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.

U OF 0. 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.
