OLD OREGON WILL APPEMU1E H Commencement Number Tells Story of Graduation and Orations of ’97 An account of an old fashioned com mencement with a list of the fourteen orations delivered, will be a feature of the Commencement number of Old Ore gon, appearing on the campus on Juno 14. The story was written by Laura Mil ler of Portland, a member of the class of ’97. and contains among other things a list of 14 orations, which were given at the commencement exercises on that day. These ranged in subject matter from “The Omnipotence of Thought,” “The Omnipotence of Char acter,” “The Posers of Nature,” “The Wings of the Soul,” and “Liberty En gulfed in the Seething Waters of Poli tical Chaos.” “Commencement in those days, was second only to the Fourth of July,” says Miss Edgington, “and people came for miles around, whether they had sons and daughters graduating, or not.” Another feature will be a picture of Opal Whitely, the author of “The Story of Opal,” who has lately published a new book of poems entitled “The Flow ers of the Stars.” Miss Whitely was at one time a student at the University of Oregon, for a period of three years. There will also be an article by Judge R. 8. Bean of Portland, who is coming to the campus to celebrate his fortytfifth Commencement. Judge Bean was for 38 years a member of the board of regents of the University, 25 years of which he sorved as president. He has had five sons attending the Uni versity, four of whom are graduates of this institution. A picture of the class of 1893 as freshmen, will also appear in the issue. “Mrs. L. H. Johnson and Elizabeth Stevenson's mother aro the only two I have recognized so far in the picture,” says Miss Edgington. Plans are already underway for next year’s Old Oregon, according to Miss Edgington. A medical section with news from the Medical School in Portland will be a new feature. “The poetry page will probably be continued,” says Miss Edgington, “since that one section has attracted more interest from alumni than any other one department. Wo are also hoping for a number of articles from Herbert Thompson, ex- ’96, who is a member of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce Publicity Department. His article on Eugene in 1890 was one of the most popular features and a large number of calls were received for the issue in which it was published.” A department of campus comment and criticism will also be a new feature of next year’s Old Oregon. “I have been rather disappointed in the response from the alumni this year,” added Miss Edgington, “but I believe that it is because they are not in the habit of hearing from the alumni association so often and therefore they do not respond as often as they shold. However tlu\ alumni magazine Jw*ill continue to bo run ns a monthly next year, and will not decrease in size but will probably be larger.” ALTSTOCK WINS CONTEST Second Place in Extempore Speaking Held by Eagy and Robbins ft - Prances Altstock won first place in the extempore speaking contest held in Villard hall last evening. Clarence Eagy and Edward Robbins tied for second. Altstock will be awarded the first prize of ten dollars, while honorable mention will be given those who tied for second place. The subjects of the speeches were restricted to topics of state, national, international or scien tific interest. Miss Mozelle Hair, Dr. M. K. Cam eron and Professor Donald Barnes acted as judges. Eight students, all members of the extempore speaking classes under Professor 0. D. Thorpe and Aileen Cooper, spoke at the con test. The speakers and their subjects fol low: Reese Wingard, “All Within the Law;” Shelby Carter. "Is the Campus Over Organized!”; Francis Altstock, “Why We Are in College;” Irwin Adams, “Conservation;” Wayne Meek, “Race Suicide;” Edward Robbins, “What Radio Means to the Blind;” Florence Walsh, “Child Health;” and Clarence Eagy, "The Twentieth Amend ment.” ORAL EXAMINATIONS TAKEN Six Medical Students Successfully Try ( for M.vsters Degree Six students from the University of , Oregon Medical school in Portland took their oral Master’s examinations last | Friday.

UNIVERSITY CATALOGUE COMING OFF THE PRESS Edition of 58,000 Copies of New Book Will be Printed; Changes in Style Made The first run of the 1923-1924 issue of the University catalogue came off the University press last night. It is expected that it will' be the latter part of June before the entire 58,000 copies will be printed and ready for distribu tion. There will be several changes in the style of the book this year, according to Mrs. George Fitch who edited the catalogue. For one thing it will be larger and of different typographical style. There will also be a change in the courses listed, in that courses listed as A, B, and C must all be taken before credit can be given as they will be year courses. It takes about three months to make up the catalogue, as courses must be checked up to see if they are given at proper term and if they are going to be given. Heads of departments must also rewrite their statements. The catalogue is primarily for stu dent use, but a copy is sent to all the high schools to the colleges listed for exchange and to faculty members of the University. There is no charge asked for the book. JUNIORS TO SION CARDS All Juniors who expect to obtain degrees next year should go to the reg istrar’s office before the close of school and fill out “an application for degree card.” This will enable the of fice to check up on their records in the summer and tell just what credits they lack towards obtaining their degrees. It will not only be doing the registrar a favor but will be of material aid. in outlining programs for next year.

SUMMER CONSTRUCTION WORK TO BE EXTENSIVE Location for New Heating Plant Causes Great Deal of Moving and Tearing Down of Campus Buildings The carpenter shop will be one of the busiest departments in the Univer sity this summer if all the construction work on its program is carried out. The Extension building, the Post office, the carpenter shop, the “pest house” and the infirmary are to be moved to make room for the new heating plant, according to one of the men employed in the construction department. The men employed on the work could not tell which buildings would be moved first or where they would be placed. It is probable, however, that the old infirmary building will be mov ed across the alley, and the Extension building moved to the present site of the infirmary and “pest house.” The old repair and carpenter shops in the rear of the Extension building will be moved or torn down to make room for the new heating plant. These buildings as well as the “pest house” are very old and probably will be torn down. A new heating plant was deemed necessary when the old plant near the Sociology building, was unable to heat all the buildings comfortably last win ter. Work of tearing down the old plant will begin as soon as the heat is not needed in the buildings. Scaf folding has been placed on the smoke stack preparatory to the work of razing the plant. DEBATERS TO SELL BARS Campus Will Have Chance to Cool off for Ten Cents June 7 Ice cream bars, 90 in the shade and exams seem to go together. The first two we have because we like ’em and the last, we have because we must. The weather man promises a nice warm day for next Thursday, June 7, and Zeta Kappa Psi, women’s debating so ciety, will furnish the ice cream bars. Girls will be stationed at all points of vantage on the campus and will sell the dainty confections for the small sum of 10c a bar. Remember the day—Thursday—and don’t forget to bring you dimes, say the orators. STUDENTS STUDY BY MAIL Correspondence study for May showed 41 students enrolled in 47 courses, according to Dr. Dan E. Clark, of the extension division. There were 51 students who completed 55 courses during May, earning 155 term hours of University credit. These hours cor respond to the average number earned by ten students on the campus during one term. Pew students taking corres pondence work fail in their courses, said Dr. Clark. This is usually because students who cannot keep up their work withdraw rather than fail in a course. The STRADIVARA “Known for Tone” Just the phonograph for the house. Beautiful models in all sizes.
