Ebbighausen, Physics Professor, To Lecture on Universe Theory A lecture by Dr. E. G. Ebbi ghausen, associate professor of physics, entitled “A Theory of the Universe,” will be given at 8 p.m. tonight in 207 Chapman. Ebbighausen says the theory is one which has been advanced in the last decade. The theory says that the world process of element formation took place in about one half hour’s time. During that half hour all matter which was in a 14-620'» 544 13 E.

Explains Theory Since that explosion, Ebbighau sen said, little has occurred in the change of chemical formations, and very little is known of what constituted the chemical forma tions before the explosion took place. Ebbighausen was interviewed Tuesday afternoon on the subject of his lecture tonight. “The problem of physicists con cerned with this subject is to ex plain the distribution of matter in the universe,” said Ebbighausen, “and also to explain why the chem ical composition is so uniform.” Earth, Other Bodies Similar The theory of the explosion is said by some physicists to explain this uniformity and distribution. That the chemical composition of various parts of the universe are uniform is known; the earth is like the sun, meteorites, and interstellar matter. Ebbighausen concluded that the chemical composition looks very much as if it had a common origin. This common origin is explain ed in the fact that the explosion created planets and stars, and at the same time parts of the explod ing mass was distributed through the atmosphere. Date: 3 Billion B.C. The date of the explosion is estimated, said Ebbighausen, to be about 3 billion years ago. This esti mate is arrived at by examining collections of stars which are scattered about. These spirit nebu la, of which our sun and stars are included, are about the same size and are all going away from the earth. The farther away they are, the faster they are going and, ac cording to Ebbighausen, if it can be learned how fast and how far they have gone, then it can be seen when the explosion occured. It would appear, Ebbighausen said, that all matter in the universe started originally from one point. Dr. Ebbighausen in his lecture will explain how the theory origin ated and explain further how the theory conforms to what is al ready known about the composi tion of the elements. Countries Plan Foreign Study Fellowships and scholarships for study abroad during 1951-52 have been announced by the Institute of International Education, with Mar. 1 as the closing date for applica tions. Countries granting these fellow ships include Austria, England, France, Germany, Italy, Latin America, The Netherlands, Swed en, and Switzerland. Among requirements for the study grants are American citizen ship, holding of a bachelor's de gree, good academic record, and ability to read, write, and speak the language of the foreign coun try. Further information on these various foreign fellowships may be obtained in the office of J. D. Kline, associate director of student af fairs.

With square dancing increasing: in popularity throughout the coun try and with the report that near ly 1,000 students attend the square dancing sessions at OSC, Oregon students were asked their opin ion on the matter. “Do you think square dancing has a definite place in U of O ex tra-curricular activities?” was the question. For those interested the physical education department in cooperation with the SU board sponsors a square dancing class for beginnefb and advanced square dancers on Wednesday evenings beginning at 7:30 in the SU ball room. Fat Bellmer—sophomore in libe ral arts—“Yes! I do! Square danc ing is entertaining, gives an op portunity to increase your ac quaintances, and besides, it’s a lot of fun.” Jack Elliott—junior in liberal arts—“I think it would depend on the individual. I don’t care for square dancing myself but if an interest is shown, I think it would certainly be all light on this cam pus.” Connie Ohlsen—sophomore in languages—“I can't say it isn t a good idea. I think the attention that is given to beginners is a drawing card. I hope to go some day.” Dick Kcsson—freshman in archi tecture—“I don’t know. I’ve never had anything to do with square dancing. It would be all right for those who are interested.” Joan Skordahl—junior in history —“It seems to be such a fad and it’s so much fun. It’s something to do besides a movie or a coke date and it is such an up-and-coming activity. It provides an oppor tunity for students who don’t care for modern dancing to get together and to get to know each other.” Jerry Cacli—freshman in archi tecture—“I think it’s a good idea because it has a definite develop ment toward our western culture.” Bev Robathan—senior in psych ology—“We used to do it at San Diego and it was a huge success. We need some life on campus and it might bring some pep and spirit back.” Doug Clayton—rresnman in uue ral arts—“I don’t think so because it takes up too much time which could be used in other extra-cur ricular activities.” Joan Kappel—freshman in libe ral arts^—“Yes, I think it has a place but I don’t think too much emphasis should be placed on it. I don’t do it myself so I really can’t say too much.” Wallace Eakin—junior in liberal arts—“As far as I’m concerned it doesn’t have a place. As far as I can see there, are enough activities to keep things going and the church groups provide ample acti vities. It seems to be another thing to keep you from your stu dies.” Cleta Anderson—sophomore in liberal arts “Well, yes. It is com ing back and just now hitting the West Coast. It's a craze in Cali fornia and is being taught in every other community. It’s lots of fun.” Don Delaney—freshman in libe ral arts—“I think it’s a good idea because then if I ever have the op portunity, I'll know how.” Freshman Council To Meet Tonight The freshmen council will meet1 tonight at the SU from 8-9 p.m. I to complete discussion on the new ly-drawn up constitution. The room number for the meeting will be posted on the bulletin in the lobby. The constitution, which was drawn up by a group selected from the council, will be voted on in the various freshmen living organiza tions after the council has passed its final approval on it.

Athletic Committee To Lunch in Union The Athletic Advisery Commit tee, which discusses athletic poli cies as they affect the student, will hold a luncheon meeting at the Student Union today. Leo Harris, director of athletics, is chairman of the committee. Stu dent members include Barry Moun tain, ASUO president; Bill Harber, Inter-fraternity Council president; Anita Holmes, Emerald editor; Bill Clothier, Inter-dorm Council president; and Herb Nill, ASUO vice-president. The committee is purely advi sery in nature, Harris pointed S's(j? It’s a simple matter to be pop ular with everybody, says a pro fessor. Sure—just step out and in herit a million or two.
