Landsbury Is Satisfied With
New Quarters.
AUDITORIUM SEATS 615
Steinway Pianos Only Kind
f, Now Purchased.
'Wie new school of music building, now
under construction, will be ready for par
tial occupancy sometime this spring, said
Dean John J. Landsbury yesterday. The
studio part of the building will be ready
for use first, and the entire. building
will be finished before the opening of
the .University next fall.
“So far as we know this will be the
last word in buildings for a school of
music,” declared Dean Landsbury. “We
are taking advantage of all the mis
takes that have been made in other
places."
The building, which was planned by
Lawrence and Holford, Portland nrelii
tests., the former being Dean Ellis Law
rence of the school of architecture, is
modern in every way. It is built in th(
form of an “L”, and has’ besides the
large auditorium, a lecture room 3f
feet long by 22 feet wide, 13 large stu
dios, a business office, 13 practice rooms
a clvb room and sun porch, and a room
for the use of Mu Phi Epsilon musical
iraiernuy.
The auditorium is 180 feet long, 50
feet wide, and will seat 015 persons. It
is built as a concert hall, and not as a
theatre, but has a removable stage for
use in choral work. The auditorium if
A Separate part of the building from that
given up to the studios, and can be used
Without any connection with the studios,
^bis part is one story only, although the
studio part has two stories. The audi
torium wing includes rest rooms and
general assembly rooms for performers,
lobbies, storage and general utility
rowns. The fact that the school of music
WU), after the completion of this build
ing," have its own concert hall, will
greatly increase the fneilities for con
certs and recitals, said Dean Lands
bury,
. The whole building is especially do
Sighed for a school of music, Dean
Landsbury said, and is exceedingly nr
tistic. A special scheme of deadening is
used throughout between all the floors
and wails.
' “We are definitely committed to the
fget that we must have the best attain
able for studio equipment,” declared Dr
landsbury. “Our whole slogan is that
students must bear tones from the best
instruments if they arc to have good
Standards of tone quality. Wo will re
strict ourselves in quantity of equip
ment before we will put in mediocre oi
poor equipment.” Steinway pianos only
•re bought by the school of music and
eventually the school will have nothing
hut Hteinwuys. “Of all colleges that
have bought their own equipment” Dr
Landsbury says, “some may have more
instruments, but none have better.”
DEANS DECLARE CUT
SYSTEM EFFICIENT
(Continued from Page 1.)
Three absences equal a (tost. One fail
ure to get in an assignment means post.
Three grades of five mean a post. A
post is given for two absences if the
student misses a quiz and makes no at
tempt to make it up. The main trouble,
however, in the elementary classes, says
Dr. Wheeler, is not with cutting; it is
with scholarship, lie also agrees with
Dr. Conklin in saying that 'the scholar
ship of the advanced classes is excellent.
This good attendance would indicate an
increasing seriousness on the part of the
students. Dr. Wheeler says he believes
in one rule for everybody: So long as
the standard of the student’s work is
high, so long as he attends classes and
completes his assignments, no one
should cure how many dances he goes to
nor how muny movies he attends.
Mr. Carlton Spencer, registrar, ex
plains that in the case of excessive unex
cuaed absences, the instructor reports
the student to his office. Notice is then
Bent to the student, to the head of liis
house, to the dean of men or the dean
of women, and to the dean of the school
in which he is majoring. Two such re
ports against a student mean that he is
automatically placed on probation, and
once on probation a student is liable to
be dropped from the University at any
time that he is delinquent in scholar
ship, attendance or deportment.
Being on probation also means that
the student is barred from all student
activities which include not only stu
dent body activities, hut also class and
committee offices. The reason for this
is that when n student cuts classes ex
cessively it is very possibly caused by
bis doing too many things outside his
studies, and so in order to protect him
from the things that are keeping him
away from classes, he is removed from
all offices. A student placed on proba
tion this way must remain on prohntiiMI
for the remainder of the term, and noth
itig lio can do will take him off until the
end of the term.
This system leaves each instructor to
regulate the attendance of his particu
lar classes and whenever he feels that
he needs the co-operation of the Uni
versity administration all he has to do
to to report the student.
Mr. Spencer also says that this term
in particular, cutting seems to be in
frequent and it therefore follows that
the standard of scholarship throughout
the University must necessarily become
higher.
WENDLING HAS CLASSES

TROPHY AROUSES INTEREST
The trophy for the winners of the in
ter fraternity basketball games at O. A.
(\, which is a handsome library table,
has created much interest in the games.
Plenty Sleep, Dieting Urged;
Weekly Conferences Held.
Plenty of sleep and dieting, if neces
sary, was urged upon all underweight
men in the University by Dr. E. H. Saw
yer, University physician, in a confer
ence held in the physical education
building Saturday morning at eleven
o’clock. This conference is the first of
several which will be held under the su
pervision of the University health de
partment for the purpose of advising and
aiding the men in bringing up their
weight.
The problem of the overweight men is
•lot as serious, said Doctor Sawyer, as
that of the underweight men. Regular
■xereise was urged in such cases espe
cially for the men who are oyer eight
per cent over weight. These men, it was
pointed out, will be more likely to put on
superflous weight and will be more apt
to have serious diseases in later life.
Another conference will be held itext
week for all men who are over ten per
cent under weight in order that Dr.
Sawyer can meet personally every one
and advise him according to his own par
ticular needs.
It is planned to have each man
weighed once a week and his progress re
ported once a month at the University
health office in the physical education
building. By this method the condition
and improvement of all men under su
pervision will be noted all the rest of
the year.
A number of the men who were called
to the conference Saturday morning were
found to be up to th£ required standard.
This is due to the fact that they have
jained sufficiently in weight since they
were examined last fall at the beginning
of the school year.

“END OF WORLD” AGAIN
Jan. 28 Date Set by Unknown Letter
Written to Registrar.
“The coil of the world will tome on
January -8, following a half an hour of
peace in Heaven.” This unusual state
ment was the high spot in a letter re
ceived at the registrar’s office this
week.
Just what the letter has to say and
why it was sent to the University of
Oregon are the two questions which
arise in regard to the strange missive.
Pages and pages of closely handwritten
work, including strange phrases and fig
ures by the dozen, make up its content.
The envelope in which it came was
addressed, “The University of Oregon
Portland, Oregon.” The postmark shows
that it was mailed in Rochester, N. Y.
No name is signed to the manuscript, the
only conclusion being “Selah.”
