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.

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 RESCUE!
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.

The Truth!
“All of Us Overlook Good
Things Part of the Time,
and a Lot of Us Overlook
Them All of the Time ”
A successful Eugene merchant called this to our attention
the other day when we were talking to him about adver
tising.
“Many of those who read current advertising in the papers
are apt to jeer at phrases such as
Lowest Prices in 15 Years
and
A New Low in ValueS
The funny part of it is the fact that such statements are
true!
“Never in the history of our business have prices been so
lo wand quality so high. 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.
