Did you get in the wrong class, buy the book before you discovered your mistake ? Did you register for one course and later find out that you had purchased the text for another course ? Or did you register in a course and decide (after you had the text) to drop it because it was too tough or because it wasn't what you thought it was? >-, Well, cheer up. There's a solution to your problem. If the books are returned to the Co-op today (the last day that registrations and withdrawals can be made at the registrar's office without charge), full or partial price of the book will be refunded, M. F. McClain, manager, said yes terday. Must Be New He added that the book must be new. Partial refund will be made upon those books in which the stu dent has written his name.

Fellowship Dinner Features Folk Game Folk dances and games from foreign countries will be featured at the social hour of the World Fellowship dinner in Gerlinger at 6 o’clock on Wednesday. Among the folk games will be Chinese checkers—the game which is tak ing the country by storm—which really isn’t a Chinese game at all: instead it’s a new name for the Scandinavian “Helma.” Dr. Richard M. Steiner of Port land will speak briefly during the dinner which is to be served cafe teria style. Ted Smith will be mas ter of ceremonies. Following the dinner, students interested in forming a Cosmopoli tan club on the campus will ad journ for organization. School clothes are in order for the evening, the committee mem bers announce.

Following his evening address, the noted minister will hold a forum on “Religion and Life” in alumni hall, Thursday morning at 11, when students may asked ques tions and discuss problems con fronting them. “Since no assembly is being held Thursday, and there are no 11 o’clock classes, I would suggest Rev. Steiner’s forum a good place to spend that hour,” Dean of Per sonnel Karl W. Onthank said yes terday. Any student interested in secur ing individual conferences with the speaker may do so by contacting Francis Beck, YMCA secretary here, who is in charge of the ap pearance of Rev. Steiner.

Bring Pop to Oregon' Not on Beer Question That there is absolutely no tie-up between the Dad’s day slogan “Bring Pop to Oregon” and the recent controversy over beer and wine near the campus was ascertained in a statement from Dad’s day Chairman John Luvaas yesterday. Luvaas’ reaction to the news of the confusion was one of sur prise. A chance remark of one of the campus monologuer's was the first indication heard. “ ‘Bring Pop to Oregon,’ ” the campus monologuer was heard to say, “why it’s the most ridicu lous thing I ever heard of. Next thing they will be doing will be to banish davenports at house dances and increase the candle watt power of lights to 500!” After issuing the statement Luvaas went on to say that the deadline for the Dad’s day best letter contest has been extended to midnight Friday.

Dad's Day Motif May Be Blocked “Save your sport coats, bright green pants, sabot shoes, and screwy hats,” wailed Dad’s Day Promoter Hub Kuokka last night to the dashing youth of UO. "Maybe 20 years from now your children will have use for them.” Worries crease the youthful brow of Kuokka who recently got all excited about having the coming Dad's day in the theme of the time when “Dad” went to college and now finds that all the clothes of that period have either been given to the junk men or have made the rounds of the rummage sales years ago.

'Lowly Items' Grow Into Works of Art _ From coal mine to statue—this was the unusual fate of the piece of coal which Miss Murial Patterson of the art department found and has been transforming into a figure. Miss Patterson with the use of a chisel, a mallet, a jackknife, and a piece of sandpaper, has changed the lump of soft coal into a shiny : black human figure about ten inches high, which is to have a head of aluminum. The coal was chipped slowly to keep it from breaking, then rubbed with fine sandpaper, according to Miss Jean Sutherland; graduate assistant in the sculpture department. It now has the ap pearance of black marble and is awaiting a head. Clarence Bates, student assist ant in the department, has been working on the cedar figure of a dentist at work to be used by Dr. George Bauman of Portland, for his lecture on dentistry at the San | Francisco fair this summer. The ! work which consists of a dentist j and his patient, will be completed this week. Miss Sutherland has been work ing on a tiger of hammered copper. As yet hammered copper has not been taught in the school because of the lack of proper facilities to teach it, Miss Sutherland ex plained.

Howrcver, at the library of con gress he did a considerable amount of work. * The trip afforded Dr. Wright I great opportunities to meet schol ars who are interested in Spanish American linguistics. This was pri marily his purpose in going. Best International 1936 Motion Picture To Be Shown Todaq “La Kermessc Heroique” (Car nival in Flanders), named the best international motion picture of 1936, will be presented this after noon and evening in the physical education building as the premiere showing of a French film on the University campus. A completely French dialogue film, clarified with English sub titles, “La Kermesse Heroiquc” has been brought to the campus by Pi Delta Phi, French honorary so ciety, which is making plans to show a series of the best French movies on the campus.

Pi Delta Phi has been planning j to bring French films to the cam j pus for some time, Dr. Carl L. Johnson, head of the French de i partment, in charge of arrange ments to bring the picture here, ! -said.

Comedy develops when the burgomaster plays dead and the village holds a wake with the in vading soldiers. According to a review in the I New York Times, January 0, 1937, . "tlie film has achieved a delicate balance between broad farce and subtle humor which makes it one , of the most refreshing and witty picture;, of the >tar.'

'Prof' Knight Uses Camera To Advantage The tendency toward profes sionalism may be the course of the present educational system to some, but to George Knight, member of George H. Godfrey's class in graphic journalism, it is highly commendable. Knight, in an assignment for the photography class, took a number of shots in the home of Wayne L. Morse, dean of the law school. They turned out ex ceptionally well, and he submit ted them to the Oregonian, which accepted them. They were featured Sunday in j the Home, Farm, and Garden section in a two-page layout as the "home of the week."
