Shall we allow it to be said to our everlasting discredit that the Uni versity of Oregon did not fittingly ob serve the seventeenth oi March? Of course, there will he the usual spasmodic attempt at green neckties and ribbons, hut St. Patrick is entitled to a more formal and ceremonious recog nition, and it seems appropriate that our wealth of Irish cleverness and en ergy should originate and carry through some plan for a more fitting observance of the day. Robert Emmett’s birlhdtiy was al lowed to pas almost unnoticed, yet this anniver.in offer unrivalled opportu nilics for fervid oratory on harmless topics of ambiguity and glittering gen erality, such as h’reedom, Home Rule and the “OnId Sod.” St. Patricks Day is an even more im port : 11 (. i -i. in, which litevallv cries ior ip- a p, i ite . h- rvanee. I.el us by all means haw a campus parade and an oration delivered in the good, rich rich brogue I here are surely enough mu • m the University cal end r to earn through anything from a wake to a measure for home rule. a Successful Season Willamette University now comes out as basketball champions, basing their claim upon CMiii|»ar.'tivo scores.

Contracts for both both football and l> -ketball Mines were sent to Willam ette, but were on flimsy grounds de clined by their peevish Dr. Sweetlnnd.

He is . man well worth hearing CLUBS AND FRATS CHOOSE THEIR REPRESENTATIVES Most of the frats have elected their captains and managers and will begin active practice as soon as places can be found to locate diamonds. The Var sity diamond can be used when the Var sity squad is not on it, but it is entire ly inadequate, as there will likely be twelve teams besides the Varsity squad. An effort will be made to find some . ■ nt lots to turn into diamonds, and there may be some practice games pulled if before the regular schedule begins. The following men have been elected as captains and managers by the differ ent fraternities: Delta Sigma, Gabriel captain, G. Thomas manager; Kappa Sigma, Mores manager; Acacia, Brow nell captain, Gillis manager; Avava, Do bie captain, Dobie manager; Sigma Nu, Chandler captain, Stewart manager; Beaver -; A. T. O.. White manager; Beta Theta Pi, Ogden man ager; Dorm., Luckey captain, Houston manager; Sigma Chi, Homer manager; Tawnh, Odell manager. SOTYA DEVA, EX-’09, IS STUDENT AND WALKER Satya Deva, ex-’09, the Hindu student who made many friends at Oregon sev eral years ago, has just reached New York after walking across the conti nent, a trip which required nine months of steady travel. He left Seattle last June after completing nis college course at the University of Washington. Deva is now awaiting a favorable op portunity to go to his home and assist his people in overthrowing the English yoke, a cause to which he is passionately | devoted. He evidently believes that the i llralimins can successfully compete with | the Christians as bidders for divine fa vor. for he writes that he is depending on the God who has helped him through life to show him a way to liberate his ! people. \\ hile at Washington, Deva wrote an : article on American girls, which he ha.a-d on the characters of several well known Oregon co-eds. He also writes for several Hindu journals in Chicago and Calcutta, and Ids recent trip was for the purpose of observing the Amer ican people and their conditions at first hand, in order that he might give a " ritten account of them to his own P ople. NU CHA.PTFR O' ' MU PHI EPSILON NOW INSTALLED J lie Nil chapter of the musical so rority, Mu Phi Epsilon, was installed! last Sat Inlay, making the fifth national sorrority in the University of Oregon. ; After the installation ceremonies, which were conducted lw Miss Josephine Lang- • ton, of Detroit, Michigan, a delect hie banquet was served at the Hotel Os hum for the sorority and its patroness- ’ es.
