The Palo Alto theaters recently raised their rates simply because they had a monopoly. The schools will be striking for student rates of 25 cents. They are considering striking also for the death of the double bill and the return of Mickey Mouse. Take Stock, Students “Today's undergraduate is alert, sophisticated, in-on-the-know, in telligent, clever, cynical, sure. He is not burdened with a sense of hu mor, he entertains self-pity, he thinks the world owes him a living, he is understandably apprehensive, he is tempted to drop his piece of meat for what he sees reflected in the water. He is not inclined to properly evaluate the country in which he has played no pioneering part. He does not believe in Santa * Claus,” says Fannie Hurst in pan ning the undergraduate. EMPTY HATS GREET PROF .... Hats Greet Prof A group of students on the Has tings campus was reprimanded se , verely for leaving the class at ten minutes after the hour when the professor failed to appear.

War ren, reserve librarian, speaking of the circulation from Condon library. Volumes given out numbered 1,622, the greatest number since January 12, 1932, when 1,827 books were recorded. Approxi mately 60 per cent of the books were for students of beginner’s psychology, backgrounds of so cial science, or principles of eco nomics. A quiz in three sections of beginner’s psychology can ac count for many of the books, with the last-minute “cramming” rush.

Nothing definite could be learned in regard to the investigation of the intramural sport by Paul R. Washke. Indications are that most accidents have occurred in unregu lated games. Old Libe Soon to End Thirty-Year Service By BEULAH CHAPMAN Thirty years of service for the old libe will be ended winter term, when the 275,000 volumes composing the Oregon library will be moved to the new building. This will be the library’s eighth move in its 54 : years of existence. Built in 1907, the old libe is the only building ever erected on the ! campus as a library. For although the Oregon library has server the various departments adequately and conveniently through the years ' it has usually been at the tail-end of most of the building and devel oping of the school. When the University was found ed in 1876 with one building, Deady hall, there was a delay about secur ing a library. Until 1882 the Uni versity’s only “library” was 500 ; books obtained by the Laurean and Eutaxian, two literary societies on i the campus. In that year Henry Villard, pio neer railway builder of the West, gave 1,000 worth of books to start a real library. At first this was located in Prof. Mark Bailey’s of fice in Deady hall. Besides teach ing mathematics and astronomy, Professor Bailey served as librarian from 1884 to 1891. In 1885 the 625 books were moved to a corner in Villard hall, remaining there until 1893, when they were again moved to Deady. During these years, when Dr. Charles H. Chapman was president of the University, $400 annually was set aside for books and $100 for magazines. Although this is a very small sum compared with the thousands spent each year now, Dr. Chapman wrote at that time that “One hundred dollars is more than enough to get all the really desir able magazines.” In 1897 and 198 the collection, composed of almost 4000 books by this time, was housed in the lower floor of Prof. George Collier’s home on the corner of Thirteenth and University. The building later was bought by the University and is now the home of Chancellor Hunt er.

Gilbert, head of the alumni committee in charge of selection of a secretary. Announcements of plans awaits the return and approval of C. Valen tine Boyer, president of the University, who is out of town at present. The office of alumni secretary has been vacant since Robert Allen Legion Asks ROTC To Parade Nov. 11 Five companies constituting Ore gon’s military department are making tentative plans to march in the Eugene Armistice day par ade, November 11. Mark Hathaway, chairman of the local civic committee, issued the invitation to enter the march sponsored by the American Legion. Definite information regarding ac ceptance of the drill project has been suspended pending approval by President C. Valentine Boyer who is at present absent from the city. Extra Drills Taken During the past month, class schedules have been rearranged by Colonel E. V. D. Murphy, military science commandant, to provide cadets with three additional drill periods. The parade, which has become a traditional activity of ROTC stu dents in past years, will be assem bled at 10 a.m. next Wednesday on Fifth and Willamette streets.

Corvallis Accident Witnesses Sought By Gilbert Harnden Two Oregon students who witnessed an auto aceident in Corvallis during the past week end are being sought by Gilbert A. Harnden of the Eugene Farmers creamery. Mr. Harnden wants the testi mony of the students who were driving by In a black Hodge se dan when the accident occurred. resigned last summer. On October 10 it was reported that efforts were being made to appoint a new man by homecoming time, but nothing was accomplished. Under the original plan, frater nities and sororities were to con tribute $1000 a year to the ex penses of maintaing a secretary, the balance to be paid by the alum ni association. Fraternities Cause Delay Failure of the fraternities to ap prove their $3 50 contributions per month for each house added to the delay. Sororities, on the other hand, announced their 100 percent support of the contributions over three weeks ago. In the opinion of those connected with the selection of a secretary, fraternities and sororities will not be asked for contributions, al though the way has not been closed for them to secure material in regard to incoming students. Last reports on the situation in dicated that thirteen or fourteen applicants were being considered for the position. The secretary when appointed will act as a travel ing contact man for the University, aiding in intere .ting high school students in Oregon. Brown.

Call for Coeds; Bashful Lawyer Still Needs Date Girls, girls! Where are all those girls? Surely, out of all the comely coeds in this Univer sity, one must want a date with a handsome young law school Lothario. A whole day has slipped by with earnest law students an xiously awaiting the first clat ter of high heels on the vener able stone steps of the law school, and—no clatter! Now they're betting 2 to 1 that “X-3" won’t get a date. Girls, something must be done to remedy this awful situation. Can it be that there is not a girl in school willing to take a chance? Think, girls. Haven’t most of you taken blind dates? And haven’t most of them been with a whole lot less assurance of the character of your prospec tive escort than the dignity and reputation of the law school pro vides? Well then, what’s stop ping you? It’s still not too late if you hurry,' Remember, see Dick Devers at the law school and ask about X-3.
