Steps were taken to put every thing in readiness for obtaining federal aid for building projects under President Roosevelt's pro posed public works program in the event congress approves the act and appropriates federal funds for building purposes. Members of the chancellor's staff were ordered yesterday to conduct a thorough investigation into the pressing needs of the Uni-, versity, especially for a library and an infirmary, and report to him the estimated cost for the con strucuon of these buildings. Investigations Due The chancellor’s office will be busy in the interim investigating the operation of the proposed act so that in the event federal aid is made available, University officials will be in a position to put forward their projects for early considera tion from the authorities govern ing the federal loans. “We will obtain information re garding the provisions of the fec - eral law governing loans for build ing purposes, and the administra tion will be kept posted as to the progress of the act now in con gress,” Chancellor Kerr said. “Es timates on the cost of construc ting a new library building and an infirmary for the University will be prepared as rapidly as possible. In the event this program is ac corded approval, the administra tion will be ready to take the steps necessary to secure federal aid for these projects.” Group To Meet The library committee of the faculty will meet Tuesday for the purpose of preparing estimates for a new library.

Madeleine Gilbert Appears Vivacious When Interviewed By ANN-REED BURNS She came dashing up, attired in a red skirt and red-and-white sweater, her golden-brown hair curling back of her ears. It was Madeleine Gilbert, recently ap pointed Oregana editor. Short, slender and vivacious, she looked more like the All-American co-ed than the traditional gaunt, paper carrying editor. She sat down, tossed her tan jacket over the back of a chair, and began to frown as she sought to remember her exact feelings when receiving the appointment. ‘‘Well, I was very pleased,” she said, "but then it was mingled with a little concern over the responsi bility of the positioon. I realized it was to be a big job.” Miss Gilbert will begin work on the Oregana this term, appointing a tentative staff in about two weeks, and covering the spring sports and other activities which will appear in next year’s annua! When asked if she had any special plans formulated as yet, she re plied that she would not decide on any particular art theme or motif until conferring with the artists, j "However,” she added, "I do know i that the Oregana will be dignified, I and in good taste, rather than striving for elaborate effects.” Miss Gilbert has had much ex perience in the field of journalism, 1 having been secretary and assist- j ant editor of the 1931 Oregana,! and having served on the 1930 Ore- j gana editorial staff. She has worked on the Emerald for three years, and was at one time A.W.S. reporter. The petite Oregana editor is quite excited over the prospects.
