History of Oregon’s Past Papers Given As Second Century of Journalism Begins (.wuiugr a ngre: i ne Knowing ar ticle, written by George S. Turn bull, acting dean of the school of journalism, is being published in newspapers throughout Oregon in commemoration of the centennial of the first newspaper published in Oregon, the Oregon Spectator, a photostat or which is reproduced on an inside page of this issue). Oregon starts her second cen tury of journalism with no single paper left that preceded 1850. The Oregon Spectator, first newspaper published west of the Missouri riv I ers had started, in Oregon City, Campus to Hear, 'Carmen’ Tonight at 8:30 in Igloo Opera has come to the University of Oregon. Tonight at 8:20 p.m. the San Carlo opera company will present Carmen at McArthur court. Brought to the Igloo under the auspices of the educational activities board, the opera will be a highlight of the winter term guest artist series. The Eugene Civic Music association is not sponsoring this presentation. Miss Marie Powers will star as Carmen. (This is contrary lu liic jiiiiiei ciiu a earner state ment that Miss Coe Glade would take the leading role.) Miss Powers studied in Europe with the origi nal Carmen, Emma Calve. Miss Calve is regarded by critics as being the greatest of all Carmens. After studying in France and; Italy, Miss Powers sang in several Italian operas. Her marriage to an Italian nobleman ended in tragedy when he died shortly before the Germans entered Italy. Miss Powers escaped and returned to the United States, her native country. She joined the San Carlo opera company shortly afterwards. Sang with Nilssen Sigurd Nilssen, professor of voice at the University sang with Miss Powers before she went to Europe in 1932. They did radio work together in New York City. According to Professor Nilssen she is the finest contralto in the United States today. Former Met Star. Starring in thg role of Esca millei the toreador., is Carlo Morelli, leading baritone of the company. He is a native of Chile. Morelli has sung with the Metro Opera companies, and is well known in North and South Ameri - ■. gmamz .mi.. CARLO MORELLI, Baritone, who will sing the part of Escamillo in the opera Carmen tonight. in North and South America and ca and in Europe. Critics agree that “this fine baritone is one of the most intelligent vocal artists in opera.’’ The rest of the cast has not been announced. meantime, several other newspap ers had started, in Oregon City, Milwaukie, and Portland; but only two of these, the Oregonian, born December 4, 1850, and the Oregon Statesman, born the following March 28 (moved to Salem two years later), have cqme down to the present. Sixty-two other newspapers, 15 of them dailies and almost all the others weeklies, have passed the half-century mark—which means that they were on the Oregon scene when McKinley and Bryan were waging their free silver-sound money campaign with torchlight processions and floods of oratory and brass-band music in the ar mories of ambitious little cities. Corvallis Paper Oldest Of these, the oldest is the Ga zette-Times of Corvallis, which through the Gazette, dates back to 1862. Next comes the Albany Democrat-Herald, dating to 1865 through the State Rights Demo crat (not Delazon Smith's Oregon Democrat of 1859). Not long after that, D. C. (DeWitt Clinton) Ire land left his combined typesetting reporting job on the Oregonian and started the Oregon City En terprise, in 1866. The Eugene Register-Guard came along the next year (1867)--when J. B. Alexander started the Guard. Eugene had several earlier papers, but the Guard was not related to them in any discoverable way. The. Catholic Sentinel, Portland, and the Roseburg News-Review both had 75-year anniversaries last year, having been established in 1870—the News - Review through gun-toting William L. (Bud) Thompson’s Plaindealer. Another newspaper' just past the three-quarter century mark this year is the McMinnville News-Re porter, now published by Edgar Meresse.

The four-story struc ture, holding lecture rooms, class rooms, laboratories, research rooms, machine shops, photo graphic laboratories, and animal houses, will be erected on the corner of Fourteenth avenue and Kincaid street. Designed by Lawrence and Lawrence, Portland architects, the building will be of modern design, with physics laboratories in the west wing, chemistry in the east wing, and biology in the central portion. Telescope Dome A revolving dome enclosing a telescope for research in astron omy will occupy the center top, and a greenhouse, approximately 30 by 80 feet, will top the west wing of the building. Preliminary plans were okayed by the state board of higher edu-» cation early in January, and archi tects and Supervising Engineer Will V. Norris have expressed hope that the detailed drawings will be available by summer, in which event, contracts on the project could be let the following fall. Dr. Norris, physics professor, made an extended trip to colleges and universities over the country in the fall of 1944 before plans fox' the present building were formu lated.
