’Shape of Things to Come*
"^^TTII a new library nearing completion
and with a new infirmary and a new
gym already in service, it might be said that
the expansive urge of the University of Ore
gon should be appeased. Still, it is not too
early to look into the future; for it will not
be many years before this rapidly growing
institution will of necessity be clamoring for
additional building facilities to care for its
expanding student population.
Jn the past, the cry has been for a student
memorial union building. Why this has been,
we don’t know. Perhaps it is because other
universities have them, among them our com
panion college down the river. It would, of
course, fill the need for a convivial assembly
place. Conviviality, however, may be ranked
as a luxury, if it is urged in the face of inade
quate educational facilities; unless it be said
that the prime purpose of a university is
social, in the lighter sense.
What this university needs in the way of
new buildings, now that the const ruction of
the past two years lias fulfilled the most vital
demands, is not a memorial union, no matter
liow pleasant that might be. What we need is
a modern classroom building.
* # #
'jpi 1 li MOST cursory survey of the campus
shows the obviousness of that need.
Deadv, Villard, and McClure halls, although
a certain veneration attaches to their aged
ivy, are woefully antique. They are stone
shells with creaky interiors of tindery wood.
Something more complimentary can be
sail! of Johnson, Condon, Oregon, Commerce,
the journalism shack, and the educational
school; but they still leave much to be wanted
in the way of modern lighting, air-condition
ing, and soiind-proofi)tig. (Such moderniza
tion, however, ran be undertaken at relative
ly small expense—relatively, that is, in com
parison to tile cost of new construction.
Nevertheless, even when these newer
buildings on the campus shall have been
brought up to date, there will be a problem
in furnishing sufficient classroom facilities
for Oregon’s over-accelerating influx of new
students, enrollment at the University has
reached its pre-depression height and il shows
every indication of shooting right on up.
Not only is the administration alarmed at the
task of educating an increasing number of
students with a constantly decreasing bud
get, but—if enrollment keeps up its present
pace—Dr. Moyer rf al. may get a shock of
gray hairs even finding room for them.
* # *
^JONVKRSION of tlif old library into a law
school will make available soiue extra
elassroom spare, but not too mueli. Ami il is
reasonable to predirt that we’ll be clamoring
lor a new elassroom building within the next
few years.
A model for this new building is present
able, at least in so far as modernity is con
cerned, in the new gym — that marvel of
sound-proofing, air-conditioning, and light
ing. Certainly, in our new lecture hall, we'll
want the sound of footsteps to “kill” itself
in the corridors, as it does in the new gyui;
we’ll want the air to be refreshened con
stantly without cold-provoking drafts and
“flu’’-conducive stuffiness, and we’ll want
light to fill the room efficiently and glare
lessly.
And it’s not a utopian dream; we'll have
it one of these years.
Most Important Share
JNEQl’ITIKS which were tightly rumored
in the turt-iield tuuds drive sponsored In
Sigma \u have failed to materialize. I!\ that,
we refer to the disappearance of grounds for
objection to the plan because it might seek
to exact contributions from fraternities and
sororities disproportionate to the number of
their members.
The proposed levies, as worked out In
Jtiek Watson and Hill Van Dusen, are quite
equitable, representing as they do an effort
to reach every group on the campus—Greeks
and non-Greeks. Now it remains for the stu
dents of the University—every one of us-*
eacli to contribute his share to this valuable
project.
* # #
^^NLY between a fifth and a third of the
total funds are to be raised on the cam
pus; but, still, that is probably the most im
portant share. For, if the students of Oregon
don't, get behind the plan in a united effort,
what right have we to expect other prospec
tive contributors in the city of Eugene and
throughout the state to chip in?
The quota set for sororities has practically
been met; almost to the house, they were
eager to do their bit. Now fraternities, dor
mitories, and other campus living organiza
tions should come through with their shares.
Let’s go!
'As Ye Sow’
"piIOBIS worn, scratched and scarred spots
in the maple floor of McArthur court,
tin; finest floor in the northwest would attest
to the speed and drive of Coach Howard
Tobson's basketball players—literally claw
ing up the floor, as it were—only the driving
Ducks make those marks.
Three times a year, Oregon's basketball
coach watches not his team but his floor
ruined—and not by opposing fives, but by the
ravages of registration.
McArthur court’s surface is damaged al
most irreparably by hurried crowded regis
tration, by hundreds of hard-shod feet scrap
ing along past the checker's tables.
Correction of this evil might very well
come as a by-product of the reformation of
one of the University’s greatest problems:
that of rushed, hurried registration.
# * #
pART of the theory of college education is
that the student is supposed to be able,
with the aid of his advisor, to select a pro
gram of study which will not only supply
him with the hours necessary for graduation
but will allow him also to pick up a little
culture on his way towards graduation.
Rushing a student through registration
often rushes him into courses which he
doesn’t, want and which arc of doubtful value
to him. This means cut classes, dropped and
changed courses,‘poor grade point, averages,
lack of interest, wasted time, and often dis
satisfaction with higher education in general
and the University in particular.
Much emphasis has been placed on the
college period as of extreme importance in
developing for (In* individual a full, rounded
life. There lias been less emphasis on the
fact that this four-year period is an extreme
ly expensive one. It is expensive both finan
cially and in the time and effort of the stu
dent. In these highly competitive times it is
important that the student should leave col
lege with the equipment at his fingertips
which he needs in his profession. It is essen
tial, moreover, that he should have a broad
cultural foundation which will enable him
up jjrj, me mu.>i uui ui nli*.

FEW extra days spt'iit in resist rut ion
woul certainly return a ‘“profit” far in
excess of their value lost in classroom time.
Under the present setup, an adviser is a per
son who signs a card in C'ondou hall, says
“humph” twice, and glances at red hooks.
Handling ’><) or more student programs in
seven hoars, he has little time to dispense
advice, thereby failing in his primary I'unc
lion and becoming only a titled sohedule
eheeker.
Recently the University of Florida has
followed other colleges and is releasing regis
tration material lf> days before actual regis
tration begins. At the same time a fees re
ceipt is issued to those students who take out
material in order that an accurate check can
he made.
Students arc required to report to their
deans and advisers at times set by the deans.
This system, with material released perhaps
two weeks before final exams, enables tic
student to confer with his adviser at length.
and also to speak with the dean of any school
or the instructor of any class in which he is
interested und would like to investigate fur
ther.
Required to talk with his adviser and
tentatively outline a course, the student
would then have in mind through vacation
some courses he wanted to take. After vaca
tion. a brief conference with the adviser
would also be required before final enroll
ment. Poor course selection would then be
definitely the fault of the student or the ad
' iser and could not be laid to an inefficient

the most consistent of all screen

and now it's “After the Thin

more mystery confronts Nora's
family and it takes Niekie's
shrewd mind to solve it.
As usual when the screen’s most
sophisticated man and America’s
perfect screen wife get together,
there is a great deal of witty dia
logue. Only minor objection to the
dialogue is the various allusions
to "The Thin Man.” Net enough
objections to keep it from ranking
high among the most popular hits
of the year.
Elissa Landi, looking vastly im
