CHURCHES ARE TOO EAR 'AWAY, SAYS AAR. GIFFEN Cooperative Religious School Declared Need The main reason more students do not attend church, according to Bruce J. Giffen, pastor of the Presbyterian church \ of Eugene, is that there is a reluctance i among them to break up into denomina tional groups. They do not wish to be- j come identified with any particular church and do not attend any except at irregular intervals. Another reason, Mr. Giffen believes, is that the churches are too far from the campus. , “The remedy for this situation,” says Mr. Giffen, “is a University church, sponsored by faculty and student organ izations; a church which is undenomin ational and in which the interests of stu dents are taken care of.” “The state University campus,” he contines, “should not, as an institution, be destitute of formal religious instruc tion. A school of religion should be or ganized in which we could work coopera tively, but not competitively. We try to work with the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. but of course we can not reach all of the students.” Statistics compiled by Mr. Giffen and L. P. Putnam of the Y. M. C. A. show that 511 students have no church pref erence, 400 are Presbyterians, 314 Meth odists, 235 Christians, 174 Episcopalians, 159 Roman Catholics, 94 Christian Scien tists, 92 Baptists, 85 Cpngi^gational \ ists, 45 Protestants, 33 Lutherans, 19 Unitarians, six Latter Day Saints, six Jews, five Friends, four United Brethren, two Church of God, one Adventist, one Buddhist, one Evangelical, one 'Nazarene and one Universalist. SENIOR CLASS DECIDES TO DROP CLEAN-UP DAY Members Urged to Sign Pledge Cards and to Order Caps and Gowns; Next Meeting on May 8 Campus clean-up day has been dropped. This was the decision reached by the senior class at its meeting last night. It was believed that clean-up day, if set forward a week from Junior week end, would be a half-hearted affair. So the seniors, according to their us ual custom, will appear on parade on May 18, and will see that all the frosh burn their caps, and that certain enter prising members of the class exper ience the thrills of a dip in the senior fountain. Seniors are urged to sign their pledge cards and turn them in to the gift cam paign manager. They were* also asked to place their orders for commence ment anouncements and for caps and gowns, at the Co-op. The next senior meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 8, when a permanent class secretary is to be elected.

The last four years are devoted to the actual study of the practice of medicine. Two degrees are granted in the seven year course—a degree of bachelor of art or science at the end of four years and a doctor of medicine degree at the end of the seven-year course. “THE HINDU” TO BE TTRRTi Mr. Walker Whiteside will come to the Heilig Tuesday, May 8th, in “The Hindu,” a mystery melodrama of the Orient, in which he triumphed last year in both Chicago and New York. “A glamorous adventure filled with surprises and thrills,” is the way the New York Evening World descirbed “The Hindu,” which is reported to be the only mystery play today that does not depend upon a murder. The story is said to be a straightway tale of my stery and villainy; occidental love and oriental passion; theft and violence, all told within the confines of a gor geous palace. His magnificent record as an actor and a producer, will recall his notable performances of Hamlet and Richard III. Junior Varsity Vanities Act Written by Imogene Letcher “Mummy Mine,” the head line act at the Varsity Van ities, was written by Imogene Letcher, well known student in the University school of music. Musical comedy en thusiasts have seen it pro duced in the rehearsals and have been unanimous that the songs .included should be pub lished. The opening chorus, “From Egypt’s Darkest Shores” is sung by a group of pretty Oregon girls, picked after careful tryouts for their abil ity to sing and dance. The costuming is elaborate and the setting colorful. Catherine Lyon will sing, “Couldn’t You Find a Shelter for Me?” the second of the song group and “There May Be Something in It After All,” will be presented by Frank Wright and the chorus. Josephine Ulrich and Lyle Palmer do a clever dance and Mummy Mine, the title_ IMOGEN!! LETCHER song, will be presented by Wayne Akers, Florence Garrett and Marvel Skeels and the chorus.

NEW COURSES OFFERED FOR SUMMER SCHOOL “Physical Sciences Colloquim” Will Present Modern Viewpoints Of Interest to Students Through the cooperation of the de partments of physics, chemistry, and mathematics, a new type of work will be offered at the summer session on the campus this year which should have a strong appeal to advanced students as well as to research workers in these fields. This course, known as the “Phy sical Sciences Colloquim,” will present modern viewpoints on several topics on the borderlands of knowledge which are of deep interest to students of phy sical sciences, such as the problem of atomic structure, the quatum theory and the theory of relativity. Instructors from the three depart ments concerned will join in direct ing the course. In addition the follow ing courses will be correlated with the Colloquim; Vector Analysis, in math ematics; Physical Chemistry, in the chemistry department; and the Elec tron Theory of Conduction and of Mag netism, in the department of physics. Five courses in physics will be offer ed by Dr. Caswell and assistant, while in chemistry, Dr. Shinn and Prof, Tan ner will offer a similar number. Stu dents who wish to meet the lower di vision group requirements, in science may do so by taking full work, either in physics or chemistry, for the six weeks. Four courses will be given in botany by Miss Sanborn. In all three depart ments, the range of courses provides for lower, upper and graduate division. At the Portland session, Professor Sweetser will have charge of the work in botany, including general botany, systematic botany, and probaly, the study of cryptogams. Mr. Thienes, of the University of Oregon medical school faculty, will direct work in chemistry. The courses in this department will in clude general, physiological, and ap plied chemistry. In connection with the department of sociology, it is announced that Mr. Henry O. Grant, Secretary of the Ore gon Social Hygiene Society, will offer a course on Biology and Social adjust ments.

MASON, Architect Drawn by Hugh Ferriss the new architecture expresses itself in great vig orous masses which climb upward into the sky with a pyramidal profile—gigantic, irregular, arresting. An earlier, conventional building on the near corner is overshadowed, engulfed in towering masses of the newer building which are prophetic of an architecture of the future which is vividly stimulating to the imagination. Certainly modern invention—modern engineering skill and organization, will prove more than equal to the de mands of the architecture of the future.
