Professor Hawkins Makes
Survey of Oregon Concerns
Harry C. Hawkins, professor of |
business administration, who, with
f L. E. Angell, research agent and
formerly of the department of j
commerce in Washington, is mak
ing a survey of foreign trade ac
tivities and potentialities of Ore
gon business concerns, declares
that specialty manufacturers in a
large number of lines are becom
ing firmly established in Oregon
and predicts a successful future
for them.
“Oregon’s interest in exporta
tion of staples such as lumber,
grain and other products is well
known, and these lines are of pre
dominant importance to the state,”
Mr. Hawkins says in a preliminary
statement on his work. “But it is
also worthy of note that many
j. specialty manufacturers no longer
confine themselves to the local
market, or even to the markets of
the United States, but are reach
ing' out to the markets of the
world.
Citing instances Professor Haw
kins tells of an Oregon-made ma
chine being observed in a far-off
country by a manufacturer who
copied the name of the Oregon
firm from the name plate and
placed an order for the Oregon
made goods. Another time a for
eign dealer saw an advertisement
ir a months-old American maga
zine, sought out the Oregon manu
facturer and established relations
with him. These cases are held to
be significant of the potentialities
of the future for the state, Mr.
Hawkins believes.
Although recognizing the im
portance of the markets in the
eastern part of the United States,
Professor Hawkins also points out

Scholarly Sigma Kappas Copped the Cup
Studious co-eds are supposed to be quite sedate, but when the Sigma Kappas received the Chi
Omega scholarship award shown above with the girls, for having the highest sorority grade average
during 1929-30, they couldn’t help smiling a bit. Incidentally, they had the highest grade average of
all Oregon living organizations. *

been of the greatest value, there
fore
“Be it resolved that the execu
tive council of the A. S. U. O. ex
tend their sincere appreciation to |
the Oregon Knights for their past;
service.”
“There is a distinct need of an
active service honorary on the
Oregon campus and the sophomore
class is the best qualified in all
respects to carry out the need of
the A. S. U. O.,” stated George
Cherry, chairman of the council,
last night.
The resolution of the executive
council reads:
Whereas: A service honorary
is a distinct asset in promoting

need for an active service hon
orary on the Oregon campus,

Whereas: The sophomore class
is the best qualified in all re

Infirmary Staff
Playful At Times
JN these days of healthy stu
dents and quiet life the
nurses at the infirmary are hav
ing a hard time trying to find
things to keep them busy.
Therefore, when Calvin Bryan
wandered aimlessly through the
door yesterday, they welcomed
him with open arms. Cal was
just in time to make a fourth
at bridge, and being a very chiv
alrous gentleman, he decided to
stay and help the ladies out.
Who emerged the card shark of
the day is still a mystery, but
nevertheless it is gratifying to
know that Bryan has so nobly
found a new means by which
Oregon students may make use
of the infirmary.
School Works on
Community Plan
Social Science Takes Up
Task on Large Scale
A new project being undertaken
by the school of applied social sci
ence this year is that of assisting
in the organization and advance
ment of small community organi
zations throughout the state.
While the school has carried on
such work on a smaller scale .pre
viously, the present undertaking of
larger scope than previous com
munity welfare work was organ
ized as a result of a demand of
various committees for this serv
ice.
James D. Bryant, assistant in
community organization research,
has just returned from Marion
county, where he interviewed com
munity organization leaders con
cerning their opinions of the work
that the University plans to carry
on in their behalf. He will con
tinue his work in the small com
munities of other counties.
The plan that is being followed
is first to gather information
which can be passed on to other
communities so that the Univer
sity may better render any com
munity such services as* it desires.
Concerning the reactions of the
people of the communities to the
project, Mr. Bryant said that most
of them favored having the Uni
versity assist in such things as
planning programs, furnishing rec
reation, improving schools, and
erecting public libraries.

also being made to secure a guest
' speaker for the meeting.

Old Books of 17th Century
Displayed In Co-op W indows
By JOAN COX
An unusual display of old books,
dating from as early as 1600 to
the middle of the nineteenth cen
tury, has been placed in the win
dow of the University Co-op in
observance of National Book week.
These books were brought from
Europe this summer by M. F. Mc
Clain, Co-op manager, who se
cured the publications from va
rious bookstores throughout Lon
don, Oxford, Cambridge, Eaton,
Edinburgh, and elsewhere.
“Really old books are rapidly
becoming much rarer," stated Mr.
McClain. "Very few books are
now available that date back of
1700, and practically none back of
1600. Those few are so expensive
that they are out of sight of most
collectors."
The eldest publication is Stowe’s
Chronicles, dated 1600, and printed
in old English type. Other rare
volumes are: a first edition of
Burke’s Speeches, in its original
binding (1775); a copy of the
Magna Carta, set up by Cooke, in
old English type, in 1680; a com
plete set of Plutarch’s Lives,
dated 1683, in their original bind
ing.
The collection contains several
Latin books, including Casaboni's
“De Rebus,” 1615, and Horace’s
“Opera,” 1699.
“I brought back some volumes
of special interest to Americans,”
said Mr. McClain, “including John
Duncan’s ’Travels in the United
States’ (1823); Fearon’s ‘Sketches
of America’ (1883); and especially
