Proxy Leaves For Student Head Meet “International polities and the question of abolishing war are earn ing more and more before the peo ple of the world, and colleges of the country are beginning to take a part in the affairs of tho nation,” says doe MeKeowo, student body presi dent, who left last night for Colum bus, Mo., to attoud a convention of Student body officers. The multilateral treaty to re nounce war, otherwise known as the Kellogg peace pact, will be one of the topies brought up before tin* meetings for discussion. Following a decision for or against the treaty, the collegiate group will submit an opinion to the F. S. Congress on their findings. Athletic woes, East-West games, million dollar football troubles and student publication problems will all be discussed by the student body officers. Oregon is reported to be angling for a football game with an eastern or mid-west school for next fall and McKeown, on his tour of the corn belt states following the convention, mnv call on several universities, in eluding Minnesota, and talk over the question. Games between the “Hig Ten” conference teams and the coast elevens have boon rare in the past few years and an Oregon-Minnosota j or Oregon-Tnwa game would draw | big crowds whether played in T*nrt { land or in the middle western cities.

Dr. Hodge Talks Of Winter Snows And Good Will Subject of Friendliness Between State Sections Interesting, He Slates “An interesting sociological study ! roil Id be made id’ tlie physical basis that, determines the difference in attitudes and feelings between the ! inhabitants of eastern Oregon and Washington, and those of western Oregon and Washington, who are prevented from friendly intercourse by the show buried Oascades during the winter time,” Or. K. T. Hodge, professor of geology, asserted in an interview yesterday. The remark was occasioned by a I newspaper article describing an | avalanche in the Arlberg pass, I Switzerland,, which buried a whole [train, trapping HO passengers and two ears of wild animals of the 1 Barnum circus for 52 hours. “The yearly battle with snow is not confined to the mountains of lOurope,” Or. Hodge went on to say. “In our own Pacific North west. the Great Northern railway recently completed a tunnel seven miles long in Washington through the Cascades in order to avoid the expense, said to be a. million dol lars a year, in maintaining snow I sheds. “I recall vividly a trip over that line a few days before last Christ mas. Prom the car windows we looked up to I ho rim of the snow banks towering 15 to 20 feet above our heads. Here and there we could I see the tips of the fir trees emerg ing from the vast waste of snow.” A.rf>ther example cited by TV. Hodge of a tunnel built to avoid avalanches of snow is the Moffett tunnel in Colorado completed during the last, year after many years of ! agitation because the snowy Rocky mountains had for so long served as a gigantic, Chinese wall separat ing eastern and western Colorado. in the same way, l)r. Hodge point ed out, the Cascades are a barrier between eastern and western Ore gon. “The Columbia gorge does not completely furnish a means of com munication since tlie snow slides are a constant danger there and nearly always block the gorge for a period of time during the winter. “Snow slides and deep snows in 1 Oregon are one of our tiiggest, gov ernmental pioblems and should be attached liy our legislators. It is not a question of how many ears would pass over a line through the Cascades in the winter time. It is a question of encouraging friendly communication between the two parts of the Oregon empire.” Phi Theta Upsilon Sponsors Discussion On Modern Novels Discussion of modern novels and original poetry has filled the pro grams of the Musike chapter of the organization sponsored this year by Phi Theta Upsilon, junior service organization. The aim of the group is to gain a better acquaintance with literary contemporaries and to I stimulate members to do original writing.

Hall Figures Out War Cost For Schools Huge Sum Would Go To Every University if U. S. Sliced Melon Oregon President Takes Look at World Fraeas Unoli of the ,"()0 lending colleges ; in the United Strifes could have n permanent endowment of $333,333,- t RtfAH Dr. Hall if TII0 fUTKla that the United States used in thej late World War could be divided among them, it is declared by T>r. A r n o I d Bennett Hall, after a study of a recent state ment by President Coolidgc, in which he estimated the cost of the war to ii in run ill iv .11 uni ii ii in i mi i minim dolln rs. , “This permanent, o n d o w m out would yield a sum of nearly $20, 000,000 a year for each institution, enough to more than care for all their needs. In the case of the University of Oregon, this would lie 20 times the income we now re ceive,” said l)r. Hall. “Such a sum invested in educa tion would open up great fields of research, it would bring the bene fits of education to everyone, it would bring the joys of art and lit erature to the masses, and progress of the entire country would be at a rate never before known in history. This would be a nation of happy, contented people who were getting the utmost out of their daily life. Would Fight Wars “This should be one of the strong est arguments against war. Tire ex penditure of this vast sum of money has brought no economic advantages to our country. It has not enriched us in any way. In addition to its terrific cost, the war brought un told grief and misery, and saddled the nation with debts that the com ing generations will have to pay, though they have had no part in the struggle themselves. “ Figures compiled by the Carnegie endowment for International Peace show that lit,000,000 soldiers of all countries died during the war, and that 10,000,000 more people died as a result of indirect causes. The hundred billion dollars that the war cost this country alone would have educated and made very useful citi- ! zeus of this 3(1,000,000, and would have paid for their education from the time they started school until they' graduated from college or uni versity. 11 is easy to see how much more benefit the world would have received had this money' been spent in this way.” ‘Educate for Peace*—Hall Education for pence is advocated by Dr. Hall, who believes that wars can be abolished when people realize ’ that they are not an adequate wea pon for settling disputes. “ Even after a war has been fought and won the participants must still resort to conferences and arbitration to settle the controversy. Why could not this he done before the fighting, so that the tremendous loss of life might be saved? Often, too, the victor is the heaviest eco nomic loser, and is so crippled that : he falls an easy prey to some other nation that he could have main tained superiority' over if he could have preserved his economic forces,” says Dr. Hall. Dr. Hall is a member of several nationally known societies, and is! regarded as an authority on social science problems. A series of arti- . eles entitled “Social Science Solu tion to Peace Problem” tire now be ing published in many newspapers in this and other states. !

Reinhart, assistant professor of German, to lie held at the Three Arts club, 111 d University street, next Tuesday evening, December 11, at 8 p. m. “The aim of the dub will be to continue the class work on a higher level and in different forms,” says Dr. Reinhart, “and to use language and literature as instru ments for understanding and ap preciation of a. foreign civilization.” I As a means to this end Reinhart plans the formation of a. troupe of players to .present plays of German origin, with particular emphasis on ancient and modern German “follc plavs” as expressing more clearly the feeling and spirit of the Ger man people. Other subjects which may be studied are German art, music, and philosophy. Study and research will not oc cupy all the time of the members of the proposed club. Social af fairs and outdoor recreation will receive their share of attention, ac cording to Reinhart. Dr. Reinhart is new on the cam pus tliis year, having recently come over from Germany, whore lie hold a position as editor of a publishing house.

Term Grades Will Be Sent To Parents Through ISetv Plan Students who will not be at home during the Christmas vacation will not receive a Teport of their fall term grades unless they leave a stamped, self-addressed envelope at the registrar’s office. A new system is being put into use of sending the grades to the PS Cents. Since the abolishment of the “scandal sheet” two years ago the grades have been sent only to the students who left envelopes at the office. Copies will be sent to the students later if they make the proper arrangements for it. Special envelopes have been print ed by the dVomen’s league for this purpose, and the money received from them will be placed in the new infirmary fund. These bear the saying, “The University of Oregon Needs a New Student Hospital,” and are already stamped. They are white with green printing. Joanne Patterson, head of this in firmary committee of the league, urges that the students purchase these and thus aid the infirmary fund.
