And this is what he did: Alderman W. W. Rosebraugh, who also has served the city long and faithfully, drew the chair manship of the parks committee, which had no duties because the park board administered the parks: and membership on the plumbing committee, which was defunct because of the new plumbing code embodied In the building code destroyed its func tions.

He ended the year with his lone, empty chairmanship. Alderman Chris Kowitx started the year as chairman of the afore said defunct plumbing committee, plus membership on the equally somnolent band committee; and the latter Job was all be had at the end of the year. Alderman Hal Patton was ehafnnan of the 'Committee on public buildings, which was far from being an active committee, and was a member of the fire sad water committee and the parks comittee which has already been discussed.

The other is a school in Iowa, which is run en tirely by the faculty members, students having no say, what ever, in their own student body government. Over 200 students attended the meeting, and prac tically all phases of campus life and student relations were dis cussed. The college's part in the world peace movement was also one of the most discussed problems at the conference, and It was shown that methods of attaining it rest largely with such student organ izations as the National Student Federation of America which is an outgrowth of an international federation organized in Paris several years ago. One of the pur poses of the international group ' the creation of a unity between universities and colleges of all nations, and International peace is expected to result from the movement. According to Mr. Mumford, the organization is ex periencing a rapid growth. Ray Lyman Wilbur, secretary of the interior and former presi dent of Stanford university, ad dressed the group twice although he remained at Washington. Fri day noon be spoke over a special radio hookup, and Saturday eve ning, In one of the features of the program, he spoke In a Fox Mo vietone newsreel filmed especial ly for the group. Many other noted men addressed the organ ization during the four days. Mumford says that Willamette is well known, especially along the coast, and its student govern ment i3 considered one of the best of the smaller colleges in the west. He found that California, in particular, holds a deep respect for Willamette and for Us gradu ates. " Among notable student s who attended the meeting were George T. Huber, of the Univer sity of Idaho, a recent Rhodes scholar, and T. A. Hlckur, inter collegiate Indoor and outdoor mile run record holder, of New York university. Two students from Japan and one from Canada were the foreign representatives. While in the south Mumford saw several former Willamette students, among them being Le land Chapln, who taught public speaking here last year, and who is at present taking a law eourse at Stanford and is teaching in the public speaking department, Louis Oberson, Ed Wells, Herbert Erlckson, son ot Dean F. M. Er- ickson, and Harold Mumford, all former students here. Mumford believes that by next January, when the next meeting will be held, Willamette will be a member of the Federation. irm-PBoiin BOSTON. Jan. 7. (AP) Ma jor General Clarence R.
