AT BANQUET . . . Moll Reveals National Spirit Of Australians Press Conference Names Hoyt Head For Coming Year Speaking from first-hand infor mation, Professor Krnest G. Moll of the University Saturday told banqueters of the Oregon Press conference something of the spirit of the Australians in the present war. Mr. Moll, associate professor of Knglish, is a native of Australia and has gleaned his material from actual observation and interviews with the people there. Australians, onee they were con vinced that they could do little to forestall war, went into it with a excellent spirit that was partially curiousity and partially a sincere desire to do their part, Professor Moll declared in closing. At the banquet which was held at John Straub Memorial hall, Palmer Hoyt, publisher of the Ore gonian, was named president of the association for the coming year. George Turnbull, professor df journalism, was re-named sec retary for the twenty-first time. As special entertainment, four students from the editing class of the journalism school presented a special broadcasting stunt. Parti cipating were Dick Williams, Sal ly Mitchell, Jean Crites and Bill Fendall.

Jan Reiner reoeived his early training at the University of Prague, under the world-famous Le Corbusier in Paris, and in Nor way under Ove Bang, before com ing to this country. In the United States he studied at Harvard with Gropius and received his master's degree there. Fred Lockley Sneaks To Reporting Class Fred Lockley, famed interview er for the Oregon Journal, spoke to Professor George Turnbull’s 11 o’clock reporting class Monday on the topic of interviews and how to get them. He stressed the benefits to be derived from liking people and finding them interesting. He said that consideration for the other fellow netted him many inter views he would not otherwise have had.

'Down Under'Is Home To UOProfessor-Poet By ADELE SAY Passengers on the electric trains somewhere between Sidney and Cronulla in Australia last year, lit tle realized that in their midst was Mr, Ernest Moll, Australian writer and English professor here, and that he was writing the book of poetry that was to be acclaimed by the Commonwealth Literary com mittee of Australia as the best book of 1940. Along the sun-washed Australian beaches rode Dr. Moll, catching the beauty of his country; the deep splendor of his native soil. Australia Still Home "One never forgets the place where he has lived as a boy,” said Prof. Moll. "I love the land and the country and the climate.” Sidney, Australia, where Dr. Moll lived, has the highest sunshine rate in the world for a city of its size. Mr. Moll left Australia when he was a young man. It wras the idea of his three brothers that he should go to school in America, and he attended the University of Wis consin here and received his master of arts degree from Harvard uni versity. Last year he was back in Aus tralia visiting and completing his prize book “Cut From Mulga.” "Mulga is a tree that grows in the desert in Australia,” Prof. Moll explained. "He has an ash tray made of mulga and an aborigene’s boomerang of the same wood. Many Comments Vance Palmer, famous Austra lian critic and writer said of Mr. Moll's new book; “Here is some thing that springs as directly from the soil as Robert Frost's poetry in America or A. E. Housman's in England.” Hugh McCrea, famous Austra lian poet said of Mr. Moll, "My favorite poet forever.” Whether it's Australian or Am erican soil, Poet Moll still loves it. His kind, straight gaze has the simple strength of the nature he! writes about. Hilltop House Here in Eugene he has a home on a hill top where at sunset the shaggy fingers of firs and pines are outlined like soldiers on the surrounding hills. Down below his home is his study, a small yellow building. Nestled within the hill, it is a re treat for his academic soul. Books line the walls and there is a fire place. Professor Moll also has a garden. He broke the soil for it himself five years ago. "Everything you can think of grows here in the spring,” he said. Pastime Is Fishing “Another thing I do for relaxa tion is fishing," said Mr. Moll. “Fly fishing I've never been caugnt yet with a bait in my hand. And when I go fishing, I never write, I just ®jaisjarai3ia.taisjaieysisjaiBi3iaiejaisiEjae"; Believe It or Not DON’T GUESS j CALL JESS j GODLOVE The Plumber 31 East 7th Ph. 547 £ | t LiSlSISIB/S/S/3fSI3IS(SJSlSI3IfflSfSlSiS®SI3Itt forget everything anti enjoy it to the full.” ‘‘I don’t like routine,” said Prof. Moll, ‘‘but I believe some of it is necessary, though we are getting freer. “My idea is to get as much time to myself as possible after my work's finished.” School Betters Placing System BA Students Meet Thursday to Talk About Job-Hunting For the first time in its history, the business administration school will have a systematized method of placing its graduates, according to reports from Victor P. Morris, dean of the school.

SUCCESS Band Concert Rated Success Musicians Perform Work by Composer Of 'Pavane' Fame Bach didn’t, in the A:ec Temple ton phrase, "go to town," but Nor ton Gould and several other- more mouern composers certainly “went over with a bang” when the 50 piece University of Oregon band was directed in concert Sunday af ternoon in the music auditorium try John H. Stehn. Conductor Stehn opened the pro gram with two comparatively “heavy” classical compositions, “Prelude and Fugue in B Minor" by Bach and “Coriolanus” overture by Beethoven. Considerably bet ter done by the band and much better liked by the more-than-cap acity audience was the following group of four selections from the “Nutcracker Suite” of Tschaik owsky. What might be termed as per sonal hits were scored by Art Hol man, guest conductor, and Morton Gould, composer of “Pavane,” when Holman stepped to the podi um to direct Gould’s “Tropical.” The current craze for melodic themes that sound like they come from down Argentine way may have been responsible for the deaf ening applause. The number was repeated promptly, and once again at the conclusion of the concert. Mr. Stehn reclaimed his baton for the concluding number, the first movement from the second symphony of Alexandre Borodin. The selection, which had its Eu gene premiere Sunday, abounded in the dKotic rhythms of Russia and shbwed the influence of the romantics who lived in Borodin's time. Miss Smith Reports Good Job Prospects Returning to her office Satur day after a job-hunting trip to Portland and Bonneville of four days, Miss Janet Smith, employ ment secretary, reported a suc cessful trip. “Increasingly good business conditions promise better employment conditions,” she said. During her stay in Portland Miss Smith spoke to six or seven groups including the University of Oregon mothers’ club, PEO groups, and mothers clubs of sev eral fraternities. Water Boils, Freezes Without Treatments P,V BrVFRI/V PA DOH A M When water boils without fire, that’s amazing-. But when water boils and freezes at the same time, without either fire or refrigeration—that’s spectacular. Astonished general chemistry students saw this phen omenon when Dean O. F. Stafford performed the unusual demonstra tion for the first time on the cam pus. The experiment revealed the peculiar effect of reduced pressure on water. The whole principle is both interesting and simple when it is finally untangled from a maze of technical terms. Pressure Reduced When the pressure on water is reduced, the well-known Il 'O will boil even at normal room temper ature. The lower the pressure, the lower the boiling point of the water. Mr. R. C. Andrews, instruc tor in chemistry, said that if the pressure is low enough, water will still boil at freezing temperatures. Water Colder Another effect of the lowered pressure is that water gets cold er as the pressure is lessened. It is a combination of these tw-o prin ciples which make the demonstra tion so unusual. Dean Stafford began the experi ment by putting water into a clos ed fiask. The pressure was reduc ed by pumping all the air out. By getting the pressure to the point where the water was still boiling and yet approaching the freezing point he was able to show the 200 students water boiling beneath a layer of ice. Dr. Stanles Elected * Mining Group Head Dr. L. W. Staples, geology in structor, was elected chairman of the Oregon section of the Ameri can institute of mining and metal lurgical engineers for the year 1941 at the last meeting held Sat urday evening in Portland.

Jameson, professor of sociology, spoke to the league of women voters of Clatsop county at Astoria hotel in Astoria on Jan uary 8.

It suggested establishment of a com mission for these institutions on basis of the merit system. Ja‘‘ Balconq Sale FRAMED PICTURES Priced 50c to $39.
