University May
Obtain Library
And Infirmary
Construction Would Be
Financed by RFC
KERR INVESTIGATES
Oregon Officials Anxious to Get
Federal Aid for Buildings
Needed on Campus
By OSCAR F.« HUNGER
Possibility of construction of a
long-awaited and much-needed new
library and an infirmary on the
University campus in the not too
far-distant future, was seen yes
terday when Chancellor VV. J.
Kerr put in motion activities de
signed to secure aid for such con
struction through the Reconstruc
tion Finance corporation.
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. Rough estimates
have set the cost as high as $500,
000, but it has pointed out that
with the present low price condi

Depression Effect
Research Subject
A two-fold purpose, to find edu
cation practice in combating the
depression and to discover new
practices to improve the quality
of service, in research work is
being conducted throughout sec
ondary schools and colleges by the i
Northwest Educational associa
tion. F. L. Stetson, chairman of
the committee conducting this re-1
search work, reports that the
work will be completed before the \
next April, 1934, meet.
The effect that the depression
has had on schools and to what
degree the schools are responsible
for the present economic situation
is another of the problems that
Stetson and his committee will try
to solve. The work will include
colleges in six northwest states
and secondary schools in the seven
units that the northwest states
are divided into by the Northwest
Educational association.
Men of ’35 Asked
For Appearance
At Tug Over Race
4 LL sophomores are request
^ ed and urged to be on hand
promptly at 9 o’clock this morn
ing at the bridge where the
highway crosses the mill-race.
Inasmuch as the tug-of-war
against the freshmen will be
held there at that time, it is
deemed advisable for every
member of the class to be pres
ent in order to do his share in
battling against the freshman
tuggers.
Rumors of dire consequences
to those who do not shoft' up
are circulating freely, and it »
declared advisable to be on the
scene.

Infirmary Slates
Open House Again
For Visitors Here
Open house at the infirmary for
Oregon mothers will be in order
again today. Yesterday quite a
number of mothers, escorted by
their sons and daughters, paid the
infirmary a visit and had tea with
the nurses. According to the
nurses, the invitation is again ex
tended to the mother of any stu
dent.
The object of the open house is
to give parents a chance to see
the conditions under which the
health of their children is guarded.
The consensus of opinion among
visitors yesterday was that the
infirmary wa3 immaculately clean
and as well organized as possible
in the old building. However, all
callers stressed the need for a new
infirmary on the University cam
pus.

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. '

Even Sun Smiles for Minute
As Margaret Ascends Throne
By HENKIETTE HORAK
Even the sun peered for a mo
ment from among the dark and
threatening skies when beautiful
Queen Margaret I and her royal
entourage assumed full regal du
ties for the week-end at the cam
pus luncheon yesterday.
About 2251 paused for a short
time at 1 o’clock, and turned their
attention from meat loaf, potato
salad, potato chips, ice cream, and
punch, to the royal throne, where
sat in all her glory and splendor
the queen-elect, Margaret Wag
ner, and her attendants, Dorothy
Cunningham, Marian Vinson, Ida
Mae Nickels, and Lucile Coate.
Neal Bush, president of the jun
ior class, placed the crown on the
kneeling queen’s head, spoke a few
magic words, drew the regal cloak
around her, and Margaret became
queen, the supreme sovereign of
the campus. She flashed a smile*
of joy and welcome to her assem- ;
bled subjects and sat upon her
throne to watch the entertainment
prepared for the pleasure of her
and her court.
Janet Hayes, a tiny dancer,
raised an ovation from the audi
ence with her dance, and Mickey
Vail and Ked Bailey, dressed as
court jesters, performed tumbling
and acrobatic antics that provid
ed many laughs.
The stately queen and her beau- i
tiful princesses added an air of
dignity and prestige to the infor- '
j mal atmosphere which surrounds I
the campus.
Promptly at 12 o’clock a hugee
bell brought to the campus for the
. occasion was rung and its deep,
melodious tones formally opened
the campus luncheon. Endless lines
