Friendships Will be Made Again at Meet Discussion to Center on Newspaper Problems New Recovery Program, Repeal To Hold Interest at Annual Press Conference Friendships will be renewed af ter a lapse of a year at the 16th annual Oregon Press conference, which starts today, and will con tinue through Saturday. The majority of the topics to be discussed hover about the subject, “newspaper problems,” which real ly did exist even back in the good old days of 1919, when the con ference was organized. Some of the topics discussed in 1924 included cost-finding system, and saving time in the country shop. That year Dean Colin V. Dy ment, and Elbert Bede, editor of Cottage Grove Sentinel, were the main speakers. With the arrival of 1931, Charles L. Baum and Jo seph R. Gerber were among the important leaders of session dis cussions. In 1932 Henry N. Fowler, Bend Bulletin, and Earl Richardson, Dal las Itemizer-Observer, conducted a survey on methods employed by Daily and weekly newspapers in reducing operating costs in pro portion to the advertising reduc tions. This year, as in the intervening years, the conference again faces “newspaper problems.” It includes a somewhat different slant than in previous years, having to do with the new recovery program and repeal of the 18th amendment. “Advertising Under the New Deal” will be a topic presented by Floyd L. Sparks, of San Francisco. W. F. G. Thacher, of the University school of journalism, will speak on “What the New Codes Are Doing to Advertising.” Other speeches on the same general topic will be presented. 500 Housewives Will Be Exposed To Questionnaire Do you bake your own cookies? Would you prefer square or round cartons for packaged goods ? These and many other questions will disturb the peace of mind of more than 500 housewives throughout the state when Prof. John M. Rae's food survey ques tionnaires are sent out this week. The questions have been com piled by Rae, associate professor of business administration, as practice in survey work for his economics class. Each student in the class will be given 25 of the questionnaires to send to his friends and relatives. The results will be compiled by the class and conclusions drawn from them. Everything from the price of the articles to the shape of the pack ages is being asked by the inquis itive economists. What can pos sibly come of it, nobody knows, but it is felt that the results should be interesting. STUDENTS SEEK CHANGE IN BASIS FOR R. 0. T. C.

Educational Conference Held at Reed Dr. Bossing Elected New President of Group Plans Discussed for Cooperation In Making More Effective Teacher Placements As a result of the Oregon State Teachers’ association meeting dur ing the Christmas vacation, the appointment bureaus of all the teacher training institutions in the state, including two Catholic schools, sent representatives to a meeting January 13 at Reed col lege in Portland. At the meeting the delegates discussed plans for cooperation in I teacher placements and talked of a code of ethics for appointment ! bureaus. Dr. N. L. Bossing of the University of Oregon school of ed ucation was elected president of the group. Dean J. R. Jewell of the school of education, and Miss Ida M. Pope, appointment secre tary, also attended from Oregon. Dr. Bossing said, “We met to discuss ways and means by which we might make our work more effective in the placement of teachers in the state, in order that we might exchange experience in placement procedure, make this more uniform, and to look forward to a definite program of coopera tion.’’ Dean Jewell said, “I think it is one of the best opportunities to help the children and schools that has ever been made available.” A subsequent meeting is to be arranged soon. The group does not include commercial agencies. DR. KEPPEL PAYS VISIT TO MUSEUM ON CAMPUS (Continued from Page One) chosen for the two centers to ad vance art appreciation.

On Wings of Silver Virginia City, Navada—center of the onee-famoiis Comstock lode, whose mines produced more than $40,000,000 in silver in the 60’s and 70’s—is showing signs of life after decades of somnolence, now that silver prices make mining profitable. Above is an air view which shows Virginia City on the side of Mt. Davidson, and below it some of the once-celebrated mines. Dish- Washing Chinese Boy Spends $40 for Slide Rules Imagine an occidental student in such a role as that portrayed by a Chinese boy enrolled at the Uni versity who recently entered the Co-op and asked to look at slide rules. After a good deal of judi cial examination and experiment with the rules, the boy seemed dis satisfied and asked if he could or der a rule more to his liking. The clerk replied that he would be glad to accommodate him and produced a catalogue. To his astonishment, the young Chinese selected a $20 article—and departed. When the rule arrived, the Chi nese boy could scarcely contain his enthusiasm and pleasure and left the store clutching the parcel proudly. In a few days he returned and ordered a second slide rule—a duplicate of the first. The puzzled clerk was unable to forbear a question. “Why on earth do you want two slide rules exactly alike?’’ he inquired. The student replied that his brother in China waa very ill and that the second rule was to be a present for him. It was apparent from the smile of pleasure which accom panied the remark that the young Chinese could think of no more appropriate or valuable gift. A few days later, as the Co-op clerk chanced to stroll past a so rority house, he glimpsed through the kitchen window the young pur chaser of the “imported” slide rule industriously washing dishes. ■ ■ ' . IL . . I.I -Tl 1 • Students Discuss Modern Religion With Warrington ‘Perspective’ Defined by Group Of Men and Women at Y Bungalow To a fly on a fresco the wall is not a work of art but a massive, confusing, sometimes p e r i lo u 3 foothold. So Dr. E. W. Warring ton, head of the department of re ligion, pictured the human being without an adequate perspective, as he clarified a point raised in the discussion on “Vital Religion Ahead" last night at the Y. W. C. A. bungalow. The discussion, the second of a series of six planned for each Wednesday night from 9 to 10, centered around various sugges tions for necessary attributes of a vital religion. While the need for perspective was developed most fully, the group suggested that modern re ligion should be practical, tolerant with conviction, personal yet so cial, and should have purpose. “Less doing, less talking, and more being,” also was mentioned as a trend of life today. The question to be carried for ward to next Wednesday night's meeting is, “What are some of the things that will help us to develop perspective?” Perspective was de fined as the ability to see oneself and one’s friends, possessions, and ideals in their proper relation to each other and to the world. Co-op Fills Large Orders for Books A large number of special orders for books are being filled by the Co-op in addition to the regular class orders, according to M. F. McClain, manager. Due to prevailing financial con ditions, less students were expect ed to return to the campus this term, but more books are being or dered this winter term than last. Sixteen copies of “Chemistry Laboratory Mannuel,” by Williams and Brewster, were special orders; there were 12 copies ordered of Conant’s “Organic Chemistry,” and 8 copies of “Introduction to Sales Management,” by Tosdal. Also, many single editions of text books were on the special order files. FortkeJe are tkeMi/dest We buy only the center leaves for Luckies. Not the top leaves for they are under-devel oped. Not the bottom leaves for they are inferior in quality. Only the center leaves for these are truly mild and fully ripe. And that’s the fine tobacco we use—to make Luckies so round, so firm, so fully packed —free from loose ends that spill out. That’s why Luckies are always mild, always truly mild. And remember, “It’s toasted”— for throat protection—for finer taste.
