SCHOOLS OF SOUTH ALSO NUT GIFTS California and Stanford Go Before Public With Donation Appeal The University of California and Stanford University have launched en dowment campaigns which, in a general way, parallel the plan of campaign un-1 dertaken at the University of Oregon.; The two California institutions iind j themselves in the same position as Or egon. They have grown so rapidly that to take care of development they are seeking bequests to augment moneys ob tained through state appropriation. Those in charge of the Oregon cam paign, yesterday obtained copies of a recent edition of the San Francisco Chronicle in which M. H. de Young, publisher, appealed to California citi zens in an editorial three columns wide to make benefactions to California and! Stanford. The editorial argument was •supported by a five-column drawing de picting a group of donors preparing to help the universities. “Give While You Live”; “Enjoy the Effects of Your Own Generosity” and “Why Wait? Give Now!” were some of the legends dis played in the drawing. Many Make Bequests “Undoubtedly there are in existence today hundreds of wills with clauses providing substantial bequests to the University of California, to Stanford University, and to other insttutions of learning in the state,” wrote Mr. de Young. “The practice of giving to some worthy cause, after the death of the testator, is a time-honored custom —but why wait until after death?” “The University of California is sore ly handicapped by lack of physical equipment. Everywhere students are crowded almost beyond endurance. At times instructors have been compelled to address as many as several hundred students. .Stanford University is no better off. Money is needed for the use of the medical school, the hospital, and for the carrying on of instruction, re search and clinical service.” Herbert Hoover Approves W. K. Newell, in charge of campaign headquarters at the University of Ore-j gon, yesterday received word from j Lloyd L. Mulit, a former University of Oregon regent and now vice-presi dent of the Bank of Italy, San Fran cisco, that Herbert Hoover has formally commended the California campaigns for gifts. “The state of California obviously ■ has insufficient provision for higher ed ucation,” Secretary Hoover telegraph ed to the San Francisco Chronicle. “Thei state university is so overcrowded as j to endanger its work, while Stanford University has needed to limit its stu-1 dents. The only solution is more gen erous giving and enlargement of our: institutions. We cannot deny college education to anyone in California.” RENT BOOK COLLECTION IN LIBRARY IS SUCCESS 85 Volumes Added Since August 30, 1921; Charge of Five Cents a Day Brings in $195.76 The rent book collection in the li brary is proving to be a success, accord ing to M. IT. Douglass, librarian. There has been a total of 85 books since Aug ust 30, 1921, 41 of which have been put in the regular stacks. Persons desiring to read the books pay five cents a day rental. The prin cipal advantage, according to Mr. Doug- 1 lass, is that the books are not kept out so long by one person and more people j have accession to them. The total proceeds of rental taxes, ! from August 30, 1921, at which time the collection was installed, to October 9, 1922, is $195.76. The proceeds, over the cost of the books, go toward new ' books. The new books in the collection 1 are Fiona and the Hills of Euel, by Mc leod; Little Boy Lost, by W. H. Hud- 1 son; Mother Goose, Geburt Stagbrech, 1 and Fur Kinder, by Kate Greenaway; | The English Spelling Book, illustrated'1 by Kate Greenaway; An Argosy of Fables, by F. T. Cooper; and The Blue Bird, by Maurice Maeterlink. There have been a number of books moved from the main stacks to the of fice of the librarian to make room for new books. New shelves have been put in the art balcony, reserve room, and graduate student room to take care of books removed from the stacks because of the crowded condition of the library. “WAY DOWN EAST” PRAISED The best picture that D. W. Griffith ever made is the universal comment on the great cinema masterpiece, “Way Down East,” which is playing at the Castle. With an all-star Griffith cast headed by Lillian Gish and Richard Barthelmess, the picture’s success is as sured. The characters are distinctly true to life, and the acting is superb. Inter mingled throughout the picture are bits of scenery which places the camera-man in a class with the best artists. Although the story is an old one— that of the betrayal of an innocent girl, so beautifully^ played by Miss Gish, —it has been portrayed with added coihical items of small town and farm life. The story is so realistic that it touches one’s heartstrings at one mo ment and at another brings on a hearty laugh by picturing some funny antic j on the farm. The interior of the Castle has under-, gone many changes during the summer1 and now is a castle in the true sense of the word. The stage has been artistical ly altered while the fitst few rows of seats have been replaced by a large or chestra pit. Xew upholstered seats are due to arrive for the Castle around the twentieth of this month and will be in stalled as soon after as possible. The picture “Way Down East” is I greatly enhanced by special music by John R. Rritz, famous Hungarian art ist, and his Castle orchestra who are presenting the original “Way Down East" score and atmospheric prelude. : Due to the inability to handle the large 1 crowds, the Castle management announ- ' ces that this film masterpiece will be • held for an indefinite engagement.

SWEETSER SENDS SPECIMENS TO CLASSES Plants Gathered by Botanist at Bandon While on His Way to Address Teachers’ Institute Three specimens of coast plants, ga thered at Bandon by Professor Sweet ser, has been received bv the botany department. One is a yellow flowered plant known as San Verbena, another, is an Erigerson Glaucus, commonly! known as Coast Fleabane, and the third is a specimen of Baecharis Pilularis or wine-bush, one of the few plants, of this group, which is a shrub. Professor Sweetser left last Friday on a trip to Gold Beach where he is addressing a teachers’ institute on Bot anical subjects and problems arising in the teaching of botany He gathered the specimens on his way to Gold Beach and realizing that they would make in teresting study for University students, sent them to Eugene. He is scheduled for two addresses a day and it is thought that the meetings will keep him there until the end of the week. SPANISH CLUB IS ACTIVE Grade Requirements Moved; Member-: ship is Open to All Interested The first meeting of the term for the Spanish club was in the nature of an in formal reunion held last night at the Y. W. bungalow. Hubert Schenck, pres ident, outlined plans for the year’s so cial and business programs, Helen Ad dison, Edgar Blood and Mr. Semanario were appointed to the social committee, publicity is to be in the charge of Freda Goodrich and Felipe Gamboa, and Helen Iloefer and Henrietta Hansen were na med as a committee to investigate the matter of pins, which will be worn by the club. ' Following the business meeting, a number of parodies on popular songs were sung in Spanish, and a social held. Since the establishment on the cam pus of an honorary Spanish fraternity, the grade requirement for membership i in the Spanish club has been abolishd; and all students who are interested in the work of the club are invited to join. Military and Student Body Organizations Combined On New Principle A “real” band, organized on the same status as the glee club, and the or chestra, a University of Oregon band, which holds a state wide reputation, and merits something of the apprecia tion of the critical music world, is the prospect which the Oregon studeat body looks forward to for the coming school year. Due to the cooperation of Lieutenant Colonel Sinclair and Captain F. C. Lew is, military band master, with the of ficers of the student body, the band has been organized upon an entirely different basis this year. While on the drill field, the band will wear the usual army uniform, but while on the athletic field, or attended upon rallies and stu dent celebrations, the band will wear the uniform of the University of Ore-, gon Band. In addition to the regular students who enrolled in the military j department, and are playing in the | band, there are, according to the re- j port of Captain Lewis, a number of1 upperclassmen, especially juniors, who! are playing with the band at the rcgu-1 lar drill and practice hours. Many of the members of this year’s band are experienced musicians. Just what the uniform of the band will be, whether something of the usual band-style uniform in Oregon colors, or a green and yellow sweater with white duck trousers, has not yet been decided. The army musical instruments will be used. Approximately fifty candidates for positions on the band turned out at the first practice, and competition promises to be stiff, as the final award of a place in the band will be considered a student body honor. The deserving members of the band are presented with a musi cians’ “O” at the end of the year by the student body.
