    Student Tours
Arranged for
Coming Summer
Southern California Trip
Will Give Six Hours
Of Credit
Two tours, each of particular im
portance to those who are especial
ly interested in art and architec
ture, are being planned for this sum
mer and have been brought to the
attention of the people of the Uni
versity campus.
One tour will bo conducted by
W, G. Purcell, Portland architect,
who with Mrs. Purcell will conduct
a party of 18 travelers who are in
terested in art and architecture
and who, Purcell says, “know that
real enjoyment is always the- flow
er of serious intent.’’ Ho has or
ganized 92 days of travel which
will begin Juno 4, and end Septem
ber 3. The itinerary will include a
tour of England, France, Italy, and
Switzerland. The cost will vary
from $990 to $1220, New York to
New York. Registrations will close
Saturday, April 30. No university
educational credits will be given
for this tour, as it is intended solely
as a pleasure trip for those who are
qualified to enjoy it.
The other tour will be education
al in purpose and will be conducted
(by Arthur C. Weatherhead, dean
of the school of architecture, at the
University of Southern California.
It will consist of 50 days of motor
ing on the continent, the tour
starting from New York, Juno 11,
and ending there September 1. Prac
tically the same territory will be
covered as that by the other group.
Six units of upper division credit
will be granted by the University
to those regularly qualified. The
cost of the trip is $1,075 including
all usual oxponses.
Those interested in the former
tour, that conducted by Purcell,
may obtain more information from
Professor John Walquist, of the
school of architecture. Dean Virgin
ia Esterly has further details of the
tour being handled by the Univer
sity of California.

Stories, Politics, and

Lot of Library Books
The newest of fiction books, plays
and non-fiction books are in great
demand at the library, but the sup
ply which comes in almost every
day is keeping orders filled. The
latest shipment of books is varied,
including very light fiction as well
as political volumes.
Among the lighter reading is
“The Captive,” by Edouard Bour
det, “Mr. Fortune’s Maggot” by
Sylvia Townsend Warner, “Dooms
day” by Warwick Deeping who is
the author of “Sorrell and Son,”
“The Babbitt Warren” by C. E. M.

El Dorado.”
Two books of plays are in the

Stallings, includes “What Price
Glory,” “The First Flijght” and
“The Buccaneers.” “The Govern
ment Inspector,” which is the other
book of plays, is by Gogol, trans
lated by Constance Garnett.
Ernest Renan, who has been de
scribed by Lord Morley as perhaps
“in one sense the most influential
French influence since Voltaire” due I
to his best known work which prob
ably had a wider influence in mod
orn Christian opinion in Christendom
than any other single treatise of
modern times, is described in a book
which is named for him. The book
is written by the Rt. Hon. J. M.
Robertson. “Voltaire,” another
book by Robertson, has also been
received.
“Juarez and Maximilian” is a

with a thorough account of the re
publican era interpreted in its his
torical perspective, by Herbert II.

litical, social and religious, and
enough history to explain it.

ASK YOUR DFALER
Jury Acquits
Law Men of
Grave Charge
Marked, Gunnysacks Fail
To Prove Case
Startling revelations featured the
moot trial of Jack Jones and Ed
ward Sox held in the Lane county
court last night, in which the de
fendants were declared not guilty
for attempted illegal disinterment
[ of a body from the Odd Fellows
I cemetery on the evening of Febru
ary 25, 1927. Reputations were shat
tered, and hidden enmity between
the state’s witness and the defen
j dants was revealed by the evidence.
Grave warnings were given by Rob
ert Mautz, state’s attorney, to wit
nesses whose testimony conflicted.
Max Hubbs and Marion Leach,
the state’s chief witnesses, testified
that on the night of February 25,
while on their way by car from the
A. T. O. house to the Kappa house
via Eighteenth street bordering the
grave yard, they discovered a light
by one of the graves. They stopped
the ear and rushed to the grave, but
before they reached the spot, two
men who had been there and had
flashed the light, were running away.
Hubbs trailed them to a point in
the road where a Buick car was
parked.
Both witnesses said that one of
the men was short and the other
tall, and that they wore dark
clothes.. Further testimony by Ira
Woodie, employee of the University
Pharmacy, showed that the defen
dants has purchased two gunny
sacks from him on the day before
the attempted crime. The gunny
sacks, found later in a Buick car
which Edward Sox and Jack Jones
had been driving the night of the
crime, were identified by marks
which Woodie had put on them as
being the same sacks.
Both defendants testified that
they wont out on the night of Feb
ruary 25 in a Buick coupe, but that
they had gone out to get shrubbery
for decoration for the Pi Phi for
mal. Other witnesses for the defen
dants, George Joseph, Harry De
Francq, and Alexander Vanderbilt,
testified that the reputation of Max
Hubbs, the state’s chief witness,
was bad, that his veracity and hon
esty were questionable.
A curious crowd thronged the
court room to hoar the trial and
interest grew tense as the damning
evidence was brought out by the
prosecution and tenser still upon
startling revelations of the defense.
The state counsels were Hymen
Samuels and Bob Mautz, and Ed
ward Kelly and Margaret Woodson
were counsels for the defense. Dep
uty District Attorney John S. Med
ley acted as judge. Order in the
court room was maintained rather
successfully by bailiff pro-tem, Ted
Gillenwaters.

don, dean of the school of educa

Janet Thacher Breaks
Arm in Fall on Butte

butte, Janet Thacher, daughter of
W. F. G. Thacher, professor in jour
nalism, fell down a hill and broke

class had climbed to the top of the
hill to get a birdseye view of Eu
gene.

Social Science
Teachers Unfit
Unpreparedness Due to
Insufficient College
Study in Field
Oregon high school teachers of
social science are not adequately
prepared to .teach these subjects so
far as college study of history, eco
nomics, sociology, and other social
science is concerned, according to
“A Study of the Social Science
Teachers in Oregon High Schools,
1925-26,” a report made by F. L.
Stetson and F. C. Wooton of the
University school of education. The
report was published in the Feb
ruary issue of “Educational Admin
istration and Supervision,” a month
ly published in Pennsylvania.
The report shows that the prepara
tion of Oregon social science teach
ers does not come up to standards
set or accepted by institutions or
authorities on the subject. For ex
ample, it points out that 408 teach
ers of these subjects were studied
and the complete college courses of
210 were found. Of these 36 had
never studied history in college, 72
had no economics, 92 no sociology,
114 no political science, and 18 no
professional educational course.
It was found that teachers in

685 Willamette St.
the various high schools of the
state are called upon to teach a
wide range of subjects. Among
these numerous combinations 334
were found combining history with
other subjects, 107 combinations
with civics, 24 teaching sociology
with its combinations, and 20 com
bining economics with other sub
jects.
Research for the report went back
to 1899, and continued up to last
year. The average number of his
tory hours studied in college was
greater in the early years of this
period, and after the war period a
decided decline is evident.
The solution offered by the report
for this existing unpreparedness of
university students to teach social
sciences in the high schools of the
state lies in an increase in the
nnmber of hours spent in the study
of history and other social sciences.
