Wednesday, April 17, 1912.
That the students remaining in
Eugene this vacation week are enjoy
ing the week, is attested by every one
met. Instead of the campus, town,
and houses being lonesome places, they
are havens of rest, peace and quiet,
where the overworked nerves of the
student can find solace. The weather
has been beautiful and the opportun
ity to ramble about the surrounding
country has been taken advantage of
by nearly everyone, and strange as it
may seem, the word everywhere is not,
“Oh, I wish the week would end,” but,
“how fast it is flying.”
The Heroism of Educated Men.
It might be well for some of the
citizens of this country, who rail
against higher education and the de
velopment of culture and refinement,
to notice the behavior of the men who
were on the great ocean liner, Titonlc,
which met such a sad fate two davs
ago. These men were for the most
part men from the higher social cir
cles, men of wealth and education, men
who supposedly are the very embody
ment of selfishness and greed, and
yet, when the great ship struck, these
men helped to fill the life boats with
women and children and themselves
stayed on the ship to die, and this in
cluded, so press dispatches relate, such
men as Colonel Astor, and millionaires
Strauss and Guggenheim. Compare
this with some of the wrecks of the
past, where a less educated lot of pas
sengers fought with one another for
places in the life boats, and one gets
a good example of the difference be
tween the educated and uneducated
classes.
Rain Dampens Spirits.
Several picnicing parties came in
Tuesday evening with a very definite
report as to the number of inches of
rain fall in the vinicity of Eugene.
The boys who are left at the Avava
Club are fixing up their lawn under
the efficient leadership of Abe Blach
roan, who is thinking of changing his
course to landscape gardening.
Mr. Powell, of Portland, is visiting
his family at the lleth Heah House for
a few days.
There was a large attendance of
varsity men at the Folly dance Tues
day.
Mason Roberts returned to Eugene
last night to pursue his studies. We
suppose.
The Kappa Sigma boys were enter
tained with a dinner at the Sigma
Nu House last night.
Ted Holmes leaves tomorrow for
Portland, to attend Reed Institute it
is said.
The Sigma Chi boys held a dinner
party last night.
The Beta Theta Pis have invited a
few of the leftovers to a dinner party
tonight.
Helen Beach, ’ll, is visiting the
Gammi Phis,
Floyd Pattee and Hugh Currin re
turned from Portland. They were
members of the band of Oregon en
gineers who inspected the electric
plants in Portland and vicinity.
Since neither the affirmative or neg
ative debating teams at the Univer
sity of Washington have been defeat
ed this year on the Judicial Recall
Question, Coach Pearce is planning to
pit his two victorious trios against
each other, to see which of the two
is the better. In the five intercolleg
iate debates in which the University
of Washington participated this year,
she received the votes of fourteen
judges. In only one contest, that with
Whitman, did the Seattle debaters fail
to get a unanimous decision.

MAY ROBSON
in
“A NIGHT OUT”
May Robson’s success as an ac
tress is not alone a financial one, but
her art of impersonation of real peo
ple in a natural way, and so convinc
ing that one leaves the theater appre
ciative and satisfied, that is if they
have recovered sufficiently from inces
sant laughter to think at all. The
new comedy, “A Night Out,” offers
Miss Robson a distinctive character,
unlike “Aunt Mary” in characteriza
tion, but embracing in part the gener
al atmosphere of the eccentric but
lovable old lady. Hereditary influ
ence is shown in the development of
the character of her grandson, hence
she is the Grandma of the story,
and as her influence is directed for
fun and frolic, her grandsons are de
votedly attached to her. Around an
escapade of a harmless, yet humorous
character, of the young men in the
play, is the narrative woven, and
“Granmum,” being a definite and dis
tinguished part of their adventure, one
can readily surmise how immensely
funny Miss Robson will be as “Gran
mum” when she appears at the Eu
gene Theater April 18, supported by
an excellent company.
