Eet that ho distinctly un derstood. But the Emerald stands, sup ports and bases its existence on serv ing the best interests of the University student body. If, in the Emerald s discretion, the best interests of the stu dent body are interests in conflict with those of a union, then the Emerald has no alternative imt to uphold those in terests which it serves. The musicians of Eugene have a union. To it belong several students, seven of whom play lending parts in the Varsity band. Thursday night the union decreed these members should not play for tlie student body dance. Members of the student council met with officers of the union and temporary acquiesence by the union officials gave the student body its complete band for the dance last night. But the question lias not finally been settled. Km- the love of nil that is snored nml holy, in organization in thin <lny anil ftgc coming to that stage where university student bodies must he commercialized to furnish remunerative employment for those to whom the student bodies owe no obligation? ltatiou|il unions we believe In. Hut this *s not rationalism. These students came to the University and joined the University band upon merit. For their services they are given Uni versity credit, uniforms and Instruction from a competent salaried instructor of the University school of music. AH that is demanded of these men as members of the hand is that they be in readiness, not ns individuals, but collectively as part of the hand, to furnish music for the student body: it also being under stood that playing for a dance shall constitute a rehearsal for which credit Is given. Now comes along a union and says its members if students shall not play for a student body dance. This is n pretty mess ft union telling the Uni versity its students shall not do class work. What in thunder did these stu dents come to the l Diversity for to get paid for studying? VOTING BONDS—FACTS. Following the lead of an editorial in the last issue, the Emerald will carry on further tonight the question of voting $H>,IKK) bonds by presenting a few salient facts. 1—Football at the University has grown into a major sport on a par with that of any institution of the United States. U—/Today Oregon has a second-rate | field, and to stage a major sport game ! on it is like staging a “big league” game ; on a “bush” field. "The best for the I best” is axiomatic. •‘{—Since the management has been ' staging big games on the campus the at tendance! lias steadily fallen off. Foot ] ball fans refuse to witness two well matched teams handicapped by a gridiron of muck and water. 4—A new field is a matter of expedi ency. The students paying a big tax arc entitled to returns. But the man agement cannot stage big games at a heavy financial loss and there will lie no other alternative than to stage the games where they will draw the crowd. fi If the present field is retained other schools will eventually refuse to play Oregon on its home grounds. That is inevitable. <! —The plans provide for a modern and permanent athletic field for all sports. Such a field is generally conceded as a vital need to the University. 7 The amount of if10,000 is a maxi mum sum. It may not be necessary to bond the student body so heavily. S The California game next year is to be a “head liner,” and to adver tise the dedication of a "new, modern and pornjnncnt athletic field” would bring accruing profits that would help pay off the indebtedness. 1) Financiers concede the practicabil ity of tlie bonding plan and word comes that buyers are ready for the bonds as —r i For Xmas Giving Sweaters, Jerseys, Tokos, Knives, Safety Razors, Flash Lights, Thermos Bottles, Tennis Rackets and Covers, Foot balls, Base Balls, Tennis Balls, Outfitters for Sportsmen and Athletes.

It sort o’ warmed the cockles of our editorial heart to see happiness traveling about the gymnasium floor two by two last night. The music was great and the informality and general mixing seems to justify the re-instatement of the stu dent body dance. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ The junior class announces confi- ♦ ♦ dence in its ability to whip the ♦ ♦ senior, sophomore, or freshman ♦ <• classes, one at a time, at the game ♦ ♦ of soccer, and hereby issues a chal- ♦ <• lorige for a game to be played ♦ ♦ early in January, back of Kincaid ♦ ♦ field, against any of the three class- ♦ ♦ os described. ♦ Jimmy Sheehy. ♦ ❖♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ Oregana Staff meeting Tuesday, ♦ ♦ seven o’clock at Pi Beta Phi house. ♦ **♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ ♦ GIRLS Room and Board at The E.
