A HOPEFUL OUTLOOK The first petition has been filed against the University appropriation for new buildings and equipment, and it seems likely that r- sufficient num ber of signatures will be secured to call the special election in November. This call for the referendum does not touch the provision for maintenance, nor does it effect the millage bill, which is to go into effect in 1914. It seems quite reasonable to expect that the attempt to hold up the $175, 000.00 for improvements will fail. As Senator Miller stated a few days ago, the legislature cut down the Univer sity budget to the last degree, with the expectation that there would be no opposition to the small amount granted. The people of Oregon feel tfhat there is a limit to all things, and es pecially is it time to call a halt on the retardation of our educational in stitutions by petty tampering with the funds appropriated to them. The Oregon Higher Educational League, with Mr. Eugene Brookings at its head, is voicing the sentiments of the thinking people of the state in its remonstrance to the withhold ing of sadly needed support. By far the greater part of the members of the League are in no way connected with the University. Many have come, as has Mr. Brookings, from Eastern states, and expect to make Oregon their home. They realize the value of a State University, and desire that their chosen state shall not be in ferior to others in matters of edu cation. Branch organizations of this league are springing up all over the state, and membership is increasing at a rapid rate. Such a movement justifies us in the hope that the question of University support will soon be answered favorably once and for all. "AN l’NWRITTEN LAW “Unwritten laws are laws that re ceive their binding force from im memorial usage and universal recep tion. It is an unwritten law at O. A. C. that men shall not attend the girls’ track meet. Such a meet was held Monday morning. A number of masculine personages took it upon themselves to be present. We ad mit the realization that your presence is not desired at a gathering is a great incentive to be present. Not withstanding this fact, the men ought to respect the wishes of the women regarding this matter. No doubt these “previously informed” and "1 knew it all the time” individuals think they have performed a "cute” stunt and will spend the next month laungh ing over it. Had their masculine presence been all that was inflicted, the girls would not have seriously objected. Rut crude comments and supposedly "cute” sayings place the alumnus with a megaphone and his assistants in a very unfavorable tight."—Co-Ed. Edition of the O. A. C, Barometer. M. Sberle, a student 17 years old, who issued a manifesto to the inhab itants of Tries.e, Austria, to declare a republic, has been sent to prison for five years on a charge of high trea son. $10 UP US PHIZES IM GOMTEST WITH D.

HIS HONOR, THE SCRUB You ask for a toast to the heroes tonight, To those who were victors in many a fight, To the names that are sung by the public in praise, To the stars that rose from a battle field’s haze. Well, fill up your glasses and drink to my toast, Here’s a toast to the army, o toast to the host, A toast to the steel that is worn and is rusted, A toast to the Jewel, which fate has encrusted— It’s only a drink to the forgotten, the dub— Here’s a toast to the army, a toast Honor, the Scrub. You ask for a toast to the man in the line, On the champion eleven, on the cham pion nine, A toast to the man, a toast to the letter, That championship puts on a Varsity sweater. But first, here’s a toast to the maker of him, A toast to the man whose glories are dim— He’s bled, and he’s struggled, but has never been seen In a Varsity sweater, on a Varsity team—• It’s only a drink to the forgotten, the dub— Here’s a toast to His Honor, His Honor, the Scrub. You never have seen them—it’s a ter more— You never have seen them—it’s a ter rible bore, Watching them struggle in snow and in rain, Bleeding and fighting for Varsity’s name— You say that your heroes struggle as well? Yes, they get the honor, the Scrub gets the hell. He’s only a shadow—it’s all in the game, And the butterfly sees just the gold of the flame— It’s only a drink to the forgotten, the dub— Here’s a * toast to His Honor, His Honor, the Scrub. —Wisconsin News.
