Byrd will lec ture and show pictures filmed on his recent south polar expedition. For the first time, the court will be the scene of a mofion picture, and it promises, in fact it has al ready shown, a great adaptability to that form of amusement and education. Two new and modern projectors, and a new magna scopic screen have been imported from Portland in order to insure a professional performance rather than an attempt at a successful demonstration with portable ma chines. Aside from the imported ma chinery and screen, a projecting booth has been built against the west side of the court for protec tion against light leakage and in order to cut out the noise of the machines. A set of amplifiers has been installed to insure those sit ting in the balcony a closeup of the speaker’s voice. Twice since installation the ap paratus has been tried out and both times the results have been far better than could have been expected. The magnascopie screen, with a reflecting surface of glass beads, gives a deep and lustrous picture, easy on the eyes, even when down near the front. The machines run smoothly without a flicker, and the amplifiers have been proven successful. Seats are being arranged in the following order: chairs are being placed before the stage and screen and extending back across the floor to the sidelines. These make up the reserve section. Back of the.se seats and extending around the wall are bleachers in which the students will be seated. Over and abov3, in the balcony, are the general admission seats, extending tlje length of the court and half way around each end. Total seat ing capacity will amount to about 1700 or 1800 people. Warning has been given that the program will begin promptly at 8 o'clock, and that due to the lighting system in the Igloo, all of those people arriving after the pictures start will have to take seats in the balcony. Not only an excellent address is in store for those who attend, but a remarkable film, perfectly pro jected, is assured. ma Kappa, Alpha Beta Chi for Kappa Delta.

Rael, instructor in Spanish, to an assembly of 36 mem bers of the Spanish club at the first meeting of the term, held last night at Westminster house. Traveling from town to town in New Mexico this fall, Mr. Rael found many people who knew folk tales. One man knew as many as 65 tales ranging from 1 to 35 type written pages in length. Mr. Rael told four of the many folk tales he has collected. He told the story, “La Cenicienta," which is translated as “The Girl Who Slept in the Ashes," another name for the Cinderella story. "La Comadre Sebastiana (Angel of Death) and "San Roque” (Saint Roque), very f imous stories, were also told. "San Roque" is a story which Professor Espinosa of Stanford university, brought from Spain and tells to his classes typical Spanish folk tales. One of the folk tales is about three fellows who each knew but cne Spanish phrase. The first knew the word, “Nosotros” (We). The second knew the phrase, “Porque Quisimos” (Because we wanted to.) The third knew the phrase "Es Justo.” (It is just.) The three men went to a dance at which a man was killed. Po licemen came and said, “Who killed this man?" The first man said, "Nosotr.os.” "Why did you kill him ?” was the policemen's next question. "Porque quisimos," the second man answered. "Well, we will have to take you out and shoot you,” said the po licemen. "Es insto " renlied the third man eighth grade. It also appears on the Minnesota school list, and a copy of the book is to be placed on the reading shelf at the new Women’s club building at Wash ! ington, D. C. A thesis project of J. F. Schenk, superintendent of schools at 1 Ridgefield, Washington, and grad 1 uate student at the Portland cen ter, written about the material improvements of the Hudson’s Bay company, is running at the pres ent time as a serial in the Van couver Sun. Mr. Schenk will write a sequel to this work dealing with the social life of the company, in cluding such events as marriages, I schools, and entertainments. During a conversation, one old Spanish man said that he knew a story which required every night from the fall of the year until spring to tell it. “What is the subject?” Mr. Rael asked. “Everything," the man an swered. The story is a mythical one concerning everything from creation to the present time. The members of the club sang several Spanish folk songs follow ing Mr. Rael's talk. Phone 645 Res. 1903-W Dr. P.

This, according to Helen Fleming, infirmary nurse, is quite unusual at this time of the year. At no time since the opening of school has there been more than four students confined to the care of the University health service. Those cases that have been regis tered on the infirmary records this term do not show any unusual or serious diseases, and colds have been most prominent. Yesterday two students were dis charged from the infirmary, and one was admitted. The patients now confined to the care of the University health service are: John Littlehales, Juanita Demmer, and ! James Brooke. Brooke, an Emer ald reporter and literary editor of this year’s Oregana, was the only patient admitted yesterday.
