Human Optimism.
Humans are certainly a hopeful lot
and can’t be defeated because they
are so hopeful. Any number of times
they are knocked down, they find
a way to get up, and each time they
get up, they are stronger than ever.
The truth of this statement is real
ized on the University campus today.
It would seem that the spirit here
would be at a pretty low ebb, after
the reverses the University has suf
fered and the knocking her enemies
have done, but quite the opposite is
true. The students are optimistic, are
full of plans for overcoming the re
verses, and predict a University in
Eugene for the future, amply supplied
with funds and students.
The decision of the Supreme Court,
after the first shock had worn off,
served but to increase the loyalty of
the students and sharpen their de
termination to see justice shown their
Alma Mater, and they stand today, a
loyal band of students, ready to fight
to the finish the enemies of higher
education and the University of Ore
gon, and they expect to win, too.
Informality.
The last of Manager Geary’s in
formal dances, held last evening in |
the Gymnasium, proved to be one of
the most enjoyed. A spirit of friendly
sociability pervaded the hall; every
one entered into the fun, and the de
mand for "more” extended oftentimes
to the fifth and sixth encore. We at
tribute much of this success to the
fact that the participants were not
dressed in evening attire.
The women discarded party dresses «
and appeared in, well, just in dresses, '
the men wore sack coats, and as a re
sult the feeling of restraint which al
ways accompanies the feeling of be
ing dressed up was absent, and left
everyone free to enjoy the evening. *
The Emerald, since the dance last *
night, is more certain than ever that
its plea for informal dances being
kept strictly informal, is wise and
consistent with that which makes for 1
the betterment of the whole student
body. >

The man who has enough of the
filthy lucre, can generally throw some
dirt in the other fellow’s eyca.

When it come* to artistic tempera
ment, the gentleman who can pro
duce a “red Emerald,” is certainly *’
some there as a color mixer.

According to the latest Emerald e
reporta, people who were socially in
the swim during vacation, had some
thing stronger than water to carry
them along.

The rich man works on the prin
ciple that if it is virtuous to take his
own part, it is a great deal more vir
tuous to take more.

The Editor.
Most anyone can be an editor. All
the editor has to do is sit at a desk
six days out of the week, four weeks
of the month, and twelve months of
the year and “adit" such stuff as
this:
“Mrs. Jones of Cactus Creek, let a
can opener slip last week and cut her
self in the pantry."
“John Doe climbed on the roof of
his house last week looking for a leak
and fell, striking himself on the back
porch.”
“While Harold Green was escorting
Miss Violet Green from the church
social last Saturday night, a savage
dog attacked him and bit Mr. Green
several times on the public square.”
“Isaiah Trimmer, of Running Creek,
was playing with a cat Friday, when
it scratched him on the veranda."
“Mr. Fong, while harnessing a
broncho last Saturday, was kicked
just south of his corncrib.”—Ex
