RUSHING BUSINESS
DONE AT LIBRARY
Students Swarm te Reserve
Section; New Building
Now a Necessity
Using books from the reserve section
of the library and trying to read them
in the reserve section reading rooms
have almost become an uproarious
farce. The doors creak unremittingly,
the floors squeak unceasingly, chairs
are shoved scrapingly backwards and
forwards, and unending traffic in and
out, keeps everyone continually disturb
ed. Mobs of students waiting in crowds
for books at the desk combine to form
a condition of congestion unparalleled
in the history of the University. One
happy circumstance about it is that ev
eryone is good natured. Smiles greet
you as you look hopelessly for a vacant
chair. When you are lucky enough to
get the book you want and a chair also
then you can afford to smile yourself.
Many Use Books
From 1300 to 1642 students a day
use books from the reserve shelves. The
larger of the two reserved section read
ing rooms has seats for 150 and the
smaller room, for 35 people.
By actual count on November 4, there
were 2720 books on reserve. Several
hundreds have been added since then
-and there are now more than 3000.
These books are practically all in daily
use. Seven years ago there were about
700 students and the library was ade
quate, today it is congested beyond
the limits of comfort or convenience.
M. H. Douglass, the librarian, offers
the following suggestions to help the
situation a little:
1. All who can, should do their read
ing in the reserve section during the
day as the evening hours are most con
gested.
2. All studnts not using reserve books
should remain downstairs in the main
reading room and newspaper room.
3. Whenever possible students should
do their studying at home and leave
more room for those who are compelled
to be in the library.
4. Students having difficulty in se
curing a reserve book should try using
it during the meal hours.
Library Raises Scholarship
The library building is the one buld
iMg on the campus that is used by all
of the students every day. It is the
study room of the institution. Noth
ing that the University can do in the
way of a suitable library building will
contribute more to good scholarship. For
this reason President Campbell hopes to
secure a half a million dollars in the
gift campaign for a new library.
Moving books around the library and
up and down tlio stairs is becoming
more and more burdensome. A freight
elevator is a serious noed and almost
a hopeless hope of the faithful library
attendant. A shaft built for the pur
pose has been standing idly in the build
ing waiting for a carriage for some
years.
Health Is Impared
The reading rooms are a menace to
the health of the students for the roa
son that they cannot be ventilated with
out making parts of it drafty. The
upper part of the building is really a
dangerous fire trap because of the nar
row and difficult stairs. Members of
the library force are obliged to work
in cramped and unsanitary quarters,
Hnd there are no seminar rooms. Many
students are not able to study at their
places of residence. Sorority and frat
ernity houses are too crowded and too
noisy for successful studying, especial
ly during evening hours. Many students
outside the halls of residence do not
have properly heated rooms and hence
regularly do all their studying at the li
brary. It offers no convenient oppor
tunities for the faculty to study and
probably for that reason they do not
use it. The demand for a new library
building is based on the greatest good
for the greatest number.
Conditions Must Improve
it is absolutely essential that in the
library, conditions should be provided
favorable for work. This involves
among other things the following:
Study rooms large enough to give
each student sufficient individual desk
space so that he may be able to work
undisturbed; rooms properly heated and
ventilated; charging desk facilities; ap
propriate provisions for special needs;
more space for books, and extra accom
modation for professors and graduates.

TEN WOMEN PLEDGED
TD ZETfl KAPPA PSI
_
Honorary Debate Organization
Elects New Members
Zeta Kappa Psi, women's national
honorary debate fraternity, has an
nounced the pledging of ten members
who have been active in forensic work
on the campus during this term and
last year. The ten elects to the hon
orary organization are Marion Lay,
Winifred Graham, Myrtle Pelker, Mar
garet Morrison, Virginia Pearson, Ro
salia Keber, Mildred Crain, Eugenia
Strickland, Frances Simpson, and Julia
Raymond.
The pledging is the climax of the
dough-nut season, which, under the
management of Zeta Kappa Psi, has
aroused much interest. Lurline Coul
ter, president of the organization, has
stated that the interest in debating this
year has exceeded that of previous
years and that larger crowds have been
in attendance.
The new members of the society are
taken from those who have exhibited
ability and won distinction in varsity
and do-nut debating, said Miss Coulter,
and it is expected that many who have
been participating in do-nut debate will
try out for varsity the question being
the same.
Beta chapter of Zeta Kappa Psi was
installed at the University of Oregon
in 1916. The active members are Lur
line Coulter, president; Edna Largent,
vice-president; LeLaine West, secre
tary; Fymcis McMillan, Emily Veazie,
Betty Stephenson.

A fascinating imitaton of gay Par

port of the members of the decorating
committee. They further add, “It will
be the last word in sophistication,
wherein a replica of Bal Tabarin of
(the Montmartre, ‘les garcons et les gig
abytes’ of the campus will frolic to

LIFE TOO COMPLEX
Committee Is Named to Study
Campus Honor Societies;
Faculty Blamed
Over organization of student activi
ties is in a large measure due to.,faculty
influence, is the sentiment expressed
by faculty members at a meeting of the
faculty Colloquium Tuesday night. Dis
cussion of the situation led to the ap
pointment of Dean Eric Allen, Dr. John
Bovard, Profesor C. D. Thorpe, E. H.
Decker, and E. T. Hodge, to constitute
a committee to make a further study
of the matter and report on it at a
later meeting, when definite action may
be taken.
“How many think the faculty has a
considerable degree of responsibility in
this matter?” was the question receiv
ing the unanimous affirmative from the
faculty when put to a vote.
Campus life is, in most cases, so com
plex that it cannot be adequately lived
in a 24 hour day, because of the over
organization of student activities, be
lieves the faculty. This over organi
zation is due to two things, they point
ed out. First, the competitive spirit
existing between unversities, which
causes a nearby institution to quickly
organize a fraternity or club that has
appeared on a neighboring campus, and
second to the idea that a university
must be advertised.
That three fourths of the depart
mental or so-called honor fraternities
are the result of the faculty or admin
istration having fostered and encour
aged their organization was held by the
faculty members.
There is a certain value in most stu
dent activities, the faculty believes.
No definite decision was reached as to
just which ones are most worth while
and worthy of being'fostered. It was
held that as in-so-far as activities en
able the student to become a judge
of character, and teach him to work
with other people through coming in
contact with them they are of value,
but when the point is reached when the
student has insufficient time to know
himself and to think, or even to sleep,
then they are detrimental to his wel
fare and education.
“Gathering goat feathers,” is the
way in which one member expressed
the condition of the student who rushes
from one committee meeting to another
from day to day.
