The 67-year-old printer told his plans to a group of faculty mem bers and guests who gathered to honor him at the Osburn hotel yes terday and declared that it is his desire to finish the work which he has begun on a volume for the Limited Editions club in the Uni versity press. Nash Directed Class Nash has for several years di rected, with Professor Robert Hall, a class in fine printing at the Uni versity of Oregon, and has assisted students each year in putting out one book representative of the best typography. The master printer has been recognized on every hand as out standing in his art. Among the authorities who have paid tribute to him are the pres ent pope, William Randolph Hearst, Charles and William Clark, Jr., President Aurelia Henry Rein hardt of Mills college, and Henry L. Bullen, typographical expert for the American Type Founders com pany.

Case of Missing (Continued front page one) Earl to talk over his plans to protest the assembly, which he claimed had been called against the wording of the constitution, was satisfied with the results of the conference. Williams Explains Stand “I finally had an opportunity to see the class of 1941’s constitution and it seems that our nominating convention was handled according to the letter of the document. All I ever wanted to see was the con stitution, and I regret very much that it wasn’t available last Thurs day. “I would like to take this op portunity to extend my apology to the class of 1941 and Prexy Tiger Payne for any inconvenience that I have caused. This whole matter concerning the constitution is cleared up and as far as I am con cerned the case is closed.” Williams had previously object ed to the meeting being called on the fourth Thursday and with only one-half day’s notice in the paper, believing that the constitution provided for an earlier date and longer notice. for 'HER’ DAY Send Mother an Attractive Mother’s Day Package of Whitman’s Candy WE PACK FOR MAILING KUYKENDALL DRUG CO. 876 Willamette Street Future Eugene Citizen? ■ ••• *\/ ->> i.,t -V -5V r \\ T o o./s''? , John Henry Nash . . .

'BrainlWaves' to Be Measured At University This Summer Research in the measurement of “brain waves”—the electrical im pulses given off by the brain—will be under way this summer at the University when recording equipment now under construction at Reed college will be sent to the Eugene campus. When a nerve fiber in any part of the body is touched by the electrodes on the electro-encephalograph, as the machine is called, a recording of the action of the nerve is made. A stuttering person, completely stymied and wordless, sends his recording up into violent peaks on the graph. During sleep stronger electrical impulses are given off by the brain than during waking periods. In order to make such record ings, the electro-encephalograph must be able to measure impulses with a potential magnitude of as low as 20 millivolts, according to Lester F. Beck of the phychology department. Owing to its delicate adjustment, the machine will not be used in classwork here, but for research purposes only. Although the equipment will not revolutionize the field of psycholo gy, said Mr. Beck, it has given experimenters more definite know ledge of what goes on in the ner vous system. Through it, the ac tion potentials in the peripheral nerve fibers of intact bodies can be measured. Mr. Beck will use the electro encephalograph in his study of the changes of brain waves during sleep and in certain phases of sug gestibility. Dr. A. R. Moore, of the physiology department, will record with it the changes occuring in the active nerve fibers of lower or ganisms. -—-- i Merchants Meet (Continued from page one) that they are dominated by a “dic tator, who will be with them for some time,” it was declared by John S. Moriarty, commercial agent, U. S. bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, told the insti tute and Oregon commercial secre taries at the closing banquet last night. This “dictator” is the direct re sult of the merchant’s own cam paigning, for he is the customer who is buying the goods, Mr. Mo riarty declared. “For many years I retailers have been urging people to investigate the things they buy, both as to quality and price. Today we find that the buyer does that very thing. “This means that the merchant who will stay in business will do so because he provides what the peo ple want, at the right price. Try out new ideas on this ‘boss.’ Some of these ideas will ‘click’ and the boss will be pleased with you. Oth ers will miss, and you will have to abandon them immediately.” This revised attitude of the cus tomer means that merchants will have to pay more attention to the personnel of their establishments. Better training for employes, and more careful selection especially of salespeople will be necessary, he declared.
