Rhodes Scholarship Applications Will Be Due by November 5 November 5 will be the last date that applications for the 1938 Rhodes scholarships will be accepted by the local committee on foreign scholarships, according to Professor Stephenson Smith, chairman, and secretary of the Rhodes state committee. Thirty-two scholarships, providing a two-year course at Oxford University for the winners, are awarded each year to outstanding men or American colleges as a feature of the will of the late Cecil Rhodes, who, in offering these opportunities for an Oxford education asked that awards be made on a basis of four groups of qualities, Professor Smith said. These four groups include (a) literary and scholastic ability and attainments, (b) qualities of man hood—truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy, kindliness, fellow ship and unselfishness, (c) exhibi tion of moral force of character and interest in his schoolmates, and (d) physical vigor, as dis played in interest in outdoor sports. . Qualifications Listed Each applicant must have com pleted his sophomore year at col lege, must be male and unmarried, and cannot be less than 19 or more than 25 years of age. Students from any of the schools repre sented on the University of Ore gon campus are eligible, the com mittee head explained, however applicants from the professional schools should also have some spe cial training in literature, history or science. The only type of examination given here to applicants will be oral, and that test is scheduled for Sunday, October 30, from which high-rating students will thence appear at the regional meet for further questioning. “Since one of the purposes of the scholarship is to cultivate a better acquaintance and understanding of Britain and Europe in general,’’ , Mr. Smith said, “one of the requisites looked for in would-be applicants is a knowledge of international affairs, so the local committee will prob ably dwell upon that feature a good deal in their examination.” Smith Only Winner Professor Smith, who became chairman of the committee on foreign scholarships upon the resignation of Dr. George Rebec, was the first Oregon student to secure the scholarship to the Eng lish university after the World war, and is the only winner on the campus at this time.

Chief Wahoo-Wahoo Makes Bid for Job (PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 10.— (Special)—A full-blood' Indian is making a great bid for a halfback position on University of Port land’s football eleven. He is Herman (Chief Wahoo Wahoo) Boyd, a sophomore, who comes from Willapinit, Wash., where he’s a member of the Spo kane tribe.

Pi Kaps Have Rough Time on Gay Weekend The last weekend contained a great deal of excitement for the Pi Kaps, with open house, a free for-all rough housing, a pledge walkout, and lastly, a house cleaning that lasted from 6 o' clock Sunday night till early Monday morning which the pledges are reported to have thoroughly enjoyed. Passersby in the vicinity were puzzled by a sound resembling a canoe paddle being slapped on water. After the “Bunion Derby” a pitched battle between members and pledges took place at the house. • The outcome of this was the capture of several members (including the prexy) who were taken down town in their paja mas. Upon arriving in the busi ness district several of the pledges and the members were almost thrown in the local bastile for disturbing the peace. The bell hop at the Eugene hotel called the police department after most of the guests had been aroused from slumber by cries of, “Help! Murder! Police!” Around 4 o’clock in the morn ing, the members were set free, and the pledges scattered to all points of the compass. A large number of them went deer hunt ing. (Soon after it was reported that the members were also hunting—pledges). The pledges upon arriving home were quoted as saying that they had enjoyed their short vacation and were ready to go to work. Men Fail to Make Use of Gym Baskets Although the number of baskets checked out in the men’s PE bas ket room has shown a slight in crease over that of last year, many students who have paid for the right to use this service have not yet used it, Dean R. W. Leighton of the physical education depart ment said yesterday. The right to use the basket room is now the privilege of every stu dent who has paid the regular $32 registration fee, Dean Leighton said. Any student who present his fee receipt to the basket room in the north end of the new men’s gym will be given a full gym suit and the privileges to use the building for activities, he explained. Student Fees (Continued from page one) they were all good or if they came to air gripes. Probably both. But it was an "open door.’’ How to Say It Taken from a sports column is the following paragraph, perhaps an example of "Toward Better Ex pression": "Locked room chatter was juicy for the past few evenings and sun dray afternoons in the past as the rough and readies tied up their torsos.”—The Siskiyou.

Dr. Bowen Approves (Continued from page one) “Their interest lies not only in their own special field but in things in general. They are able to speak equally well on political situations here and abroad and what is taking place in the world of literature and drama. They have something to say and know how to say it,” he continued. Dr. Bowen maintains that the students who work for honors are better equipped to meet the world for they know how to think and how to work out new problems. They are men and women of broader training and broader inter ests than the average person. In conclusion, Dr. Bowen stated that people who graduate with honors now get much the same type of training that some 20 or 30 years ago men and women re ceived in the best New England colleges. To be eligible for honors work 1 a student must have a cumulative j grade point average of 2.75 in I lower division work. He then car i ries regular courses in the uppei 1 division to satisfy University re | quirements, ,and in addition he j supplements his required work ; with independent studies super vised by a member of the faculty To culminate his study, the stm dent must write an accepted thesis and pass an examination conduct ed by the department or schoo supervising his program. He musi i also fulfill the necessary Univer | «ity requirements. He is then eli gible to receive a bachelor's degrei i with honors. Students may register for hon ors work anytime during thei junior year or at the beginning o their senior year. Mary Jane oHrton, junior, is ; Pi Phi transfer from Knox college Gaei-burg Illinois. Prison Survey Now Nearing Completion A nation-wide survey of parole, pardon, probation and prison condi tions is now nearing completion under the direction of Wayne L. Morse, dean of the law school. From 1936 until February of last year Dean Morse served as assistant director of the project. He was promoted to the directorship by Attorney-General Cum Surrealistic Window Shows ’Real Collegiana' “Screwy? . . . sure!’’ By printed self-admission, that’s what the surrealistic com posite of campus life is, now to be found in the window of Clay pool and Van Atta this week to inform students about the 1939 Oregana. Called a ‘'composite of col legiana’’ by editors of the Uni versity yearbook, it shows, as if a picture in a silver frame, objects which represent features of campus life. A golf club, a paint brush, a green-and-yellow dink, three toy ducks, a filing box in which notes of knowledge may be stored until examina tions come around — these and many others are making stu dents smile and puzzle. As the editors agree, it’s “sur realistic . . . maybe, but your Oregana captures all the school year, too.’’ An exhibit of Oreganas, from the earliest editions down to the 1938 natural-color issue, will be on display in the browsing room of the library next week. History Professors Working on Books “History of Linfield College” by J. A. Jonasson, professor of history at Linfield, will be reviewed by Dr. H. D. Sheldon, professor of history and education, in the December issue of the “Oregon Historical Quarterly.” A copy of the book is to be put into the library. Dr. R. C. Clark, head of the his tory department, is writing a re view of the “Marcus Whitman Crusade” Part II, for the Mississ ippi Valley Historical Review, he disclosed. The article will be pub lished in the December issue. Dr. John T. Ganoe, associate professor of history, is starting work on a book, "The Survey of Recent American History” to be published by the Oxford Book company sometime in the spring, he said. mings to head a staff of 1800 per sons. In July. 1937, when all the field work had been completed, the attorney-general appointed him to serve as editor-in-chief of a series of volumes based on the data col-' lected during the course of the survey. The manuscript of the study, which is now before the ex ecutive committee of the survey, will be published in five volumes. Attorney - General Cummings heads the committee of four who are in charge of the release of the survey. The executive committee chairman is Brien McMahon, chief of the criminal division of the de partment of justice; his assistants ! are James V. Bennett, director, Bureau of Prisons and Gordon Dean, special executive assistant to the attorney general. iThe survey represents an expen diture of more than $1,000,000. Its results are awaited by workers in the field of law enforcement. Although Dean Morse has re turned to Eugene this fall he is still devoting considerable time to completing details of the study which is to be published not later than March 1, 1939. Dean Morse is extremely enthu siastic about the work of the United States' department of justice. The department has probably made the finest record during the present administration than at any other time in history, according to his observations. Freshman Balloting (Continued from page one) being confined to issuing a few handbills and posters and a little last-minute speaking before repre- ! sentative groups. The placid front of this year marks a sharp contrast with the '37 fall election when on one ticket there was one candidate at 3 o’clock, two candidates for presi dent at 6, and the second nominee only at 9. Last year's melee was also climaxed when an independent minority threatened to have the whole thrown out. Mr. C. B. Beall, professor of romance languages, spent the sum mer as an instructor of French and Italian at Johns Hopkins uni-1 versity. He also did research work at the Library of Congress in Washington in preparation for an article which will be published in a French journal.
