One of the paramount needs of the campus at the present time is more assembly room. -At the two assemblies which have been held so far this year, a large number of students were unable to find seats and. Were forced to stand up in the rear. And yet there is enough room wasted in Villard to ac commodate at least two hundred more students. The old benches, which take up the first floor are out of date and should be supplanted by more comfortable and more useful seats. If individual chairs were provided in Villard, or at least more benches placed in the front of the hall, a large number of students could find a. place to sit if they did come to assemblies. The present benches in Villard are too large.and awk ward for the crowded condition of the hall. It may be pos sible in the future to hold the larger assemblies and student body meetings in the new Women’s building, which will help to give every student a place to sit if lie comes to assembly. The other alternative is to junk the old benches of Villard and to get some real assembly hall seats that can be more easily handled and that will fit into the corners and utilize every available square foot of floor space in the hall. The best advertisement to get the students out to as semblies is not the listing of an exceptional speaker, but rather insuring each and every Oregon man or woman that they will have some place to sit during the fifty minutes, more or less, that the assembly occupies. POWERS FINDS WORK OF JOAQUIN MILLER Extension Lecturer Uncovers Manuscript on Trip. On his trip to Eastern Oregon a few days ago, Alfred Powers, assistant direc tor of the extension division, discovered an old manuscript of Joaquin (Miller, en titled '‘A Royal Mountain Highway,’ heretofore unpublished, except in the Canyon City Blue Mountain Eagle. It was a letter addressed to the count} commissioners regarding the heavy brush along the highway which often caught ir the old stage rigs and smashed the lights but incidentally it contained a beautiful description of the Harney valley and the road between Canyon City and Burns The manuscript was yellow and dirty, and contained approximately fifteen hun dred words. It is without doubt a dis covery of literary value. Mr. Powers was accompanied by State Superintendent J. A. Churchill. J. K Brumbaugh of O. A. C. and IV. CJ. Beattie of the State. Normal school. Three dn.\ teacher’s institutes were held in Canyon City, Burns, and tl/ike View. The party touched at Crane, where a union hrgh school is located containing'thirty school districts in its territory, which makes it the largest one in the world. Irvin S. Cobb wan u speaker at the Burns in stitute. Mr. Powers found the people of east ern Oregon interested and favorably in clined towards the university and the ex tension work it is doing there.

LAYS PLANS FOR LARGER MEMBERSHIP Pledge System for Raising of Funds to Be Inaugurated During Year flans for launching the V. YV. C'. A. inmpaign were made at a meeting of the committee in charge at the Y. \V. bunga low Friday afternoon at 5:15. Vivian l'handler is chairman of the committee which is composed of a representative from each women’s organization on the campus. Tile campaign will begin Wednesday morning. Each member of the commit tee will attempt to pledge every girl in her house to membership, and girls will be stationed on the campus to reach those not living in organizations. It has been decided this year to raise the funds to cover the yearly budget through a system of pledged donations. Each girl who becomes a member of the Y. W. C. A. will pledge to give a certain sum to the Y. W. C. A. weekly, instead if paying the usual .$1.25 membership fee. This will eliminate the placing of a small tax upon members from time to time during the year, to meet the current expenses. A copy of the yearly budget will be printed and given to each girl with her membership card, and the new nlan is that the girls having looked over the budget, shall then decide upon the amount of her pledge for the ensuing year.
