EDITORIAL All-Oregon Exposition The proposed University of Oregon .Fine Arts building, next on the program of campus con struction, will be thrown into the focus of pub lic consciousness next Monday when the All Oregon 1925 Exposition opens for one week in the civic auditorium in Portland. The Expo sition, an elaborate display of Oregon’s art and industrial products, is being staged for the benefit of the newly planned Fine Arts struc ture. » » » * Under the able leadership of Mrs. George T. Gerlinger, regent of the University, more than 10,000 workers over the state and over 200 clubs and organizations have been enlisted to insure success of the Exposition. If plans of Exposition directors materialize, $100,000 will be obtained from this source and from private gifts; construction of the first wing of the Fine Arts building, ultimately to cost $300,000 will begin within a year. # » • * Because of the love President Campbell held for all things beautiful, the new structure will j be dedicated to the memory of the late Execu- | tive. It is fitting indeed that the memory of Prince Lucian Campbell should be honored by a building devoted to the arts and constructed by the gifts of hundreds of his friends. y ; # # # * The enthusiasm; with which the people of the State are responding to the Exposition is brilliant proof that fine arts are appreciated as an essential to a well rounded University. Patrons of art may well bo happy at the eager response the Exposition is receiving. • • » * As for success of the venture—we can only be highly optimistic. Mrs. Gerlinger has already given a world of proof of her ability; the Woman’s building, coinplotod in 1921, is the result largely of her efforts. For her unceas ing work and for the labors of her many co workers the University will over bo grateful. A Billion Dollars Universities nml colleges throughout the United States are starting building programs this fall involving expenditures' of more than a billion dollars, according to estimates made from buSlding reports published by varioifc schools. The University of Pittsburgh, with its plan for the erection of a $10,000,000 Cathedral of Learning, heads the list for expenditures on single buildings. The University of Wisconsin will spend $1,300,000 for a new student union building. St. Mary’s College, at South Bend, has just completed a new $2,000,000 dormitory. The University of Texas will build two new buildings at a cost of $200,000. A new woman’s industrial arts building and addition costing $1,500,000, will be constructed by Miami University. The Univ ersity of Arkansas will spend $675, 000 for two new buildings. Oregon Agricultural College includes the con struction of a new woman’s building and a new pharmacy building in its program at a cost of $475,000. Ten million dollars will be spent during the next year in the development of the MeClintock Memorial campus at Northwestern University. Carnegie Institute has just completed a new I $400,000 gymnasium. Work is under way on a new $200,000 gym nasium at Illinois Wesleyan. Mount Holyoke College, South Hadloy, Mass., is erecting a $1,000,000 laboratory. The University of Chicago has announced an $11,000,000 building program for the next two or three years. The University of Illinois will launch a $2,000,000 program this fall that will bo com pleted by July 1, 1927.—Indiana Daily Student. COMMENTS At Other Colleges A word from Cornell: “Last yeqr the regular operations of the Athletic Association (exclusive of new con struction) resulted in a deficit of over $20,000. Without increased support coupled with strict frugality expenses will have to be curtailed to a point where the efficiency of teams will be threatened. The little white button with the red C shows the wearer is helping and doing his part.” —Paid adv. in Cornel^ Daily Sun. It won’t be at all hard for us to sit in our new grandstand on Hayward at the coming gam)ss and know that the financial end is being taken care of by that new five-dollar-a-term fee. A new hobby has been brought to light at Pennsylvania State College where William S. Hoffman, the registrar, has a collection of 433 different kind® of pocket-size pnat^h b(oxes, gathered during the past five months. Twenty five countries are represented in Mr. Hoffman’s collection. We have with us still: t v K. K. K. “The Kansas University Fiery Cross Club invites all students who are Klansmen to affiliate. The first meeting will be held Friday evening, 8:00, at the local Klan hall. Look for the Fiery Cross.” —Paid adv. in University Daily Kansan. A debate team composed of graduate students from Oxford University is again touring the United States and Canada, evidently with the intention of repeating last year’s success. Cor nell will be the first university in this country to be visited by the Englishmen when it meets •them in debate on October 2. The subject of the debate will be: “Kesolved that, the principle of self determination- is a wholesome one.” The debate will be conducted under the English system of having two Ox ford men and one Cornell man on the affirma tive and two Cornollians and one Oxford repre sentative on the negative. The decision will be determined us it wTas here last year, that is, by vote of the audience. Just ns a reminder that this is only the be ginning of the term and that the fruits thereof lie at the end, we have this bit fo news from the Indiana Daily Student: 223 men and 33 co-eds were denied admittance to the Univer sity of Indiana this fall on account of failure last spring to make passing grades in the mini mum amount of work required by that univer sity. Dig in, Frosh. In general we note (“bigger and bettjDr';” fresh rutin classes enrolled everywhere. Does it mean that forty-nine years lieneo the univer stiy system will break down from sheer num bers—hordes of the barbarians as it were? II. G.

Later on, tasks will be assigned which must be performed to the satis faction of the Aln^ighty Assemblage, with a penalty of ultimate rejection for failure, and the glorious prospect of full membership as a re ward of success. The task of selection proved extremely diffi cult and fourteen times the black ball, rolled by the capable hand of one of the Seers toward the inscribed pins hesitated and deflected its course—declining to make a choice from .such poor material. Finally, after invoking the Powers of the Upper Air and fortifying him self with a good old Swedish oath, Olaf Darnu seized the black ball and with a mighty heave unbalanced four pins, leaving six to shine in the reflected glory of the Seven Seers. "7t* has been ascertained by the Seers that the intelligent black ball, made of the finest teak wood in Lane county, and seasoned in a lumber yard next to a brewery, mowed down the four unfortunate candidates for the following reasons: Don Marquis, because he won’t bring his cockroach with him to Oregon and because be parts his hair in the middle. Mary Jo Shelley because, on principle, we disapprove of highbrows coming from Michigan and telling us how to write poetry. Again, it is suspected that she copies her short stories from the Dial. The Trans-Pacific fliers, because they fail ed to consult either General Mitchell or the Seven Seers before undertaking their flight. Paul Patterson because, although he has watched, in the capacity of student, the University grow from a small and unprom ising institution to one boasting the Seven Seers, he goes to assemblies. The results of the election were very unsatis factory to the Seven Seers, however, as it leaves one more associate member to select, and that > is no inconsiderable task with the mediocre > timber available. However, the Council of the Mighty is tirelessly watching the doings of the ! world, in the hope of discovering the seeds of a | greatness promising enough to conform-with the Seers’ standards of excellence. This thing of being evolved from smoke— ] chemical smoke at that, is a most trying busi ness, and imagine traveling all the way from Egypt in the narrow confines of a puff of smoke, in company with Garbo, who is an inveterate ‘ talker, smokes a decrepit corncob, and likes garlic. In Egypt I had been pursuing my historical researches into the reign of Neter-Tua-Phoey, but my findings were scant and it is impossible to secure The Oregonian in the distant reaches of the desert, so I abandoned the project. I did, however, collect a most choice assortment of historical chewing gum, some of my specimens, of a rich mahogany tone, being among the fin est in the world. I shall place them on exhibit at the All Oregon Exhibition in the near future. One of the most interesting specimens in my collection is Exhibit G, which adorned the lobe of Cleopatra’s shell-like ear while she was being wooed by Prince Kabosh. The following ac count. of that famous occasion is taken from my book, "Egypt and Cigarettes” (G. P. Nutman’s Sons. 1924. Illustrated. 673 pp. $9.00): The Queen received Kabosh in the luxuriously, appointed throne roont, notable for its frescoed decorations of the Gump family. Kabosh threw ! himself or. his face upon entering, skinning his j nose and losing the key to his back door. “Fair Queen," he said. "I beg, I iynplore, I be-i seech—good night, let me get up from this floor, will you. 1 bring you the greatest gift in all • my kingdom, a gift greater than all the jewels of Caesar- doggone him—yds, greater egen than | the Pelman system.” "leah?” said the gracious Queen, parking her chewing gum, which had been worked to a creamy whiteness of the finest texture, behind her left ear, "what is if?” "My heart, fair one.” "Heck, said the Queen,” surveying him coolly, “you got gravy on your shirt—beheaders, i front and center.” » * * * As a newcomer. I am very much in favor of the “Big Sister” plan and am amendable to suggestions. Applicants please send photos. » » ♦ * Tomorrow this colum)n will report the investi-1 gations and comment of several of the Seers, and will undoubtedly merit the most scrupulous perusal.^ Several heads are better than one, just ' as the Seven Seers are better than nnv number of lawyers.

BINGH. 3n §>umty By Lylah Lou MeMurphey After tile hurry and tho excite ment of rush week and the days proceeding, there is a noticeable quietness and spirit of relaxation in campus affairs, but soon the fall activities will begin with vigor and enthusiasm. This evening is reserved for the church receptions, while Satur Iday will bo “open house” night at I the sorority houses. ■ There is a certain thrill old stu I dents get each year when they re turn to the campus and meet new land old ncipiaintancear and this year is proving itself to he no exception, for while society’s chief interest has been centered on ••rushing,’’ which necessitates , that each group centers its attention in its own house, from now on campus affairs of general interest will hold sway. A coming event of much inipor- j tame to college circles is the All Oregon exposition and bazaar bene- j fit for the University of Oregon, which will open October 5 in the Portland Auditorium. Announce ment has recently been made that a ball will be given Saturday night, October 10, as the closing event of the exposition. » * * Much of the entertaining this fall will be given by the various sorority houses in honor of their new house mothers.
