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

nition service for new Y. W. C. A.

“GOLD RUSH” DECLARED
NEW CHAPLIN TRIUMPH
j> Surpassing his previous perform
ances, Charles Chaplin enters a new
field in dramatic-comedy in “The
Gold Rush,” now showing at tho
McDonald theatre. 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

nual doughnut sale, from 8 to 4

nferce building to give the best
service. The doughnuts are to sell

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.

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.

IF your hair lacks natural gloss
and lustre, or is difficult to
keep in place, it is very easy to
give it that rich, glossy, refined
and orderly appearance, so essen
tial to well-groomed men.
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.

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.
