Final Workout Of Track Men Held Saturday Slow Time Record Result Of Early Condition Of Runners Tryouts Show Promise of Hurdle Team Competing on the first ideal day for a track meet that has come around this spring the varsity and frosh cinder men practically com pleted the winter training last Sat urday with the most successful com petition held yet. Events Slow The races for the most part were slow but that was due to the early condition of the men. Times were taken, but were not announced by Bill Hayward. There 'was, how ever, some fairly good pre-season times recorded. The varsity 80 yard hurdles was won by Tuck with a good lead over Cleaver at the finish. That brings more strength in the stick events and will probably mean that the Oregon team next spring . will be relying on the two hurdle events to garner points.

The Oregana 1 __ Library (Continued from page one) conclusions drawn from the report. “As you will notice, the number of circulation books for Amherst is 19,483, for the University 89,117. But these figures do not include re serve books, which are largely used for reading assignments. Therefore, the report would imply that stu dents take these books out as a mat ter of choice. They would seem to indicate that you are really studi ous. I believe that the large amount of reading done is not. the result of assignments, but is an indication of the sincere desiTe of students to ac quire knowledge.” “Of course,” he continued, “this desire is strengthened by the ef forts of Mrs. McClain, of the cir culation department, who displays the new books, calls attention to the works of prominent people visiting the campus, and gives out lists of books added to the library from time to time. The professors also call attention to the excellences of various literary, scientific and edu cational books in the library, and thus help to create in the student a desire for the best in different fields of intellectual activity.” When asked what benefit he thought there was in extensive read ing while in college, the librarian said that aside from knowledge gained from practical experience, most education comes from books. “A great amount of learning ob tained from the perusal of good books will be a tremendous aid to the student in his career after leav ing college.” “The University faculty is aware of these facts,” Mr. Douglass said, “and so are those in charge of the library. We are all trying to aid the student to get the best out of his years at college.” .“Do you believe in a wide rango of freedom in the selection of books?” he was askod. Mr. Doug lass resumed his comfortable posi tion with his legs propped against the wall. It seemed to aid him in thinking. “If a student is to be broad minded, he should have access to all sides of a problem,” he said at last. “I believe that the averago college student is able to reason suf ficiently to arrive at a right conclu sion. Aside from suggestive, un wholesome literature, which should be excluded. I believo that the test of a good book is whether it is well done. The present tendency is to regard a book as worthy of a place in the library if the author has treated his subject in an able way. His viewpoint is* considered of no consequence.” The librarian turned once more to his desk. “Of course,” ho con cluded, “it is impossible to have books on all subjects in a library of this size, but we do our best to pro vide all books which are of interest to the majority of the students. And now if there is nothing more,”—he glanced at the papers on his desk. ANNOUNCEMENT Psi Kappa announces the pledg ing of George Hitter of Portland. FOR SALE Corona Portable Type writer. Terms.

No definite reason for this increase of interest in the books of French writers has been given, ex cept that the death of Anatole France might perhaps be responsi ble for the recent demand for his books. The students have been reading moro French literature since the be ginning of the school year. The li brary has ordered a large number of translations from the French au thors, especially thoso translations of books which have won prizes.
