilton,
prominent attorney of Portland, is
the donor of the prize.
Contestants are to be judged on
the best all-around extemporaneous
speech. Judges have not been an
nounced, but the last will probably
include a University faculty mem
ber, a Eugene attorney, and a third
member from Portland.
The contest will follow the law
school dinner which has been an
nounced o» the evening of May 4.
The dinner and contest will be held
at the Anchorage. A price of 65
cents is to be charged per plate.
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.

Dean Henry D. Sheldon of the

President Campbell, thanked the
workers and the student body at
large for the • splendid showing
made.
Activity in the drive has now
ceased, with the exception of a few
straggling pledges which are com
ing in. Robert Mautz has re
quested that all student Union
workers turn in immediately all
pledges and receipt books, in order
that the committee may straighten
up the records of the campaign.

WONT YOU HAVE A PICKLE?
Sweet pickles, sour
pickles, vinegar pickles,
pickle relish, dill pickles,
—all kinds. Everybody
has a special fondness for
some kind of pickle.
Everyone craves pickles
at times.
A relish completes a
slice of hot roasted pork;
a dill pickle gives just
the right taste to a picnic
sandwich of freshly cur
ed ham: a sour pickle
seems made for small, ten
der mutton chops.
A pickle cut up with
green peas and tender
string beans and mixed
with mayonnaise makes a
delicious salad. Pickles
cut in the potato salad or
mixed with cold meat for
a sandwich filler makes
everyone like the meals in
the open.
A can of your favorite
pickles will help you plan
satisfactory meals. We
can provide you with anjr
