Book by Ervine Is Sequel to
“Merchant of Venice”
Among the newest books to ar
rive at the library are a number of
special interest. Several plays and
poems are among this latest col
lection as well as fiction. “The
Lady of Belmont,” by John G. Er
vine, a play in five acts, deals with
the characters of “The Merchant
of Venice,” after the closing of
the play, and takes up the married
life of the characters. Portia, not
getting along nicely with her hus
band; Jessica, pictured with many
lovers; and Shylock getting into
all kinds of complications, makes
the play a most amusing one.

CHANG GIVES VIEWS OF
UNIVERSITY SOCIAL LIFE
Korean Believes Student Union Necessary
for the Cementing of Friendships
. By D. S. Chang
“How many students have you
got acquainted with since you en
tered this University?” some one
asks me. Well, I know two Korean
boys, because they are my fellow
countrymen. One Indian, two Chin
ese, and some Filipinos. They all
come from the Orient. I know Dean
Allen, because he is the dean, and
Professors Turnbull, Casey, Thacher,
because I am taking the classes
they conduct. But they are not
students. As for the American boys
and girls, I do not know whether
I have got acquainted with more
than 20 or 25. I have had no oppor
tunity to make friends with them.
How could a strange boy on the
campus get acquainted with the
American boys without some special
organ of social life, such as Student
Union or Union building?
Bather strange, it seems to me,
that so frank and open-minded
American boys and girls do not
understand what the value of social
life is—I mean a social life on the
campus. Some one says that there
are more than two thousand stu
dents in this University. I believe
it may be true. But who does
know it except the registrar? Per
haps he knows it well on the
records! Yet the mere numbers on
the records can not make, or does
not mean “social life” among the
students. The “hello!”, a peculiar
thing to this University, is surely
sweet to call and to hear. It makes
j me, a stranger in this American
soil, feel quite at home, and I like
! to put it on my lips every-morn
ing when I meet the students on

TESTING MACHINE PIT
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
The concrete pit in which the school
of architecture new testing apparatus
will be placed is being made in the
former boiler room of the old heating
plant. The machine which will go in
the pit is to test the durability of
wood, concrete, and steel which is to
be used for architectural purposes.
It is capable of pressure of 30 tons.
A new cement sidewalk, eight feet
wide, will be built within a few days
between Thirteenth avenue east and
the Sociology building, according to
H. M. Fisher, superintendent of the
campus buildings and grounds. The
task of filling in the ground west of
the Oregon building will be resumed
within a few days, Mr. Fisher said,
but at present the University team is
GWLADYS KEENEY TO GIVE
SENIOR RECITAL APRIL 24
Gwladys Keeney, a senior in the
school of music, will give her gradu
ation recital at the Woman’s build
ing, April 24. Miss Keeney has
sung several times at assemblies
and is well known on the campus.
A similar recital will be given April
29, by Annabel Denn, who is a
piano student. This will also be
held in. the Woman’s building. Miss
Denn has already given a gradua
tion organ recital.
MATERIAL FOR “HER” ISSUE
SOLICITED BY “BROWN JUG”
Brown University—The “Her”
number of the “Brown Jug,” the
humor monthly of Brown univer
sity, will be put out by feminine
contributors from colleges all over
the country as the regular March
issue of the magazine. The re
quirements for contributions are
that they should be original and
should be received by the editor of
“Her” number, Brown Jug, Provi

15, 1924. Four gold and two silver
eharms will be offered for the best
contributions from the feminine
contingent.

call hello to each other? Nd, it
does not mean anything more than

“■Why,” some one would say,
“there arei so many fraternitites, j
clubs, class-meetings, and student ;
bodies, and often, such things as
dancing and many other social

Don’t these mean that there is

Where is such a thing as the

University? And the Union build

ture halls, but not a single room
for the purpose of our own social
life. As the University has its
Ad builling on the center of the
campus, so I hope that wo may
have our own Union building built
among the grand trees and green
lawns, so beautiful and refreshing,

COLLEGIATE BARBS IS
MEW GROUP FORMED
Seattle, Wash.—Students enrolled at
O. A. C., Leland Stanford, Jr. uni
versity, and Uuniversity of Wash
ington, have formed an organization
nown as the intercollege barbs, it was
nnounced today.
The organization, the announce
ment stated, will be open to men and

ffiliated with Greek letter fraterni
ties or sororities.
KAPPA ALPHA THETA
Lot Facing Golf Links Is
Chosen for Location
The contract has been let and work
will begin immediately on the new
Kappa Alpha Theta house to be lo
cated at Eighteenth and University
trects. Originally the sorority had
planned to build on its lot at Four
eenth and Alder, but inasmuch as
ho tract was desired for the Student
Union building, it was decided to
give up the lot and dispose of it to
he University*.
A slight change was necessitated
in the plans of the house in order
hat the architecture might be ad
justed to the new lot. W. R. B. Will
ox, architect, has completed the new
plans. The house will face north
overlooking the present three-hole
golf course. It will be of stucco,
hree stories in height, contain seven
een studios, and room for thirty
four girls. There will bo two sleep
ing porches, a tiled sun porch on the
outhwest, off the living room, a spa
ious chapter room in the basement
nd shutters on the windows. Dan
Fisher of Eugene is the contractor.
The Sigma Nus will be able to
move into their new residence on the
mill race by the middle of May, it
was stated by a member of the frater
nity. It is rumored that a number
of organizations will begin building
n the near future, and many are
ontemplating tho purchasing of lots.

University both by letter and
through Old Oregon frequently,”
Miss Edgington commented yester
day. “To keep such contact means
a terrific amount of detail labor. In
the still hazardous job of financing
the alumni office, the work of the
Old Oregon business manager has
been exceedingly important. Jean
nette Calkins was the mainstay of
the office for several years. This
year, in her absence abroad, John
Dye, a junior in advertising, has
been invaluable. It is not an ex
aggeration, I1 think, to say that
two-thirds of the campus interest in
Old Oregon is due to his efforts.
He has never been content to stop
with the problem of advertising, it
self a difficult question to solve.

Spring Eating
Spring weather isn’t the weather of efficiency. It’s hard
to keep up the pep and energy necessary to do good work.
But the work has to be done.
The best way to get rid of the tired feeling that comes
with spring weather is to eat the right foods.
Vegetables and fruits are the “right foods” for spring.
They tone up the system; they make energy. House
managers will find in our large assortment of fresh vege
tables and fruits the secret of satisfactory eating for
the spring term.
