Freshman Grammar
Had, Says Shumaker
Fiij2;li«li A Course Needed
Mosl hy Business Men
Most freshmen know very little
about grammar when they enter the
university, according to Kenneth I,.
Shumaker, supervisor of Knglish A.
Seventeen members of the freshman
Knglish A class failed last term.
There were 13 enrolled in the
course.
“The trouble with teachers of
high school grammar is that they
give it to students in rote form,
parrot like,” said Mr. Shumaker.
“In Older to use correct grammar,
logical thought is necessary, as well
as the lucre application of rules."
The human being is not. logically
minded, according to Mr. Shumaker.
3fe tends to think ill scraps and
fragments, so it is difficult for him
to cvprcss himself in a different [
way.
“To my mind, the upshot of all
tills,” said Mr. Shumaker, ‘‘is that
an Knglish A course is primarily
for business or professional men.
The aesthete's literary mistakes go
to a seminar of literature, but the j
lawyer's errors go to jail, and the
doctor's, to the graveyard."

My First. Job
Professors Relate How
First Money Earned
“My first job,” said Pr. Frederick
S. Dunn, head of the department, of
Latin, “was teaching sidiool at
Briicoport, Washington, in the sum
mer of 1801 between my junior and
senior years at. the University of
Oregon. Brueepnrt, was located on
Slmwlwater Bay, and was said to
have been tlie first, settlement, in
that, part of Washington, but even
at, that time the population had
dwindled to almost nothing.
“There were only four children
attending school quarter-breed In
dians all belonging to one family,
but each belonged to a different
grade.”
Pr. Punn could not recall the sal
ary he received as teacher in the
four grade Washington School. “1
do remember, however,” he said,
“that I spent most of it for board.
1 lived with the quarter-breed. In
dian family with the four school
children. I lived principally on
rice, corned beef, and cabbage, and
I got fat on it. In fact, 1 raised
jjny first mustache on it.”
Portland Advised

Australian Trade
America’s Business Willi
Antipodes Is Increasing,
Says Professor Fowler
Not. only the Far East, but Ans
j.tralia and New Zealand as well,
should interest Fort of Portland
shipping interests, deelares William
A. Fowler, professor of foreign
trade at the University of Oregon,
who has just reviewed a concise,
graphic description of Australian
Trade in the Paeifie by F. Ben
ham, lecturer In economies at the
University of Sydney.
“It may not be generally known
.that Australia imported products
from America from 1 f>2.‘! to 1027 to
the value of 118,900,000 pounds ster
ling, or nearly $200,000,000 yearly,”
says Professor Fowler. “The signifi
canl thing about this total is that
from 190.1 to 1909 the yearly aver
age of imports from America was
tint (i,100,000 pounds, nr slightly
over $.'10,000,000.
Imports Small
“On the other hand America im
ports but 9,800,000 pounds worth
of material from Australia, or $10,
(100,000, which gives us the tremen
dous trade balance of four to one.
This means that Australia is a great
market for American made goods
and a genuine source of revenue.
“For the fiscal year ending dune
10, 1927, imports from the United
Slates showed another gain, reach
ing the total of 41,400,000 pounds
sterling. The produets of automo
bile manufacture were highest, with
a Inlal of 10,.100,000 pounds value.
.Machinery of alt other kinds was
next with 0,400,000 pounds, then
came nils at 1,700,000. Timber sent
was valued at 2,400,000, apparel
2,100,000, tobacco 1,900,000, and
bunts and shoes 1,200,000.”
Another factor making for trade
increase is the fact that the general
tendency is toward the Paeifie
haxin. Professor Bonham believes,
la the last IS years Australia has
increased her Paeifie exports from
II to 21 per cent nt1 her total, and
her imports from 22 to 97 per cent
of the total.
Portland Well Located
Portland may share in this trado
only insofar as shipping interests
here go out. for the business, Mr.
Fowler points out. Direct sailings
from Portland for the south seas
and even direct to Australia should
bo encouraged whenever possible.
A close slinly of the Australian
market would doubtless reveal vast
possibilities for Northwest products,
while much that comes from the
Middle West could well be cleared
from Portland for Australia.
A study of products from Aus
tralia is also recommended, since
the Pacific. Northwest is a logical
market, or at least a point of receipt.

Sigma Delta Chi Pledges Decry
Snow Used With Cutting Effects
By C. F. C.
Clang-clnng-cbng —an engine of j
the Fugene fire department speeded 1
up Thirteenth street and stopped at
the library, and a large crowd gath
ered to see what all the excitement
was about. Five men, clothed in
“soup and fish” dross from head to
foot, with canes, top hats, “boiled
front.” shirts, and all the rest of the
“fixings,” jumped off the back of
the “fire-buggy.”
Those who did not realize exactly
what was in the air queried,. “And
when did our little fire laddies be
gin wearing full dress suits to put
out fires?” But the ruse was dis
covered when the five jumped off
the truck and walked sedately up the
library stops and began making
speeches. Then the crowd discovered
it was the neophytes of Sigma Delta
Chi, professional journalism frater
nity, pulling one of their semi
annual pre-initiation stunts.
Crowd Throws Snowballs
All went fine, until the thrill
hungry crowds, seemingly tiring of
such dull sport as listening to hum
orous speeches, decided to make
good use of the snow which was at
hand in such copious quantities.
Then the fun began—for the audi
ence. The first snowball went over
the speaker’s head, and splattered
harmlessly on the library Wall in
hack of him. This kind of play was
all right with the neophytes until
someone became bored of merely
throwing at. the wall and decided
that the speakers would make fine
targets.
They did make good targets, ton

Campus Fire Hazards
Greatly Diminished
Taylor Inspects Living
Quarters in University
E. A. Taylor, of tlip state fire
marshal’s office, lias recently fin
ished an inspection of student room
ing conditions and states that fire
hazards in the fraternities and sor
orities here are greatly reduced over
what was found a year ngo.
Most; of the living organizations
and houses where ten or more people
are housed above the first floor have
installed fire escapes and gongs, and
have all complied well with the state
laws to that effect. Rubbish and
other fire hazards have been re
moved.
Mr. Taylor also says that the uni
versity authorities have given Tine
cooperation through the office of
the dean of men and the dean of
women in seeing that the recom
mendations of the fire marshals have
been carried out by tho organiza
tions.
Recommendation for the improve
ment of the condition of some SO
residences housing university stu
dents will be made as in the case
of the fraternities and the action
of the owners checked by the of
ficials. Those who do not comply
will probably be refused future list
ing by tho university housing offi
cials, according to Mr. Taylor.

made the crowd howl with glee and
induced rhe throwers on. Finally
deciding that, snow did nut, do
enough damage the throwers began
picking up the flaky ice which cov
ered the snow, and began using it
with disastrous effects. The cring
ing victims began to slowly work
their way down the steps, amid a
hail of missiles as bad as ever any sol

anxiously listening for the sound of

them away from the “maddening

the fury of the snowballers and
stayed on the top steps to finish
their speeches.
Two Receive Injuries
Finally, a welcome sound, the low
whirr of a slow-moving siren, came
to the embattled pledges, and they
began to break for safety, not, how
ever, without opening up a casualty
list. Scott Milligan, after he had
finished the final speech, came down
the steps to be met by an ice-ball
which hit squarely in his left eye,
cutting the eyelid below it, and
bruising it to such an extent that
it immediately began to puff up.
Cecil Snyder also stopped one of
the deadly halls with his nose with
the result that he received a bad
cut on his nose.
So with the clanging of the bell
and the shriek of the siren the five
pledges, Cecil Snyder, Joe Brown,
Clarence Craw, Leonard Delano and
Scott Milligan, were borne away on
the fire-buggy to elose, another
event in campus history.
