By Lylah Lou McMurphey. Our campus seems quite desertec now that the week-end guests havi departed, and such a short time re mains until Thanksgiving that w< will scarcely have time to get set tied in the regular routine agaii before vacation. The past week was quite merry with an unusuallj large number of dances due to Arm istice day vacation and the many activities of Homecoming. The coming week-end will be the last one open to house dances this term so that many are on schedule for Friday evening, while Saturday is being reserved for the Sophomore informal. Perhaps one of the lar gest teas of the week will be that for which members of Alpha Phi will be hostess Thursday afternoon as a special courtesy to Mrs. Henry Augustine, their housemother. * * * At an informal dinner for which Miss Frances Pierce was hostess last week, ’the engagement of Miss Virginia Owens was announced to Mr. Richard M. Lyman. In the lovely corsages of vio lets and roses at each place were tiny cards revealing the secret. A large corsage of orchids and roses and the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity pin of Mr. Lyman were presented’ to Miss Owens. Miss Owens, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. D. Owens of Port land is a former student here and Mr. Lyman, a senior here this year, is affiliated with Phi Gamma Del ta. His home is in- Cleveland, Ohio. The wedding will be an event of the summer. Last week at the Gamma Phi Beta and Sigma Chi houses an nouncement was made of the en gagement of Miss Berenice Davies and Mr. George Bronaugh. At the Gamma Phi house announcements of the betrothal were pasted on the underside of brilliantly-colored autumn leaves and held at each place by small candles. Miss Davies will graduate here at Christmas. Mr. Bronaugh at tended college here and is at pres ent in Washington, D. C., where he is completing his last year of law at the George Washington law .school. The wedding will occur during the late summer. Additional guests -at Ae Gamma Phi house were Mrs. Jerry Bron augh and Mrs. Charles Hardy, mother and aunt of Mr. Bronaugh. Last Saturday in Portland Miss Helen Gripper, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Gripper of Pasa dena, California became the bride of Mr. Jack Sullivan of Spokane. Both attended college here, Mrs. Sullivan being a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma and Mr. Sullivan of Bachelordon. Mr. Sullivan is in business in Spokane and after a short wedding trip they will make their home there. Of much surprise to her friends on the campus was the announce ment of the marriage of Miss Viola B. Harris of Lebanon and Boss Jackson of Fresno, Calif. Although the wedding occurred September 12, it was not made known until Sun day. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson were married in Yreka, Cal. The bride is a sophomore in the University and a pledge of Sigtaa Beta Phi; her husband formerly attended O. A. C. They left Sunday for Ash land, where Mr. Jackson is em ployed on the news staff of the Ashland Tidings. BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT TO USE GRASSHOPPERS Grasshoppers, not ordinary ones, but creatures almost three inches long, light brown in color with bril liant Tose markings and wings, will be the subjects for experimentation in the biology class next week. The class has just concluded the study of crayfish which is a cou sin of the grasshopper and very similar in structure having jointed appendages and large bodies. These long grasshoppers are shtort-lived, existing only a few months after maturity. They are sluggish and unable to fly because their bodies are heavy and their wings are ex tremely frail. Three thousand locusts which are natives of Florida, have just been received by the department. They are probably of the variety which John the Baptist ate while in the wilderness with no food available except locusts and wild honey. Ir some sub-tropical countries, fhey are pests living entirely on vege tation, according to Mrs. Harry D Yocom, of the biology department WINTERER MADE HEAD OF R. 0. T. C. CLUE Steele Winterer was elected pre; ident of the Officer’s Club of th R. O. T. C., advance course stu dents, at a meeting held Tuesdaj afternoon in the R. O. T. C. bar racks. A1 Sinclair was elected sec retary-treasurer. It was decided at the Meeting that the Officer’s Club would in vestigate the possibility of organ izing a sponsor system for the R O. T. C.- unit here. This means that each company would elect some girl on the campus who would act as sponsor for the company and would be honored at the Officer’s Ball in the winter term and at some of the parades in the spring term. Probably one parade would be given in honor of the sponsors and they would be the official review ing staff. One girl would be elect ed sponsor for the whole battalion. This would be the highest honor of the group. This system is in vogue at Washington State College, Ne braska and a number of eastern colleges and seems to be very pop ular. EIGHT CANDIDATES FOE M.A.’S A larger number of candidates are working for master’s degrees in English this year than ever before. The eight students on the Univer sity eampus are: Ruth Nelson, Lu cille Jeffrey, Mrs. Alta Hoover Margaret Whitfield, Charlotte Hi moe, Margaret Hauek, Father Odilo, and Ray Lapham. In addition to these there are a number of others working through the Portland ex tension division. HIGH SCHOOLS PUBLISH 17 LATIN NEWSPAPERS “Seventeen Latin newspapers are published by high schools in the United States,” says Alfred Pow ers, assistant director of the exten sion division, who is making a col lection of them for the division. “Most of the papers are mimeo graphed, but some have reached the dignity of print.” “Nuntius,” the “News,” is the most popular name for the news paper. Other names used include “Nunc et Hanc,” “Fragmenta La tina,” “Lingulaca,” “Latinus,” and “Pegasus.” The newspapers, according to Mr. Powers, are published by the Latin departments and students of t)xe high schools as a project to stimu late interest in the value of the study of Latin. So far, he says, there is no Latin paper published in Oregon, but Pendleton high school is planning to start one. JACK HIGH EXPRESSES APPROVAL OF PROGRAM Last year’s Homecoming chair man, Jacrf High, who was grad uated in sociology in June, is back oa the campus for the festivities of the week-end. Having directed all of the arrangements in 192i 2*, lie is vitally interested in what he believes will be the biggest cele bration yet held in honor of the •'old grads.” Among the most prominent stu dents in the University during hit college generation a member oi Friars. To-Ko Lo, Oregon Knights Ph; Mu Alpha, a member of the gler 'lub three ye irs, and president last year, besides being chairman cf Home coming, High is regarded aa representative of the younger alumni. ‘‘The Homecjn-'iig spirit, in my estimation,” he continued, “has in creased for the better every year.” At present, High is connected I with the Commercial Credit Co., of i Portland in the capacity of credit [ adjuster.

NEW FINE ARTS CLUB Art Department To Appear In Smocks Jury Day The first informal party spon sored by the newly organized fine arts club on the campus was held in the art and architecture building last Wednesday between 8 and 10 o’clock. About 30 members were present, some in costumes, others in campus clothes. Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Schroff and Mr. V. O. Hafen acted as (patrons and patroness. Stunts and dancing were features of the evening. Cider, doughnuts and cakes were served as refresh ments. This was the first meeting of the club since it was organized. At that time Miss Victoria Avakian pre sented a scheme for th<3 designing and making of smocks for the whole department aid it was accepted. The idea submitted was that the smocks as a whole should represent the spectrum with one color for each department and different shades of that color for each class enrolled in that department. It was decided that red should be the color for fine arts, yellow and green for normal art, and blue and purple for art and architecture. Black smocks will be worn by the instructors with the colors of their respective departments upon them. Orders which include smocks for the students and instructors and those visitors who will judge on Jury Day will soon be taken, and it is expected that they will be com pleted and ready to wear in time for Jury Day which will occur near the beginning of winter term. The next meeting of the club will be December 1, in Mr. Schroff’s studio where they have been invited to gather and discuss the business and interests of the club and other topics. Officers of the organization are: Bhona Williams, president; Mar garet McCarty, vice-president; and John Clapp, secretary-treasurer.

Newspapers are traced in Lake county from the Stato Line Her ald, started in 1878, up until the present. This is the first of a num ber of articles to be printed in Ex changes concerning the history of Oregon journalism, compiled by stu dents in reporting classes last year and this. An article by Prof. Glenn Hoover of the economics department also is printed in the November issue. The article gives a negativo an swer to the question “Does either duty or economic interest lead one to buy at home what can be bought more cheaply elsewhere 1” Four New Books Are Added To Rent Collection • Four new books have been added to tbe rent collection at the libra ry. They are, “Christina Alberta’s Father,” by H. G. Wells; “Fire crackers,” by Carl Van Vechten; “Hunter’s Moon,” by Ernest Poole, and “Elder Sister,” by Frank Swin . nerton. This makes a total of more than 50 books in the collection. Thirty-three of the 67 books most read by the students are devoted to fiction and the remainder to philosophy, science, history and poe try. Mrs. Mabel McClain, libra rian, reports a decided slump in reading for the last three weeks. This slump she explained does not apply to any one type of literature or to any particular group of stu dents. The whole student body is reading less of everything. At the beginning of the fall term the students were doing more read / 1 TODAY | AND WEDNESDAY S JAMES OLIVER | CURWOOD’S I • ' 1 Wonderful Novel Now || a Splendid Picture | Filmed in | Oregon | Amid the Scenic Wonders I and Beauties that only 1 Oregon possesses. j “The 1 Ancient ( ( Highway”!

PSYCHOLOlllTESTS REPORTED MUCH USED Results in other schools show that the psychological tests, which were given to University of Oregon freshmen this fall, are about as good a means of predicting Uni versity scholarships as lias been developed, says Prof. Howard R. Taylor, of the psychological depart ment, who is in charge of the test ing work. “The correlations of the psycho logical tests prepared by the Am erican Council on Education with average scholarship in various uni versities where the tests were used in 1924 indicate that they are among the best so far worked out,” says Professor Taylor. The preliminary report of tho tests which appears in the Educa tional Record for October, 1925, in cludes the University of Chicago, the University of Colorado, Dart mouth college, Mount Holyoke, tho First National presents “Playing With Souls” with MARY ASTOR CLIVE BROOK Jacqueline Logan Buster Collier, Jr. COMEDY NEWS WRIGLEYS AFTER EVERY r MEAL ^ IT affords benefit as well * > as pleasure.

The four tests in 1924 which gave the highest correlations witl* av erage scholarship were completion, arithmetic, artificial language, and opposites. This means that those who made a high score in the tests showed a fairly definite tendency to stand high in scholarship. “These four tests were retained in the 1925 addition, which we gave at Oregon,” explained Professor Taylor. “These tests are so similar to those of 1924 that we can ex pect a high score in each of the four tests to indicate average scho larship in about the same degree as the like tests given in 1924.” “With the four new tests added this year,” he said, “there is some possibility of diagnosing special aptitudes of students from test scores.
