Leighton, dean of the University school of physical education, speaking on the gym nasium and its place in the school, pointed out that Oregon’s concern at the present time is in provid ing a program to promote physi cal growth and development of the child. To this end the physical education program has been aim ed. “The physical education pro gram should not be looked upon as an expansion of the sports pro gram,” he emphasized. Walter Snyder, curriculum di rector, Salem, speaking dh the auditorium of school buildings, told conference members that utility and not esthetics should be the major consideration in plan ning the school auditorium. The swimming pool was discuss ed by Thomas Gill, assistant di rector of .first aid, water safety and accident prevention, who pointed out to, the educators that although it is often thought of as an expensive recreation facility, if regarded in terms of health ben efits, body conditioning, and en joyment,. the i swimming pool is really economical. “No project is more universally accepted or en joyed than a swimming pool,” he declared. Miss Bertha Kohlhagen, state supervisor and teacher trainer in home economies education, Oregon State college spoke on the place of the cafeteria in the school building.

Sam Ben veniste portrayed to perfection her constant swain Egaste, who was also Valere’s devoted servant. Sganarelle’s more - modern brother Ariste (Don Moss) and his ward Leonor (Helen Tims) helped prove that in 1663, as in 1946, more flies were caught with sugar than vinegar. Several interludes particularly capturing the interest and appre ciation of the audience were the clever scene and song between Isabelle, Lysander (Gordon Hal stead) and Sylvester (Earl Ladd); the quartette “Ignorance Is Never Bliss,” with Valere, Argaste and the 1st and 2nd lackeys (Lloyd Domaschosky and Robert Gatch ett); and the ballet scene with Gene Edwards and Pat King. All in all, .the lovely presenta tion out-sparkled its occasional weaknesses in smooth production. Wit and wisdom combined in rhyme, given in modern lingo with plenty of bright background and gay music, makes up this tasteful tale, heartily recommended to Uni versity theater-goers. 'Straight-Jacket' Schools Deplored by Speaker The importance of master plan ning in school building, especially where units are built separately, was stressed by Dr. Charles W. Bursch, chief of the division of schoolbuilding planning of the California department of education, at the discussions of overall plan ning. Plans of architects for school buildings were heard by the edu cators at the Thursday morning sessions of the group, with an ex hibition of a design of kinder gartens, planned by University architecture students, displayed. Elementary School Plans C. N. Freeman, Portland archi tect, presenting plans for an ele mentary school, pointed out the importance of site, the established teaching program, and the fixed or limited budget as factors to be considered by the architect. Site and area requirements should call for early consultation of the archi tect, Freeman advised, and adult and community participation should always be considered in planning the elementary school. Howard R. Perrin, Klamath Falls architect, discussing archi tecture for the junior high school emphasized the need of flexibility in planning the building, allowing for changes that may be necessi Three Named as UO Alum Officers Newly appointed as members” at-large of the executive commit tee of the University of Oregon alumni association are C. R. Ma nerud of Eugene and John Hous ton of Klamath Falls, announced Ernest Haycox, Portland, who is president of the association. Both men will serve for three years. Sidney Milligan, Eugene, was appointed as Lane county alumni director and member of the alum ni council. Milligan, who will serve until December, 1948, recently re turned to Eugene after four years’ army service. He received his LL.B. degree from the University law school in 1938. tated by changes in enrollment of program. No Straight Jackets “The school building should not be a ‘straight-jacket’ for educa tion, but should be designed -Re serve the need of the student, and help create a richer life for the future citizen,” Pietro Belluschi, Portland architect, emphasized in discussing plans for the senior high school. He stressed the importance of the school building appearance to the adolescent students, point ing out that they are very sensi tive to their environment. For senior high schools of the future, he forsees the replacement, almost entirely, of natural light by arti ficial light, practically, eliminating windows; plastic walls; a multitude of colors; and use of murals and artistic work to stimulate the self-expression of youth.
