TAKING DOWN THE BLINDS.
With the monthly report of stu
dent body business and finances, pub
lished in the Emerald, as planned at
the last meeting of the executive
committee, it is only logical to expect
a more efficient part to be taken d>
, the students, in University affairs.
#• Interest has been manifested in the
various outward signs of student ac
tivity, each as athletics, debate, etc.,
but it is difficult to awaken any real
enthusiasm over the work of the stu
dent officers, when it is only known
in a general way that they are at
tempting to do their duty.
The necessarv stimulant, however,
will be supplied in the way of public
ity, and will give to every man
and woman in the University an ex
act Idea of just what is being done.
Uul there should be an effect even
more far reaching than this.
Once a year, the Oregon student
bod^j that is, aBout five-hundred of
° them, 0get together and elect offi
° cers and eflmmlttlbs for the follow
ing year, then promptly forge^°all
about them and leaves them to work
out their own "salvation. It is ex
tremely doubtful if thirty per cent
of die students could name off hand
the officers in whose hands the ad
ministration of undergraduate busi
ness rests. The mistake seems to
o have been made of regarding the gov
ernment of tlie Associated students
as sufficient unto Itself, without any
need of assistance or even investiga
tion from the man or woman who did
the electing, and might be supposed
to take a little interest in the thing.
that are going on.
Now, however, all that lias been
accomplished during the month will
be made public property, and the ex
cuse which has been offered in times
past, of inability to find out, will
be done away with. A long step to
ward t truly Democratic government
government has been taken.
UIKXaltAMS.
The Sophomore Hop is past and
8d'in\ but the memory of it still lives
in tie complaints voiced concerning
the praeiic,' of filling out programs
beforehand ThU to bo expected.
Each and every formal dance pulled
off at the University may be counted
on to bring forth the same wail.
There is no doubt that the custom
cn the part of some is not fair to the
entire gathering at a dance, giving
as it does, an unfair advantage to a
few, over those who wait until they
get their programs before signing
up dances. But the remedy does not
lie in making stringent regulations
against this. The enforcement of
such a rule would be found well-nigh
impossible, and present conditions
would still prevail.
As a matter of fact this securing
of dances before assembling at the
Gymnasium, is an excellent thing, the
only trouble being that a compara
tive few are making use of the pos
sibilities offered. If the majority of
the students would fall in line, much
confusion would be eliminated at the
dance itself, time would be saved,
and there can be little question but
that programs would be filled out to
better advantage.
If this can be brought about it is
safe to predict that the wail of the
dancers will be hushed. The custom
liar been already started. Now the
thing is to let it grow.

DO YOU GET YOUR EMERALD?
In order to make possible greater
efficiency in the circulation depart
ment, the Emerald requests that any
subscriber, failing to receive his pa
per, or receiving it late, pul^ in a
genuine kick at the office in the
basement of McClure Hall instead of
filing his friends abou? it. This ap
plies not only to Eugene subscribers,
but to those on the mailing list as
well.
If you aren’t getting the kind of
Service you°think you are entitled to
—kick.
°The ^art taken by the students of
the°University in°helping to make the
Eugene0 Municffral Christmas a°suc
cess is highly commendable.0 What

sver charges may be made G against
higher education, it cann'bt be "said
n this case, that any of the higher
and better feelings toward mankind
have been educated out of the Ore
gon undergraduates.

SCANDINAVIAN COURSES
ATTRACT MANY STUDENTS
literature Class Now Numbe-s
Twenty, Though Few Study
Languages
O
The Scandinavian Language de
partment is progressing fairly well
iccordbig to Professor Thorstenberg.
Five students have taken up the
o
Swedish Language and twenty one
o re studying the Scandinavian Liter
ature. There is a great deal of dif
ference between the language and
the literature. Swedish is a trans
lation of the original language while
the literature is a study of the trans
lated works of difftyent Scandinavian
writers.
“The students are taking a great
leal of interest in these subjects.”
said Professor Thorstenburg, “and
are learning each lesson assigned to
them very well indeed. We were
■lightly handicapped at the start on
account of the lack of material in
the library on our subject but this
Is gradually being overcome and 1
lon't feel I should mention anything
about it.
In our Elementary Swedish class
ve have a fairly good control of the
language and by the end of the se
mester we will be in shape to take up
the more difficult translations. We
have translated about fifty pages of
original works already.
In the Scandinavian Literature
class we have studied the Rise and
Development of Modern Literature!
from 1814. We will fake up Ibsen’s |
Brand in the near future.”
The University "Missourian” has
been added to the exchange list >f
the Emerald. The "Missourian" is a
daily paper, published by the de- j
partment of Journalism at the Uni- '
verslty of Missouri, and has a wide
circulation among the people of the
college town.
