MILLION DOLLAR LIBRARY DESCRIBED BY LAWRENCE New Building to Be Constructed on Unit Plan; Will Accommodate University Student Body for Many Years Plans for Oregon’s greatest need —a new library—were disclosed yesterday by Dean E. F. Lawrence, head of the school of architecture, "•ho hr.s been largely responsible for the laying out and designing of the University’s new’ $5,000,000 plant. Dean Lawrence paints a picture that will gladden the heart of every student who has pored over his books in the present structure, built in 1904 to furnish accommo dations for 600, and now in a whole sale fashion serving 2,400 people. Vision a building 220 feet long, 200 feet deep, architecture of a type embodied in the present Law and Commerce buildings, with am ple room to provide spacious read ing, reference and seminar rooms, binderies and stacks, for a Univer sity of probably 10,000 students, and you have in substance Orogon’s now $1,000,000 library. The structure, which is to stand or* a line with the Law building, and on the approximated location of the Cemetery ridge ball diamond, is to face east. In form, it is to be a rectangle with two separate courts cut within the reictangle to provide light. Tentative plans provide for a low’er floor of the building devoted to book room, seminar rooms, the bindery, and special libraries. The upper floor, which is to be two stories in height, will be* the main reading room of the library. This one room will extend across the en tire front of the second floor. The center of the building will be used as a large stack room. Only the first unit of the build ing, costing around $400,000, is planned for near future construc tion. This unit will include the front facade and the stack room. As the University grows, wings will be added until the building is complete. Three entrances are provided. The front entrance, which in the re studies is to be more pretentious than shown in present plans, is to be the main artery. A north en trance will lead to one of the wings of the proposed memorial court, and a south entrance will lead to the Science building. The library is to be preceded by the $100,000 unit of the new Science building, which will be placed on the south side of 13th avenue east, between the present Law building and the library. Dean Lawrence hopes that the library, which is a part of the alumni campaign goal, may be the next to go up after the science unit. The actual order of construction has not been de cided. G. E. CONVENTION HAS FIRST SESSION TODAY University Students Doing Work on Committees The opening ceremony of the an nual state convention of the Chris tian Endeavor societies will be held at the Christian church at 7:30 tonight. E. P. Gates of Bos ton, who is in Oregon to prepare for the world convention to be held in Portland next year, will be the speaker, and Elaine Cooper, state president, will occupy the chair. University students who are in charge of committees are: Dallas Rice, reception committee; Portia Kid well, director of the conference Friday and Saturday; Mary Guiley, conference leader Friday and Sat urday; Helen Andrews, entertain ment committee; and George Springer, chairman of the finance committee; and Arthur Everetts, in charge of the ushering. ‘ Students of the University who have graduated and taken up Christian wrork in various sections of Oregon are: Elaine Cooper, ’22, state' president of the Christian Endeavor; Walter L. Myers, ’18, a professor at the Eugene Bible Uni versity, who will speak at several (Continued on Page Two.) FEES MUST BE PAID BY SATURDAY MOON At the end of business Tuesday, 507 students had paid their fees at the business office. Approximately 200 or more paid their fees yes terday. This means that the last minute rush will be extra large this term. There are only today, Friday and Saturday forenoon left out of the week in which to pay fees. It is very necessary for all students to see that their fees are paid, ac I cording to the cashier, because this i term, those who fail to pay will 1 not be warned and only those pay | ing fees will receive credit for their I courses. | -' SENIOR SERVICE DAY PLANNED FOR JUNE 8 Sernior Service day of the Univer sity Y. W. C. A. will be held June 8. This event is one of the more impressive ceremonies directed by the association. The senior women in their caps and gowns, and the offi cers of the association dressed in white form a procession which march es to £he Condon oaks, where the ser vices take place. May 24 has been selected as the day for the annual senior breakfast, which is also given by the Y. W. C. A. Details and committee workers for this event will be announced later. Request Comes From Bengal For Correspondence Studies The director of the Bengal Insti tute of Arts and Science of Bengal, India, in a recent letter to the ex tension division of the University, re quests that the people be allowed to carry on correspondence - study with the University of Oregon extension department. There is a great need, says the Ben gal director, for a course of this kind. A large number of people are dissatisfied with the instruction now offered because of the nature of the courses, which are confined to scien tific, technical, and agricultural sub jects. The aggressive population is anxious to secure congenial or better paying work or to teach employed per sons the science of their trades or professions for enabling them to start at good salaries in chosen voca tions. “Only the correspondence • study serves the needs of these people,” wrote the director. The people with the aid of the instructors at the in stitute, will select the courses they desire. The Bengal Institute, says the di rector, has no intention to realize any commission from the University, or to charge the students except for post age and extra expenses for conduct ing the work. Their motive is fully based upon public service by the es tablishment of university instruction in the homes of as many people as possible. In reply to the request it was sug gested by the extension division that nstead of the people enrolling hrough the institute that they enroll directly with the University. MAY 7 IS DATE FOR ELECTIONS Nominations Will be Held at A. S. U. 0. Assembly on Preceding Thursday NO CHANGE NECESSARY i - i ^ Dark Horse Year Predicted by Veterans on Campus; Aspirants to be Out Soon Formal nominations of candidates for next year’s student body of fices will bo held at an A. S. U. O. assembly, May 1, and elections will be held the following Wednesday, May 7. This is according to the announce ment made last night at a meeting of the student council. These dates are in accord with the student body constitution and, although 1 there had been some talk of mak j ing a change this year, the consti j tutional rule will hold. Election Talk Slight Up to this time there has been very little election talk and due to the- Student Union drive, which will come only a short time before elections, it is probable that the usual activity will be concentrated 1 into a shorter time. Hue to what is considered by campus political veterans to be a great lack of outstanding men in the field of prospects, there has been a general belief that this will be a “dark horse year.” This may mean that a number of candidates may appear from the ranks of the j unknown, say those who are closest I to the situation. Next week, or .the week follow ing, at the! latest, ' should see the announcements of the first batch : of contenders. The main group of ! aspirants are not expected to ap ; prjtr until the week just boforo i nominations. Order of “O” Dance May 16 The only other act of the coun cil, besides the one setting the dates of the nominations and elec tions, was to declare the night of May 16 as “Order of the ‘O’ Night.” A dance will be held at that time, the proceeds of which are to go into a fund to help sick or in jured athletes. A number of cases have come up whpre technicalities prevented help being given where it was needed and this money will be used in instances like these. NEW TRAFFIC SIGNS PLACED IN DRIVEWAYS Blue painted signs similar to the city parking signs and bearing the words: “No parking in the drive way,” are being posted about the campus driveways. These driveways are always lined with cars, a condi tion which, according to H. M. Fish er, superintendent of the University buildings and grounds, is very dan gerous in case of fire when the trucks could not approach the build ings. An eight-foot cement walk leading from Thirteenth avenue east to the Sociology building will be put in soon by the campus workmen, Mr. Fisher said. Y. W. TO HAVE SPRING TEA-ROOM ON APRIL 22 The annual spring tea-room of the University will be held this year on April 22 from 4 to 6 o’clock in the bungalow. Home - made cakes, cook ies and pies as well as other forms of pastry will be the dainties on the menu. This tea is one of the larger social events of the student association. Funds raised from the sale of the pastries will be used towards send ing delegates to the Seabeck conven tion this summer. ZETA KAPPA P8I INITIATES TO PUT STUNT ON TONIGHT Tonight at 7:30 in the Woman’s building, members-elect of Zeta Kappa Psi, womem’s national honor ary forensic fraternity, will enter tain the members and campus women with a pre-initiation stunt, the nature of which has not been divulged. It was to have been given last week, but postponement was necessary. All girls and women who care to attend are invited to do so. I Grace Edgington, Alumni Secretary, Resigns Position j Grace Edgington, graduate of i 1916, alumni secretary, and editor of Old Oregon, lias resigned lieir | position at the University and ex pects to leave the campus when i the present school year is over. She intends to give up alumni work i and teaching permanently, and for | the next year at least will make her j home in Central Oregon, where she j has a small ranch. Miss Edgington came to Oregon in the fall of 1(120 from the Uni versity of Washington faculty, where she had been the three pre vious years. Her stay hero was interrupted by one year’s leave of absence (1921-22) which she spent mostly in visiting college campuses in connection with Theta Sigma Phi, women’s journalism frater nity, of which she is a national of ficer. During that year, Jeannette Cal kins, '18, was acting alumni secre tary, and Erma Zimmerman Smythe, ’19, issued three numbers of Old Oregon. The alumni work has developed considerably in the last four years, Old Oregon growing from a quarter ly publication, six by nine inches alumni, so that they hear from the in size, to its present nine yearly numbers, each of which carries ap proximately three times the ma terial that the old quarterlies did. The work of record keeping and alumni correspondence^ has grown in proportion. Instead of an edi torial staff consisting of one, the editor, Old Oregon now regularly carries the work of six department editors. It has also become an il lustrated magazine, having carried its first picturci in the spring of 1921, something of a departure from its previous formal tradition. Her reasons for leaving, Miss; Edgington says, are that she is not especially interested in the business and office routino which requires virtually seven-eighths of her time. She is mainly interested in the edi torial end, but she thinks it will be several years before this can be the business of one person. MisB Edgington says that in every other respect her work has been increas ingly pleasant. “I believe it very important that close relations bo maintained with (Continued on page three) MRS. MURRAY WARNER ! OFFERS AWARD OF S2S Prize Will be for Winner in Bookplate Contest A $25 prize for tiie beat book ' plate, to bo used in the Oriental library of the Murray Warner museum, tins been offered by Mrs. ' Murray Warner. No dato has been j set for the closing of the competi tion; and no judges have boon | chosen as yet. “I have left the contest entirely in the hands of the faculty of the school of architecture and allied arts,” Mrs. Warner said when in terviewed. The bookplate is to have as a motif a Chinese gateway in Japan, j indicating the Chinese influence in I Japanese art and architecture.j Photographs of the gactway are to | be seen on the north wall of the art and architecture library in the Architecture building. Two rules only have been givon for the bookplate: (l)Leave largor space for the name of the collec tion; (2) leave smaller space at the bottom of the plate for the library numbers. FIRST REPORTS SHOW CRAWLS NET $62.50 Reports from 15 women’s houses show that receipts from the (lime crawl amount to $62.50, so far. Fivo hous es have not yet reported how much they received. The money derived from the dances is to be turned over to Jeanne Gay, chairman of the for eign scholarship fund, for use in this department. These dances are I to be given monthly, during the remainder of the spring term. MILLION AND HALF IS SPENT FOR STADIUM University of California—The Cal ifornia memorial stadium recently dedicated at the University of Cali fornia, cost the student body approx imately $1,500,000, of which $529, 951.92 has been assumed by the Asso ciated Students as a deficit to be written off with surplus funds from athletic activities. Football at the University of Cali fornia in 1923 brought in a net sur plus of $193,210.30, of which $120, 000 has been applied on the stadium deficit. PROFESSOR H. B.

The schedule for the games is to bo made out next week. Due to the fact that the men’s var sity team is using the women’s dia mond on Kincaid field until the new one is ready, practice room near the Woman’s building is limited. Girls are asked to do much of their prac tising in vacant lots and yards until the field is available. FINAL VOLLEYBALL GAME TO BE TODAY The final doughnut volleyball championship game among women’s houses wlil be played this after noon at 5 o ’clock between Susan Campbell, team 2, of League II, and Delta Omega of League* I. The game played yesterday between the faculty women, champions of League III, and Susan Campbell, team 2, resulted in a 2 to 0 victory for Susan Campbell. Tryouts for class volleyball teams are to begin today. Junior and senior tryouts will bo this after noon and the freshmen and sopho more are to practice today and try out tomorrow. “VAH” CHORUS BY DUBOIS TO BE SUNG AT VESPERS The famous “Vah” chorus from '‘The Seven Last Words,” by Du bois, will be the special anthem rendered by the University choir at vesper services next Sunday at the Methodist church. The solo number has not yet been decided upon. CINDER ARTISTS GREATLY NEEDED Strength in Field Events Is Offset by Weakness of Material Out for Races SPEAROW MAY SPRINT Quarter - Miters’ Showing Is Best; Hurdlers Are Improving Since Winter A review of Oregon’s chances in the field events creates a feeling of optimism concerning the success of the track teem this year; but a scrutiny of the material loft com peting for places in the racing squads at least dims this feeling of confidence. The distance candidates have dwindled until on four men rest the* hopes of Oregon points in the mile and two-mile conflicts. Mc Coll and Tetz are still with the ship, is tho way Bill puts it, while Stevenson and Keating were work ing hard, but both have been ill tho last few days. In the 880, Coach Hayward says he has several good men in the making; but Gerke and Maunoy, of last year’s freshman team, might bo considered fho only veterans. McCune and Houston have both been trying out at this distance, find may find themselves in this race. Hunt Doing Bettor In the liurdles, the only events ior which there appeared no pros pects last, spring have now become one of the strongest point gainers of the races. Kelsey, last year’s star freshman trackster, is showing his okl form over the sticks; Hunt, who won his letter going over the higb timbers last year, is improv ing materially, according to the coach. C.'irruthors is also showing well. Rosenburg, who was dis covered during the rein of the rub ber-topped hurdle tryouts last win ter, is still working with this team and is bidding fair to make a namo for himself as a hurdler. There is potential strength in Oregon ’s -140 crew, according to the roach; and lie may attempt to make distance men out of some of the aspirants. Kinney, Ben Lucas, Rose braugh, Ager and Risley is a crew of veterans that would look good on any man’s team. Risley is a two year letterman, while Ben Lucas and Art Rosebruugh have both won their monogram as 440 men. Dash Chances Poor Conditions are almost as desper ate among the sprinting crews as among tho distance men. Marvin Lucas and Snyder are both inex perienced men, though as such are doing remarkably well. The loss of Art Tuck to this crow is indeed felt; for Tuck was one of the fast est mon out, before injuring his knee. Bill, at present is working Ralph Spearow in tho sprints—“And Spcarow has possibilities as a sprinter,” he claims. “Saturday will be the big train ing day for all track men this sea son,” is the way Bill puts it. He has listed competition for all candi dates working out in the 440, 880, shot-put, hurdles and sprints. This includes both freshmen and varsity candidates; and Coach Hayward asks that all those unable to turn out then will tell him so before hand. FORMER STUDENTS TELL OF ENGAGEMENT The engagement of Edna Bush man, ex ’24, and Graham Smith, ’19, was announced at the home of Glladys Anderson, 1442 Pearl street, Tuesday evening. Cards bearing the news were hidden in miniature lests of Easter eggs. Miss Bushman attended the Uni versity two years ago, but was not enrolled this year. She is a mem ber of Alpha Phi. Mr. Smith is sit present engaged in the archi tecture businoss. He is a member it Sigma Chi. The wedding will take place in August.
