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.

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.

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

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.

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.

We buy only the center leaves for Luckies.
Not the top leaves for they are under-devel

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.
