Don’t Crowd
Mint the arch'Lcct who planned the
Library Hall did a poor job, is painfully
evident at every change of periods. The
congestion .about the coat room is al
ways inconvenient, and on ra’ny days
it is .abominable. Hurrying streams of
students jostle and crowd in the narrow
space in a tumultuous attempt to get
m and secure books and wraps. Then
eumes the frantic struggle to get out.
It is a hopeless jumble. An umbrella
pokes your ribs, and a long, vicious hat
pin threatens your off eye. Along comes
a wide hat, and if it finally does get
through the door, delays traffic like an
open draw.* At 12:lX) o’clock the trou
ble is accentuated. By then most of
us have reached the state of hunger
when manners are largely forgotten, and
we rush and crowd without regard for
etiquette or tender feet.
It may not always be thus. Perhaps
the Legislature will grant us spacious,
convenient buildings, that will make el
bowing and crowding a tiling of the
past. Meanwhile, the situation requires
good nature, tact, and a little more
consideration than we have been prac
t icing.
These daily “mixes,” by the way,
would be the best possible testimonial
of the inadequacy of our present equip
ment, and form a strong argument in
favor of new buildings. Why not throw
some of the visiting legislators into the
crush as a forceful representation of our
growing needs?
Surprising even their most enthusi
astic admirers, the basketball team
opened the season last night with an
overwhelming victory, and though they
were not put to it very hard, showed
championship form. The team is sure
to he a strong factor in the conference
championship, yet under the present stu
dent hod> ruling, these men, several of
whom could pla\ in any company, will
not he awarded the official “O.”
Is this not an injustice?
Three years ago an unsuccessful at
tempt was made to put basketball on the
list of "O” sports. I he motion was de
feated, principally because our facilities
were then inadequate to properly main
tain standard teams. Now, however,
with our magnificent gymnasium and
with the increased interest in this branch
of athletics, it is hard to discover a
convincing argument against basketball
"O’sOur team this year is of cham
pionship calibre, and certain to bring
victory to the Varsity. The least ac
knowledgment we can make the players
is the official emblem.
Retween E C Mercer's talks and
Mary Mannering's “A Man’s World,"
immorality should be at a pretty low
ebb here this week end
Reynolds Back In College

quite recovered from his slight attack
of fever.
PRESIDENT CAMPBELL
CHOSEN CLASS MARSHAL
Is Signally Honored by Vote of
’86 Class of Harvard
University
President Campbell is in receipt of a
telegram from the Class Day Committee
nf Harvard University, asking him to
ct as marshal at the Commencement,
exercises in Cambridge this year. The
returning members of the 25th alumni
class have full charge of the exercises
of the Harvard ( mmencement, and this
year the honor has fallen to the class
of '86, of which President Campbell is
member. The selection of marshal
is m de 1 >y the vote of the entire class,
• a result of the recent election
held by the correspondence method,
President Campbell received the coveted
honor of leading his class at the Com
mencement exercises.
Class Day at Harvard is the most
important function of the University
year, and is famous in collegiate circles
as the most notable example of the dis
play of college loyalty in any college
or university. Offices in the celebration
are the highest honor which can se
conferred upon a Harvard man by his
classmates, and the election of Presi
dent Campbell to the office of first mar
shal comes as the highest tribute which
can be paid by his class. It is a recog
nition of his high executive and schol
arly abilities, and of his leadership
mong the great army of educators
which have come from the oldest Amer
ican university.
GIVES STAGER IN LARGE
DOSES TO PORTLAND
Dr. Gilbert left Eugene this morning
for Portland, where he will deliver the
third of a series of twelve lectures on
subjects of general economic interest.
The course was started January 7th
by a lecture on “Immigration,” which
was followed by last week’s lecture on
the "Tariff.” Dr. Gilbert has planned
to give one lecture each Saturday even
ing until the course is exhausted.
The work is under the auspices of the
Portland Y. M. C. A., and is being
given out of pure good will and with a
desire to be of service to the people of
the state at large.
The lecturer is highly encouraged oy
the interest which has been evinced in
Portland. The attendance, he says, is
all that could be desired, and his au
diences are attentive and appreciative.

VARSITY WOMEN PUTOUT
SPLENDID CO-ED ISSDE
Women Have Several Distinctive
Features in New Number
Oregon Monthly
The co-cd issue of the Oregon Month
ly i- off the press today, and is being
distributed to subscribers. The number
is entirely from the pens of the women
of the University, and as the editorial
states, “no mere man” was allowed a
hand in it.
'1 lie distinctive features are exposi
tions of the various co-ed student ac
tivities, as the Women’s Council, Scroll
and Script. Eutaxian Society, Y. W. U.
A., and last but not least, the Fan-Hel
lenic. The Who’s Who and Since When
is also interestingly sensational, expos
ing the careers of Laura Kennon, Alice
Stoddard, Lilah Prosser, Mildred Bag
lev, Helen Beach, Juliet Cross, Pansy
Shaver and Mary DeBar.
The literary department contains eight
able stories, and “Current Poetry” is
ably edited.
Altogether it is an exceptionally good
number, and shows what the Oregon
co-ed is capable of in a literary way.
The issuq was in charge of the feminine
members of the staff. Birdie Wise, Ca
rin Degermark, Lucile Abrams, Willetta
Wright and Alma Payton.
The papers and discussions at the third
annual Commonwealth Conference at
the University will be printed in Bulletin
form, and upon request sent to any cit
izen desiring them.
