USES EXPLAINS ACTIVITY CHART Committee Recommended To Carry Out Work BOOKLET IS PREPARED Students Interested Are In cluded in List At a meeting yesterday of all students on the campus who have appointive powers, the purpose of the questionnaire, filled out at reg istration this term, was explained by Paul Ager, chairman of the ac tivities committee. These students' expressed themselves as being in favor of the plans to eliminate over-activity on the campus. This body also recommended that the student council organize a perm anent activities committee to be appointed by student body offi cials; this committee to have charge of the records of each student’s activities, and to keep track of the ability and success of students in their student body work. Book is Prepared The work that has actually been done by the activities committee this term has proved of value to many students. A book is now ready for use in which is listed, ac cording to the activities in which they are interested, all the stu dents who indicated their prefer ences when filling out the ques tionnaire at registration. In this book an entirely new field is opened up. Before now, it has been almost impossible to reach stu dents not in campus living organi zations. There was no way to get them for committee work unless the one appointing the committee was personally acquainted with the stu dent. In this information book, all students not living in campus or ganizations are listed, and if they are interested in activities, they can now be reached without difficulty. Only Interested are Included Students who indicated that they were not interested in campus ac tivities are not included in the list. That this list of student activi ties .is to be used voluntarily by students with appointive powers was explained. It is not to be compulsory but the cooperation of the students with 'the committee will facilitate committee appoint ments and avoid duplication. It will be a standardized system of activities. A system whereby scholarship may be taken into consideration in these appointments may be worked out in the future. At present the whole system is new and not yet fully completed but as each new question comes up, new changes are being made. Questionnaire of Value A questionnaire given each year to freshmen men in the athletics department indicating what kind of activities the freshmen are inter ested in has proved of great value in that department, said Virgil Earl, director of athleties. Those who attended the meeting were: Paul Ager, Walter Malcolm, Betty Cady, Anna DeWitt, Bart Kendall, Esther Setters, James Johnson, Balph Staley, Harold Brumfield, Elam Almstutz, Rolf Klepp, Virgil Earl, Dean Walker, Ray Mosier, Ed Miller, George Ross, Frank Loggan and Margaret Boyer.

Beck, son of Mrs. Anne Landsbury Beck,. head of the public school music department of the school of music. At the outbreak of the war John Beck enlisted as a private in the 144th Field Artillery of •Cali fornia. Two weeks later he was promoted to top-sergeant, and as he was an expert horseman, he soon attained the commissioned rank of second-lieutenant. — After the war SeCond-Lieutenant Beck took the examinations for the regular army, was granted the rank of first-lieutenant, and sent to the Mexican border in charge of the transport service. He has been stationed in several camps since that time, and just re cently was sent to Oklahoma City in charge of the state guards. “And for your own information, I might tell you that John is the best soldier in the army,” says Mrs. Beck. For ten years, part of which was during the whole of the World War, Madame McGrew, professor of voice in the school "of music, was separated from her three daugh ters, Bose, Helga and Bessie. Ma dame McGrew came to this country before the outbreak of the war, and the girls were left in Dresden. Be cause of complications of war tra vel, it was impossible for the iam ily to be reunited until just four years ago, when Eose and Helga came to Eugene. During the war Eose attended a preparatory school in Dresden for three years, during which time she made an average in her scholarship of “One.” She earned her way by scholarship grants, which were given her for the remarkable scho lastic showing, and by tutoring. She entered the University of Ore gon in 1922, was awarded a B.A. degree in 1924, and a Master’s de gree in 1925. During the last year she was also a teaching fellow in German. She is now librarian at the University of Kiel, which is the largest research library in the world, where she buys and cata logues books for that institution. Helga entered the University at the same time her sister did, and majored in dramatics, in which de partment she has become well ktfown to Guild hall patrons. At present she is keeping house for her mother and younger sister Bessie.. Bessie, who came to this country only last fall, is taking art courses under Professor Schroff, and will enter with full freshman standing next term. Y. M. MEN PROPOSE DISCUSSION TOPICS Professors, speakers, and repre-. sentatives from each of the fra ternities on the campus met at a luncheon Monday noon at the “Y” hut, where topics for the fraternity dicussion programs were discussed and the program arranged. Fran cis Rieder, chairman of the student committee which is handling this matter, explained the nature of the proposed discussion series, and a number of the students and pro fessors took part in the discussion. Bart Kendall, president of the cam pus Y. M. C. A. presided. j A list of the proposed subjects for the series were placed on the blackboard and were analyzed and the student reaction to them dis covered. Bob Hunt, also on the student committee, reported It^hat so far none of the houses have turned the discussions down. Three or four which have not decided as yet were scheduled to do so at house meetings Monday night. It was decided at the luncheon that Tuesday is the best time to hold these meetings, and the first wjll be launched next'Tuesday eve ning. Each speaker will handle only one theme, and will talk on it at five different houses during the five-week period the discussion groups will cover. It has been left to the discretion of each house as to whether the addresses will be given at the dinner table, or after dinner, around the fireside. 17 black degrees 3 copying Buy a dozen ^he largest selling quality’pencil the YtOtld.

The 12th of these districts includes Eugene and vicinity, according to Professor H. G. Tanner, of the chemistry department. The object of organization is to eliminate interference in the air by cooperating with telephone and tel egraph companies, and to prevent the market from becoming flooded with a low quality apparatus. Herbert C. Hoover, secretary of commerce, aids in this cooperation by calling yearly conferences of dealers * representatives, manufac turers and operators. Problems are discussed, and measures proposed to further the radio movement. Through these conferences, JMr. Hoover is able to get the reaction of the people in the radio world. Radio in the United States is not lender government control, except in a semi-official way, Mr. Tanner says. Eugene has an organization of merchants and dealers called the Northwest Radio Trade associa tion, but so far very little has been done toward actual development. EVERETT L.

Friends who serve you daily—who lighten your work— amuse your leisure—contribute to your welfare and to the pleasure of your life. Advertised products—familiar faces that you find in yo«r living-room, bedroom, bath, kitchen, garage and yard. Long association with them has proved their “friendship" to be valuable. The advertisements are little intimate word pictures of these “commercial friends." Advertisements tell you how they are made, what they are doing, and how and where to get them. As a general rule, there is nothing familiar or "friendly" about the appearance of an unadvertised product. You seldom see it in the paper—the stores—or even in homes. Largely because the great buying publie has learned that the advertised product is the friend to tie to. Read the Advertisements regularly—they are messages from business friends of yours
