THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX. PORTLAND, - MAY' 16, 1920 - TT-W T y. " - : - A Si . 3k . V" " ' ' ' ' f yVji. if "v " l' ' " ' fiI -i.Vi Jl , y " h' I AN open letter to the women's clubs of Oregon has been ' sent out by the Monday Book club of Eugene as an appeal for all the women to vote for and Work for the millage measure for higher, educa tion. It says: "On February 18 the University of Oregon held an 'open house' for the people of Eugene. The purpose of this occasion was to give to all who might care to see the opportunity, to visit the. campus and buildings and observe there the conditions upon which the university is basing its plea ' for greater support from the state! "Among the hundreds who visited the university on this occasion were many members of the Monday Book club; and it is our wish, in this let ter, to tell you, members "" of other women's clubs of the etate, exactly what we saw and learned ;in order that you, too, may become impressed, as we were, with the vital necessity of granting the university and at the eame time the Agricultural- college and the Normal scnool -the financial relief of which it is so manifestly in need. "All over the campus we found evi dences of congestion, overcrowding and Inadequate facilities for handling the large classes and laboratory sec tions. Every available square foot of room has been utilized, and classes, with their instructors, have been shifted about, in many cases to un-J suitable quarters. ' "The seating capacity of the reading-room in connection with the library is 211. This is the only gen eral study-room for a student body of over 1700, and the ofily one, of couse. where the students can 'work with the bonis in the library. At every, hour of the day and until 10. o'clock at night this room is crowded, with overflows into the v halls and corridors of the building. The stock . rooms for books are filled to capacity and further expansion is impossible. "In Deady hall, the oldest building on the campus. In which are housed the departments of physics, botany, zoology and romance languages (all In one building), we found some of the most distressing; congestion. Espe cially in need of remedy is the con dition of the collection of specimens in the department of botany. This collection, the best one of. Its kind in the northwest, is stored in packing cases, where it might easily be de stroyed by fire and where it is, of course, of no present use for class work. It seems to us that one of the most imperative needs of the uni versity is a new building for the de partments of science. "The building used by the school of music is far too small, with practice rooms separated -by flimsy partitions and no hall for recitals. The location of this building, within a few yards of the main line of the Southern fa- ciflc railroad, with all the noise of passing trains and the unloading of cars, is anything but advantageous. "Even worse, perhaps, is the pre dicament of the department oi geol ogy, which, through the absolute- in sufficiency of the space allotted it in Johnson hall, has been forced, to occupy an old abandoned dwelling. what was originally a barn, on a far corner of the campus. There, with out heat, water, gas or conventenoes of any kind, the department attempts to do some of its work.. - "As women we were, of course, especially nterested in the depart ment of household arts, which, under the able direction of Miss Lilian Tin gle, has given promise of doing such valuable work for the girls of the university. The department occupies email, cramped quarters in the base ment of Mary Spiiler'hall. The total floor space is not. over 3000 square feet and the facilities are meager, to say the least. "Hendricks hall, the one hall of residence on the campus for young women, is really a delightfully de signed and well-appointed building. But there ought to be three more buildings as frood as it is. The utii versity has done the best it could to relieve the . situation by renting and' furnishing such dwellings as were at sll suitable and available; but that is only a makeshift arrange ment. vV'e all know how important it is that our girls should have com fortable, pleasant, healthful places which to live while at college; that is one great need with which we' were all impressed. - - "The most conspicuous of all the requirements that of the departmen of physical education for women will be relieved- by the completion of the new women s building, which i now well under way and which, it i hoped, will be ready by the next col lege year. This is a building of which we may all be proud, as worthy our university and our state. Would that tures! One-half of the cost of ths r building is being paid by contribu tions begged . Trom the public an from students and members of. the university stair. "These are the most noticeable of the conditions as they appeared to us especially as they affect the wor Certainly we must ail do everythin in our power to pa-s the bill know as the higher, educational tax act by voting for it ourselves and by usin all of our Influence both as individu als and as organizations others to vote for it." -to persuaoe Oregon State Graduate Nurses' as sociation Is to participate in a Flor ence Nightingale centennial on Wednesday evening in the central library.
