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.

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.

To the Editor:
Spring vacation has come and
gone. 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?

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.
