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.

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

Universtiy of North Carolina.—

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.
