Lack of Dignity Shown in
Careless Naming
CONSISTENCY IS PLAN
Suggestion Made for Pioneer
or Indian Words
Campus custom has received an
other blow—this time at the hands
of a well known professor in the
Latin department.
Professor F. 8. Dunn has for
some time been considering the in
consistent and ungrammatical pro
cedure which prevails on the campus
in the matter of naming University
buildings and in ah interview yes
terday expressed his views strongly
on this evidence of thoughtlessness
on the campus.
Why “Oregon Building?”
“The loose method of naming Ore
gon ’s buildings is not consistant
with the dignity of a university.”
he asserted. “For instance, why is
the building which now houses the
law department and romance
language classes called the ‘Ore
gon’ building? It is not our only
building and deserves no such ex
clusive title. And to hear students
speak of the ‘Ad building’ one
would think that Johnson hali wne
the sanctuary -of the Ad co b in
stead of a building named in mem
ory of the University’s first presi
dent.
"The most absurd of all is the
common name given the women's
gymnasium. Imagine a building
being termed the ‘Man’s building.’
and the incongruity of tlio -Wo
men’s building’ is apparent,. Fie-j
quently this name appears oven
minus the apostrophe, and in all it
is offensive both to good grammar
and taste.”
In registering thiB protest Pro
fessor Dunn added that his greatest
objection to the present lack of sys
tem was that buildings on the
campus frequently bear names
which in no way iudicato their
present purpose or bear any sig
nificance. An example of this is
found on the building which is pro
perly named “Oregon hall,” but
still boars the old inscription of
“Education,” which has been in
evidence over since its establish
ment as the first campus high school.
Concerted Plan Urged
This is both confusing and dis
plays a lack of interest on the part
of those who have this matter in
hand, according to Professor Dunn.
As a remedy he urges that some
concerted plan be adopted in the
naming of all of the University
buildings and suggests such systems
as naming them for their purpose,
or better still, with more imagina
tion and for vurious donors, ad
ministrators, or members of the
original faculty of the institution.
A building named for Eugene, for
the Willamette, for famous pioneers
or memorial to the old Indian names
which are characteristic of this re
gion would all show more cave than
the original colloquialisms which are
echoed all over the campus at pre
sent, Professor Dunn believes, and
ufter these were once established
ami the community made an effort
to use them in place of the undig
nified abbrevations, they would add
materially to the attractions which
the campus offers,
exciting games played
Tri Delta Defeat Alpha Cliis; Gamma
Phis Win Game With Thetas
In a close, exciting game, Delta
Delta Delta defeated Alpha Ohi
Omega last night with a score of 11
to 7. At the end of the tivst half
the score stood 11 to It, with all in
dications that the rest of the game,
would be very close. The Tri
Dolts forged ahead in the last halt,
however, partly through the excel i
), nt guarding of Alberta McMonies.1
Mary Hathaway and Katherine
Franciscovieh deserve credit for |
their work as Alpha Chi centers.
In the other game played last
night, Gamma I’hi Beta beat Kappa
Alpha Theta with a score of -5 to j
1'-’. It was a fairly exciting game,
both teams showing good teamwork,
although it was a little slow on ac
count of lack of practice over the
holidays. Lillian Luders, forward,
and Virginia Wilson, guard, were
Gamma Phi’s stellar players. The
Theta centers, ildnn Murphy and
Marian Playtor, played their posi
tions well.

UNIVERSITY MUSICIANS
ATTEND CONVENTION
Dean Landsbury One of Principal
Speakers; Many Interesting
Subjects Discussed.
The University school of music
was represented at the regular ses
sion of the Oregon Music Teachers’1
association, held last Friday and
Saturday in Portland, by Dean John
Landsbury, Rex Underwood, John
Siefert and Mrs. Jane Thacher.
The next session of the associa-i
tion will be held in Eugene some i
time during the coming year. It i
has been the custom of the assoeia-1
tion to meet annually during!
Thanksgiving week in the various j
cities of the state, but owing to
the fact that this is an inconven
ient time of the year for most of
the members to attend the session,
it was provided in the by-laws that
sessions may be held during any
time of the year, preferably June
or September.
Bishop Walter Taylor Sumner and
Dean Landsbury, who were the
principal speakers, discussed several
interesting current', subjects. One
of the subjects discussed was the
trouble in Portland over the en
forcement of the child labor laws
against juvenile musicians and danc
ers.
Rex Underwood spoke on the
technique of violin playing. Stu
dent contests were held during the
session, and three of the University
representatives who acted* as judges
were John Siefert of voice, Rex
Underwood of violin, and Mrs.
Thacher of piano.

STUDENT-OWNED CARS
NOT A MENACE HERE
Detriment to Scholarship by Use oi
Auto Prevented by Poor
Facilities
i -
Tliat student-owned ears here have
| little or no detrimental effect on
scholarship is the idea prevalent
among the faculty. So few students
'bring their ears to school with them
.here, as compared with some col
leges, that it has never become a
problem. It is a great problem in
many schools, though, as shown by
the recent ruling made in the Uni
versity of Missouri forbidding
students to bring cars to the uni
versity.
“If there were a prevalence of
student-owned cars,” says President
Campbell, “there might be some
tendency toward a sort of class
distinction.” The president feels
that this would probably be the
worst effect of too many cars used
by students.
The traffic element is another
important factor. Mr. Turnbull
thinks that if very many students
brought their cars to college, they
Would have to park them so far from
their classes that the fortunate own
ers might as well walk from home
in the first place.
As for using them for pleasure,
Mr Turnbull insists that, if he has
plenty of time,and some good com
pany, and two miles to go, he would
rather walk than ride. He thinks
that students are usually in fairly
good company, and need the ex
ercise anyway.
Balph Casey, who is also in the
journalistic, profession, and there
fore knows the joys of walking,
thinks that the problem of traffic
would be the greatest one in case
of a prevalence of student-owned
cars. It is, he says, a menace on
the Washington campus, and he
would not like to see it appear here.

SCRIBES ARE HONORED
Three Newspapermen Initiated By
Journalism Fraternity
Fred Lockley of the Oregon
Journal, Albert Hawkins, editorial
writer on tho Oregonian, and Lloyd
Riches, former owner of the Vale
Enterprise, were initiated as as
sociate members into Sigma Delta
Chi, men’s professional journalism
fraternity, at a meeting held re
cently.
Mr. Riches, who is now doing
independent publicity work in
j Portland, was elected four years
ago, but because he lived in eastern

until this year.
EXTENSION STUDENTS
WILL GET TOGETHER
Members to Have Acquaintance
Party Through December
Issue of Monitor
“Have you ever wondered who
your correspondence-study class
.mates are and what they are doing?,
Wouldn’t you like to know more
about them; in fact, have a chance
to get acquainted with them in a
real correspondence get-together
party?”
Such are the questions asked in |
a recent circulating letter sent by j
Mozelle Hair, secretary of extension!
teaching and editor of “The Moni
tor,” to the correspondence students
in the extension division. The plan
is to publish in the December issue
of “The Monitor” from fifty to two
or three hundred words about each
student.
“The scene of this acquaintance
party,” writes Miss Hair, “is going
to be ‘The Extension Monitor,’ and
each student is to bo the chairman
of a special committee to see that
he is represented at this party.”
Each student will receive a certain
amount of space and he is urged to
contribute as a hundred per cent at
tendance is desired.
FEW IN RESTRICTED GYM
Students With Physical Defects
Take Special Training
At present there are 80 students
enrolled in the restricted group of
the physical education department,
compared with the 110 of last year.
Harry Scott, of the physical educa
tion deparmtent, states that the
number fluctuates from year to
year, and no reason can be given
for the change.
The students who are found to
have some physical defect are placed
in the restricted group. They are
taught some recreative exercise so
that if possible the defects may
be overcome and that they
may learn games that can be played
throughout life. Regular classes
are not given but the students re
port to the instructor who outlines
their course of exercise.

STUDENTS MAY UPSET
THEORY OF OVERTONES
Class in Elasticity Will Work Out
Piano String Tones
Mathematically
Professor E. H. McAlister’s ad
vance students in elasticity are work
ing on a problem which, if success
ful. will upset the present belief in
overtones on piano strings.
‘ ‘ At present the theory is that
piano strings are measured for length
only,” said McAlister, “and in this
problem we are computing on the
basis of three dimensions of the
piano strength, length, width, and a
third which we will call the bending.”
The present theory does not ex
plain the peculiar overtones of the
high treble on the piano. It works
out fairly well for the lower sections
and the base, declared McAlister.
Th<* problem is to work out mathe
matically the explanation for this
phenomena.
Professor McAlister explained that
this does not take into consideration
the false beats commonly found in the
high treble of the cheaper grades of
up-right pianos. It is assumed that
the higher notes give a perfect speak
ing quality.
Taking altissimo “C” as an exam
ple, McAlister continued, ‘‘when this
note is struck, according to the com
mon theory, there would be a perfect
overtone of fourths and fifths; that
is, other notes would respond, as “Cl”
and “A”. But this is not entirely
true of this higher section. There
are other overtones which can be
heard. It is these, as yet un-explain
able tones, that we look forward to
Boi.ng mathematically.”
“TWO AND ONE-HALF CENT

P. 1. N. S.)—“Two and one-half
cent carfare or walk” is slogan used
by the students at the University
dl! Washington in their demand for
reduced rates on the city street
jars. The entire student body
coiced its demand by calling a ten
