The fact that only 100 men and 125 women did not vote, speaks well for the in terest Oregon students are taking in politics; this number could have been lessened fifty per cent, we believe, had the contest been boosted more. To go into a detailed analysis of the results would be but to “rehash” the two leading stories in this issue. Therefore we will close by saying that we are pleased to know that 310 stud ents favor compulsory subscription to tho Emerald, and we may use this vote when recommending the adoption of such a measure to the board of reg ents, and are supprised to learn that| the faculty favor student government and did not vote solid for the hope of the profession. Need of Statistical History. It seems a shame that the Univer sity does not have a statistical his tory of her enterprises and activities. Everytime there is need to know how many championships we have won in football, who represented in debate ten years ago, who edited the Oregon Weekly, what professors were on the athletic council in years past, etc., one must scour the University from top to bottom, consult the memories of an cient students and faculty members, hunt through dusty volumes of news papers and tiles of the Oregon Month ly and then maybe not find what is wanted. Only last week we wished to ascertain how many times Oregon had stood first and second in the state oratorical contest and after over half an hour of scurrying about, we were able to get track of but the six previ ous years. There is no reason why such a his tory cannot or should not be kept. Some of our seniors majoring in his tory would be doing an original piece of historical research work worth while for their Alma Mater, should they take up the subject of “The His tory of Oregon’s Men and Enter prises,” gather all the facts from the beginning until the present time, ar range them in systematic form and give them to the Registrar to keep and add to as history is made. Milking the Emerald an Advertising Medium. Has it over occurred to house man agers of fraternities, sororities, and other living organizations of the Uni versitiy that it is within their power to make advertising in the Emerald a financial expediency rather than an act of charity on the part of Eugene merchants? Do these managers take into consideration whether or not the business firms to which they give their patronnge are supporters of the Em erald and kindred publications? A rehearsal of the time-worn plea, “patronize our advertisers,” is apro pos at this time by reason of the in creased size of this issue. The new management has succeeded in secur ing so many new advertisers, that this enlargement has been necessary. Credit for this prosperous condition is due Managers Barbour and Kelly. who are hard at work in the attempt to place the paper on a paying basis, and expect to make up the present deficit before many more issues. However, it is the duty of our read ers to make the maiden venture of these new patrons upon the sea of advertising so profitable, that they will extend the voyage indefinitely. *********** * ALUMNI NOTES * ******** ** Mrs. Katherine Patterson Bean, ’97, is residing in Eugene.

DOMESTIC REPOSE CINCHED BY ABILITY TO MAKE FUDGE The Eutnxian Literary Society was entertained last night by a novel pro gram on “The College Girl.” Talks were given by Nellie Hemen way, Ruth Merrick, and Mildred Whit tiesy, followed by a debate, “Resolved, That college education better fits a girl for domestic life than any other kind of education.” The affirmative was successfully upheld by Anne Mc Micken and Norma Graves, who proved conclusively that chafing dish feeds, freshmen roommates, strolls and canoeing, fit a woman for all that is necessary in perfect domestic tran quility. Bess Cowden and Esther Magley valiently defended the negative on the grounds that a girl becomes a wor shipper of athletes, and also acquires the habit of borrowing, which later in life will deprive her of desirable neigh bors. RED ROSE DEFEATS CAP AND GOWN AT SMITH SMITH COLLEGE, March 6.—For three days the members of the senior class at Smith College have been vot ing on the question of wearing caps and gown or white dresses with a red rose at graduation. The vote, which was announced yesterday aft ernoon, was overwhelmingly in favor of the white dresses. The campaign was conducted in a vigorous manner. The Perfect College Yell. “Authorities hold that the perfect yell is based on the bray of the Mis souri mule, alternating with the notes of the game rooster, modified by the trumpet of the auto horn. War whoops and the sound of a couple of keps of nails falling down the cellar steps furnish an impressive crescendo, while the most effective farewell is a •ross bewteen the song of a dying calf and lost soul. These finer shadings express the deeper emotions turned loose on a civilized country.”—Balti more Sun. John C. Higgins, B. A. ’97, is a practicing attorney in Seattle, Wash. Frank M. Taylor, B.
