MG CROSKEY TO SPEAK
ON PEACE PROBLEM
Title-winning Speech to Be
Given Over Radio
“The Last Milestone” is the title
of the radio lecture broadcast Fri
day flight at 8 o’clock from ra
dio KGW of the Morning Oregon
ian by Benoit McCroskey, freshman
in pre-law and winner of the state
oratorical contest. That there is
today no problem so pressing, so
perplexing, or so paramount as that
of peace will be the theme of the ad
dress the speaker will give to the
radio audience.
McCroskey believes that today
far from profiting from the recent
upheaval, the nations of the world
have outwardly sighed disarma
ment agreements, but in reality
watch their neighbors with a wary
and distrustful eye. “There was a
time when waT was a normal state
of society and the chief concern of
every able bodied man. There was
a time when intolerance was law,
when diabolical deeds typified true
patriotism, and when to be a for
eigner was to be an enemy,” ac
cording to the message that the
champipn state orator will convey to
his radio audience.
He will point out that every treaty
and international conference, weak
though it may be, marks a con
scious effort to break down race
prejudice which inevitably leads to
war.
The problems of the world have
become the problems of the United
States and the other countries of
the world. There is no such thing
as isolation. We are bound to have
an interest in foreign relations.
The nations of the world are com
mercially and economically de
pendent upon each other.
The question of settling wars is
not a question of force, McCroskey
believes. He will tel his listeners
that the force already exists. The
question is the application and di
rection of the force along right
channels, say the League of Na
tion 8.

A Student Friendship Pilgrimage
to Europe is being planned for the
coming summer by the executive
committee of the national organi
zation of the Y. W. C. A. During
her. recent visit upon the campus,
Miss Elsie Heller, national secretary
for the northwest field, had with
her a letter from the national com
mittee which stated that the pil
grimage is “open to members of
our movement who want to know
students in other countries and who
would like to know some of the po
litical, economic and religious prob
lems of the countries in Europe
first hand.”
The journey ip to be one of pleas
ure as well as study and through j
the arrangements of Mr. Hoffman
of the World’s Student Christian
Federation offiee, committees of
members of the Student Movement
will aet as hosts in each, country,
visited. These committees will ar
range sight-seeing expeditions and
meetings. Countries included in the
itinerary are: England, France,
Germany, Holland, Switzerland,
Italy, Austria and Czecho-Slovakla.
Among the meetings and confer
ences to be attended are included:
The British Student Conference;

they will meet with members of the
Boman Catholic Student Movement,
so that they may learn the relation
of the Roman church to present day
problems, Several days will be
spent in Geneva to study interna
tionalism in all its aspects.
Upperclassmen, faculty members
and Y. W. C. A. leaders are eligible
to join the pilgrimage. Students
will have the preference. Already
several students and instructors
have indicated intentions of going.
There are two girls from California,
Miss Heller announced and probably
there will be one or two from the
Pacific northwest. The party will
sail from New York July '1 on the
Aquitania and will return via the
S. 8. Berengaria, arriving ‘in New
York August 21. The cost will be
$545 for the trip with $100 extra
for personal expenses including the
passport, if they are 20 in the party.
If, however, the party includes only
ten, expenses will be $25 more. Fur
ther details may be had by com
municating with Miss Magowan at
the campus Bungalow.
HOWARD HOBSON HEADS TEAM
WITH .523 BATTING AVERAGE
Howard Hobson, steller second
baseman of the Oregon baseball
nine, tops the batting list so far
this season with the high average
of .523. The offensive work of
Hobson up to date has been one of
the sensations of the season; he has
collected 11 hits in 21 times at bat
for a total of 14 bases. He also
leads his teammates in base steal
ing with a total of .four, and is
tied at two each,,with Frank Rein
hart and Freddy West for the most
two-baggers.
Rex Adolph comes next to Hob
son on the batting list with a fat
average of .473. Rex has collected
nine hits out of 19 times at bat for
a total of 12 bases. Adolph has
been the only one on the team so
far this season to knock a home
run. The best part of Adolph’s
playing has been on the defense.
He has handled 48 chances at first
base without an error.
Next on the batting list comes
Sam Cook, with an average of 300.
Sam has kept his name in the 300
column by hitting safely in every
game so far.
Following Sam, comes Jack Bliss
with a batting average of 285.
Jack’s average took a drop in the
last game when he failed to get a
hit. Jack leads the team in three
base hits with a total of three.
Frank Reinhart has collected the
most runs for the team with a to
tal of six to his credit. Frank’s
hitting has taken a slump in the
last two games, but he should hit
his stride soon and climb into the
300 class before the season doses.
He has received the most bases on
balls with a total of five.
Following are the batting and
fielding averages of the team up
to date:

ARTICLE BY PACKARD
Geologic Development of
Oregon is Subject
The Sunday Oregonian is publish
ing a series of articles on Oregon
geology written by the professors of
geology in the University. The
third of the series, describing the
geological development of the state,
which appeared as a featured story
an Sunday’s paper, was written by
Professor Earl L. Packard, profes
sor of historical geology.
“The highway traveler could
scarcely hope for a better introduc
tion to the geologic features and
the geologic history of the state
than is afforded him as he enters
the Siskiyou portal,” says Profes
sor Packard in the story. “Ascend
ing the long winding grade from
the Cottonwood tributary of the
Klamath river, he passes in rapid
succession layer upon layer of rock
representing the foundation and
even the super-structure of a moun
tain range. Then as he glides down
into the welcome shade of the north
ern slope of the Siskiyous, the ge
ologic sequence is passed over in re
verse order and the antoist 'may re
view the evidence of events that
transpired even before the birth of
the Cascade range.”
' The story told by these rocks
begins with the metamorphosed
sediments that were laid down ap
proximately 30,000,000 years ago.
The great lost interval of Oregon
geology, marked by the upheaval
'and subsequent erosion of great
mountain systems; the Paleozoic
sea that is thought to have swept
‘across southern Oregon; and the life
of the seas of that time, as recorded
in the rocks, are interpreted and
explained.

IAN CAMPBELL SENDS
SAMPLES OF MINERAL
Samples of serendibite, a rare
mineral have been received by Dr.
Edwin T. Hodge, professor of
economic geology, recently from Ian
Campbell, a graduate of the depart
ment. Mr. Campbell received his
bachelor’s degree here in 1922, and
his master’s degree in 1924. Last
year he acted as a graduate assist
ant in Northwestern university,
and now he is studying at Harvard,
under Professor Palachi, for his
doctor’s degree.
BICHARDS TO BEAD PAPER
BEFORE PHI DELTA KAPPA
In the article in yesterday’s
Emerald concerning the coming
meeting of Phi Delta Kappa, the
statement that a paper would be
read by Dr. Raymond H. Wheeler,
was erroneous. The paper, which
will be on the “Functions of the
Endocrine Glands,” twill be read
by Oscar W. Richards, instructor
in the department of zoology.
$25 PRIZE IS OFFERED
FOR INDIAN ESSAY
Award Will Be Given By
Mrs. Ada Millican
Mrs. Ada B. Millican, of Eugene,
student and friend of the American
Indian, yesterday announced that
she would offer a prize of $25
for the best essay on some phase of
the general subject “Our First
Americans.” “Details of the contest
will be announced later as worked
out,” Mrs. Millican said. The con
test will be conducted under the di
rection of the faculty committee on
awards.
Since so little of the present col
lege year remains, the contest will
be held next year. It is the idea
of the donor, however, that anyone
interested in the Indian might avail
himself of part of his vacation per
iod to acquire some first-hand in
formation on the original inhabit
ants of this country.
“Some of the students,” said
Mrs. Millican, “might be willing to
spend a part of their vacation on
Indian reservations adjacent to
their homes where 'they could
collect information of value in con
nection with the contest.”
The essays are to be 2,000 words
in length. It is Mrs. Millican’s
hope that essays worthy of publi
cation will be produced.
The donor of this latest prize is
chairman of the Indian welfare
committee of the Oregon State
Federation of Women’s (flubs, a
position she has held for four years.
She has been interested in Indian
education and welfare for more
than a quarter of a century. She
has had six years of experience as a
teacher of Indians in Utah, Ari
zona, and Washington; and is par
ticularly interested in Indian arts
and crafts, and is also the collector
of the specimens of Indian handi
craft on display in the Woman’s
building. She was formerly a stu
dent in the University.
