Since the inauguration of the recent building campaign | of the University, and even before, some of ns have been won dering just w,hat the University had in mind., Even now, with most of the buildings near completion, the campus is a scat tered-out arangement of buildings, many of them queer looking. Oregon hall and the new school of commerce building are queer-looking buildings. Both somehow seem to face the wrong direction* The music building and the new home of the school of education and the University high school are located far to the south of most of the other buildings. It seems strange that they were not built closed to the center of things. We all admire the two women’s dormitory structures, hut some of us continue to wonder at the architect who directed that they be placed so as to hide a great deal of the magnifi cence of the new women’s building. And the woman’s build ing itself rears its most imposing side towards a bleak cemetery. What object can the “powers that he” have in so arrang ing our ouee-'beautifu 1-t,hough-small University campus f we sometimes ask. Some of us have criticized and a great many or ns are far from pleased at present conditions. But— Those powers that be” are looking ahead to the future. They have planned a future campus. Every recent building has some part to play in the new campus, which will consist of quadrangles, walks lined with recitation buildings, a memor ial court, and groups of buildings devoted! to related subjects. They have planned a beautiful campus for the future. . Some day we shall be proud of our campus, even though wo are not now to any marked degree. Until then, instead of crit icizing the plans of the future campus, let’s look into them, find out what they really are, and explain to our occasional guests that the present is because of a future. Just another bit of proof signifying the expansion of the University is the new pre-teehnical course. Get a thorough understanding of its possibilities so that you may tell your friends. They will want to knQw the real advantages of a three-year pre-engineering course followed by work as a spec ialized school. It has many advantages ovgr a straight tech nical course. One policy that the Emerald has held to all year: If any thing is worked out secretly and under cover, it is more likely to he suspected of being “crooked” than anything made public and worked out with the knowledge of everyone concerned. Try it, politicians! If the future campus is scheduled for 1935, there may be a tew of us who will be able to enjoy the pleasure are mere students—if they keep raising standards every year, as they have this. Dean Plans Courses to Join Home Are and Business. Every girl, whether she majors incom raww or uot, ought to be able to cook. E. C. ltobbins, dean of the school of bus iness administration thinks so. In line vrith this belief, l>ean Robbins for some time has been considering a course which would combine business administration and household arts for the benefit of girls majoring in the commerce depart ment. The dean had heard the courses in cooking, and knew by hearsay that the girls were taught to prepare meals with a minimum of outlay and a maximum of results. Like the good old Missourian. Dean Robbins had to see for himself. So on Thursday, after assembly, Dean Robbins, unannounced, augmented the “mode! family” of five, which eats the Meals the girls prepare. Assembly let out 15 minutes late, and the home eco nomies people were not in the least aware that they would have to feed another is able to meet emergencies ns they arise. Show me how the future household ad guest. Aud the deuu was hungry. “An efficient business administration ministrntor is trained to meet such erner agencies,” said the dean. And they did. Miss .Jeanette Calkius, cook for the week, was informed that she was to have a guest, and shortly five portions were in creased to six. The dean wasn't hungry any more. Satisfied that it could be done, Dean Robbins immediately started to make ar rangements for combining the courses of the two schools, in such a way that neither conflict. Under the system ns it is now arranged, business administration major many minor in household arts, taking about one course in the minor department eueh year. The same ar rangement is made for majors in house hold arts, minor courses in commerce be ing offered. ★-* Announcements j *--—1 -—* Faculty.—All men members of the fac ility aro asked to reserve the night of April 30 for the all-U men’s smoker.

POUR HOURS’ EFFORT WINS SEATTLE TRIP Jennie Perkins Makes Debate Team at Last Moment; Three Others Are Selected. With but four hours preparation upon a subject she had never debated before, Jennie Perkins, of Portland, a senior in journalism, last evening won a place on the varsity women’s debating team in the tryouts held in Johnson hall. At 3 o’clock Miss Perkins didn’t know that there was to he n tryout. At 3:30 she heard of it and started to investi gate. “Were they going to Washing ton?” She discovered that they were. “What was the question?” This she was also told. And she immediately went to work organizing her material, and with time out for supper, had her talk ready by 7:30 p. m. Wanda Daggett, Marjorie Stout, and Lurline Coulter are the other members of the team which is to debate Washing ton May 13. Miss Daggett and Miss Perkins comprise the negative team which will go to Seattle, the negative team from Washington coming here to meet the Oregon nffairmntive team in the dual contest. There was no competition for places upon the varsity team, other than among the four women who qualified. Miss Perkins is not an inexperienced debater, having been a member of the varsity women’s team of the University of Wash ington. The coming debate will end a two year forensic contest. Last year Oregon de feated Washington in both encounters of the dual debate. It is expected that the contract will be renewed next year. The subject for the debates is. “Re solved: That the United States should adopt the policy of opposition to the ex tension of Japanese influence in China.” t IF YOU WANT A GOOD JOB DONE ON YOUR SUIT, SEND IT TO THE Osburn Cleaners Expert Cleaning and Pressing MARJORIE RAMBEAU TO BE HERE APRIL 27 Eugene Theatre to Present “The Sign On the Door”; Production. Is Praised. The first important dramatic event of the year at the Eugene Theatre will take place Wednesday. April 27, when Marjorie Eambeau, in “The Sign On the Door,” will be presented at that play house. Miss Rambeau is appearing under the direction of A. M. Woods, who has not only provided his popular star with a play of remarkable interest, but has giv en her a supporting company of the high est merit. For the first time in six years o? continuous Broadway success, Miss Ram beau is carrying her art and her engaging charms to theatres outside the small dramatic circle that has Forty-second street for its center. No player of the present generation has enjoyed greater fame or more deserved popularity. In the role of Ann Hunniwell, this popular artist rinus a rare uppunumij for the display of her great gifts. Jt is an emotional role, and Miss Rambean embraces it with fire and pathos. Her performance is perhaps the most finished that has been held before theatregoers for seasons. The play never oversteps the bounds of probability, and yet the audiences are held enthralled by the gripping power of its thrilling situations. Tremendous suc cess that has come to Miss Rambeau through this play, and she is now recog nized as a leading American dramatist. 31 ST ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATED The 31st anniversary of the founding of the State College of Washington was observed recently by the students and faculty with a Founder’s Day program.
