• u One of the biggest improvements 2~" made on the Oregon campus dur 1 ing the last year, which will be instantly noticed by the returning - alumni, is the University’s new “ classroom building, Chapman hall. One of the biggest problems 2 solved by the new building is the • little matter of suitable housing - for the University Co-op. The first ' rloor of Chapman provides a roomy, - well-lighted, well-ventilated, at 1 tractive store space for the Co-op. m * * 2 Another contributing factor ' which makes the Co-op a pleasant - place to go into is the perfect ; control of the heating. Largely re 3 sponsible for this improvement is 1 the Asbestos Co., which installed ; the insulation materials in the « new building. * * * • Due to the increased floor space « the University Co-op has been able ' to carry a greatly increased stock - The Co-op carries the finest qual " ity school supplies available. On • their shelves the students will find 2 the Trussed memorandum books • and note books. The Trussed people are the ones •* who originated the idea of making • notebook covers of single ply, solid 2 leather, which is only one exam • pie of their leadership in their 1 field. • * * * « Another company, which is .iust ’ as much a leader in its field, is « undoubtedly already well known 2 to students and faculty members « of the art school.

Weekend Planners Through Group Wills Future Problems to 1940 Program Heads Today marks the farewell to arms for Burt Barr and his ef forts as 1939 Homecoming chair man. With the approaching finale of this year's Homecoming festivities in the McArthur court dance to night, Barr and his committee will leave the now infamous campus civi| war in which the coeds were up in arms over an informal vs. formal style question, as a matter of record for future Homecoming planners to wrangle over. But even though the fashion war is more or less over and the once brilliant frosh bonfire is now but a few dying embers on the Amazon, there still remains a number of items on the Home coming committee’s unfinished business list. First of all, all incoming trains today are to be met by members of Skull and Dagger who will not’ only extend a cordial greeting to returning alums, but will also pro vide transportation in banner be decked automobiles. Plans for half time alum wel coming activities arc yet to be completed. The Homecoming com mittee is still considering prepa rations for a proper welcome of members of the northern branch | who will trek toward Webfoot land to join with their older bro thers in attending this afternoon’s football tussle. which were installed there when the store opened iii its new loca tion. The cabinet work in the, Co op was done by the Brand liapids Store Equipment company, an Oregon firm. The company com bines tire finest in materials and workmanship, turning out very very artistic cabinet work. In closing it is fitting that we should mention a local firm. Cer piiiiiv they >littve a claim to dis tinction since their product has met with such approval from the campus males. The company is the Potter Manufacturing Co., of Eu gene, makers of the popular “T” 1 shirts.

Mumps vs. rootltall Oregon’s football team look one hard knock in 1914. IL was not the result of defeat from an op posing team, though. The blow : fell when Jake ltisley, star player, developed a severe ease of mumps only a few days before an im portant game. His absence from the game was not the only serious consequence. Quarantine of his fraternity was necessary. Visits from famous personages always cause a stir on the cam pus. Unusual excitement was evi dent during the stay of Aitnce Semple MncPhorson in Eugene. Ten years ago this week, the fe male evangelist was taken for a tour of the University in a lively green jallopy belonging to one of the students. lleporters Are (tunics Her guides were three Emerald reporters who took delight in phowing off every inch of the campus.

M GKM„ OIUA.OS We Supply You With **T” Shirts and Dccats Old Predictions for Campus Told; Future Forecasted? By HAL OLNKtf What will the Oregon campus look like in 10 or 15 years? Well, of course, there will be a new student union building some where on the campus and, of course, there will be a mall extending from Eleventh street to the library with a huge “Gateway to the University" on the Eleventh street end. Maybe. Recently, an April 23, 1921, copy of the Emerald which had been carefully filed away and forgotten, was found in which a story with the following head was prominently displayed ' Strange Sights to Be Seen in 1935 by Mr. and Mrs. U. O. Alumni When They Return." , Story Told With this promising beginning the story went on as follows: “University of Oregon, November 15, 1935.—Among the visitors to the campus to attend the U. of O.-O. A. C. football game this week were Mr. and Mrs. U. O. Alumnus, of Portland, whose son, Bob, is the well known captain of the varsity. Mr. and Mrs. Alum nus were prominent in the University in the days when Johnson hall was the center of the campus and the young medical student; were still struggling along in dear old, cramped old Deady. “Did you ever wonder what Mr. and Mrs. Alumnus would see ? At least two men on the campus now can tell you, and' those men art President P. L. Campbell and W. K. Newell, superintendent o. University buildings and grounds. Not only can- they tell you, bu _hey can show you pictures of the way the campus will look ’Whei Dreams Come True.’ First of all, Mr. and Mrs. Alumnus, of Portland, would not leave the train way dowh at the other end of Willamette street, but at “University Station." Oh, yes, indeed, there will be such a place. Station Forecast “Across Eleventh street, back of Villard, will be the artistic attle station where all trains will stop at ‘University of Oregon. Crossing Eleventh street they would enter the real front door ot vhe University. This front door will be in the form of an entrance archway opening onto the path leading up through the campus be tween the Oregon building and the Commerce building. Crossing thirteenth street, the path will lead through what is now Kincaio .ield, but it will not be a field then. It will be a beautiful quadrangle with buildings for classrooms and science laboratories. The sec ond building on the right of this quadrangle, Bob will point out as The Library.’ “Continuing along the tree-lined path, they will enter the Memo rial Court. This court, erected in honor of the University men who served in the world war, is one of the most beautiful and impressive spots on the campus. It will stand at the entrance of a massive au ditorium which will no doubt be the center of the student life of the University. The wing of the auditorium to the right of the court is a sound-proof music building. It seems that the student of 1950 who aspires to literary fame will not be disturbed by those who dream of operatic triumph. Auditorium, Museum Combined “The left wing of the auditorium will be the University museum. Yes, a museum that hope and dream of the days of 1921. Back of the auditorium is the building that was known in the days of ’21 as the music building, but it is now used as one of a group of men’s dormitories. “Turning east from these, Bob will no doubt point out the resi dence halls for University women. Hendricks hall and Susan Camp bell hall are as of old, only doubled. Yes, doubled. On each side of these halls, with a central dining room between, is another hall, practically a duplicate of the-first two. Imagine, if you can, two buildings which together will house *150 girls. “In the center of the women's quadrangle, directly behind John son hall, will be the household arts building. No, Mary Spiller hall is not here; its place has been taken by the addition to Hendricks hall. Imagination Fails “No doubt Mr. and Mrs. Alumnus will find many more changes, but our imagination fails us just now.” Well, at least the students of 1921 had ideas. Now, what were we talking about? Oh, sure! Of course we’ll have a student union building within 10 or 15 years. like a fascinating place, but since she had expressed her disapproval of card playing, her guides did not show her the interior, where they knew at least half of the custo mers would be playing bridge. Recent graduates can easily re member the spring of 1935, when dogs were restricted on the cam pus as a result of the rabies epi demic. The lack of canines was not noticeable. Sophomore men imme diately compensated for the scarc ity of fuzzy dog faces with their beard-growing contest. Facial fur, though human instead of canine, was very much in evidence. UO Religious Leader To Speak in Portland Annually attracting several thousand Portland residents, the Thanksgiving day address in the Portland civic auditorium will be given this year by Dr. James R. Branton, head of the department of religion. Speakers for this event tradi tionally have been drawn from outstanding stato citizens. Pre vious speakers have included President Erb and Dean Duback of Oregon. —ALUMS! Do You Read? ^™Here Is Neius for Yon Wr will send hooks of :in\ Anteriean publisher lo an\ address in the I . !S. A.

Two weeks ago it was solved but today the mystery is deeper than ever. , Two weeks ago Bill Kirtly solved the mystery by revealing that the victory bell came in the possession of the rally committee in 1933. Bill helped paint and mount it. A short time afterwards Gib Schnitzer's story came out. Frank Gives Bell Gib, whose father owns Alaska Jung Company, said that Aaron M. Frank bought a bronze bell from the Alaska Junk Company to give to the winner of the Oregon Oregon State football game in 1933. Oregon won the game and also the bell. The two bells couldn't be the same because Bill Kirtley helped paint his bell before the game in Portland where Oregon beat OSC and won Frank's bell. Besides this, one was a bronze bell and one was an iron bell. The rally committee has an iron bell now and has used it for some time. Where is the bronze bell that was won in Portland? An-a-bell Then the Sigma Chi’s revealed that they had a bell, but did they have the bronze bell ? No, they had a bell that they stole from Oregon State in 1914. It was sto len by Chris Maddock and two freshmen after a football game between Oregon and Oregon State. This bell was on the campus un til 1926, when the Sigma Chi's took it to Portland. After they got it up there they couldn't get it back so they hid it in Andy Cook's basement. Cook gave the bell to Dick Peters, who went to Portland last Send the Emerald home to Mom and Dad for the rest of the year for the special price of $2.2o. year and brought the bell to Eu gene after Oregon's game with Washington. Is-a-bell Another clue was the Pi Kapp's bell, but they said they got it this week from a logging camp in Coos 4 county. Now, in place of the one bell of two weeks ago, Oregon has three, and claims on a fourth. Where is the fourth ? Possibly some alum down for homecoming will reveal its hiding place and finally clear up the mys tery of Oregon's victory bells.
