Society By Lylah Lou MeMurphey Another holiday has come and gone. This time we are back to buckle down and study during the few remaining weeks of this term, for intervening between now and Christmas will be very few social events. This evening, Anna Case, Metro politan opera soprano, will make her second appearance in Eugene and many who enjoyed hearing her before will want to go and take their friends this time. In the "auditorium of the music building on December 10, John, Stark Evans will give a concert of Christmas music as one of a series of entertainments by Mu Phi Ep silon. # * * As a complete surpriso, comes the announcement of the marriage of Miss Mary Alice Ball, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford A. Ball of Portland, and Richard Galt Mc Lardy, son of Mr. and Mrs. D. J. McLardy, also of Portland. Both attended college hero, Mrs. McLardy being a member of Al pha Phi and Mr. McLardy of Beta Theta Pi. * * * Of interest to students here is the marriage of Miss Velma Mere dith and Everett A. Jensen, which was an event of Wednesday after noon in Portland. Miss Anna McCabe, of Seattle, was the bride’s only attendant and Clyde Meredith was best man., Ray Jensen and Clate Meredith were ushers. Mrs. Jensen attended the Uni versity two years ago and was prominent in activities on the cam pus. She is affiliated with Delta Delta Delta. A lovely Thanksgiving bride was Miss Freda Goodrich, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick W. Goodrich, whose marriage to Bue Joseph Mowrey was an event of last Wednesday afternoon in Port land. Miss Bosalia Keber and Harold Burkitt were the couple’s only at tendants. The bride is a graduate of St. Mary’s academy and of the University of Oregon, where she was a member of Alpha Chi Ome ga. Mr. Mowrey was graduated from the University in 1925 and is a member of Theta Chi. * * » Autumn fruits arranged about a pumpkin basket formed the table decorations for the Thanksgiving dinner dance at which members of Sigma Beta Phi entertained cam pus men who remained here for the holidays. Covers wore placed for twenty. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis L. Simpson were patron and patroness. KILPATRICK’S LEAVING HELD DISTINCT LOSS The recent resignation of Earl Kilpatrick, dean of the extension division and director of the Port land center of the University of Oregon, is not altogether surpris ing, thinks Karl W, Ontliank, exe cutive secretary. “The wonder is, that we have been able to keep him as long as we have,” he said today. “He has been an asset to the University, and we regret very much to see him go. Although I am sorrv to see him leave the serv ices of the University, I understand he has been offered g. very attrac tive position.” Last Day Today r HERE’S AN ARITHMETIC BOOK TO HOLD JOHNNY’S INTEREST Columbia Professor Drops Old Stuff That Made Pupils Hate Their Teachers You remember your old arithme tic. problems—how dry and bore some and how far from life they were: “If A can do a piece of work in 3 1-2 days, B in 2 1-4 days, and C in 4 1-4 days, how long would it take them all to complete the work if they combined their ef forts?” Shucks! This was not, you will recall, of a nature to tempt you away from the swimming-hole in late May; nor would it make you love the teacher who couldn’t un derstand your lack of enthusiasm for such wooden “work.” But suppose it had been some thing like this: “On the Manakin Road there lives a dog who barks for 40 min utes whenever someone goes by at night. What is the smallest num ber of passers-by that will keep him barking all night? Allow 10 1-2 hours.” Or this one about the durable con science of Ignatius Trott: “Ignatius Trott had, at the age of seven years, a conscience able to support a weight of 22 pounds, 4 ounces. The weight which it would carry increased every year there after 16 pounds, 7 ounces. What weight can his conscience support at his present ago, 47 1-2 years?” That’s the way arithmetic is coated for Johnny in “Boy’s Own Arithmetic,” a new volume by Dr. Raymond Weeks. It III problems, covering a wide range of subjects, FELLOWSHIPS LISTED FOR COLLEGE WOMEN Details May Be Obtained From Dean Esterly The American Association of Uni versity Women’s announcement for 1926-27 offers 11 fellowships, rang ing in amount from $500 to $1200.

British women are offered study in the United States by the Bose Sidgwick memorial fellowship of $1000. The Boston alumnae prize of $500 offers graduate study in Europe or America. The A. A. U. W. European fellowship of $1200 is offered to women having a de gree in arts, science or literature, carry a subtle humor and a in terest in children and animals which, added to its delightful defi niteness, give it a real human ap peal. It can be used as an auxil iary arithmetic text, though its consistent humor and occasional sallies of satire appeal ]hlso tot those who are neither boys nor arithmetic students. The scale of risibility, aroused one might say, runs all the way from a quiet smile to a laugh, as the author might put it, exerts a force of 108 pounds and rattles the dishes in a china closet 12 feet G inches dis tant for a period of 12 seconds. Which leads to a consideration of the author. The book, which as a bit of humor and of insight into human nature ranks at least- as high as it docs as an arithmetic, was written by Dr. Raymond Weeks, from Mark Twain’s state of Missouri, whose regular position is professor of Romance languages at Columbia university. The book has been added to the California state list for outside reading in arithmetic. The book is recommend ed whether you want to solve a few problems in .arithmetic or whether you want merely to give yourself and the family a few chances to smile. The illustrations, by Usa bal, are pen-sketches in the spirit of the text. The book is from the press of E. P. Dutton & Company, New York. who have met all the requirements for the Ph.D. or D.S. degree It is allowed for graduate study or re search in Europe.

Besides these, there is the Gam ma Phi Beta fellowship in social service work, for $500. A Phi Mu prize of $1000 is listed, open to all women having a degree from any university or college in which Phi Mu has a chapter.

This challenge, which was hurled to all parts of the campus, camo to the ears of tho executive offi cials of the men’s physical educa tion department, who upon hearing it went into secret session yotster dav and decided to call the law yers’ bluff. Harry A. Scott, head of tho de partment, met with his subordin ates in his inner office yesterday; and after acclaiming himself cap tain of the team, which lie thinks will be capable of taking champ ionship honors from the law school, decided to answer the challenge. “Knowing the strength of the lawyers in baseball, as shown last spring when they upset tho dope and defeated the Sportswriter’s nine by a narrow margin, we of this department would like to meet them on the .maple court,” stated Mr. Scott. “At present only four places are left on our team, as I am planning on playing captain and right for ward. These places will be easily filled, I'hope, as I have Billy Rein hart, veteran mentor of the var sity; Spike Leslie, coach of the freshman; “Speed-ball” Abercrom bie, coach of swimming and soc cer; “Dutch” Widmer, mentor of the matmen; Perry Davis, fencing instructor; Del Oberteuffer, 6 foot 6 inch instructor in hygiene; and tho veteran “Plunks” Reinhart from which to choose. FIRE RISKS OF HOUSES SHOWN BY INSPECTION The. annual fire inspection of fra ternity and sorority houses has .just been completed and a report on con ditions, filed with Dean Walker by the fire marshals. Although a de cided improvement has been made since last year, when the first in spection was made, there are some fire risks that still prevail in the houses. Several of the newer houses do not have fire escapes, according to these reports, and many of the ex tinguishers need refilling or repla cing. Basement conditions aro also bad in some of the houses, and wood ash containers were still found in several cases. The five marshals and Dean Walker both urge that these faults be remedied as soon ns possible. “In most cases,” remarked Dean Walker, “the conditions aro duo to carelessness and very little expenso will be involved in their correc tion.” There was one criticism made of every house, and that was in regard to electric fire alarms. At the last session of the state legislature a bill was passed requiring all lodg ing houses, of more than two stories or with more than a certain num ber of occupants, to install electri cally operated fire alarms in case of emergencies. No house has as yet complied with this law. If it is found defenitcly to apply to fraternity and sorority houses, Dean Walker expresses the inten tion of calling a meeting of the heads of houses and of making a contract for the installation of all. This will considerably decrease the purchase price. “I appreciate the cooperation that the houses have given in the mat ter,” stated Walker, “and I hope that next year will show as great improvement in conditions as this one has.” LEO MUNLY ARRANGES TELEPHONE MANUALS Leo P.
