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.

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

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.”

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,

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.

Physical Education Men Will
Play Lawyers
The loud challenge issued by the
champion lawyers’ baseball nine to
meet any team on the campus in a
game of basketball has been heard.
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.”
