NEED IS FOUND FOR MAGAZINE Success Is Dependant On Student Body Support MRS. BARNES GIVE VIEWS Merger With 0 I d Oregon Not Favored The present Student Body is large enough to support a magazine be lieves Mrs. Mary Watson Barnes, professor of English literature, former member1 of the executive committee of tho alumni council, and member of the editorial board of “Old Oregon.” “When I was a freshman on the campus we had a magazine called tho “Oregon Monthly.” It was sup ported by a much smaller campus, and I see no reason why the pres ent campus could not support a now magazine if it wishes to do so. Such a magazine would be success ful if enough people were interest ed in it. Old Oregon for Alumni “I do not believe such a magazino should bo combined with Old Ore gon,” declared Mrs. Barnes. “Old Oregon has had a struggle to estab lish itself, and it is largely through the efforts of Grace Edgington and Jeannette Calkins that it has reach ed its present standing. It is now one of tho best alumni magazines published, and since it is just what tho alumni of Oregon want, I see no reason for changing it. “Tho proposed now magazine would bo of interest to tho parents and friends of the writers, but un til tho writers have won their ‘spurs,’ I think they have no right to force themselves upon an unwill ing public, which in this case would be tho alumni, the readers of Old Oregon.” Mrs. Barnes said that if tho pro posed combination were made with Old Oregon, and it failed, it might also result in the death of Old Ore gon, which, from tho alumni view point, would bo very undesirable. Competition Not Feared Mrs. Barnes believes that under Miss Calkins’ capablo management Old Oregon would suffer not nt all as a competitor to a now campus magazine struggling for financial assistance in tho local advertising field. Such a magazine, published independently, could not bo a suc cess, according to Mrs. Barnes, if it were conducted purely as a lit erary magazine. More or less ma terial, of a sorious nature would bo needed. Tho magazino would need to be of general intorest to tho en tire campus if it were to live. Oregon-O. A. C.

Tanner, and Al ton Gabriel, of tho chemistry de partment, attended the meeting of the Oregon section of the Ameri can' Chemical Society at Portland last Saturday. Prof. O. P. Staf foul, head of the department, was unable to be present because of .’ 1 ness. It. C. Andrews, who received his master’s degree in chemistry from the University last year, pre sented a paper on “Equilibrium in the Hydrolysis of Certain Esters.” EDWIN MARKHAM GIVES AUTOGRAPHED POEMS % Edwin Markham, Oregon’s native poet, has given to the University, autographed copies of two of his most famous poems, “The Man with the Hoe,” and “Lincoln, the Man of the People,” also a book of poems entitled, “Our Israfel.” The two poems will be framed and placed in the Oregon collection room at the library. “For the library of the Univer sity of Oregon, in memory of a happy day in her classic halls,” Mr. Markham has written in the little paper bound book, and, “For the University of Oregon in memory of my mofct fortunate birthday—my first,” on the poem, “The Man with the Hoe.” The poems were accompanied by a letter from Mrs. Markham, which told of the international prize, won by her husband for the best poem written on Poe, and further ex pressed his sentiment for the Uni versity and the state of Oregon. EXTENSION DIVISION COURSES INCREASE Thirty-tTiree per cent increase in the number of courses completed no far this year, over the same period of timo in 1924, is announced by Dan E.

The increase in enrollment for the first eleven months of this year is thirteen per cent over that of last year up to the end of November.

One hundred more completed les sons were received last month by tho division than during Novem ber last year, when 940 lesson papers were received from corres pondent students. During the win ter months, Dr. Clark says, there is a slack in tho number of les sons completed. The largest num ber this year, 2100, was received in August by tho extension division.

There is an in tense religiolis foeling throughout the play, and deep emotion in tho words of tho mother when she says: “The sea can do nothing more to me now, I don’t have to worry any more.” Although she has lost six sons in the sea, her courage is still there.

LIBRARY VAULT HOLDS The vault at the University li brary is used ns a store house for books which are not needed for cir culation because of their ago or the nature of their content, according to M. II. Douglass, librarian. If tlu> University had the necessary facilities these boohs would be placed on display. A large number of books in the ! vault have been presented to the University as gifts. They are sel dom used except by students doing resaerch work, or by journalism classes as speciments of old time printing and publishing. There are in the vault several collections of Greek classics print ed in the fifteenth and sixteenth [centuries. It contains also a first edition of the works of Benjamin Jenson, printed in lf>16, which is considered one of tlio most valu able books. Of the various vol umes of Shakespeare there, the Johnson's and Steevon’s edition has the most elaborate binding. These books are bound in heavy brown leather decorated with gold emboss ed designs. Air. Douglass referred to a first edition of Mark Twain as perhaps the most expensive spec imen! to replace all those in tlio vault. AMBITIOUS PHILIPPINE STUDENT TELLS OF QUEST FOR EDUCATION Sinforoso G. Padilla came to Am erica from his home in the Philip pine lalands four years ago with exactly $24.10. Since then, he has graduated from Willamette univer sity and worked one year toward hi* master’* degree in psychology, which he will receive at the end of thi* year from the University of Oregon. “I’ve done everything from mow ing lawns, scrubbing, and working in a brickyard to preaching,” Mr. Padilla said, “in getting my edu cation'. After arriving in San Franeisco in May, 1921, I was with out work for three weeks. The T. M. 0. A. secretary who met mo took me to a hotel costing $2.50 a day, but after two days I left that and moved to a cheaper place. During the time before I found employment, I lived on bread and milk. It was quite an experience.” Finally ho obtained work, but shortly thereafter a friend paid hi* transportation to Forest Grove, where he worked all summer amd entered Pacific university in the fall. lie went to Willamette uni versity the next year, and gradu ated the year after with honors. In the fall of 1924, he came to Ore gon to work as research assistant in psychology under Dr. B. H. Wheeler, and this year he is nnder Dr. Harold B. Crosland. The problem with which he is oeenpied at present is the statis tical study of belief, “I am try ing to compare the different reli gions beliefs at different ages from childhood to college to see at what age a ehild loses his religious be liefs, if ho does,” explained Mr. Padilla. Binforo^o Padilla’s home in the Philippines is at Solano, in Nuera Vixeaya. He was graduated from the high sehool at Manila when 17 years old, and taught in, the high schools of the Islands two years before coming to this coun try. II find that America is largely what I expected it to be,” he said. “The greatest thing in American life that I see is its Christianity. One big thing that I hare learned from my stay in America is to be broad enough to overlook people’s narrowness. I find narrow-minded people everywhere in all countries. If they want to be that way, let them do as they choose.” Y. W. C. A. DIRECTOR LEAVES FOR CHICAGO H. \V. Davis, director of the cam pus Y. M. C. A. left recently for Chicago whore he .will attend a national conference of Chris tian workers from colleges and uni versities all over the United States. The conference will bo hold at what is known as Riverside, a club for social workers of Chicago located several miles outside of the city. . “This conference will be of great importance,” Mr. Davis declared before his departure, “because there will bo men there from ail the groat universities in. the United States, such as Yale, Cornell, Ohio, and others. This will give them a chance to compare notes and get information on the most up-to-date organizations in the country.” Professor Kenneth Rowo of the [English department of the Uni versity will conduct Mr. Davis s University class at the Methodist church during his absence. Mr. Davis expects to return about De cember 18.

Graves Studio FORMERLY PHOTO-KRAFT PHONE 117 R PLENTY OF TIME TO FINISH BEFORE CHRISTMAS ! BUBBLE BLOWING TEST GIVEN CHILD SWIMMERS: . - . j Students Give Instruction In , Playground Work Blowing bubbles when we’re in swimming isn’t hard for many of us. In fact it’s easy enough even if we can’t swim, but it’s one of the most difficult tasks in the world for children from five to eight years old, who are taught swimming Saturday mornings by the physical education majors tak ing the playground course. The sudden interest in bubble blowing is caused because this feat is included in the first of a series of six tests arranged by Miss E. j A. Troemel, instructor in physical j education. As badges are award-j ed for passing the tests, eompeti-j tion is high. - ' To pass the first test, the child [ must be able to blow bubbles, to float, and to make a good push off. The tests become gradually more difficult and after the sixth test is passed, the child can swim. Swimming is only one division of the work done by the majors, and the hours are divided in four half hour periods.

There ave two other groups heside the five to eight year group, this includes children from eight to ten years, and from ten to fifteen years, who do more advanced work. The lack of playground instruc tion in the Eugene schools makes it convenient for the children to receive instruction from the majors on Saturday mornings, and this practical work is of great value in their playground course.
