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.

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

of timo in 1924, is announced by
Dan E. Clark, assistant director of
the extension division. This year
556 courses have been completed,
as compared with 432 for last year.
The increase in enrollment for the

ures show registration in 1548.
One hundred more completed les

ber this year, 2100, was received in
August by tho extension division.
Last month 104 students enrolled

tho Aran Islands off the coast of
Ireland is tho thorne of “Ridors to
tho Sea.” Maurya, who is the
mother, is the victim of life in this
far away island. 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.
According to Dean Esterly stu

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.

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. Folk dancing is

taught during one period, apparatus'
work in another, games in a third,
and swimming in the last. 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.
