It doesn’t take a mysterious seer to predict greater things in the future for the University science departments. The promise of a new building within the next few years is one as surance that the departments can expand to meet the needs of an increasing enrollment and a generation interested in the fields of physics, chenristry, biology, and astronomy. The study of science at the University suffered a set-back in 1932 when Oregon State college was designated as the ex clusive science major school in the state system. Ten years later, the college of liberal arts was established at the Univer sity, and Oregon regained its science departments. Although the departments of biology, chemistry, physics, and astronomy have been hampered by inadequate facilities, they have earned due recognition in the last three years. At present the departments arc housed in Dead}' hall, the oldest building on the campus, and McClure, not so ancient, but inadequate. .The new building will be designed to take care of the specific needs of the departments.‘The chemistry department will be housed in the cast wing, physics in the west wing, and biology in the central portion. A telescope for re search in astronomy will lie enclosed in a revolving dome in the center top. Animal houses and a greenhouse will be other interesting and necessary features of the structure. It is particularly appropriate that the science building should be the first of the University classroom structures to be built. The war, with its startling use of atomic energy and with its emphasis on the importance of physical sciences, has given new impetus to scientific research. The sooner the University provides the necessary facilities, the sooner the science depart ments can meet the challenge of postwar education. fjab Oppatitunities . . . “Full employment” has become a slogan since the end of the war, and the University pays its share of attention to the question academically and practically. One of the University .services, the employment bureau, has served notice already that students who arc leaving school at the end of the year, and who want jobs, should file their credentials at the bureau office soon. The employment office at the University functions as other general employment sendees do. It must have the academic records, biographical data, and information on previous em ployment of students who are applicants for specialized jobs. Since the University bureau attracts more attention as the center for students hunting part-time or vacation jobs, its value to the graduate often is forgotten. It can serve the graduates efficiently only if they cooperate by filing their cre dentials so that they are easilv accessible. Mrs. Jeanette TTalmer at the employment office already has received inquiries from prospective employers. She is expect ing personnel representatives from business concerns to visit the campus soon to interview student applicants. She will be able to notify applicants of job opportunities if those students who are looking for positions make their information and wishes known. Recently, however. Dean William Howling of the College of Liberal Arts, Washington University, in an address welcoming new students brought forth a new thought on women at work. Dean Howling said ". . . They (college women) alone have the privilege of training themselves for efficient and effective service in the post-war world.” « juiii!iiiiiiiiii!ii!!iiiiii!iiininiiiiiiiiiiiiinirntnini!i!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiTiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiTiiiiiiiMiiiiiinnniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiinn /l ^bucJz at the ^biat By PAT KING A Californian and two Midwesterners are richer today by $5,000 of Jack Benny’s money. Chief Judge Fred Allen announced the winners of the I Can’t Stand Jack Benny” contest on the Benny show Sunday. The winning verse that snagged $2,500 in voctory bonds for the grand prize winner, Carroll P. Craig Sr., of Pacific Palisades, uaniorma, is printed Deiow: He fills the air With boasts and brags And obsolete Obnoxious gags. His cowardice Alone, indeed, Is matched by his Obnoxious greed, And all the things That he portrays Show up my own Obnoxious ways! That’s Gratitude Ish Kabibble of Kay Kyser’s band, whose Dutch boy bangs are becoming quite the rage among campus coeds, discovered that the car parked next to his at the Santa Anita race track last week was on fire. He broke the window glass and put the fire out before the engines had arrived. A week later he received a bill from the owner of the car for the broken window. Although he couldn’t prevent a burglary in his own home, Larry Smith, NBC newscaster, drove two vagrants from a house 2000 miles away. Two would-be burglars has tily departed from the home of an El Paso housewife when they heard a man’s voice in another room. The voice was of Mr. Smith who was giving his regular newscast over the radio in an adjoining room. Strange Fascination Dick Bartholomew, 22-year-old ensign who was erroneously refer red to as a swabby in a previous column, rated to be the most eli gible bachelor in the country after winning the Mr. Hush contest on ‘‘Truth or Consequences.” After the broadcast he received three marriage proposals by telephone. Besides being the traditional tall, dark, and handsome, he now has a two-year supply of Nylon stock ings, a $1,000 diamond ring, a full length silver fox coat, and a dia mond and ruby wrist watch—to mention a few of the prizes that total $13,500.

Powder Burns iiiiiiiiniiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiniiiiiiiiiiimHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiinniiiilfliniiiiniiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiii By Rex Gunn — As game time approached for the tournament finals, he became aware of a severe throbbing in his temples. It persisted. It became a mad conberto of screeching sneekers, shrill whistles and frenzied yells. He felt his limbs go weak, his kidneys numb, his tongue thick and coated. Mumbling some sort of gibberish, he stumbled out of the crowded building, made his way in heavy pain home. Trembling and shaking, he fell on his bed and felt the world dis integrate around him. He thought of death. The glassy eyes were tongue enough. His mind gave in. Why Constant Hopes? “Why constant hopes and fears and fleeting joys .• . . they end them all in gaul and caustic sanity . . . why, having none, to know the worth of gold ... to know of day, and live in death with night. ~“* “Glimpse of an abyss . . . touch of a tomb ... let me die, I want to die.” He felt the clammy walls—A sollen plush of furniture. He thought he felt it as a shroud. I guess it was about ten min utes—he began to develop chills and his groin swelled. His hands were restless and his pulse was mad. Asked a thing, no answer came; he merely shook and said: ‘‘I want to die.” The doctor came. He looked and felt and poked and paused. “Get up,” he said. The eyes rolled and fell away: “I can’t get up.” » stand on your feet.” The eyes blinked cognizance . . . he rolled on his stomach, pushed up to his knees . . . stepped to the floor, rivulets of sweat streamed down his bare, thin legs into the rug. , Could he have died for lack of will to live ? Get Up! ‘Get up,” the doctor £ 0 y Back When reen Decreed Basic Color for Sports; Capers’ Intruder Unnoticed; Girl Ousted By Trudie Chernis ar.d Dottie Habel Thirty Years Ago Sophomores Want A Represent ative: The idea of giving the soph omores a representative in the student council was favored by the majority of the sophomore class. Campaign to regulate over - or ganization: Over-organization was the predominating evil on the cam pfis at the present time, declared the chairman of the committe ap pointed to look into the mater. He added, “We try to carry on as many activities as the big univer sities with the result that the stu dents with the most executive ability belong to so many they can’t give their best to any one, and consequently, all suffer.” Examination of coeds’ feet show ed three out of 23 near perfect. Most of the girls had flat feet from wearing high heels and point ed toes. Twenty Years Ago To-Ko-Lo, men’s sophomore hon orary organization, pledged 15 of the outstanding freshmen on the campus. In 1912 To-Ko-Lo was or ganized to create friendly rela tions among the underclassmen of men’s living organizations. The order conducted the annual frosh parade in the fall and kept close contact with the “delinquent first year men,” Stanford Girls Grow Larger; Wear Less. . . and so goes an Em erald head of yesteryear. Statistics showed that the fashionable length of skirts had shortened 12 inches during the last 30 years, the width decreased from 56 inches to about 30 with seven to eight petticoats discarded. The wasp-waisted and delicate girl was no more. The women of 30 years before were about one or two inches shorter and weighed three or four pounds less. Oregon to Have Color Scheme for All Sports. A program which called for consistent colors for all Oregon sports was presented be fore the Executive Council. It was felt that there was a need for a I standard Oregon color for all | sports and that the basic color ; should be green. About 50 students were enrolled . in the camp cooking class. Both i men and girls took the course but J the men predominated. The fel i lows were working on quick breads, j pancakes, and scones. From the campus bulletin: Sophomore men who have ordered sweaters call at the Coop today between two and four for their sweaters. They have been dyed : a bright blue and look better than they formerly did. Cosmetics on coeds’ cheeks aroused the animosity of profs. "Shall we forbid rouge and powder entirely in our educational institu tions,” they pondered, or ask ‘‘that discretion shall be used.” Ten Years Ago BEFORE: Coed Capers in GsaW* linger Hall; Cops on Guard. Danc ing to the gay music of Jack Mc Carthy’s ten-piece orchestra,.skits, and the most exciting event of all, the choosing of the best skit and the two best costumes were to be on he program. Over 800 girls were expected. AFTER: Oregon men gazed, blinked at antics of capering co eds. Thrice did the cops toss out Norma Lyons, feminine, but through the entire evening, Theta Chi Bob Wagner watched the en tire program and told an interest ing tale: ‘‘One girl'was dressed as a hula girl and didn’t have much on” . . . “We danced and had a swell time taking turns leading.” ... “I don’t see how the girls stand so much gooey makeup, and I don’t like ice cream flavored with lipstick . . . and so on. Promenading with Polly: Polly found two dresses in one with her purchase at Barnharts. This is a plaid, green, orange, and brown skirt with a brown velveteen jack et and saucy plaid scarf. She carf^ wear the skirt and jacket separ ately, too, and have an entirely different costume so her school dress problem is no longer in a quandry.
