YEARLY FOR MAGAZINES Total of 1181 Periodicals Taken Regularly GOOD LITERATURE READ Students Taste Declared to be Improving A total of 1181 periodicals, maga zines, journals and publications of all kinds are taken regularly by the Uni versity library. Of this number 643 are paid subscriptions and 538 are re ceived as gifts or exchanges. This number represents a yearly expenditure of around $2,500 for magazines and the indexes and services which the library buys in connection with the periodicals. These include such servicees as the “Reader’s (Juide to Periodicals,” “The Agricultural Tndex” and others fur nished by the TT. W. Wilson Oo. of New York. Aside from the magazines that go into the regular reading room there are about twenty magazines now bought for circulation. These are the maga zincs for which there is a great demand and are bought with a portion of the money collected from the library fines. They are bound in heavy covers and are charged out for two days at a time. The circulation copies are also used 1 in filling out of town requests for which the library receives a great many. Debate Material oupyueu Most of tho requests are for debate material eontained in the recent cur rent publications. This collection con tains such standard magazines as "The Atlantic Monthly,” The Literary Di gest, The Living Ago, The Independent, Harpers, Century, Scribners, World’s Work, Review of Reviews, New Repub lic, Good Housekeeper, and numerous others. The most popular of these periodicals are the Atlantic, Scribners, Harpers, and The Litorary Digest. Tho Living Age is also rapidly Wecoming Very popular and is in circulation nearly all the time. The magazines nre arranged in the library in sections, according to subject matter. All are listed in a magazine index alphabetically so that there is no difficulty in finding nny magazine immediately. Periodicals Become Necessities Professors are rapidly becoming to believe that the periodicals relating to the major departments are just as nec essary as the text books for class study and the library hns endenvored to have good magazine literature on every ma jor subject taught in tho University. There are magazines on Art, Business Administration, Science, Journalism, Music, English, and many others. Miss Mary B. Humphrey, who is in charge of the reference department of the University library, said that dur ing several years of library experience she has noticed a distinct improvement in the type of periodical literature se lected by students. This she said is no doubt due to the students being introduced to the better magazines through their class assignments in Kn glish work. The demand for such fie tlon as is contained in the such old standard magazines as Century, Scrib ner’s and Harpers is gradually increas ing. Departmental Magazines in Demand Aside from the general magazines the purely departmental magazines that have the greatest demand are those used by students in the school ot busi uftss administration. Such periodicals as System, Administration, Factory, and industrial Management, are in use constantly. The Art and Theatre magazines an' very popular too and the illustrated magazines such as The London Illus trated News, are nearly always being! used in the library. The Theatre Magazine, and Life, are two that it is necessary to keep under supervision. If they are placed in regular places io the library they will not remain for more than a day. It is neeessurv te keep them in a drawer at the circulation to be given to “re sponsible persons only.” American and Post Popular The American and Tho Saturday Evening Post are perhaps the most list'd among tin* lighter fiction tnagu zincs. Such magazines that nre pro fusoly illustrated such as Arts and Decorations, International Studio, Country Life, and The Mentor are CLASSIFIED ADS Wlnlmtun chmruo, 1 lime. SSe .

According to Miss Hujnphrey, the old favorite magazines that have chosen a standard and have stuck to it are holding their own in popularity. She referred to Harpers, Scribners, and Century, particularly. These magazines, she said, have never changed their size, their type of subject matter, nor their appearance. While other maga zines have varied greatly in both make up and subject matter these three have remained standardized and have re mained about the same character of publications for many years. SORORITY HOLDS REUNION Scores of Guests Enjoy Happy Meeting at Delta Gamma House The Delta Gamma reunion was held last week-end, bringing to the campus more than 20 Oregon alumnae, and guests from Washington, California and Wisconsin chapters. A banquet was served at the Osburn hotel Saturday at 6:30 p.m., with covers laid for more than 60 guests. The idea of a time table was carried out in the place-cards, the dishes on the menu being printed as stations, and the toasts listed under train crews.

MAY 25 IS LAST DAY TO APPLY FOR STATE BONUS Requests for Service Men’s Loans May be Made Later That state aid men on the campus who are contemplating making a re quest for the loan to ex-service men as recently provided by state law should make their application on the initial blank before May 25, in the opinion of Miss Abbie Ledward, who has charge of the handling of the educational aid work on the campus. Miss Ledward pointed out that although the law does not provide that the application be turned in before May 25, if the loan is desired, it does require that applica tions for the cash bonus be submitted before that date and the loan blank should be filled out before then in order to prevent any possible confu sion later on. This does not mean, however, that the State aid men must take the loan out at once, but merely means that the preliminary application requesting the loan sometime in the future should be filed. The final application blanks for the loan can be filled out and sent in when the money is desired. Blanks are not available on the campus at the state aid office, but by writing to TTarry 0. Brumbaugh, secretary of the world war veterans state aid commis sion in Salem, blanks can be procured, with directions for filling them out. According to Section 8 of the law as it was enacted at the meeting of the legislature, “Any person who has re ceived benefits under the act provid ing for State financial aid to soldiers’ sailors and marines for educational pur poses shall make a refund to the, state of the amount so received before he shall be entitled to receive a loan or bonus under this act.” Miss Ledward declares that in case ex-service men receiving state aid wish to take advantage of the loan or bonus they may do so and the money they have already received for educational aid will be subtracted from it. The Eugene Bed Cross office on Willamette and Seventh streets has a number of application blanks on hand and will as sist the ex-service men in making out tho preliminary applications for the loan and will likewise furnish infor mation as to the amount which can be procured and the interest to be paid upon it. The office is open from 9 until 5 during the week, and all day Saturday.
