Seniors' Greatest Opportunity
0 lethargy is apparent in the class of 19:10,
which is soon to shift the tassels on their
mortar-hoard caps. In fact, this class would
seem to be very definitely on the track of
something in their effort to establish an en
dowment for the University. Not only are
they on the track, but they are working on
the project, and it looks as if they might get
somewhere with it.
“ Unselfishness is manifest in the vigor with
which the committee is pushing the campaign.
There is nothing compelling them to carry
on this work. They are almost through with
the University to all practical purposes, yet
they spare nothing in their pursuit of the
greatest memorial a class could give.
Yesterday the memorial committee ap
pointed by Senior President Harriett Sara/in
decided on one plan over the several they had
been considering. In narrowing the field down
they carefully weighed tin1 merits of each
system. The accepted plan is one which will
best fit the need in this particular ease.
■BRIEFLY, tlio senior committee chose a $250
endowment, with no physical examination,
■with average annual payments ol about $!>.•>().
If even a third of this graduating class
pledges to carry on this program the result
ant sum in 25 years will he a figure ol the
size universities need so desperately Iroin
time to time in order to develop and fulfil
their natural growth.
In promoting this venture the class ol lh.l!)
if it succeeds will leave ils mark on the pages
of University of Oregon history as the stand
out among graduating classes. Once estab
lished. endowments might become a class
custom, might send the l niversity to hitherto
undreamed-of heights.
Indisputably, however, the big IK in the
seniors’ endowment plans, is how the class as
a whole will take to the plan. They stand on
the threshold of something finer than anyone
yet realizes. It is within their power to start
something more significant than even its pro
moters imagine. Tomorrow night's meeting
will decide whether the endowment ship of
the seniors sinks or sails on.
The seniors will look the thing over from

JJEFORE iho canoe fete is completely f'or

ending of (tie school year tlicro arc a few
aspects of that colorful event which might
he touched upon, both in the line of “pointing
with pride” and as a guide to better things.
First, the thing was pleasing. It was
smooth, and was artistically balanced as well
as on lhe whole delightful. For this a par
ticularly happy selection of art advisers is in
lhe main responsible.
Probably more important than it ever was
before was 1he script, which Saturday night
supplied that punch which drove home the
entire fete as nothing else* could. Beauty, as
represented by floats would not have been
enough, although it is a main factor, (.'lever- .
ness of design would not have been enough
either. It was the script, so sharp-edged as
1o be a little daring at times, which bound
the thing together into one picture.
The design and construction of the floats
were such that University hosts could “point
with pride” at the work of University stu
dents and the system which trained them.
These students have seen emphasis placed on
originality, creativeness, and energy, and the
canoe fete, a corner of their effort, reflected
this emphasis.

After all is said and done, the 1939 version
of one of the University’s most colorful and
original functions will probably go down in
history as more than satisfactory. The Uni
versity can be proud of the originality shown
both in the artistry and in the writing; it was

Need Some Pottery?
Here’s How It’s Made
By MARIE BO,IE
Ambling through the art court one day, the reporter heard a loud,
rushing sound.
"I can’t just ignore it," thought he, ‘‘on account of reporters being
cracked up to be such a curoius lot with noses for news and such."
So he propelled himself in the general direction of said disturbance,
namely, the pottery department.
There it is disclosed that what informed people call a kiln makes
all the fuss. It seems that this hap
pens every time the students de
cide to cook up that is, fire, some
pottery.
General appearance of the kiln
may be likened somewhat to that
of a big furnace. Reaching an in
tense degree of heat as high as
2030 degrees Fahrenheit it uses
approximately 1200 cubic feet of
gas an hour.
"Don't get too close, but you
can look through this opening and
see some of the cones used in reg
ulating temperatures,” says the
attendant.
About the cones they are three
little things on a small clay base.
Each one mysteriously drops over
at a different temperature, and
when the last has collapsed, the
kiln is known to have reached the
desired heat.
Most firings take eight hours at
about 1885 degrees. Pottery must
be fired twice: the first time it is
called the biscuit, and bakes the
clay; the second fuses into the pot
tery the glaze, which colors it and
adds the finished texture.
There are three ways that pot
tery can be made before the firing
process. It can be east, modeled,
or turned.
Panhellenic to
Study Coed Rushing
Rushing for next fall, or at least
the feminine side of the picture, is
due to come in for some pre-season
discussion this afternoon when
Panhellenic meets.
Rushing chairmen, house presi
dents, and alumnae advisers from
each sorority will gather in the
AWS room of Gerlinger at 1 for
the meeting. Extent to which the
rushing situation will be gone into
was not announced.
Special importance is attached
to the meeting, it was announced,
and all groups named above should
be there.
Gage’s Land
Story Printed
Daniel D. Gage, associate pro
lessor of business administration,
has an article entitled “Land Iden
tification and Measurement" pub
lished in the May issue of the Sav
ings and Loan magazine spon
sored by the American Savings
and Loan Institute. In this article
Professor Gage describes the four
chief methods of identifying land
and includes a complete series of
formulae and methods of determin
ing the number of square feet of
land in irregularly shaped parcels
of land.
Professor Gage was assisted in
the writing of the article by three
of his students, Kae Coleman, Wil
liam Herndon, and Kay Lindstrom.

The
Show
Off
By NORMAN FOSTER
Finn Minus Mickey 1 . . . Warnei
Bros, has superimposed subtitles
m “Dawn Patrol” to explain that
Errol Flynn is drinking tea and
not Scotch. The whole thing came
about as a result of a ruling by
the board of censors in an effort
to discourage drinking among the
natives. Kinda dirty trick on the
poor heathen.
We Wonder Why! ... A friend
was complaining to Hedy Lamarr
about how he was having trouble
sleeping. Said Hedy, “The same
thing with Gene (her husband), he
can't sleep, and he doesn’t seem
to be able to do anything about it.”
Paging Grover Whalen! ... It
would seem that the amusement
center of the New York world fair
is having a bit of trouble. The cen
ter is only half lighted at night,
more than 100 of Frank Buck's
monkeys have died of the cold on
Monkey Mountain; the streets are
still unpaved; some of the 50 Am
azons rebelled the other night be
cause they turned blue with night
air in their scant costumes, and
barkers for the girl shows can’t
talk “purple” to the customers. In
fact embittered concessionaires
call their zone Little Siberia.
’Taint True! ... And speaking of
the world’s fair, those attendance
figures which Grover Whalen an
nounces each day do not really
represent cash admissions. Counta
cause every time an employee goes
from the exhibit area into the Ad
ministration building and returns
another admission is chalked up.
Don’t Trust Nobody! . . . This col
umn is supposed to deal with the
general subject of entertainment.
And nothing, perhaps, is more en
tertaining than the efforts of so
rority grape vines. Especially when
the whole sorority knows about
the poems you write to the girl
friend. Gee Whiz! That’s the last
time we do that maybe. Gentle
men, take heed and be warned by
our sacrifice.
Gossip! . . . And we don’t usually
mess around with nasty gossip,
but today we’re helping Wen
Biooks. It seems that he forgot to
mention his and Sally Mitchell’s
blooming love affair. Rumor lias
it that his column is an open letter
to someone.
Time Marches On! . . . The Alpha
Phis are certainly up with the
times. The other day Pat Carson
introduced a Mr. Woolsey to her
sorority sisters as a member of
the famous movie team of Wheeler
and Woolsey. And the ladies were
very pleased to meet a movie star.
Of course, Woolsey of Wheeler and
Woolsey fame has been dead for
well over a year.
Waxworks! . . . Benny Goodman is
up to usual high standards with
his new recording of “Rose of
Washington Square” and Jerome
Kern's “oiren's Song" for Victor.
