Where Do We Study?
It’s a fine institution of higher learning we have here at
the University of Oregon. We are all proud of the impressive
buildings and the beautifully landscaped grounds. The entire
atmosphere is conducive to the academic life. Or, is it?
The intellectual demands of acquiring a college education
require a little more time than an eight-hour day, Monday
through Friday. Study two hours outside of the classroom for
every one hour in class, we are told. But where are we to
study ?
The Student Union or any of the campus coffee shops
furnish a pleasant environment for a half-hour of relaxation
between classes, but they are hardly the places to study.
The classroom buildings are in use most of the day and are
locked up in the evening. The dormitories and living organ
izations are not always the most quiet places on campus.
But there is always the library. Open until 10 Monday
through Thursday evenings (and until 9 on Sunday evening),
the library is about the most convenient and quietest place
students can find to study.
. The library is a fine place to study on weekday nights. But
what about the students who would like to study on weekends?
(And it isn’t just rumor that such students really exist.) What
if you can’t get all the assigned work done in the five-day
school week.
The library closes Friday and Saturday afternoons at 5.
Buildings with empty classrooms are barricaded against cam
pus scholars. Living organizations on weekend nights are
pure bedlam. The SU is always open if you think Shakespeare
or Rousseau can hold their own against a Fishbowl mixer.
The law school library is open until 11 on Friday nights, but
non-law students usually feel like interlopers in the hushed
atmosphere of Fenton hall. We have not yet investigated the
possibility of studying in the heating tunnels.
Finals are just around the corner, and we imagine there
will be an increasing number of harried students looking
for a place to study, even on weekends. Why couldn’t the
library stay open at least one night on each of the next two
weekends? We think it is unfair that the one place where
studying is possible is locked up at 5 p.m. Friday and Satur
day at this crucial time when a few hours of extra studying
can mean the difference between passing or flunking a
course.
We hope the library officials will give some consideration
to our request that the library stay open longer on these next
two weekends. If they do, we hope students will take advan
tage of the extra time to study. If they don’t, we will just have
to try out those heating tunnels. '
Make Way for Monkeys
We’ve noticed a lot of activity in the past few weeks around
Beady quonset, former home of the Emerald. The abandoned
“Shack,” we understand, is being made habitable for the
psychology department’s monkeys.
At first, we were rather indignant that the former Emerald
headquarters should be put to such a use. But in thinking it
over, we have come to the conclusion that the replacement of
Emerald staffers with experimental monkeys is not so terrible
after all.
The change, some have pointed out, will be so gradual
that most people won’t even notice the difference. There
is probably very little difference between the frantic scurry
ing and activity of campus journalists at deadline time and
the daily activity of monkeys. The psychology department
might even be able to train their monkeys to type, which
would be a great addition to the Emerald reporting staff.
We are just a bit put out, however, by the extensive re
modeling being done on the quonset to make every thing nice
and homey for the monkeys. No one thought of regulated
heat or plumbing for the Emerald staff when we occupied the
“Shack.” But then, maybe Emerald staffers are expendable,
whereas the experimental monkeys are not.
The monkeys, we hope, will like their new home. We never
minded (much) the old quonset when we lived there. But we
will resist to the end any attempt to put monkeys or alligators
or white mice in our “ivory tower” offices on the third floor
of Allen hall. We like it here.
Magazine Notes
Western Growth
SAN FRANCISCO-1 AP)-Fu
ture growth of the 11 Westefn
states "may be even more fan
tastic" than the record develop

national metalworking publica

out Thursday.
People and industry are pour
ing into the West at a startling
rate that is changing the whole
complexion of the country, the
weekly said.
Of the Pacific Northwest the
article said: This area is in
transition; despite its solid eco
nomic growth of the last 15 years
■its potential is still largely un
developed. Large quantities of
low priced electric power have
caused major changes. Alumi
num looms large in the economy,
providing jobs for more than
85.000 persons and with produc
tion about 35 per cent of the
U.S. total. Since 1940 non-farm
employment has jumped 81.7 per

Petition Deadline
Set for WUS Work
Petitions are being called for
seven chairmanships of World
university service committees.
All petitions should be turned
into the YMCA office in the Stu
dent Union by 5 p.m. Friday.
Chairmanships are open for
the following committees: fire
sides. solicitations, speakers, pub
licity, auction, carnival and spe
' cial events. One meeting of the
chairmen is planned before the
end of fall term.
World university service is the
channel through which students
of the world unite to “help each
other help themselves.” Money
gained from WUS projects helps
provide food, housing, textbooks,
and other facilities for students
in such countries as Korea. India
and Asia. Through this aid, WUS
helps combat communism.
At Oregon, WUS sponsors the
annual Ugly Man contest, the
vodvil show in connection with
■Junior Wreekend and the car
wash.
