It served the purpose for which the Mix was instituted—that of a safety valve to the natural rivalry developed be tween the two lower classes each fall. There was plenty of good sport for both spectators and contestants, and no casualties. With this, the fourth Mix, the idea may be fairly said to have passed the experimental stage and to have won a place among campus institutions. Each year the program has differed radically from those which have gone before. Various events and “stunts” have been tried and discarded as lacking in the essentials of a good interclass "scrap.” From the expe rience of four years, it should be pos sible for future Junior committees to adopt the ideas which have proved successful, and stage a far more in teresting Mix than any that has gone before. For one thing, most of Saturday’s contests, while highly absorbing to the participants, were unsatisfactory from the spectator’s standpoint. The flag rush, for example. From the inside it was the most exciting of all the events; but to the crowd it was merely an agitated conglomeration of arms, legs and other members. „ The reason for the popularity of the sandbag contest and tie-up with the spectators is that they are fought in the open. Saturday’s Mix was also partly de moralized by the shifting of the are na from Kincaid Field to the cam pus, so that the last two events, the water fight and tug-of-war, could be contested. We believe it is better to hold the entire program on the field, especially since it is no longer possi ble to adjourn to the duck pond for the tug-of-war. We also believe that the interest in the Mix on the part of both spec tators and contestants will be inten sified if the program is cut down to three or four events which have stood the test and have proved real “thrill ers.” Tlie sandbag contest and the tie-op seem to have qualified. The most successful of all contests from every point of view, however, was the pushball battle which was the “head liner” of the Mix the first two years. It gives every man in both classes an opportunity to distinguish himself; the contest itself is exciting; the spectators cannot lose sight of the ball, however thick the fray; and there is an absence of the personal jousts such as developed Saturday. But here a difficulty arises: in the past two years the managers of the Mix have been unable to obtain a pushball. It costs money for that much ball, and the owners of the only two in the Northwest now refuse tn take the risk of loaning them with out the protection of a larger bond j than the Junior class has felt able to pay. Why should not the Student Body own a pushball? The saving in trou ble and expense to the Mix managers, would offset its cost in time. If nee-1 cssary, the money could be raised by ' a special campaign—perhaps one sin-1 gle benefit entertainment. Here is a pretext for reviving the late lament ed County Fair, which went so far toward making the Y. W. C. A. bun-, galow possible- and which went so far in other ways.

COMMUNICATION * ***** **** In the issue of the Emerald for Tuesday of this week, an editorial states, “We have received a sugges tion that a panoramic photograph be taken of the Student Body. We be lieve the suggestion a good one. The project has never been accomplished here,’’ and then makes the pertinent inquiry, “Is an assembly of all the students possible?” Indeed, such an assembly is possi ble, for such a project has been ac complished here. It was in the in auguration of the Pledge Day at the University, some two years ago, and the entitle Student Body was assem bled and a successful panoramic mov ing picture taken. Unfortunately, of course, it was not possible to print this picture, and so its permanent value was lost. But let us stage another successful picture this year and keep its value. And we can do that through the rea sonableness of one photographer who has said to me, “I will make a pano rama picture of the Student Body of the University forty inches long and MARTIN MILLER ‘Repairing While You Wait 40 West Sth St. The Rainbow EUGENE'S BIG POPULAR PLACE CONFECTIONS The best in all eur goods and ger-1 vices that can be secured.

I will also make all the necessary preparation* for taking the picture, so it will not re quire more than ten minutes of the students’ time.” Could anything more reasonable than this be asked? 1 spoke to administrative officers concerning the project and they hearti ly endorsed it and said they would back it. oAsked as to when they would suggest a date for the taking of the picture, they thought the first Wed nesday in November would be a suit able time. The first Wednesday of each month at assembly hour is the regular time fpr the meeting of the classes. Then with all the classes as sembled, it would be an easy matter to march en masse to the selected spot and with the faculty have a pic ture taken that to each of us would be invaluable. All that is now needed is the co operation of each student. Let’s co operate and on November 4th have* a picture taken that means so much and costs so little. HAROLD HAMSTREET. ALLEN EATON WILL GIVE LEC TURE ON PARISH THREE TIMES A number of students have ex pressed a desire to be present at Mr. Allen Eaton’s Art Appreciation class when he lectures on the work of Max field Parrish. The lecture will be given three times during the week, Tuesday at 9:00 and 10:00, and Thurs dey at 11:00, in the new Architectural building. “This will be interesting and in structive to the students, I am sure," said Mr. Eaton, “and those wishing to come will be welcome, and I shall obably not repeat this lecture dur ing the year, and those interested should attend during the coming week.” During the last week Mr. Eaton’s classes in Art Appreciation have treb led in size, which shows with what interest the students are taking up this work. For the coming lectures Mr. Eaton will show and explain a number of Mr. Parrish’s works and books he has illustrated. 5 TUDENTS’ Loose Leaf Headquarters I. P.
