Liverpool Graduate
Graduated from Liverpool Uni
versity, England, Dr. Williams
served on a fellowship at Liver
pool in 1923, receiving his master's
degree the next year and in 1928
he attained his doctor of science
degree. He also workd at the Im
perial College of Science, and the
Royal School of Mines, both in
London.
Serving as commonwealth fel
low at the University of Califor
nia, Dr. Williams later joined the
staff as an associate professor,
until, in 1937 he was promoted to
the position of professor, and as
chairman of his department in
1945.
Prominent Geologist
As a member of the Geological
Society of America, the Seismo
logical" society, Liverpool Geologi
cal society, and the Geological
society of London, Dr. Williams is
reputed to be one of the most
competent men in the country in
interpreting the scientific thought
of his field into the non-technical
terms.
Author of many books on the
volcanos of the Navajo-Hopi coun
try of Arizona, the Cascades, of
Oregon and California, Nicaragua
and many other places, he has also
written “Crater-Lake—the Story
of its Origin,” a non-technical
book.
Paricutin, the subject of his
first lecture, is found in the state
of Michan, west of Mexico City.
Intended as part of a program
for the interpretation of science
for the layman, the establishment
of the Condon lecture series was
suggested by the late Dr. John
Campbell Merriam, consultant and
lecturer on the human values of
science and nature.

Reporter Nominated
Victory Loan Queen
A candidate for queen of the
victory loan was uncovered
today on a reporting beat quite
by aceident. The junior chamber
of commerce of Eugene is spon
soring Sallie Timmens, Gamma
Phi sophomore in the University,
as candidate for queen of the
Victory Loan, it Was learned
Thursday from Harold Wyatt,
manager of the Rex and Mc
Donald theaters.
Miss Timmens, as a reporter
on that beat, was asked to be
this candidate. She had gone
after news, little knowing how
good it would be.
Libe Gets New
Spine-Tinglers
Among new books in the library
are a number of rental novels on
the lighter side. Just the thing for
dark, dreary nights are some real
thrillers, many with a touch of
humor to balance the chills.
“The Ghost and Mrs. Muir,” by
R. A. Dick, is a weird little spine
tingler about life in a cottage,
haunted by the voice of a dead sea
captain which casually strolls
about the house. It’s also good for
a long'chuckle.
Ruth Sawtell Wallis’ “Blood
From a Stone,” deals with a young
woman archaeologist, who, while
in France, finds not the bones of
a pre-historic animal, but the
body of a very new corpse. To
complete the list of mysteries is
“Black Tarn,” by P. W. Wilson.
It is the story of an English re
porter who covers Parliamentary
activities, and of an occurrence in
the House of Lords that nets him
an assignment leading to ghosts,
murder, and" any number of sur
prises.
Poetry
Helpful for relaxing in these
days of midterms are three books
of poems; just the thing to set
one’s imagination wandering.
Walter de la Mare is presented inr
a collection of well-known poems,
entitled “The Burning Glass.”
Another collection, “Springboard”
by Louis Macneice, reflects Eng
land under the ordeal of war. Nor
man Nicholson, a poet who is
establishing an enviable reputa
tion in England, is shown in an
edition entitled, “Five Rivers.”
Light Novels
Those enjoying light novels
should like, “Orchard Hill,” by
Elizabeth Seifert, the story of
quick wartime courtship, and a
woman’s marriage to a man she
had only known for three months.
Laid in contemporary China, is a
All-Campus Show
Scheduled Tonight
The all-campus talent show,
sponsored by the Westminster
house, Presbyterian group, will be
held at 8:30 tonight. The talent
show, is the first part of the regu
lar Friday evening open house.
Entertainment for the show will
include an original poem by Claud
ine Biggs, palm reading by Dr.
tale, evolving business scandal,
love, conflict, and patriotism. It is
“The Small General,” by Robert
Standish.
D. G. Samuels, a piano solo by Jar.
Kok, and many others.
“These talent shows,” explained
Mrs. J. D. Bryant, hostess director
of Westminster house, “are held
once or twice a year to give some
a chance to perform, to give others
entertainment, but chiefly to give
the campus a chance to find out
who’s who.”
After the talent show there wilt
be dancing, games, and refresh
ments until midnight.
If any of the living organiza
tions on the campus have talent
that has not yet been put on the
program, there is still time to add,
it. Mrs. Bryant added.
