MORE ROOM.
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benches, which take up the first floor are out of date and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heretofore unpublished, except in the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.

Y. W. 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.
