By MARGARET LOXG Vacation Marked By Social Affairs ' As Christmas vacation approaches and only one week-end remains be fore examinations, the main sub ject for discussion is the holiday season and the multitude of social events that have been planned to take place during the much wel comed eighteen days of leave granted from classes and studying in general. Afternoons find stu dents down town, rushing hurried ly from one store to another in an effort to do Christmas shopping, and on the streets, Christinas trees and holly being sold tend to add to the Christinas spirit and make a more clieeful atmosphere than ever. Perhaps the largest college affair scheduled in Portland will bo the Christmas College Ball at the Mult nomah hotel, December 27. This is an annual dance given for the bene fit of the foreign scholarship fund on the campus, and is sponsored by Women’s League. Tentative plans are being formu lated for various dances, teas, and bridge luncheons in Portland and as usual, rushing parties will oc cupy a prominent place on the social calendar.

Several additions and re visions have been made since the last edition was .published, the change having occurred in the edu cation, psychology, and English sec tions. Problems of the Class Hoorn, a new course, was written by Pro fessor AC. G. Beattie of the Exten sion division. Moral Training, by Professor H. S. Tuttle of the educational depart ment, is another new subject. Among other additional courses arc Expo sition, Narration, and Argument, by Miss Mary II. Perkins; Book and Play Ecvicwing, outlined by S. Stephenson Smith; Social Psychol og\’, by H. G. AVyatt, professor of psychology last year; and Introduc tion to Modern Social Problems, compiled by Dr. I’. A. Parsons, dean of the social work in Portland. Revisions to tho* English and American Poetry course were made by Pat V. Morrissitte, and some changes in the Educational Psy chology course were made also. The purpose and aim of the cor respondence school work is well ex plained by the diagram appearing j on tho cover of the new catalogue. An outline map of Oregon is covered with red lines which radiate from a brilliant dot representing Eugene. Students Employed by U. S. Mail Department UNIVERSITY OP CALIFORNIA, Los Angeles, Dee. 5.— (P.I.P.) — Over 500 Lb C. L. A. students will receive post office employment through tho alumni employment bureau, during Christmas recess. This exceeds last year’s quota by 200; the reason for this is that last Christmas’ mail was handled so suc cessfully by the university employ ees, that the post office officials decided to use university students entirely as extra workers. Last year, the average wage for ; two week’s work was $50, although some earned as high us $1110, wliilo tho lowest salary was $05; the aver age wage per hour was 05 cents.

You Love I Romane Studio 938 Willamette St. Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Plans Included in Architectural Exhibit Fantastic Creations by Ferris Show Cities in Air; University Sculptor Represented Renderings from the office of John Russell Pope of New York of the winning design in the competi toin for the memorial to Theodore Roosevelt, to be erected at Washing ton, D. C., mgy be seen in the exhibit at the architectural gallery on the second floor of the art building, this week. The essential idea of the monu ment is a. single living stream of wafer, about two feet in diameter, symbolizing the life of Rosocvclt, which will rise, gushing to a height of more than a hundred feet, and fall back into a decorative basin surrounded by colonnades arranged in circular form. The architect has planned that the monument should be coordinated with the general plan of the Capitol city. Directly in line with the United States Capitol may be seen the Washington and Lincoln monuments. The Roosevelt memorial would be placed on the bank of the Potomac river directly across the city from the White House, and would thus be given equal prominence with these other historic structures. One of the best points of the plan, according to John A. Walquist, a member of the architecture faculty, is that it is near the Potomac, yet does not obstruct the view to the river. ‘‘The structure has been magnificently conceived,” he stated. Photographs of drawings by Hugh Ferris, New York delineator and de i —— signer, which are imaginary solutions of the problem created in that city of high buildings, also appear in this exhibit. Many of Ferris’s drawings have been used to illustrate maga zine articles. Some are mere fantas tic creations, showing sidewalks ele vated 50 stories above the street, quiet terraces and gardens lifted be yond the surge of city life. Other drawings represent buildings stepped back so that the light may filter down to the streets which arc nar row canyons between the high build ings. The pencil sketches by Otto Kggers, architect in the office of John Russell Pope, are finely drawn. Many have been used for magazine illustrations. Among the potographs of executed work from the office of Goodhue Associates, Now York, . appear studies of the Nebraska State Capi tol rat Lincoln, Nebraska. Harry Camden, head of the sculpture de partment at the University of Ore gon, did some of the modelling for this structure. The relief work shows up to good advantage in the pictures. The exhibit, which was sent to the University of the American Insti tute of Architects, includes some architectural drawings from eastern schools, as well as the work of pro fessional eastern architects. It will remain in the gallery this week and next.
