Rising Denies T. N. E. Work University Is Determined To Punish Students Who Join I deny having organized a group of Theta Nu Epsilon, sub-rosa, on the campus; I deny having sold T. N. E. pins to anyone; and I have ; not taken any fees for membership | to such an organizat ioln. That’s what Frank Rising, representative j for the jewelry firm ojf Broschon until about February 22, said yes terday. Broschon is the fraternity jeweler for Theta Nu Epsilon, sub-rosa na tional organization, but since about February 22, when Rising was on the O. A. ('. campus, lie has not represented that firm, having sent! in his supplies on about that date, according to his own statement. , lie also gave the information that ''"Theta Xu Epsilon had a national organization as a regular organized, social fraternity with limited mem bership; and also a sub-rosa national organization, although the two are in no way connected, except for having the same name. Elmer L. Shirrcll, dean of men, stated that University of Oregon of ficials were more determined than ever that there will bo no unau thorized organizations of any kind on the campus, and that any stu dent who joined such an organiza tion will be subjected to severe disciplinary measures. “The Association of American Universities and the National Inter Fraternity Council do not tolerate membership in any such clandestine organizations; and Theta Nu Ep silon, sub-rosa, and Kappa Beta Phi . are named as antagonistic to frater „ * nity ideals,” Dean Shirrell said. Oregon State College Starts Memorial Drive OREGON STATE COLLEGE, March 2.— (P.T.P.)—Spoeches (barg ed with the enthusiasm and spirit of the Memorial union drive start ed the campaign on its way to a $120,000 goal on February 20. The drive among the freshmen and sophomore classes marks the final step toward the finishing and oc cupying of the union building. If the spirit and interest shown by the students in the opening drive is any indication of the extent to which they are goiiig to back the drive during the three-day campaign, an over-t lie-top movement is the prediction of campaign leaders. Team members of the freshman and sophomore classes showed their approbation of the union drive by subscribing a total of $25,050 at the luncheon for committee mem bers.

Tuttle Will Give Talk.on Religion rwo Problems Involved, Speaker States Mr. Harold S. Tuttle, assistant professor of edueation, will talk Sunday at the Congregational eliureh in “Whieh Is in Danger, Morqlity >r Religion?” According / to Mr. fettle the change in student thought n the last fifteen years is a change from the question of whether re igion is being disproved by seienee ir whether it is being displaced by leienee. The. present day question is more serious because: when re ligion is displaeed, morality breaks lown; but if it is merely disproved it is an intelleetnal question. “I find little evidence in talking with itudents,” says Mr. Tuttle, “in the lack of belief in religion but alarm ing evidence in the sense of the need for religion.” There are two problems involved, the intellectual need ill the pres ence of mystery and the moral need for altruism in complicated civiliza tion, says Mr. Tuttle. The need for religions intelligence is being dim inished by the claim of many scien tists that ultimately all iguorancej will be banished and all mystery removed. If religion were merely ignorance there might be some truth in that assertion, but mystery and ignorance arc not identical. Intel lectually every human value is a mystery. Ultimately science and religion will cease conflicting when everyone comes to recognize that science merely explains processes, that it cannot produce values. Just at present, however, colleges arc so emphasizing intelligence that there is little chance for the mystic ele ments of life to be cultivated. More serious than the challenge of religious ignorance is the assump tion that all social values can be secured through science. Religion once gave attention to material nec essities such as food, health and protection. When science provides these, as it is beginning to do, many will feel that the need for religion lias been removed. The fact is that when religion is freed from material service, it will be more capable of rendering its true serv ice of motivating ideal human con duct. Student Convention To Be Held at W.S.C.

Study of Life of Ancient World One Of Dr. Frederic S. Ditnn’s Hobbies A few years ago there appeared , in a numismatic magazine published: by the Elder Coin Company of New York a humorous essay entitled “The Man Without a Hobby” by T)r. Frederic R> Dunn, head of the Latin department of the University of Oregon. Such an individual, Dr. Dunn wrote, must be the most for- ^ lorn and lonesome person imagin-; able. Oregon’s genial Latin professor is in no sense of the word a “man without a hobby.” In fact he has a half dozen or more in which he indulges when he is not lecturing on the literature of Virgil or teach ing some dullard freshman the con jugation of do, dare( dedi, datus. Primarily Dr. Dunn is interested in the life of the ancient \yorid, and all of his hobbies, ranging from postage stamps to historical novels, bear either directly or indirectly oft this subject, he says. His office is 'filled with shelves bearing several hundred volumes on old Greece and Rome, and the walls of his classroom are lined with pictures of Roman and Greek art and architecture. rerliaps Dr. Dnnn’s most prizbd possession is a collection, of large brass Roman coins. “I have about 150,” he said, smiling, “ranging from the days, of Caesar to those of Theodosius the Great, covering a period of 500 years. It is a virtual history of Rome during that period, as eacTi coin bears the head of some Roman emperor.” Historical novels at one time at tracted the collective instincts of Dr. Dunn. “I had about 450 cov ering the ancient world from pre historic times to the Norman con quest of England,” he said. “A few years ago the University of Oregon saw fit to purchase the col lection from mo and they are now in the library.” “I am spasmodically at work on a historical novel myself,” Dr. Dunn continued after a pause. “It is called ‘Avc Caesar Imperator, ’ and is based upon the actual letters that passed between Cicerp and a yefrtgji/protigee J afe-bis: who was serving on the staff of Caesar, then the governor of Gaul,” In Dr. Dunn’s classroom stands a large projeefoscope, ever ready for the showing of some of the pictures on classical subjects that hq has collected. “I have about 30,000 pic tures dealing' wit^i art, • sculpture, mythology and history,he1 said. “I can scarcely conceive of teach ing my literature classes without them. I find them in all sorts of places. Needless to say I never let a bunch of old magazines go by without investigation.” Ordinarily one .would hardlyitliink of cartoons as having much con nection with Greece and Rome^ but; Dr. Dunn has a collection of nearly 2000 dealing with classical subjects. “Most of them are comparisons or. analogies,” he said. “For instance, there is one of Thbodore Roosevelt with his big stick represented as Hercules.” Perhaps Dr. Dunn’s greatest thrill came during the war when he was sent to Rome by the government to teach English to Italian officers. There he walked the streets of the “imperial city” where Caesar and his legions trod twenty centuries ago, and visited the Colloseuin and dozens of other Roman monuments that had long been familiar to him through his reading of literature i___ MESSY FRANKS Dr. Roijdl Qick OPTOMETRIST — OPTICIAN Next to First Nat’l Bank, Eugene and his varied collections of coins and stamps and novels and pictures and cartoons.
