TOO DEEP FOR US Students of the methods of Mon sieur Dupin, Sherlock Holmes, William J. Burns and other ferrets of crimi nals and fathomers of crime, are awaiting with interest the novel scheme pursued by the local library authorities in unravelling the mystery of the disappearance of twelve Mazda electric light globes from the stack room of the library. The trap which has been laid with almost demoniacal cunning for the culprits is this: no student is to be allowed the privileges of the stack room until the missing property is returned. As we go to press we learn that the pillagers still roam at large, and that the stolen “glims” have not boen brought back. If we may venture a purely unprofessional opinion, it is that they never will be brought back, even though the stack room be barred until Doomsday. Meanwhile, the purpose for which, it would seem, the library is main tained by the state—that of provid ing free opportunities for research to the students—is being largely de feated. Of course, a student may get any specified book from the stack room through the Librarian’s desk. This method, however, is so inade quate and inconvenient that advan tage is taken of it only in cases of direst necessity. As a matter of fact, the average student does not go to the library shelves with any partic ular book in mind. He is more likely interested in a particular subject, and needs to look through all the books on that subject to find the knowledge he is after. Unless he has free ac cess to all text-books, unless he can pick up one after another and exam ine its contents at first hand, instead of through a card index, he cannot ac complish his reading intelligently. By what peculiar process of rea soning seven hundred students are de nied this privilege, merely because one or two of their number may have been abusing it, passeth our under standing. We earnestly hope that the perpetrators of petty thievery about the University will be apprehended and punished. But this is not the way to apprehend and punish them. It would be ns logical to shut all the citizens of Eugene indoors at night because of the exploits of Jack the Grab. WE RE GLAD GEORGE DID IT It is not our purpose here to dilate upon the achievements of George Washington. There are numerous courses in history in the University which dispose of that duty. The carv ing of the cherry tree and the cross i ing of the Delaware we shall leave to the First Reader to amplify. But there is one action of the greatest American which college stu dents should never evase to extol. In j deed, it was not an unusual action, | and it was entirely unpremeditated on Washington’s part, but nevertheless it has been mighty in its good results. We refer to the great and inestima ble service performed by the Father of His Country in toeing born. Had he been neglectful in this mat ter, we would not be celebrating his birthday next Monday. And, inciden tally, we over-worked students would not be enjoying a vacation on that day. So glory be to Washington for what he did for us. We could have sug gested but one improvement, and per haps it is ungracious to mention it. Nevertheless, we wish that George ; could have fixed it so that his natal day would always be a week day, ! like Thanksgiving. Then we could never be cheated out of our holiday by the date falling on a Saturday or Sunday—a deplorable situation which arose last year. * ONCE OVERS * * By Rax Kay. • ************* Lawrence J. Martin, the- new Wash ington track coach, will give his men the first workout next Tuesday. About 60 men will turn out. “Skeeter” Bigbee is getting so good at throwing baskets from almost im possible angles, that it is about time for some of our conference rivals to start that “lucky dog” stuff. Martinson, the big 200 pound boy who played center for Idaho, stands a little over six feet two, is nineteen years old and only a Freshman. What about three years hence? W. S. C. won the inter-collegiate rifle championship of the United States by defeating West Virginia by 986 to 973, a perfect score being 1,000. uartmoum won me ski jumping contest from McGill University. The longest jump was by Reddie, of Mc Gill. He made 87 feet, the longest jump, but fell after landing. Students at the University of Col orado are not allowed to participate in inter-collegiate basketball. They think that this is a great injustice and are now signing petiitons to be al lowed to play. If every basketball game would fur nish the thrills equal to those “pulled” in the second half of the Idaho game last Tuesday, it is safe to say that football would have a closer rival in the sporting world. Hayward now has his track men working out under the “shed” in Kin caid Field three times a week. As a precaution against “buckshins,” caused by dampness, etc., the boys are wearing long trousers. Ann Arbor, Mich.—Michigan's ath letic prospects got solid jolts in all three major sports by the semester examinations just passed. Football casualties include Galt, Splayn, Lyons, Zieger, and Huebel. Hughitt and Webber, of the baseball talent, are knocked out. In track the Wolverine prospects in the indoor intercollegi ate relays at New York and the Pripceton race Saturday were ruined when Murphy and Lynch came under the faculty bnn. iS, 1 -(•> SATURD’Y SPECIAL Floradora Puffs 35c lb.
