A. plans, which will be realized by the successful completion of the drive, Cherry said: “One feature, the round table discussion, which will bring together a rabbi, a preist, and a protestant minister, has attracted inquiries from all over the nation, for on only two other occasions, one at Harvard and one at Columbia, have three men representing the Hebrew, the Catholic, and the Protestant faiths, presented their views on the same subjects to the same audience.” Cherry also announced that the following persons would speak at the various fraternities and halls today: Sid Dobbin, Stan Brooks, Clarence Barton, Hal Paddock, John Nelson, Ken Curry, Mel Par ker, Joe Freck, Gordon Day, Dave Wilson, Don Campbell, and John Long.

BLIND GRADUATE HERE FOR MASTER’S DEGREE - (Continued from Page One) versity women’s club to promote the welfare of the blind, both or ganizations are cooperating in this plan. Each questionnaire has 60 questions and is extremely simple to answer. A member of the or ganization will make a personal survey with the questionnaire. The earning capacity, education, health and habits of the blind person are noted. These questionnaires will then be sent here to a class in sta tistics under Dr. P. A. Parsons of the department of sociology and the result tabidated. This survey is comparable to the one made in California. Although there are only 300 names that are available for the survey questionnaire, the list of Oregon blind is nearer 600. Three Laws Before Legislature The purpose of this survey is to assist in the passing of the three laws that Mr. Robbins is re sponsible for having put before the 1931 legislature. One law to allow blind people to operate cigar stands in federal buildings, will mean the employment of two or three thousand of the blind. A similar bill is being prepared in regard to state buildings. The third bill requires that drops of disinfectant, containing nitrate of silver, be put in a child's eyes at birth. This will decrease blindness 25 per cent, according to Mr. Rob bins. "Do you take notes or depend on your memory?” he was asked. He immediately took from his pocket a little metal sheet that had innumerable little rectangles cut from it. Each led angle had a saw edge at the bottom and up to the middle of each side. “This is the Louis Braille sys tem.” Mr. Robbins said. "By the way, this is the anniversary ol this invention, too.” Demonslrates Invention Placing a piece of paper undet this metal piece, he demonstrated how it worked, in fact how tc print ABC. Placing the punch in the upper right hand corner oi the first rectangle and pressing a perforation is made which he reads with his finger tips. “My only trouble in taking notes in class was that I got rather noisy. I can do about 50 or 60 words a minute. One time in editing class my tapping got rather bad so I Dean Eric W. Allen yelled to me, 'Say, Ed, put a book under that, will you—” Sixty words a min ute isn’t very fast either,” Mr. Robbins went on to explain. “We have a Braille short hand system that makes it possible to write 150 words a minute.

C. as well as Oregon has two weeks of straight practice be fore the clash November 16, since it happens that neither team has a regular game on its schedule between now and that time. If practice helps make good football games, the Beavcr.Web foot tangle should be one of the smoothest and snappiest exhibi tions ever to be put on in the state. Teams don’t practice straight football altogether as they used to, without regard to the particu lar team they are going up against. Instead, they study out a new system of attack and de fense for each game. Captain McEwan, as well as Paul Schissler of the Aggies, has kept a complete record of every type of offense and defense of opposing teams. The Aggies and Webfoots each have two weeks, a longer time than before any previous game of the season, to cook up poison for the various strong points and weaknesses of their opponents' team. The State boys pin a lot of their hopes on a halfback, Cecil Sher wood, whom they have proudly dubbed the “Orange Express.” This fellow played against Oregon last year, and was one of the out- j standing men of the game. His main asset is speed. Oregon's big passing reputation is no doubt causing the Aggies some concern. If the Orangemen rely too much on statistics and practice a whole lot on pass de fense. they may find themselves fooled, although it is hardly prob able that they will forget so soon about what a slaughter the Oregon line made of them last year. i’ ~~ '—— Movies, Evelyn Shaner, Editor at the McDonald— Philo Vance, the suave, polished, dignified detective of the “Canary Murder Case” again comes to un ravel another mystery in “The Green Murder Case" which opens today at the Fox McDonald.
