Bishop Sumner Likens Loafers To the Brady pus / « Believes Selective Process Would Weed Ogt or Change So*callcdQpoths “If you have in your house, or among your acquaintances, a college loafer, who shows no tendency to wards work, then away with him,” Bishop Walter Tavlor Sumner, bishop of the Episcopal church of the state of Oregon, told the stu dents at the assembly Thursday morning in the Woman's building, iu bis speech on “The Genus Brady pus.” Bishop Sumner likened this indi vidual to the genus Bradypus, and defined it as a sloth, characteris tically slow, useless and time wasting. The student variety of this ani mal is colorless, the speaker went on to explain, and is a wonderful sleeper, fond of chocolate sundaes and girls. He hangs around on the campus and makes an excuse that he lias been ftick, that, he was out late the night before or that lie is a senior and should be dealt with leniently. There is that fellow, lie continued, wlio thinks only of his own senses and of the social side of College life, and then there is that one who is irregular, who lias no program and who rarely studies. He uses his brain to think of ways to evade studying; instead of get ting his own assignments he is con stantly quizzing his room-mate and borrowing his notes. ruts Duties off Habitually Auot her college bradvpus was characterized by Bishop Sumner as a person habitually putting duties oft' until tomorrow, excusing him self by saying that he is not a stu dent. “Of course,” said Bishop Sumner, “there are few in the uni versity who are scholars, but if an individual is not a student then why is he here? “Inheritance,” the speaker assert ed, “may indicate the trend of a person’s character but it does not, limit his capacity, and inherited trails may be overcome. Environ ment also plays a big part in the college career of a student . . what the individual is at home lie will be in college. Tf he could only see, as T have seen in many homes on my travels,” said the bishop, “the an xiety in the hearts of his parents, a great many of his .failures would be avoided.” Tlio bishop also stated that it is erroneous to believe that all loafefs come from homes of luxury. Many of them are working their way through college. It is »ot a question of finances, he be licios, but of attitude and tempera ment.

When a process of I choice was used only 15 per cent failed. “Do what you ean for the brady pus in your class or home,” the bishop urged, “nud try to change him from the genus bradypus to tho geuus hoinus.” Dean John .Straub presided over the meeting, and told the students j that Bishop Sunnier was one of his j most loved friends and that he1 | hoped they would take his message to heart. The speaker was intro-1 duced by Dean H. ]>. Sheldon, head of the education department. The invocation was given by Rev. Frederick G. Jennings, of the Epis copal church of Eugene. Kathryn Miller, senior in the school of nmsic, sang two songs, “Sweet. Miss Mary” and “Little Pickaninny Kid.” Dr. W. J.

Paul Shaw, of the Oregon Dads, ridiculed the talk of high taxes. “1 have paid taxes in Washington for twenty years,” he said, “and I have lived in Oregon for six years. I could pay double the tax I am now paying, and still not pay as much as 1 did in Washington. I promise you that tho 3000 Oregon dads and mothers will be right behind the legislature if il levies a little spe cial lax to give Dr. llall what he wants. I am tired of hearing about | old man deficit.” Mrs. Crane, representing the Ore gon mothers, appealed for a new infirmary at the university. If the legislature will appropriate $50, 000, she said, the Oregon Mothers pledge themselves to raise a like sum to build and equip a first class student; hospital for the university. Scientists Fail to Explain Coldness, None W illing to Take Responsibility C7 X Sun Giving Off Less Heal j Or Eve of Glacial Age? — Everybody agrees that this win ter’s weather is unusually eold, but nobody seems to be willing to ac cept the responsibility for it. Mem bers of the university faculty are habitually blamed for anything from flunks to fevers, but even they refuse to take the blame for (ho refrigerated zephyrs which permeate sleeping porches these nights and make all good men and true tremble in their beds. Professor Howard of the law de partment brought up the subject quite accidentally. The pesky re porter had just asked him for an expression of opinion on measures regarding tlie university which arc at present before the state legislu t arc. “Deucedly eold weather we’re having, isn’t ’it f” said Air. Howard. “Just tliis morning I got a letter from my folks in Illinois saving that the temperature there dropped to 1-” degrees below zero every night during January. Last week I received a letter from a brother who is living in Japan and he says that the ponds around his heme are frozen, something which the oldest inhabitants •cannot remember hap pening before. Yes, I’ve beard that the canals are frozen over in Ven ice, too.” Warren l). .Smith, head of the de partment of geology, was scientifi cally cautious. “You reporters are always trying to get somebody to say something definite and dog- 1 malic,” lie said. “The truth is that nobody knows the real reason for these spells of unusual eold. Some scientists believe that the sun is! giving oft', less heat. Dr. ('. 0. Abbott, secretary of the Smithson ian institution, lias measured life heat of the sun with a delicate in strument, and says that it is at present giving off two or three per cent less heat than the normal amount. “Other authorities claim that the It's breaking all records for crouds and bp roams hurry!

Tn the past if lias been observed that a series of eruptions in various volcanoes throughout the world is followed by a severe winter. The theory is that the great cloud of volcanic dust belched forth forms a heavy blanket between the earth and the sun which does not allow the usual * --.1 mi ’■ Jewelry; ; Beautiful in : Antique Patterns : |> < • I fere are copies of ant iqitc '< ! jewelry—bracelets, rin<js, ] ; ])ins and necklaces—in ; • pold and silver.
