Professors Aid In Interpretation Of Oregon Rocks Past Year Sees Strides in Geologic Discoveries In State The year 1926 resulted in several important geologic achievements concerning the state of Oregon. Much of the work was effected through the efforts of Dr. E. L. Packard and Dr. Edwin T. Hodge, txfth of the University department of geology. Though none of them are of such a degree of importance that any great change in the structural, cli matic, or living conditions will be in any way altered, the discoveries have meant a lot to the field of geology. Dr. E. L. Packard, professor in the department of geology, has dis covered large areas of paleozoics in north central Oregon, and also numerous occurrences of cretaceous rocks. These discoveries have an important bearing upon the geologic history of the state. Dr. J. P. Buwalda of the Cali fornia Institute of Technology has almost completed his mapping of the Twickenham quadrangle of the John Day valley. The mapping of this quadrangle is important since it represents the (most important geologic column in the state. Dr. Edwin T. Hodge, professor in the department of geology, after nearly fifteen years of continuous investigation, gave before the Ge ological Society of America, at a meeting in Madison, Wis., Dec. 29, the first interpretation of the com position and structure of the Cas cade mountains in central Oregon. This ties the structure of the Cas cade mountains to that of the John Day and Willamette valleys. The unravelling of this complex series of nocks will have an important economic bearing on the state. Petroleum existed at one time in Oregon and may exist now, accord ing to an analysis made by Dr. Hodge of some material which proved to be a variety of asphalt. Details of his investigations will appear in a bulletin issued by the American Association of Petroleutor Geologists.

Many of the best Euro pean teachers have flocked to America’s financial haven, but they are finding their equals in the na tive born teachers. “Americans seem to be better fitted temperamentally to the rout ine of teaching while the Europeans are better adapted to performing. It remains to be seen whether Amer ica will produce more performers in the future.’’ ;Late Night Sessions Point to Popularity Of Discussion Groups That the informal discussion of subjects of general interest in the fraternities under the direction of members of the University faculty fulfills a real need of the student, is the general concensus of opinion of both professors and students. Classroom restraint which keeps the men from asking questions, 'and fully clearing up doubtful questions is totally lacking around the fire place in the evening, it is found, and an atmosphere of social ease that promotes earnest thought prevails. “I felt that it was one of the best things that the Y. M. C. A. has done,” said Warren D. Smith, head of the department of geology. “We sometimes talked until late in the evening, and the restraint which so hinders classroom discussion was totally lacking.” Not only is enthusiasm evidenced by the faculty, but the students themselves when questioned say that they enjoy the talks and derive ben efit from them. The teachers have been enabled to meet and talk to men whom they otherwise would never have known. “It ought to stimulate thinking on topics of interest to the students, and it surely is an enjoyable way in which to meet the men and pre sent material which is likewise pre sented in the classroom,” said Dr. E. L. Packard. “The questions forthcoming are very intelligent and worthwhile in all cases, I find,” said Del Ober teuffer, assistant professor in phys ical education. “Personally, I en joy the discussions very much, al though I lose a lot of sleep.” “Students are becoming more and more interested in questions that have a social and national relation ship,” said Mr. H. W. Davis, direct or of Christian work, “and these groups fill a need in promoting that interest.” Short Course in Mining Offered at Walla Walla STATE COLLEGE OE WASH INGTON, Walla Walla—(By PIP) —A short course in mining is of fered for the first time this year. It will be given the last week in April under the auspices of the school of mining, and is intended for mine operators, managers, metal Excitement of Crowd 'Keys Up9 Team, Says Dr. Howard Taylor, Psychologist Fear May Produce Same Results; Adrenal Glands Release Stores of Energy in Liver The members of an athletic team may not hear individual yells given for them during the game but the cheering and the excitement of the crowds key up their emotions and often stir the players on to faster and more violent action, in the I opinion of Howard B. Taylor, as sistant professor of psychology. “Excitement necessarily has an effect in keying up any organism,” said Professor Taylor, “and this in creases the possibilities of violent reaction. Cheering therefore has an effect on competing athletes in that it contributes a large part in stir ring up excitement. Physiologically, keying up the emotions causes the adrenal glands to release stores of energy in the liver, and thus a new sohree of energy is provided. “The problem of an athletic, coach to raise high emotions in his players,” continued the speaker. “Fear may be used to do, this, al though it is not always good as pre paratory to good playing.” Instilling fear in his players is essentially what is done by Gil j Hobie, former coach at the Uni- 1 versify of Washington and now at Cornell, said Professor Taylor. ! Pobie makes gloomy predictions un til he scares his players into play ing beyond their normal gait. This emotional keying up of the team could be accomplished to some extent by the cheering alone if it were not that teams which have played much get used to hearing yells. Cheering heightens the gen eral emotional status of the crowd, however, and that tension in turn is usually communicated to the play ers. “Producing violent reaction by arousing the emotions may impair judgment,” Professor Taylor said. “Keying up the emotions is most lurgists, mining men, and present students. Circulars announcing the course will be distributed over the Northwest. Dean A. E. Drucker has secured 10 .prominent mining engineers, managers and metallurgists, besides a number from the staff of Wash ington State College, to lecture in the short course.

It may even extend to thinking and it is possible that a debater is stirred by the excitement of the crowd. Occasionally a man goes to pieces under the strain but that is usually because he does not have his actions sufficiently automatic or under control. “This knowledge of the effect of excitement on reaction goes back to an essay by William James, who was a noted psychologist and profes sor of philosophy at Harvard, on reservoirs of power. James said that under stress people may have res ervoirs of power on which to draw. They are then able to do acts that they never could do without the stress of emotion. “Heightening the activity for long periods deletes playing power and eventually athletes cannot play un less the reserve is built up. That is the reason why teams go stale dur ing long playing seasons.” Spectators at a game are affected by excitement in much the same way as the players and the same physiological changes take place, said Professor Taylor. Their emo tions are heightened by the cheer ing and by the contagious excite- j ment of the crowd. “Seeing a team, which they know, ' play is more interesting to the spec tators because to a certain extent they identify themselves with that team and win or lose with them,” Professor Taylor concluded. “The emotions of the spectators are aroused much more than if they were merely watching professional teams or teams in which they had j no interest or connection. For that reason professional teams try tio j establish a particular clientele or following.” Itasaters ^ HhILIG: Last day: “A Reg- j ulnr Scout,” featuring Fred Thom son and filled with all the sweep, j action and thrills of the West.
