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.

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

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

IN BASEBALL WORK
_ i
Practices for women’s doughnut
baseball are going on now, and the
houses are urged to get their prac
tices in early. 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

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.
