Kappa Sigmas
Win Way to
Donut Finals
Betas Take Lease on Life
And Tally in Ninth;
Many Fatalities
Two games were played yesterday
in the donut tournament. Kappa
Sigma shut out the Betas, 6 to 0,
in the first contest, and the Dolts
trounced Phi Sigma Kappa, 7 to 1,
in the second. Kappa Sig’s victory
advanced them to the finals in the
upper bracket with the Spee’s. The
Delta reached the second round of
the consolation section.
Swede Westergren, of basketball
reput, dribbled in the only shot that
spoiled a perfect day for Dave
Adolphe, Kappa Sigma hurler.
Swede’s bingle came in the first
inning, and the next Beta to reach
first base was Hall, who drew a
walk in the last canto. The can
nonading that featured the Beta’s
win over Psi Kappa was silenced by
Adolph’s sharp-shooting. Adolph
picked off nine big guns of the
Betas at the plate, and the rest
dropped dead before they reached
first.
Kappa Sig found the range for
three runs in the first inning. Jame
son poled out a triple that scored
Bhinehart. Gunther walked Gabriel,
and Mautz singled to tally both
Jameson and Gabriel. The Kappa
Sigs located the target three times
in the fourth. Mautz, Shields, and
Woodcock walked. Handley was
out at first, but Mautz came in on
the throw. Shields and Woodcock
scored when Adolph scorched a
single past short.
Jerry Gunther did some sharp
shooting himself. Ho struck out
seven Kappa Sigs, and allowed but
three bingles. Five walks and fail
ure of his team-mates to hit spelled
Jerry’s defeat.
In the second game the Delta had
little trouble winning from Phi Sig
ma Kappa. They scored one run in
the first and seven in the second.
Wagner scored Phi Sigma Kappa’s
lone counter in the last inning.
Jack Bliss, donut manager, an
nounced that the final games in
each bracket will bo seven innings
instead of the usual five.

| Colassal Statues of King Rameses
Visited by Miss Burgess in Egypt
Temples of Karnak, Luxor, Dendera, and Edfu
Lend Color of Osiris and Ammon Re
(Editor’s note: The story of her
Egyptian travels is here continued
by Miss Julia Burgess. The conclud
ing portion of her letter will be
published tomorrow.)
At Assouan we visited the quar
ries from which the great red gran
ite obelisks were taken in remote
ages; and we walked out on “The
I Sleeping Obelisk,’’ only partly
! hewn away from the rock. It lay
in a slant, 92 feet long .The sides
and top, 10 feet wide, had been
I beautifully smoothed, but the mass
; had never been cut loose at the bot
! tom. Our leader expressed the belief
i that these obelisks were conveyed
| on thin mud to the boats which were
, to carry them down the river,
j Of the temples I will describe on
I ly one, the one least often visited,
| Abu Simbel, near the second eata
j ract and the edge of the Soudan.
I There are two temples here, both
hewn in the side of the stupendous
red sandstone cliff rising from the
sands along the river. Here that su
preme advertiser of all history,
Kameses II, decided to place remind
ers of his power and greatness on
the direct path of all who traveled
to and from the southland. The larg
er and finer of the temples pre
sents on its facade, which is the
smoothed and sculptured face of the
cliff, four colossal seated statues of
Raineses. “They are so much the
largest figures ever executed in
stone that they permit no compari
son.” Better Still, they are in per
fect proportion to the cliff on whose
face they are carved, and have no
appearance of over size.
The hall within is supported by
two rows of Osiris pillars the face
of each Osiris being a portrait of
Rameses, some of them in almost
perfect preservation. At the ex
treme end are represented Ammon
Re, God of the Sun, and Rameses,
side by side. The orientation of the
building is such that at the equinox
the sunrise casts its rays directly
upon the figure of the Sun God. It
was arranged for our party to make
one of its three visits to this temple
at sunrise. The sun does not fall yet
exactly on the figure of the god,
but it flooded the apartments and
lit up the figures in the red sand
stone to resplendence.
Another interesting visit was the
one made in the evening. Mr. Fara
jnllah’s men had strung electric
lights along the bank and up to the
entrance of the temple, where the
current connected with wiring in the
temple, and the whole place was il
luminated by power from our boat.
It was a unique experience to see
tho temple of Rameses the Great,!
luting from about 1250 B. C., lit'
by Americans as for a festal proces- j
bun on the edge of the vast Libyan
lesert.
Tho second temple, balancing the j
'irat at a distance, was built by
Rameses for his queen Nefretere. On
its face stand in relief two great
statues of the queen, four of Ram
eses himself. This may seem like
egotism on the part of Rameses, but
perhaps he exceeded most records
of ancient and modern times in
building any temple in honor of his
wife. Even in the great temple he
had little wife statues beside him
reaching nearly to his knee, and
tiny princesses stood about his toes
and ankles, indicating that he was
an affectionate monarch, inclined
to the domestic as well as the grand
iose.
We are rapidly leaving Nubia be
hind and re-approaching lower
Egypt, of which much has been
written. Of its temples Karnalc is
impressive for the stupendous size
of its columns in the famous hypo
style hall; Luxor for the beauty of
its lotus pilla* colonnades; Dendera
and Edfu for their completeness.
At Luxor we went to the site of
ancient Thebes, passing the Colossi
of Memnon, still sitting, but scarce
ly recognizable as portraits of
Amcnhotep, the Magnificient.
Rounding a pass that led behind
the first row of desert cliffs, we
came into a narrow valley inde
scribably weird and desolate. Here
was a waste of chalky whiteness*
girt around by limestone cliffs—
the Valley of the Tombs
of the Kings. Forty-eight
Pharaohs are known to have been
buried here. We visited the tomb of
Tut-Ankh-Amen, which is open only
on certain days and into which only
six persons are admitted at once,
a Carter representative as well as
Egyptian officials keeping a care
ful count of all entering and leav
ing. One descends ancient steps into
the tomb which is small, of two
chambers hollowed out of the rock,
so that it is most surprising that
all the treasures found could have
been packed into its small area.
The inner sarcophagus, of gold, is
there; in it is the outer of the mag
nificient gold and enamel mummy
cases, of which the other two are
in Cairo museum. This gold case
represents the recumbent king with
hands crossed and lidding the sym
bols of Osiris. The mummy of Tut
Ankh-Amen rests in this case. He
was one of the minor kings; one
can judge of the probable splendor
of other tombs by the riches found
in this.
When the tomb had been excavat
sd and the sarcophagus and attend
ant treasure had been put in place,
Hie desert sand forming a talus
igainst these cliffs was heaped up
n its original position and no trace
eft;—all this because so long as
•he body or a presentment of it
•ould persist unmarred, the soul or
‘double” could have a home in
vliicli to continue existence in the
ifter-world.

Vocational Guidance
Tests to be Given by
Professor Taylor
Professor' Howard E. Taylor, as
sistant professor in psychology, is
in correspondence co-operation with
E. K. Strong, graduate of the school
of business at Stanford, and is con
ducting vocational guidance tests
for all seniors in the University
which will measure their fitness for
a number of occupations.
“Of course all occupations de
mand a certain amount of general
ability and some demand special
ability,” Professor Taylor said.
“Driving power appears to depend
upon the active interest in the pro
fessional duties of one’s occupation,
and contentment and satisfaction
depends to a great extent on the re
action of the individual to the
personal, social and physical envir
ment of his work.
“The blanks used to conduct these
tests represent the most promising
method yet devised for vocational
guidance as they show whether a
person has reactions similar to the
successful people in these occupa
tions.”
Professor Taylor recommends
these tests to all seniors as it is
not only an opportunity to see how
this important analysis is conduct
ed but at the same tile to gain
some information of vital impor
tance for themselves. Blanks can
be filled out at room 305 Condon for
the rest of this week.

Part of this plan has already been
