If you get stuck for ideas call Walker Treece, hospitality head. The man without a country— John Cavanagh, general chair man. Portland papers insist that he is from Salem or Portland. Pigger’s guide says Oregon City. * * * Under the generalship of Bet ty Plankington the speakers committee will invade the living organizations at noon today to personally tell and answer all questions about Dads’ Weekend.

University General Extension Division Enlarges Rooms The general extension division of the University is being remod eled. Where once reigned darkness and crowded seclusion, now there are shining desks, different ar rangements and spacious rooms. Tall files and roomy cabinets abound, and the amount of space has grown extensively. The mem bers of the extension division point with pride to the new airiness and to the well-lighted rooms. This building houses an impor tant part of the University, a part that gives much to the people of Oregon and which forms for them a statewide campus in which any one who desires may participate. Not only do they furnish standard college courses to persons who be cause of preoccupation with bread winning or homemaking cannot attend the University, but they furnish the opportunity to study by correspondence under compe tent supervisors. They give visual instruction through film slides and motion pictures, radio experience is available through station KOAC and contacts can be made through social welfare work. Congo Cutlery Viewed At Museum Display Are you contemplating murder? If so you will probably be fascin ated by the assorted cutlery to be found in the museum of natural history’s Belgian Congo knife col lection. All sizes, shapes and designs may be seen with such terrifying labels as war axes, chopping knives, battle axes, daggers, throwing knives and execution knives. Less bloody in title but with very startling appearance are the sickles and the show knives. One execution knife has a jagged edge, the jags to facilitate more certain decapitation of an individ ual at whom it is directed. Then there’s a throwing knife which presents a rather bizarre appear ance since it has a three-branched blade, all three sprouting from the same handle. Made rrom wrougnt iron, un usual effects have been obtained. Little human heads and various kinds of scallops and frills decor ate the blades as well as the han dles of the knives. All of this Belgian Congo ma terial is part of the Van de Velde loan collection and was collected by two brothers at the time King Leopold took the Belgian Congo. Seniors Will Report For Checkup Soon All seniors desiring a physical examination before graduation should contact the health service for an appointment at their "ear liest possible convenience,” ac cording to Dr. Fred N. Miller, Uni versity physician and health serv ice head. "Not only are these examina tions of personal advantage to the student who receives them because of the fact that unsuspected health defects may be found, but they are often necessary for students who are applying for work,” declared Dr. Miller in an announcement sent out yesterday. Delay in arranging for an ex amination may result in students not being able to get a check-up when needed or may even make it impossible for them to receive one at all. according to the health serv ice head. Skiing Equipment Shown This Week In Campus Libe A display on skiing is being shown in the lobby of the Univer sity library circulation department.
