E. SPENREB REPORTS
STUDENT CONFERENCE
Snaps Used to Illustrate
Points of Interest
Edna Speaker, who, with Adel
aide Johnson, represented the Uni
versity at the Pacific Coast Stu
dent’s conference held at Aislomar,
California, last summer, gave a re
port to the Y. W. C. A. cabinet
members yesterday.
The two Oregon girls were among
those chosen as hostesses for other
girls at the conference. They were
called “Stuck ups” and the unin
itiated girls were called “Pick
ups.”
Aislomar is the national Y. W.
C. A. conference ground, and is sup
ported by the national student fund.
“The -buildings are so constructed
that they fit in perfectly with the
marvelous setting, and give the
place an inspirational atmosphere..”
The purpose of the conference,
which was divided into 14 minor
conferences, was to consider reli
gious, social, economic, racial and
other vital problems which confront
students everywnere. une uo. mo
conferences was for Girl Reserves.
About 700 girls of all races attend
ed this gathering. Adelaide John
son led in their musical programs..
«Xhe Funeral March ” is a. tradi
tional event of the conference be
ing a ceremony of mourning the
fate of the “Pick ups.” Miss
Spenker showed some examples of
the picturesque costumes worn in
this stunt, and also illustrated other
parts of her talk with snapshots.
Each University and college is
limited to two representatives at
the annual conference.
Campus Buildings Should
Be Named With More
Dignity, Professor Dunn
(Continued from page one)
land has probably led Multnomah
students to continue on the campus
the habit they formed while in
Portland.
Local Names Good
“With all due deference to the
Woman’s building,” says Mr. Dunn,
“the name allowed to be associated
with it is faulty because it is re
ferred to as the Woman’s building,
rather than ‘Women’s.’ How much
more dignified it would be if the
Woman’s building were called Sis
kyiou or Caliapoola hall or some
other Indian name. People might
obect that these are not euphoni
ous, but they would have the same
weight of influence and association
in the West in the future as Mas
sasoit has now in New England.
He maintains it is quite a usual
thing for universities to name
some of their buildings after local
topographical features. For ‘in
stance, Harvard has Massachusetts
and Cambridge halls which pertain
to local situations. In the same
way we could very comfortably
name some of our buildings in
terms of our own topography. Ore
gon hall'is the only one so far with
that sort of inference.
Campus Feature Affected
“I would not suggest changing
the names of the buildings notir
called halls, but only the new ones
like commerce, sociology, and the
administration,’’ states Professor
Dunn. “The music building eould
be named after some celebrity in
music.”
The University is growing ho
asserts Professor Dunn, that it
seems timely for consideration of a
system of nomenclature to he ap
plied, not,merely to present name
less buildings, but to those that
are to be included in the greater
Oregon of the future.

Xnfant Qrodigies
True Stories of Faculty Kids
If nothing went wrong James
would be nine in a short time.
“Nine1?” asked the reporter,
“Spelled n-i-n-e?”
Yes, that was what was meant.
“And the others-1”
Professor Smith’s face brighten
ed perceptibly as he answered:
“Warren Ellison comes next. He is
six.
“Then comes our youngest, Phoe
be Hall. She is just two and a half
years old.
“She believes in Santa Claus,
certainly. She’s all right,” said
the professor smiling.
“And Warren Ellison?”
“James Fanclis is our oldest,”
said Prof. Warren D. Smith, look
ing a bit apprehensive.
“He is eight years old,” added
the professor, who is head of the
department of geology and recog
nized nationally as an authority on
the geology of the Philippines.
“The fact is, he is almost nine;
yes, almotet nine,” continued the
geologist as though that were all
that could be said about James
Francis.
An embarrassing silence ensued.
The professor of geology refused
to fill, it with any further descrip
tion of the hoy.
“Oh, yes. He’s all right, too.
He’s perfectly orthodox. He be
lieves,” answered the geologist, in
dulgently. ,
“And Janies Francis-”
“Oh, he!” exploded Professor
Smith wrathfully. “He doesn’t be
lieve in anything! He’s a bolshe
vik, he’s a terror.”
“You can’t convince him of any
thing, or with anything—unless it
should be a club and-”
The geologist’s despairing ges
ture gave the reporter to under
stand that to do even that it was
first necessary to capture James
Francis, which was in itself no
mean undertaking. Even though
Dr. Smith was a member of the
University of Wisconsin track team
while an undergraduate, he cannot
get about as nimbly as his son.
“James Francis is a regular
roughneck! ” exclaimed the profes
sor. “But don’t think I’m blam
ing him too much. I had some of
his characteristics when I was a
kid. James Francis isn’t a lamb,
but when he grows up he’ll be his
own man and he’ll know his way
about in the world.”
Students Dodge Few Bills,
Says City Collector
First of Month Declared Surest
Time for Easy Payment
Do students try to evade paying
their hills!
“No, students almost always pay
their obligations,” said a well
known Eugene collector. ‘‘of
course,” he said, “it’s human na
ture to find some persons from
whom it is hard to collect money,
but- I don’t find many of these
persons among the students.”
Investigations made in Eugene
show that the largest amount of
student credit business is divided
among laundries, cleaners’ and
pressers’ establishments, shoe stores,
eating-places, men’s furnishing
Stores, and ladies’ wearing apparel
shops. Laundries and cleaners and
pressers find it best to use ,collec
tors on their accounts.
The laundries and some of the
cleaners and pressers have men in
the organizations represent them.
At the end of the month ese stu
dents collect from the members id
their organization. One such col
lector said, “It’s easy to get money
from the brothers at the first of
the month when all of them have
it. That’s the best time for col
lecting.”
The manager of one firm does his
own collecting. He said, “I don’t
have very much trouble with my
collections. Sometimes when a stu
dent drops out of school I have
some difficulty in getting the
money, but my losses from bad
debts among students is compara
tively small.”
When asked if times were better
this year tjian last, a collector op
timistically said, “I have had bet
ter luck with my collections this
year than I did last year. I attri
bute this circumstance to the fact
that people have more money to
spend this year than they did last
year, and naturally they meet their
obligations better.”

SKY HOLDS FEW EVENTS
FOR YEAR, MUSTER
i —
Solar Eclipse in July to be
Partially Visible Here
“This is to be a lean year, as
tronomically speaking. Aside from
the son and moon rising and setting,
we on the Pacific coast will see
{nothing of interest in the sky
in 1926,” says Prof. E. H.
McAlister of the astronomy and
mechanics department. A very
small partial eclipse of the sun will
be visible at 3i20 on the afternoon
of July 9.
The rest of the world will not be
much better off, Professor McAlis
ter declares. The biggest event of
the year has already occurred in
the Indian ocean—the eclipse of
the sun. This took place oh Jan
uary 14, with parties of American
and British astronomers stationed
on the island of Sumatra in the
Pacific ocean to study and record
the phenomena. The Americans re
ported poor wehther, but the' Brit
ish, who were farther East, had
better luck with the clouds. The
result of the observations of either
party have not been announced.
The solar eclipse scheduled for
July will be annular, that is, the
moon will not completely cover the
sun and a large ring of light will
be seen by people in the nfiddle of
the Pacific ocean. On this coast
one-seventh of the sun will be seen
covered; it will look as if a chunk
had been bitten off one edge, Pro
fessor McAlister says.
The planets, Mars, Jupiter, Venus,
and Saturn, will be occulted by the
moon, but we will not see this un
usual spectacle. Europe will see
the occultations of Mars and Jupi
ter in March, and of Saturn in
December, while anyone who hap
pens to be in the middle of the
Pacific ocean on August 5 shortly
after six o’clock in the evening,
will see the moon slowly approach
and obliterate the planet Venus.
People on the Pacific coast, says
Professor McAlister, will find on
! this day an exceptional opportunity

for a clear view of Venus. At about
six o ’clock, while it is still day
light, the planet will be close to
the moon, on the left. Half an hour
after they have set, the moon will
slip over and hide the planet from
I the sight of those in a region suit
able for seeing it.
Hawaii will see more phenomena
of the sky than any other one lo
cality, according to Professor Mc
Alister. The latest eclipse was seen
there as the one next July will be,
as well as the occultation of Venus.
This year is exceptional in hav
ing only two eclipses, says Profes
sor McAlister. Usually there are
three, four, or five a year. In 1917,
seven eclipses took place. The next
time the world will see that number
will be in 1935. In 1922, two
eclipses of the sun occurred—when
ever there are only two, they are
always solar. Next year, 1927,
there will be five—three of the sun
and two of the moon.
No large comets are expected
this year, according to Professor
McAlister, but astronomers are hop
ing some unknown one may appear
to surprise them.
W. A. A. ADOPTS NEW
POINT SCORING SYSTEM
The new point system in women’s
athletics was adopted by a unani
mous vote, at the mass meeting of
the Woman’s Athletic Association,
yesterday.
Regina De Vault, chairman of the
point system committee, explained
the system as drawn up by the
cbmmittee. 100 points will be given
to all first team players, 75 to sec
ond, 50 to third, 35 to fourth, and
25 to fifth and lower teams. Five
points are given for substitution re
gardless of the team substituted on
or the number of times of substitu
tion. Honors will be given in danc
ing, swimming, riflery and horse
back riding. Students passing the
proficiency test in their regular
gymnasium class work receive 25
points.
Rulings of the W. A. A. council
were emphasized by Janet Wood,
president of W. A. A. No girl may
take part in more than three sports
in one season. Only five hundred
points a year will be counted for
any student. All star teams will
be chosen and honorable mention
given to other players.
Hiking has been eliminated from
the sports schedule, and hereafter
no points will be given for this
sport. Lack, of enthusiasm has nec
essitated this action.
Treasury report, and reports on
dancing and basketball were given

MRS. BARNES ADVISES
PURCHASE OF BOOKS
A man’s library and his culture
grow together, and for that reason
he should purchase ,the standard
classics he uses in class t work, and
not depend upon the books from the
reserve shelves, according to Mrs.
Mary Watson Barnes, instructor in
English.
If the need for the book covers
an assignment or two, it is better
to use those in the reserve depart
ment, particularly if the book isi a
modern one of passing interest.
HIKING DROPPED FROM
WOMEN’S SPORT LIST
Hiking has been eliminated from
the sports schedule this year, and
no points for a Women’s Athletic
association sweater will be given
for this activity.
The action was taken because of
the lack of enthusiasm shown to
ward hiking, and will be resumed
only when more interest is taken
by students, according to. Janet
Wood, president of W. A. A.
