Several buildings are being rushed to completion to accomodate the increased number of students. Six'different pieces of work, in addi tion to the Women’s building, are under I'onstrmition; the second unit of the women’s dormitory, a new commerce building, new buildings for the School of Education and University high school, remodeling of the open air gymnasium to I house a part of the School of Journal ism, and a post office building just south of Johnson Hall. 150 Men at Work. • One hundred and fifty artisans arc en gaged at present in the building work on the campus, which has reached a total value of $655,000.

With the foundation of the School of Commerce completed, work is well under way on this three-story structure be tween the library and the School of Edu cation. The building is to be a dupli cate of Oregon Hall, 110 by 00 feet, and is to cost $100,000. It will include 14 classrooms and 14 offices .and will prob ably be completed by March. New Education Group. The new home of the School of Edu cation and the University high school on Kincaid street south of the campus are each to be one-story frame structures, brick veneered.

This year we can justify the increased responsibility placed upon us all by continuing to work for “Greater Oregon” by maintaining the highest stand ard of scholarship and of University ideals. There are now twelve schools or major divisions in the Uni versity. The enrollment this fall will certainly reach at least two thousand. With this growth in size and diversity of work there is danger that the University will lose the close com munity spirit which lias always characterized it. By conscious striving against this tendency to segregate into groups, 1 am sure that this fine old friendly cooperation can be maintained. This is the year, it seems to me, to carry forward the work studied by student committees for several years, namely that of student self-government. A self-government based on mu tual confidence, mutual respect and mutual effort in achieving the highest type of University life, and representing every fac tor in the University community, student and faculty alike, will round out splendidly the organization and life in the Un iversity. My greetings go to all Oregon students, new and old. This will be the finest year in the history of the University and we lire glad that you are to be a part of it. P. L. CAMPBELL. 25 FRESHMEN OUT FOR 1924 ELEVEN “Ken” Bartlett to be Mentor of Infant Football.

Atlantic Coast, Middle Wes1 and South Represented One of tlie most remarkable things about the registration of students at the I uiversify this year, according to Mrs. George Pitch, of the registrar's office, is the number of students enrolling from other states in the union. New York, Maine, Florida and other states from the eastern coast are- represented. Afcci Louisiana, in the south, and Iowa. Kan sas, Nebraska, Mississippi, and tlllinob in the middle west. Many arc enrolled from the nearby states of Washington, Idaho and California. Approximately 100 students are com ing to Oregon this year with advanced standing from other colleges. This is « gain of about 33 1-3 per cent over that of last year, Mrs. Fitch states. The registration for Tuesday up to four o’clock numbered 083 people, this being a gain of lOo over that of the sec ond day o registration last year. Mon day the registration was normal, only 330 turning in their cards compared to the 331 of the first day of the fall term last year. It is expected by Mrs. Fitch that there will be an enrollment of 3000 by the last of October and of 3500 for the whole year.

"Now is the time to gain a. momentum that will carry us through the entire year and arouse and enthuse the new students with that college spirit and loyalty that is an in tegral part of every man and woman at Oregon. “IVe are at the threshold of what will undoubtedly be the banner year of the University. With the Miliage lull safely passed and indications of the largest en rollment in the history of the college, it is now 'up to the student body and espe cially the incoming class to take holdl and show a spirit of co-operation with the student body officers and endeavor to make this a memorable year for student body affairs at Oreglon.

A number of corrections in the social calendar for the coming school year have been announced by Elizabeth Pox, dean jf women. In a number of places throughout the schedule as given in the students’ handbook, a new publication this year, dates are given as being open ior “student body dances.” This should have read for “student organization af fairs” rather than student dances. .

Campus Piggers Face New Rival In “Eyron Mike” * Hey there. you champion piggers I here’s a fellow on the campus now wht has kissed more co-eds in the past t\v< days than there are bricks in the Wo moil’s huilding.” Startling as this statement may seem it is the truth. Both the dean of wotnei aud the dean of men are -awave of tin fact but each evinces complete sanetioi of this remarkable state of affairs. Eacl hour his list of fair and friendly lips grows longer. Each minute some mat wishes he could get away with sucl “democracy.” ' “Who is he?" Why he's Eyron Mike a left-over from the class of 1920, prom inent prohibitionist, member of Bubbh Bubble Bubble, and a newly installec member of the National Order o: ’Tween Class Meetings Places. He ar rived on the campus during the smnmei and is permanently located sit his pres ent stand1 in front of the library steps. When the class of ’20 wins on the vergi of departure from the University, they decided to leave behind them somethin? which would be constantly in contae with the students as a reminder of then great and noble class. Unlike the class of '10, they decided upon something that could be used by frosh and senior alike Mike was the logical one far the place so he was chosen. Whether or not his cooling touch wil prove a successful counter-attraction foi the library steps remains yet to be seen bat, as Big Ben says, “Time will tell i you listen to it.’’ Pi Beta Phi Second—Womei Ahead in Scholarship. Sigma Delta Phi and Pi Beta Phi hole the same place at the head of the gradi bulletin far the spring term of last yeai that they held for the winter term. !Fiv< of the six women’s fraternities that headed the list of house grades for the winter term retain that place. Friendly Hall by holding its w’intei average of 3.20 crowded the Alpha Deltt Pi 'Ou t from among the ‘leading six.

The following letter is typi cal of those mailed, though the answer is unique. The letter was addressed to a “Mr. Browning Purdin”: Dear Purdin: I understand that you are to come to the University this fall, and I want to know you. Maybe you’ll come here a perfect stranger y.vut it doesn’t take long to get acquainted. Everyone is friendly and we want you to act on that idea. I live at Friendly Hall on the ground floor. Come in via the window—it’s nearest. We’ll manuge to supply you with a dresser or table or maybe a trunk to hang your feet from and we’ll have a talk that will make you think you're in your own back yard. Possibly we wont like each other but I promise not to kick you out the first time anyhow. Climb in. ELMER PEN DELL. The answer was as follows: Dear Pcndell: Your letter i-eceivcd and I thank you for your courtesy. I appreciate your friendly spirit immensely and regret that, two reasons prohibit my accepting your hospitality; one being that I hare beep forced to change my plans and will lie unable to enter the University this fall, and the other,-I believe that it is not deemed proper by the authorities for young ladies to call at the men’s dor mi - tory and perch themselves upon trunks or tobies and imbibe tin tuanly con versation and much smoke. 1 Alas, ’tis not for us of the weaker sex,-but what could be more thrilling. I assure you again, that if it wore possible I would surely accept your hos pitality. My parents held no particular grudge, just luu insane inspection prompted them to handicap me through .life with a name like mine. Think nothing of your error; everyone makes the same mistake and I regard it as a huge joke. If you ever come south drop in at the bank. While we have no trunks we have plenty of tables and stools to sit upon. Wishing you a successful year at the University and thanking you again for your friendliness, I am ”1 Yours sincerely, ' MISS Browning Pur din.
