Portland Rally Plans Move
'Boost Oregon'
^ ASUO Slogan
For Thursday
Rooters Wear Lids,
Badges to Honor
Oregon at Rally
California has its Admission day.
Hawaii has its Kamehameha’s
birthday. The Chinese have their
New Year's celebration. Now the
University is having its “Boost
Oregon” day.
Sponsored by the ASUO rally
committee, Thursday has been set
aside as “Boost Oregon” day with
^ the slogan, “wear the colors.” At
same time the white-clad squad
of fourteen are reviving the tra
dition of men wearing rooters' lids
to football games.
Lid Sale Arranged
The rally committee has taken
over the sale of the green cha
peaux from the Co-op and will
erect booths at the College Side
and at the Co-op at 4 o’clock today
to begin the campaign.
Only Webfoots wearing the of
ficial badge of an Oregon rooter
will be welcomed into the cheering
section at the grandstand for the
Washington game in Portland as
well as in the future home football
games, Les Anderson, rally com
mittee member and chairman of
"Interfraternity council is being
contacted to put into effect the dy
ing statute that all lowerclassmen
are required to wear a rooter’s
lid and juniors and seniors will also
. be asked to cooperate by wearing
* the hats Thursday,” Anderson said.
Coeds Will Cooperate
Coeds will be asked to flaunt
Oregon’s colors Thursday by wear
ing lemon and green bows or
dresses of suitable colors, Ander
son stated.
Another tradition that is slowly
dying out, but which the Univer
sity pep squad plans to stimulate
is the singing of Oregon’s pledge
song at the end of the game.
Interfraternity council and
heads of houses will be contacted
to remind them that their fresn
men should know word's to the
song by Saturday, Rally Head Pat
Keller declared.
What s Your Major
At open house last Sat’day eve
^ We all had lots of fun
Making conversation
and meeting everyone.
Of all the subjects mentioned
One seemed to have no fame.
That was the touchy outcome
Of the UO-Stanford game.

Beattie Announces
Extension Service
Personnel Shifts
Several changes have been made
in the extension department office
staff, according to W. G. Beattie,
assistant director in general exten
sion.
Mrs. Elsie M. Isotoff, formerly
record clerk in the correspondence
study department, has been made
secretary in the assistant director's
office. She succeeds Mrs. Marcella
B. King, who resigned to become
secretary of the University sum
mer session.
Miss Blanche Browne, June '40,
r is taking the place vacated by Mrs.
Isotoff. Miss Mary Sheldon re
places Miss Muriel Beckman in the
mimeograph room.
Birds What Give
Campus da Bird
Still on Loose
“The bird what gives yo the
bird" has been the cause of much
disturbance at sleeping porches
lately. Exhausted students who
turned in early find themselves
tossing restlessly to the tune of
a noisy “choiping and boiping”
from the outer regions of night.
Some romanticists insist the
wild geese are responsible for
the uproar as they leave the Ore
gon mist country for the balmy
south. But, from the pages of
our manual on birdology, it is
found that the wild goose emits
a honk, not a “choip.” Residents
of Susie suspect “Wendell," Mar
thella's patriotic elephant. He
squeaks.
Until the mystery is solved,
cotton and earmuffs are good in
sulators against birds, cold, or
what have you ?
Say . . . maybe it’s Yehudi!
Students to Form
Debating Teams
Symposium Group
To Give Programs
Throughout State
Students interested in syposium

including service clubs, high school
assemblies, granges, women’s
clubs, fraternal societies, church
organizations, and other college
groups.
These teams are organized to
provide amateur speakers with
realistic audiences before which
they may appear and to give the
tax-payers of the state a share of
the information the students have
uncovered at the University.
Professor Dahlberg urges all in
terested students to try out for the
team tomorrow night at 7:30 in 107
Friendly.

Summer Project
A special research problem, con
cerned with the speciation of the
plant lupin, and general field work
occupied the summer of Dr. L. E.
Detling, curator of the herbarium,

Architects Plan to Construct Paved 'Mall'
To Run From Newly-Erected Dad's Gates
To Oregon and Commerce Halls
By BERNIE ENGEL
Oregon’s campus improvement program is scheduled to go on
through this winter with the moving of the Southern Pacific
tracks to a point north of the millrace and the turfing of the
present bald spots in the area between Thirteenth street and
the library.
About January 1 the state highway department is expected to
start relocating the highway north of the campus to accomodate
the proposed turn-around in front
of the new gates. Planting on the
bald spots should be completed
within a month, according to Fred
A. Cuthbert, associate professor of
landscape architecture.
‘Mall’ Planned
Eventually, architects plan to
construct a paved road mall run
ning from the Dads’ gates on
Eleventh to Thirteenth street be
tween the Commerce and Oregon
buildings. This would be used only
for ceremonial and state occasions,
not for general vehicular travel.
It is proposed to terminate the
mall with a turn-around at each
end. Franklin boulevard would be
landscaped along the campus side
while Thirteenth would be paved
to the present sidewalk lines and
the space thus gained used for a
grass center-strip.
Turn-Arounds Planned
Instead of tearing out Thir
teenth and seeding the area, as has
been proposed, plans now call for
the circular turn-around to slow
traffic and for a building closing
the street at the University street
junction turning it into a dead-end.
The student union building may
go either at Thirteenth and Uni
versity or on the vacant field at
Fourteenth and Kincaid, across
Kincaid from the art museum, ac
cording to Mr. Cuthbert.
Shown on the accompanying dia
gram is a building on Kincaid in
front of the library, facing the
present museum. This may be con
structed as a natural history mu
seum, Cuthbert said.
Two New Buildings
Also scheduled are extensions,
shown by shaded areas, to many of
the present University buildings.
Two new building would be erected
in the vacant area between Frank
lin boulevard, Kincaid street,
Deady, and Commerce and Oregon.
Flanking the mall, architects
plan to have concrete sidewalks,
part of a new system of campus
crosswalks. New dormitories may
be put up on any of several sites
to the east of the main campus.
The new gates were constructed
with a gift of about $5,000 from
the Dads’ club and With a WPA
grant of around $20,000. Federal
aid will probably be sought for
much of the proposed work, ac
cording to Mr. Cuthbert.
Tempo Steps Up
On '41 Oregana
Two-Weeks Drive
Hopes to Net 150;
1,851 Copies Sold
"We are starting a concentrated
two-week Oregana drive today
with the object of selling at least
150 more copies,” Dick Williams,
business manager of the Oregana
announced Monday. There will be
a sales agent in each living organ
ization.
By yesterday afternoon 1851
copies of the book had been or
dered. If 150 more are sold during
the next two weeks, it w!U bring
the total to about two thousand,
which will be about a 9 per cent
increase over the sales at this time
last year, Williams explained.
Planning on usual spring and fall
term sales, he hopes at least 2500
copies will be distributed Junior
weekend.
46 House Salesmen
When organization representa
tives are all appointed, there will
be about 46 of them. Their names
will be released as soon as all ap
pointments are made.
Independents who wish to make
down payments on Oreganas are
asked to come to the Oregana of
fice in McArthus court between 1
and 5 in the afternoon.
Williams made it clear that no
orders would be taken without a $1
deposit, whether the person holds
an athletic card of not.
Former, Present University Campus Plans Compared
By BYRON MAYO
While everyone is excited over
the completion of the new Univer
sity of Oregon entrance gates, and
discussing the plana for the mall
development, a small faculty group
enjoy remembering that almost two
decades ago, in the early 1920's,
the whole school was so enthusias
tic over another plan for the “cam
pus of the future,” that an exact
scale model, costing almost a thou
sand dollars, was constructed by
Chas. D. James, of Portland, Ore
gon, at the request of the Univer
, sity- i
Comparing these original plans
with the present campus, and with
the drawings of the future campus,
as viewed in the landscape archi
tectural offices, it can be seen that
some features of the early model
were used, but that numerous
buildings and additions shown,
were either changed, or not includ
ed at all.
A wide mall was planned, the
same as today beginning at the
University gates, recently finished.
However, instead of the mall lead
ing up to the new library, the 1921
sketches call for a huge domed au
ditorium, facing memorial square,'
on the ground where the present
library stands.
Drama Building Planned
On theaeast side of this square,
and connected to the auditorium,
there was to be a drama building,
built around a small court, such as
in the art school.
On the west side, opposite the
drama building, they were to build
a music buildings the same size
and architecture as the others.
The museum is in the approxi
mate spot that was planned for it,
although the architecture differs j
from the original proposal.
Across the square from the mu
seum, the University library was
to have been erected. Faculty, stu
dents, and outsiders, all agree,
though, that the library, as it is
now, is one of the most outstand
ing on the Pacific coast.
Early Plan Impressive
On down the mall, Chapman and
Condon halls face each other, just
as on the old model. These struc
tures, however, as shown in the
Johnson hall lobby, were to be
much larger, with two long wings
on each side.
Down the mall, across the road
from the new gates, and next to
the railroad tracks, the architects
drew plans for a University depot
and railroad station. This would
have afforded newcomers to col
lege an excellent view of the long
mall, flanked by impressive build
ings, all the way up to the huge
domed auditorium, with its long
dow of tall white pillars.
Additions to Hendricks and Su
san Campbell halls were to have
been erected, also. Back of the ad
ministration building, there was go
ing to be a domestic science build
ing. This would have completed the
women's quadrangle.
Aside from the men’s gymnasium,
a few minor constructions and lit
tle additions, this was the complete
Oregon campus, as It was in the
minds of the architects. Many pro
posals had to be discarded for var
ious reasons, and many of the
buildings were erected, but not in
the same positions as planned.
However, many architectural
critics claim the campus, as it is
now, and as it will be in the future
is more beautful than any of the
older models.
Activities
Get $300
Increase
Attention Given
Portioning of Funds
For Student Union
In their first meeting of the term
the educational activities board
last night voted to allocate $300 in
funds for additional educational
activities; discussed the appor
tionment of funds for the student
union; heard a report on the
Greater Artist Series; voted again
to add the Eugene Gleemen to the
list of attractions, and heard a fi
nancial report.
The additional appropriation
was voted to cover such varied
items as educational pictures, lec
tures, musical recitals, etc., which
are not now part of the program
of the board. In voting the appro
priation the board decided to give
free admission to all students as a
regular part of their educational
activities fee.
A financial report for education
al activities was read and ap
proved. The apportionment in the
report of funds for the student un
ion was given considerable atten
tion with no definite final action
taken.
The board also heard a report on
the sale of season tickets to the
Greater Artist Series and voted to
add the Eugene Gleemen, a favor
ite last year with students, as a
bonus attraction on the series.
Athletic Card
