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.

PROF. SWEETSER SENDS
SPECIMENS TO CLASSES
Plants Gathered by Botanist at Bandon
While on His Way to Address
Teachers’ Institute

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

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.

pus of an honorary Spanish fraternity,
the grade requirement for membership i
in the Spanish club has been abolishd;

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.
