CONCERT HALL TO BE FINISHED Bids for Music Auditorium Are Being Accepted PLAN TO OPEN IN FALL Dean Lawrence in Charge of Building Work The auditorium in the Music building, which everyone has been waiting to see completed, will probably be ready for use by the Opening of next fall term. This is the opinion of Dean John J. Lands bury, of the school of music, and is based on the fact that the build ing committee has accepted bids for the necessary work. Ellis F. Lawrence, dean of the school of architecture. who is at present in the East, 1ms charge of the work. The auditorium will seat about 650, and is to be finished so that it will be the little gem of the whole campus. The main entrance to the music building will open into the foyer of the hall, as will the doors connecting it with the lounge room. Above the foyer is a bal cony arranged so that no one will be sitting beneath it. Acoustics to be Best The plans have been pronounced perfect by the best acoustical en gineers in the country, and a per son on the stage, speaking in his natural voice, can be heard without effort by one in the back of the balcony. It is desired that this auditorium be the one place on the campus where the acoustics will be perfect for speaking and music, and it will be used for speakers of interest to a minority of the students, as well Us for recitals and playsc A glassed-in sun-porch will ex tend on the east side of the audi torium from the lounge room of the Music building on the south, to the stage on the north, and will open into both rooms. This can be used as a hall, thus letting actors have the use of the studios for dressing rooms, as accommoda tions of this sort in the auditorium would be a hindrance to good acoustics. The lounge room will be refinished to fit the color scheme of the later work. Concerts Primary Use The double doors from the foyer into the lounge room and from the lounge room*11 into the part of the building containing the studios, can be thrown open, and will pro vide an excellent passage for processionals, as it will form a long hall from one end of the building to the other. A pipe organ is to be installed in the front of the, auditorium, with an echo organ above the bal cony. The building is primarily a concert hall—thoroughly modern and up to date, and everything pos sible is to be done to make it un excelled.

SPIRITUAL TRAINING Personality Depends on Character and Body “Whatever you do in this .world, I hope you will so take care of your body, mind, character, con science, and spirit that you will have an energized personality,” declared J. Stitt Wilson, former mayor of Berkeley, in his message to the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. cabinet members at a luncheon yesterday in the “Y” hut. “A recognition of those interior admonitions of your conscience and of the spirit is the best way to develop your personality,” he said. Nearly every problem in the world is now a moral problem in the opinion of Mr. Wilson. “You are not going to Slabtown, you are going out into a civilization as big as the world itself, where prob lems are world-wide and heart deep.” Much of the debauchery and troubles in the world are due to a long lack of spiritual training, Mr. Wilson said, adding that he be lieved a revolution in education was coming when the lack and need of spiritual and moral train ing will be recognized. “So many are totally incapable when con fronted with questions that require moral decisions,” was another statement of Mr. Wilson’s. In speaking of the differences of attitude found in Oriental and American institutions, Mr. Wilson said he noticed the Orientals were much more eager for an education and to listen to leaders because both were so hard to get.

TEAM LEAVES TODAY FOR CORVALLIS MEET (Continued from page one) at Seattle two weeks ago. This is the sum of varsity experience for these two. Kinney is a veteran track man who got his start in the east as a 100 and 220-yard dash runner.

Risley is a two-year letterman and a powerful runner who has made a name for himself as a fighter. Captain Spearow and Walt Kel sey will uphold Oregon honors in the pole-vault with very little trouble if they continue working, as they have been doing in practice. , The squad will eat at the Col lege Side Inn at 11:15 and embark from there at noon for the in vasion.

KAHN, Architect Drawn by Hugh Ferriss 'T'HE co-ordination of commercial strength, arch -*• itectural vision and engineering skill which created this titanic quadruple office building repre sents the motive and creative force which has turned the eyes of the world toward this type of American architecture. This, the largest office building in the world, pos sesses fundamentally magnificent largeness in its conception, and a clean-cut directness in its execu tion which place it among the most significant of American ljuildings. With such existing structural achievements no arch itectural future is impossible, no project too vast or too complex to come readily to our imagination. Certainly modern invention—modern engineering skill and organization, will prove more than equal to the demands of the architecture of the future.
