The law classes are now held in the oregon building. left by the AMP. exposi- ton. and the Journalism department shares the Education building left by the same fair with the college Of edu- cation. Both buildings have been con- demned by engineers as costly and unsafe. and by aesthetics as all that is abominabie to the eye.
 The new building will be the first Of the campus to be constructed with the money paid-!n tuition fees by the students.

wanted to see whether she would be
punished for her indebtedness TO her
husband.
So there was intense watching TO
see how these final scenes Of the play
would end. There was very little in
! tense watching at any other time dur
ing the performance, because there
was nothing in the conduct Of the wife
that could not all have been explained
away in W minutes. II was only
when the wife had taken the step
J her lover-maybe his wife ultimately
was there something in her character
to make her deserve punishment. 1t
seems from Mr., Kenyon's play that a
dramatist may be able to travel a GER
tain distance on a play founded on a
thesis so opposed To the ordinary ex-
perlence OF reasonable persons as the
situation which exists between his
married couple.
But had there been a irmer foun-
dalton for their unhappiness Their there
would have been quite as much inter-
est in the first two acts as there was
IN the third. And hat would not only
have been better for the audience. but
for Mr.. Kenyon and his authors as
well.
