for improving entrances to Eugene
and the waterfront area.
", . . But it isn't up to me,” he
explained, "to say what can be
done.”
The Eugene city council alone
can put the bonds up for sale.
Money from the bond issue,
some senators thought, might be
used for Millrace park. They be
lieved that little could be done to
improve the race from the head
culvert under Franklni boulevard.
They suggested water in the upper
r ace could be speeded up by open
ing the overflow gate, located just
above the top culvert under Frank
lin, and returned it to the Willam
ette at that point.
The senate took no formal ac
tion following the report a mo
tion to request the council to sell
the bonds being withdrawn. They
were to assemble present Millrace
park plans into a program to pre
sent to the council at a later date.

Flunks Driving Test
Without Trouble
OMAHA, Neb. (U.R) — Edwin
Forte, 37, didn’t make much im
pression on workers at the police
auto testing station here.
Attendants said Forte drove into
the station at high speed, ran
^trough a stop sign at the entrance
and smashed into the brake test
ing machine before stopping his
car.
Forte was fined $10 and costs
for reckless driving. His car still
hadn’t been tested.
License Plates Tempt
Cow's Sweet Tooth
WESTON, W. Va. - (U.R) - A
Lewis County farmer has an idea
that West Virginia's new a temp
orary license plates have too much
sweetening in them.
The farmer reported to the state
motor vehicle department that one
of his cows had eaten his plates
while his car was parked overnight
in a pasture.
The plates, first issued this year
under the state's new motor vehi
cle code, are made of cardboard.

Transfers Prevail Among Grads
Two-thirds of the 100 graduate
students enrolled in the University
full term did their undergraduate
work at institutions other than the
University, according to statistics
released this week by Dean Eldon
L. Johnson, head of the college
of liberal arts and the graduate
school.
More than half of the graduate
students were from outside the
btate. Thirty-eight states and 13
foreign countries are represented.
Most of the graduate students
come from the immediately ad
jacent states of California, Wash
ington and Idaho. Next to these
states, the analysis showed that
tlir population centers of Illinois.
Michigan and New York ranked
next.
A break-down of the total fig
ure 490 showed that the number of
bachelor's degrees from the Uni
versity was 166 while the number
from the state of Oregon was 238.
Chief out-of-state sources, ranked
In order, are: California, Washing
ton, Idaho, Colorado, Illinois, Min
nesota, Michigan, Iowa and Ne
braska.
The study excluded all students
with graduate standing who are
still working toward the first pro
fessional degree.
'The Unconscious Scholar' or
Don't Let College Get You Down
By Ann Moyes
As we stroll across tlie campus,
friends look at us and say, "She
hasn’t let college get her down.
She still has the carefree attitude
and the blank stare of a high
school kid”.
It has been our habit to observe
with amusement the mistakes that
other students make at college.
The time has come, however, to
set people right. The valuable
secrets which show the layman
how to study without being aware
of it are compiled in the following
work, which shall be called "How
to be an Unconscious Scholar”.
I he assignment is important
enough to be considered first. An
assignment is a dull, repulsive dose
of work that is "due Monday”. It
is an unbearable chore that adul
terates a student's free time.
I»one Mechanically
The task, if performed at all, is
done mechanically; the prescribed
number of pages are read, each
word is gazed at dutifully. Then
'he student closes his book and is
at a loss to remember what text
he has been balancing on his knee.
The method of avoiding pain and
■stress of assignments is simple
and almost magic, though at first
glance it may seem to be sheer
lunacy. Merely keep yourself one
or two chapters in advance of the
class. Studying ahead is pioneer
ing; venturing into new territory
where you notice the landmarks
simply because you haven't been
told to look at them.
You are your own boss, strolling
easily through the book, just far
enough ahead of compulsion to be
comfortable and receptive. You are
eading the class, with exams, at
least.
Don’t Torture Yourself
The second secret involves clo
watching. This is where 98
cent of the students torture th<
selves needlessly. They com
wall clock and wristwatch, c
yinced that one timepiece is a di
lair. Quarter after, and it must
time for the bell.
You must ignore all timepiet
Bear in mind that knowing w
time it is will not make a per
shorter, but not knowing will. T
has worked so well for me tha
have not been conscious of a cl
for several months. I am seriou
considering asking for a tuition
fund.
Scheduling of classes should
mentioned here. Line up your s
jects so you are booked solid fi
8 a.m. until 11 a.m. At at
11.15 when you are just wak
up and ready to enjoy the day
suddenly realize the worst par
it is over. It's really a great f
mg.
Another major topic the ambi
tious young loafer must think
about is carrying books. Yes,
those texts and notebooks with
which you insist upon weighting
yourself down. It is absolutely un
necessary to bring books to most
nIa8» meetings, in spite of this
faet, students continue to travel
at half speed with an idiotic over
load.
This is a throwback to grade
school, when the teacher said, “Be
sure to bring your primers every
day, children, because we will be
reading aloud in class, all about
John and Nancy and their father
and mother and their dog and cat
and we don’t want to miss a word
of it do we? Also, the school owns
these primers, and we don't want
to be charged two dollars when we
show up wihtout one. do we?"
Just a Sheet of Paper
In regard to notebooks, I can
°nh give you a solution that
should have been apparent long be
fore this. A single sheet of paper
for each class will suffice. These
may be carried in pocket or purse
and put into a notebook as they
are filled. You will be in twenty
four hour possession of live notes
with which yon are currently con
cerned. Suppose you are near the
library sometime during the week
end and happen to remember a
reference book you should get. If
you were an average notebook
wn.iwV*16 nfU11° of the v°iume
would be at home. You are a true
loafer, however, so the vital notes

Astromers to Take
Closer Look at Sun
BERKELEY, Calif.-(U.fi)-Astron
omers will be able soon to take a
close look at the sun through pow
. ‘J. lnstruments that can create
artificial eclipses.
Dr. Walter Orr Roberts of the
University of Colorado said in a
lecture at the University of Cali
forma here that an instnunent
called a coronograph can cause a
man-made eclipse by cutting off
the bright light from the sun so
its ounter atmosphere can be seen
in detail.
Roberts said scientists would
study with the coronograph the
northern lights.- which are be
lieved to originate from streams
of particles, protons and electrons
from the sun.
Scientists also would study solar
radio static that is often strong
enough to upset radio reception.
Thief Scorns Judge
FORT WORTH, Tex. (UR) --
Things aren't even safe in a
