OUR SOCIAL RULES.
Before the social rules were adopted and
passed by the faculty last year the so
cial avtivities of the campus were entire
ly out of harmony with the trend of the
University. The trend then as now
was toward higher standards in the class
rooms. On the other hand the erase
of dance was intensifying the social life
of the students and consequently com
batting the efforts to increase classroom
effeciency. This diametrical opposition
was the downfall of that intense campus
social life. The muse Terpsichore took
flight in the drastic measures adopted
by the faculty.
And now following a year of the social
rules what do we find?
A statement of faculty opinion ap
pears in this issue of the Kmernld.
Very loyally it upholds the rules. Yet
the reasons as given in this sentiment
shows virile health in their ability to
stand alone and to show cause why
these rules are wrong would take some
Very keen reasoning.
Yet exception is taken to these rules
by students who have the interests of
the University as much at heart as the
facility themselves.
Objection is not found in the rules be
ing too drastic. They could yet he
made more so and get l>,y all right. Ob
jection is not found in usurpation of
student liberty by faculty. There was
Bo usurpation. Objection is not found in
an endeavor to raise class room stand
ards. The standards could be raised
even still higher and find favor with the
earnest stuents. In fact the motives of
the faculty in the adoption and passing
of the rules are not to be question
ed.
The big question mark in the rules is
the result the problem now before the
student body of the University; a prob
..... 1 ■
lein of "Oregon Spirit,” democracy, and
cohesion.
As President Campbell so aptly put
it—this year sees the tradition from
the little university to the big. And with
this transition the problem of conceiv
ing the intensifying of Oregon Spirit
in democracy and cohesion gains im
portance. For this year sees the balance
of the majority of the students swung from
the fraternity to the non-fraternity. And
unless there is a mixing of the two and
an ass ■ tabling for a common purpose
factions will arise and witli them the ac
companying evils to the studnt body and
the University.
Giving the social rules the effective
mss of the past but changing them to
suit the new conditions is the advisable
action to be taken. Lot it be thoroughly
understood the Emerald desires no
change—and would abhor it—whereby
the effectiveness of the social rules would
be thwarted.
Hut as they now are, the social rules
are defective in consrving the spirit
of democracy on the campus. The
Emerald has a spcific remedy to apply
after this has been read and consid
ered.
Thursday has been selected as the of
ficial yell day for the rootrs. And this
day has been set aside by the coach when
the secret practice sign will be non
effective. A scrimmage will be staged
for the occasion weekly. The stage is
now set for the greatest show of “pep”
and “ginger” for the big football games
to come. If there is a failure, that will
be the stigma.
Dr. lYrcivnl Lowell is coming here
next month. 11 is the man who dis
covered Mars and now Mars is raising
-Gain in Europe. Wonder what the
good Doctor has against use.

Students Even Thought Store
Owned by Private Interests.
Proceeds From First Week’s
Sales Indicate Prosperity
for New Enterprise.
That the students of the University
need educating concerning co-operative
stores is the opinion of Marion F. Mc
Clain, manager of the University of Ore
gon cooperative store, which was opened
this semester.
“Here we have 800 students, everyone
a partner in this business,” said Mr.
McClain, “and yet many of them do not
know the purpose of a co-operative store
or who are the owners of this one.
After a student comes in and asks me
why I call it the co-operative store, and
when I explain that it is a business con
ducted by and for the University the stu
dent grasps and says, ‘Oh, I thought
it was your own store.’ They aren't
all freshmen either.
“It wouldn’t amount to much if they
only were concerned who make inquiries,
hut for every one who speaks of it at
all, there must be a half dozen or more
who are in the same ignorance but make
no remarks. The students certainly need
to get better acquainted with their busi
ness affairs.
“This is one of the few real “co-op”
stores in the United States,” continued
Mr. McClain. “Princeton has the larg
est one. Harvard does the largest busi
ness under the co-operative system, hav
ing three stores which do an annual
gross business of $400,000. But the
Harvard stores are backed by private
capital whereas the Princeton store is
not.”
The store has on hand a lot of books
turned over by the old University book
store. These are considered to be worth
not more than .’15 per cent of the list
price of $2275, because they are chiefly
books not now used in the University.
Mr. McClain hopes to turn these over
to some book firm.
Cloyd Dawson, ’10, who was to have
done the bookkeeping for the store has
left school and Ernest Watkins, TO, ap
pointed in his place, announced yester
day that he also will leave for home at
I
once.
PLANS FOR STUDY DESKS
Increased Use of Library by Students
Causes Many Inconveniences.
The number of students using the
University library is 25 i>or cent greater
than at this time last year, according to
library records. For the first ten days 1
last year the total number of library
books used was 2592. This year the
total was 5592.
This increase in the use of the lib
rary is working considerable inconveni
ence on the students of the University.
Several times it has been necessary for
them to be assigned to the tables re
served for the faculty members and
some have found it necessary to study
on the library steps.
In an effort to better library condi
tions for students. Librarian M. H.
Douglass has secured from the Univer
sity of Washington, their plans for an
improved individual study desk, similar
to those now being used there, and has
ordered several of them to be made for
use in the library here. They will be
place in small spaces about the reading
rooms not now in use and will help re
lieve the present congestion. Should
this experiment prove satisfactory, Mr.
Douglass plans to use them entirely,
displacing the long open tables now in
use. There is no money available at
this time, however, and the change can
not be made before January 1, even if i
found advistable.
