Hi Will TEACH Former Student, Designer oT Portland Liberty Temple, to Handle Pen and Pencil Work. Succeeds Frederick Fritsch in Architecture and Art School. Clayton Baldwin, a formpr student and tbe new instructor in pen and pen cil in the school of architecture, design ed the Liberty Ternpie in Portland shortly before coming to the University to take the place of Professor Freder Jck Fritsch. The Liberty Temple is the most auspicious building in Portland today, standing as it does in the center «if sixth Btreet between the post office and the Portland hotel. It was built under the auspices of the third liberty loan campaign to be the headquarters t)f the workers. “All services on the Temple,” said Mr. Baldwin, “were donuted, even the labor. The building was put up in one day, the men working on it from seven o'clock one Sunday morning until nine o’clock that night. The fountain was running and the steam heat was turned on before the roof wus complete. Mr. Baldwin told many amusing instances that occured during the building. “One of the workmen,” he said, “who was putting in the floor bennis found himself, after a half hour, built in. The men above him worked so fast that they I found it necessary to rip up some of the flooring to let him free again.” The Temple is a frame building with 'plaster on the outside, forty feet by eighty feet and intended only for tem porary use. “The city,” said Mr. Baldwin, “is i planning on moving the building from [ its present site as the street space is needed. It will probably be placed on the Corbett block directly south of the post office.” DEBATE CLUB TO FORM; ALL CO-EDS ELIGIBLE Girls to Try University of Washington Method for Stimulating Interest in Forensics. All girls interested in debate and ora tory are urged to come to a meeting I in Professor Prescott’s room next Mon day afternoon at 4 p. m. At this time t an organization will be formed to which t every girl in the University is eligible. All that is necessary is an enthusiasm for either debate or oratory. Exper I ience in either of these two lines is not necessary. ! After the debate with the University of Washington last Monday night, it I was decided to try the plan that Wash 1 ington has for training her debaters. There they have two organizations of 1 girls, forty girls altogether, and these societies meet twice u month and have /"a regular time” as one Washington ! co-ed put it. They have informal arg lurnents which not. only benefit tile con testants to a very great extent in keep ’ing them in touch with the big move ment f>i the day but also gives them the experience necessary for arsity debate. If the different organizations on the •campus enter the co-ed doughnut league debating series for the shield which the | forsenic council is offering, this is an excellent opportunity for the girls who ! expect to enter from the different soc ieties to get some training before trying for the shield. But this society is not only for those girls in houses, for Ore I gon Club has just ns much chance to win that shield as anyone. Come out to the meeting Monday afternoon, girls.
