Books of Various Interests Read By Students Sciences, Sociology, Classics, Athletics Are Subjects One- cannot generalize about the reading done by undergraduates In college. There is no well directed tendency whereby one can say, “Students like this or that kind of a book.” This is the conclusion drawn after questioning 20 men students as to what they read. Each student follows his own particular bent or interest in his reading. One will read tho modern “stuff” as it comes off the press, another is interested in sociology, and another in the drama, and so it goes—each one reading as his own inclinations direct him. Although students do not read the same kind of books, they have common characteristics in their reading. Of those interviewed, about half confessed that they did no reading while in school. One man frankly said that he was not interested in reading. Others made the excuse that they did not have time to read. Two of the latter expressed the desire to read, but said that they seemed never to have gotten over the initial inertia of starting. A common characteristic of those who do read is that they tend to read better books than the books whose titles are given in the ord inary general book reviews. They have acquired the ability to dis criminate. There was one man however, who liked Zane Grey and other western fiction writters bet ter. Relatively few general books, that is, those of general cultural in terest were read. The student de velops his interest and reads along certain lines, not spreading him self over a wide field. Most of those interviewed had more than one field in which they read, how ever. One man proved the excep tion, he read only books like “The Divine Lady” and “The Glorious Apollo,” by Barrington, and “The Life and Death of Cleopatra,” by Ferval. One man read books on European history and the works of the “mod erns” such as Anderson, Arlen, Dell, Hecht, Hamsun, and O’Neil. Another read books on China and books such as Goldenweiser’s “Early Civilization,” Taylor’s “Primitive Culture,” and Boas’, “The Mind of Primitive Man.” The common impression that ath letes are less inclined to read than other students was not verified by the investigation. Although they do not read as much as some of the others, it is because they haven’t the time, and are too tired to read if they did have time. This rule does not apply to men engaged in other activities, as it ' was found that two of the busiest men read the most. „ Beading is not confined to cour ses or majors, nor to certain types of students, nor to classes. It is an individual thing. Some freshmen read as much as some seniors. One characteristic which disting uishes the freshmen from other stu dents is their habit of reading magazines. This is a survival of a habit formed before coming to the University. The frosh,. seem to have an affinity for College Hu mor. Of the numerous publications, Life and Judge are more commonly read. The Saturday Evening Post is the most prominent “popular” magazine, with the Bed Book and Cosmopolitan following. The “Lit erary” magazines are very seldom read. RECOGNITION SERVICE OF Y. W. IS THURSDAY A distinctly new type of recog nition service for new Y. W. C. A. members will be held in the Bung alow Thursday at 4:30 p. m. The program will include music by a quartet, and scriptural readings which will be given by representa tives of old and new members.

Chaplin com bines in the picture, which was written by himself, supreme humor and pathos. His art is outstanding throughout, and the picture rises far above the average comedy. The experiences of the doughty pros pector are presented in a manner that is unusual to the screen, a way that presents the hardships in a set ting of humor, arousing in the viewer at once conflicting feelings. Chaplin proves himself a master of the cinemjc art in producing a com edy that while humorous is far re moved from the slapstick. Serious thought has evidently been applied to comic situations, giving the picture a smoothness and continuity that earns for it the praise that critics have been prac tically unanimous in offering. HUNGRY STUDENTS MAY EAT THURSDAY Rain or shine members of Theta Sigma Phi have devised a plan whereby every student and faculty member on tho campus n\ay be sure of getting a doughnut Thursday when the organization holds its an nual doughnut sale, from 8 to 4 o ’clock. Every building is to be visited 'and a table maintained at the main library and another at the com nferce building to give the best service. The doughnuts are to sell for five cents each. The six active members of the group are Margaret Vincent, Esther Davis, Marian Lowry, Betty Cady, Mildred Carr, Helen Reynolds, Wad leigh. The seven pledges are Mary Conn, Grace Eisher, Minnie Fisher, Alice Kraeft, Genevieve MJoiJgan, Riuth Gregg, Eiandes Bourhill. Marian Lowry is in charge of the sale. OR SHINES GIVE $125 TO CITY NEE0Y Police Matron Has Fund For Holiday Cheer In one of the banks of Eugene, thero is a deposit of $125 in a city charity fund to be checked out for the benefit of the poorer families of the city. This represents the money cleared Junior Sliino Day, November 18. For the past four years the junior class has set aside a day for a shoe shining campaign, the proceeds of which are given to Mrs. M. S. Adv, police matron, to help in her work. “Tho city has no Christmas fund,” said Mrs. Ady, “but this money donated by the students as sures me of the greater part of my Christmas fund. Now I feel as though I could begin planning, could visit my families and see what is needed. There is no rea son why every child in town should not have his treats and toys as well as the substantial things I always like to put in Christmas baskets.” Mrs. Ady, although busy classi fying the stores of old garments which come for distribution as Christmas draws near, stopped to express her sincere appreciation of the work done by tho junior men and women. More old clothing was turned in even as she talked. BEND PRINTS LATIN PAPER In answer to a report, by Alfred Powers, assistant director of the Extension Division, recently print ed in the Emerald, concerning the fact that there was no Latin paper printed in the ytato of Oregton, Helen Car^n, ’22, now a teacher in the Bend high school, writes that her class in Latin published a paper last year written entirely in Latin.

Just rub a little Glosbora through your hair once or twice a week,—or after shampooing,and your hair will then stay, each day, just as you comb it. Glostora softens the hair and makes it pliable. Then, even stub born hair will stay in place of its own accord. It gives your hair that natural, rich, well-groomed effect, instead of leaving it stiff and artificial looking as waxy pastes and creams do. Glostora also keeps the scalp soft, and the hair healthy by re storing the natural oils from which the hair derives its health, life, gloss and lustre. Try it! See how easy it is to keep your hair combed any style i you like, whether brushed lightly or combed down flat. If you want your hair to lie down particularly smooth and tight, after applying Glostora, simply moisten your hair with water before brusliing it. A large bottle of Glostora costs but a trifle at any drug store. Qlostora JUNIOR WOMEN TIE SOPHOMORES FOR LEAD The sophomore and junior first teams virtually tied for the girls’ inter-class volley 'ball yhampion ship, when the junior first team de feated the senior first team yes terday by a score of 40 to 29, and the sophomore first team defeated the senior second team by a score of 39 to 18. This gives the juniors five victories and one defeat, and the sophomores four victories and one defeat. The sophomores play their final game with the freshman second team next Thursday, but it is conceded that they will win. The senior first team has now two defeats chalked up and is out of the running. A fast and exciting game was played by the sophomore and fresh man second teams and although the freshmen won with a score of 34 to 21, tho sophomores played with only five girls. Tho junior third team, and the senior third team defaulted to tho sophomoro fourth team.

ALUMNUS WRITES Letters come in to the alumni office from various parts of. the country and even of tlio world. Mrs. Stanley 6. Roscoe, ’17, (Martha Beer Boscoo) wrote recently from her home in Upper Mattolo, Cali fornia, in Humboldt County.
