TRAFFIC 0N.13TH IS BIGPROBLEM Legal Phase of Question Must be Considered NEW ROUTE IS SOUGHT Outlet for Southeastern Eugene is Necessary “There is no object in attempt ing to close Thirteenth street to public traffic uirtil some street has been opened, or some route found to accommodate the residents) of the souther* portion of the town,” said Karl Onthank, secretary to President Campbell, when ques tioned concerning the expediency of limiting or barring traffic through the campus. Members of the administration are working to that end and hope to solve the problem soon, he said. Thirteenth street- has long been a cause of disturbance to profes sors who hold classes in the com merce building, Oregon building and the administration building, according to members of the fac ulty. Heavy gravel trucks with open cutouts, teams and wagons, and other heavy traffic pass almost continually and hinder the progress of class work. If traffic could be eliminated altogether and a new route found, the campus would be come more desirable and conducive to uninterrupted concentration, in the opinion of some professors. Traffic Artery Needed The finding of a route which will take the place of Thirteenth street is the main difficulty, according to Mr. Onthank. There are no streets open between the University cam pus and Nineteenth street at pres ent, and as ^et Nineteenth street has not been paved. Thus Thir teenth is the only street by which residents southeast of University street may enter the city with any facility. At present, faculty members who are interested in the plan are con sidering the possibility of finishing University street through to Eleventh. Here, the problem of getting right-of-way from the rail road company arises, but it may be possible, Mr. Onthank stated, to ob tain permission to use a narrow strip of the railroad property and cut away enough of the embank ment to allow for the construction of a road of appropriate width. In that event, traffie from the south of the city could be routed down University street instead of con tinuing through the campus. Also, traffic from the city could be di verted up Eleventh. Law Problems Considered “It would be a great thing for the University if the street were elosed to traffic, but there are sev eral legal aspects which must be considered first,” said Dean H. G. Hale, of the ,school of* law. Dean Hale said that he would investi gate the case thoroughly to deter mine what difficulties the Univer sity would have to contend with. He believes, however, that if suf ficient reason could be given for such procedure, the city council would have the power to close the street to traffic. “One has to be very careful when it comes to limiting the rights of the public,” said. Mr. Gilmore, city recorder and police judge. In bis opinion, there should be a more weighty reason given for closing traffic than the fact that Univer sity officials wish the route through the campus given to them. The public, he said, is very easily an tagonized and do not take kindly to the curtailing of their freedom, consequently, it rests with the Uni versity students and administration to prove that there are valid argu ments in favor of such a move. ilLPUBLICAN CARAVAN TO. VISIT UNIVERSITY The Coolidge-Dawes caravan will arrive in Eugene, passing through the campus about 6 o’clock tonight. They will be met in Cottage Grove by an escort of Eugene citizens when they arrive there between 3:30 and 4:00. * Darwin Bristow, chairman of the Lane county Re publican Central committee, talked with John P. Cowans, director of the tour at Grants Pass last night. “We are glad to get into Ore gon,” Cowans said. “It is a wonder ful state and when we meet I«can tell you how delighted we are to be here. We have been more than hospitably received.” Students will be welcome in the escort which will start from Eugene about 3 o’clock. The entire party will return by way of the campus, on the way to the hotel. At 8 p. m. there will be a meeting at the arm ory where members of the caravan will address Eugene residents. Stu dents are invited. The two principal speakers will be the Hon. W. A. Jefferis and Her bert L. Moore. Moore was a child hood playmate of Coolidge’s. Music will also be on the program. Eu gene residents and members of the campus Republican club have ex pressed the desire that a large num ber of students greet the caravan as it comes down 13th street from the highway. HDDS HEW FEATURE Perforations Make Filing j More Convenient Oregon Exchanges for November | is off the press today and will be j ready for distribution this week. A j new feature of the paper is the! perforations which make it con venient for filing, as is done with the Oregon Voter. Exchanges this month, contain ing 28 pages, includes a number of interesting articles in addition to news of the Oregon journalistic world. The leading article is by an anonymous copyreader who com ments on the use of English, punc tuation, style and the mistakes most common in newspaper writing. Hal E. Hoss, president of the State Editorial association and editor of the Oregon City Enterprise, has written an- article on a trip he made through Oregon, during which time he visited 70 newspaper offices and covered 3000 miles. Another feature of the paper is an appreciation by Ben Hur Lamp man of the Oregonian, of the later Addison Bennett, a co-worker on that newspaper. There is a State Editorial association department edited by President Hal E. Hoss, and nearly half the paper is devoted to bits of news of interest to the newspaper people. OREGON COMMUNITY HUS ORATORIO SOCIETY A community that boasts an ora torio society, the members of which are residents of the town and sur rounding country, is toW of by Rex Underwood, instructor in the school of music, on his return from Col ton, Oregon, where he and Mrs. Underwood assisted in; a concert given by the Colton Oratoria so ciety. Both the community and school is musical, says Mr. Underwood, and the members of the society come long distances on horseback in order to attend the practices of the oratorio, he was told. The founder of the society, Mrs. Mil dred Anderson Hult, gives free piano and vocal lessons, for which the people of Colton are most ap preciative. The- concert given Saturday, Oc tober 25, in which Mr. and Mrs. Underwood assisted, was declared by them to have been most unusual and that it was a great pleasure to have been privileged to attend it. The oratorio is given every year by the society, which is composed of 50 members. The chorus gave three groups, among which selec tions from such noted composers as Gounod, Woodward . and Mozart were given. EXTENSION STUDENTS AT NEWBERC ORGANISE Correspondence students of the University extension division at Newberg, Oregon, have recently formed an organization for the pur pose of discussing their correspond ence work. According to Dr. Dan Clark of the extension division, this is the first time that such a plan has ever been tried out in this state, although to his knowledge it has been working in Florida and Texas for some time. • The group selects one of their number to lead the discussion group and by this means they carry on their work. Two groups have been organized, one in psychology and one in Oregon history. Mozelle Hair, of the correspond ence department visited Newberg a week ago and started the work. The students will study over their lessons before they go to class. While in class they will take up the various points and discuss them as is done in any ordinary quiz sec tion. The returned papers with their comments will also be dis cussed. C)he Xnfant Qrodigy * * He Gets Homesick for Mr. Hearst * * To Edward Miller, managing editor of the Emerald. Eddie, old ink-pot: Well Eddie, I come from a coun try where the Klan just hates the Jews and Willie Hearst hates them both—that’s why I always sort of held a downy spot in my heart for Mr. Hearst, Eddie. But this is beside my point Ed die; I merely wanted to compliment you on the way you showed this campus what a real Hearst Scan dal Sheet looks like, Eddie. It sure made me homesick when I saw your , sheet yesterday morning. There’s nothing like picking up a paper that makes you think the printer must have blushed when he set the type and you can hear the headlines still hoarse from th'eir howlings. Now Eddie, some people will tell you that your front page there looks like an add for Prunella or Carter’s ■ Little Liver Pills, but you just stick with it and shove the news down their throats, headlines and all, Eddie. Just like Sir. Hearst—huh, Eddie? Those two boxes on the front page is what caught my eye. Of course, some people might think this looks like you. just lost your nut and daubed too much ink on that front page, but I wouldn’t pay any attention to them. We’re ar tistic Eddie, and I’d as soon see the whole campus dissapprove of your make-up and you stick to your rights. Maybe I should have addressed this letter to Don, but people tell me you juggle the type. Keep up the good work and congratulate your staff for me. Che'erio, “Hank” Sweet, ’28. P. S. That “Hank” is just a nick name, Eddie, but it’s what I like to hear my friends call me. REPAIR SHOP OPENS TO AID APARTMENTS Considerable increase in the shop facilities of the department of chemistry has been made this fall, according to Prof. O. F. Stafford, head of the department.
