This courso has been selected by the coun cil to ascertain the real feeling of the Oregon students In regard to the use of tobacco in the immediate vi cinity of the University grounds. The use of the narcotic on the cam pus itself, has of course been taboo before the present senior clues oven matriculated, and it may be suld that only in rare Instances has this unwritten law been violated. An almost equally binding custom, how ever, bus grown up, whereby the walks near the Library on Thirteenth street, and near Vtllard Hall on Eleventh street, have come to be regular smoking stations for those addicted to the use of the weed. It may be found that the regard for the one custom will bo as hard to break up as the regard for the other. it is not the intention of the Em erald to preach a sermon on the evils of tobacco. The use of It is a personal matter, and as long as it docs not give offense to others, or act as a stumbling block In their way, It should be left to the individ ual. Hut if the dense palls of vapor which are generated between classes in the smokers* hangouts are a source of annoyance to the Oregon co-eds, then a little polite considera tion would be shown by moving across the street. In taking up this matter the stu dent council has not eudeavorod to promulgate any hard and fast rule for University men to follow. It has merely made a suggestion which the classes will do well to consider. If the use of tobacco near the Univer sity grounds has not caused annoy ance. well and good. If It has, then some other place should be found to accommodate the smokers. I The announcement received here, that a new women's dormitory, for several years a pet project of ltishop Scudding, will be started In the near i future and will probably be finished : and ready for occupancy next fall. Is , news that should be most grateful to i the University, forestalling as It does , the possibility of a shortage in hous- , lug accommodations, which other wise might be expected at the open- | lug of the next semester. !, Siuee the passage of the Univer sity appropriation bill laBt fall, the growth of the academic aide of the « University has been assured. More ( classrooms will, be provided, end an influx of student* following the is* crease of room Is naturally to be sxpectdtt. Bishop Scaddlng’s pro posed dormitory will not only pro vide for many of thope who may some in at the beginning of college In September, but will also be con veniently near to the campus. NIGHT SCHOOLS OF LAW DEFENDED BY PROFESSOR Dr. 0. D. Ashley Says Evening Men Have Better Average Than Day Students New York.—iDean Clarence D. Ashley, of the School of Law of New Sfork University, as the result of a comprehensive Investigation extend ing over the period of more than a year, offers the private records of the school of which he is dean, now the next to the largest in America, as a complete rebuttal to the resolu tion of the American Law School As sociation, which states that night law courses tend Inevitably to lower standards and that accordingly the association would not admit to mem bership any law school giving night courses. Dr. Ashley gives figures which show that evening men have main tained a better average grade than day men in New York University Uaw School for 14 years, where par allel courses, evening, day and after noon, are given. Of 1876 graduates of the t^hool In this period 1352 took work in day and 554 in evening. Of the day men 33 per cent attained an average mark above 70 aB against 36 per cent of evening men. y. W. NATIONAL OFFICER ADDRESSES MEETING Character, Thrift and Social Morality Miss Butler’s Theme Eliza R. Butler of New York, Na tional Secretary of the Young Wom en's Christian Association, spoke at the Y. W. C. A. meeting Monday afternoon. Miss Butler divided her talk Into three parts—character standards, thrift and efficiency, and social morality. * "The Y. W. C. A. is the largest women’s organization in the world," said Miss Butler. "The success of the Association comes from the mem bers. It Is not the numbers that count bo much us the quality." Miss Butler stated that she noticed a lack of real spiritual enthusiasm everywhere. People have become careless in their judgment of right and wrong. "Promote the right kind of char acter standards, promote the right kind of thrift and efficiency and pro mote the right kind of social rela tionship," she said, In conclusion. Miss Luclle Yoran sang "I Come to Thee,” by Caro Roma. After the meeting, the cabinet officers enter tained with light refreshments.

Henrietta t'rosinnn Who Appears T omorrow Night in “Tongues of Men" Henrietta Crosman, who has en deared herself so deservedly to the hearts of the American theatre-going public, comes to the Eugene theatre Wednesday, April 1, In “The Tongues of Men," by Edward Childs Carpen ter, In which she scored a remarkable success at the Harris theatre, New i'ork. After she had opened her season there, It was the critical and public trend of opinion that she has the best play in which she has ap peared iu years. The story of "The Tongues of den" has to do with a famous grand vpera favorite who is appearing in a deco that has some risque moments. V prominent young minister takes it ipon himself, without having seen he performance, to criticise it from he pulpit and condemns the woman i vho is playing the title role, saying hat she must be bad lu private life o enact such a part. The opera singer happens to be present during this tirade, makes the acquaintance of the rector, and dares him to come into her world. She tells him that he does not know what he is talking about, but is merely tak ing the ordinary view, and that the people in her sphere are Just as good as those in his—only not so hypo critical. The amusing and Interesting sit uations follow the minister accepting her dare and entering Bohemia, which proves to be quite different from his dreams. During his read justment of ideas a number of unique scenes take place, and Miss Crosman and her brilliant supporting com pany are shown at their best. The cast includes Prank Gilmore, Mar garet Randolph. Sheridan Block. Homer Granville, Edward Lee, Laura McGllvray, Katherine Presbrey, Paul Daucet and Florence Montayne.— Adr. 00090 00 0000000 0000 0 .
