Moll Gives Talk ! On Australia at i Rotary Luncheon J Sidney Reported Larger Than San Francisco; Has Many Resorts The continent of Australia, its features and its people, was the subject of an address fey Ernest G. Moll, instructor in the English department, at the Rotary club luncheon yesterday at the Osburn hotel. Dr. Moll, who is a native of Aus tralia, described Sidney, where the next international Rotary con vention will be held, as a city larger than San Francisco, with excellent boating facilities on the harbor, with an interesting zoo, and numerous pleasure resorts. The typical Australian he pic tured as of an easy-going charac ter, a person who enjoys life and who “works as few hours as pos sible and as slowly as possible.” However, the Australian is polit ically very much awake, Dr. Moll said, and enjoys freedom of speech to an extent not found in America. Sports of every kind are en gaged in on the continent, and at these athletic events there is no organized cheering by groups, as at local football and basketball games, but there is, Dr. Moll stat ed, a good amount of individual “razzing” or praise of the play ers. Seventy-five per cent of the country’s population of about sev en million people is located in the large cities within 25 miles of the east and west coasts, he said, leaving the interior to the large ranches, some of which consist of nearly three million acres, and own from 250,000 to 300,000 sheep. There is almost no “poor” or illit erate class in Australia, and of these the few uneducated persons are found in the distant interior, t five or six hundred miles from a I railroad. Australia abounds in fruits of i all kinds, some varieties girowing ' wild, and the transportation sys i terns are generally good, the ; speaker said. The scenery is in teresting and beautiful but not “grand.” Dr. Moll stated, and the rivers are generally short, since the interior of the country is a desert. Dr. Moll was introduced by John L. Landsbury, dean of the school of music. THETA SIGMA PHI SCHEDULES TEA Members and alumnae of the Oregon chapter of Theta Sigma Phi, national journalism honorary for women, will meet Sunday af ternoon at 2:30, at the home of Mrs. Eric W.

SAMARA TO HAVE INFORMAL LUNCH The luncheon for Samara mem bers which was to have taken place several days ago, but which was postponed on account of the illness of the two “cooks," will be given Thursday, according to Mrs. Jeannette Edge, biology lab as sistant and hostess to the club. Margaret Ramsey, graduate as sistant in biology, is the other hostess. The two have planned for some time to give an informal lunch in the biology laboratory. Ohio State fraternities are in a quandary over charges of pledge stealing by several of the houses. Ignorance of rush rules on the part of rushees ,is blamed for the condition.

Extension Students Favor Winter Term - - For the first time in the history of the University extension divis ion, the registration for the win ter term Eugene evening classes has exceeded that of fall term, 1 and this although the registration is not yet complete, according to Miss Mozelle Hair, head of the correspondence department. Last term’s registration was 95. ‘Stepping out” is found to bring high grades to co-eds, according to a survey at Ohio State univer sity. Findings of the survey are mainly that the practice of going out in the evening results in a more balanced college life, and helps with concentration when studying is done.
