Gilfilen WEDNESDAY, A1*HIL 2», 1014 IN EXPLANATION For the balance of the school year the Emortfld will appear twice a week, on Wednesday and on Satur day, Instead of three times a week as haB been done thiB year up to the present time. The idea in mak ing this change is not to cut down in the slightest the amount of news printed, but rather to condense the stories and to improve the quality of what appears in the columns of the Emerald, in addition an effort will be made to establish a more accurate balance between the adver tising and the news printed In each Issue. TUB VISITING ATHLETES Junior Week-End will commence in a little over a week, and for two daya the studeuts, and the men and women who are guests of the Uni versity at that time from the pre paratory schools, will be In a con stant bustle, one constant hurry to get Into everything that Is crowded into the brief time slotted for the Junior celebration. It will keep the guests busy, and if past ex perience Is to be taken as a guide it will keep their hosts even busier. One of the big attractions of the week, in fact one of the biggest, and the one which undoubtedly will prove of the most interest to the high school visitors, will be the in ter-scholastic meet which will do • termlue the track supremacy of the state of Oregon. This meet will be hold on Saturday. Reports have It that there are some athletes of real ability who will compote at this time and it is imperative that they be In condition to do their best for the schools they represent. One of the things that takes the edge off a track man's fitness, Is lack of sleep, and this is something which It is especially hard to guard against during the strenuous pro gram of the two proceeding days and evenings, it is nearly impossi ble for him to get to sleep before twelve at night and the early start ing of the meet the next day makes it difficult for him to make up the lost sleep. A measure which has been prop osed for the remedying of this con dition and which should be attend ed to before the rush at the end of uoxt week makes It Impossible Is the segregation of all the track athletes into the dormitory, or one or more of the fraterulty houses, the other organizations on the cam pus taking care of those who had been foroed to move out temporar ily. In case this could not be ac complished It would be advisable to charter a floor at one of the local hotels. There are a certain number of men who may be counted on to be here during the week-end, Special arrangements for the track men in the list wouldQmean little or no ex^ tra bother, and no add&ional ex pense. But preparations must be made at once of any good is to be accomplished. Y. W. C. A. DISCUSSES MEETING HOUR CHANGE Regular Monday Afternoon .. Gathering Taken Up With Song Service The Y. W. C. A. meeting Monday was taken up with a song service, followed by a discussion of the ad visability of changing the hour of meeting from Monday at 4 o’clock to 7 o’clock on some morning near the middle of the week. This change may not take place as there are only year. Katherine Bridgees had charge of the meeting yesterday. Miss Mary Watson, of the English Literature department, will talk to the association next Monday after noon. SENIORS PRACTICE FOR “THE PROF. AND SOPH” Junior Week End Play Cast Has Clever Piece as Vehicle for Class Talent “The Prof, and the Soph,” is the next University play, which is to be produced Junior Week End by the oeuior Ciass. The University dramat ic season will eud witih King Lear, which the dramatic classes will pro duce commencement week. “The Prof and the Soph” is a clev er comedy; the delightful story of how a young college Professor wins a girl. The girl is a Sophomore, who boasts at the beginning of the play she can take the Professor’s mind off hlB work. The play contains a real vlllian, played by Ira Staggs. This villian steals some examination questions and manages to get the blame for the theft placed on the Soph’s bro ther, a youth with a defective rep utation. The Prof, believes her bro ther Is guilty, as does everyone else except the Soph, and the real vil lian. At last everything is straight ened out, the crook is brought to justice, the Soph and the Prof are united and the Soph’s brother be comes engaged. Willard Shaver plays the Prof and Ethel Tooxe the Soph. Itehearsals having been going on constantly the last few weeks under the direction of Prof. A. P. Reddle. -.-. Miss Agnes Campbell Is studying art in Berlin. She is planning to go with a company of other Americans on a vacation trip to Prague In Aus tria-Hungary. They will spend some time there and then walk back, probably 'through Bohemia. She went to Europe in August and spent several months in Switzerland. Her brother, David Campbell, is wlith her and is studying music. Ninety five art photographs, re productions of masterpieces, made by Alinarl in Italy have just ar rived at the library to be used by Mrs. Pennell in her art classes. Eighty-five students have with drawn from the University of Il linois this semester.

And with It lias come the annually-recurrent question as to the advisability of doing away with this historic Institution. Why was sprug vacation ever inaugurated? Perhaps to provide a week of rest : for the overworked undergraduate but more probably to conform to the custom that has prevailed In' other colleges from time Immemorial. No one will contend that this va cation is essential to the health of the average undergraduate. As a matter of fact the week is usually crammed so full of social activities both for ‘Ihose who remain in Eu gene o and those who return home that the student returns to college in a more precarious physical con dition than when vacation commenc ed. A serious break always occurs in the college work. This is attested by both students and faculty. A week at least is required to become again in sympathy with college rou tine. But the most damaging argument against “Spring Vacation” that must appeal to a large number of Ore gon Undergraduates is the financial loss it entails. Not only is a week lost that might have been devoted to some paying job hut the Oregon student is actually handicapped in securing work for the summer. This is true not only because the high, schools in the state dismiss school from one to three weeks earlier than the University, but also because the California colleges also dismiss early ano a throng of several thousand po tential workers is turned loose in the state. As a result the best jobs are secured before the Oregon students even have a “look in”. If spring va cation were abolished at the Uni versity, college could close a week earlier and the Oregon student would be more assured of a job to'r the summer. Of a number of students Inter viewed by the writer not a single student took stand as favoring the continuance of Spring Vacation. Is this a question that should come be fore the student council or should it be decided by the students In the forth-coming Spring elections? Why continue an institution that rests on no basis save that of cus tom and that is so evidently oppos ed to the best interest of the indiv idual students? AN UNDERGRADUATE. HARRY LAUDER SINGING AND TALKING PICTURES Harry Lauder Films, Co., Inc., Direction of William Morris The Harry Lauder singing and calking pictures will be disclosed Tor the first time to any audience at the Eugene theatre one night next Saturday under the direction of William Morris, Lauder’s manager. Considerable interest attaches to this exhibition, for it is said that the pictures represent the last word in reproducing the human voice. Perfect synchornlzatlon has been secured. The entertainment must not be confounded with the ordinary mov ing picture show. Among other sel ections from his repertoire, the famous Scottish comedian will be heard in "I Love A Lassie,” "She’s the Lass For Me,” "The Saftest O’ The Family”, She’s Ma Daisy”, and "A Wee Deoch-An-Doris.” Harry Lauder, the internationally famous Scottish comedian, will be re produced to life at the Eugene Theatre next Saturday night, when the Lauder singing and talking pic tures are represented tto the pub lic. These picturees are so won derful that the world’s greatest en tertainer is said to fairly walk out of the picture and hiB voice rings through the auditorium with a real human note. In the Lauder sing synchronization has at last been attained. "1 Love A Lassie," "Saftest O’ The Family,” She’s Ma Daisy,” "A Wee Deoch-an Doris” and other fav orite Lauder songs will be repro duced through the power of the won derful new invention. Notice. The Ladies’ Specialty Shop will give special prices on coats and suits this week. 36 9th avenue east. McINTOSH & CLARK. Ivory cigarette holders at Obak's.
