The trees and walks in the center of the campus are beautiful and well kept, and the ivy on the buildings lends a picturesque and learned atmosphere. But the west end of the campus—the front door—can hardly be praised for its beauty. The section of the campus which first meets the eye of the visitor has no beautiful trees to add to its appearance. Although this cannot be speedily remedied, it would be possible to improve the looks of the front door by removing the old tennis backstops, clearing out the dead weeds from a misplaced flowergarden of last year, improving the lawns, and clearing out piles of earth left by Kincaid street pavers. In thinking of campus entrances it is impossible to refrain from making comparisons. Those who have visited Stanford campus have remarked at the long palm-lined driveway which leads to the first building. At other California institutions entrances are beautified by statues and pillars. Washington’s front door shows evidence of careful planning. Entrances to the campuses of several Eastern colleges are striking examples of beauty and harmony. Doubtless the plan for the University campus of the future does provide for such an entrance. It would not be complete unless it did. But until there are enough new buildings to outline the new plan, until old Kincaid is the center of a new quadrangle there is something lacking. The first impression campus visitors get should be one of order and beauty. For the present it would be enough if the tennis backstops were cleared away and the lawn improved. If there are to be more tennis courts there are other places more suitable than in the front yard. They should be in the vicinity of the gymnasiums. The paving of Kincaid street was the first step. Beautification of the lower end of the campus should be the next. Why A College Education? I w o tilings one may reasonably expect to carry home from college, says President Faunce of Brown University. “These are horizon and mastery.” Those of us who went to college from the farm or country village or from any land of little things either in country or city, know that at college we got to the higher ground and the wider view. The world of geography, ot history, of science, of art and literature, was far greater and a finer world than we had ever dreamed. After we had mingled with the great men of the ages gone and of our own times, many of the people and the things we had thought great looked small to us. This is what is called “horizon.” But, says President Faunce, ‘horizon is not enough. A man may be so broad that he is flat. There 1 is no intellectual joy quite so great as the sense of having mastered some corner of the world’s knowledge so that at one point we have j passed from heresay to reality. —Portland Telegram. hrauk Branch lliley has perhaps done more than any other man to advertise the Pacific Northwest, Students who heard him at as sembly yesterday morning understand the reason why. Those in charge of securing assembly -speakers should be commended for bringing a man of this type to Eugene. FOREST SERVICE MAN SAYS TIMBER GOING i* Is. H. Dater, Portland. Addresses Tech nical Society; Shows How Trans portation Affects Lumber Supply “Our virgin timber is rapidly dis appearing and it is only a matter of time before the taking of timber from the forests will be attended with the strictest regulations,” said 1’. 11. Hater, chief engineer of the forest service, of Portland, who addressed tho meeting of the Technical society in Heady hall, Wednesday evening. The south and far west are now practically the only important sources of our timber sup ply and there has been a 37 per cent decrease in the production of lumber in the past 13 years,” he said I'li** beginning of forest conservation in the United States was probably on Arbor Day, 187:.', while the passage of | the Weeks Law in 1911 provided for the purchase of timber by the govern ment, said Mr. Dater. One of the greatest losses in the. j forests comes from fires which are largely the result of man’s earless I ness, this probably being largely why j one of the chief duties of engineers ! and rangers in the forest service is ! fire fighting, in the opinion of the I speaker. While there are many hardships in the lives of men in the forestry service, | there is also a satisfaction in it that comes from the knowledge of having helped one’s people and of doing whole some, out-of-door work that keeps the men in the service “on the job,” said Mr. Dater.

The company is flue of the best that has been in* Eugene for some time, the costumes and scenery are fresh and at tractive, and the entire performance 'was worthy of highest commendation. The scene of The Bohemian Girl is placed in Presburg, Hungary, during the 19th century. Almost everyone knows the story of Arline, daughter of' the Count Arnheim, who is kid napped from her father’s estate by the I gypsies, Devilshoof. their chief and the Gypsy Queen, her eventual rescue by .Thaddeus, and their romantic court ship. j\ The music of The Bohemian Girl is beautiful and some of the old famil iar airs, The Heart Bowed Down, Then ' You ’ll Remember Me, and I Dreamt I Dwelt In Marble Halls, were enthusi . astically received. Paula Ayres, contralto and Theo. Pennington, soprano, wore in excellent j voice and both sang with exquisite in terpretation and depth of feeling. Har I ry Pfell, in the part of Thaddeus com pletely won over his audience with his clear resonant voice, and range of notes. The company is playing The Mikado tonight, with Harry Pfell in the role of Nanki Poo. Paula Ayers singing Katisha, and Theo Pennington playing Yum-Yum. H. M. S. Pinafore, a Gil bert and Sullivan comic opera is to be given Saturday afternoon and the en gagement will close with Robert Pan quctte’s The Chimes of Normandy,; 'Saturday evening. FROSH TO BE FETED BY WOMEN OF CLASS Triple A Plans Acquaintance Party for Friday Evening. January 26; j Dance is Dateless The women of the freshman class are promising the men an evening of festivity Friday, January 26, according to Betty Rauch, chairman of the social committee of Triple A, the organiza tion of first year women, who will en tertain the men with an informal dance.

Men will come to the dance dateless, and with Lady Luck on their side,! manage to secure their desired part ners. One of the mews of selecting partners will be a sheet stunt. Girls will be placed behind sheets, slits re-1 vealing their eyes. It will be a mighty j poor freshman who will not be able to select his fair maiden by the eye test. Other Innovations will be used to en- j liven the evening. Paul Joneses, ladies choice and tag dances will be employed as a means of making every one acquainted. Good music, refresh ments and a clever feature will provide amusement for the ‘ mighty class.' Lack of dignity and formality will l>e the keynote of the affair, according to the workers on the committees. ' ETHEL WAKEFIELD, ’20 IS AUTHOR OF ARTICLE Education Monthly Publishes Treatise on Teaching by Ex-University High School Instructor The Visual Education Monthly, a New York publication, has published an article of interest by Ethel Wake field, ’20, a teacher in the University j high school. The subject is “Teaching • Literature with Films and Slides,” I and was written entirely from the ex- , periences Miss Wakefield had while head of the English department in the University high school. It deals with the recent tendencies in education toward visualizing subjects in the class j croom with the aid of film and slide. “It is a mistake to introduce the classic by means of pictures. Such procedure curtails the individual’s own interpretation and imaginative powers j by setting up for him definite ready i made opinions as to character, ideals, and motives. These opinions he should ] form for himself. The plan of using | the film as a climax to the study is ' the best plan,” writes Miss Wakefield, j The writer deals with the financing : of the film service, the participation of i the students in the production in the 1 school, and lectures and comments on ' the pictures. “In the University high [ school one film which cost eighteen dollars to book was recently shown | under the management of the senior i class, which thereby added some thirty dollars to its treasury, but students ' should avoid all competition with local theatres,” states Miss Wakefield. A list o " films is given, which is useful for lherature classes. This list • includes many plays of Shakespeare: (Dickens’ “Tale of Two Cities,” “The | Christmas Carol;” the books of George Eliot/ Stevenson, Washington Irving, i and Walter Scott. The article is ac ! companied by scenes from many his , torieal plays which have been produced in the last year, showing the opening I tof a broad, new field in education. CLUB WILL HEAE TALKS The G and M society, Condon club | lias obtained as speakers for its meet ; ings this term, Drs. H. J. Tanner, J. ; H. Bovard and E. Thorstenberg. These I men are lecturers of merit, who pre | sent their talks in an informal style ] that has proved popular with audiences. Besides the regular business of the I club, hikes will be undertaken, and the ; annual dance will be given this quarter. 15,976 BOOKS BEAD IN YEAK The school of business administra i t ion library gave out 15,976 books dur j ing the past year, according to figures ! compiled by Dorothy Lowry, the li ' brarian. These books do not represent j fiction, but were used by the stu j dents in connection with their class • work. ' I See Our Schoble Scotchtex Hats WHAT ARE YOU DOING THIS EVENING ?
