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.

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

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.
