WORK DN GOURTS
PROGRESSES WELL
Two Ready Junior Week-end;
Piping and Wire Goes
Up Next Week
Work on the new tennis courts near
Hayward field is progressing rapidly and
at least two of them will be ready for
use by Junior Week-end. The crew at
work arc laying the surface on some of
them now and with about ten days in
which to harden, the courts can be used.
The piping and wire will be put up
next week on some of the courts. They
are completed one at • a time and as
soon as the first two are finished there
will be an additional one ready for use
each week thereafter until the ten are
completed.
The courts are to be standard tourna
ment size and will be as nearly perfect
as any can be made. There will be no
tennis courts on the Pacific coast that
can compete with them when they are
finished, Dean John F. Bovard said
yesterday. When the whole 20 courts,
that the plan calls for, are finished Ore
gon will have as good a tennis sytem as
any University in the country, he said.
There are several interesting features
not found on most tennis courts. The
drainage gutters between the courts will
earry all water off and leave a dry sur
fact at all times. They are perfectly
level in the playing direction and the
Blight slope that is necessary to drain
off the water is from the center toward
the sides so that the player is always
playing on a level court and not up
hill as on the ordinary courts.
Each will be entirely enclosed so that
balls from neighboring courts cannot in
terfere. The gates will be of steel and
the netting will be extra heavy instead
of the common chicken wire usually used.
Several drinking fountains will be in
stalled for the benefit of players.
Another feature not generally found
is the solid slabs of cement. Most courts
are marked off in squares to prevent
cracking but the surface on these will be
absolutely smooth so that there will be
nothing to deflect the ball. Heavy wire
is laid under the cement also to prevent
cracking and ruining the surface.
There will be adequate water provided
on each so that they can be washed off
each day. A man will be hired for this
purpose and he will keep the courts per
fectly clean so that particles of dirt will
not accumulate to cause players to slip.
Every thing about the courts is built
for permanence. Dean Bovard estmates
that they will last at least 30 years. The
building of them is only a part of the
general plan for a number of athletic
folds i.nd the new gymnasium that will be
built in that section of the campus.
Y. W. C. A. MEMBERS TO
GO TO SEABECK MAY 9
Picnic Is Arranged For Those Who Plan
To Attend Annual Convention;
Florence Buck in Charge
For the University women who plan
to attend the Seabeck conference, as
well ns for those who are interested in
the event, and for members of the com
mittee having charge of arrangements
for the affair, a picnic has been set
for Wednesday, May 1), according to
anouncement by Florence Buck, chair
man of the Seabeck committee. Those
who plan to go on the picnic are asked
to sign up at the Y. W. Bungalow be
fore next Wednesday. Although no
place has as yet been selected for the
picnic, the girls going to the affair will
meet at the Bungalow at 5 p. m., on
Wednesday, and it is thought that a
hike will be taken to some nearby place.
The purpose of the picnic is to arouse
interest and enthusiasm among the Uni
versity women over the Seabeck con
ference and to discuss the plans for
the trip. The conference is scheduled
for June 2d until July b at Seabeck,
Washington.
Sixteen women from the campus
have signed up to go to Seabeck, and
twenty more have expressed interest
in it and stated that they may go. The
conference this year will be of unusual
interest, as several speakers of national
prominence will talk. Also a list of
sports including swimming, canoeing,
hiking, golf and tennis have been ar
ranged for the girl’s recreation per
iods.
Those who have stated that they
would attend the conference are: Mrs.'
George Bolder, Miss Dorothy Collier,
Miss Louise Davis, Mrs. W. M. Case,;
Mary Clerin, Helen Andrews, Charlotte
Winnard, Marian Linn, Elizabeth j
Phelps, Edna Largent, Eloiso Buck,
Virginia Keeney, Jane Campbell, De
Loris Pearson and Eugenia Zieber.
DELEGATES WILL VISIT
Library Association Representatives
To Be Quests At Luncheon
At the regular library staff meeting
held at the Anchorage Friday noon,
plans for entertaining delegates from
the Pacific Northwest Library Associa
tion which meets in Corvallis Juno 11
were discussed. The idea of hL H. Doug
las, librarian, is to invite as many of
the librarians who will bo in attend
ance at the conference as can cowo
to Eugene following the close of the
Corvallis sessions and bo the guests of
University library and possibly the Eu
gene library which will be askod to co
operate in carrying out the plans.
A luncheon will be given for the
visitors under the direction of Mrs.
Edna Datson at the Women’s ’•'•'ilding.
The plan as it now stands would be to
take the guests in cars about Eugene
and the campus. Plans are under way to
arrange for the transportation from
Corvallis of the librarians who care
to visit the University. It is expected
that about 50 will take advantage
of the Library’s invitation and visit
the campus June 13.
PUTNAM LEAVES FOR
POSITION IN PORTLAND
Appointments Will Be Made Next Fall;
Present Work Carried On
By Members
L. P. Putnam, secretary of the Y. M.
C. A., left for Portland yesterday where
he will fill the position of director of
church activities for the First Presby
terian church. Dr. Harold Leonard Bow
man, minister of the church with which
Mr. Putnam will be affiliated, is well
known among the students and faculty
on the campus. Dr. Bowman will be
here on his annual visit to give a series
of addresses at the Y hut on May 9,
10 and 11.
A new secretary for this spring will1
not be appointed, according to M. H.
Douglas, librarian. A new appointment
will be made next fall and in the mean
time it is planned to have the work
carried on by the boys who belong to
the Y. M. C. A., assisted by Rev. Mr.
Bruce J. Giffen, pastor of the Presby
terian church, and Walter L. Myers, of 1
the Eugene Bible University. Both will i
have office hours during the day and
with the assistance of the boys and Mrs.
Donnelly, hut mother, the work can be
carried on.
At an advisory board meeting last
night the members of the advisoryj
board presented Mr. Putnam with a |
small electric table lamp as a farewell
gift to show their appreciation of his j
work here.
The advisory board approved the ac-1
tion of the Y. M. C. A. members in their '
suggestion that they have a separate;
budget from the advisory board bud- j
get. The members are undertaking to j
raise money to pay all the expenses of
the hut activities except the salaries of
the secretaries. These expenses will in- j
elude telephone, stationery, newspapers,
special stenographic help, games and j
speakers. The members are planning |
to raise more than $800 for these .
things.

century ago, was “the

CzarfAlexander I and Napoleon
