The group discussion trophy, presented to the student who showed, to quote one of the judges, “the most intelligence in his conversation” was taken by Clark Robb of Dallas. Cups given by Burt Brown Barker, vise-president of the Uni versity, and E. E. DeCou, profes sor of mathematics and founder of the Oregon high school debate league in 1907, were won by Rose burg.

Construction Begins On Intramural Field The first section of a concrete retaining wall on the athletic field just west of the bleachers was poured recently, according to F. A. Cuthbert, University land scape architect. The wall will make the new intramural field level so that a track can be con structed. It will range from about one foot at its lowest level to six feet in height. Aside from the constrution of the retaining wall, little land scaping is planned for spring term. The mall will be seeded and some planting work will be done. Grading is being done north of the music building. Trees for the mall area will arrive in about a week. Several varieties of Eng lish oak will be planted in the mall region. No walk construction is planned for spring term, but some will be built next summer, it was an nounced.

GO FOR YOUR ROD, BROTHER!._ These two coeds, members of the coed rifle team, show here that they could “get their man” in more ways than one. Members of the team will be presented with awards soon. Members of the boys’ squad suffered extreme humiliation at the hands of the lasses this year, when they were outscored in a shooting match.

Reporter Says Nix On 'Fuzzy'Drinks Rule-Violators Lose Unregistered Cars Several students had their cars impounded for violations of rules and for failing to register their cars, according to Professor Law rence Hartwig of the automobile committee. The University requires that each student who operates an automobile register at the auto mobile office with the campus policeman, O. L. Rhinesmith. Pro fessor Hartwig said that many students, through carelessness or forgetfulness have failed to regis ter their cars, failed to reply im mediately to letters from the automobile committee, or have not worn registration stickers on their cars. If a student’s car is impounded for any of the above reasons, or for violation of driving rules, he must then petition the committee and give good reason for getting the car back. Students Must File For Teaching lobs All students who expect to complete their work for a second ary certificate next year and have not had supervised teaching, are requested to file their applications for student teaching with the school of education at once. Forms for applications may be secured at the office of the secre tary of the school of education. All students concerned are urged to file their applications at once because assurance of an oppor tunity to meet the state require ments for a teaching certificate can only be given qualified stu dents if these applications are on file before the close of spring quarter. Ward Jobs Open Student help is at a premium at the local Montgomery Ward store, announces Bill Martin, ad vertising manager of the estab lishment. Boys wishing to work should report to him at the down town store. Goods are being moved into a new addition of the building between 6 and 10 p.m. every evening. The work will last about a week, he reports. The gates of the main barracks of The Citadel, South Carolina military college, have been in use for 118 years. By JEAN SPEAROW “I don’t smoke and I don’t gar gle Hi Octane, but I do insist on NOT drinking malted milks any where near time to go on the air.” Don Forbes, Richfield news re porter who talked to journalism students here Wednesday, is tour ing the Northwest with his fel low announcer, John Wald, on a good will tour for Richfield gas oline, grinned as he explained the old radio bug-a-boo about ‘‘malt ed milk” voice. ‘‘It’s a fact that they make your voice fuzzy,” said Wald, and it’s also a fact that keeping your voice in good condition is very important for an announcer who must read 200 words a minute as is required of the Richfield re porters. , Portland is headquarters for the news broadcast this week. Each day Wald and Forbes trav el to some town in Oregon to talk to a group of people. Next week Seattle will be the base from which they will cover Washing ton. All roads may not lead to Hol lywood, as the saying has it they do, but there must be at least one from St. Paul which Mr. Wald traveled and another from Van cover, B. C., for Mr. Forbes to use. Wald, who is jokingly referred to by his cohort as “the matinee idol,” will soon be seen in “Wash ington Melodrama,” a moving picture. Both the reporters have been in pictures, Forbes working in “Yesterday’s Hero,” and both of them appearing in “Public Deb No. 1.” Seabeck Rally Stars YWCAers in Movies Movies, starring local members of the YWCA, will be shown at the Seabeck rally to be held at the bungalow April 3. After the showing of the movies, which were taken at the last Seabeck convention, organ ization of the plans for the dele gates to this year’s convention will be discussed. Genevieve Working and Virginia James will be in charge of the women’s dis cussion group and Charles Peetz will represent the men. Sirlging of Seabeck songs will conclude the early evening’s en tertainment. Three Hawaiians traveled 4,500 miles to attend the University of North Dakota. EXCESS • • • NYA Arranges Spring Work Unworked Hours Can Be Held Over After Short Period The first NYA payroll period of spring term is a short one, so NYA students will be permitted to “hold over’’ unworked hours and work them during the second period, April 16 to May 15, pro vided that the number they hold over plus their regular second period’s assignments do not ex ceed the federal limit of 57 hours. Students should notify the NYA secretary of the number of hours they want held over. At the end of the second period, students must have their hours worked up to date for they may not carry them over into the third period. That is, if a student has a 30-hour assignment each month, on May 15 he must have 60 hours worked. If it becomes apparent that a student is not going to be able to work out all his assigned hours, he should report that fact to the NYA secretary immediate1}'. Fail ure to do so will result in the University’s losing the hours and some needy student’s losing the chance to work them. Cabinet Members Of YWCA Will Meet At 5 p.m. Today The second meeting of the 1941-42 YWCA cabinet officers will be held this afternoon at 5 o’clock in the bungalow, Lois Nordling, president, announced last night.

HOUSING... New Book Room Nearing Finish Library Addition To Hold Collection Of Philip Brooks Hammers tap steadily in the spring sunshine as the new addi tion to the library, financed by Mrs. Lester Brooks, in memory of her husband, Philip Brooks, grows from a gangling structure into a graceful part of the build ing. Into the addition will go a col lection of about 2000 books, also a gift from Mrs. Brooks. Most of them are sets of standard works of American and English authors in English translations. Accord ing to M. H. Douglass, Univer sity librarian, many of the books are first editions, but they were bought by Mrs. Brooks not as collectors’ items, but as live, dusted books to read by the fire side. Graduate students will have first choice of the new 40 by 14 feet Brooks room. This is a stipu lation made by Mrs. Brooks, who feels that graduate students will use the books more than anyone else. Entrance to the room will be guarded by wrought iron gates from the home of the late Mr. Brooks, which will open into the Brooks room from the graduate reserve and special collections room. Construction is expected to be completed by May 3, Library day. Willamette-Gold Butter Reid’s Creamery Phone 365 (Adv.) hdley. THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT STUDYING “ON THE GREEN” . . .
