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

tions. Change In Uncap

This committee was abolished
before the year ended, and Rose
braugh was not named on the
committee that took its place. 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

from being an active committee,
and was a member of the fire

parks comittee which has already
been discussed. Others of the in

who entered the council late in

not so noticeable as the general

Report Made by Willamette
Student President on
Return Here
Willamette university is one of
two schools represented at the
meeting of the National Federa
tion of America held January 1 to
4 at Palo Alto which prohibits
student dancing, reports William
Mumford, student body president,
who returned from the south
Monday night. 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.
