lard hall—and those remembering
the Villard of former years will
' find internal changes nothing short
of complete.
Usual process in modernizing a
building is a thorough face-lifting;
however, Villard has been left, at

Freshman Arguments
The third annual oral arguments
for the University of Oregon law
school will open tonight at 7:30 p.
m. in room Fenton hall. The pur
pose of the arguments is to give the
freshmen law class a better under
standing of the cases they study for
their classes as well as some experi
ence in appellate work.
The cases are held in the supreme
court of the state of Hollis, on ap
peal from the circuit court of Fen
ton county. The mythical state of
Hollis is bounded on the north by
Oregon, south by California, east
by Idaho, and the west by the Pa
cific ocean.
Professor Allan Hugh Smith be

when he came to the faculty of the
University of Oregon law school
from the Harvard law school. Pro

are conducted by the committee of
the Presiding Justice, John C. O’
Kief, Logan Ninninger, and Carl
Griffith, all second year students
who participated in the arguments
last year.
The oral arguments will be giv
en in three sessions. The winter
term arguments are the qualifying
or preliminary arguments ; the
spring term arguments will be the
semi-finals; and finals will be held
next fall term. The winning team
of this year’s freshman class in the
finals will be presented with a set of

least externally, much the same.
The interior is a different story;
modern lighting such as few Uni
versity classrooms have, has been
installed and colors ranging from
chartreuse to dark brown have
been applied to the walls,

Linoleum Flooring
Students accustomed to the well
trod boards of Johnson and Friend
ly halls will find the underfoot sit
uation at Villard a pleasant con
trast-linoleum of various shades,
shapes, and design t has been laid
recently as a finishing touch to
making the classrooms ready for
use.
Both the first and second floors
are nearing completion at present;
speech department offices, now lo
cated in Friendly hall, will be
moved to the second floor of Vil
lard spring term. The first floors
will be offices, classrooms, reading
rooms and libraries of the speech
divisions.
On the third floor, work is still
progressing on the new headquar
ters for the radio division. Three
broadcasting studios will be served
by a central control booth. The
largest of the studios will accom
modate a large group, or may be
smaller broadcast without acousti
cal difficulty.
Modern Design
Classrooms and practice studios
will also be located on the third
floor. All are extremely modern in
design, and will give the University
top-flight radio accommodations
and facilities.
The theater wing and basement
dressing rooms are progressing at
a slower rate than the rest of the
building, due to the need for the
classrooms by spring term. How
ever, the cement facade has been
poured for the theater, and work
on the other exterior walls has been
extenive.
Overall work has been delayed
approximately one month by cold
weather; much of the work which
had to be done in exposed locations
could not be done, especially on
the stairwell and theater annex.
When the project is completed,
Villard will have three theaters,
the University radio studios, and
will be the center of activity for the
speech, drama, radio, and forensic
divisions of the speech de
partment—all under an exterior
which will stir the proper nostal
gia in old grads.
