Anyone who was in Glacier na tional park during the summer of 1929 may remember a curly haired, ambitious young fellow who ran the J>oat concession on Lake McDermott and enveigled tourists into taking the boat trip by giving many and varied lec tures at the hotel on the beauty of the surrounding country. That fellow was Frank Lom bard, a graduate of Springfield high, who for the past three years had been attending Willamette and, besides being a member of I several clubs and honoraries and playing the lead in a couple of the school's plays, had been advertis ing manager of the Collegian, the weekly publication. While work ing that summer as the lake's “of ficial boatman,” he decided to fin ish his college career at the Uni versity of Oregon. • Frank entered the University that fall as a senior and the fol lowing spring he was graduated. Then last year, and this year so far, he has been a graduate assist ant to Victor P. Morris, professor of economics. The Saturday before the Rhodes scholarship preliminary held here, Frank said, he went into the grad uate school on some business about his thesis and Mrs. Fitch sug gested that he enter the prelimi nary contest the following day. He decided to do so and the next day, after waiting his turn among the other contestants, he found him self sitting before the examiners and answering the questions that they put to him. “There was a lot I didn't know,” he added. Frank was interviewed last night in an empty room of the Journalism shack. He sat with one leg over the arm of his chair and talked happily of Oxford. “That’s the world's champion place to train diplomats,” he said, (Continued on Page Two) I i Victorious Webfoots Get Hearty Welcome Scenes at the mammoth rally staged at the Southern Pacific depot yesterday noon when Oregon’s grid team ar rived in Eugene after its successful 4000-mile trip to New York.

Igloo Plays Host To Rally Dancers Wednesday Night Peppy Program Welcomes Spears and Oregon Team Home “Pep and more pep” was the universal cry at the second mam moth all-campus rally dance of the year, held at McArthur court last night from 7 to 9 o’clock. Mountains of molten enthusiasm hailed Dr. Clarence Spears and his triumphant Webfoot gridsters re turning from their recent victory in the East over ^ew York uni versity. Music for the event was fur-! nished by Carl Collins and his Kampus Knights, featuring Billy Sievers, the blond “Phil Harris’ of Oregon. Ten cents admission was charged to defray the expenses in curred during the dance and rally earlier in the day. A crowd of red-hot ralliers esti mated at a thousand crowded the igloo in one of the biggest displays of pep in the history of the Uni versity. All preparations were handled by Carson Mathews, head of the rally committee, and the group working under him. “The dance tonight was one of the most successful from both the financial and social aspects of any we have ever had,” stated Math ews late last night.

Today they will have an opportunity to become janitor-minded, when the entire class will gather around the senior bench at 12:30 o’clock. At this time green lids will fly fast as the clean-up proceeds under the conduction of the Order of the “O” and senior men. It was about 6:30 p. m. yester day when three members of - class gave the traditionally re spected senior bench a far-from neat coat of green 35’s. Although it has all the earmarks of another overzealous outburst from the freshmen, Howard Steib, freshman class president, says the paint job was done entirely with out his knowledge. “All seniors and Order of “O” men with all the paddles in the country are asked to be on hand to conduct the clean-up,” says ICer mit Stevens, president of the Or der of the “O.” Hobart Wilson, senior class pres ident urges all senior men to be at the gathering to assure a proper clean-up of the class's “seat of honor.” Rumors have it that some re vengeful sophomores have taken this opportunity to justify the pre vious ardent attitude of the fresh man class.

Students May Use Libraries Friday Nights Nine o’Clock Announced As Hour of Closing Board Revises Schedules Following Survey on Opinion All libraries will be open Friday night until 9 o’clock, it was an nounced yesterday by Matthew H. Douglass, University librarian. Other hours will continue as sched uled at the beginning of the year. This decision was made by the library board after a survey of stu dent opinion had been made by the interfraternity council at the re quest of Brian Mimnaugh, presi dent of the associated students. “We will keep the library open on Friday night as long as there is reasonable use of the service,’’ Mr. Douglass stated. “That is un less the funds for operation threat en to run out before the end of the year. Our budget has been cut to absolutely necessary requirements and it was for this reason that the reduction of hours the libraries were open was made." Mimnaugh expressed apprecia tion of the action of the board when told yesterday of the decis ion. “I am sure that students having classes Saturday morning will take advantage of the opportunity,” the student head commented. "Many students have personally told me that they would like to use the reading rooms on Friday night and I believe that there will be many more doing so.” Library hours, under the new schedule, will be Monday to Thurs day, 7:45 a. m. to 10 p. m.; Friday, 7:45 a. m. to 9 p. m.; Saturday, 7:45 a. m. to 6 p. m.; Sunday, 2 to 9 p. m. The law library will oper ate on a separate schedule. The new hours go into effect this week but all libraries will be closed [the Friday night of Homecoming week-end. Dr. R. C. Clark Attending Court Session at Burns — , Brief Framed From Interviews With Aged Pioneer Men Dr. R. C. Clark, head of the his tory department of the University has been away for over a week at tending court session at Burns. He :was summoned by the United States supreme court to testify as an expert witness in a civil case between the state of Oregon and the federal government regarding the long pending question as to under whose jurisdiction Lake Mal heur should be. According to a letter written by j Dr. Clark to Professor Ganoe, who ! is taking charge of the classes of the former during his absence, he, Dr. Clark, is preparing a brief to be submitted to the court. In the preparation of this brief, he had the chance to interview about 200 pioneers whose ages were 80 or more. He said that he found these men to be unusually keen minded. Hodge Consulted on Question Involving Early History of Lakes Malheur and Harney lakes, lo cated in the center of Harney coun ty, are having their life history written, not by geologists for the edification of the general public, but to comply with the strict rul ing of court law, according to Ed win T. Hodge, professor of geology. On the question of whether Mal heur and Harney lakes have been within white man’s country and whether they have been navigable bodies of water, hangs the question of ownership. If they have been navigable, they belong to Uncle Sam; if not they are the property of the state of Oregon. “Old settlers have been called before the court to testify and re call memories of early days,” said Dr. Hodge, “but so far geologists have not been invited to appear before the court, although they know the history of these lakes. "At one time the river that made these lakes, drained southward and was dammed by a lava flow. The greatest heights obtained by the lakes can be determined by the lava,” continued the geologist. “This body of water covered a large portion of what is now Har ney county when at its highest j point. At this time, the surround ing country was knee deep in grass. Antelope, bison and perhaps cam els grazed around their shores. To the waters at certain seasons came migratory birds, and along the shore, no doubt, dwelt many of the early Indians of Oregon.” According to Dr. Hodge, the lakes overflowed to the north cut ting an outlet by way of the Sil vies river. The discharge along the Silvies river cut deep enough to al most drain the lakes. However, the main shrinkage was caused by changes of climate. “We do not know everything about the climate changes in Ore gon but several of us are working on this and may be able to detail the exact changes in years. The fact is sure, that the main shrink age has been a matter of time. If the cycle keeps up, the death of the lakes will be brought about.
