Tonight’s topic of discussion will be “What Are America’s Vital In terests in the European War?’’ The new club is one of several hundred throughout the United States endowed by the Carnegie institute. Each year the institute furnishes a speaker for each of the clubs. They also publish two sets of books yearly on foreign affairs and present a set to each individual club for the benefit of the mem bers. Copies of these books for several years back may be found in the International Relations club shelf of the browsing room in the library. The club was organized first last year, but most of the members graduated and no officers were elected for this year. Victor P.

Dancing will start at 6 and last until 8 p.m. Soiority Doors to Open for Hop At 6 o'Clock This Afternoon Doors to the women’s living or- ’ ganizations will be wide open at G o’clock this evening, a friendly invitation to the men to come in and get acquainted at the AWS Nickel Hop. Girls in sport dresses and sad dles will greet the fellows who are urged to come and be comforta ble in their tin pants, moleskins, or cords. Individual invitations are not needed.

This is thought to be the first time in the history of the organization that a strictly chapter function has been open to the public. This year’s press banquet is a tradition breaker in another re spect. Never before have the coeds of the journalism school received a special invitation to attend a Sigma Delta Chi social function. The banquet will be held at the Anchorage at 6:30 p.m. “Professor Turnbull is a man who is admired and respected by all who know him,” President George Pasero stated, “and the mem bers of Sigma Delta Chi feel that it would be unfair to refuse his many friends the opportunity to assist in doing him honor on this occasion.” Bill Norene, publicity chairman for the banquet, has literally flooded the campus with tickets to the affair during the last week Norene has drafted a committee of 15 to sell the tickets on the campus. In addition, the tickets are available at school of journal ism offices. Dr. Erb to Address YMCA Conference Donald M.

Known in former years as the Hospital Visiting Out Except for Special Permits Effective immediately, there will be no visiting allowed at the student health service hos pital except where there is some special reason, and then only if special permission has been secured. The reason for this temporary ruling is the pres ence at the hospital of a few cases of influenza and the re port of a rather widespread epi demic around Grants Pass and Medford. Since people get sick, usually, from other people who are sick, and, particularly, because the final examinations are near, it seems wise to do everything that we possibly can to prevent an epidemic. Fred N. Miller, M.D. University Physician I Library Receives Books on Chinese, Japanese Conflict The museum library has recent ly received a number of new books on China, Japan, and Russia. Of special interest are those which deal with the war now going on between China and Japan. Described as a Chinese “All Quiet on the Western Front,” is “Wheat and Soldiers” by Corporal .Ashihei Hino, translated by Bar oness Shidzue Ihimoto. “Inside Asia” by John Gunther, “Japan Over Asia” by William Henry Chamberlin, and “Journey to a War” by W. H. Auden and Chris topher Isherwood, give the Occi dental viewpoint on the situation. Interesting to children because it was written by three little girls, and interesting to grownups be cause of the quality of the writing, is “Our Family” by Adet and Anor Lin. On the subject of Chinese art is “The Chinese Eye” by Chiang Yee, which gives an interpretation of Chinese painting, and “The Heri tage of Cotton” by M. D. C. Craw ford. Chinese women are explained in I “Chinese Women.” "Yesterday and Today” by Florence Ayscough; and “Three Sisters” by Cornelia j Spencer. The last is the story of the powerful Soong family of Chi na.

Backboard Installation Is Delayed Extra Weight/ Game Practice Holds Up Erection Erection of the new glass bas ketball backboards which have ar rived at the University gymna sium in McArthur Court is being delayed because of the fragility of the steel frames upon which they are to be placed, according to Anse Cornell, athletic director. Weighing 350 pounds apiece, they are about 150 pounds heavier than the old boards, which ac counts for need of reinforcing the steel standards. One of the frame- | works t9 hold the backboards is out of line and will also need re pairs. Basketball practice every day and games slated for both Friday and Saturday will consid erably slow up the process, ob served Mr. Cornell. The backboards which are three by six feet have a twelve-inch panel of wood on the lower part, the rest being of glass about an inch thick. Installation of this new apparatus will enable specta tors behind the backboards to see the plays which was Impossible through wooden boards. Acquirement of the glass equip ment here will mark the comple tion of the use of this type of backboard by all six of the col leges in the northern division of the Pacific Coast basketball con ference.
