When that word flashed over the campus the whole complexion of 1 liings changed. The fairy princess had waved her magic wand. Heads came up; steps became more brisk; the campus had a new tone; an im proved morale become evident in students, faculty, townspeople. Once more Oregon bad her head up — her eyes a bit brighter, looking into t he future. And what of the future? What does Ore gon need 1 lu the .joy of the realization of the new library, the need for a new infirmary seems to have slipped into the background. The need for a new infirmary is as pressing as ever. It is not, to be sure, a matter of life and death for medical attention is made available to all students. Many cases, how ever, could be treated more quickly and he given more adequate attention if a new in firmary were provided which could easily, without overcrowding, accommodate all who need medical attention. Not far beneath a new infirmary in de sirability is the need of a student union building. For many years Oregon students have felt the need of a center for their activities; a place for their affairs and functions. One building in which everything that pertains to the affairs of the students and the ASIJO is located cannot he under estimated as a pressing need in the cultural and recreational as well as educational life of the Oregon student. Now that, Oregon lias her head tip at tention should be given to a new infirmary and a student union building. Second to None! ipOR the sixtli time in as many years the University of Oregon lias been chosen as one of tin1 two Carnegie grant art centers in the United Stales, the other being at Har vard. This honor is a merited recognition of one of the finest architecture and allied arts schools in I he nat ion. Each summer for the past five years art instructors of high schools from California to Alaska, from the Pacific to the Rockies, have come to the University to benefit b,\ the grant which hist year totalled and which is administered by the American In stitute of Architect tire. In addition to the nationally known local stuff, men such as Eugene Stcinhof, of Vienna, and other experts in their fields have been added to the teaching staff to spread an appreciation of art to those en rolled. For many years the University art school has been steadily growing both in size and reputation until it has now gained a point in the nation's spotlight where it is one of two schools in the United States to receive the Carnegie grant. This grant is a true recognition of the fine qualities of a great art school, an art school w hich Frank Lloyd Wright, an outstanding architect in the na tion. hailed us one of the two best m the Union. Complicated, Too “O ALLROOM dancing is hopelessly unin telligent. People don't know how to tango and they don’t, know how to waltz. What they please to call dancing is iust rhythmic hugging.”—Ruth St. Denis. Ruth St. Denis is a world-famous dancer and should know what she's talking about. Perhaps as regards dancing itself in the liner, more artistic sense, she does. We’ll even admit and substantiate her first two statements. l>ut as to the third we are in clined to think she bases her denouncement of the popular pastime on observations in some of the livelier night spots of the “Love land” type on Broadway , or perhaps at Jeff Reach. More particularly, v c rise in defense of youth (it's a habit, if not a necessity!) who indulge in dancing throughout the land at more or less regular intervals—a group which, we hope, is more representative of the majority of the dancers than those Miss St. Denis has been able to study. Now the term hugging is a tough one to deal with, and it has many implications. Other more definite terms have been applied to dancing in specific instances. If our sub jects are in love, there may be some justifi cation in minimizing the actual dancing, though the good taste of such an exhibition on the dance floor is to be questioned. There has to be a great deal of concen tration upon the hug to make it a real hug— so we’ve been told, we add hastily—and it's difficult enow.1 to divide one's attention between the dan bug itself; the process of keeping a runni g and snappy—even bril liant—conversati n going at all times; keep ing one's composure and dignity while wor rying about this and that assignment; or wondering just how to catch up on the 111 hours sleep missed in the last week or how to get money for a past-due house bill.

One Man’s Opinion By STIVERS VERNON In sponsoring the Junior Symphony, the Eu gene Symphony Society places our city in an enviable position among music centers of the land. Even in the large centers of population it is a difficult task to assemble enough youthful musicians to render adequately the works of the masters. According to Mr. Underwood, the local aggregation has had no difficulty in assembling even the wood-win! players, which are ordinarily noted by their scarcity. The whole matter is a civic enterprise of the first magnitude. The city is giving experience and encouragement to a group of youthful musicians who in years to como may enrich the lives of our citizens by their con tributions to our well-being. No, it hasn't been easy. Imagine whipping into shape seventy youthful musicians, many of whom arc between the the ages of eight and tw-elve. It has all been accomplished by infinite pains-taking care on the part of Mr. Underwood and his volun teer assistants, each of whom has practiced and struggled with the youngsters, by sections and en masse, until they are capable of carrying out the dificult and intricate duties assigned to them. “One Man" does not make a practice of bally hooing enterprises of any sort but here’s one for which he is very definitely rooting. As a civic enterprise or as an adventure in enjoyment, we owe it to ourselves to support such a cultural effort in our city. Even staid, dignified old Uondon has her problems in city planning. In a recent issue of the London Illustrated News, we observe a full two pages of pictures and comment on a subject which is dear to the heart of all true Britishers. It. seems the progress demands the building along the bank of the Thames, of a number of structures to be used as business houses. A recent ordinance passed by the city fathers—whatever they call them in old England limits the height of buildings to 100 feet. Even so, the News rises up to point out that such buildings would com pletely' obstruct the justly famed view of St. Raul's cathedral dome from the river bank. By sketches and photos it proves this point in most admirably fashinon. The Passing Show IIEAKSTISM THREATENS AMERICAN LIBERTIES William Randolph Hearst, self-styled cham pion of "Americanism,” is marshalling his news paper forces of ignorance and prejudice against, the menace of "Communism in education." Col lege studetns throughout the nation are uniting against these tactics, labeling them a “deliberate, ruthless attempt to stifle freedom of inquiry arid expression, and to impose upon American educa tion the terror which characterizes education in Germany.” Red-scares can be manufactured for any oc casion. Fortunately, no Twin City newspapers have as yet implied any opposition either to liberal expressions of thought or freedom o' speech on the campus: bui the line between the red-scare of last summer's truck strike, and the advice to take "militant action against un-Ameri canism at the University of Minnesota” advo cated recently by a writer in the American Le gionaire, is a very fine one. There is apparently no danger of Hearst invading academic privileges at Minnesota, but there is a possibility that peo ple motivated by Hearst-impulses may want to pound the drum to "the academic goose-step," as an editorial published in the Columbia Spectator termed it. This editorial, it is of interest to note, has been subscribed to by more than 50 college news papers throughout the United States, including The Minnesota Daily. Contending that Hearst and Hearst ism are "a menace to the academic free dom which students and faculty have fought so many bitter battles to preserve." the editorial goes on to say, "Now. more than ever, in a world fraught with disorder and insecurity, its preser vation is most vital Mi Hearst declares that he is seeking to keep the miud of youth "clean and wholesome We contend that he is advocating the academic goose-step We believe that the economic and political facts of life should be open to scruitny, analysis and decision: we see in Mr Hearst'a policies an attempt to suppress any consideration of them . . We interpret Mr. Hearst's onslaught a,, the vanguard of fascism m America. Now is the time tor those who hoheve in the American right of treedom of speech and ex pression to join forces against those who would destroy such principles, upon which democracy and liberty are built Minnesota Path'. The Day’s Parade By PARKS HITCHCOCK "I Odolj vs. Finance Solicitous Mr. Green BTERR ADOLF'S latest trick to * * wreck his revenge upon the French government seems a double plot. Last year the German gov-: | ernment promised to pay the Quai d’Orsay eight million Francs for I the French-owned mines in the Saar basin if that much-discussed little valley expressed its desire to g< over to the Kara camp in the I recent. February plebiscite. Patriotism and Pocketbooks I As a sequel to the German vic tory in the Saar Germany’s be inoustashed Reichsfeubrer has set his propaganda machine to work j to convince Saarlanders that they I should turn in their franco to the Fatherland and receive in ex I change German marks. Profit and Los; The only kicker in this simple plan to gain enough francs to pay | of! France in her own coin was ; the fact that while the franc has an eighty-one per cent gold back ing, the mark at present is only backed by Berlin's promise of three per cent in gold. Thus Saar landers who prefer patriotism to the profit system may benefit their newly adopted Fatherland, rob I their ov/n pocketbooks of sevenLy | eight per cent of gold payment. Out Go the Francs Although Herr Adolf still re j mains confident that enough Saar ! landers will hand over their franes to the Nazis to make the payment, but bankers in Switzerland, Bel gium and France are not so confi dent. They assert, in fact, that more than ninety per cent of the | francs in the Saar have already ‘ been shipped out and redeemed in j gold. W/ILLIAM H. GREEN, head of the American Federation of Labor, comes to the front in the proposed Old Age Pension and Unemployment Insurance squabble with a proposal to lower the age limit and scale up the amount to be paid to the beneficiaries. Optimistic Mr. Green Not only Mr. Green, but all of the other suggesters want to make the same minor changes. Of course the original proponents of the bill could have no objection to such revisions, yet when all of the would-be revisors get through it seems extremely doubtful if the legislators who introduced the mea sure will even be able to recognize it. An Excursion It seems rather peculiar that Mr. Green would care to come to the front on measures of this na ture at a time when many labor disputes have been only temporar ily settled and another truck driv ers strike is gaining momentum hourly in New York. An Incursion Indeed one must needs think that to propose such an amend ment at such a time would require a moderate amount of presump tion, coming from the source it does. Under the proposed revisions the laboring classes of the groups belonging to the A.F.L. would ben efit a groat deal, yet while they are proposing this measure for their own betterment they are try ing to strike a fairly hard blow at ttie people who would be the source of revenue for their exorbitant re lit f demands. 9 Will Judge (Continued from Pane One) At the Coe-.1 Capers held last year, the judges were seated on a platform in the middle of the floor, attired in varied colors of cello phane. The costumes they will wear this year are as yet a mys tery, but from past experience] they should prove both unusual and very interesting.

Gable, Joan Star at Mac By CYNTHIA LILJEQVIST Tone: MGM’s all star basket ball team at the Mac tonight. Montgomery, forward; Butter worth, backward; Gable, for ward; Crawford, center; Burke and Drake, guards. Joan, who has been warming up dramatically, enters the game psychologically late but just in time to grab the ball and make a running start for the basket. Just back from France, sure fire "Connie’’ Drake intercepts the flaunting Joan and by under handed tactics makes a pass to the irresistible "Dill'’ Montgom ery, who is pretty fast on the pick-ups. (jokei Unsuspectedly fouled Joan loses her balance and staggers into the brawny arms of “Jeff” Gable who doesn't mind if she does. Score: two on Crawford. After being duped by speedy little "Connie,” Joan makes a frenzied attempt to recover but is penalized for blocking Con nie and holding Montgomery, (joke) Now it is Gable’s turn to huft ancl he receives a big hand for hacking Joan. Burke does some dainty dribbling and Butterworth is high point man after a series of brilliant shots. Gable makes a startling come back in the last minute to play and Montgomery is floored as the whistle blows. ‘‘Forsaking All Others" de serves its sorority circle popu larity. The cast is comprised of popular stars whose interlock ing orbits furnish some good situations, and promote smart repartee. In my opinion the attempt to capture a sophisticated tone, sine qua non of the young mod ern. is too obvious. There is none of the art that conceals art. The reader is justified in dis agreeing with so high toned a measuring stick, but the play based on a girl changing her af fections from one man to an other when she finds out it was not Dill but Jeff who sent her the cornflowers, is top-heavy and depends on a clever substitu tion of wit and delicacy of situ ation for a weak plot. This was achieved only once in the bal cony scene when Jeff rescues Mary from Connie's wrath. It was amusing and rapid fire. Noel Coward by a few deft strokes could have made a mas terpiece of it The cast was well chosen but for Joan Crawford who lacks that finesse, suavity and delica cy essential to a high comedy female lead When Joan whis pers that she has loved Dill ever since he used to put gum in her hair, we suddenly realized what it is that we have always wanted to do to her.

By STANLEY ROBE The Wolf at Our Door A Boys Write U-W Song By WIN JENKS Not satisfied with their present very popular college song, two stu dents at the University of Wash ington, Tom Herbert and George Lawson, have composed a new Vic tory song. It was introduced by the glee club, which sang it be tween halves at the Washington O.S.C. basketball game. Far from being bashful, the stu dents at Queen's college, Toronto, Ontario, put ads like this in their campus dirt slinger.

At Boston college the masculine element has gone for the towel fad in a big way. Wearing these as scarfs, they attend classes, escort their dates, and even show up at important functions, just as though the style were quite acceptable. Here’s a laugh—Sally Rand was once a student of journalism at Columbia university. Knitting may be all right at Rad cliffe, but at least one professor at the University of Washington says its no go. "It’s all right in its place but I prefer the folded-hands banker type of audience when I lecture," Professor Howard H. Preston, of economics and business, veteran after-dinner and banquet speaker, commented at a speech he gave recently before a woman’s I organization. "All 40 of my listeners were knitting while I talked, and 1 just I couldn’t let off steam.’’ “Study Week," a free period de voted to preparation for semester examinations, is to be given a trial at Whitman college. There will be no classes of any sort from Satur day to Thursday; the day exams begin. Students and faculty at Stanford will have an opportunity to see , San Francisco's Chinatown. The international committee of the campus Y.W.C.A. is sponsoring the trip which will be under the guid ance of several Chinese students who are attending Stanford.
