VOLUME XXXVII
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1935
NUMBER 2:
PWA Grants
Extra $98,000
For Library
Allotment Reaches
Original Request
Of $460,000; Building
Can Be Completed
Bv ELLA MAE WOODWORTH
Resurrection of the original plans
and specifications giving the Uni
versity of Oregon one of the finest
libraries in th ecountry was made
possible last night by an additional
federal loan and grant of $98,000.
Information concerning the addi
tional allotment which boosts the
total to $460,000, was telegraphed
last night to Charles D. Byrne, act
ing secretary of the state board of
higher education, bv C. C. Hockley,
state director of PWA.
Building Worth $475,000
The restoration of the entire fund
will enable contractors to complete
the east wing, the third floor, the
forecourt, and other portions of the
building which without the grant
would have to wait until funds
could be obtained.
The government will thus supply
a total of $448,000 (or the structure,
and approximately $15,000 is avail
able from other sources, such as the
University Alumni Holding associa
tion. A new organization, “Friends
of the Library,” is also seeking to
raise about $15,000 for equipment
for the browsing room, which will
make an approximate evaluation of
the entire structure $475,000.
Work Is Rushed
As soon as the authorized details
are received here they will be
turned over to contractors, some of
whom are already at work, and the
construction will be rushed to com
pletion as scheduled, according to
Mr. Byrne.
x The allotment, which is approxi
mately 30 per cent grant and 70
per cent loan, was applied for in
Washington some time ago, and has
been granted by President Roose
velt and the allotment board.
Art Instructor
To Show Painting
Miss Maude I. Kerns, instructor
in normal art in the art school, has
been asked to exhibit a water color
painting- at the 15th annual ex
hibition of the California Water
Color Society at the Los Angeles
Museum in Exposition Park.
The title of Miss Kerns’ paint
ing is “The Old and New,” and it
will be on display until the end of
the exhibit which began October
4 and will continue until November
10.
The subject of the painting is
an old brick house with sheds and
an adjoining barnyard in which
there are horses. These central
figures are surrounded by oil
tanks, breweries, and industrial
buildings.
An original technique is used to
express light and movement, on
forms, in strong opposition to
scale, volume, and type.

Dr. Yocom Tells
Of New Program
| Marine Biological Post
Planned for Coos Bay
A program for the creation of a
new enterprise in the curriculum
of the University of Oregon was
revealed by Dr. H. B. Yocom, head
of the department of zoology at
the University. The project, which
is in the hands of a committee of
which Dr. Yocom is a member,
would see the establishiment of a
marine biological station and lab
oratory at Coos Bay, near Marsh
field, in southern Oregon.
After solicting aid by way of a
federal grant, which would turn to
the University five acres of ground
located at the desired site, the
committee has seen their proposal
drafted into bill form and passed
upon favorably by the U. S. senate.
Action in the house was arrested
however, by the filibustering of
the late Huey P. Long and the
Oregon bill was filed with the
many others as “unfinished busi
ness.’’
Favorable action by the house of
representatives at the coming ses
sion of the legislature would mean
that immediate construction of a
laboratory would take place and
preparations be made to accomo
date classes during the summer
months.
Complete plans for the new ven
ture have not been made as yet,
but there is a possibility that the
Oregon State college biological de
partment will serve in conjunction
with the Univesrity in operating
the station.
Until recently the site has been
occupied by a CCC encampment.
The seven buildings on the plot
could be used with little improve
ment, Dr. Yocom said, for housing
the new enterprise.
Nasty Hallowe’en
Spook Revealed
As Housemother
Spooks! Witches! Ghosts! Was
it Hallowe’en or was it ?
On the eerie night the A O Pi’s
were sitting quietly at study table
(dancing in the living room to you)
when what should float in but a
nasty thpook dressed in a wicked
looking habit. Half of the timid
young ladies expired at first sight
of the creature, and the other half
when they found out that the ghost
was none other than—guess who?
That most sedate of all sedate la
dies, Mrs. Ramsby, the housemoth
er of the Alpha Gams.
Tch, tch! So that’s the way house
mothers act on Hallowe’en when
they think they won’t get caught!!!

Zeta Hall Men
Take Dipping
In Mill Race
With thirteen nearly nude and
shivering charter members the
“Hallowe'en Ducks" Zeta hall hon
orary, was organized last night at
exactly midnight on the historic
shores of the mill race near the
Anchorage.
Because it was that mystic sea
son of the year when boys are
demons and back gates disappear,
Zeta hall concluded to celebrate
its first Hallowe’en of occupancy
for four long years by making a
big splash. Hence, by means of
high-pressure salesmanship and
cleverly worded threats, thirteen
Zetaneers were persuaded to make
the fatal plunge. Only thirteen
were allowed.
Members of the group who are
expected to be up and around in a
few days include Bill Thomas,
Stephen Cook, Warner Kimball,
Ray McMichael, Jack Donnelly,
Dud Miller, Bill Law, Don Serelt,
Norman Beals, Bob Pollock, Bob
Bruns, Bob Bailey, and Pat Hutch
ins.
Pi Lambda Theta

and Edith Luke. The 25th anniver
sary of the organization will be cel

Physics Professor Tests
New Libe’s Phone System
Just a flip of a little tumble
switch is all Dr. Will V. Norris has
to do to talk from his desk to the
distant office of his secretary, Miss
Thelma Nelson.
Dr. Norris is trying: out an inter
communication system for the new
library.
This system, if installed, will be
a means for 12 people in the var
ious departments of the new libe to
talk to the main office.
The new device will have the va
rious department names set on the
face of an illuminated paneel above
the switch that connects them with
the other departments. By throwing
the swich, the phone buzzes in the
department called and the person
lifts his receiver turning off the
buzzer and making the connection.
This system is proving handy for
inter-building conversation; the
main office has no receiver to take
off the hook, one speaks into the
microphone set into the box and
receives the message through a
small speaker set in the same unit.
The complete device is small
enough to rest upon a regular office
desk, taking up no more space than
a typewriter. Upon the box is a
regular French phone hook for out
side communication.
