Norman Larabee Intered as aeccmd clans matter at the post office at Eugene, Oregon, nnder act It Congress of March S, 1879, The New Art Museum QN FRIDAY evening, March 13, the Eugene branch of the American Federation of Art will give a benefit dance in the Woman’s building, the proceeds to go toward the new Art museum to be built on the southwest corner of the campus. This means that the advantages of such a building are being recognized by persons of the town as well as those of strictly University interests. , The cultural value of such an institution would extend not only to Eugene but to the state. Students in art would have the inspiration of seeing beautiful objects in an har monious environment. The spirit of beauty in the abstract is all very well in its way, but it can be given a residence at the University of Oregon with substantial dollars to pay for solid brick and mortar. The need of a fireproof building to house the magnificent Warner collection of oriental art is evident. The destruction of works of art by fire in the summer of 1922 is a lesson which we should not have to learn twice. Professors who saw the work of years go up in smoke when the old Arts building burned were among the first to speak with approval of the new structure. There is the Dorland Robinson fine arts collection, work of that brilliant young woman, which has been given to the University. This, too, should have a permanent “home.” When the works of art which the University has already acquired receive adequate housing, other gifts will find their way in the general direction of the new museum. It is an op portunity for building up a genuine art center, an appropriate background for study and for art interests. With the idea of having museums and galleries as a back ground students go abroad to study. The idea is a sound one, for the surest way to know how a thing can be done well is to see what has been done well. Eugene will possibly not develop over night into Paris, as a place to pursue art and beauty, but there is no reason why it should not seize the opportunity to become a center of art in the state of Oregon, and in the west. Broadcasting Education 'JpiIE EXTENSION division of the University is to give its radio service lectures beginning next month. It seems to the Emerald that this is an important milestone in the influence of this educational institution throughout the state. True, those who graduate, and go out into the state making good, take edu cation to the state in a very telling way. But this is, strictly speaking, indirect. The development of the science of radio is making possible a direct communication with the state, whereby a free short course can be taken. An ideal situation would be that in which the broadcasting could be several times a week, instead of once a week on Fri days. Under the ideal situation a more intensive program could be carried out. The every-day citizen could hear expert economic advice, the business man could hear the principles of business expounded, music-lovers could hear concerts by the orchestra and men’s and women's glee clubs. Each branch and department of the University could-play a part. Such a program would not only be rendering the state a service, but it would aid the University in many ways. It would clear up some of the lack of knowledge of its activities and put it in a simpler relation with the citizens of the state who are supporting it.

THE ASSEMBLY “AUDIENCE” To the Editor: A speaker at a recent assembly, in upholding college students against newspaper attacks, stated that he believed that most students were greatly interested in religion, and that they discussed it at every opportunity. In the speaker’s ad dress, the students had a good op portunity to listen to an able dis cussion on the trend of modern re ligion. Let us look at the following facts noted noted during the speaker’s lecture: Among the 250 or 300 freshmen in the balcony, approximately 5 per cent listened to the speaker, three slept in their seats, between 12 and 15 read newspapers, and one read a magazine. The remainder talked among themselves, or used some other means to divert their thoughts. Among 68 under classwomen, one worked a crossword puzzle, one appeared to be constructing a cross word puzzle, one checked her bank balance, four wrote letters, two oc cupied themselves with magazines, three read newspapers, four or five were taking notes, apparently on the lecture, two were reading po etry, between 10 and 15 wore listen ing to the speaker, and the remain der were studying. Among the eleven persons count ed in the sophomore men’s section, one worked a cross word puzzle, one read a magazine, and three or four seemed to give the speaker their full attention. Of the 21 men in the junior-sen ior section, two were reading. Among the upper classwomen about 20 per cent were reading or writin g. In the sectien reserved for facul ty members, one of the 17 persons was asleep. One wonders what the rest would Wave done had they followed their inclinations. Was the speaker wrong, is this typical of assembly audiences? OBSERVER. OHIO STUDENTS RECEIVE SPORTSMANSHIP RULES Ohio State University.—Teaching true sportsmanship by moans of handbills is an innovation being adopted at Ohio State university. At a recent basketball game, 7,000 handbills with five rules of good sportsmanship printed on them were distributed am>ng the student pres ent. However the bill did not sto^ at more elementary instruction in being a good sport; they deal also with smoking, fairness, courtesy and hissing. Further instructions on the bills defend the right of the coach to do his own coaching. At the Theatres «$>-,$> HEILIG—Tonight and Tomor row, “The Thief of Bagdad,” the outstanding film of a de cade.

MEXICO’S FIRST ENGLISH' LIBRARY BEING ORGANIZED Cornell University.—Students at the University of Cornell have been asked to contribute to the first English library to be founded in Mexico. The library is being or ganized 'by the Friends of Mexico society, and will be maintained as a separate unit, to the University of Mexico. It is for the benefit of the many foreigners in that country speaking English, and the Ameri can students who visit there each summer. It will be known as the Abraham Lincoln library. NORTH CAROLINA PREPARES j WAR RECORD OF GRADUATES Universtiy of North Carolina.— The university had about 1,200 men in the military service in the world war, which was about 20 per cent of the total number of living alumni. The central office of the general alumni association is preparing a history of these men concerning their war record to be issued on a basis of advanced orders. SMOKING ROOM DESIRED BY 200 VASSAR WOMEN Vassar College.—A late question naire at Vassar showed that 200 wo men favored a smoking room. This rather startling fact was brought to light as the result of a ques tionnaire on smoking which was sent to students at the college. Of the 957 women reporting, 433 ad mitted that they smoked, while 524 stated they did not use tobacco. Of the smokers, only 302 declared they had the permission of their parents to indulge. From these reports, 131 smoke on the sly.
