charge of the Oregana,” said Joe
McKeown, A. S. 11. O. president.
“Her experience in .journalism makes
her well qualified for the position.
“Under her leadership and
through the advice of Mr. Turnbull
we are sure au excellent book will
be edited one that is in keeping
•with former years. We regret the
resignation of the former editor
and manager, but the Oregana must
be published and we are exceedingly
fortunate to secure such a capable
successor.”

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.”

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.

German Culture
Club Schedules
First Meeting
Croup Under Reinhart To
Give Folk Plays; Aims
To Ad.l To Class Work
A preliminary mooting of all Gor
man students interested in the or
ganization of a society for the study
of German culture and literature
lias been called by Dr. K. 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.

all records for Portland, and has
had unusual runs eleswhere.
“Lombardi, Ltd.,” is a character
stncjy of an Italian gown designer,
Tito Lombardi, and the play is
crammed with emotional suspense
and absorbing situations. It also
lends itself admirably to costuming,
and in the second act a gown is
created before the eyes of the aud
ience.
Matinees will be given on both
days, and university students will
be especially welcome at all per
formances.
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.
