Science Club
Will Show Film
The behavior and intelligence
of the golden-mantled ground
squirrel will be the topic of a lec
ture and motion pictures to be
presented by Dr. Lester F. Beck,
associate professor of psychology.
He will give his lecture at an
open meeting of Sigma Xi, sci
ence honorary, at 8 p.m. Tuesday
Evening in 207 Chapman hall.
Dr. Beck will discuss adapta
tions which the squirrels have
made to their natural environ
ment, attributes of behavior
which make them desirable ani
mals for experimental purposes,
and will tell of experiments which
have been made with the squir
rels.
Two reels of colored motion
pictures will be shown illustrat
ing the behavior of the animals,
and experiments made with them.
Squirrels used in the pictures
were trained by Monroe Shelley,
graduate assistant in psychology.
The squirrels were captured at
^Crater lake, where they are
prevalent.
The general public is invited
to attend. A business meeting of
Sigma Xi will be held at 7:30,
preceding the lecture. Dr. Ken
neth S. Ghent, assistant profes
sor of mathematics, is president
of the organization.

a popular restaurant when a
stranger stopped him. “Who do

“The law!” was the answer as
the policeman pulled out his

Mutterings at Midnight: Like
Marilyn Marshall who stayed at
a sister ADPi’s house . . . while
waiting for her date to show up,
she sat on the davenport and
watched a flame burst into a
small fire and consume the
window awnings. Suddenly it
dawned on her that the house she
was in was on fire; but not for
long, for her date arrived on the
scene and squelched the blaze.

game, but in the opposite direc
tion; Medford, his home. Anyway,
on his return to the campus, he
brought back his 1916 Ford, re

Dads ’ Day
February 14
Roses are red, violets are blue
—and Dads’ day comes on Valen
tine’s, too.
It looks as though the Oregon
Dads are just sentimentalists af
ter all. At a meeting held Friday,
October 17, they set February 14
as the date for Dads’ day.
Actually the reason advanced
for selecting this date was the
basketball game between Oregon
and Oregon State scheduled for
that evening. To make it possi
ble for Dads to see the game the
annual dinner is changed to a
luncheon. This should also enable
them to meet more faculty mem
bers at a special banquet later,
later.
A gain in statewide enrollment
was announced by State Presi
dent Joseph F. Riesch, who pre
sided at the meeting.
College Adventurers
(Continued from page two)
Getting lost in a subway is noth
ing out of the ordinary, but to
find 7,000,000 people speaking a
strange language seemed out of
the ordinary to us and as a re
sult we spent three hours getting
out. We met, at the American
embassy, a former University of
Washington girl and a former
University of Texas boy who de
lighted in showing us the town.
They fed ' us Manchurian food,
got us dates with two Japanese
girls and arranged for our meet
ing Joseph Grew, U.S. ambassa
dor to Japan.
On the fifth day we returned
south to Kobe only to discover
our ship, instead of going to
South America, was called into
government service. To save face
at the American consulate we
left on the last ship to leave Ja
pan for a foreign port and ten
days later arrived in Hong Kong
on our way to Singapore.
Seeing South America was out
of the question, we decided to try
and obtain work on the Burma
road; however, as it proved later,
one day and one night in Hong
Kong was hardly time enough to
make the proper connections. We
did though, meet Colonel William
Mayer, U.S. military attache to
Chungking and to our surprise he
was not concerned the least over
the fact we were not registered
in the draft. In fact he all but
gave one of us a job as his per
sonal secretary. That night we
dined with Royal Leonard in his
modernistic apartment in Kow
loon just across the bay from
Hong Kong. He is chief pilot for
C.N.A.C. and as John Gunther
states in Inside Asia,, “He is the
young man responsible for Chi
ang Kai-shek’s departure from
Sian after the kidnapping.”
Jam for Breakfast
(Continued from payc two)
not going to speak, nor will we
have declared war officially, it’s
just the national anthem, so crush
out the cigarette, pour the gin
into the rubber plant and stand
up. Do you good.
Favorite Orks?
Since this column’s beginning
there haven’t been thousands of
letters pouring in every day ask
ing for me to pick my favorite
bands, therefore, in response to
this complete lack of reader re
action, I shall now do my damn
dest to list my five fav combos.
I just remembereef though, I
haven’t got room. Maybe next
time shall we say. Read Thurs
day and find out if Sandy found
Annie; if Squire Slagg is really
the old—that Proctor & Gamble
would have him be; if Glenn Mil
ler is really the band that Ches
terfield would have him be. I'm
bored.
University of Minnesota recent

UO Class Card
Poll Conducted
Just exactly now do University
students stand on the subject of
class cards?
With the freshman class vitally
interested, and with the rest cf
the school watching to see what
this year’s class will do with the
recurring issue, the senior editing
class in journalism conducted an
opinion poll which covered 300
students. The poll was designed,
scientifically, to reach indepen
dents and Greeks, co-ops and
dorms, in the proper percentage
according to the number from
each organization enrolled in
school.
The findings have been divided
and tabulated according to class
es in school and living organiza
tions.
One of the most interesting re
sults of the poll is the fact that
Greek freshmen show a heavier
majority in favor of the paid
class card than any other class
in the Greek category. In fact,
the Greek freshmen are the only
classification which indicated fa
vor of the paid class card.
Independents favor the free
class card, 115 to 13. Six per cent
more than half of the Greek
freshmen went on record as fa
voring the paid class card and
the sophomore and junior classes
favored a free class card by a
61 per cent majority. Senior
Greek men and women eked out
a margin of one in favor of the
free class card.
