UO May Get Scholorship Boyer, Ontliank Will Try to Obtain Grant President, C. Valentine Boyer and Karl W. Onthank, dean of the personnel administration left for Portland last night where they will look into the possibilities of es tablishing a scholarship enabling University of Oregon students to attend the National Institute of Public Affairs in Washington, D. C. They will confer with Dr. Fred erick N. Davenport, general chair man, and Otis T. Wingo Jr., of that institute. The institute was established two years ago for the purpose of giving college men some training in the practical side of politics. Scholarships for about three months’ study were to be given to students selected by the institute from among lists submitted by the faculty committees of a great many colleges and universities in the nation. This plan did not ma terialize at the time because of lack of funds. Rockefeller Makes Grant The Rockefeller foundation, how ever, came to the rescue of the in stitute, and granted it a gift of a substantial sum of money. This will insure the maintenance of the institute, but it. will be necessary for each school desiring such a scholarship to find a way to help finance the students it. sends. Dr. Boyer and Mr. Onthank plan to look into the possibilities of ob taining a giant from some estate or foundation in order to obtain such a scholarship for the Univer sity of Oregon.

SECOND FLOOR i full find accurate record of the events of the school, but that it must be more than this, it must reflect originality, bring out new , angles, and work oh the policy of i personal and school betterment. Deutsehmann Speaker Paul Deutsehmann, former edi i tor of "The Franklin High Post," I and at present a member of the I Emerald staff, spoke on the sub I ject "Directing Student Opinion ! Through the Editorial,” propound ing the theory that to prove ef \ fectual the editorial must be gov ( erned by the same rules as used in preparing a debate. A paper to forceably attack a I scholastic problem, he said, must of necessity work on a definiLe editorial policy established by the i staff. A discussion led by Orville Williams, The Dalles, followed. Lucas, Hanson Appear Edward Hanson, cartoonist for i the Emerald, drew cartoons for the gathering, the while he explained methods of influencing student op j inion with pictures. He told of the I linoleum cut method used by the Kmerald. Following the election, the new officers took over their duties and President Orvilie Williams intro duced Robert Lucas, Kmerald edi tor, who spoke briefly on proper staff organization as a means to production of a better paper. Policies Discussed Jane Dachtelberg, Portland, told I of the policies employed by the I staff of “The Blotter,” Commerce ; high paper of which she is editor. I “High school students,” she said, “should be taught, some way, to look for the literary and social values in the newspaper. Features and humor are not the vital things.” “Don’t beat around the bush in writing a news story -spill it!” were the words of Professor Charles Hulten, in his talk before the group. “The lead is the im portant thing.” Professor Hulten cited a number of personal illustra tions in stressing his point. “Put names in your papers,” he con cluded, “they’re the best good will getters you can find.” 1 Miss Hosson Leads Following this Jean Rosson led a discussion on the diplomatic handling of the dirt column. A NYA Reports Must Be In Blanks to Bo Filed Weekly by Students Students employed on NYA projects will have to fill out and turn in time report blanks each week, according to instructions sent out by Earl M. Pallett, chair man of the committee on federal aid for students, to staff members supervising this work. Four weekly reports must be turned in each month. That is, if a student does no work during a given week he should turn in a re port anyway indicating that fact. At the end of each week the stu dent should sign his time report for that week and file it with the staff member who super-vises his worK. Working Periods Outlined The federal regulations state that students must not work more than 8 hours in any one day nor more than 30 hours in any one calendar week. The monthly working period for this month is from October 20 to November 19, both dates inclusive. There will be only one more period this term, beginning November 20. The first period included all work done in September and up to Oc tober 19. A new form for the time reports has been gotten out by the NYA authorities. This is to be used in place of the yellow service requi sitions used in the past. The in formation to be contained in the new report is essentially the same as was required before. -- number of delegates told of their difficulties and experiences with this problem.

State Board Will Inspect Possible Infirmary Sites Members of the state board of higher education will meet in Eu gene November 9 to discuss and inspect the various suggested sites for the new University of Oregon infirmary. According to Dr. Fred N. Miller, director of the health service, it is desired to select a site which will be easily accessible but which at the same time will not interfere with future development on the campus. “The most desirable loca tion,” remarked Dr. Miller, “would be across from the men’s gym. with which we work extensively.” "Other sites which will be in spected are: 15th and University: 15th and Onyx, which was ap proved for inspection at athe last meeting' of the state board in Port land on October 28; in back of Johnson hall where the history shack is now located; and several other sites which would necessitate purchasing property as they are not already owned by the Univer sity. The new structure will do away with the present dispensary as this will be included as a department in the infirmary. According to the architect’s plans it will be a three story brick structure. The firstf floor will be filled by the “out-patient clinic,” those stu Elaborate Browsing Room Planned for New Library The browsing room, planned as one of the most elaborate depart ments of the new University li brary now under construction, is described at length in an article written by Karl W. Onthank, dean of personnel administration on the campus. '■It was early agreed that a room should be set aside for browsing- that is a room where students might freely examine books on open shelves and select those which might strike their fancy either for reading at home, or in the room itself,” Dean On thank said. “But it was only after long study and much mature thought that the character of the room and its location in the building were settled,”' the article continues. “No Education Secretary Back From Yacatiion Miss Ida M. Pope, placement secretary at the education build ing', returned from a month’s vaca tion November 1. Miss Pope spent a quiet vaca tion at Monroe with her mother. She stated that she enjoyed her vacation, but was glad to get back. dents who are not sick enough to be in bed. The staff offices, exam ination rooms, laboratory, minor surgery, x-ray, hydrotherapy and electrotherapy will all be included on the main floor. The second floor will handle the kitchen, dining room and 26 beds of the actual infirmary in two and four bed wards. Living quarters for the staff and the epidemic ward will consist of the third floor along with 26 more beds. The official title of the new building will be “Student Health Service of the University of Ore gon.” Students are taught how to drive a car in several New Hampshire high schools, with insurance com panies footing the bill for mate rials used in this course. particular claim is made tor orig inality in planning this feature of the library, for we are indebted to many libraries and librarians for ideas and suggestions which were freely borrowed and used.” The browsing room will be placed on the main floor in a space between the two principal entrances. It is to be approximate ly 25 by 00 feet, extending along the front of the building. According to the plans, the en trance to the room is through swinging doors opening from the main corridor of the building, and directly opposite the central lobby containing the circulation desjc and catalog files. A "studying forbidden” sign will be placed over the doorway, and the atmosphere of the room is to conform to this idea. There will be a few tables and many easy chairs. Floor lamps, pictures, draperies, handsome bookshelves, fireplaces, will contrast with the formality characteristic of institu tional buildings, Dean Onthank says. The cost of furnishings, how ever, will be held to a minimum, and expenditures must be met by various gift funds available al ready or in prospect. Students will be free to browse about the room sampling books as they wish. Attendants will be on hand only to keep the room in order. Most of the books will be avail able for circulation. Such books as college life, vocations, love and marriage, current events and the new deal, University lectures, var ious new books and special inter est subjects will be conspicuously displayed. ‘The aim embodied in this room is not a retreat for accomplished book lovers, but beguilement for non-reading students,” according to Dean Onthank. “It is to be free from all odor of requirement and to be baited by the choicest lures of the book trade, and once the bait is fairly taken the victim is hooked for life.” ley ain’t stream lined or air conditioned but they sure are mild and they sure got taste . . . made of mild ripe tobaccos... we believe Chester fields will add a lot to your pleasure.
