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.

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

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.”

Falls on Ice
Not Reported
For Treatment
pOK some reason or other,
students who have met with
accidents from falling; on the
ice have failed to report to the I
infirmary to la- patched lip.
Within the last week, there
are no records showing- treat
ment from such accidents.
The nurses thought that j
either the accidents have not
resulted in great injuries or
else the skidding victims were
ashamed of such* happenings.
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. Here, you will
find the very newest and
most appropriate pieces of
costume jewelry, a n d at
prices which afford variety.
