Historians Hard Pressed
For Time, Books, and Money
The history department of the
University of Oregon needs a big
ger faculty and more seating fa
cilities for students. At present,
Dr. Clark covers the various phases
of American history from Colum
bus to Truman, coast to coast. Dr.
Fish looks after all things British,
with a course in world history
thrown in.
Dr. LaFargue has replaced Dr.
Noble in modem European history
for this year, at the same time in
heriting the Oriental picture. Dr.
Breen spreads his energies over
about 25 centuries in ancient his
tory, Middle Ages, Renaissance,
and Reformation. Dr. Ganoe acts
as jack-of-all-trades in everything
from historical method to Hispanic
America.
Much to be desired faculty addi
tions call for instructors in an
cient, Oriental, and Hispianic
Arrlerican history.
Departmental library facilities
fall woefully short. One estimate
of the cost to bring one field up
to a creditable level was placed at
$10,000, if book purchases were
carefully made.
Courses Rotated
Shortage of seating facilities has
resulted in additional sections,
spreading the faculty’s time even
[ftinner. notation oi courses pre
sents an increasingly difficult situ
ation because of an enlarged en
rollment seeking specialized stu
dies. Spare time for research has
seen caught in the squeeze.
The one cure-all for the depart
nent’s ills is money. The solution
offered is to follow the lead of
ather universities in soliciting out
side support for the endowment of
ahairs and library.
Department of Religion
Operates On Shoestring
Dr. Paul Means’ department of
religion, given five lines in the
alass schedule book, is thought by
many to be almost non-existent.
Three of the courses are one
:erm affairs, two are in the lower
livision bracket, only one is on a
graduate level.
Though not offering major work
n the field, the University bears
a. responsibility to present a his
torical picture of the world’s re
igion3 and to introduce students
:o their rich literature. Dr. Means,
■vith degrees from Yale, Oxford
and Columbia, is willing and able,
'tn aroused student interest is
leeded to do the rest.

Co-op Store
Draws Fire
Lax Salesgirls, Prices
Disliked By Students
Contrary to popular opinion, the
main student criticism leveled at
the University co-operative store
does not concern prices. Students
are generally satisfied with co-op
prices, and a check-up by Sigma
Delta Chi investigators revealed
their merchandise in most cases is
marked as low or lower than that
of downtown stores.
Constructive student criticism
concerns the following points:
1. Poor service. Two out of three
students contacted complained of
poor help from co-op sales-people.

Long waits are often necessary be
fore a customer can get attention.
This condition prevails during slack
hours as well as between-class
rushes. Salesgirls are particularly
guilty of talking with one another
or with a friend while a prospec
tive customer is forced to wait.
2. Cash rebate for receipts. All
students are in favor of lower
prices instead of the five percent
rebate at the end of the year. A
four percent mark down of co-op
prices was preferred in place of
the cash rebate of five percent now
allowed on cash register receipts
accumulated throughout the year.
3. More ads in Emerald. Co-op
was criticized for small amounts
of ads run throughout the year in
the Emerald. General feeling is
that co-op should advertise special
merchandise when in stock so all
students would know when it is
available.
4. Book prices and reselling
price. Student criticism was sharp
on prices of text books required for
classes. Naturally this only con
cerned those students not attending
school on the G. I. bill. It is felt
that either initial purchase price
should be lowered or amount re
turned when buyer resells text book
should be substantially increased.
5. Book department. Currently^
trending to predominance of popu
lar “best sellers,” etc. over good
editions of the classics, good books
on aft, music, etc. Lack of trained
bookshop keeper to keep the de
partment well stocked and in
viting.
