It wns a terrible jar—nnd shock—to students high and low who were caught in the meshes of the fueulty probation net yesterday. With over 800 of the candid notices cramming the bulletin board there was big occasion for weeping nnd wailing nnd hasty contemplation of catching departing trains homeward bound. But if the reasons why these notices were given out nre seriously reflected upon none of the 300 will leave for home nor will any be missing when the roll is enlled at the beginning of the second semester. Not only nre the purposes of these notices significant but what they show as well. They were primarily designed, so the Emerald understands, to nwaken students to the work they were doing in all classes during the middle of the semester, and if low in their work then have an opportunity for raising their standards and come out of their courses with colors flying at the time of final examinations. With due seriousness on the part of those students who have been asleep on the job this aim of the faculty can be accomplished. But the posting of these notices shows n most serious and acute situation with in the student body. In the first place the students most prominent in student activities of all kinds, bar none, felt the weight of the ban, nnd in the second place it is not so much the freshmen as the sophomores who need scholarship scourging. The problem that apparently then, needs to be solved is to arrange some system whereby the student activities of n man or woman nre limited and the pressure equalised upon both freshmen nnd sopohmores. For apparently the re lease from freshmen rules nnd their dominance in turn of the incoming fresh men 1ms worked m hardship upon the sophomores. The sooner those dear friends on Whose toes the Emerald trends realize the Emerald’s independence and that It Is strictly a student body newspaper the sooner will they come to Emerald of ficials with their complaints, "’e are ■ifraid they will find little satisfaction if other tactics are adopted. BACHELOR LIVING. A distinctly increasing trend in I’niver sity life that is marking the present period as individual from those which have gone before at Oregon is the grow ing number of students who are “buteh ii.g.” These students, living upon their own n cans and by their own hands, are courageously disregarding the difficulties : that often prevent young men and women ; fr(.m securing n university education and, despite obstacles that thousands have considered insurmountable, are making their way through the University. This is a condition which has been brought about by the popularization of our educative institutions and the in creasing desire for higher learning. It is , ultimate proof of the democracy, the growing democracy, of our own Univer •it.v. Here we have a group of students known as the Bachelor's club, organised not only under the sanction hut the instiga tion of the eiecutlvc head of the insti tution, which, opening its membership to men and women alike, is endeavoring to simplify and make more economical the problems, of bachelor living. Co-operative buying is in prospect. Living accom modations erected by the University have been discussed and the whole matter of securing an education at the least pos sible expenditure gone over by the club and a faculty committee in an endeavor to encournge and increase the move ment toward this type of activity. To this undertaking and the students who have initiated it is due praise of a higher order. It is a factor lending it self to the pride of our University and to the dignity and worth of our whole educative system. Much a movement spreading throughout the colleges of the country would show more conclusively the democracy which we believe to be, if not a fact, at least almost u neces sity in the American university. This trend and this organization is a part of Oregon, and a part of which Oregon may be proud. J. D. G. * * COMMUNICATION *---• ' ■ w To the Editor: The board of directors, the librarian and the assistant librarian of the North Hend library, were to tny the least, mild ly surprised on reading the Emerald of November 1(1, to find themselves relieved of all resonsibility for tho management of the library. Indeed they felt that they had been kindly given “The Absent Treat ment.” » North Bend has a librarian, also an assistant librarian, and regular hours, neither does the janitor of the building have any responsibility for cire of said library. North Bend’s library is also under lock and key and with due care of the library force, has about the average loss of books, that other libraries have. In fact North Bern! Is made up not of angels or mythical people, but of good, wholesome, wideawake eitiiens, with all the virtues and faults of such. The library has in connection n read ing room on the tables of which appear all the daily papers and this is at all times open to the public. North Bend'* librarians are in fact, much less mythicalogical than the source from which the Emerald obtained her information for the article of November 10. Signed MBS. ,1. A.

But a Beaver can’t budge a strong stone wall, Nor swim through a solid line. A Beaver never can do’t—that’s all! So he might just as well resign Himself to his sad, immutable fate Of defeat and dire distress, For Oregon fight will never abate Nor Oregon spirit grow less. 4ft 4ft 4ft REGINA PUNORUM. They say the pun’s the lowest wit, But I don’t b’Jieve a bit of it, For Shakespeare cracked them in his plays, And .T. Russ Lowell had a craze For punning quite outrageously; And Echo June at this san.e art Is so inveterately smart That I can hardly say “Hello” Without her punning so-and-so. From information in our reach, We now declare Marie X. Beach Of all the punsters is the worst, The one who is the most accurst With this plebean form of wit, That makes us reel and want to hit The one who dareB to perpetrate A pun that’s old or up-to-date. LATER BULLETIN. A messenger has brought the news, That former data did abuse The witty name of bright Marie, AVhose puns are cracked originally, Not like the common vulgar run Of those who glory in a pun. “Regina Punorum” we dub her now, While placing laurel or. her brow. 4ft 4ft 4ft SCOTTY JAMEY SPEAKS. Robert McDonald sent Jem McDou gal oot to dig some post holes for a pasture fence. When McDonald cam* back to see hoo the wor-r-rk was get tin’ on, he saw to his anger-r-r that Jem had dug the holes all over the pas ture, here and there. “Yuh beg fool, the holes are nae str r-raight!” “Ever-r-ry twa one’s straight,” re torted Jem. WHAT DID THE GIRLS THINK. While the girls were in swimming, the men’s' gym ehiss taking their showers, wailed, groaned, shrieked, begged for mercy. “Oli-o-o-o-!” Dave Wilson yelled, “Please Mr. Qymteacher, unbind me and take me out of this cold water. Oh o-o-o. . .” Others wniled as if they were being killed. But they were only foolin’. # #. « THE MEN YOU BOOZE WITH. “Oh, who are the men that fond mem’ry allows A place in your later-day dreams— The men that you booze with and car rouse— The stars on the bulling teams — Or the ones you bone with studiously, With never a rough-neck thrill?’’ A stude of the old days asked of me; Non-committal, I kept still. So lie rambled on while he reminisced Of the “good old days” of yore, And he ranted about the joys that we missed, And he waxed indignantly sore: “In the rip-snortin’ time when Spring field was wet, A man was a man through and through. But now it’s pigging and gay etiquette, And a sissified ‘How do you do?” “To sit all the night in a wild poker game And never weaken a whit; To laugh carelessly at the faculty’s blame, And flunk without knowing you're hit— That is the test of real manhood, my friend; This purism's rotten, I say. . . .” “But does better citizenship depend tin college men trained in that way?” MANY ARROWS SHOT.
