Tentative plans for the University armory, which is to be completed by the time school opens' next fall, have been made. However, they hr.ye not yet been approved by the war department, which will be necessary as the University ex pects to make the new building of as much service to the country as possible. “The building is not being rushed at present as there seems to be no imme diate use for it,” said Mr. Onthank, j secretary to President Campbell. - The building will be an open air pa vilion, something on the order of the open air women's gymnasium, and will ' be located across the alley from the men’s gymnasium. One end of the build- i ing will be occupied with cloak and arms lockers. The location east of the men’s gym nasium is selected so that the men who drill will have access to the swimming tank and showers. The building will not be a square structure, but oblong, in order to have more floor space. PEP UP! Pep is the precious half of pepper. Some men and women are noted for their pep ! others for their pepper. The former use the fine temper which the latter lose and abuse. Pep means a steady foot on the throttle, and a spirit of get-there. Pepper means a racing engine and a slip ping clutch, which results in getting no where. The fellow with pep gets the pat of approval; the peppery fellow gets the snarl of defeat. In which category are you V—Exchange. ANOTHER KINO OF MEMORIAL.

Professor Prescott Urges Stu dent and Faculty Co-opera tion in Crisis. In ^gsponse to the imperative need for food in the present crisis, Robert W. Prescott, professor of public speaking, has outlined a plan which will, he be lieves, be practical for the students and faculty to adopt. “This war depends upon two things,” said Professor Prescott'in explaining his #lan. “It depends on military prepared ness and at the same time on an abund ant food supply. While the University is taking care of the martial side in military courses and compulsory drill, so far it has done nothing toward in creasing the production of foodstuffs.” It is Professor Prescott’s idea that the students and faculty organize groups to plant and cultivate sections of the University campus now used as golf links. Each fraternity and campus or ganization would, under this plan, be re sponsible for the planting and care of a given plot of ground until the end of the term. The groups might make arrange ments to have their plots tended during the summer, or the summer school stu dents and faculty could take up the work. Professor Prescott has not perfected the details of his plan. He has con sidered the advisability of contributing the profits from these gardens to the Red Cross society and believes this plan better than that of giving each organiza tion the products of its own work. “The plan can be made a success only by the spontaneous activity of the stu dents,” said Professor Prescott, “and I am merely making a suggestion to arouse in their minds the necessity and value of such an undertaking.” He thinks that everyone is willing and eager to do his “bit” toward the war, and the com bined amount which all the students nnd faculty will contribute would be consider able. The adoption of some such plan, Pro fessor Prescott believes, will have an other important result. It will have a favorable effect on the people of the state. They will realize that the Uni versity has seen the practical needs of the time and are rising to the occasion. The State University, he thinks, should be and is the leader and organizer of the people of the state, nnd that it should take prompt and positive action in the present food shortage. That the need for increased food pro duction is vital, becomes plain upon ref erence to a few pertinent statistics quoted by Professor Prescott. In 1914 America produced 10 bushels of wheat -prr—capita—r-rrd—nerd—six—bushels—prr capita. In 1915 the production was only six bushels per capita and the consump tion six and one-half bushels. This year, owing to retarded crops, it is estimated thut the production will be 40 per cent less than in 1915. “In the face of this fact, how can we supply the needs of our own country?" asked Professor Prescott. “Then add to that our obligation to the allies. Add to that the fact that one-half of what we send to Europe will be lost in transit. Add to that the consideration that if peace is declared within the year there will be the German millions destitute of food. These facts, it seems to me, make quick action imperative.” Professor Prescott submits his plan ns an outline for work. The details ban be changed as seem advisable later. The use of the University land, about thirty acres in all, is contingent upon the per mission of the regents of the University. ..... >. _ Appointment Bureau of Univer sity Has Many Calls. In 1916 Correspondence De partment Had 553 Students as Compared With 390. Increasing specialization is indicated in the calls for teachers received by the ap pointment bureau of the University dur ing the last year. The large majority of calls, however, continue to be for teach ers who can handle several different sub jects. During the year 30‘J positions in the state were filled through the bureau as compared with 210 in the preceding year and 95 in 1914. The growth of every phase of the ex tension work of the University is shown in the annual report recently made to President Campbell. I^ast year in the department of corre spondence study 553 students enrolled as compared with 390 in 1915 and 201 in 1909. Extension class work, organized in 1913 with an enrollment of 500, grew to 3908 in 1910. General lecture work was heard by 03.350 persons in 1914, and 73,411 in 1910. The debate league enjoyed last year the greatest growth since its organization by Professor E. E. DeCou in 1907, In its first year 28 high schools enrolled and in 1910 the enrollment was 72. Similar progress is indicated in the de partment of visual instruction in which motion pictures were added to the edu cational lantern slides last year for the first time. Twenty-four exhibitions of these educational movies were shown in 1910 to 5500 persons, while the slides were shown on 73 different occasions to 9125 persons ns compared with three ex hibitions to a total attendance of 175 in 1915. Community welfare, public and indus trial safety, surveys and investigations and publications likewise have shown progress. Gordon—<!&«».

Governor Withycombe to Pro vide Autos; Will Dine at the Penitentiary. The vocational guidance class, under the direction of Dean Elizabeth Fox, will go to Salem at 0 o’clock Monday, May 7, to visit the state institutions for the blind, deaf and dumb. They will re turn the same evening at (1.40. It is expected that 40 members of the class will go. Dean Fox expects that the class this semester will receive more benefit from the trip than the class which visited there last October, since it has had the advantage of having made a study of social conditions which the class of last semester had not done up to the time of their visit. G. G. Goodwin, secretary of the board of control, has written, outlining their program, which follows: Deaf school .„.10.00 A. M.
