A New Policy In Student Government Within the next week the two representative governing councils of the associated student body will be given splendid opportunities to declare themselves in favir of sup porting student activities directly bearing on the intellectual interests of the University. The executive council, guardian of the treasury, which meets today, will be asked to take over the lecture series handled independently on the campus this year, and the student council, cry stallizers of student opinion, will consider in tho near future offi cially submitting to tho University the recently published student re port on intellectual activity within the University. ’ If the executive and student councils pass favorably on these matters they will have advanced directly toward a new attitude in student body government. Hereto fore the students officially have concerned themselves largely with athletics and other interests of minor significance in the central function of the University—the guidance into proper channels of tho mental interests of the studont body. The recently adopted music concert series program which has proven immensely popular is a not able exception to the generally ac cepted list of student activities. * # * On the campus during tho past year a “free intellectual activities” committee has promoted several events, the Amundsen and Bherwogd Anderson lectures being sponsored by this student and faculty group. A fair sum was realized this year, and there is every reason to boliove that tho student body backing would make the lectures a financial success. With Alexander Meikel jolin, Bertrand Russel, neywood Broun, Fannie Hurst, and several others on a tentative list for next year the outlo0k is particularly promising. * Even if the lecture cost tho stu-! dent body actual cold cash the in- | vestment would be sound. In the' past we have subsidised athletics liberally, have given to music and debate, so why not sanction this extremely valuable activity t If the new student council mem bers decide to adopt officially the student report on needed Univer sity administrative changes they will have inaugurated a very praise worthy policy in student body gov ernment. It is quite probable that all the measures advocated by the committee report will not find ap proval with the council; but if the council recognizes the need for ad ministrative reforms and declares itself willing and anxious to par ticipate in bringing about proper measures to alleviate present condi tions the important step will have been made. The big thing right now is for the students to declare themselves officially as possessing the right to participate in the ad ministration of their own education. Perhaps the student council will decide to adopt the report “as is,” or perhaps it will prefer to sapetion an official submission by the com mittee to University authorities. As mentioned previously, the central issue standing out at this timei s: Shall the student body demand a part in its own education? All evi dence indicates that such a pro cedure is reasonable and right and desirable. 0 • * » The Dyment easo has become a subject of statowide potico and comment. Both local newspapers have expressed themselves editori ally, particularly Tho Guard, which has turned its heavy guns upon the board of regents. Its comment is tho same as that generally heard, that no matter what grounds the regents had for their decision, re gardless of whother or not the dis missal of Dean Dyment was justi fied, tho method employed was en tirely unfair. Taking away a man’s position while on leave in Europe has not nppealed to tho state press nor to the general mass of people as a fair and justifiable course of action. Statewido comment is heard, most of it censuring the re gents, on an issue which might have attracted only the ordinary news story it it had not upon it the ear marks of rank unfairness.—S. A. ‘Raleigh’s Letters’ Placed on Library Seven-day Shelves “By testimony of all who knew him, Sir Walter Raleigh was per haps the most brilliant talker of his day; and the man revealed to us in these two volumes is, and probably will remain for years to come, the most delightful master of a sup posedly lost art, letter writing. Thus T. M. Parrott speaks in his review of “The Letters of Sir Walter Ra leigh”. Sir Walter Raleigh was professor of English studies at Oxford. His letters have been compiled in two volumes by Lady Raleigh. The let ters were written between the years 1879 and 1922. “Best of all are his letters in war time”, says the reviewer, “the World War moved Raleigh to his very depths.” The two volumes of “The Letters of Sir Walter Raleigh”, are now on the seven-day shelf at the Univer sity library. Four new books have also been added to the rent collec tion. They are: “Women, an In quiry”, by Willa Muir; “The Con noisseur and Oother Short Stories”, by Walter Dc la Mare; "The Game of Love and Death”, by Domain Holland; and “Royal Highness”, bv Thomas Mann. Plans *f«r Critique \N ill Be Discussed At Thursday Meet Rians for the Critique Premiere, annual art exhibition, will be out lined and registration for the ban quet to be given May 1'7, first day of the ( ritique, at the Eugene ho tel, will be made at the meeting of the allied arts league Thursday at 1 o’clock. Nomination of officers for the coming year will be made at this time and all members are expected to attend. Formal invitations, designed by Harold Wagner, senior in the school of architecture, and made by the wood-block method, have been mailed to many outsiders who are interested in the Critique. The committee in charge, as well as the students who will exhibit work, are anxious that the campus does not consider the exhibition re stricted to the interest and enjoy ment of the art department alone, but for the whole campus, and urge all students to see the exhibit.

Frosh Track Men Try Out for Seattle Meet Today is one of the big days for the frosh track men as they will hold tryouts this afternoon to pick the squad to go to Seattle. They are scheduled to meet the Univer sity of Washington freshmen next Saturday. This is the first dual meet for the yearling cinder artists against inter-collegiate competition, and the babes are anxious to show just what they can do in a dual meet and also stage a comeback from the frosh-rook relay carnival last Saturday. The Washington frosh have a strong team but with the local babes being strong in al most all events, the meet should be exciting whatever the outcome. The tryouts are scheduled to start promptly at 3:30 on Hayward field. Defense Wins Verdict In Moot Oburt Trial A jury in Judge Hale’s moot court late lntet night awarded the defendant the verdict in the case of Gillenwaters vs. Chrisman.

Three Sisters (Continued from page one) Dr. Hodge, was the north side or slope of the gigantic mountain which was at least a mile higher than the present sisters. The^jjgak the present Sisters, can be visual ized mentally high above and to the right of the Middle Sister. In brief, as Dr. Ilodge reconstructs.-the^pr’e-; hi«tnrir> mmintoiri ttin "Vf" i/-TI« nnli' historic mountain, the Middle an’d South Sisters have risen in the cra ter of Mount Multnomah since the eruption of its top. The gigantic calde.-a left by the explosion can be traced, according to Dr. Hodge, if one stands on either the Middle or South Sisters. The remnant fragments of North Sister, Little Erother, the Husband, the South Eampart and Broken Top, all peaks in the vicinity, mark the edges of the crater of the for mer towering peak of Mount Mult nomah. “The grandeur of this departed mountain and the immensity of its caldera,” says Dr. Hodge in his book, “will seize,the mind of every one because, without especially no ting the detailed evidence of its existence, the obvious topographic evidence makes it former existence reasonable.” Then Dr. Hodge gives eight rea sons, all more or less technical and scientific, which lead iim to de clare positively that Mount Multno mah really existed. Centuries before the white man reached the fertile valleys 'where rolls the Oregon’,” says the author in discussing the immediate history of the Three Sisters, “the pre-his toric Indians worshipped the To manus (spirit of the mountain) of inree snow-clad mountains which were visible from all parts of cen tral, eastern and western Oregon. A few of the more courageous—or perhaps less mercenary and less re ligious of those early dwellers visited the secret treasure chest of those exalted mountains, and ob tained therefrom the valuable obsid ian which they traded far and wide to the Indians of the plain, of the river valleys and of the coast.” Obsidian, which is volcanic glass of solid compact structure and con tains little or no water, could be found in quantities in the region of the Three Sisters. The Indians considered the obsidian, which was used for arrowheads and spear heads, of in/strinsic value. “Perhaps a thousand years later,” continues the story, “the white man, urged westward by the same im pulse that brought his Asiatic pred ecessors eastward, reached the yel low pined slopes of the eastern Cafc cades. Here at intervals between labors and their conflicts, they gazed westward to the three beauti ful mountains, and, in their admi ration, named them the ‘ Three Sis ters. ’ “Later settlers in Oregon always have, approved the name and now the fame of the beauty of this re gion is known in all parts of the world.” In beginning his story of Mount Multnomah, the author takes the reader back to the eocene period— ten million years ago. What is now Oregon was then two great land masses, one in the general vicinity of the present Blue Mountain re gion and the other in southwestern Oregon. At the beginning of this eocene period a great break in the earth’s crust eventually afforded deep-seated liquid rock an opportun ity to escape to the surface. This break gave origin to the present Cascades, and its then numerous volcanoes. Mount Multnomah was one of the volcanoes that began to develop with the beginning of the oligocene Ec. assr: . jx—-. rtxn SEE US FOR MACGREGOR Golf Supplies * * "We also have a large as sortment of tennis rackets * ¥ Let Us Restring Your Racket Hendershott’s Gun Store Next to Ye Towne Shoppe a 5B--.cs 'E m a fa a"* ■ period, the second period, but it was not until the next era, called by geologists the miocene period, that I the mountain began to belch out I an enormous flood of basic lava. “As a result of this intense vol ; canic activity,” says Dr. Hodge, ; “Mount Multnomah was built into | a gigantic cone more than 15,000 feet high, with a base extending from near Belknap Springs on the west, Three Sisters on the oust, be yon <1 Mount-."Washington on the north, and to hlk Lake on the ’HodgeyTHat-the top of the mountain was destroyed. Dr. Hodge points out that the top was either blown off by a gigantic explosion or that ! it collapsed. He gives greater cre i deuce to the explosion theory, how ; ever. The diameter of the caldera thus : formed was about S miles, and com pares favorably with other great calderas in the world. They follow: Lage di Braceiano, Italy—Diam eter in miles, 6 and one-half; depth, I 300 to 500 feef. I Lage di Bolsena, Italy-—Diameter j in miles, 10 and one-quarter by 9.

Dr. Hodge, who came to the Uni !&graity of Oregoii in 1920, has the distinction of preparing two of the five topographic maps of the high Cascade areas. The United States forest service has prepared the other is ^prepared the _ __ three. Dr. Hodge, who is 39 years old, took his bachelors and masters degree at the University of Min nesota, and his doctors at Columbia university, New York. His work in geology has been extensive having been first assistant geologist of Pennsylvania, consulting geologist to board of appraisal and apportion ment in New York city, geologist for Porto Kico and acting head of geology at the University of Brit ish Columbia before coming to Ore gon.
