« S O C I E. T Y » By Dorothy Baker Another Homecoming has passed successfully and with it the usual Homecoming signs, rally parade, burning of the “O” on Skinner’s butte, campus luncheon, Homecom ing game, and dance at McArthur court in'honor of all Oregon gradu ates. Campus events, however, have not been the only affairs to make the past week-end a busy one, many organizations have been busy enter taining alumni guests with fireside parties, alumni breakfasts, teas and banquets.

The Igloo was decorated with a welcoming sign above the orohos k tra and appropriate signs of “Ye Old Oregon Spirits” above the re freshments.

City Log Books of University Lights Record Pulse of Campus Activities > Graders May Use Charts For Rating of Students The university lias a pulse, if tlie log books of the city liglit sub station over across the railroad tracks on Eighth street are to be taken seriously. Some doctors can tell when a patient lias been chewing his finger nails too much by simply feeling his pulse. But they’ve got to be smart to do that. And, getting nearer the point, who says our own select circle of paper graders are not smart? These graders are famous for skill which they have developed through long research in use of the tradi tional, and time honored gravity sys tem, in which papers are tossed into the air and graded with respect to the spots on which they come to lest. Bits of touching originality have been added from time to time, and intricate variations have result ed in computing grades in this meth od, but all have the same general effect. Some prefer to give I’s to those papers which stand erect on the floor, while others give the rat ing of excellent only to those re maining on the chandelier. But however beautiful this custom has become, it must give way to science. The age of witch doctorey has passed. The university light line has a separate meter on the city switch board, and this meter records more variations in the evenings and dur ing the week than any of tlie meters for other parts of town. By looking at the log books, into which these meter records are placed every half hour, or hour, one can usually tell from looking at the figures nisi a* what hour *ind clay they wore placed there.' When students turn out their lights upstairs and come down to dinner the meters drop, hut again rise and reach their peak at about eight o’clock. At 12 o’clock the low point is touched every day ex cept (Saturday; then the number of kilowatts flowing to the school dis trict is remarkably high. More light is used on Mondays and Tues days, as a rule, than on other days, and less is used on Sundays. After examination periods tlfe amount of light used does not bring the meters to registering point, and the opera tors have to guess at the readings. Graders can borrow the log books from the city, and substitute the tangible scientific, data found in them for the Medieval magic which they employ at present. Students will be better satisfied when they realize that their papers have been graded on a basis of some such mathematical formula as A plus It squared over k.vv. equals tho pro Aluct of the term grade times Y [ minus X. !

",mrt TODAY WEDNESDAY WILLIAM FOX All the thrills that, befall a news cameraman, when ro mance starts turning the crunk — With — NICK STUART SALLY Plum* Also COMEDY REX MUSIC NIGHT 25c Matinee 20c Miss Anna Thompson Calls Spain Country of Artists and Thinkers Picturing Spain as n country of | remarkable resources and her people as fine thinkers and great artists, Miss Anna Thompson, instructor in Romance languages who spent this past summer abroad, professes her self as an ardent admirer of the southern European nation. Miss Thompson, who by virtue of having made her home in Madrid from 14)09 to 1919 as a teacher in the University of Madrid, is an ' authority on .Spanish life and cus toms there, was in Spain two months this summer. She visited friends whom she had not seen since leaving the country in 1919 when she gave up her position as a teacher in the International Institute in Madrid. “Certainly Spain is a poor natioi) and has always been,” she admitted. “But I disagree with those who say that her people are not industrious. It is that they are not industrial, rather than that they are not in dustrious. As a nation, the Span iards are given more to the pursuit of a life rich in art and beautiful things than the Americans. "Perhaps,” she suggested sagely, “America could exchange some of her commercial ambition for a share of Spain’s aesthetic ambition. Spain Rich in Resources “Spain has unusually fine re sources everything but coal, in fact,” went on the language teacher. “The reason for their national pov erty probably is that foreign nations have always handled their resourc es,” she reflected. “It is a matter of regret that the educational system is still poor, though it has been greatly improved and is steadily being bettered. Op portunities for young women in ob taining an education are noticeably increased.” The school in which Miss Thump son taught was institutisl b,y a group of Americans who, after the war, arranged to co-operate with the Spanish government in maintaining it. The institution, explained Miss Thompson, is regarded as I he first model school in Spain, and tire pres ent system of education is patterned after the American plan as it was iutrod-ttced dry-the- intinumlional in stitute. Story Told Miss Thompson brought back with her some lovely pieces of lace, to the purchase of which “there hangs a tale.” “While 1 was teaching in Spain I made a trip south to Lagar tcra, where we saw some peasant h ESI $2.00 METROPOLITAN l'rescntiil ion rit Popular Prices!

It inter ! osted us so much that we bought, some. We encouraged them to soil it, and they took our suggestion. Since then they have been making periodical trips to Madrid, where they market their handiwork. I chanced to see a group of those same women in Spain this summer and they recognized me -so of course I bought lace,” related the ! instructor. Miss Thompson lias a charming collection of Spanish pottery and she added several pieces to it this summer while in Spain. "My visit this summer was it quiet one—devoted to study and to renewing old acquaintances,” she said. “Among these friends were scholars and authorities who told me much of interest about the | Spanish government; but because these, discussions were in strict con fidence 1 cannot reveal any of the utterances,” Miss Thompson con tinued. She could not be prevailed to discuss the political situation, explaining that in Spain whero General Prime de Rivera is dictator, tin' government suppresses the news papers and political talk is heard very little -then in quiet circles. " I can give you no impression as to whether wr not the Spaniards are satisfied with their government under Rivera.” With this the in terview turned to the British Isles, where Miss Thompson spent two weeks before going on to Spain. When two of Great Britain’s bet ter known Johns, namely Galsworthy and Masefield, fool the literary urge encroaching and want to find “.scenic atmosphere” for its expres sion, they straightway hie them selves to tradition-warmed little old t'ushendun, one of those villages in northern Ireland, where thatch cot tages and cobblestone streets really survive. So related Miss Thompson, de scribing her visit to the “Emerald Isle” where she was the guest of friends in Belfast. A drive ovev the coast country of Ireland is strangely suggestive of a trip down the Columbia river highway, ac cording to the faculty member. " Automobiles in Europe look more like bathtubs on wheels,” Miss Thompson vouchsafed laughingly. "Visitors always notice the differ ence in European vehicles which are usually much smaller than our ears.” ANCHORAGE LUNCHEON MENU 40c Cream of tomato soup Choice of — Hot Roast I’ork Sandwich, sweet potatoes Minced 11am and Scrambled Eggs Creamed Oysters on Toast Alamo Salad Tea Biseuils Mashed Potatoes O iagei bread, whipped cream Ice Cream Tea - Coffee - Mills esiiiiiiHii IlillWIlilffl 111 JUST CALL -2952W lor delivery of anything on our menu, any evening from 6 to 1. ■ v- ■ .( 0 ■> t- 'I Lunch (Below (lie Co-op on 13th) illinium ■llllimillMlllllBlllimilllMIIUMIIllinillinilllUBIIIIIBIIIIMlillMIIIIMlIIIKIIil TODAY and WEDNESDAY Usual Prices Shows at 7 and 9 Dolores Del Rio NO OTHER.
