SCHOLARSHIPS GROW
Women Can Add to Present
Mary Spiller Scholarship if
$1 Is Paid by Everyone.
About June 1, the executive commit
tee of the state alumnae association will
choose the girl who is to hold the Mary
Spiller scholarship next year. This
scholarship, consisting of room and
board in Mary Spiller hall for one year,
is open to any girl graduate of an Ore
gon high school, unless she is a resident
of Lane county.
The committee consists of Mrs. ,T. H.
Gilbert, president of the association'
(Isolene Shaver, ’10), Mrs. J. F. Bo
vard (Camille Carroll, ’06), Mabel Kuy
kendall, ’10. and Mary McCornack, ’82.
“We try to choose the girl who, among
the various applicants, seems to have the
best mentality, the best health, and the
strongest character,” said Miss McCor
nack. “Th re are dozens to select from
each year.”
The furnishing of the fund for this
scholarship is, according to Miss Mc
Cornack, on§ of the fundamental aims
of the state alumnae, and is their
achievement to date toward the general
purpose of furthering higher education
among the young women of the state.
The state association is anxious for
more members to contribute the $1 dues
each year toward the scholarship, in or
der that the number of scholarships may
increase as rapidly as possible.
STHNDIN6 ROOM OFTEN
01 DEMAND IN UBBARY
Ten o’Olock Is Congested Hour;
Folding Chairs Are Latest
Additions. .
Standing room is in demand in the
library reading room during the 10
o’clock hour. Especially on Mondays,
according to Miss Margaret Upleger, re
ference librarian, as many as 20 people
are unable -to find seats, although not
| only the 140 chairs at the tables are
utilized, but the two built-in seats near
the door, and even the radiators, when
the heat is turned off.
i The latest attempt to relieve the con
gestion has been the importation of a
1 dozen folding chairs, which are stacked
against the wall in one corner to be
drawn upon as needed More students
■ have, too, been admitted to the stack
| room, and permitted to study at the ta
bles ordinarily reserved for the faculty.
This is all that can be done this year,
says M. H. Douglass, librarian.
I Possibly next year the bound periodi
' cals may be moved, also the newspapers,
to provide additional table room. This
| will mean, however, says Mr. Douglass,
' the expenditure of $7000 or $8000 in fin
ishing more stories of the stack room.
There is now no place to which the peri
odicals may be taken.
I “The real solution as I see it is to
provide other reading rooms besides the
library where students may use their
own books, and leave the library room
I for those doing reference work or using
reserve books,” said Mr. Douglass.
“Even if we put all the reading room
■pace in tablesfwe can provide for only
■ g small proportion of the student body.
I hope that in time the class rooms on
the upper floor of the building may be
| turned into a large reading room.”

Max Sylvius Handman, ’07. is instruc
tor in sociology at the University of

Before going to Misouri Mr. Handman

ish rabbis in New York. In 1910 he was
ordained as rabbi, and went to minister
among Jewish people in Texas.
While at Oregou he borrowed $50
from the student loan fund, and not un
til beginning of last year was he able
to make the last payment on the loan.
Ever since he left school and while he
was studying in New York he has had
to support his parents, whom he brought
to America from his home in Roumania
during the troubles in the Balkans.
In his senior year, Mr. Handman won
the Beekman prize of $100 for an ora
tion on the treatment of the Jewish peo
ple in Europe. ^

T0-K0-L0S10 DANCE
ill "RACEWAY” SOON
Decorations to Be ISt. Patrick
Effect; Whole Affair Fea
ture, Declares Sheehy.
Announcements for the To-Ko-Lo
dance are out. The “Raceway” is to be
the scene of the hop to be given by the
honorary sophomore society. The floor
of the platform has been repaired and is
now about ready for use.
“The floor has been planed and
smoothed and the platform has been en
larged," said Jimmie Sheehy, who has
charge of the arrangements. “With the
use of the platform as well as the ‘shack’
quite a good sized crowd can be ac
commodated.”
“Instead of giving the dance in the
gym as was intended at first we have
decided to give it in the open air,” he
said. “It will be quite a feature, I think,
and will help to draw a better crowd
than we could get if we had it inside in
some place like the gymnasium.”
It was originally intended that the
dance should be given in the form of a
special St. Patrick’s event. With the
change of plans the same arrangements
will still be carried out. The color scheme
will be in green, as befitting the day.
The decorations of the “Raceway” will
be Japanese lanterns strung around the
edges of the platform and on the walks
leading to it. There will be no special
features,” declares Sheehy, “the whole
dance w’ill be the big special feature.”
