Handling, Typography of 1936
Annual Has Campus Okay
A skeptical Oregon campus re
ceived its i936 Oregana—the work
of capable Editor George Boot and
an ambitious, hard-driving staff—
received it with such genuine ap
preciation and enthusiasm that
the release of the book became, an
outstanding event of Junior Week
end.
From cover to cover, the book
attained a tone of enticing inform
ality, avoiding the stiffness so of
ten found in annuals. In its fore
word was the explanation that
Root and the staff felt that every
possible theme had been used and
re-used until they verged upon
triteness. They pursued this be
lief throughout the book, linking
subject matter cleverly and natur
ally with the broad motif of cam
pus life.
Typographically, the lithograph
ic or offset printing of the first
section with its possibilities for
life-giving shadowing and blending
attracted much attention. The
press work on the other sections
was also of exceptional quality.
Shown in the adjoining columns
is the washable cover of the book.
In the lower right hand corner is
Editor George Root, and on his left
are pictured students stacking
copies of the Oregana.
More pictures and art work are
scattered throughout the book in
proportion to reading matter than
in many year books. In these pic
tures, an attempt to avoid the for
mal posed photographs for the
more natural and interesting “shot”
was made and has been well re
ceived by the book’s purchasers.
Title lines and descriptive matter
for the pictures were humorous
and informal, as was the reading
matter throughout the book.
Roduner’s Vocal
Concert Pleases
Campus Audience
Encored again and again by an
enthusiastic audience of faculty

student tenor of Mme. Rose Mc
Grew, made another of his popular
appearances in the school of
music auditorium last night.
Mr. Roduner’s high, clear voice
carried the rang beautifully and
at all times he had complete com
mand.
At the close of the third group,
he sang his first encore, “Home
lands” by Gretchaninoff. After the
fourth he repeated “The Sleigh,”
by Kountz, and at the close of the
program sang "To You a Flower”
by Rodman. He was ably accom
panied by Miss Alice Holmback,
graduate student in music.

University Afloat
Will Be Shown
Twice This Week
Two weeks ago come Wednes
day, Oregon students expected to
hold classes on barges, so wet was
the campus; but ole Jupe failed
them at the crucial moment. The
cloud burst stopped. Now, word
has been received that a “Floating
University” that actually floats
will be shown Wednesday evening
at 8 o'clock and Thursday at 8:30
in Gerlinger pool.
Members of both the Amphib
ians, women’s swimming honorary,
and the men’s varsity swimming
team will make up the student
body. The faculty is being kept a
deep dark secret.
Jean Stevenson, Amphibian
president, hinted that the class
rooms, curriculum, and examina
tions of this university are novel
ties that will put the present ar
rangement of campus existence to
shame.
A ball will be a feature of the
carnival.
Admission is 25 cents. Tickets
may be purchased from any mem
ber of the Amphibians or varsity
swimming team.

Members of Phi Beta Kappa
Meet at Anchorage
Student, faculty, and alumni
members of Phi Beta Kappa, na
tional honorary scholastic society,
at a dinner given at the Anchorage
Monday night, heard Dr. William
A. Shimer, of New York, secretary
of the united chapters of the or
ganization, make a plea for the
widening of intellectual boundar
ies and interests.
Intellectual provincialism, the
speaker declared, had succeeded
geographical provincialism; and
the learned society of which he is
the active executive is sternly set
against this development.
Overindulgence by some college
professors in the medieval lecture
system, developed "when books
were scarce and talk was cheap,”
was deplored by the speaker, him
slef a former faculty man in east
ern institutions. For the better type
of student he favored more free
dom and individual work and a
more liberal use of the library.
Dr. Shimer informed his hearers
he could see something of a return
among practical men to a realiza
tion of the value of basic culture
even to men who are going into
business or industry; promotion of
this trend he regarded as a func
tion of Phi Beta Kappa. He hoped
for the formation of more alumni
chapters.
Comprehensive exam i n a t i o n s
rather than frequent short tests of
the student's recollection of a
small section of a particular sub
ject were advocated by the speak
er, and he deplored, without seeing
any easy remedy, the overempha
sis on grades as a measure of a
student’s capacity and progress.
Dr. Shimer is making a tour of
the eighty chapters of Phi Beta
Kappa in the United States.
J. Herbert Geohegan,
McNeil Island Leader,
Will Also Lead Forum
At 7:30 in Gerlinger

modern day prisoners will be dis

in Gerlinger hall. A special open
forum will be held tonight at 7:30

Work Significant
Work now being done by Dr,
Geoghegan at McNeil Island is re
garded by educators and prison
authorities as of utmost signifi
cance. His projects have won the
highest praise from Sanford Bates,
head of federal prisons.
Dr. Geoghegan was chosen to
take charge of the school for in
mates at McNeil Island in 1932.
He went there from the teaching
staff in sociology at the University
of Washington, from which he was
graduated in 1922. He received his
master of arts degree in 1923.
While an undergraduate he was
elected to Phi Beta Kappa, na
tional scholastic society.
Enrollment Increased
The success of the work Dr.
Geoghegan is doing at the prison
is shown by the fact that during
the first year he was there en
rollment in classes increased from
360 to 653, while lesson reports
completed and turned in increased
from 1,839 to 6,727.
J3eiUie Leaguing iXL vvar.mugiuu
university, Dr. Geoghegan’s career
took him into such fields of social
activity as minister, organization
of study classes in railroad con
struction camps, logging camps,
and mill towns, and educational
work in army camps during the
World War. He was elected to the
state legislature of Washington in
1927, where he served on various
committees dealing with educa
tional and social problems of the
state. Mr. Geoghegan also intro
duced and was active in the pro
motion of the old age pension bill
which is now a law in Washington.
