Oregon Geologist Returns From Year’s Exploring Tour Edwin Hodge Comes Back From Africa Expedition of Geologisl Makes Interesting Discoveries - t Professor Gathers Much Data on Trip By STICKLING GREEN After a year’s leave of absence spent studying geologic forma tions in Kenya, Uganda, Sudan, Tanganyika, and other parts of the interior of Africa, Dr. Edwin T. Hodge, professor of geology, re turned to Eugene yesterday after noon, and immediately went to work at his office. Dr. Hodge reported many inter esting and little-known facts con cerning the particular geologic fields which he studied. “I found the so-called Great Riff valley to be almost ludicrously overesti mated in the popular imagination. I have dangled my feet over the edges of fault-scarps in the state of Oregon that are much more impressive.” Discoveries Made Several discoveries of excep tional interest to students of geol ogy were reported by Dr. Hodge, but these, he says, are not yet to be released for publication. Dr. Hodge expressed himself as being delighted with the results of his investigations. “The expedi tion was a success from every standpoint,” he stated. “I expect to be writing for months on the data I have gathered. All this will be published eventually, but at the present time I cannot tell in what form the material will be released.” Met By Wife After spending four months in central Africa, Dr. Hodge met his wife in Luxor, Egypt, and together they made a tour of Egypt, Pal estine, Syria, Turkey, Greece, Italy and France which lasted six weeks. Mrs. Hodge, who is a sculptress of some note, has re mained in Paris, where she will be working at her studio until next summer. For the greater part of the ex pedition, Dr. Hodge traveled alone, although he was accompanied dur ing' a part of his African explora tions by Dr. Herman Heinke, a German geologist, who was doing experimental work for the German government. Dr. Hodge arrived in New York on January 13, and came directly across country to Eugene, where he intends to take up his profes sorial duties immediately. He left the University in June, 1929. Monies Evelyn Shaner, Editor at the McDonald— Joan Crawford’s roving eyes, tempting smile and sunny grace show off to good advantage in “Untamed.” But in spite of her feminine charms she carries a good left to the jaw that really put “out” the fair blonde that tried to get her man. Sunday brings another big show to the McDonald when “Glad Kag Doll” will have its premier show' ing. Dolores Costello is a classic beauty who with Ralph Graves carries off honorJ in this super production. AT THE HEIL1G— Colleen Moore has a dual per sonality in “Footlights and Fools.” As Fifi, the French dame supreme she is gently reminiscent of Irene Bordoni, but as Belt Murphy she is none other than her own Irish self. The Vitaplione acts are very clever too, especially the Canoed dle-oodle song which most of us old timers will appreciate. AT THE KEX— “Wall Street" is a realistic por trayal of big business methods, where fortunes are made and lost as stocks rise or fall. AT THE STATE— Tony, Tom Mix's famous horse has plenty of sense in “Just Tony” which will play at the State for today only. This ought to be a real treat to’ all the little boys in town up to six feet tall. AT THE COLONIAL— YVe are still keeping mum on ’hat “Not Quite Decent" show at the Colonial. Today’s the last day. •I * O. S. C. Co-op. Saves Money ******** House Managers’ Store Is Successful Editor's Note: Oregon house managers are considering a co operative buying association which would save thousands of dol lars to member fraternities and sororities. This summary, written by Forrest M. Pickett, of the Oregon State Barometer staff, explains the system in operation at O. S. C. Bv FORREST M. PICKETT OREGON STATE COLLEGE, CORVALLIS, Jan. 24.— (Special) — i More than $25,000 a year has been saved the Oregon State students • by the Co-operative Managers’ association for the last three years by ! centralizing and controlling the purchases of the fraternities and sor- ] orities. This is the only successful association of its kind in the world, 1 it is believed, with the exceptions of the co-operative groups starting I cl u oiaiuviu auu atiuuivovw uii versities, which are patterned aft er the local association. The co-operative association, which has been in operation here 10 years, is operated by a full time manager who is responsible to a board of six student direc tors elected from the fraternities and sororities. Each member pur chases $50 worth of stock and contracts to do all of its buying through the co-op. As well as handling all of the groceries and furniture buying, the association arranges wood, wood-sawing, the plumbing, cook employment, and various other services. "At present the operating cost of the association is less than 8 per cent of gross sales, which is ,9 per cent less than the average cost-to-sell of retail grocery stores in Oregon,” pointed out Newel H. Cornish, professor in economics and sociology, who is technical adviser of the association and one of the founders. Among the factors attributing to the association's success is that no advertising expenses are nec essary: delivery costs are low, due to systematic plan of delivery; buying power; long term contracts with the members; and efficient managers. The fraternities and sororities are now under a 12-year contract with the Co-op to buy supplies. “The success of the Co-op, like any other organization, depends upon the loyalty of its members and building up of a financial background with a propef board of directors to see that the work is'carried out,” explained E. E. Seibert, Co-op manager. “The Co operative Managers’ association is a separate corporation and is en tirely independent of the college. The students feel that they have the right to purchase collectively as does any down-town mer chant.” Kiwanis Club To Hear Lecture on Poet Burns “Robert Burns” is the subject of a talk which S.

SLIPPERY STREETS STALL MANY CARS An indication of the extreme slipperiness of the Eugene streets was given last, night to crowds of persons who were en route to see the Oregon-Washington basketball game. A line of several cars was stalled on the slight University 1 street grade in front of Gerlinger hall, and the autos were unable' to get traction on the icy pave ments. One or two with chains helped out the situation by giving j the stalled cars boosts. Not only1 was this particular hill noteworthy for its slipperiness, but all around. the campus yesterday autoists were finding the going hard. Sev eral cars got crosswise of the ruts in the snow and had to be pushed out by students who were pass- \ ing by. CAST NECESSARY FOR FOOT IIS J FRY Turning his ankle while playing on the men's gymnasium basket b a 11 floor Thursday, Gilbert Sprague, of Eugene, senior in ed-' ucation, is wearing his right foot in a plaster cast. The sprain was considered se rious enough by University doc tors to warrant use of a cast, when in most cases the injured member is only bandaged. What with the ice and h i s inexperience on crutches, Sprague is experiencing difficulty in getting around the campus. Always the Distinctive and that is the reason why Bristow's has gained such popularity.
