Not only does the production itself promise well, but it marks the long-deferred opening of the campus theatrical season. No one this year can complain of a surfeit of dramatic offerings, for for merly one or several successive troupes have trod the boards ere this. Furthermore, the caste of Thursday evening’s play cannot be accused of having essayed the ultra-classical, for surely “Huck Finn” does not demand of us uncommon elevation of brow. The students who will enact this play have worked hard for a number of weeks, and needless to say, their director has worked more than hard, to make it worth while. They huve gambled to the extent of engaging the local theater rather than Villard Hall, and they have gone to great pains to provide adequate scenery and costumes. Since the arrival of Pro fessor Reddie three years ago, the University has achieved some notable triumphs in amateur acting. Each of us, when his time comes to “pull” his little stunt, appreciates a good audience. It matters not wheth er our specialty is athletics, or ora tory, or harmony, or journalism, 'or just scholarship—it is the hope of ap proval from some one or other which lures us on. What fun would there be in writing this scintillating editorial, if it were not for the pleasing possibility of its finding a compassionate reader? Yes, all of us uro actors, even if we don’t ull go on the stage. But we digress. The moral is: go to “Huckleberry Finn.” Let us smash another campus tradition and give it a full house. • DRIBBLES AND SIMKES By Rex Kay. “The W. S. C. basketball team won from the University of Montana, at Pullman, last Saturday, by a score of 39 to til. Anderson and Bolder were the stars for the Ny.S. C. five. The game was extremely rough.”— Ex. Chronicle. “At the annual meeting of the Inter collegiate Association Football League held at Columbia University last week, Pennsylvania was awarded the 1914 championship. The other teams finished in the following order: Har vard, Cornell, Columbia, Princeton, Yale and Ilaverford.”—N. Y. Ex. “The men must learn to keep the ball within the bounds and control it better when running," said Professor It is reported that Chet Wolcott, forward on last year's basketball team, will enter college in February. Coach Bezdek appointed Lyle Big bee floor captain for last Friday night’s game. “Well, you certainly gave us a good game,” said the Willamette coach to Coach Bezdek after the basketball game last Friday night. Wheeler, one of the basketball men who has been down with the mumps, was out and around yesterday, but is still unable to get into the game. Johnnie Beckett says that he ex pects to leave college in February for the rest of the year. Even so, he says that he will be back to play foot: ball next fall. A platform for the shot-putters has just been completed, and it is said that work will be started on the sheds in Kincaid Field within a few days. Bill Snyder, football star on the 1914 team, will try to annex a few odd points to Oregbn’s credit in track this year in the weights. At present he is weighing around 200 pounds and says he is in fine condition. “They have not yet learned to keep “They have not yet leaerned to keep the ball close to the toe, and this is a most necessary and difficult fear. It is especially hard for the players when close to the side lines.” Several of Oregon’s best football players have received catalogues from the University of Montana within the last few days. “Certainly interesting and well got ten up,” remarked one of the men who was so favored. A Willamette Freshman attended the game last Friday night with his lady, but minus his green cap. Be tween halves four heartless roughs broke up the party, carried the of fending Frosh to the center of the floor, where he was reminded of his error by way of severe doses of “bumps” and “hot-hand,” sweetened with cheers from the gallery. “The first practice for track has be gun at W. S. C. and the men are now turning out three times each week. The distance men are working out on a small outdoor track, while the jump ers and weight men are doing spe cial work in the gymnasiums. .../‘Captain Dietz, Monroe, Hansen, Schultz and McCroskey are the letter men who are out. There are 40 in all reporting to Coach Bohler.”— Chronicle. * CAMPUS NOTES * I Mrsf. Dora C. Gray, Albert Gillette and Mamie Gillette were dinner guests at the Beta Theta Pi house Sunday. J. M.

The discussion, I believe, was opened by a professor, who deplored the lack of initiative in undergradu ates^ fellow instructors concorded with him in his wailings; in fact, the prevailing opinion throughout the whole propaganda of these exponents of higher education seemed to be that the student should do more thinking for himself. That was the talk. It seems to me now that it is about tune for some of that talk to take material form. So far absolutely nothing has been done by the powers that be to encourage individual speculation in undergrad uates. On the other hand it seems that everything possible has been done further. to curb the student in the development of free will—the pro gressive spirit that will be of such a great benefit to him in his life work. The cut system is a typical exam ple of the several precepts and petty rules that pervade Oregon’s higher educational institution and so remind us of our days in grammar school, when we were spanked for dropping pencils on the floor. What chance have we to develop character under such handicaps? So far no members of the faculty have publicly expressed themselves in regard to the agitation for the abolishment of the preseent cut sys tem. Let us hear what the authori ties have to say for themselves.
