They will divide the school into several groups. After the evening meal each day these groups will meet at various places on the campus for an hour or so of play.” In addition to the organized daily play there will be the customary summer school party, held early in the session either at the reception room of the dormitory or on the lawn in front of the President’s house.

BUILDING TO BECINJN JUNE $175,000 ADDITION TO UNI VERSITY EQUIPMENT UNDER WAY WILL CHANGE WHOLE CAMPUS Big $100,000 Administra tion Structure Together With Additions and Changes in Library. Tangible action for the repairs to the Dormitory, Deady Hall, Library and Heating plant, for which $75,000 was appropriated by the 1913 legis lature and sustained by the voters of the state at the referendum election last November, was taken this week when bids were advertised for by L. H. Johnson, University Steward. The bids will bo opened by the Executive Committee of the Board of Regents on June 15 and the contract will probably be 1st at that time. The bids for the construction of the $'100,000 Administration build ing will be advertised for June 25 and the bids will be let about the middle of July. Actual construction is expected to take place shortly aft er the bids are opened. Largest Repairs for Library. The largest repairs, in point of cost, will be those made to the Libra ry building, for which $30,000 has been appropriated. Besides building an addition on the west end of the building, fireproof steel book stacks, sufficient to accommodate 75,000 books, will be installed. The plans for the book stacks have already been decided upon. On Deady Hall, the oldest building on the campus, $10,000 will be ex pended. The money will be used in rearrangement of rooms and the in stallation of laboratory equipment. The installation of running hot and cold water in every room will be the feature of the improvements on the Dormitory, for which $1 0,000 has been assigned. An addition will also be made on the west end in order that more students may be accommo dated. Another $10,000 will be spent in extending and otherwise improving the University heating plant. Many of the main conduits will be dug up and repaired. These conduits are now leaking, resulting in a great loss of heat. New pipes will also be laid to President Campbell’s residence and to Mary Spiller Hall. Will Prepare for Architecture. The remaining $15,000 of the ap propriations will be used In repair ing and improving the University power house in order that it may be suited to the purposes of the new Department of Architecture that is to be opened next Fall. Tentative plans for the Adminis tration building have been drawn up by W. C. Knighton, State Architect, and will be submitted to the Board of Regents for their approval or dis approval at the June meeting. According to these plans, the new building will consist of two stories and a basement.. The first floor will be given over to a lecture hall, large enough to accommodate 300 people, the University Museum anti various offices. The lecture hall will be sim ilar to a small theatre. A full size stage will be constructed, footlights Installed and an orchestra pit built. This room will be used as a lecture hall and as a place for holding de bates, class meetings and plays. Now Building Will Have Class. The entire second floor of the building will be used by the admin istration offices. The plans provide for a lobby, 50 feet square, with the different administration offices fac ing it. On the west end will be lo cated the private office of the presl (Continued on page four.) PSYCHOLOGY DEPARTMENT ADDS TWO NEW COURSES Dr. Rebec Will Also Take Over Classes in Phil osophy Two new courses will be added to the psychology department next year. One is a two-hour course the first semester in the Psychology of Attention under Dr. D. K. Dollen bach; the other is in Applied Psy chology, a two-hour course the first semester under Dr. E. S. Conklin. Dr. Dollenbach has made especial study of Attention and, according to Dr. Conklin, is well fitted to teach this course because of his research and experimental work in this sub ject. The course in Applied Psychology deals with the psychology of adver tising, salesmanship and commerce purely from the psychologist’s point of view with no attempt to deal with the business side of it. Philosophy, which has hitherto been taught by Dr. Conklin, will next year be upder Dr. George Rebec, the professor of philosophy, whose work this year has been mainly with the extension department. The course in philosophy will probably be a two limit’ Aim STUDENT BODY DEFICIT IS REDUCED TO $1,500 Treasurer A. R. Tiffany Is Elected Graduate Manager Starting this year with a $2500 'deficit, Graduate Manager Walker turned $1000 into the student body treasury and thereby reduced the to tal student body debt to $1500 ac cording to his report of the year which was turned in to the executive committee last night. At the meeting of the Executive and Athletic Committees held last night, A. R. Tiffany, present treasurer of the student body, was elected as graduate manager for the following college year. This will necessitate somewhat of a change in the graduate manager system, as the coaches will handle the schedules and trips for the va rious teams. Also student managers will be used. The official emblems for baseball, track and tennis were awarded last night. Those receiving the “0” in baseball for the season are Captain Fenton, Welch, Tuerek, Motsclien bacher, Nelson, Cornell, C. Bigbee, Anunsen, Bryant and M. Bigbee. In track emblems were awarded to Ixmcks, McConnell, Stnller, Parsons, Boylen, Telford, Cook, Nelson, Hei deurioh, Fee, ilamstreet and Payne. In tennis Captain Brooks, Oberteuf fer and Bond were the three men to receive letters. Beta Theta PI entertained with a picnic on Sunday. Between fifty and sixty guests' were present. J. A. Moore of Ashland was a guest of his brother Victor at the lota Chi house on Sunday. Mr. Casad of Pullman was a din ner guest Monday at the Alpha Tau Omega house. Merlin Batley and Vernon Garre.tt were dinner guests Saturday even ing at the Kappa Alpha Theta house. Dr. James Barnett and Hugo Bez dek took dinner Wednesday evening at the lota Chi house. One hundred and one fellowships have been awarded students at the University of Chicago. These schol arships yield tuition in amounts up to *4(10. A piona recital will be given by Lloyd Casebeer, a student in the Uni versity School of Music, on Satur day evening June 6, at 8:00, in Vil lard Hall. OREGON BATS 2 VICTORIES CONSISTENT HITTING GETS ALL N. W. PENNANT FOR VARSIT Y CARSON BIGBEE IS SENSATION Freshman Leads Team in All Departments. Motsie Has Clean Fielding Slate. Whole Nine Plays Gilt Edge Ball. (Willard Shaver) Consistent hitting and airtight support figured conspicuously in landing for the lemon yellow a clear title to the college conference rag of the Northwest for the season of 1914. The Oregon men have hit a pace that is hard to beat and had they been as perfect in the Washington games that were plaved on the local' campus as they are perfect now it is pretty safe to say that they would have gone through the season with out a loss. But eight wins out of ten games played is a record that will likely stand in conference circles for some years to come. Itiglveo Gets Individual Honors. Coach Bezdek's men have been consistent in I itting when hits were needed and almost any man on the Oregon team has been responsible for causing the downfall of opposing pitchers but it remained for Skeet Uigbee to eop almost all the individ ual honors in the championship con tests. The youngest Bigbee that Oregon boasts of not only leads the batting list but also has had more passes issued to him, got more long hits and stole more bases than any other man on the Oregon nine. He has also handled more chances than any other infielder and made fewer errors. The box scores indicate that the diminutive Freshmmi is Coach Uezdek’s ifesTimt. Motsid Also Has Record. Motschenbacher has also made an enviable record in the eight games In which he has figured, for he has batted fourth, very few stolen bases have been made off him and he has the only perfect fielding average In the Oregon lineup. The complete batting averages for the conference games including the last two with the Pullmanites have been compiled by Bothwell Avlson and are given below: AB. H. P. C. R. C. Bigbee.33 11 .333 9 Fenton .38 12 .316 Annunsen .39 12 .307 Motschenbacher . .28 8 .286 Nelson . 38 10 .263 Bryant .39 10 .256 8 M. Bigbee .32 6 .187 6 Cornell .40 7 .175 L. Bigbee . 6 1 .166 Welch .13 2 .153 Tuerck .15 2 .133 Llewellyn .10 1 .100 82 61 These totals show an average of eight hits and six runs per game, an average that shows better than any thing else why Oregon has won the championship. e it took but two of the three games scheduled with W. S. C. to give to Oregon the first Northwest champ ionship in baseball that it has cop ped since the formation of the six college conference. Welch, the hero of the first game, had Bender’s near champions guess ing at all stages of the game and should have scored a shut-out but for the infield error in handling Casad's grounder in the seventh w hen Casad reached first, was sent to third on Davis’ and Hartman’s outs and scored on Welch’s wild pitch. This was Pullman’s only score and (Continued on page four.)
