Oregon Cities
League Meets
Here Today
Convention To Be Held
In Condon Hall
Delegates To Be Entertained by
Chamber of Commeree
At Osborn Hotel
To outline a legislative pro
gram affecting Oregon cities for
the coming sessions of the legis
lature, and to set up a working
relationship between the League
of Oregon Cities, and the bureau
of municipal research, in the
school of social science, on the
campus, are the two main pur
poses of the meeting of the
League of Oregon Cities, which is
being held in Eugene today and
tomorrow.
Preliminary arrangements have
been made by Dr. Philip A. Par
sons, of the sociology department.
On Ihursday afternoon the con
vention will convene at 101 Con
don, followed by a dinner for the
delegates at the Osborn hotel,
where they will be guests of the
Chamber of Commerce, and ser
vice clubs of Eugene. The Friday
morning meeting is scheduled for
302 Condon, and the afternoon
session is to be held in room 101.
In the past the league has been
interested in forestalling legisla
tion that interferes with effective
activities in city offices, and will
again turn its attention toward
such bills.
Among suggested topics for dis
cussion, as listed on a circular sent
out to members of the league, are
the following: “Maintenance of
estate highways through cities,’’
“Collecting city assessments with
general taxes,” “Refunding of
bonds of cities and towns,” “Issu
ance and sale by cities and towns
of tax anticipation warrants to
provide funds for the payment of
bonds,” “Consideration of legis
lation imposing penalty and in
creased interest rate on delinquent
instalments of bonded assess
ments,” and "Unemployment re
lief.”
Officers of the league are, Wil
liam M. Briggs, Ashland, presi
dent; and J. L. Franzen, Oregon
City, secretary. Delegates from
the various cities over the state
are expected to attend.
liHS Boys Glee Club

Rehearsal of the University high
school boys’ glee club was called

ation begun on a minstrel show
to be given within the next six
weeks. This work is under the
direction of Mrs. Anne Landsbury

EUGENE STUDENTS MAY
DRIVE FOR FAMILY USE
(Continued from Page One)
preted to mean that such stu
dents may not drive cars for any
purpose connected with the Uni
versity or with their status as
students therein.
“They may not drive to the
University, or to any branch or
department thereof, or to any
event or function held under the
auspices of the University, or the
student body or any group of stu
dents. They may not drive a car
for any social purpose, or for pas
time. These enumerations are
not exclusive, but are illustrative
of the principle that students liv
ing in Eugene shall be bound by
the same restrictions applicable to
other students.
“Local students will not be sub
ject to penalty for driving the
family car on family business at
the order of the parent, if such!
business has no reference to the1
student’s connection with the
University.

Dad’s Committee

For Annual Event

For Coming Affair
_
Hal Short, student chairman,

mittee this afternoon to discuss
! and outline the duties in the cam
paign to bring Dads to the campus
October 29.
Preliminary announcements have
been sent out to all the Dads, ac
cording to George H. Godfrey. Hal
Short urges all the students on the
campus to follow these announce
ment^ by writing to their dads,
thus taking on some of the respon
sibility in the campaign.
Tom Tongue and Ed Stanley are
working witih George Godfrey on
the advertising and publicity.
Tongue will probably announce his
plans on carrying a house organi
zation campaign on writing to
Dads this afternoon. Barbara

this afternoon to help with ’ the
registration. She is working with
Dean Virgil Earl, while Marjorie
Haas is carrying on work with

Paul R. Washke.

been selected by George Godfrey
to do the cartooning. This is Fish
er’s second year as cartoonist for
the Dad’s day program.
CHARITY PLAN GETS
COMMITTEE APPROVAL
(Continued from Payc One)
the Eugene News, the other
daily, criticized it.
The Morning Oregonian said it
did not believe the game should
be taken off either campus. The
Corvallis Gazette-Times charged
that the Oregonian and the Emer
ald were in league on the matter
and added that the suggestion
was probably compounded in the
Oregonian offices. This charge
was based on the fact that Neu
berger is an employee of both
papers, and was made despite the
fact that the Oregonian and the
Emerald have expressed widely
variant opinions on the matter.
Those present at the executive
council meeting were Bob Hall,
chairman; Dean James H. Gilbert,
Karl W. Onthank, Ronald H. Rob
nett, Alexander G. Brown, Otto
Vonderheit, Marguerite Tarbell,
Ellen Sersanous, Dick Neuberger,
Professor Herbert Crombie Howe,
and James Travis.
It was announced that the pub
lications committee would meet
at noon today at the Anchorage.

Doug Fairbanks, the daddy of

entertaining interpretation of De
toe's classic in "Mr. Robinson Cru

ald today, Friday, and Saturday.
Equipped' with only enough

he sets out to make the best of
things on his “desert isle." Doug
is not at all discouraged by the ob
stacles in his life, and with the aid

not help chuckling with Doug as

Howe Receives Card
From Former Student
A postcard bearing a message
from a student of 25 years ago
has been received lately by H. C.
Howe, professor of English. The
card is signed Helene Robinson
Hendershott and carries the mes
sage to her old-time instructor in
English that she is now touring
some of She places she studied
about in his courses—Tinturn Ab
bey, and other English spots of
literary value, as well as those of
Scotland. Professor Howe spoke
of his former student’s interest in
t I I I —
he has the time of his life in the
elemental jungle surroundings.
The modern Crusoe's accomplish
ments in the way of providing
against a rainy day are a delight
to see.

"The Crooked Circle”
Combining the elements of an
exciting mystery, a light romance,
and an enjoyable comedy, "The
Crooked Circle" should be one of
the most entertaining pictures to
be seen at the Colonial for some
time.
James Gibson and Zasu Pitts in
the spook scenes furnish a goodly
amount of mirth-provoking action,
while Ben Lyon and Irene Pureelle
furnish the romance.
"The Crooked Circle” is the first I
of a series of 20 first run films j
from World Wide studios which
will be shown at the Colonial this
season. World Wide is the only
large studio from which the Fox
theatre chain has not contracted
for the total of this year's produc
tions.
English and the campus year book
of 1908 reveals that she was secre
tary of the junior class that year.

Kellogg To Give
Science Lecture
Tuesday Evening
Lecture To Be on Anatomy
Ami Habits of
Whales
Dr. Remington Kellogg, assist
ant curator of mammals at the
United States national museum at
Washington, D. C., and research
associate and paleontology of the
Carnegie Institution of Washing
ton, will deliver a public address
on "The Anatomy and Habits of
Whales" in room 101 of Condon
hall next Tuesday evening.
Dr. Kellogg is collaborating with
Dr. E. L. Packard, dean of the
school of science recently trans
ferred to Corvallis, in the study of
a fossil discovered several years
ago by Dr. Packard on the beach
near Newport.
Dr. Kellogg is spending several
week in the West examining and
identifying mammalian fossils,
and is devoting considerable time
to the preparation of sketches of
Dr. Packard's discovery, which
has been in Condon collection for
a number of years.
The Wc ’-' v 'rn scientist, ac
cording to Dr. Packard, has spent
several years studying the problem
of aquatic adaptation, with special
reference to marine mammals.
"The whale,” explained Dr.
Packard, "is a representative mam
mal, not a fish, which in adapting
itself to changing environment has
become in some respects fish-like.”
The lecture is given under the
auspices of the local chapter of
Sigma Psi, and a special invita
tion is being extended to the Sig
ma Psi club of Corvallis.
