V Congressional Short Session May Be Longer Two Long Periods, Plan; Inauguration Date May Change “The short session of congress is merely a period of stagnancy,” de clared William P. Maddox of the political science department yester day in commenting on the Norris amendment which is awaiting rati fication by the House of Represen tatives during the newly opened congressional session. ^ “The men in the short session 9 have been defeated and disapprov ed of,” Mr. Maddox said. “They have no incentive to work as they are about to retire from public life. The Norris amendment, which has been passed by the senate, nvoum .enange tne legislative plan from a one-year session and a three month session to two regular ses sions, not to exceed one year. Also Congress would convene in January following the election in which can didates are chosen, instead of in De cember of the following year, thir teen months after the election. As it is, the congressman must start work on his next campaign, before he has really shown what he can do. Congressmen elected in Novem ber, 1926, fok instance, come into office in December, 1927, and in the following summer have to pre pare their campaigns for the elec tion in December, 1928. “The bill would also provide for the president coming into office in January instead of March 4. That k date was ‘chosen because Benjamin Franklin looked through the calen dar and found that it occurs less on Sunday than an/*other. As for the wait of three months, that was to allow the president time to arrive. There is no reason for it now. This bill has been proposed several times before, and is of some con siderable importance.” New O. A. C. Beaver Thought Permanent OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis, Dec. 7—PIP—Sev eral traditional emblems have cross ed and recrossed the Willamette valley between Corvallis and Eu gene, but the newest and biggest image of the O. A. C. Beaver, un veiled during Homecoming, is be lieved to be of sufficient size and strength of construction to prevent any destructive man-handling at the hands of students from rival insti tutions. Six weeks of work with plaster of Paris, hemp fiber plugging, and sev eral yards of wire applied to a wood en armature and base, finally pre pared the impressive symbol of Ag gie spirit for a metallic bronze fin ish. Benjamin Schermerhorn, soph omore in chemical engineering, was responsible for the new Symbol. Survey Students Don’t Grasp Brains TTE STEPPED into the survey class; he beheld the usual process of quiz paper distribu tion. The professor was there, ready to spring +he questions. All as usual. But there was something else in the classroom this morning; something floating above the en tire class. Extra brains. That was what that other presence was; a wholesale distribution of brains! And just before an ex amination. What luck. But alas, the poor student could not utilize the brains. For ’twas only the liquid remainder of a. psychology class’s “pickled brain” that permeated the sur vey classroom. Swimmers Train for Telegraphic Meet With Wesleyan Team Indications are that some excel lent marks will he made in the tele graphic swimming <meet with Wes leyan University of Connecticut, which is scheduled for December 15. Varsity swimmers have been work ing out for almost two months now and the squad is rounding into good shape.

Diving prac tice is held every Monday evening in th^ Woman’s building while the while the regular practice takes place in the ancient pool under the men’s gym.

Ex-Student Is One Of Three White People In Alaskan Village One of the three white people in Hvdaburg, an isolated Indian vil lage in Alaska, is Margaret Achter man, who was a sophomore in music on the campus last fall. She is teach- : ing in the native school at Hyda burg, having left Eugene last sum mer. “It’s cold and clear here now and we have just a wee bit of snow, just enough to make it picturesque for Thanksgiving,” she said in a letter received in Eugene yesterday. “Thanksgiving in an Indian village is most unique. All the men are out hunting for deer, geese, etc., and tomorrow they are going to have a ,community feast at the town hall. The feast is known as a ‘Pot Latch.’ “I thought that I was going to teach the sixth grade, but I am teaching the kindergarten and the first grade. My room gets out before the others in both the morning and the afternoon, so after that I teach music in the other rooms. It keeps me quite busy. “The only way that one can get out of the village is by boat. The village is surrounded on three sides by water and on the fourth by an ! almost impenetrable forest. The mail j boat comes once a month, and mail j certainly is welcome. The whole town turns out and goes down to the dock.” Spurs Club Elects Seven; O. A. C. Offers Horses for Practice Spurs club, honorary riding frat ernity, has elected to membership the following persons, who were chosen foT their outstanding horse manship especially in cross-country riding: Vernon Dale, Henry Bristol, William Giles, Dorothy Coffin, Jerry Blue, Helene Oates and Robert Mc Math. The wealth of material on hand this year from which to select mem bers far exceeded that of last year, and Oregon’s chances of taking first place in the annual Portland Hunt club paper chase are fair. It will be remembered that Oregon took first place over all the colleges competing in the paper chase last spring, fall ing second only to the Portland club which took first place in the meet. Members of Spurs have been in vited by the Oregon Agricultural College, to come to Corvallis and use the horses of the college, for practicing steeplechases, at any time. They are planning to ride there once every two weeks. They have also been asked to participate in a steeplechase to bo held at Corvallis on Gymkhana Day, next spring.
