ONTHANK, EARLY EDITOR,
TELLS OF EXPERIENCES
(Continued f rom Tugc One)
lier's financial genius we made
money on it.”
Andrew Collier, now a leading
business man of Klamath Falls
and a member of the state legis
lature, was manager of the Ore
gana when Onthank was editor. He
also managed the Emerald when
the executive secretary pushed the
blue pencil.
The university was rather dif
ferent then. There was an en
rollment of about eight hundred,
and the only buildings on the south
side of 13th street were the presi
dent's residence and Mary* Spiller
hall, which had just been com
pleted.
The football stadium used to
occupy the space on the south
side of 13th street west of the site
of the adminstration building. Af
ter a good hard rain the field was
something of a mess. ‘‘It was al
most necessary to apply first aid
methods to resuscitate the fellow
who was on the bottom of a pile
of players,” Mr. Onthank remark
ed, “because he generally was be
low the water level of the field.
Those were the days when offic
ials would argue for a couple of
hours before a game about the eli
gibility of the players. In the
meantime the players were ready
to chew nails.”
Many of the traditions which
we have been regarding as as an
cient as the university are not so,
according to Mr. Onthank. “Tbe
underclass mix which was abol
ished this year was originated the
year I was junior. The Oregon
seal „ in front of jVillard hall was
put in later. The senior bench,
came abo°ut the same °time. My
class ^eft the fountain which is
used for ducking purposes on jun
ior week-end.” 0
Mr. Onthank studied engineer
ing for the first three years he was
in school here; he switched to edu
cation. and graduated with French
as ms major.
Douglass Buys
New Books With
Student Levies
Many New Volumes Added
To Shelves Since
September
Oregon Library Is Rated
Among Nation’s Best
University students paid $1,476.
53 last year in fines, and 711 books
were bought with the money. The
average amount spent on each new
book was $2.07.
There has been a total of 2990
new books added since the open
ing day of school this fall, Sep
tember 23. The last additions
were received yesterday, 37 vol
umes of Germania with two sup
plementary volumes, and some old
issues of the New York Herald
Tribune, dating between 1843 and
1846.
Many Books Owned
The library now owns 196.3S4
books, pamphlets, maps, pictures,
and periodicals. That is enough,
if divided, to give each student on
the campus 65.4 books apiece.
Compared to other universities in
the United States, Oregon ranks
28th in number of books. ' The
Harvard library ranks first with
2,784,300. Yale is second with
1,902,512, and Columbia university
ranks third with 1,132,236. The
Harvard library is 14 times as
large as the Oregon library.
Douglass Hero 21 Years
M. H. Douglass, librarian, has
been working for the library for
almost 21 years. He said that 20
years ago there were 16.000 vol
umes in the library, and in the
1928 annual report, there were
193,39S books listed, representing
an increase of 1108 per cent over
a period of 20 years.
The ‘ old libe, minus the stacks,
in 1908, housed besides the library,
the economics, political science,
history, rhetoric, and correspond
ence departments. Now the li
brary has the addition of the
stacks, and is scattered in nine
different buildings on the campus
Quite a difference! The enroll
ment then was 614, and last year
the enrollment was 3,128, 48 times
as many students now as then.
More Time To Study Now
The students in the old days had
better excuses for not having
their lessons on time, if these fig
ures mean anything. The “libe"
in 190S, was open only 47 3-4
hours a week, and now it is open
94 1-2 hours in the course of a
week. This shows that students
should have 98 per cent more time
to get better grades, for the in
crease was that much in the num
ber of hours the library was open
per week.
In 1908, the library received
10.3 per cent of the university’s
total income, in 1928 it had gone
down, receiving only 9.3 per cent
of the income. The amount ex
pended for boojrs. periodicals, and
binding during the 20 years of
Mr. Douglass' sojourn, as librar
ian, was $310,000.
G. S. Turnbull Gets
More Office Space
As a result of changes made in
the Journalism building during
Thanksgiving vacation George S.
Turnbull, of the journalism facul
ty, now is occupying a larger of
fice than formerly.
The changes consisted in remov
ing a partition between Mr. Turn
bull’s former office and a small
room used chiefly for magazine
files, and combining the two into
one room, forming the present of
fice.

AT THE McDONALD—
Young romance more gripping
than "Seventh Heaven," more
touching than "Street Angel,”
that's "Lucky Star,” Janet Gay
nor’s and Charles Farrell's latest
co-starring attraction. Both Miss
Gaynor and Farrell have tender
young voices that give more than
ever an impression of youth to
their work.

AT THE REX—
One of the best horror stories
yet appearing as a "Talkie” thril
ler is "The Mysterious Dr. Fit
Manchu" at the Rex. It is hair
raising all the way through, and
the rise to climactic culmination
unusual and truly artistic.

AT THE NEW HEILIG—
Norma Talmadge, whose list of
cinema triumphs is almost unlim
ited, again appears in “The Wo
man Disputed” at the new Heilig.
Of course every woman, co-ed or
otherwise likes to be sought and
fought over, but it takes the glor
ious Norma to give lessons in love

AT THE COLONIAL—
Norman Kerry comes to the Co

Ah, Boy . . .
Now, really there is a

a good shine is as
