DIVIDING WITH OTHERS Now and then'one may hear a stu dent deploring the fact that an in structor or professor is absent from classes for a day at the end of the week, and that extra hard assign ments of outside work are required to take the place of the lectures. The fact in this case is that the stu dent has forgotten that the Univer sity campus is state-wide and that the duties in the University class rooms are only a part of the instruc tor’s activities. For instance, in Port land there are week-end classes in English, mathematics, and several branches of engineering. Series of lectures are being conducted constant ly in one town or another, and lecture tours are being made, sometimes in the most remote parts of the State. The University’s one motto is serv ice to the State, and students as well as instructors should be willing and anxioUH to sacrifice to this ideal. All the work of the Extension Division, by means of which four or five hun dred people are being reached at the present time, is done through the un paid efforts of the instructors. The work of preparing and delivering lec tures, of correcting correspondence— study papers and of instructing class es in distant towns is done during the time which these men would other wise have for recreation, rest or per sonal research and study. It is up to the students here at the University to help the good cause along by working extra hard and so making It easier for the instructor to leave his classes when he is needed elsewhere. Those of us who are able to attend the University should bear in mind those slightly less fortunate but who are striving just as hard to obtain an education. Uet us be happy in the fact that wo ean divide with them. OREGON GIRR IS HRST Sixty members gather at Shack and Enjoy Social Evening Together.

LAW SCHOOL ACTIVITIES ACTIVE i - “Not Facetious,” Says Burns Powell, “But Students Busy Absorbing Blackstone. March 20.—To the Editor: In view Maich 20.-—-To the Editor: In view of the fact that the requests of fel low law students for Law School news in the Emerald have turned to threats, I feel suddenly inspired to take up my pen and write down what I re member of all that has happened in j our corner of the Varsity during the ! past three or four months. If I remember correctly, that Freshman class got together one night after many attempts, and elect ed a set of officers no one kicked on particularly, so their pictures were sent to Don Rice and will, in time, appear in the great book that indi vidual has promised to produce. It doesn’t matter especially who was elected, being as how I’m not one of them, but a man named Dillon says he’s President, and Police Judge Rice, of St. Johns, clafms to be duly elected Class Representative, and a big, tall fellow by the name of Potter, says he got more votes for Sergeant-at-arms than did another fellow who is a real ly-and-truly policeman, but whose name I can’t recall. You see, I ran for Vice-President, at the earnest solicitation of my fel low-classmen, and would have been elected without any trouble, had it not been for another fellow named Lincoln, who also ran, that is, we both ran, he stopped, I haven’t. Oh, yes, I almost forgot, we have a Sec retary, and a suffragette at that, the only one who attended the meeting, and, I might add, no “sufferor” had the nerve to oppose her candidacy. Her name is Miss Baless, and she says she’s studying law in order that she may be a better judge of MAN (I haven’t figured out get whether she means that in the collective sense or in the individual). By-the-way, we have eleven other women in our institution, and every one of them intends to practice the profession of law. Its my own pri vate opinion, however, that the prac tice will consist ultimately in laying down the law daily to one man, in a private office, scented with the frag rence of fried beef steak and burning gas. My memory of the last Student Body meeting is more vivid. Firstly, it was held about a month ago in the Hirsch-Selling building, and was financed largely from the private pocketbook of Arron Frank, the late ly resigned chairman of the commit tee on arrangements and finance; sec ondly, we had plenty to eat and drink, and good cigars were passed around; thirdly, Judge Morrow spoke on “The Advisability of a Lawyer Keeping His Mouth Shut,” and several others entertained the multitude with songs, stories and fights; and fourthly, about one hundred and fifty men were pres ent, all of whom left, declaring they had spent a pleasant evening. Dur ing the course of the evening, T. Walter Gillard, he’s our energetic Registrar, you know’, became pos sessed of another of his periodical brain storms. This time it turned to baseball, and T. Walter refused to be calmed, until the mob had elected a baseball committee with big Dow Walker as its advisory head, and had voted to put out a “promising” base ball team this spring. Since this storm, T. Walker has had another one and ns a result, Dean Ganten bein’s exchequer is minus about $50 for team uniforms, and the ball team has one “beautiful slaughter” entered on the debit side of its ledger. (It doesn’t matter what team inflicted the defeat the fact is—I don’t remem ber.) We have a debate team. I know something about debate. We have a debate team and its going to debate with Willamette University Law School in the near future at Salem. This team was chosen by some sort of a competitive contest and the suceess ful participants were Ray Singletary, a Senior, Tom Ryan, a Junior, and John Peters, a junior. We have a flourishing Public Speaking Society also. You see, T. Walter's Blaekstone Debating So ciety died a natural and quiet death one evening and "lo, from the ashes” arose C. H. Lehman, real estate dealer and promoter, with an idea. "Why not learn to speak,” says he, first to himself and then to the rest «of us. •‘All lawyers must make speeches,” and so we assembled, some twenty strong, an<l declared ourselves a Pub lic Speaking Society (entrance fee, 35 cents). Strange to say, this so ciety soon became popular, possibly due to the fact that speeches were limited to five minutes and nearly every one pot a chance to talk dur ing the evening, and soon the society founo it necessary to limit the mem bership an.! beg people to stay away. Speaking A promoters, reminds me of an incident in the Freshman class the other night. We were talk ing about corporations and in answer to the question, “What Is a Promo ter,” Judgo Chamberlain replied, “A promoter is a person who sells what he does not want to someone who does not want it either.” (Peels of loud guffaws.) However, we will ex onerate Mr. Lehman from such a stigma, for with us he has proven himself a man of public spirit and a willing instrument for good among the students. Phi Delta Phi gave a dance last month at the Irvington Club for itself and a few of its friends, and the Blackstone Club has announced an in formal dance for the students and their friends, to be held at the Mult nomah Hotel, April 4. I must close now, as my boss says the inkwell needs filling—most of us work in law offices during the day time, you understand, perhaps. I’ll find time to write again before your successor is duly elected and sworn in. This letter is not so much of an attempt to be facetious as you might imagine. To me it represents pretty nearly the attitude of most of the law students towards Student Body activities. Not that they are insin cere, for no body of students ever took their work more seriously to heart, but because they are so ab sorbed in learning the principles of law, and in keeping the landlord and laundryman at arms distance, they find little time and energy to be wasted on those things which belong more properly to undergraduate days. BURNS POWELL. Y. M. ANNUAL BANQUET WILL BEJELD FRIDAY Professor DeCou Will Act as Toast master—Old and New Officers to Give Addresses. The annual banquet of the Univer sity Y. M. C. A. will be held next Friday evening, at 6 o’clock, in the Eugene Y. M. C. A. Professor E. E. DeCou will act as toastmaster. The first speech of the evening will be made by Burleigh Cash, the retiring president. He will have charge of the inauguration of the new officers who were elected last Thursday.

Names for the banquet will be taken at the Y. M. C. A. book ex change any time before Thursday. Speaking of his plans, President Black said, “I haven’t my policies fully outlined as yet.

He and President Campbell took lunch at the Mary Spiller Hall. A new girls’ dor mitory is being constructed at the State Normal School, and Mr. Acker man is interested in selecting suitable furnishings for it. He was for several years state sup erintendent of schools, before he took his present position as president of the state normal school. Mr. Ackerman spoke here at As sembly last year, on “Educational Un rest.” While here he visited the Woman’s Gymnasium, and watched a class in its regular work The Y. W. C.
