TO BMOKK OK NOT
The question of smoking or not
smoklug on the walkB adjoining the
University will be Introduced at the
class meetings Wednesday morning
by the student council, acting through
individual representatives. 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.
