Spend Vacation
Near Los Angeles
Approximately thirty landscape
architecture students from the
University of Oregon and Oregon
State college tal'e leave for Los
Angeles, Friday, March 11, on the
department’s annual spring vaca
tion field trip.
The group, accompanied by Pro
fessor and Mrs. F. A. Guthbert,
and Mr. D. E. Thompson, of the
landscape architecture department,
and Professor W. Dorr Legg of
Oregon State visited some famous
parks, campuses, and residential
areas in the Los Angeles sector,
which are good examples of land
scape architecture.
In addition, numerous housing
developments and city planning
projects were all included in the
group’s itinerary. For these rea
sons, a few students in the regular
architecture school accompanied
the landscapers on the trip.
Ralph Cornell, noted Los An
geles architect, George Hunting
ton, and Dorothy Wright, former
Oregonians, arranged the sched
ule for the college group. These
southern-Californians also acted as
guides while the students were in
the city.
The schedule included visits to
the Elysian park, Santa Anita
race track, UCLA campu3, Pasa
dena area, Bel-Air district, Hol
lywood, and Huntington park.

Tunnels to Contain
Extension of Wires
For Phone System
Extension of the underground
telephone wire system on the cam
pus is being made by the Pacific
Telephone and Telegraph company.
Wirps in lead cables are being
placed in the tunnels between
Thirteenth street, the extension
building, and the heating plant.
"This will be an improvement
to the whole setup as it will rid
the campus of more telephone
wires strung around from pole to
pole," stated I.). L. Lewis, superin
tendent of the physical plant.
The tunnels which will extend
from the heating plant to the mu
sic school when completed will con
tain hot water and steam pipes,
and wires for electricity as well
as the telephone wires.

For Spring Term Desserts
Desserts during fall term are vi
tal. They give new students a
chance to get acquainted and help
tile flock who got themselves "un
pinned” over the summer to get
back in the swim. But by spring
term, when everybody knows ev
erybody anyway, desserts need
something to give them zest for
existence.
There’s no better place for that
new lease on life to begin than in
the food. For six months previous
to that eventful day in March when
spring begins, white-jacketed boys
have been slipping a slab of ice
cream under desserting noses with
half-apologetic shoves.
From then until June, the usual
policy is to merely add a few
crushed strawberries on top. Or
else strawberry shortcake. Now ev
erybody loves those first straw
berries, and the guests have prob
ably bribed their cook into serving

Be Unusual
So try something' different. If
ice cream seems inevitable, why
not use refreshing' pink pepper
mint in tall sherbet glasses instead
of the inevitable brick model ?
Strive to give the table that look
of "spring” that makes the party
a success.
The girls next door might be
surprised if they are confronted
with a gay red piece of early melon
sometime in May, but they’ll think
it’s novel. Iced coffee instead of
the usual hot variety, or punch,
tea, and other cool drinks will give
a dessert a quality of restfulness.
New Ideas
Several houses are dwelling on
spring term variety in entertain
ment. Bowling and skating parties
are in line for their share of at
tention. After a session of activity,
the field is wide open for more
substantial food, for coeds have
big appetites after a workout, too,
and they’ll dive into a stack of
sandwiches with gusto.

Oerlinger hull's Mrs. Edith Sie
fert has bpcn for the past spvpn
years mother, hostess, and friend
to the whole University of Ore
gon.
"I get to know everyone sooner
or later,” she smiled, her hands
busy with knitting. Every day from
h t small apartment next to the
beautiful Alumni room she sees
the file of students going to class
es.
Mrs. Siefert is the quiet guar
dian of what is perhaps the activ
ities center of the campus. She eats
her lunch while basketballs bounce
up and down in the gym and while
the dancing classes sharpen their
1.rush-tap-step routine to the tune
of ".Scatterbrain.”
"7i> rounds rotiay
Independents are her special
charges. She orders the punch and
cookies for their parties and sees
that the ice is delivered on time.
She also guards the antique cop
per service which is brought out
almost weekly to shine on the tea
cloths of some University club or
honorary.
Her only objection to activities
is the muddy tracks of late-for
class students which spatter across
Alumni hall in rainy weather.
She doesn't think students
change much—except for their
clothes. The boys still eat all the
food that's left, she says, and the
girls still want to know if she has
a bobby pin.
Her contacts are an increasing
source of enjoyment and she speaks
often and emphatically of the "zest
and cooperation of young people.”
“Sunset on Dawns”
"I guess the most beautiful thing
on the campus is the sunset across
the lawns ...” she added, irrele
vantly.
Mi's. Siefert has a mental file of
student biography and anecdote
that is fascinating. Her memories,
however, are not of who made Mor
tar Board, but of the music stu
dents who practice on Sundays on
the grand piano. She may not re
call committee heads, but the girls
who decorated for a dance on a
one-dolla’r budget are special peo
ple to her.
So she keeps house in her ivory
tower apartment and watches each
year's quota of new students come,
while checking the laundry and
seeing that someone dusts the
banisters.

UO Poetrq Group
New Organization

sor of English, has announced for
mation of a poetry-reading group
which will become active with the
start of this term.
An extracurricular activity, the
group is open to all students who

Moll .States Aim
“The aim,’’ stated Professor
Moll, “is to stimulate interest in
contemporary poetry.”
The local group will be a branch
of a nationwide organization
known as the League to Support
Poetry, with headquarters in New
York and chapters in major col
leges and universities in the Unit
ed States. William Rose Benet is
president of the league.
Unestablished I’octs
Poems read and discussed by
students at informal meetings will
be those submitted to the league
by unestablished contemporary
poets whose works have not yet
appeared in book form.
Names of students who have
joined include: Bob Hiatt, Fred
Timmen, Ronald Hankins, Virgene
Wade, Drusilla Johnson, Dennis
Bakewell, Dean Dwyer, Jane Pen
gra, and Ruth Jordan.
Contest Will Feature
Personal Libraries
A personal library contest will
be sponsored by the University
library to celebrate National Book
week, which begins May 3. Cash
prizes for the purchase of books
will be awarded in two divisions,
graduate and undergraduate. En
trance deadline is noon, April 30,
and any registered student’s libra
ry is eligible.
The libraries will be judged on
usefulness to their owners and on
their value as the nucleus of an
interesting library for future years
rather than on the total number of
books or their money value. Text
books are excluded.

Morse Wins Praise
For Dispute-Settling
The "noteworthy accomplish
ments" of Wayne L. Morse, Ore
gon's law dean and Pacific coast
maritime .labor arbitrator, are
praised in "Waterfront. Boss,” an
article by William Flynn In the
February issue of “The Coast.”
The article traces his life and
outlines his legal achievements.
Commending Dean Morse’s arbi
tration policies, it describes the
peace they have brought to the Pa
cific coast’s waterfront.
Honesty and integrity for the ar
bitrator and unqualified respect
for legal rights by the parties to
the dispute are, says this article,
the principles upon which Dean
Morse’s arbitration is based.
The article declares that "his
philosophy of social justice” and
his "respect for constitutional gov
ernment" linked by an "unshakable
trust in the ability of the demo
cratic process to reach valid and
equitable conclusions” form an in
tellectual background which lias
established Dean Morse’s standard
for judgment of labor disputes.
