HE questioft as to what building will be constructed this year as the first unit of the greater Oregon made possible by the passage of the mill age bill is absorbing the attention ot most of the iac ulty and of some of the students as well. Each department head naturally thinks that his needs are the most urgent. He can point easily to his inadequate class rooms, to his own of lice, once used as a janitor’s closet for brooms and dust pans, lie feels he should have considera tion, which is certainly due him. We don’t deny that. But have any of the faculty asked the students through their official organization or in any I other way just what the students definitely want? When they do, they will find that the building the students want first of all is a recitation hall. The students are as tired of standing during lectures as are the faculty of shouting to make themselves heard in such a large room as Villard hall. At any rate, it is fun to watch the situation and to guess at the possible outcome. Now that (lie Springfield ritles have arrived for the K.O.T.C. we expect that many ol' the old “vets" will sign up for drill next fall Just for old time's sake. HACKYARDS Almost everyone will agree that the fraternity and sorority houses about the campus are in teresting if not beautiful. Front lawns have been kept in good shape, and the houses them selves rank as some of the best in the city of Eugene. But the occasional visitor who comes to the l diversity often times sees not only the front yards, but the back view as well. And it is safe to say that the back view is oftentimes not as imposing as that from the front, (larbage cans, piles of boxes, lawn mowers and other imple ments, as well as boxes of tin cans mar the outlook upon what would otherwise be a pleasant view. Lawns in the back are neglected quite often, and com bined with the other features is an unwelcome aspect of the cleanliness and wholesomeness suggested from the front. Probably som occupants of houses believe that their backyards are hidden from view. Such is not the ease, however, for several unclean h u-kv >v(i ; may be seen from the University campus itself, while the others may be observed by a short walk along some of the more promin ent thoroughfares, or by a trip down the millrace. With three or four posts coming from the Ad building and a wire every now and then from home, it won’t be long before some students find themselves “fenced” in. THE OREGON CLUB The re-organization of the Oregon Club is soon to be under taken, and it is hoped by those who have arranged for a meet ing of all interested, that all non fraternity men will turn out. It is to the interests of these men to band themselves together, not only for their own benefit, but for the benefit of the University itself. A closer union of men not be longing to campus organizations will alleviate much of the dis satisfaction that is current at times, and will tend to secure a much better representation of Oregon Club men in campus ac tivities. It is the duty of every non fraternity man to turn out to this meeting. The Oregon Club in the past has accomplished much, but for the last two years the club has been disorganized, and while every non-fraternity man has considered himself au tomatically a member of the body, little has been accom-. plished. Now that tho University has the funds for the erection of new build ings it is having difficulty in obtain ing brick. We may have to start a campaign among the brickyards yet. CHAMPIONS AGAIN This is a stellar year for the University in both debate and oratory. The men’s and women’s debating teams are champions. The men’s debating team won both the championshp of the Pa cific Coast tri-state league and the triangular international league and the women defeated both O.A.C. and the University of Washington. Coley won both the state oratorical contest as against eight other institutions and the tri-state oratorical con test last night against the Uni versity of Idaho and the Univer sity of Washington. Oregon Should be proud of her debaters and orators and every effort should be made to con tinue the good record next year and to keep up the work in doughnut debate also. MEN’S OREGON CLUB TO BE RE-ORGANIZED MEETING OF NON-FRATERNITY MEN CALLED FOR 7 P. M. THURSDAY AT Y. The men’s Oregon club is to be re organized before the end of the year, according to plans formulated by sev eral upperclass non-fraternity men, and a meeting of all men not living in fraternity houses or dormitories ! has been called for Thursday evening at seven in the Y.M. hut. Officers will be elected for next year, and a i constitution and policy arranged. The purpose of the re-organization is to secure the fair representation of non-fraternity men in campus activ ities, and to band the group together for their mutual benefit. Plans will be laid for the next year, when it is planned to make the Oregon club a1 real help to non-fraternity men who come to Oregon. The meeting will last only a short while Thursday evening, and all non fraternity men are urged to be pres ent. VARSITY QUARTETTE SINGS YALE “BOOLA” FOR TAFT j (Continued from page 1) attacks being made on our Constitu tion by some people, is the belief of Mr. Taft. He has too great a faith in the conservative loyalty and good common sense of the average Amer ican citizen. Let us do away with hysteria, was his plea, and continue in a sober, even course. i Complimenting the people of Oregon on their wisdom in voting for the mill age tax for higher education, Mr. Taft expressed a strong hope that all the rhoney would not go for bricks and mortar. He declared that unless a fair proportion of it went toward pay ing the instructors a living wage? the real purpose of the measure* would be defeated. For he declared that even more than material equipment, the training and ability of the instructors make for the greatness of a college. And he declared that university pro fessors everywhere have been under paid for so long that an alarming con dition exists in the teaching profes sion.
