Building a Stadium
'T'HEY’RE talking about building a new stadium
-*■ at Oregon.
Hayward field, built in 1919 to house 20,000
persons, is not big enough. It is filled once every
two years. They want to move it.
The University owns a large tract of land out
on Nineteenth avenue that would be suitable for a
stadium that will hold 30,000. Eugene and Univer
sity officials expect to meet next week to talk over
reasons why it should be built.
Students in the crowded, antiquated old library,
in the inadequate chemistry building, or in the
archaic men’s gymnasium read about the new sta
dium. They look around them; they see the need
for other things; they wonder why Oregon talks of
new stadia and greater football crowds when it has
many poor buildings.
If the University were run principally to pro
duce football teams they might understand.
The students do not know how much money it
will cost to build the new stadium. They do not
know whether it would go far to alleviate unde
sirable study and research conditions caused by
poor school plants.
Enthusiasm to aid the University is something
they like to see in the townspeople. It shows a
healthy relation between city and school.
True, the students will not pay for the stadium.
They may be selfish when they voice their protests
against a building program which ignores needs
they feel are more vital.
Since they do not furnish the money, they can
expect little to say in how it is spent. No funda
mental law of liberty is involved.
The Emerald believes it represents the majority
of student opinion on the question of a new stadium.
The students want a larger library where they can
study the year round, not a football stadium to use
two months of the year.
Monday’s Symphony
STUDENTS of the University of Oregon will have
the opportunity of hearing one of the most out
standing musical groups of the country Monday
night when the Portland Symphony orchestra, con
ducted by Willem van Hoogstraten, appears at Mc
Arthur court. The University mixed choir, under
the leadership of John Stark Evans, will appear in
connection with the orchestra.
It is not often that an orchestra such as the
one from Portland comes to Eugene, and it isn’t
often that, students here have the opportunity of
hearing as great an artist as vtin Hoogstraten. The
orchestra is composed of 70 members, but under
his guidance such numbers as Tchaikovsky’s "Fifth
Symphony” and Wagner’s "Meistersingers” are
presented with a unanimity and a spirit that has
won the acclaim of critics wherever the orchestra
has appeared. Van Hoogstraten is recognized as
one of the six most outstanding orchestra conduc
tors in the United States. He has been accorded
many honors, both in this country and abroad, in
cluding an honorary degree of doctor of music from
the University of Oregon. Van Hoogstraten has
appeared as guest conductor of a number of the
most outstanding symphony orchestras throughout
the United States.
A fact that may have been overlooked by many
students is that no price of admission aside from
the student body card will be required at the con
cert of van Hoogstraten and his orchestra Monday.
Each student contributes a certain amount to the
concert fund when he pays ins fees at the opening
of the term. At times in the past it has been
curiously paradoxical that faculty members and
townspeople willingly paid from one to three dollars
admission to the concerts, while students who had
already paid the price stayed away and went in
stead to the library or to the movies.- W. B.
A Winter’s Tale
OUT on the chilly campus yesterday noon a few
birds were hopping around. They had to. They
would freeze if they didn't. The same held for stu
dents.
Kveryone was in a hurry. Cold makes people
that way. They duck their heads against the frozen
rain curtaining down, pull their coats up around
their ears.
Not many of them were thinking of campus pol
itics. Not many worried about tradition. All that
mattered was the beastly weather.
They did not notice the empty steps in front
of the library when 12:40 p. m. came around.
At that hour last term they would have seen
freshmen on the steps. They would see them bend
over and men with yellow letters on their sweaters
would hit them with boards.
It was a revival of a quaint old custom—this
library steps session. No one knew just why they
wanted it. A few felt that Oregon needed tradi
tions. The rest were and are indifferent.
Time was when the Oregon Knights checked
up on the freshman who forgot his lid or smoked
on the campus. But this term ... no one cares
. . . everyone was too busy pulling his coat collar
around his ears- ducking his hfcad fighting the
cold.
Education Looks Up
HERALDED as the outstanding liberal educa
tional movement in the country, the experi
mental college now in operation at the University
of Wisconsin, which is somewhat similar in pur
pose and organization to the upper and lower divi
sions of Oregon, is soon to be discontinued. The
results will be applied to all university curricula
in the eastern school.
Amazing success in awakening students intel
lectually is claimed by champions of the experi
mental college; an intellectual aliveness to educa
tional opportunities.
Working on the assumption that the modern
system of curriculum organization is more or less
of a crazy-quilt, piecemeal affair, the experimental
college made it impossible for students to wander
from one department to another, picking up iso
lated bits of information.
All subject matter outside of science and lan
guages was integrated and the teaching process in
formalized under a staff of scientific, yet highly
educated men.
Education today is producing men who think
objectively and scientifically in their own fields,
but not in others. Education should produce men
who do such thinking in all fields, particularly in
the problems that surround us in everyday life. By
already having in use such an organization of cur
ricula, Oregon has shown itself to be in the edu
cationally active for the betterment of the college
graduate.
The 18th century composer Haydn, according
to a story in yesterday’s Emerald, after meditating
at length on the weaknesses of mankind, injected
into one of his numbers a certain combination of
notes designed to arouse the listener, who was nor
mally in deep slumber at that stage of the concert.
We are now awaiting news of some member of the
University of Oregon faculty adapting Haydn’s
technique to classroom use.—W. B.

Michigan sends her second string basketball

1. The actual meaning of a word is often very
different from its dictionary definition. Shepherd
and sheepherder denote the same thing, but there
is a great difference in the flavor. Vision and sight
are defined in the same way but may have almost
opposite connotations. I venture to say that if you
were to call a girl a vision, you would get quite a
different reaction than if you called her a sight.
2. If a white man were actually white, he
would be a ghastly looking creature.

THAT WORD “HELL”
O. S. C. resents being consigned to Hell by Uni
versity of Oregon students. O. S. C. refuses to
go to hell, and suggests that there may be no such
place anyway. This is in protest against an Ore
gon song, ‘‘To Hell With O. S. C.”
All of which is very natural and commendable
as college spirit, but the meekness of Oregon's
reply is unprecedented and sets a dangerous ex
ample in university relations. The editor of the
Emerald, University of Oregon daily, admits that
hell infers a distinctly distasteful locality and has
launched an editorial campaign toward the cessa
tion of the practice of condemning O. S. C. to the
region.
"Hell still carries with it something of a stigma,"
says the Emerald, "and few people like to be told,
even indirectly, to go there. The students of O.
S. C. have an excellent case against Oregon."
This astonishing cessation of rivalry between
ancient rivals portends an era of good will among
universities which every partisan-minded student
will condemn. None of the spirit that makes foot
ball games interesting will remain, and varsity
chess will attain an importance equal to the Big
Games.—Daily Californian.

New Era Predicted for Pacific by
International Relations Secretary
She has spoken seven or eight.
different languages at various
times in her life. She has lived !
in many countries all around the j
world in the northern hemisphere, j
She has had as her daily associates
daughters of many of the men on
the present Clynese cabinet.
She was born in Turkey, lived
in Bulgaria, went to school in
Geneva, finished high school in
Scotland, and then came to
America for her college education.
Henrietta Thompson is the In
ternational Relations secretary for
the National Student Council of
the Y. W. C. A. During the nine
months of the school year she
travels from college to university
on the Pacific coast, talking to
students, individually and in
groups, in an attempt to help
they think internationally. She
interprets the great world move
ments in which students may take
a part, and explains how they may
do this.
She is action—never passivity—
personified, although her activity
is characterized by calmness and
ease of action. She talks in a
quiet voice, and she doesn’t have
to rise to glorious heights of' rhet
oric to hold your attention. Her
personality takes care of that.
You feel that here before you is a
woman who really is a woman, a
woman who has done and seen in
teresting things, and has derived
much benefit from them. And
you feel that she is not a bystand

‘‘We on the Pacific coast have
a double task,” Miss Thompson
said. ‘‘We must look at the old
world of Europe, which holds for
us our backgrounds, and we must
look always forward across the
Pacific to the still older world of
the Orient. The Pacific era is the
coming era. We are desperately
involved in this era, but we can
not neglect to look back to Eur
ope for our exeperiences.”
Last summer Miss Thompson at
tended the opening sessions of the
League of Nations in Geneva.
“The gallery of the hall in
which the assembly met was pack
ed with Americans. Repeatedly I
heard around me the question,
‘Why aren’t we in this?’ The
rabid attitude of our country to
ward the League of Nations is
slowly but surely breaking down.”

accompanied him on the entire

"Henry R. Seager, known to all

Morris, "was chairman of the
committee, and E. R. A. Seligman,
equally well known, I believe, was
another member. I had to sit and
be qliizzed orally for a full hour
on the contents • of my theesis,
which was titled ‘‘Oregon’s Ex

Dr. Morris’ study was consid

covers a survey of the 16 years
that Oregon has had a minimum
wage law.
Every place that Dr. Morris vis
ited, he found the. people com
plaining of the “most unusual
weather.” In Los Angeles there
hadn't been any rain for months,
and the place was drying up; at
New Orleans it was unusually
cold; in Chicago there was too
much snow and it was too cold,
a thaw made matters worse; in
New York “the warmest January
weather on record” was causing
the metropolitan populace to wor
ry as to what Vould follow, and
in Montafla everything -was froz
en by a temperature of 20 below,
but bac kon the campus where the
new Ph. D. expected to find good
old Oregon rain, was found, too,
“most unusual weather.”
FORMER STUDENTS
TAKE TEACHING JOB
Two former students of the Uni
versity of Oregon, Erma Laird
and Theresa Cooper, have accept
ed positions as teachers in the
high schools of Bend and Ophir,
Oregon.
Miss Laird, who graduated in
1919, will be an ■instructor of Eng
lish. Previously, she taught in the
high school at Sedro-Wooley,
Washington, and was dean of
girls.
Miss Cooper, a graduate in 1929,
was affiliated with the Alpha Del

WANTS
Make The Man
Babies are born with but one want—food. When men
grow old, their wants become few — quiet corners,
friendly faces, peace.
But in the years between, men and women are living
and developing to the full extent of their powers. Then
their wants are legion. *
People today are wanting and gfetting more things
that make for complete living than ever before. To these
common needs of everyone, the newspapers .bring inval
uable opportunities of satisfaction every day.
It is the function of the advertisements to enable you
not only to get what you want—but to get the very best
that your money can buy. They help you to decide which
automobile, which suit, which radio to buy. They assure
you that your wants will be more than met—that they
will be wisely and completely satisfied.
