CAMPBELL HALL TO BE
READY BY FEBRUARY 1
Interior Finishing Still to be Done; New
Dormitory Not to Have Din
ing Room.
Susan Campbell hall, the new woman's
, dormitory now under process of con
struction, will probably be ready tor oc
cupancy the- first of February, accord
ing to W. K, Newell, superintendent of
construction. There is a great deal of
inside finishing to be done, and furniture
to be installed.
This new hall of residence is to be al
most identical with Hendricks hall, ex
cept that there will be no dining room.
It has not been decided as yet just where
(the girls who live there will eat, but ar
rangements are to be made for this later.
The rooms are arranged in units, with
suits of three rooms, each to accommo
date (wo to four girrls. This plan has
been worked out very successfully in
Hendricks hall, as it provk^es for the
i greatest comfort to the largest number
of girls.
An added feature of the new dormi
tory is a recreation room, which is to be
in the basement under the drawing room.
There is to be a fireplace in the room, a
piano, and hardwood floors so that the
girls may dance.

Members To Be Chosen from
“Mikado” Cast.
The University id to have a permanent
opera company on the campus. The com
pany, which is to be chosen' fri&n the
“Mikado,” will organize and in time will
form another musical activity entirely i
separate from the two glee clubs It Will
have a much larger membership than
they will and present greater opportu
nities to a large number of students who
are musically inclined.
The opera company, combined with the
public speaking department will present
as its first number “The Mikado” by ■
Gilbert and Sullivan, March 8 to 12 in
clusive. Such a long run necessitates
understudies for every part, thus, dou
bling the chances of obtaining a part.
Madame Rose McGrew and Professor
Fergus Reddie will take the part of
“Katishaw” and “Koko” respectively.
The other principals have not yet been
chosen.
“I am anticipating with pleasure the
roll of “Katishaw,” Bays Madame Mc
Grew. “It is such a marked change from
the parts which I have taken in the
past” Madame McGrew has appeared
in productions practically all over the
world.
Further tryouts for positions in the
chorus will take place In Madame Mc
Grew’s studio on Wednesday at 5:00.
There are a number of vacancies still to
be filled, especially of men’s voices.
Madame McGrew urges everyone who is
interested to try out, first to support the
new activity, and second because it is an
opportunity to develop one’s voice and
learn really worth while music.

imiVlRSITY EMPLOYS
OVER 100 STUDENTS
Work Varied and Irregular; Average
Rate Paid Forty Cents
An Hour.
Over $2250 a month is being paid by
the University to from one hundred io
one hundred twenty students in various
departments and classes. There are
twelve post-grads on the. regular pay
roll. The other students are on the ir
regular payroll, which meaus that they
are being paid at a fixed rate by the
hour.
The prevailing rate for most kinds of
work is forty cents an hour, although
some of the office help and assistant in
structors receive fifty and sixty cents.
The average amount earned per month
by the regular workers is $25.00.
There are also students not on the reg
ular payroll who are earning board and
room in the dormitories. At present
there are only two students on the
grounds’ staff, but later, when lawns are
to be made around the new buildings,
more will be employed. In case of a
heavy snowfall, Mr. Hanna, who is in
charge of the grounds, says he will em
ploy as many students as are willing to
work.
Every department of the University
employs some students. A great diver
sity of student labor is represented by
that $2250 monthly payroll. Gardening,
correcting papers, waxing floors, rnrry
ing messages, typing, and instructing in
boxing, biology, and bookkeeping are
some of the ways students are earning
their educations.
H. M. Fisher, Leaving University
After 13 Years, Says Students
Are Nicest People He Has Met
“Yes, I’ll get ‘homesick’ for the cam
pus, I couldn’t help it,” said H. M. Fish
er, who gave up at the beginning of the
year his position ns superintendent of
buildings and grounds of the University,
a position to which he came thirteen
years ago. That was when the Univer
sity had about 400 students and a couple
of dozen faculty members, Mr. Fisher
■aid.
. “But it was an ntfful big small
school,” he continued. “Whenever there
was a rally si Villard ha is everybody
was there and doing his part. Everybody
helped about •verything,” he went on,
“because it was hard to get money for
the University in those days.”
The only buildings on the campus then
were Deady, Villard, McClure, Friendly
hall, the main body of the women’s gym
which was then the men’s gym, and the
small wing of the architecture building.
The library and the building now occu
pied by the school of music were under
construction. There was nothing south
of 13th street except the president’s
house and Spiller hall which was being
built.
Mr. Fisher saw all of the‘other build
ings grow, one every few years as the
University could secure funds. He saw
Friendly, McClure, the library, the gynn
and the architecture building put out ex>
crescences politely called annexes, some
of which are larger than the original
structures.
Hie special pride of Mr. Fisher has
been the grounds. “I’ve tried to keep the
grounds beautiful,” he said, “because j
think the campus is one of the Univer
sity’s greatest asset*. Everybody sees
the campus, even those going through the
town.”
Mr. Fisher superintended the planting
of all the rose hedges and ornamental
shrubs which now delight students and
visitors. He gave the University its
admired lawns by instituting the plan
of regularly watering and mowing the
turf which had previously been mowed
only by horses, and watered not at all
outside the rainy season.
All students and faculty members used
to be personally known to him, Mr. Fish
er said, as they delighted him by com
ing to him for everything from tacks to
servant girls.
“Wbat have you enjoyed most of all
during your thirteen years on the cam
pus,” he was asked.
"My contact with the students,” was
the unhesitating answer. “I’ve found
them the nicest people I ever met. Dur
ing all my thirteen years here, I’ve found
very few snobs.” he added. “I’ll miss
the students most of all.” «
On account of failing health,! Mr.
Fisher has given up his work with the
University, and has gone with his fam
ily to live on a little farm wes1, of the
city, where, he says, he expects to spend
the rest of his days raising chickens.
Madame McGrew to Appear
for First Time in Drama.
j Played hy a picket cast including Mme.
Rose McGrew, Charlotte Banfield and
Fergus Reddie, “Pygmalion,” a comedy
,by George Bernard Shaw which satirizes
the English language and incidentally so
ciety, will open the term’s season in
Guild theatre on Thursday and Saturday
nights.
Prof. Higgins, a phonetician, makes a
, bet with his friend Colonel Pickering,
that he can take a crude girl from the
streets and in time so train her that she
will be able to pass in society as a
(Vutchess.
Liza Doolittle is the girl who they
take up for the experiment. She has a
terrible dialect which the Colonel is sat
isfied the Professor cannot break up.
There follows a rare bit of comedy which
finds its flavor in the numerous situa
tions and the unique expressions of the
characters, of which Shaw is a master.
In the part of old Doolittle, Shaw finds
a means of expression for his notions of
things in general. There is a rare philos
ophy to the old fellow in his untutored
ways.
A bit of love story is introduced into
the play, which does not culminate with|
the last act, although Shaw tells us after
wards that Freddy Hill and Liza marry,
Freddy coming from an aristocratic fam
j iiy.
“Pygmalion” will serve to introduce
several new figures in drama on the cam
pus. Mrs. Higgins, played by Mme. Mc
Grew, will appear for the first time in
a play as will Professor Michael, of the
public speaking department. Mss Hill,
Fred’s mother, is played by Miss Fenton,
alumni secretary.

OREGON CLUB DANCE
TO BE GIVEN FEB. 19
Committees Appointed, Plans Outlined
at First Meeting of Win
ter Term.
Preliminary arrangements for the
dance which will be held on February V
occupied the members of the Oregon Club
present at the first meeting of the win
ter term held in the campus “Y” hut
Monday night. Barney Garrett, presi
dent of the club, appointed several com
mittees and outlined the immediate plans
of the men’s organization.
After deciding that the place of the
dance should not be arranged for until
"some estimate of the number who plan
ned to attend should be obtained, Garrett
requested all the Oregon Club men to
express their intentions at least two
weeks before the date set and leave their
names at the “Y” hut. Men who are
not acquainted and desire partners arc
asked to leave their request, with names.
Norton Winnard was appointed as a
committee of one to procure patrons and
patronesses for the dance. George Pasto,
Ernest Evans, and Bob Taylor comprise
the decorating committee, and Virgil De
Lap, Stanley Crowe, and Meryl Boyer
are listed as the committee to attend to
the refreshments.
The men were reminded that their
basketball team would meet the Kappa
Rig team Wednesday night, and that an
Oregon Club rooting section at this gome
was desirable.
