READJUSTMENT Tomorrow the April vacation begins and most of us are leaving with unal loyed joy for the nine day recess. “What is a vacation,” a number of students wete asked. “A change,” "A rest,’ "A chance to do what you want to do,” aie characteiistic answers. All were partly true; none wholly. The conven tional vacation is, of course, a change of occupation, absolute idleness re .juiies a degree of concentration few] of us can attain, and is usually ac companied by a change of place. The j business man goes to the beach; we go home. 'I lie definition holds true of both. But it is not the mere change of woik or of scenes that matters, it is the change of mental attitude. The vacation motive is essentially an effort lo get away from things; not so much that we desire flesh scenes and oecu potions as that we are tired of the old. Ili nco it is not so important where we go or what wc take with us for amuse ment, as what we leave behind. Un it worry and care, which are dogs hold to lose, are chained behind, it can he no true holiday. 'I he spirit of vacation is freedom, hut tliis is not attained until we lib e ate ourselves from both the “set” of our mental habits and the crumped trial surroundings in which most of us live. Tile value of novel scenes and fresh activities lies in their power to divoit from the habitual and so to help us to leave our everyday selves Is hind. The chief object of a vacation is to pive tbc individual a cnance to develop his individuality. It is only when we cot away from the people and things we come in contact with every day that we can express very much of our own true selves. A true vacation oives our embryonic or atrophied powers of poutaneous movement a chance to worl.; let us readjust our elves to tile world. I he tine spirit in which to start on a vacation is that of release from b onlay ; pet awa\ from all care; for pet. the everyday things of the life that lias become humdrum. You will had that you can't pet away as com pletely as you think. Hut you will i liml that > u pel a truer pel spec mo of thinps, . -pecially of your own manner of life There is nothinp quite levealii . a . poire away and look ■ p at oih . If in a new lipht.

Tliat means, 1 -t of us, to po home and visit with ‘the folks.” most of us'little ; li'.’.e I much we are missed from a > and how selfish it is to make a * n "at home” an anomaly by 1 'i cio u nto one lonp round of s o ', engagements. It means physi cal r< «’d recreation; lonp tramps in the sunshine. It means a chance to think out the problems we meet and are to# busy to solve when they come up; to tret a true perspective on what we are dairy. and (hereby to ba able to eliminate the unessential and the wastes. It ■ means relaxation, pleasure, health. Above all it means coming back with renewed energy, courage and eager ness for the work that is ours. May every Oregon student have this kind of a vacation. SIGMA DELTA CHI The Emerald extends greetings to Omicron Chapter of Sigma Delta Chi. The membeis of the first Honorary Fraternity at Eugene are to be con gratulated. The opening of a Department of Journalism is briefly followed by the institution of Sigma Delta Chi. It is fitting that they should so come. The first is a recognition of the growing importance of the press and the need '’or trained men in journalism; the second is the result of the natural >< ndency of men of any profession to select a few of their members for special honors. The power of the newspaper as a moulder of public opinion is recog nized to be enormous. University correspondents and editors can bring praise or discredit to their college by the way in which they present its ac tivities to the public. Sigma Delta Chi furnishes a means for these men to get together, decide a line of policy and follow it up consistently. It is likely to exert a quiet influence on University affairs, and especially on th'> public view of the University, which can easily be underestimated. Moreover, it will furnish a goal for t,h ■ ambitious voting journalist. When work on University publications is purely voluntary, faithful work jijs Ip: i d to get With election to tin hon orary society dependent upon ability tind successful practice there is likely tjo be it marked improvement in the regularity and quality of work done upon the University publications. i _ ._ I AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION Next, week every student can do his m her share for the cans.' of Old Ore il,-. a.

FORSAKE BOOKS FOR VACATION PERIOD Devotees of Isaac Walton Prominent Among Faculty Members— Others Work. According to statements made by the various faculty members, their vacations will be spent as strenuous ly as if college was in session. Many of the professors will be kept busy with work connected with the Uni versity, whiLe others have planned to spend the week in working about their homes or roughing it over the hills, and one faculty member will superintend a job in horticulture on his farm a few miles from Eugene. Professor F. G. Young will spend much of his time making preparations for the Commonw|ealth day which) is held at the University the 16th and 17th of May. He will also superin tend the planting of loganberry plants at his orchard on the McKenzie river. Professor James Gilbert will visit an old friend, Oscar Gorrel, ’01, at Oakland, Oregon. He will spend his time “doing farming, fishing and so ciety,"' and will be absent from Eu gene the entire week. Professor Charles R. Reid will build his bungalow in Chula Vista during the week, and says that he will be kept busy most of the time swinging the hammer. “I don’t want to tell you Emerald reporters anything,” said Professor Hugo Koehler, “for fear you will get my name connected with another fish i story. However, I have planned on a trip out over the hills, and I think Kempthorne is going up the McKen zie again.” Professor McAlister will make a fishing trip up the McKenzie the lat ter part of the week, and Professor Bat ker will rest on his farm a few miles north of Eugene.

REDDIE READS MAETERLINK’S ALLEGORY, “THE BLUE BIRD” Professor Archibald Ferguson Red die gave a reading of Maurice Maeter link’s allegorical fairy story, “The Blue Bird,” before the Fortnightly ('luh last Tuesday evening, at its so ■ial meeting in the Commercial Club building. A number of the partons of litera ture and club members, including its president. Miss Julia Burgess, of the University, formed the receiving line that greeted the large audience of towns and University people. The mystical simplicity and charm of the two little children who had a dream that they were in search of the "Blue Bird,” which is to the French people the symbol of happiness, was brought out to the fullest extent of its possibilities. The purring of the Cat and the growl of the Dog were imitated by Professor Reddie in an inimatible manner. Indeed, his per sonification of all of the allegorical personages, Bread, Light, Water, Su gar and Fire were excellent. The University of Oregon orchestra, under the leadership of Miss Wini fred Forbes, played several selections >f Humperdink's compositions. Pretty Raw! Miss Whoshe "??? stole three kisses from me last night.” Miss Critishe “Oh, he doesn’t know any better.” Miss Whoshe "How did you guess? He said they were better than any he ever had before.” * * * He brought forth a handkerchief composed of one generous hole sur rounded by a border of white linen. "Aha.” cried he, putting his arm through the hole, "A laundry mark.” The Stanford women defeated women's basketball team of the versity of Nevada a few days by the score of 20 to 8. the Uni ago The Kuykendall Drug Store DRUGS, CANDIES, TOILET ARTICLES AND SUNDRIES f>88 Willamette St. ME B FANCY GROCERIES FRUITS, VEGETABLES Phane us your orders.
