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

STUDENTS WILL HAVE
ARTICLES PUBLISHED
Two more students in the trade
journalism class have been success
ful in placing stories with trade
publications. Margaret Morrisor
has received word that an article
written by her has been accepted
by the “Western Druggist,” a maga
zine published in Chicago. Miss
Morrison’s article dealt with the
successful business methods used
by a drug store in Hood River
Oregon. .
Leo P. J. Munly has a story about
the College Side Inn appearing ii
the April number of the “Westerr
Confectioner,” published in Bar
Francisco. Munly’s article told
how the College Side Inn caters tc
University students’ trade, and
described the place, and its methodi
of business.

TO MEET HERE MAY 3
Writing Societies Will be
Hosts at Program
Tentative plans have been ar- j
ranged for the entertainment of
Oregon writers on May 3, by Sigma
Upsilon and Pot and Quill, honorary
writing organizations. These writers
who will be very largely members
of the Authors’ league, are to be
guests of the University and the
classes interested in creative writ
ing, for the first time.
The purpose of the convention is
primarily for the opportunity of
acquainting writers with the Uni
versity and especially the writing
classes, and to enable students tak
ing writing courses to come in con
tact with the guests.
The contemplated program will
include a luncheon at noon, at
which Sigma Upsilon and Pot and
Quill will be the hosts, and an
afternoon program consisting of ad
dresses and papers. After a ban
quet in the evening, the guests will
be conducted to the Junior Vod-vil.
“In all probability,” stated W. F.
G. Thacher, instructor in short
story writing, “Tabard Inn will
hold a smoker for the men guests
after the performance.”
Members of the committee in
charge of the plans are, W. F. G.
Thacher, C. D. Thorpe* Mable

WIDMER’S GRAPPLERS
GET SPRING PRACTICE
More Light-heavy Men Are
Needed on Squad
After finishing a fairly success
ful wrestling season. 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.

of a paper read by Harold Lee, be
fore a meeting of the Philosophy
club, last night, in the> men’s room
of the Woman’s building.
A sketch of how aesthetics
would be considered from an Hedon- j
istic standpoint, where pleasure
was made the evaluating factor,,
was described. <
Mr. Leo also discussed in his
paper, the separate forms of art
and aspects of taste, showing that
there was no such thing as a con
demnation of one art form.
The meetings of the club are
open to anyone interested, and the
subjects are of general interest and
not too technical.

CAMPUS WOMEN PLAN
PLAY FOR SCHOOL TOTS
Handling the play program of eight
rural and small community schools is
the work of the practice teaching
class in the playground course. Ten
University girls are teaching these
classes.
The schools are at Lone Pine, San
ta Clara, Dunn, Coburg, Olenwood,
('reswell and two at Springfield. Ar
rangements are being made by the
extension department for a big play

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.

‘The Pioneer’.” No, this does not
refer to the present generation of
students to whom the pioneer is a
tradition. 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.
Rebec,” and no end of students.
