Oregon, Journal, says: “Prob a'bly no other agency since the battleship Oregon made its famous dash around Cape Horn has given the state so much advertising in the east as the victory of the University of Oregon over the University of Pennsylvania at Pasa dena, Cal., New Years day * * The suggestion may be far fetched but it looks ns if it is up to somebody to re ward the Eugene students just ns n gruteful state rewarded the crew of the battleship with a silver service.” Which all reminds us of the college night of vaudeville so enthusiastically planned just previous to the holidays. That was planned whereby each class was to put on twenty minutes of enter tainment and the proceeds to go in ob taining gold footballs for the “Pacific Coast Champions.” If the campus felt so grateful that it •was anxious to reward the boys for bringing home the Pacific Const gonfalon previous to the Pasadena game how much more grateful should the feeling be now that the touted University of Pennsylvania lads have been humbled! Bring on the college night of vaude ville and let the inscription on the souve nirs read “National Football Champions of the Season of 11)1 fl." WHAT KIND OF COURAGE? Now thiit everyone hns been home and hung up hie stocking by the family fire place and hud it generously filled by Santa; and now that the New Year has come and we are writing 1917 instead of lDlti, we are off for the last lap of the school year. Of course to be in keeping with the time honored custom the Emerald should wish one and all a Happy Now Year even if it didn’t care a continental and it should likewise admonish all to mind their p’s and q’a this coming year, keep their resolutions, speak kindly to their l profs., study diligently and act with all the dignity of another twelve months ad ded to the burden of years. Which is all as foolish us this little story once told us: l’at's son hail taken to drinking a great deal and it began to worry the old gen tleman somewhat. One day he found Mike soused, sitting in front of the fireplace and hi- said to the young man, “Mike, me boy, you are drinking too much. When you grow up you won’t amount to any thing. Stop it. me hoy, stop it 1 tell ye.” “No, father," answered Mike, “l don't want to stop. It will make a man of me. 1 tell ye it will give me courage. Yes, courage, father, it will give me. Why, father, when I brought this bottle of gin home I spilled a puddle on the floor. And n<»w do ye see that hole there in the fireplace Well a little mouse came out of that as I sat here and he ran to the puddle and lapped up a bit. And then, begorra. be ran back into the hide. Thou he came out again uud he lapped up some more and again he went back into the bole. And I sat here quite a while when all at once he ran out of that hole again. And. father, he lapped up some more of that gin, and then started for the hole. But he turned around and came back again and lapped a little more. And, then, father, he came over in front of me and stood on his hind legs and shak ing his fist at me said, “Show me that d-d Maltese cut that was looking for mo this morning. I’ll get her.” The Emerald could expound, propound and compound all manner of new year resolutions for its readers. It could stand on its hind legs and shout as did the little mouse. Hut it would be suffering from a bloated gullibility. The New Year is here and the best thing to do if there is to be a new leaf turned over in the lives of any of us is to profit by the experience of the past. The semester is almost history and we have had good times and bad times. Everyone has had his troubles and fought his battles. Hut for Heaven’s sake don’t take courage like the little mouse. Don't get courage in a New Year resolution. Hut build today and work tomorrow from tile help gained by your experience of the past and the pain of yesterday. TOWN BOYS TO BE HELPED Campus and Eugene Y. M. C. A. to Co operate in Athletic Instruction. To develop an interest in athletics among school boys of the city and to give University men not only a chance to do good service, but to learn how to handle ■hoys, L. A. Pickett, boys’ work director of the Y. M. I’. A. and chairman of the boy’s work committee of the University Y. M. C’. A., is working on a plan to give each college man interested the oppor tunity of assisting in the directing of athletics in a Eugene school. The plan is to have basketball, swim ming, baseball, and outdoor meets in the different schools during the rest of this year and give each man a school for a season of one activity. Basketball lias already been started. The University high and the Y. M. P. A. gymnasiums have been given over for a- portion of Satur day to the public schools for indoor ath letics. According to Mr. Pickett, the public schools arc at present without instruc tors who can supervise athletics and they are without proper gymnasium facilities. He urges all men who are interested in the work to see Kd Shockley, physical in structor, J. I>. Foster, or himself. Mr. Pickett says that the college men have an opportunity to come into close touch with the boys and sufficient time to make a study of them. It has been the purpose1 this year to make the association a train ing school for University men. There art1 eleven students who already have charge of V. M. C. A. clubs. They are John Jaeb, T. Levitt, Homer Morn henweg, Elmer ltoyer, Tracy ltyers, Earle Powell, Raymond Kinney, James Mct’allum, Robert Wright, Joseph Boyd, Walter Hailey and Aldis Webb.

A dredging plant of its own is the cen tral figure in a plan now under con sideration by the board of regents of the University of Washington. The plan is the outcome of a campaign for the im provement of the new waterfront along the shores of Lake Washington adjoining the campus. When the water recedes, after the gov ernment canal between Lakes Union and Washington is opened, a vast, oozy, soft mud will separate the present embank ment from the new harbor line, and a shallow expanse of water along the shore line will hinder free use of the harbor. The woTk must be done in sections al lowing one fill to dry thoroughly before the next layer is added. UndeT this plan only enough mud would be scooped from the outer harbor to fill two or three feet at a time on the drained flats. This wet layer would then be allowed to dry thoroughly and form a solid floor for the next layer. The work is to ex tend over a period of five years. Such a plant, owned and operated by the University would cost approximately $10,000 according to the figures of Pro fessor C. W. Harris, of the engineering department. MORTON HAS BANKNG CLASS D. W.
