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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Seats for the final production
are still available and may be had
by calling the box office in John
