S A i SACi: m AT If everything would work out just right this is the way the campus would look, the plan drawn up by University Architect Fred A. Cuthbert reveals. The mill race and railroad would be moved northward (the railroad and highway being transposed). The University acreage across the highway would be de veloped into a recreational center with an amphiteatcr and playgrounds. The triangle between Eleventh, Kincaid and the highway would be transformed into lawn, giving the University a quarter-mile front on the highway. Eleventh street would be diverted into the highway by a curved road from Kincaid. Campus traffic would be carried across the highway by means of underpasses at the art school and Villard. The Dads’ gates would be installed just south of the triangular bit of lawn which appears in the upper left hand corner of the illustration. Cut courtesy Register-Guard. University Landscape Plan May Create Beautiful Artistic Campus By BUCK BUCHWACH After 20 years of submitting pians and campus improvement proposals, University landscape architects are finally within sight of their objective, that of having an official plan accepted and work begun on extensive campus im provements. As yet, no official plan has been accepted, but the latest proposal, that of Professor Fred Cuthbert, University landscape architect, is the one most likely to be accepted in the near future. TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY “SON OF FRANKENSTEIN” with Boris Basil KARLOFF RATHBONE Sonja Hcinie - Richard Green in “MY LUCKY STAR” - plus “GIVE ME A SAILOR’’ Martha Raye Previous to this, all plans had been submitted by the office of Dean Ellis F. Lawrence of the ar- j chitecture and allied arts depart ment. These plans had been of-! fered at various intervals, but for' various reasons had been altered' or dropped at different tunes. The proposed plan by Professor Cuthbert takes into consideration the new highway development near the University, and also brings in the property recently acquired by the school. Building Program Seen Plans for a large building, which will most likely be a natural his tory division opposite the art mu seum, and the extension of Oregon, Commerce and Condon buildings are included in Professor Cuth bert’s proposal. A mall, the idea of which has been suggested in the majority of the plans during the last 20 years, to extend the new highway to the libraiy, also will be built in ac cordance with the new plan. Long-Time Project The new development is the cul mination of the desire of Univer sity officials and Professor Cuth bert in particular for an appealing, artistic campus. Previous to this time, various minor improvements had been instigated by the land scape architectural department.

BRISTOW S JEWELRY STORE meats of Professor Cuthbert ami his aides since 1933 are: Survey in 1933 of all watcrlines, walks, and sewer lines with the assistance of Professor Skelton of Oregon State college’s engineering school in preparation for beautify ing projects. Hundreds of walks built through out the campus, including the famed sundial walk east of John son hall. Grounds Changes Planned Improving and regrading areas, including those of Johnson hall, Friendly hall, the infirmary and many others. This included the planting of shrubs and beautifying the adjacent grounds. Completion of the Garden thea ter back of the music hall. Here tofore, no parking space had been available, and the site was merely a large hole. Duck Lake to Disappear Low areas back of Villard, filled in with dirt from the physi cal education building project, This space had been a lake, and many an old-timer recalls shooting ducks on this body of water. Other projects finished were the relocating of the military barracks the paving of walks with concrete in the vicinity of the physical edu cation building, and the redesign ing and partial completion of beau tifying the gardens back of the president's home.

Stanley "Warren, team captain and 19gk, j ninth corps area individual cham ipion; Don Boyd, member of last (year’s team; Gilbert Wing, sopho more marksman who made an ex cellent record on the freshinaa j team last year; Laurence ■ member of lact year 5 team ani North Campus Improvements Pians Drafted Mill Race May Be Shifted to Allow for Amphitheater for Canoe Fete Plans for the development of the University of Oregon "north cam pus” along the mill race into park area, picnic grounds, and a canoe fete amphitheater have been com pleted and submitted to the Uni versity committee for investiga tion of the project, according to Earl M. Pallett, chairman of the committee. F. A. Cutlfoert, University land scape architect, has envisioned im provement of the University prop erty from the Anchorage swim ming pool to the bridge across the race, an area of approximately 12 acres, to become an integral unit of the campus. While no immediate action is pending on the matter, Pallett pointed out the advisability of hav ing such a plan to present to the Oregon state highway commission, should that body decide upon re routing the present highway and railroad from the Ferry street crossing to the junction at West Springfield. Should the Commission move the railroad north of the highway, which proposal would eliminate the dangerous crossing at the inter section of the highway at 11th street, it would be necessary also to move the millrace to the north. Race May Be Moved State engineers, after looking over Cuthbert’s plan, agreed that it would probably be feasible to move the race to the position de sired by the University committee: The mill race, according to Cuth bert’s idea; could be widened into ; a. semi-circular lake, leaving room on the south bank for an amphi theater, with space on the north I for a stage and bandstand. The rest of the twelve acre tract could then be developed into picnic grounds, park and soccer field for recreational purposes, much needed on the Oregon campus. The pro posed improvement would also re sult in a city entrance to Eugene such as few industrial towns can boast. Adjustments Necessary Some adjustment of finances for the plan would probably be reached through exchange of high way right-of-way on University property for completion of the mill race improvement. Members of the committee for investigation of the hope-for im provement, appointed by President Donald M. Erb, chairman, are Earl M. Pallett, executive secretary of the University; Virgil D. Earl, dean of men; Dr. W. V. Norris, profes sor of physics; J. O. Lindstrom, business manager; Dr. O. J. Hollis, professor of law; and F. A. Cutli bert, landscape architect. Wyburd Furrell are almost cer tain to compete, he said. Two other marksmen who will probably take part are Bob Chappel, last year's ninth corps area high school in dividual champion and Jack Casey, another freshman find. The first and only lectureship on cancer in the world has been es tablished at the University of Chi cago. Cooper Union's library last year circulated 230,819 books, only four per cent of which were fiction. It Has Almost Served Its Purpose Villard hall . . . the second oldest building on t'le University campus was constructed in 1865 during the administration of President John Wesley Johnson. In early days in the center part of the campus, it would become part of the much-outmoded old section if the new University “front yard” plan ia undertaken. Whisker Derby Adds To Barbers' Profits The sophomore Whiskerino celebration is not causing a depres sion among barbers as was first believed, according to the results of a survey of four campus barber shops ctablishmcnts Monday. In fact, you can’t tell the difference, according to Leo Deffen bacher who operates thc.Kampus barber shop. "So few students do get shaves that we have noticed no appreciable decline,” he stated frankly. "In fact some students don’t even have to shave,” he laugh ingly retorted. After the celebra tion i.s over be expects to have a little business from the sopho mores, however. An outstanding discovery was made at Sehlich’s barber shop. “Since the sophomores began growing beards, we have shaved more students than previously,” said the proprietor. He qualified , this statement by explaining that this increase was due to the “in crease of beard and mustache trim ming.’’ Mr. Schlich docs not ex pect much business after Saturday night as most sophomores will not wait till Monday to have their whiskers removed by a barber, but will shave themselves. Both Charlie Elliott and Joe Prairie, the two other campus bar bers, have noticed no decline in bus iness. “We have trimmed beards for two or three tough customers, but that’s about all," said Mr. Elliott. Mr. Prairie, owner of the Var sity barber shop, “has nothing to lose in the student shaving line,” according to his own statement. However, he does expect an influx of customers after Saturday. Tryouts Held i Continued From Page Two) made the running of the downhill event impossible. Starting at the bottom of a hill, Wood plotted the slalom course and by the time he had reached the top, the show had drifted and nearly covered the run. The ski men had to run the slalom in quick succession in order to follow the nearly obliterated trail. The snow v. a3 falling so fast that the Web l'oot skiers had to buy goggles to aid them in getting a full vision of the ski run. Government Camp - Timbcrline busses were delayed by the snow and had to follow directly behind the snow plow to make the trip. Oregon added another meet to | its schedule when it was announced ! that the Northwest intercollegiate J ski meet would be held at Mt. Hood | April 21 and 22. Probably entrants will include skiers from University of Washington, Washington State, Idaho, University of British Co lumbia, Oregon State, and Heed college of Portland. Bishop Finds Life Today Far Too Fast Life today has much to offer, but it also takes a lot away, said Bishop W. P. Remington at the Yeomen-Orides meeting last night. A typical example is the automo bile which, much improved, is the means of obtaining a great deal more cultural things, nut in which people tear down the road at such a fast rate they miss the beauties along the way, he said. College life reflects the pace at which people live in the cities, both the larger and smaller, are living, he said. The greatest difference between the courses of his college days and those of today is in the number and' kind required, he said. The theory then was that people need ed certain fundamentals to learn to think clearly and to have a well disciplined mind. Discipline, he said is essential. Two alternatives are open to the I people of today, Bishop Reming ton said. Either people must disci pline themselves or they will find themselves near anarchy. If this condition arrives, a strong man will arise, because people can not stand anarchy as the French revo lution proved, he said. UO Men to Attend Chemistry Meeting Several members of the chemis try department will travel to Port Coward Play To Finish Run At Guild Hall o Final Performance Of 'Private Lives' To Be Informal; Big Audience Expected The third and final showing of the inimitable "Private Lives” is scheduled for the University thea ter in Johnson hall Wednesday night at 8 o’clock, when Kay Mc Alear and Eddie Hearn will tear each other's hair for the last time in the second act of Noel Cow ard’s comedy. The informal performance of the show on Saturday night was played to an even larger audience than the "first night" crowd which turned out in full dress for the Friday night opening. Audience Enthusiastic While onlookers received the play on Saturday night with as much enthusiasm as the rollocking comedy usually evokes, members of the cast handled lines and situa tions with a poise and sureness which was not so evident at the opening. Some of the glinting vivacity which characterized the more tense performance was lacking at the Saturday night show. Members of the cast who will put on the third night of “Private Lives” tomorrow night are Kay McAlear as Amanda Prynne, Ed die Hearn as Elyot Chase, Jean ette Hoss as Sybil Chase, Wilfred Roadman as Victor Prynne, ar.d Edith Ekstrom as Louise. Mrs. Seybolt Directs Mrs. Ottilie Turnbull Seybolt is director of the Production. Seats for the final production are still available and may be had by calling the box office in John son hall between 10 to 12 a.m. or 2 and 5 p.m. All seats are reserved as the Johnson hall theater can hold only 191 persons. land next Friday and Saturday to attend the 167th meeting of the Oregon section of the American Chemistry society which is being held on Saturday, February 11. The discussion will center mairt ly about the topic, “Problems in Disposal of Industrial Wastes.” Mr. Irving T. Rau of St. Helens Pulp and Paper company and Mr. K. C. Hardewicke of Libby, Mc Neill and Libby company will speak on the issue.
