DORMITORY AT U.Q.
BETS REGEHTS' OK
Building To House 228 Men
Students Approved At
Meeting Saturday
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON,
Eugene, January 21. X Special)
A new, strictly modern, fire
proof dormitory, to house 228
men, will be constructed by the
University of Oregon, It was ani
nounced today, .following th,
meeting of thet board of regents
here.
Action on the proposed struct
ure costing $300. 00. which will
be financed by a bond issue, un
der the enabling act passed, by
the last session of the legislature.
wa3 taken following the present
ation of survey recently made by
the university officials showing
the need for the building,
Under the enabling act both
the University and the Agricul
tural college may finance build
ings such as dormitories by bond
Issues, these to be retired over a
period of 20 years by earnings"
from the structures. Np state
money will be used, either for
building or for maintenance.
The new dormitory, which will
be erected near the present
Friendly Hall, will be three. sto
ries in height, with service base
ment. It will be constructed of
brick, and the style of architect
ure will harmonize with other
buildings on the campus. It will
be absolutely fireproof.
In the dormitory the students
will be housed in units of 28 men
each. These will be separate, and
while they will all connect with
a common room and dining quar
ters, they will not connect with
each other. A saving in hall
space is made possible by this
arrangement and in addition
greater privacy is gained.
Each group will be self-governing
and will constitute a social
unit. Membership in the groups
will be so arranged that it will
be agreeable to all. Social ac
tivities, such as dances and par
ties, will be carried on by units,
while all will unite in occasional
social events.
The completion of the hall will
make available accommodations
for a total of 323 men. Friendly
Hall now hold 95. When the
new structure is occupied a Uni
versity regulation will then re
quire that all underclass men live
In the dormitories, fraternities.
Eugene homes of parents, or must
obtain permission from the dean
of men to live in private quarters.
This is in line wth a nation-wide
movement to give undergraduates
more personal attention, and it
has been approved by the natlon-
alTter-fraternity council. It-is
hoped eventually to provide suf
ficient quarters for men so that
all freshmen can live in halls,
and at the beginning of the sec
ond year Join fraternities or if
they choose remain in the dor
mitory. ROBERT BURNS THE

Pilgrim feet find their way each

where Burns was born, all 'be
cause of the magic of his creative
genius?
I-ove of Lower Animals
His creativeness is seen, not
only in hi3 disregard of conven
tion his perfect naturalness, spon
taneity, freshness, and the way in
which he reaches back into the
past and shapes his materials, but
also, I think, in QUICK AND
TENDER RESPONSIVENESS TO
WARD THE LOWER ANIMALS.
We have ceased to marvel that a
poet should find poetic material
in a sheep's adventures, a mouse's
misfortunes, a horse's "loyalty,
and the charming conversation ol
chum doss. - But Is it not that be
cause men like Walt Whitman and
John Burroughs, Kipling and Jack
London. Jean-Henri Fab re and
Seton-Thompson, have made us
more familiar with the habits of
our dumb friends? The way la
which Burns .meshes us sympa
thetically with these dumb crea
tures, and the manner in which
he illuminates their subeonseiout
world with sportive human ten
derness is a new note in poetry
magical In its cttezta upon our
tensibilities and emotions, creat
ing novel charm and edification,
ills humanizatloti of animal ex
periences is the height of art.

Insight That Transforms
Then, too, our poet had THE
INSIGHT THAT TRANSFORMS
Consider how he wove a cloth of
gold and threw it like a cloak
around Scotia's erstwhile gran
deujr. In one of hl3 letters he
ays to Peggy Kgnnedy: "Poets,
Madam, of all mankind, feel most
forcibly the powers of beauty . . .
their feellhirs must be finer, and
their taste more delicate, than
most of the world" This eensi
tiveness and Dwer of penetration
he exhibits as he bends his imag
inative genius to sing the praises
of his country in terms of the
straightest. sturdiest, moral pa
triotism. Ills instinct and In
sight were sound, and his passion
for beauty was pure.
His insight into nature Is so
well known as scarcely to need
mention. He saw beauty in na
ture where others passed her by
without a glance. The scudding
clouds, the frosty light, the sym
metry of a silhouetted tree, the
leaves a-twitter like the tongues
of a thousand maidens, the piay
of sunlight,. on flowing waters, the
mist trailing over Scottish hills,
the snow on the river's bosom,
white a moment then gone for
everover all these he threw a
veil of loveliness. The wind
soughing through the winter
woods filled him with wild and
mingled delight, and the tender
eye of a mountain daisy was like
the tlrought or a friend beloved,
and a wee fallen bird " set him
dreaming of the meaning of the
world and all the glory that is to
he. He does not philosophize
much about nature; he sees na
ture not with the eye of the phi-

losopher so znaeh .as with the
playful happy glance of a little
child. He is quickly moved by
nature's natural charm; and as
quickly he moves from nature to
man ; the world without mirrors
for him the universe within:
It was his power to transform
the humble homely scenes of his
country and his kind that consti
tutes a good deal of his charm
and power as a poet. When Burns
published Jhe first edition of hiii
poemi at Kilmarnock, we read
that "old -and young, high and
low, grave and gay, learned and
ignorant, were all delighted, agi
tated, transported. Even plow
boys and maidservants would hare
gladly bestowed the wages they
earned most hardly; and which
they needed to purchase necessary
clothing, if they might procure
Ihe works of. Burns."
'. Do we ask the secret . of all
this? We shall find It, f feel sure
in THE COTER3 SATURDAY
NIGHT. In walks the cotter, a
humble man returning after his
toil to his bumble borne; he Is
(egrimed from top to toe. An al
together unimpressive sight! His
children run to meet him, the
mother and wife stands to greet
him. ,. Her. face bears the marks
of toil and struggle, even as does
th children's attire. The even
ing meal is brought on, and it
seems bare and poor. A rushlight
lacquers and burnishes the bare
place to brightness; but It is not
the only brightness there is the
childish glee, the playful mirth of
the family, their profound con
tent; and to this scene add the
gathering of friends who later
troop in for fellowship. What a
picture it is of the deep piety of
the human heart, the loveliness of
family life, the glory of friend
ship, and the grandeur of Scottish
life! Seen scores of times by
Burns the scene has affected him
30 deeply as to inspire him with
the wonder of our Human world.
Princes and lords are but the
breath of kings,
An honest man's the noblest
work of Clod.
Think you not tKit every poor
laboring man stood Inches higher
when he read the transporting
and transfiguring words that
Burns sang?
A prince can mak a belted knight,
A margins, duke, and a' that;
But an honest man's aboon his
might,
Gnid faith, he mauna fa' that!
For a' that, and a' that.
Their dignities, and a' that.
The pith o' sense and pride o'
worth
, Are higher rank than a that.
Those brave and splendid word
have sung their way into our
forums and platforms, our state
houses and law courts, and shed
their Influence into our demo
cratic thinking. We say with em
phattc finality.

might call him. Holding the han

Is no more to most men than the
primrose was to Peter Bell at the
river's brim just a posie, that's
all. But to Burns with bis poet's
eye to beauty, and his poet's sen

Sincerity That Awakens Wonder
Still further. Burns )id THE
SINCERITY THAT" AWAKENS
WONDER. Now sincerity Is dif
ficult to attain, either In one's
self or in another. Even in our
own blatant days, it is sometimes
accounted bad taste to say what
you really think. There are bind
ing and restraining and necessary
influences . of our admirable
conventions, and the reticenc
es they Impose upon us by
our queer civilization, that
must be observed. At all costs
the CONVENANCES must be ob
served! So when a man stands
in our midst who is frankness
itself, we generally misconceive
him, miss his measure. "Burns,"
says a great writer, "was very
like another man In what he had
to tell, and differed from other
men only because he told it." One
cannot read Burns' poetry with
out feeling the depth of his sin
cerity. He sings what he feels
sings all that he feels." It Is a
great relief (at least so it appears
to me) to turn from the "Remnls
cences" and "Autobiographies"
that quite clearly have been writ
ten for ulterior motives and pur
poses, and the novels that smell of
the yellow peril, and the poetry
that masks Itself, to the pellucid
poetry of Robert Burns. I shall
not agree with all the Scottish
bard mav slnr. but I may thank
him for singing so sincerely. Hisinau inquirer

noticed how he stored nuts in the holes of trees and then ate the
worms which they attract thus living on the "income" Instead
of the "principal"! It Is hard to believe that a woodpecker Is wiser
