COLLEGE GROUNDS IMPROVED IN RECENT YEARS; NEW INFIRMARY PLANNED Many changes which pass almost unnoticed by students will surprise alumni and fathers this fall on their return to the Oregon State college campus.

John Alex ander—155-pound freshman left half, passer supreme, ball-carrier, punter of more than average ability, and last, signal-waller—has scored in every game this year, yet his main claim to fame is that he has yet to be given a monicker by the sports scribes. Alexander, a cut back artist, ran 22 yards for Oregon State's touchdown in a 9 to 0 win over Gonzaga fresh men, and plunged six yards to score in the 9 to 0 win over the Oregon frosh. He contributed 6 points in a win over Southern Oregon Normal. The rooks are undefeated thus far. With two sophomores starring at left half now on the varsity Alexander will have plenty of competition for a regular position next year, but his triple-threat abilities combined with smart field generalship may be just the one-man combination that Lon Stiner, Orange coach, is looking for. Bob Fowler, a product of Medford, sees occasional action at end for the rooks where he is on the receiving end of Alexander's tosses. Phi Gamma Delta have come our way thus far this year, prospects for cham pionships in ping pong, swim relays, and dual swimming are bright this year.

Activities outside of the fraternity at Kappa Omicron are gaining a strong hold on members and pledges this year with the strong backing by the chapter.

The array of motor vehicles which last year was five, now totals seven. Nothing less than eight years of age is eligible to this august organi zation. Seniority rights go to squad car No. 2, owned and operated by Scram Graham, for it is the lone survivor of the original fleet. It is a Model T touring with brand new blue uphol stery. It is dearest to the hearts of all true Fijis for its valiant jaunts to the Fiji hunting grounds last spring.

New plantings have been set in the west quadrangle which is just north of the Memorial Union, and the formerly brown and ugly rear of the ag and dairy buildings has been planted to lawn and landscaped. Along the Mon roe street side of the lower campus are many new settings of trees, and a new drainage system has eliminated most of the huge ponds which formed there during wet weather. With construction scheduled to start within a few days, grads and dads should see for themselves the progress of the new infirmary which will be located on 25th street across the street and north from the Commerce building. This building will be the first major construction on the cam pus since the completion of the Mem orial Union in 1928. Thirty-one hundred students teem the campus this fall, presenting a great contrast to that of three years ago.'
