WHAT BUILDING IS IT
TO BE ?
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.
