Wanted~A Central Calendar A GAIN the urgent need for a central all-campus calendar system which would be consulted and observed by those scheduling important events has been brought to our attention after a consideration of the numerous events occurring this week. Wednesday evening the Associated Women Students’ “Co-ed Capers” has been slated. Also on the same evening Lenno Rob inson, leading Irish dramatist who will appear in Portland soon with the Irish players, is to lecture at Guild theatre. Thursday the drama department will open a three-day run of “Journey’s End,” and Phi Beta is bringing Paul Engberg, Seattle baritone, here for a special concert. All of these events are of campus-wide interest, and should not be crowded into two days. It is to the interest of those sponsoring events as well as to the students wishing to attend them that there be a central calendar which would be consulted before lectures, concerts, and other campus activities were scheduled. The time, energy, and effort expended in presenting a fine program or lecture to the campus is often completely wiped out by dating the event inadvisedly. If the calendar now maintained by the dean of women's office is to be effective, it must be consulted by every person in charge of setting dates for coming events. Although this is done to a small exetent at present, dates for most events are set by organizations sponsoring them, and later it is discovered that Conflicting programs arc being given by other groups. Let's have an effective calendar system. For Things Musical A DISTINCT step in the line of creating more interest in “things artistic,” ami particularly in music, has been defi nitely marked on this campus, judging from recent events. Five hundred students signed up for the two courses given by the school of music this term on the appreciation of music. True, a large proportion of these perhaps were more interested in two hours of guaranteed passing grade than in the beauties of music, but we prophesy that Dean Landsbury creates more than a mere interest in a passing grade in them before the term ends. Sunday, 3000 people, a goodly percentage of whom were stu dents, heard Georges Enesco present an extremely fine violin concert in McArthur court. At 5 o’clock Sunday the music auditorium was filled again for the twilight organ recitals which have become so popular this year. Not a few of those present also attended the Enesco concert. Oregon students are becoming more interested in music of the finer sort than ever before. They are realizing the oppor tunities for greater appreciation of music being presented to them through the facilities of the University. To the adminis tration and to Dr. Hall particularly, who is perhaps more eager to have Oregon students obtain cultural educations as well as job-fitting ones, this should be gratifying. The Library and Magazines A “DISGUSTED STUDENT” comes to the defense of the Uni versity library today in a communication to the Emerald, but his laments need not have been so loud. The library, al though making the announcement that between 200 and 300 magazines would be cut from the subscription list, will still continue to receive those publications, for the periodicals slashed were duplicate copies which were circulated. There will still be on file in the library reference copies of the nation's best weekly and monthly publications which students may consult. Announcement of the library's action may not have been en tirely clear, and possibly our correspondent set down his thoughts without investigation. True, some magazines will cease coming to the University library. Foreign language publications and some biological and business administration journals fall into this classification. On the whole, though, the same “preferred” magazines will be on hand, only they will not circulate from the library. This situation may be remedied by gift subscriptions or the donation of magazines by students and faculty members when they have finished with them. Our correspondent raises also the question of athletic ex penditures. Investigation there, we believe, will disclose that budgets have been cut, too. Minor sports will not be given the attention due them, but only because major sports have failed to draw in the past year as they were scheduled to do. We wish, along with our reader, that the University library would not have to suffer reduced budget allowances. But let our corre spondent cease his cries. He will still be able to read his favorite magazines, although lie may have to stand in line to get them. Brian Mimnaugh reporta that the National Student Federa tion of America approved of scholarships to athletes as being comparable to those given musicians and artists. How the ath letes will take this we don't know, but one guess will do lor the musicians and artists. Perhaps we were a bit hasty in speaking about spring ta-1 week. Well, it ntver rains but it pours.

GAELIC DRAMA TO BE COVERED BY AUTHOR (Continued from Page One) ■harming speaker, as well as a tal ented playwright. Taught at Montana In the summer of 1930, Robin son gave a six weeks’ course in the Irish theatre at the University if Montana. C. H. Clapp, president af the university, was so impressed that he wrote the following: "He taught in such a charming and j fascinating manner that I could j hardly keep away from attending his lectures. He talked in a quiet i informal way with a beautiful choice of words, keen wit, intimate knowledge of his subject, and ob vious sincerity so that his lectures were a powerful magnet.” ART ROLL LOWERED Enrollment in the school of ar chitecture and allied arts is under 10 lower than last term, said MrS. Mabel Houck, secretary of the ar chitecture and allied arts depart ment.

To the Ediior: For the first time in my two and a half years of attendance at the University of Oregon I feel moved to express by opinion in re gard to the present library policy. For some time I have felt indig nant over the fact that the library had to bear the brunt of the at tack in this depression, but Satur day’s announcement that a host of the very best magazines had been dropped from the subscrip tion list contributes, in my mind, the very last yord. Mr. Editor, you have been very conscientious in your attempts to expose any scandals and skulldug gery present on this campus, and I commend you for your policy. Also you have promised to press for the adoption of any policy which you think meritorious. Sure ly you cannot ask for a more just cause than to attempt to rectify the mistake that the library made in taking such drastic and, I think, unwarranted action. It certainly is too bad if we have to endure a library in which we cannot have access to the very cream of the magazine crop. Mr. Editor, have you noticed any falling off in the amount of money being expended on our athletic system. Last term we paid out a large sum of good money for football games which we never saw; this term we might do well to come to the aid of the state of Oregon in the person of the University of Oregon library. If we are going to make this an athletic institution and everything else subservient to athletics, why camouflage it? If this is to be a real university as President Hall is striving to make it, then let us, first, last, and always uphold the standards of our library, no mat ter what else has to go by the board. If this letter elicits any re sponse, more discussion will be forthcoming. Tap Dance Course Offered Physical Education Girls The department- of physical edu cation for women is cooperating with Francis Mullins of the Mer rick dance studio to make it possi ble for physical education majors to take a course in tap dancing. There will be a charge of $8 for 20 lessons, providing a sufficient number of people enroll.

The class will be held Tuesday and Thursday at 7:15 in the gym nasium in the Gerlinger hall. The first meeting will be January 11. The class will not be restricted to physical education majors, it is announced. Any university stu dent may take it.

My advice is - - - buy now and save money later!” And that is what >ve say, too. Current advertising of the Oregon Daily Emerald gives you tips on real values and where to buy. The Emerald is read by 3000 moderns whose buying power is over two million dollars a year.
