A photographed facsimile of the
Domesday Book, manuscript of
eleventh century England, was
presented to the history depart

vice-president of the University,
Dr. R. C. Clark, department head,

the census of Hefordshire, it is the
exact size of the original copy.
The photo was secured • by Dr.
Barker at the public record office
in London and will be turned over
to the library.
The original manuscript of the
book consists of two volumes. The
first and larger of the two records
comprises the history of the rest
of England except for the most
northerly counties. The second is
devoted to the three eastern coun
ties. By the king’s instructions it
makes a national value list, esti
mating the value of the land in the
counties. In each county the list
opened with the holdings of the
king, then those of the churchmen
and so on in order of their standing
in the community. The Domesday
Book can be seen in the museum
at the public record office in Lon
don. It received a modem binding
in 1869.

Robinson Tells Class
Women Walk Like Ducks
“The term ‘webfoots’ might haVe been applied to Oregon from
observing the sloppy waddle of the women’s walk,” said Horace W.
Robinson, drama instructor in the University. This remark was
made to the class of technique of acting in the midst of a “work
out” attempting to correct posture difficulties and add a smooth
finish to the students’ walk.
“Never in all the places I have been have I seen so many women
with so much waddle in their walk,” Mr. Robinson declared. “It’s all
in the art of wearing low-heeled shoes. Some can and some can’t,
but they all do.”
Mr. Robinson, who is well-known on the campus for his dramatic
productions, orders all women in his casts to wear high heels to
rehearsals as an aid to good posture. He pointed out that with
high heels the weight is centered lower back or else the women
will fall on their faces.

Bonfire Work Lags;
Frosh Full of Woe
Men Scarce, Wails
Prexy; Letter men,
House Heads Act
In spite of having the largest en
rollment of any first-year class in
University history, the frosh are
having their troubles in bonfire
building for Homecoming, accord
ing to reports last night from the
scene of construction.
With only two days remaining
before the pile-to-be burns on noise
parade night, about all the frosh
have to show for their efforts is a
framework of poles.
Materials and men are the main
sources of corncern, according to
Frosh Prexy Jack Daniels, who
sent out the materials committee
last night and contacted house
presidents in an effort to recruit
men.
As a last report, Daniels said he
might use last year’s frosh tactics
of taking a press gang to collect
men to build the pyre. Crews will
work all day today and tomorrow.
Cooperation of the Order of the
"O” was being lined up, the letter
men combining with house presi
dents to see that the manpower in
freshmen would be on hand. Pad
dles were being brought out in
anticipation of persuasive mea
sures.
Vigilantes went to work last
night, guarding the campus.
Outstanding radio artists and
technicians are on the faculty of
the New York university summer

Tropic Fish Acquired
By Zoology School
They call them angel fish, but they’re no angels.
These queerly shaped black and white striped tropical fiah which
have recently been added to the aquarium in Deady by Professor J, E.
Herbertson of the zoology department, have already devoured a dozen
or more of the tiny guppies which are in the same tank.
Interesting is the way angel fish go about building their nests.
The male fish comes to the surface
for air. Then he sinks to the bot
tom, coats the oxygen with saliva,
and spits bubbles, which rise and
gather on the surface, and are used
by the female for nesting purposes.
While the female hatches her eggs,
the male angel fish stands guard
close by.
Professor Herbertson feeds these
fish prepared fish food, but he
plans to include living organisms
in their diet, which not only causes
rapid growth, but also brightens
(the colors of the fish.
New Grade System
Approved by Faculty;
Amendments Added
Action Possibility
To Put Courses on
New Plan; Chance
Of Congestion
Action towards putting courses
on the new “pass-and-flunk" grad
ing system, effective winter term,
may be taken by the faculties of
the various schools, reports last
night indicated.
No definite plan has been adopt
ed. The proposal passed last nigkt
by the general faculty in their
meeting in Friendly hall did not
state when the new grading sys
tem was to go into effect. This
leaves the time up to the faculty
members.
Indications from those faculty
members supporting the measure
indicate that definite steps will be
taken towards recommending that
courses in their schools be put on
the new system immediately.
Among the advocates of the
proposal, planning immediate ac
tion, is the art school. Steps to
place courses in this school on the
"no-grade” system will be taken
as soon as possible, Eyler Brown,
associate professor, indicated.
The plan, however, requires a
recommendation to be made by
the faculty and accepted through
the regular machinery for changes
in the status of courses. If this
causes too much congestion the*
plan may be deferred until next
year, official sources hinted.
Morris Will Attend
Meeting in Portland
Dean Will Take in
American Foreign
Policy Discussion
Victor P. Morris, dean of the
business administration school will
be in Portland this week to attend
a dinner meeting of a discussion
group of the American Foreign
Policy. The group consists of
leaders of thought in Portland and
is associated with similar groups
in eight other leading cities of the
United States.
International problems facing
the American people will form the
theme of the discussions, the first
one being “The Impact of Other
Forms of Government Upon Demo,
catic Institutions.”
Tuesday Dr. Morris spoke to
the Portland branch of the League
of Women Voters on “The Funda
mental Nature of Democratic Gov
ernment."
Each year this organization
sponsors a series of lectures deal
ing with important political and
economic problems. This year the
series had had in mind especially
the fact that 1938 is an election
year, and Dr. Morris in his clos
ing lecture discussed particularly
the threats to democratic institu
tions and the elements of strength
in the democratic idea.
Dr. Morris’ classes this week are
being held by his assistants. The
class in conservation of national
resources will not meet today, al
though the class will be held for
the regular assignment.
Dr. Morris left for Portland
early Tuesday morning and will
not return until Saturday. He will
teach his regular classes in the
Portland extension center on Fri
day and Saturday.

New Uniforms Here
For Junior Officers
New ROTC uniforms for junior
officers have arrived and will be
distributed today, Col. Robert M.
Lyon, military head, stated.
The uniforms, for those students
in the first year advanced military
course, consist of a light pair of
pants, dark coat with hat to match,
Sam Browne belt, and other offi
cial equipment completing the out
fit. When these officers are com
missioned as reserve officers in
two years, the uniforms will belong
to them.
An elastic, long-wearing mater
ial was used for both coat and
pants. Each year competitive firms
bid for the uniform order; a Port
land company received the order
for the 44 uniforms this year.
ROTC companies are perfecting
drill maneuvers for the Armistice
day parade. A memorial program,
to be held at McArthur court, has
been planned, said Colonel Lyon.
Recreation Engineer
Talk, Shows Slides
Recent developments in moun
tain areas were described to land

BADMINTON CLUB

this evening at 7 o’clock in the
Gerlinger gymnasium. Men and
women both are invited, whether
or not they have had any previous
experience. Equipment will be fur
nished.
Changes Provided
For 'No-Grade# and
Flunk Pass Basis;
Law School Exempt
Passed after two amendments
had been added the long-discussed
grading plan, which will place
grades for some courses on a dif
ferent basis than the present grade
point system, will go into effect
before the start of fall term next
year, the general faculty decided in
a meeting in Friendly hall yester
day.
One amendment provides for the
placing of some courses on the “no
grade” or flunk-and-pass basis, by
a proposal of any member of the
faculty group and the approval of
the regular machinery for changes
in the status of courses. The plan
formerly stated that the proposal
must come upon recommendation
of the minor school in which the
course is listed.
Lawyers Exempt
The only other amendment was
to exempt the law school from the
plan since they already have a dif
ferent set-up.
Recommendation was submitted
by the senate committee and
passed by the faculty senate in an
earlier meeting. It will not do
away with the fundamentals of the
present GPA system, but will
make it possible for some courses
regarded by students as “pipes,” to
be placed on the “no-grade” basis.
The recommendation must come
from the faculty and be approved
by the regular machinery for
changes in courses, E. H. Moore,
professor of sociology and chair
man of the senate committee in
vestigating the proposal, said.
Move Is Unopposed
The motion was carried without
opposition after the amendments
had been added. Professor Moore,
speaking for the proposal, pointed
out that the new system will mea
surably relieve the present con
gestion in “pipe” courses, caused
by students trying to bolster their
GPAs.
The new setup will not change
the 2.00 point GPA requirement
for graduation. It will merely sub
stitute a required total of 150
hours of graded courses as com
pared with 186 now listed. This
would give students leeway to take
36 hours of “no-grade” courses.
