NET PLAYERS INTEREST CLAIMED BY SQUASH Sport Provides Means of Winter Conditioning While old Jupe Pluvius continues to pour rain out of the old sprink ling can at too frequent intervals, making the country-side wet, the varsity and freshman tennis aspir ants have out-foxed him, adopting squash as an indoor practice game. Squash is not a new game, orig inating in England. The game is similar to handball in tactics, but played with a racquet and a special ly designed ball. It is played on an indoor court the same as hand ball. It is an immensely popular sport with the eastern schools. Yale, Harvard and Columbia have made it a minor sport and have in tercollegiate competition. Squash is very valuable to any man going out for tennis in the spring. It gives him plenty of ex ercise during the winter months and keeps him accustomed to the hand ling of his racquet. According to Ed Abercrombie, tennis coach, it is too early to make any forecast for the success or failure of the sport here. Neer and Hartman, two tennis aspirants, have had pre vious experience with the game at Multnomah club. Harry Coffin, Bill Adams and Tom Cross all bid fair to develop into good players. Although squash is just in the ex perimental stage at Oregon, thore is a probability that several matches will bo scheduled. Multno mah club and Iteed college both have strong squash teams. At the present O. A. C. does not play this sport, but it is expected that it will also bo adopted this year. DR. CLARK STUDIES NORTHWEST HISTORY After spending several months in research activity in the public rec ord office and British museum Lon don, and the national library of Baris, Pr. R. 0. Clark, head of the I history department, has returned to tho campus to resume his work here. , Dr. Clark studied the records of, the Hudson Bay company to be found in the public record office in London dealing with the Pacific Northwest, particularly Oregon, gathering material for several pap ers that he plans to write, lie was able to find much documentary ma terial never used before by scholars who have written on the history of the Pacific Northwest. The records of the Hudson Bay company kept at its London office are not yet accessible for students of American history, but the com pany is now erecting a building that will house its archives, and are about to appoint an archivist to supervise and classify its docu-1 meats making them accessible to1 research workers. in addition to this the company! plans to publish a large part of its records. Dr. Clark found a great deal of information throwing light on the •early history of Oregon in tho pub lic record office and British mu seum where some of the letters and reports of officials of the Hudson ! Bay company are located. Mr. Clark arrived in London at a time when the foreign office rec ords had but recently been opened to students and he was able to gain important data regarding two prob lems of diplomacy relating to Pa cific Northwest history. The story of the settlement of tho Hudson Hay company's claims is found in documents that fill twelve volumes. He brought back photostatie copies of many of these documents. The British side of the diplomatic history of the San Juan water boundary was found collected in thirteen volumes of manuscript his tory that has never been used. Professor Clark also studied a minor problem in regard to the Ala bama claims and treaty of Wash ington in 1871. He has completed a paper on the “Mission of Sir John Rhodes” and expects to pub lish it soon. Upon the return trip he spent two weeks in Washington, D. C., examining records there. CLASSIFY 263 SPECIES Specimens Will be Placed In Zoology Museum Zoology students are classifying specimens of invertebrate animals collected during the summer ses sions of 1925 in the region of Sun set Bay, 14 miles southwest of Marshfield, Oregon. The cbllcte tors were members of the Marine i Zoology class and others interested ' in research work. Although most of the students were inexperienced 263 species of : animals representing 179 genera ] wore found. Mosks were predomi nate in the collection, there being 103 species representing 59 genera. 1 Forty-three kinds ,of [shrimp, ■ crabs and similar animals were se cured by the party. Most of their i work was done in the morning tie- i cessarily as the tide set their time j for scouting. In the evening the |. group studied and discussed the things they had discovered. An eel-like fish, really a “Wolf! Fish” was given to the class by fishermen. This creature is about six feet long and has a narrow head. The specimens collected will bo classified and put in the work ing museum of the department. It is hoped that the class can f make another trip this summer and 1 that a great many more specimens will be found. Dr. Harry B. Yocom expresses the opinion that students are unusually enthusiastic this year about the project. I DR. BOWEN EXPLAINS LANGUAGE PROBLEMS Students Fail to Realize Value of Study “The greatest problem to bo solv ed by modern language teachers is getting the students to realizo that they are studying the medium of conversation of young people, much like themselves, who are attending! colleges in foreign lands,” said ! l)r. Ttuymond P. Bowen, head of the Romance language department, who was present at the Modern Language Association meetings which were held at Chicago during the holidays. At these sessions va rious questions of universal inter est were discussed and research pap ers were presented on problems con fronting the language departments j in colleges and universities. Many professors of modern lang uages attended the meetings, the Pacific coast being represented by faculty members from Reed college, and the universities of Washington, Oregon and California. The next meeting will be held some time dur ing next December, at Harvard uni versity. Dr. Bowen explained tho trouble some students have in learning for eign languages. “Students,” he said, “somehow do not feel that these languages have as much thought and feeling as our own. If they could sense the thought lying in the sentence or page of the text book, they would have much less difficulty in reading it.” Note Book Paper Any Size 30c per Package We Have Some Real Notebooks o Tan Cow-hide Leather Eugene Book Store INCORPORATED 864 Willamette Phone 1052 HOUSE DANCE RULES APPROVED BY WOMEN Special Suggestions Made Regarding Chaperones In anticipation of the numerous formal and informal dances which the various campus organizations give during winter term, the mem bers of Woman’s League executive council, at their meeting Thursday eight, approved the following sug gestions in regard to patrons and patronesses: 1.

Prank Pay Eddy at the Unitarian Church Sunday morning. HAS GOD DAMNED MAN? DOES CHRIST SAVE MAN? January—Unitarian Month in Eugene The idea is simply this. We are telling the world just how distinctive and vital our faith is. How Unitarianism Is different from Orthodox Christianity Why Unitarianism Is a focusing point in Liberalism, where all inav meet who desire to do their bit for the liberalization of world opinion or who seek the comradeship of other Liberals. The Soloist at This Service Will Be ESTHER SUTTER, SOPRANO ,;r IT IS TIME we called a spade a spade; ^ o° TO SAY, what all Liberals know to be true, A NEW FAITH, Rationalizing religious ideas in the light of scientific thinking, IS NEEDED. A QUESTION CLASS will meet at the close of each Morning Service during January to discuss points raised in the address. Historic Unitarianism Woodrow Wilson coined a phrase which § threw a flood of light into our bewildered a minds during the great war when he said S it was a war “to make the world safe for g Se.moc.racy.” William Ellery Charming did a like service for minds plunged in religious s perplexity when Liberalism was searching [a for a phrase which would simplify its j|j struggle to escape from the dogmas of Cal- ji vanistie theology. He said, “The final au- g thority in religion is the human reason.” gj He dared call upon his dissenting brethern S in the churches founded by the Puritans in gj New England to take that bold step, which g) would eventually separate them more widely than they then imagined from the whole | I system of traditional Christianity. |J It separated the Unitarians, as Channing's I group soon came to be known, from, not only New England Congregationalists, but from j all dogmatic or ritualistic religion which I hian has ever known. But it related Uni- } tarianism to all the philosophy of the ages, I Including that philosophic idea existing for hoble minds in the background of many reli gions that there was a divine unity in all things. Unitarianism was fortunate in that it had a principle, alone among the sects of Christianity, which could appropriate and endorse every advance in scientific know ledge and we all know how Science has moulded the world in which we live. Uni- 1 tanamswi has had no battle to fight with J Science, ever. Science has furnished Uni- [ tarianism with a whole arsenal of new B weapons and abundance of ammunition. 8f Orthodox Christianity was early committed B to a theological sehem'e which ignored, when B it did not repudiate the human reason In the B i field of religious experience. g Orthodox Christianity has called Unitar ians heretics, when it did not call them athe ists and infidels. That was quite natural
