Next Webfoot Has Surprises To Interest All Sports, Christmas Stories And Smut-Quacks Give Variety -- Male Poets on Campus To Feature in Issue For forty days and forty nights it rained and then there was a Web foot. The ducks quacked in duck sonian lingo—“Webfoot, our spokes man gets better and better. A joke repeated for the second time is no joke—therefore our Webby is no joke.” No, it is no joke; it appears a few days before the holidays and will furnish material for vacation reading. This December issue will have a large sport section. The editors of this department, Dick Jones, Har old Mangum and Bill Parker, have worked out an excellent spread of two pages which includes cuts of j the last games of the season. There | is a picture of Arthur Ord, right half, making a 45-yard run in the California game. There will also be pictures of both the varsity and freshman teams, in addition to a close-up of the O. A. C. game. This will summarize the football season and basketball will be introduced with pictures of the players. A number of Christmas stories have been scheduled to appear in; this number. A1 Clark has a story j which will be inspiration to most college students to look forward to well-filled stockings. Paul Luy, edit or of the humor section, promises a four-page knock-out of smut-quacks. A poetry section has been planned; the contributors will all be men who arc students of the University. The entire staff has been working this coming edition in order to make it a true St. Nick number. The heads of the departments and the editor, Rolf Klep, have a big sur prise which will when completed be revealed to the campus. This will be of interest to literary writ ers, art students, and those with business ability, in fact, all students and faculty members.

Last fall term, they were fourth on the grade list with 45.575. Winter and spring terms they headed the list with 49.523 and 54.401. Although Alpha Chi Omega won the trophy while still a local, their chapter was granted soon after, and the national name was engraved upon the cup. The trophy was given to the local Panhellenic Association by the Port land alumnae association of Chi Omega, to be awarded annually to the fraternity belonging to Pan hellenic having the highest average. It was first won by Pi Beta Phi, followed by Delta Gamma, Alpha Chi Omega, which won it four times, Alpha Gamma Delta, and Kappa Al pha Theta, the latter holding it last year. The cup was presented to the members of the sorority Wednesday evening at a dinner given in honor of the patronesses.

C. Howe Presents Proper Method Of* Interpreting Literary Works One passing paper on the first test; three on. the second, and a greater percent expected on the third. This is the record made by Prof. H. C. Howe’s teaching of English literature class. He grades not on the amount of information absorbed by the students during lecture periods, but on their ability to originate interpretative comment on passages assigned. These are not in the form of tests given during the period, but are papers prepared outside class, in which the student attempts to solve the problems which will probably come up for solution in his classes as a teacher of Eng lish literature. “The class,” said Professor Howe, “is a large one of about 80 students. Each time I give such a determin ing test, only one or two receive passing grades. This does not mean, however, that the whole class will flunk, because it fs different stu dents each time who receive pass ing grades. They are gradually im proving, and I expect the next set of papers, which I have received but not yet corrected, will be the best of the lot. Their chief fault is in devising ways of presenting the passage to their imaginary class. They do this in two ways: first, by talking too much, thus interposing themselves between their pupils and the author or poet; and secondly, by paying too much heed to the diction iiiiHttiimi!i«i!iiHiiini!iiniiimiiiiniiiHHiiiiiHiiiHiuw xoday — Saturday Valentino '‘OtSm of Hu Sheik' utiii VILMA BANKY ' WUJB) AKTOT9 MCTWU Burning Lips!

Comedy — Pathe News Showing- the Army and Navy, and the Washington vs Nebraska game pictures No Advance in Prices ary definition of the words in a passage rather than focusing the attention.” To concretely illustrate what type of test he gave, Professor Howe cit ed the following lines from Othello, in which Iago speaks: “Not poppy nor mendragora, Nor all the drowsy syrups in the world, Shall ever med’cine thee to that sweet sleep Which yesterday thou ow’st.” This passage is critical; the cen ter of interest. Therefore if the student is able to successfully il luminate this passage in such a way that his or her pupils-to-be will find it easy to recall to memory, he has succeeded in fixing in their minds the critical part of the play. “The proper method of doing this would be to stress the connotative value of the English words. Thus “drowsy syrups” would instantly recall to the mind of the student this passage, and serve to fix it in his mind,” explained Professor Howe.

The quota is only eight cents per capita, and Mrs. P. L. Campbell, who has charge of the sale of seals on the campus, says, “Since it is purely a matter of self protection to support the sale of Tuberculosis seals it is foolish not to do so.” The 1925 Bed Cross seal funds have been used to excellent advan tage throughout the year. Typical examples of the work made possible by the funds are the making of statistical studies of tuberculosis in Oregon, helping to finance the East ern Oregon Tuberculosis Hospital campaign, helping finance the Child | Health Clinic at the Portland Free Dispensary, paying for hospital care, X-ray treatment and dentistry for patients who could not help them selves, and paying for dental sur veys among school children. These constitute only one-fifth of the work done during the past year. The seal funds are used also to publish health literature which is distributed among school children. B. B.

In this work the Oregon Tuberculosis Association has ren dered a most efficient service throughout the state.” As long as the citizens of Oregon continue to support the seal sales each year, the association will continue its fine work. Last year’s record on the campus was not one of which to be espec ially proud, and it is hoped that this year the campus will support the sale one hundred per cent. Seals will be sold by all the house-manag ers in order to cause students as little inconvenience as possible. Both libraries, the women's gym nasium ,the Campa Shoppe and the Co-op have seals for sale so that everyone will have an opportunity to buy them. The state quota for this year is $55,000 and the Univer sity of Oregon campus is expected to do its share.
