A filled-to-capacity infirmary
this week brought to the campus
a sharp reminder of those condi
tions which finally won for Oregon

Ancient Campus
Poplars Replaced
Because of their shallow roots
and the danger of their being
blown down by high winds, the
two great Lombardy poplars that
stood for many years beside the
Art and Architecture building,
were removed last summer, to be
replaced by smaller and more firm
ly anchored plants.
Sections of the trees’ roots had
been cut ff previously to prevent
their breaking up the paved walk
beside which they grew, and as a
result the poplars oegan to lose
their holds and lean precariously
in the wind.
English Author-Prof
Returns to Campus
Professor Pat V. Morrissette
has returned to the English de
partment of the University after
a year’s leave of absence. Profes
sor Morrissette, who is a graduate
of Oregon and who taught here
from 1925 to 1933, except for a
year’s study at Princeton, will

numerous volumes of poetry, sev
eral of which deal with the life
and career of “Riley,” and “Paul
Bunyan,’’ “University Portraits,”
“Hymn to Oregon,” “A Note on
Mid-Western Oblivion,” as well as
numerous book reviews.
A Frosh Disappeared?
Try ‘Lost and Found’
A truly “lost” department is the
; lost and found depot this week.
Bewildered freshmen, harried by
the rush of busy days, seem to
have lost, first their memory, then
their personal articles. The high
mortality rate on clothing and
small essentials is blamed on the
classless week when janitors were
not checking up on rooms used.
However, a large number of arti
cles teported lost may have been
parted with in halls and on down
town streets.

Mrs. Gerda Brown, who was
formerly steadily employed at the
Co-op. has returned temporarily

Orators to Gargle
Into Gramophone
For Class Grades
A new and different type of
training will be offered students
of classes in speaking this year. A
special machine for making elec
trical transcriptions of the voice
has been installed.
Students speak into a regular
radio microphone and a record is
made on the machine. The ma
chine records music and sound ef
fects as well as the voice.
The records can be played back
at any volume desired giving the
future radio announcers, or states
men a chance to “hear themselves
as others hear them.” Records can
also be sent to any radio station
for transcription or can be played
on amplifying devices elsewhere.
The device has already proved
to be of great value in teaching
various subjects such as public
speaking, corrective English and
others, and it will be used exten
sively this year for debate, foren
sics and dramatics also.
Mr. John L. Casteel, head of the
speech division, is planning two ra
dio contests with the aid of this
new addition. One will be for the
best speaking voice and the other
for the most acceptable radio
forms.
Master of Oriental Art Draws
Large Following on Campus
Overflowing classes of campus
students and townspeople have
greeted Professor Jiro Harada,
noted student of Oriental art, in
his two-term course of Japanese
Art and Culture, being given in

goya College of Technology in his
native land. He has been a mem
ber of tht staff of the Imperial
Household Museum since 1925, and
was given leave of absence for one
year to lecture in America.
An interesting and original feat
ure of Harada’s lectures, which
are given Monday and Thursday
afternoons at 4 o’clock, Is the
plates shown to illustrate various
phases of Japanese art, large re
productions of each of which are
given those students atttnding.
Altogether Professor flarada will
show 128 plates of Japanese art
objects.
Afte- the winter term here, the

one examination eaqh term and the
I usual scale of grades.
While at the University Profes
| sor Harada is residing in Omega
1 hall of the John Straub Memorial
building. This week lie will be a
guest of honor at two dinners; one
given by Dr. and Mrs. C. V. Boyer,

Building Program for Oregon
Moves Forward; Gym, Libe
Infirmary, Work Progresses
Excavation for Library
Completed; Trenching
To Start Soon
Fund Is Uncertain
Additional $126,000 Is
Asked for Plan
By Lc Koy Inman
Steam shovel work of excava
tion for the new University library
was completed Wednesday night
marking the second step in the
construction of this $36.1,000 PWA
project for the school. Actual
work began September 17, when
a big ceremony marking the turn
ing of the first spade full of dirt
was held.
Next work will be trenching for
the piling and footing of the foun
dation. This will take approxi
mately a week and a half, it was
announced from the office of Larin
J. Reynolds, secretary of construc
tion. This will be followed by the
preparing of forms for concrete
pouring, marking the actual con
struction on the building.
Second Money Uncertain
No definite word has yet been
received regarding the request for
the second allotment of funds,
amounting to $126,000 to complete
the work as originally planned, ac
cording to M. H. Douglass, librar
ian.
As explained by Mr. Douglass
the lowest bid on the basic plan
amounted to $92,000 more than the
PWA allotment called for. The
bid, however, was let with nine
alternatives of substitution and
omission of one entire wing. The
low bid under this plan was just
$9000 under the allotment.
$126,000 Also Asked
The $126,000 additional allot
ment being asked for is not only
to cover this $92,000 discrepancy,
but also to add extra units to the
University heating plant for heat
ing the new building.
The actual PWA allotment for
the library was $350,000, of which
30 per cent was a government
grant, and 70 per cent was a gov
ernment loan. The additional $15,
000 was taken from the alumni
holdings.
Co-op House Expects
Complete Roster Soon
Foreshac/owing a possible new
widespread living set-up for finan
cially embarrassed and underprivi
1 e g e d students, Oregon’s first
large-scale cooperative house
opened last week at 715 Thirteenth

The new organization, under the
leadership of Howard Ohmart, is
fast approaching its immediate
goal of 20 members. Cooperative
student ventures, notably the Uni
versity of Washington's 10 united
living groups for the northwest,
have increased yearly, and in 1936
national leaders expect to outstrip
all previous records.

New Physical Education
Plant Floor Space
Plans Revealed
Completely Modern
Three Story Structure
To Cost $351,000
By LeRoy Mattingly
Approving plans for the floor
space of Oregon’s $351,000 Physi
cal Education building, members
of the faculty of the school met
with E. P. Lawrence, dean of the
school of architecture and allied
arts, and Will V. Norris, professor
of physics, last night.
The three story structure as ap
proved includes facilities for gym
class work, class rooms to be used
in the academic work of students
majoring in physical education,
and room for intramural sports
programs.
Entering the building on the
ground floor at the corner of Uni
versity and' 15th, a corridor will
lead the student to the basket
room, into the locker room, and
thence to various rooms for rec
reation.
Three Basketball Courts
Three large rooms with basket
ball courts and which may be used
for other purposes occupy the
upper end of the building which is
connected with McArthur court on
both the first and second floors.
Twelve handball courts and six
squash boards surround the bas
ketball courts.
Rooms for boxing and wrestling,
apparatus and tumbling, and
rooms on the upper floors for stu
dents taking restricted gym
classes, are also included in the
plans.
Office room for the school of
physical education has been placed
on the second floor. An assembly
room and class rooms for physical
education students are also in
cluded.
Simple Floor Plan
The floor plan of the first floor
is designed to avoid congestion and
enable students to reach the vari
ous courts and rooms with ease.
Glass enclosed catwalks are
planned for spectators from which
to witness the activities, especial
ly the intramural programs.
Members of the physical educa
tion faculty which met last night
with Norris and Lawrence were
Dean J. F. Bovard, Prof. Paul R.
Washke, Prof. E. R. Knollin, Asst.
Prof. Earl E. Boushey, and In
structors R. K. Cutler and H. S.
Hoyman.
In its general features, the
building will resemble McArthur
court. It will be constructed in two
units, the administrative and the
activity, extending from Univer
sity avenue and 15th street to Mc
Arthur court.
Two Units Planned
The administrative unit located
on the corner of University and
15th will include the offices of the
school of Physical Education, the
showers and locker rooms, while
the activity unit will include
courts to be used by the gym
classes. The units will be con
nected.
Plans for the space of rooms for
the units and the completion of
the details of the building are be
ing rushed and will be finished
October 28.
ROTC to Be Moved
The ROTC unit now occupying
the site of the new Physical Edu
cation building will be moved to a
temporary location in the vacant
area above Hayward field.
Construction of the new plant
was made financially possible
through the PWA appropriation
which was approved in Washing
ton September 28. The appropria
tion for the infirmary project by
the PWA was passed at the same
time.
