Short-Time Loan Fund
Exhausted by Increase in
Demands, Says Dean Earl
By GLENN HASSELROOTH
The short time emergency loan fund is now exhausted, and with
the exception of “restricted” loans for certain majors, no more money
will be loaned until early in May, Dean of Men Virgil D. Earl said
yesterday.
The excessive borrowing of students this term Dean Earl attributes
to the recession. “The demand for money has exceeded the supply,
and because of the continued inability of students to pay, no loans

Only Four Entries
In Bennett Essay
Contest Thus Far
Only four entries have been re
ceived in the annual Philo Sher
man Bennett essay contest, said
Prof. Geox’ge Turnbull, chairman of
the contest, last night.
Subject of the essays is to be
“An Armament Policy for the Uni
ted States.” Prizes of $25 and $15
are offered for the best entries
submitted before the May 1 dead
line.
Rules require that the contestant
submit two copies of the essay,
which should approximate the
5000-word limit set. Entrants
should see Mr. Turnbull before
writing their entries.
will be available until sometime in
May,” the dean said.
Another reason that “the loan
fund has run dry” is the necessary
extensions made to students who
have not been able to meet their
loan deadlines. This has taken
$5025 out of the fund.
Loans Heavy Spring Term
Short time loans, which are us
ually for from 30 to 60 days, total
$18,328 since the beginning of
spring term. Although the usual
amount loaned on registration days
is from $3000 to $4000, more than
$9700 was loaned on spring regis
tration day alone, Dean Earl said.
In the next two weeks after regis
tration day, more than $8600 was
loaned in amounts from $1.50 to
$35, from $100 to $250 per day.
Up to April 26, over $80,000 has
been loaned to students this year.
More than $250,000 has been loaned
in the last five years, in loans
averaging about 3000 a year.
uiius
Dean Earl, who is assisted in his
loan work by Karl W. Onthank,
dean of personnel, and J. O. Lind
strom, business manager, has hope
of receiving a large amount in loan
repayment just after the first of
the month. “Students always pay
something on their loans after they
receive their NYA and other work
checks,” said Dean Earl.
Special Loans Available
There are, however, a number of
loan funds which will furnish
money to students in certain de
partments. For example, there is
a Mary E. McCornack fund laid
aside for students of music at the
University who are preparing for
religious work as singers or musi
cians. Another “restricted” fund
is the Fannie Frank scholarship
loan fund for graduate nurses ma
joring in public health nursing.
Other special funds are available
to other students.
On file in Dean Earl’s office are
approved applications for loans
totaling $5549, which students will
receive as soon as funds are avail
able. The dean is taking a few ap
plications at present.

Physics Text by
A. E. Caswell Now
In Second Edition
Another University of Oregon
professor this week saw the publi
cation of his own textbook when
the second edition of a physics
text by A. E. Caswell, head of the
physics department, was released.
The book, “An Outline of Phy
sics,” first printed in 1928, has
been completely done over and
brought up to date, giving new
work in mechanics and alternating
current, and expanding the mo
dern physics section to include all
the latest theories.
The text is a 590-page volume
containing 373 illustrations and
diagrams, and has over 600 prob
lems and questions. It is published
by MacMillan and company.
The book is hailed by Will V.
Norris, also of the University phy
sics department, as “one of the best
written and organized physics
texts on the market.”
The new edition is expected to
replace the first edition, which has
been used in the physics depart
ment here for several years.

Boyer Opposes Policy of
Allowing Activity Credits
By SADIE MITCHELL
Dr. C. Valentine Boyer, dean of the school of arts and letters,
opposes a recent move made at Dickinson college, in Carlisle, Pennsyl
vania, wherein participation in extra-curricular activities was made a
requirement for graduation.
“I do not agree with the idea that credit should be given for extra
curricular activities,” he said. “A good many things that in the past
were extra-curricular are now in the regular curriculum, and I think
Condon Museum
Displays Portraits
Of Indian Pottery
Decorative art of the southwest
Indians as portrayed by Dorothy
Smith Sides, is on display in the
University museum of natural his
tory in Condon hall.
Figures of birds predominate in
the decoration of these pottery de
signs which have been taken from
the pueblo group of ancient civili
zations. The geometric decoration
is also another form common to all
pueblos.
Pottery from the Four Mile ruin
of Arizona, constitutes a large part
of the 12-plate collection. The con
ventional bird and animal was the
most used form here.
From the Mimbres ruin in New
Mexico comes the group of black
and white bowl designs. The pot
ters here have shown well-executed
work, and developed a delicacy of
line and an accuracy of spacing
that has been unequalled in other
pottery of the early southwest.
we have gone far enough in allow
ing credit for these things.”
Activities Urged
At Dickinson college a special
committee outlined a plan which
allowed credit on outside activities
in an attempt to restrict the over
assertive student, and to compel
the inactive student to participate
in more outside functions. The
committee felt that extra-curricu
lar work should be a part of the
student’s development and should
not take any time which rightfully
belonged to other phases of a col
lege education.
“Extfa-curricular activities are
things which the student is inter
ested in outside of the prescribed
University curriculum,” Dr. Boyer
said, “and I don’t think the Uni
versity should give credit for ac
tivities in which the student has
a natural zest and interest. We can
and do stimulate students into out
side interests by other means.”
