For Winning Article

Library Finds Unsolved Problem
With Crowded Housing Conditions
The University of Oregon library
tliis ypnr lias an unsolved problem
In fapo in tlm overcrowded eondi
tion of t li<- buildings. Previous
years have seen Hip. same pondifions
prevalent but. not to so marked a
degree as this year, according to
M. II. Douglass, librarian.
“Resides tbc waste of students’
time caused by tliis plight, there
is an added expense in maintaining
the library,” Air. Douglass declared
yesterday. “Three desks in separ
ate buildings are kept operating,
which means a greater outlay than if
thev all could lie combined in one
large building. Rooks are stored
or are in use in eight buildings on
the campus and have to be carted
back and forth from one building
to the other, all of which calls for
a greater library ftirce, and an
added expanse to the university.”
Much time is wasted by the stu
dent, Mr. Douglass said, in travel
ling from one library to tho other.
Homo students have to study at.
the Condon reserve library, the busi
ness administration library, and the
main library. Tt tabes time to go
grom one. building to another, and
studenfs incur a lack of efficiency
in studying as a result.
Condon reserve library seems to
be suffering worst, from overcrowd
ing, and some evenings, 'Tuesday
and Thursday especially, the library
is filled to overflowing. The cap
acity of'the main library also lias
often been taxed, but on the whole
it. shows a less crowded condition
Ilian Condon reserve.
“Checks have been made on the
number of students using the li
braries this year,” said Mr. Doug
lass. The purpose of these check?
is to help us plan the space for a
new library building. By this means
we can judge fairly accurately tlie
amount of room needed for each
department of the library when we
get the new building.

Fencing Squad
Makes Progress
Under Coaeliing
Several Meets Slated On
Winter Term Schedule;
Prospeets Hated Good
Tlie fencing squad is rapidly
rounding into slinpo, and many of
tho members arc becoming formid
able opponents for their instructor,
Warren P. Powell. Most of the
men have mastered the fundamen
tals and are taking up the more ad
vance work.
Next term more individual in
struction Mill be given, and the
teams are to be selected. There are
five men on a team with three al
ternates. A second team will also
be chosen for competition with some
schools. The teams will be selected
strictly on ability, and the length
of time that a man has been out
will not enter into the selection.
Some of the men who have come out
recently have proven themselves
more adept at. the sport than those
who have been out. much longer.
Two men who show fine possi
bilities are Perry Douglas and Win
chester Jleicher. These two prob
ably will be the nucleus around
which the team will be built.
Fencing is open to everyone, and
Mr. Powell is anxious for a large
turnout so that good teams may bn
chosen to represent the university.
Meets are to be arranged with Mult
nomah club, Reed college of Port
land, and possibly schools in Calif
ornia, where there are large turn
outs for the sport.
The classes are held every day
except Saturday at 4 o'clock in
the mat room of the men’s gym.
Forty-five Register
At Pacific Relations
Meeting in Portland
WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY,
Salem, Dec. 10—(P. I. P.)—Forty
five students, half of them occiden
tal and the remainder oriental reg
istered at the Picifie Relations con
ference on the Reed college campus
in Portland recently, it is announced.
TJio conference was sponsored by
thn Northwest Student Council.
The significance of the Pan-Paci
fic conference is that it was entirely
a student enterprise and was the
first meeting of the kind held in
the Northwestern states. The subject
matter, which involved the study of
international relations of the Paci
fic countries in social and inter
racial relationship between the oc
cidentals and the orientals, was
treated as inquiry. The aim of the
conference was to establish a bet
ter understanding between occiden
tals and orientals.
Pour main issues were presented:
(1) There is no superiority or in
feriority among races; (2) Each na
tion should have the right to con
trol its own racial populations; (I!)
It is unwise and unfair that there
should be discrimination between
races; (4) Racial inter marriage is
unwise in most cases. The members
of the conference hoard a number of
lectures on inter-racial problems.
Each lecture was followed by table
discussion.

Hugh Biggs Speaks '!
At High Twelve Club
Hugh Biggs, assistant dean of
men, was speaker at the High
Twelve club’s weekly luncheon Fri
day. In his opinion tax payers are
not wasting their money when they
pay taxes for support of the Uni
versity of Oregon. Most students
at the university, he said, are seri
ous in their studies and are there to
better themselves and take advan
tage of their opportunities.

High Seas Love
Takes Role in
New Rent Book
‘Cameron?s Odyssey’ On
Co-op Shelf; Circus
Yarns Feature Story
Tho latest and best addition to
the “High Hat” library is “John
Cameron's Odyssey,” transcribed bv
Andrew Farrell from the unfinished
story told by John Cameron himself
of his adventures and love affairs
on the high seas.
At the age of 17 Cameron set sail,
seeing the age of the sail pushing
out the age of oars, and also the
most reeent. age of machinery. Most
of his adventures were on the At
lantic, Indian, and Pacific, oceans.
Tn the preface, Andrew Farrell
gives many splendid definitions of
many nautical terms, and excellent
notes describing the various situa
tions and instances throughout the
story.
This 192S edition is illustrated
with photographs as well as many
pen and pencil sketches drawn by
Charles Kuhn.
Another outstanding book which
may also be found on the “High
“PIGS” tonight—Great comedy!
Hat” shelves is “Circus Parada” by
.Tim Tully. It is a story of the
author's own experiences while with
n small six-car circus traveling
throughout the country.
At a very young ago, Tully began
the life of a tramp, a sturdy, red
headed youth beating his way from
town to town, homeless and for
saken. Now ho is living in Holly
wood, writing scenarios.
In “Circus Parade” each chapter
is rat-lier a short story of® its own,
relating his experiences with one
certain man or in one certain in
stance. George Jean Nathan says,
“If there is a writer in America
today who can lay hold of mean
people and mean lives and tear
their mean hearts out with more
appalling realism, Ins work is un
known to me.
