Communities seeking these lectures
are expected to see that the audience

MODEL PAPER QUEST
Professor Allen Completes Search
for Country Publications for
Use as Texts
Professor Eric W. Allen, of the
University of Oregon Journalism De
partment, has undertaken an inves
tigation for the benefit of his Jour
nalism classes, and for others inter
ested in journalistic work. Professor
Allen recently visited a number of
the largest schools pf journalism in
the United States, and noticed that
each school used a number of metro
politan newspapers as text-books, as
illlustrative material, and as models
for the students.
In discussing these papers, how
ever, it was suggested that “the met
ropolitan paper is only half the sto
ry.” Many, of the graduate journal
ists wish to start business in a loca
tion where they can own their own
papers/necessitating the use of coun
try as. well as city newspapers in
undergraduate work: **•>•. ■ *
uXorfpUUL this need, the best of the
country papers had’to be placed in
the class rooms. .. The better a coun
try weekly is, the more closely it is
bound *o its own community* and the
less ,apt< ite is to circulate, outside of
the immediate circle of residents and
former residents of a place.
Professor Allen set to -work to lo
cate high standard country newspa
pers, scattered over 48 states, r As the
first step in undertaking this, a ques
tionairre was jsent to 400 leading
newspaper editors inv the United
States* asking them to suggest any
paper they thought a creditable rep
resentative of the country press.
Answers were received from nearly
all the editors questioned. A major
ity of them mentioned specific coun
try papers, others could not answer,
and some argued that there are no
country papers worthy of commen
dation.
When these answers had been re
ceived a second questionairre was
sent to each of the country editors
who had been favorably mentioned in
the answers to the original question
airre. These also brought replies in
almost every instance.
Papers in the following states re
plied to Professor Allen’s inquiry:
Arkansas, California, District of Co
lumbia. Iowa, Kansas, Georgia, Indi
ana, Kentucky, Louisiana0. Maine,
Massachusetts, Missouri,® Nebraska^
New York, orth Carolina, Ohio, Or
egon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota,
Texas, Washington and Wisconsin
An example of the many answers
sent in is one from the “Indianapolis
News,” Indianapolis, Iind:
“Just returned from a vacation and
found your letter in regard to the
best country paper. I think the Leb
anon Pioneer is an excellent country
weekly paper, and as far as live lo
cal news is concerned, can think of
| none better at present. The Patriot,
| of the same town, is also a good
weekly paper.”
When you see a pennant, think of
1 “The Varsity.”

MUCH-NEEDED REPAIRS
ARE ALMOST FINISHED
(Concluded from page 1.)
.The south end will be partitioned into
multigraph mg rooms, a postoffice and
telephone booths.
The Administration Building will
cost $100,000.00. The money for its
construction was granted by the 1913
Legislature and sustained by £he vot
ers of the state at. the special elec
tion in November, 1913, by a two to
one vote. It will be ready for occu-j
pancy by next June.
In addition to the Administration
Building, $75,000 repairs have been
made on various University buildings
during the past few months.
Deady Hall, the historic structure
of the University, has been greatly
remodeled and altered in the interior.
The old, winding stairs, which former
ly stood at each end of the building,
have been torn down and in their stead
new stairs have been constructed. The
entire interior has been repainted and
a hallway extended through the build
ing on the second floor.
A wing is being built on the west
end of the Library. The new addition
will be five stories in height and will
be used as a stack room for the 50,000
books which constitute the Universi
ty library. The equipment of the
stack room will include steel, fire
proof book stacks, sufficient to accom
modate 125,000 volumes. The section
of the Library building now being
used as a stack room will be devoted
to study tables for students. For sev
eral years past, there have not been
enough tables to accommodate all stu
dents, and this feature will be greatly
welcomed. •
An east wing has been added to the
Men’s Dormitory, giving increased
dining room facilities and furnishing
quarters for the matron and other em
ployees. Hot and cold water have also
been installed into every room in the
building.
The new Architectural building,
east, which is being constructed for
the use. of the newly-installed Depart
ment of Architecture, will be ready for
occupancy in a few days. The build
ing is. a duplicate of the old Electri
cal Engineering building, which is now
known as Architectural buildig, west.
It is a two-story structure, built of
brick, and is connected with Architec
tural building, west, by a one-story
building. The building contains five
large class rooms, several offices and
laboratories, and a large, well-lighted
drafting room. Practically the entire
building will be used by the Depart
ment of Architecture. ,
Work has already begun on the re
pairs and extensions to the University
heating plant. Leaky mains are being
taken out and new ones installed. New
mains are being laid to the President’s
Home and to the site of the new Ad
ministration building. The first unit
of the tunnel system, which in time
will be used to carry all -of the steam
mains and wires of the University, is
also being built.
The new buildings will be a boon to
a number of professors who are now
experiencing difficulty in finding room
in which to hold their classes. Rooms
in the basement have been pressed into
service, while some professors have
no class room of their own, but are
compelled to use those of other pro
fessors.

The Freshman eyed his green

with a sigh so lengthy that it ap

“It is nothing but a crudified exi

from the germ of the animal refriger

And he still lives.

WORK FOR STUDENTS

of these jobs were not regular, Koyl
knows of $2,300.56 that has been
turned into the hands of University
students through these jobs. In ad
dition, $502.05 was saved the students
through the Y. M. C. A. book ex
change.
This year 69 jobs have been found
for University men. Thirty-one of
these positions are permanent. Thir
ty fraternity men are known to be
working their way through the Uni
versity this year.
The permanent jobs are principally
such work as caring for lawns or fur
naces, dish washing and waiting on
tables, in payment for board and
room. Other work that students find
to do is wood piling, stenography,
bookkeeping, laundry and clothes
pressing agencies, janitor work, col
lecting, and writing for newspapers.
Sixty per cent of the University
Student Body paid all or part of their
college expenses by working last year.
Several plans for opening up larger
fields of, industry for University stu
dents have been made. One is that
th University employ students for
campus work instead of outsiders.
Koyl also, intends to co-operate with
the Eugene Commercial Club in an ef
fort to bring factories to Eugene that
might employ University men.
Members of the Y. M. take an ac
tive interest in the organization. Or
egon men attend state Y.;M. C..A. con
ferences; 66 men did committee' work
last year, and eight held evangelistic
services at, Cottage Grove. Two hun
dred and eight men, or 56 per cent of
all the University men, were members
of the Y. M. C. A. last year. ,
Sex lectures, Bible study, weekly
religious meetings; lecture courses,
and social gatherings', are part of the
program carried out by the Y. M.
