WOMEN’S REST ROOM READY “Only Outdoor Rest Room In Country,” Says Miss Cummings. The women's gym has established a new place to rest the weary bones after the worries of the day. Over in the new wing of the gym is the only outdoor rest-room in the country, to the know ledge of Miss Cummings, head of the physical training department. “Rest rooms are very common in every gym; that I have ever known, but this is the most attractive and healthful in my experience.” The room, which is on the east side of the building, is furnished with cots, pil , lows, and at present, Indian robes. Army "blankets have been ordered and will be here within a few days. The room is near the music building and the weary grind may rest to the accompaniment of some climbing genius reaching vainly for some coveted note. The members of the training depart ment are very anxious that the girls learn to use this room. Vote at Student Election Friday and NOVEMBER 7TH for E. 0.

BERKELEY DEAN IS COURIER OF HOPES C. L. Cory Tells Friendly Hall Men California Not j “Cocky.” | Says Athletics Are Essential in School Life; Likes Ore gon Spirit. “Fellows of the University of Ore gon, I come to you with ;i message,” said U. L. Cory, dean of the college of mechanics of the University of Califor nia, yesterday noon at Friendly hall. “California respects you and values your spirit. California respects your football team.” Mr. Cory is on leave of absence from his University and is touring the Unit ed States, visiting the state universities. Ths is hs first leave in twenty-four years. He will be absent until January. “I appreciate the splencid spirit which is being built up between our schools as the result of intercollegiate enterpris es”. said Mr. Cory. “The faculty at Cal ifornia appreciates it and the students feel the value of a closer relationship for our mutual good. I believe clean, honorable intercollegiate athletics nre as essential to the welfare of an education al institution as a whole and to the in dividuals as is mental broadening. I want to say, and I believe that everybody at the University of California is with me, that we are with you; we appreciate your spirit.” Mr. Cory will go from here to Seattle where he will visit the University of Washington. He spoke commendably of Eugene weather. He says it is better than California at this time of year. New Education Building Will Be Finished by Monday. Departments of Education and Law Will Occupy Second and Third Floor. The new education building will be finished by Monday and classes will probably enter their new quarters tfien, according to Professor E. F. Lawrence, dean of the school of architecture. Some of the rooms are already occupied, for the University high school has four ^ooms on the lower floor, where classes meet regularly. Space in the building will be occupied as follows: The extension department and the law department will occupy the third floor, where there are two large | rooms, three small rooms and eleven offices. ■ The education department will be given the entire second floor, on which are five rooms, four offices and an auditorium with a seating capacity of 123. The University high school will continue to occupy the first floor, where there are five class rooms and two offices. “The entrance pavilion faces east," said Professor Lawrence, “and, being of a unique design, is part of a plan to form an entrance way to the group of Univer sity buildings to be constructed in the future upon what is now Kincaid field. The next building will be erected just op posite the education building and the entrance to the next edifice will be an exact duplicate of that in the new build ing. A roadway will be made from Elev enth street south, and passing between the two buildings, will extend into the quadrangle on Kincaid. The similarity of the two pavilions will give the en trance way an attractive appearance.” The education building would have been completed earlier but for the delay occa sioned by the fan upon which depends the entire ventilation system of the building. The fan was due September 15, but when it arrived it had to be sent back and re placed by another of different size. The board walks, which run to the various entrances of the building will be replaced later by cement walks, while the lawn will be sown, as soon as the work men leave, with grass. The building without equipment cost $40,000. The architects are Lawrence and Holford, who have offices in Eugene and Portland. dOEINGJJLES UP Faculty to Take Action On Pro posed Plans. Student Council to Place Regu lations Before Body November 2. Following the tragic drowning of Owen Whallon in the Willamette river on April 30 of this year, the student council of the University adopted regulations in tended to cover the renting of canoes to all students of the University. On No vember 2, the next meeting of the faculty, these regulations will be placed before that body for consideration. That earlier action has not been taken by the student council was due to the fact, said Nicholas Jaureguy, president of the student body, that the council felt enforcement at this time would be un fair. “We planned on issuing a certificate to those who could meet the requirements of a swimming test,” said Jaureguy. “This ticket was to serve as a proof to the renter of the canoe that the holder was capable of taking care of himself in the water. But with the facilities for learning swimming which the University now has, -we felt that to enforce the rul ing would inflict a handicap which the students could not overcome.” The resolutions adopted by the stu | dent council at their meeting May 17 fol low: 1. Every student who goes canoeing i must be provided with a certificate at testing his ability to swim. 2. All canoes shall be off the river by dark. 3. The number of passengers in a ca noe shall be determined by the size of the canoe. 4. Shooting the rapids is prohibited. These resolutions were drawn up by a committee consisting of Karl Becke, Nicholas Jaureguy and Martha Beer. According to Ed Shockley all save a very small number of men in the Uni versity can swim. Whether or not they would be able to take care of themselves in the case of an accident on the race of course does not follow from that. A larger per ceiit of the girls than of the men cannot swim it is believed. Fewer girls learn t') swim after coming to the University than men, according to the gymnasium instructors. Other universities have even more stringent regulations 'concerning the use of boats and canoes than thosg proposed last semester, although the committee says that some criticism was heard to the effect that these were too strict. MANY CO-EDS WORK WAY One-Fourth of Girls Are Earning All or Part of Expenses. One fourth of the girls of the Univer sity are partly or wholly working their way through school according to Helen Brenton, head of the Practical Service committee of the Y. W. C. A. There is more work than there are girls to handle it. Last Sunday the wrork of this committee was announced in all the churches of Eugene and the aid of the congregations was solicited. The newspapers, members of Y. W. C. A. and faculty members are also helping to create a demand for labor. A great mapy of the Y. W. C. A. girls are working in order to make money enough to take them to the summer eonference at Seabeck, Washington. Every variety of work is done by the university girls and any one wishing to have mending, sewing, shorthand, steno graphy, house work, etc., performed will get very prompt and efficient service by applying to either Helen Brenton or Mrs. Onthank at the Bungalow. The Y. W. C. A. is anxolus that all girls desiring work will come to the Bungalow and fill out a card giving the kind of work they wish to do and their vacant hours. These cards are filed and ready for use at any time. BUILDING READY SOON Bad Weather and III Luck Has Caused Delay in Construction. The education building will be com pleted within the next few days with Phe : installation of the fan for the heuting j plant and the placing of the lockers. i The failure of a shipment of terra ! cotta to arrive on time is the principal 1 cause foro the^de^ny in' the"construction of the building. The fan which arrived i £his morning had been sent to Corval- ! lis by mistake. Ill luck continued when wrong parts were sent for the lockers; i due to interchange with another ship- j ment. Bud weather during the summer was strong factor in preventing work at full speed, declare these in charge, also, the impending strike and general business depression hindered the shipment of orders.
