Economies Field For Psychology, Says Dr. Gilbert * _ Progrpss To Increase' ns Traits Are Studied in Place of Instinct ! - I A great field in science is open to ■ the psychological economist, declnr- ; cd Dr/James IT. Gilbert, dean of the j college of literature, science and arts, and head of the economies de partment of the University of Ore gon, in speaking before the Social Science Kesoareh club Monday even ing “Through investigation in this di rection we will be able to place both the theory of value and of distribution on a 'more certain basis and around these two concepts are grouped most of the signifieient problems of the economic science,” I)r. Gilbert said. “The findings of the psychologists will also open the wav to numerous applications in ad vertising and in the affairs of busi ness. “Tims psychology, the most human of sciences, will be able to make j very vital contributions to the in- i tensely human problems that belong to the social ‘science of business.’ ” Pointing out that some of the outstanding contributions to cconom ie thought have been through the psychology of want and the attitude toward present and future enjoy ments, Dean Gilbert declared that the psychological economist has made but a bare beginning in this | work. Progress in this field will | be more rapid in proportion as the economists reject the notion of in- | stinet and confine their attention j to the study of traits that are in grained rather than inborn, ho said. I)r. Gilbert’s address was one of a series that will be given before the club by various members. The club topic, for this year is the psy chological foundation of various types of social thought.

Record time for events that was accounted fast by followers of aquatic sports a few years hack is no longer found in the final results of conference swimming meets. Swimming has been moving along with the. tide of athletic profieency that has been improving the qual ity of intercollegiate sport of late years, and is becoming 'more and more popular with northwestern colleges. University of Washington, Washington State college and the University of Idaho arc all building pools, and next year will compete with the present conference teams. In the comparatively short space of time since Edward F. Abercrom bie became chief mentor of swim ming at the University of Oregon :n 192!), the record time in every conference event, lias been lowered very appreciably. The low time limit lias not yet been reached, and present records will bo clipped in several events, this year, if the time made in practice heats in the pool this season is duplicated in the 'meets. Three seasons asro 1:02 was looked upon as fast record for the 100-yard men to aim at. Last year Orville Peterson, of O. A. C., set a new Pacific Northwest intercollegiate record of 07 seconds flat for the event. During the season, .Tolinny Anderson, of Oregon, made the dis tance in only two-fifths of a second less than this record. Coach Aber crombie confidently predicts An-' derson to be. within the DO second margin this year. Art Ericson, former Oregon star back stroke man, who dropped out of the University in 1025, made a record of 2:10 in the 150 yard back stroke event that was considered ex ceptionally fast. Today, Julian Smith holds the University pool rec ord in that ovent, and the 1*. N. W. I. record at 2:05.4. Here at Oregon there is no lack of fast back-stroke men who have approached or passed the present record. Willis Fletcher, Ed Kier, Johnny Allen and Bob Me Alpin have equalled this time. John ny Anderson, who holds the Pacific Northwest association record of 1:55.9, has bettered his own time &leckuc PHONH 300 856 Olive Street Sweaters Cleaned Without Shrinking 75o & $1.00 Funf • AND HOW!

Today and Thursday THE BEST FOR THE REX GUEST in practice and should sot a new record. in the . 220-yard free style Bob Boggs, ’27, of last year’s varsity, used to win this event in 2:48. But last season Lee Hover, Aggie star, won this event in 2:47, and Chafles Silverman, Oregon frosh, won the event in the frosh meet in 2:42. In practice at the University pool Johnny Anderson and Chet Floyd, ’21, have swum well below the 2:40 marie. The 440-yard free style race, new event added by the conference last season, has shown less improvement in time than the longer established events. However, Charles Silver man promises to lower last year’s mark of (i:07 made by Lee Hover of O. A. C., for, in trials, he lias considerably lowered George Hors falls’ Multnomah club record of 0:48.8. A pretty race is anticipated when these two meet in the Mult nomah pool January 28. Some rec ord is bound to become obsolete. Twenty-six and three-fifths sec onds used to win the 00-yard dash event in conference meets. .Orville I’eterson, former O. A. C. swimmer, and Dana Thomas, Multnomah club dash man, hold the joint P. N. A. record of 20 seconds flat, at present. Johnny Anderson and Chet Floyd are well within the 20 second class and may make the title a four-cor nered affair or break it. In the intcrcollegifrte breast stroke event "Willie Fletcher holds the present record of for the Pacific coast conference short course (CO-foot pool), fur 250 yards. He. made the record last year, previous to this time Bill McGregor had been elockod at 3:03 to hide the former! I record of 3:05 made by Jack Sav ory, of O. A. C.
