W<5 predict that the rule, if enacted, will have its effect on our social life. How ever, the effect will hardly be what the faculty anticipates. Doubtless the measure will be wel comed with rejoicing by many of the women’s fraternities, who will find in it a handy exit through which to crawl out of the duty of reciprocal j ing the men’s attentions by giving them parties. Doubtless, also, it will! reduce the number of social affairs within the college community. Wheth er it will actually lessen the amount of social activity is another matter. We opine that it will not. The nor mal college student craves a certain leaven in his daily bread, and if he does not get it in one form he will find it in another; if not inside col lege precincts, then outside. Therefore one of the results the new rule will accomplish will he that of fattening the gate receipts at a certain local shrine of Terpsichore. The pool halls, picture shows, and re-1 freshment parlors will all gain by the faculty’s legislation. Also; the student will he compelled to pay more for his diversions than at pres ent, because entertaining at home is less expensive than “doing” the town. As we said before, the rule will have its effect on our social life. THE COMPULSORY CLASS TAX Were there any evidence to indicate that a compulsory class tax would work an actual hardship on the self-, supporting, poverty-stricken student, the Emerald would he inclined to op pose the constitutional amendment which is to he submitted to the Stu dent Body Assembly Wednesday. However, class Treasurers and other officials who have enjoyed the delightful privilege of collecting the dues testify with one voice that it is not the poor but honest student who dodges his dues. Rather, it is the man who is prosperous enough finan einlv, but deficient in generosity and class loyalty, who shows his heels to the tax-gatherer. It is said that at present on the av erage not more than GO per cent of the students pay their class dues, anil the delinquent 10 per cent is made up almost entirely of those who could afford to pay but will not. A compulsory tax, collected by the Registrar at the beginning of the year along with the registration and Student Body fees, would affect every, one alike. Coming at this time, when we generally have some money and are prepared to have it pried from us by one means or another, the part ing would seem less painful. Best of all, the compulsory tax would clear up most of the perplex lties ol class finances. £.acn ciass would have a definite annual income, and it could regulate its expenditures accordingly. And since the budget does not vary greatly from year to year, this plan would not lead to ex travagance. The surplus, if any, which the class might accumulate in its third or fourth year could be used to advan tage, either in improving its Ore gana, or in providing a decent me morial on the campus. And, speaking of the Oregana, is this not the most promising solution of that knotty problem yet suggest-, ed? Incidentally, it would be possible under the proposed system to utilize the best business brains in the han dling of class finances. Heretofore the necessity of constantly dunning! his fellow-classmen has made many a good man shy from the class treas urership. And finally, placing the collection of the tax in the Registrar’s hands would give the class the benefit of the efficient book-keeping service of the University office. Method and sys tem would displace chaos, and there would no longer be cause to impugn the integrity or efficiency of a class treasurer because of carelessly-kept accounts. These are some of the advantages of the proposed plan. Can they be challenged ? ANI) HERE’S ANOTHER Another amendment which deserves to pass next Wednesday is that mak ing the President of the Student Body a member of the Athletic Council. At present the Athletic Council and Executive Committee work in the dark, so far as each other’s movements are concerned. The Coun cil spends the Student Body’s money and the Committee appropriates it, yet there is no man who serves on both bodies and thus knows their re pective attitudes on a common ques tion. The Student Body President is al ready a member of the Executive Committee, and his office is the log ical link through which the connec tion should be established. DO YOU KNOW HIM? He is not very ,‘prominent” and he does not pretend to be very wise. Nevertheless he is one of the really big men on the campus. And this is why: he is not so en grossed in his own affairs and im pressed with his own importance that he begrudges the word of sympathy or appreciation which his fellow-stu dent may merit. When you have staked n good part of your heart and brain on any* kind of game and won—or failed—and yet nobody seems to care, and you wonder “what’s the use ” then this man comes to you quietly and grasps your hand and tells you you’ve done well. And you feel a queer little thrill somewhere deep in your chest, and your spine stiffens, and you meet the next task with a smile. BILL HAYWR1) Nothing we might say could add more than a shade to the lustre of that name. No matter what, our representatives may do or fail to do in other sports. Bil’s track team always comes through. lie has just won his ninth confer ence championship. And, all along the line, no matter how the other colleges may depreciate the victory and profess that they don’t care much about track, anyway to themselves they are say ing, just as we are saying here, "You've got to hand it to Bill.” • # CAMPUS NOTHS Miss Mary Tischer spent the week end with her parents in Salem. Pari and Erma Zimmerman and Miss Katharine Davis were dinner truests at Mary Spiller Hall Thurs day. Mrs. W. M.

According to the present indications, the production promises to be one of the smoothest perform ances ever given by the University. The cast will include the entire class in Dramatic Interpretation, which numbers about 40 members. A touch of pageantry will be added with the introduction of dancing, which is a feature of Moliere’s plays. The same play was produced before King Louis XIV, and it received the warmest commendation >--«----) THE RAINBOW Eugene's Palatial Sweet House BOWLING Ladle*’ Day Every Wadered’y ---(8 Howl Osburn The Tride of Eugene Student’s Luncheons and Banquets A Specialty Sunday Evening ‘Dinners M Specialty Salvai at Last Install a pump and drive it with electricity Oregon Power Co Palace Shine Parlor The Shine Doctor 747Willamotte “MERODE” Knit Underwear for Women Union Suits 50c Fine white cotton, light weight union suits, low neck, sleeveless, tight or loose knee length.
