MIGHTY EFFORT

three melodious colored ditties—a
kind of first cousin to coon song.
Then came the crushing blow of the
evening. How college men could be
so perfidious we cannot see; but cer
tain it is, that the highly-touted
“ventriloquist” proved to be a fakir,
and his imported manikins only a
couple of Juniors and a Sophomore.
How Professor Oreganass expected to
feed us that kind and get away with
it, we can’t understand; in fact, the
gentleman sitting next us in the coop
claimed that he saw through it all the
time.
The club rallied valiantly at this
point and tried to bolster up their
waning reputation with what the
program said was “A Plain Man’s
Song,” but it wasn’t good enough for
one plain man -the heretofore-men
tioned director, and to conceal his
mortification and show the audience
that the whole show wasn’t in the
Olouds-Dombey and Son class, he him
self rendered out a solo a solo with
a prophetic name, the “Vision Fugi
tive ’.’
The final effort was a sketch en
titled “Posted.” All we can say for
it is, that if the author, the leading
man, the ingenue, the heavy, the
soubrette, and the supporting com
pany, had all been posted weeks be
fore, the production might have met
with fairer success.
As we said at the beginning, it was
a good show.

a year? If these young men are
brave enough and worthy enough to
work their way through college, are
they so vain and timid as to forego a
University dance simply because they
are not attired in the prevailing
mode? Were it true that the Univer
sity of Oregon wa- inclined to ‘look
down’ on such men, the instance would
he absolutely different. Hut why not
correct the awkward sensitiveness by
admiring the pluck in that young man
who is willing to appear in sack
clothes, the same the University
folk and the entire world admires him
for contributing, eitlnu in whole or in
part, to the expen . of his college
course? Why not"
“All of us hope tnut many of our
college mat< s will in mature life rise
to stations which derna; d the wear ot
dress suits and otln •• proper things.
Then let them learn along with
other helpful thine-, how to wear a
“swallow tail” e at if they are not
able to wear one themselves, at least
allow them the wholesome privilege
of seeing one now anil then. It isn't

man to sit beside him Nor has he
ever begrudged any . f the few dollars
invested in flown ace hits and
white gloves. In fa t. he has often
reflected that the money spent on such
occasions brought him more benefit,
1 perhaps, than the dollars spent for
text books in at least several of the
courses still offered at the University.
And the suacy thing was a pretty
faithful student, too!
“But, in the fervor of my sincerity,
1 I have exceeded all limits of pro
priety, for which I advance an apol
ogetical amen. However, first let me
reiterate: Some of us prefer to think
of a college bred man as one who
knows how to tie a dress necktie, and
one who can meet and greet with the
very best of them in any old society.”
