VOLUME XXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1924 NUMBER 12 6 PUNS DETAILED OF NEW CAMPUS Location of Contemplated Buildings Revealed by Architect’s Description ARC.H TO BE DECORATIVE Juncture of Rail, Trolley and Water Will Mark Entrance to the Grounds Architects’ plans for the develop ment of the Greater University are drawn, the following descrip tion outlining the New Campns. with Memorial Court and adjoining structures. The Memorial Court will be lo eated on the highest ground at present owned by the University, •outh of old Kincaid field. Two large cottonwood trees near T 11th avenue east have been selected ae marking the official gateway to the University. At this point rail trolley and even water transporta tion, meet. A concentration of the main traffic ways of Eugene to this street will divert traffic now coming through University property and so avoid jeopardizing the lives of the students. Prom the gateway, which will someday, no doubt, be marked by a suitable Memorial Gate—one will pass due south for 1,600 feet, to the colonnade to form a back ground for the Memorial Court, and serve as a decorative feature of the main facade of the Auditorium. New Contrasts Old The open space north of the pres ent Law and Commerce buildings will be landscaped, respecting the beauty of the trees already there. This will serve as a foreground to the University buddings—bojth of the old campus, marked especially by Deady hall, and the new cam pus, which is to be terminated by the Memorial Court. Passing south from the Memorial Gateway, among the many class trees and landscape features, and between the Law and Commerce buildings, which form the entrance pylons to the new development, and crossing 13th avenue east, will be seen on the right a building sym bolizing Science, and on the left a similar building, the Liberal Arts, marking, in this new campus, the humanities. Union Location Described A slight change in grade brings one to the lower terrace of the Memorial Court, flanked on the right by the Library building, and on the left by the Museum build ing. The Court is marked at its entrance by the University flag staff, which will be on an axis •roesing the new campus, running from the future Domestic Arts building, incorporated into the Woraen ’a Dormitory group on the east, to a building on the west of Kincaid street, which the Univer sity architect recommends for the Students’ Union. Passing through the lower terrace of the Memorial Court, by the •facades of the Library and Museum for a distance of 260 feet, one will approach the second terrace, which marks a second axis crossing the main campus, and passes to the east between the Woman’s building and Susan Campbell and Hendricks halls, but which is screened from them by a covered arcade. An imposing flight of steps to the south of this second Terrace gives (Continued on page three) STUDENTS WILL HAVE ARTICLES PUBLISHED Two more students in the trade journalism class have been success ful in placing stories with trade publications.

Coach Widmer will attempt to put out a stronger team next year, and has issued a call for wrestling aspirants to turn out for spring practice, commencing Monday afternoon. Widmer would like to see the green men start this spring, as it will give them a good chance to pick up funda mentals before next season opens. Robertson, Whitcomb, Ford and Wells, this year’s lettermen, will be back next year with thei experi ence gained from the past season. They by no means have their places cinched, however, for Chatburne, Sumption, Peterson, members of the varsity squad, and other strong grapplers will turn out next season for a berth on the team. Rising from the freshman ranks, Fakuda, Woods, Wingard, Laura. Christen son, Josephs and Leavitt will be eligible for the varsity. Wingard and Christenson are out for base ball and probably will not turn out for spring wrestling training. Laurs received a dislocated elbow in the meet with the rooks and it will be some time before he will be in con dition. Several good prospects, entered in the doughnut championships, expect to be out on the mat this term. With spring football ending this week, there will ber several heavy weights who will turn to wrestling to keep in condition. During the past season, Widmer was short on light-heavy material. However, he expects to see a better showing of the heavier men this spring and next fall. O. A. C., although losing but one letterman, has began spring train ing, hoping to cop the Northwest title again next year. | ADVERTISING CLUB HAS THREE NEW MEMBERS I At a meeting of the advertising i club at the Anchorage yesterday' noon, Jason McCune, former man-1 ager of the Oregana, and John Dye. manager of “Old Oregon,” were elected to membership.

Ten University girls are teaching these classes. The schools are at Lone Pine, San ta Clara, Dunn, Coburg, Olenwood, ('reswell and two at Springfield.

Scandal Sheets Fail to Arrive at Destinations Wrong Addresses Are Held to Blame The University recently re ceiver! notice from the post master in Portland indicating a largo number of grade shoots mailed out about a week ago did not reach their proper destina tion. This, he explains, was duo to faulty addresses. In many cases there was no designation as to what section of the city the papers should go, whether to the northeast or the southeast part. “Scandal Sheets” weret sent to addresses in the northeast when they should have been sent to the southeast part of the city, the postmaster said. The registrar’s office would be glad if the students would check up oa their addresses so as to avoid such confusion in the future. Students who have failecl to give the proper designations in their addresses should call at the office for a change of address slip. PLANS ARE FINISHED FOR MASONIC BUILDING John M. MacGregor Is New President of Group Plans for the erection of the Craftsmen’s club building, to be con structed near the corner of Four teenth avenue and Kincaid- street, were taken to Portland yesterday by John MacGregor, new president of the club, to be submitted to the grand council of the Masonic lodge for fin al approval. Although it is prac tically a certainty that the plans will be accepted as they are, there may be some minor changes made in the arrangemnts. An appropriation of $15,000 was allotted by the Masons for the club building some time ago, but the act ual plans and designs of the struct ure were completed just recently. There is an additional allowance of $1000 a year for three years, to be used as a maintenance fund for the upkeep of the grounds and building and an allowance of $2000 for the purchasing of fixtures and furnish ings for the olub and committee rooms. \ The building is to be of brick and of old English style. There is to be a full basement, fitted up for the heating plant, and ,rooms for the caretaker. The attic will not be used, but is to be constructed so as to per mit the addition of another story, if need is found for it. Construction is to start as soon as the plans are approved by the grand council and the contract is let. “The club bulding is to be a very fine structure and will be a credit to the Oregon campus," said Professor Edwin T. Hodge, who is one of the committee in charge of the plans. JUDGE ELECTED HONORARY MEMBER OF PHI DELTA PHI Judge L. T.

It is part of history in the making as preserved in a scrap book for ihe school of architecture and allied arts. These scrap books, in uniform black bindings, have been kept by Miss Camilla Leach, art librarian, who took up that work in 1916. The) first notebook, be gun in 1917, likowise. contains clip pings, catalogues and mementos ex tending back, to the beginning of the school in 1913. Studio buffet suppers, announce ment of awards, news now gay, now tragic—all is recorded. A menu card, “Programme du Grubbe Fete,” has each dish illustrated— the roast is particularly fetching with even a bell on the cow. A series of portraits done by the students, possibly at some festivity, form a section of the< first scrap book, carefully labeled “President Campbell,” “Larry Schroff,” “Geo.
