Summer School Program Draws Many Inquiries Opportunity to Complete Work Given Those In Activities Summer sessions connected with the University in Eugene and Port land are creating much more inter est than ordinary this year, and promise to be unusually attractive. Dr. J. H. Gilbert, acting dean of the University, is of the opinion that all should take advantage of the many opportunities that will be offered in connection with them this year. “The program of creating a wider interest in the summer sessions has strengthened the curriculum of sum mer offerings to the point where it will prove unusually attractive to students in regular session,” said Dr. Gilbert. “Several of the sum mer school instructors are men of outstanding reputation in their fields and come from many different institutions representing different schools of thought and presenting various viewpoints. Kegular stu dents who remain for summer work will get the advantage of wider contacts without the expense in volved in visiting other universities. The summer Jecture program repre senting a variety of topics in which the gist of a whole course may be condensed into a series of two or three lectures- has proved both stim ulating and liberalizing. “Two special reasons make the summer school attractive to regular students,” he continued. “Those that have fallen behind in number of hours earned and will find it im possible to graduate on schedule unless extra hours are earned find the summer school an opportunity for catching up and 'graduating with my class. ’ Several students of this year’s junior class will find at the end of their senior year that a shortage of hours will compel them to stay for summer school in 1928 in order to graduate. A summer school course in the summer of 1927 as a forethought will be better than a summer session as an afterthought. “Many students are planning now to take part in student activities on an extended scale next .year. These activities, debate, oratory, journal ism, student management, athletics, all have large educational value but many students find it difficult to en gage in activities and at the same time carry creditably the normal load. A summer session with nine hours of earned credit will enable students to get ahead sufficiently to clip three hours a term from the schedule of academic work. This kind of foresight may mean a cred itable record in activities and studies rather than a mediocre rec ord in both.” D. M. Erb Selected to Succeed H. C. Frame Donald M. Erb, a graduate as sistant in economics at Harvard University, has been selected (to succeed Dr. H. C. Frame, professor of economics, who resigned to ac cept. a position in the University of Washington, according to James H. Gilbert, head of the economics department. Mr. Erb is a graduate of the University of Illinois and has been at Harvard for the past two years. ANOTHER DOUBLE BILL Dorothy Devore in IWilh . PERADViENTURE • A COLUMN OF CAMPUS VERSE.

The Pagan Altar A storm-broken tree With limbs self-knit; Knotty, twisted and deformed, Writhing in still agony Clings desperately to black rocks— Rocks like old men In long black robes, Bowed round an altar Pagan, stark and gray. A cross—uncouth and rude Leans sombrely Against a pallid sky, Broodingly still; and on its arms i With hands nailed fast A naked man, outcast. Grim mourners are the black, bowed rocks; * The tree, a shivering, frightened thing; But raucously the vulture cries As on the cross top, patiently, He waits cold death. KATHERINE PETERSON. Winter Along the fence the blackberry vine Clings purple-wet and cold. The Queen-Anne’s lace is but a line Of stems grown brown and old.

Wide cheek bones And sunken eyes that held The stoicism of the race From which she sprung; Her wide flat feet; And the phlegmatic calm that comes Out of the toil With soil, Out of the waiting for spring And fear of sudden rain When the grain is heaped Beady to be carried in Against the winter’s need. All this came to me As I glanced at her. And, suddenly, I felt my toes, Prehensile, digging Into the moist earth— And in my loins The potentiality For working, bearing. . . .

H. Gilbert Tells Church About Economic Depression ‘‘The deflation of American cur rency following IS* 20, the failure of the foreign demand for agricul tural produce, and the sweeping in crease in railway rates under the transportation act of 1920 is re sponsible for the depression of the farming industry,” said James H.

Dr. Gilbert pointed out that two fundamental reasons for the farm er’s present economic depression are found in the tendency for the rural population to increase more rapidly than that of the city and in the revolutionary changes affecting the use of farm machinery. “Another disadvantage of the farmer is found in the small scale enterprise and the difficulty of marketing small quantities of prod uce,” Dr. Gilbert continued. ‘‘Co operation of the farmers on an ex tensive scale does away with this evil, but it is difficult to perfect an organization national and interna-j tional in scope.” Dean Gilbert examined the Me-1 Nary-Haugen bill and declared it to be economically unsound.
