University students nre so generally stigmatized by the statement that they don’t think,they can’t think and never will think until they have to, that public opin ion has gradually, by a mere process of psychology, been built up to believe that a student in college or in the Uni versity doesn't amount to very much. Fortunately this opinion isn't so univer sal that it makes a deep hurt, yet it Is like the last fly of summer. It keeps buzzing and buzzing and pestering, al ways just out of reach until you finally settle down with the prayer that winter will soon come and kill the b'amed thing off. The value of higher education is too fully recognized to incur, that public opin ion will ever be directed against univer sities and colleges, lint while in school u student seems to be sort of tolerated until he gets out and then all the thorns that can be found are thrust in his path and he is asked to walk upon them and keep from sticking his feet. If he can smile and be a Mercury all is well. This attitude of the public the Miner al d has always resented. That resent ment probably has bee . inherent. Hut when the Emerald began to look around for some evidence to refute the state ment that a student doesn’t think well the Emerald had to scratch H head. Hut of a sudden a great bonding issue came up on the campus. Here, said the Emerald, will show whether the students think. The days pa .sod. There seemed to tie no opposition to the proposition and there seemed to b- no stir of any kind. Here was an issue that affected 1KJ0 students out of the H.’IO in the stud ent body. How many of them realized it? How many were concerned about it? How many would show their inter est and vote For it uts well-known that no matter whether there was no oppo sition or not tlie larger th ■ vote on at would mean the more credit to the student body in selling the bonds. The day of election ri.no. The clerks and judges sat at the tables and twad dled their thumbs. When the votes were counted th, count stood IS l for and J t against! Out of !K!0 students HUS had voted! That was a punch that staggered the Emerald and we began to think that af ter all students do not think and their learning is a mere rote. Hut out of the dull elouds like a message from Heaven came the inspiration why should they think? What is the stimulus for it? As long as they are provided for and re ceive the allowance from home and can enjoy comforts and luxuries what is there to make them grapple with prob lem*? If in the fo ir year* of school life they absorb enough by rote learning to form the foundation on which to build when in the business world is i ot that enough? Arc they to Ida me after nil if they do not think think and pon der as mature men and women think? Ah, that was a fine banquet served the boys of the football armor last Dr. E. L. Zimmerman Suite 200, White Temple Office Phone 019 Res. 1082 night by the Eugene chamber of com merce. VVe know because the savory odor flitted all over Eugene, and then we saw the boys licking their chops and heard Brother Mo xevitt say, “Those boys are going to get something to eat, believe me.” A wise old owl, he sat in an onk. The more he heard the less lie spoke. The less he spoke the more he heard. Wise old owl, but why can’t we lie more like that old bird. -Eugene Guard foreman. I 'SCHOOL OF ARCHITEC- j TURE NOTES. »----* Tile Oregon Architectural society had charge of the artists conference which was recently held in Portland. The dis cussion centered around the exhibition of art pictures in Portland schools. Ellis F. Lawrence, dean of the school of architecture, \Vas again elected chairman of this section. The Architectural society will give a banquet Wednesday evening at which there will be two visiting architects from Portland who are coming down to judge the work of the architectural class here. The school of architecture has re ceived a donation from Mr. Buckler, owner of Twin Butte quarry, near Brownsville, of a large stone weighing over half a ton, which is to be used for demonstration purposes. Mr. Bosch is going 'o have his class in modeling ex periment on it. The stone closely re sembles Cacti Stone (f which the an cient cathedrals of Europe were built. The Architectural society is expect ing a visit from Mr. C. 11. Whittaker, who is editor of the Journal of the American Institute of Architecture. This magazine is roeogn zed as one > f the foremost art periodicals printed. There will be a banquet given in his honor. lir CO-EBSiimSTO MEET OJ. C. SOON Diving Team a Possibility; Men May Be Allowed to Watch the Contest. Events Not Yet Decided; Pro gram to Be Arranged in Few Days. Early March will see the U. of O. and (). A. C. co-ed swimming squads lined up against each other in the men’s gymnasium here, if plans now being completed by Miss Harriet Thomson, Miss Hazel Rader and Mr. Ed Shock ley go through. There may be a swimming team for all events, and again, there may be sin gle entries and a diving team. The Agricultural college girls will probably help decide how many contestants will be entered, and in what manner. But diving has been promised, for there are a lot of star divers ruffling the waters of tiie swimming tank each Tuesday and Thursday. Marie Bench, Genevieve Keller, Marian Coffeey, Helen Wells and Jeannette Moss are shining steadily, and .Miss Thomson says there are at least fifteen others. In a few days the program will be ready to send to O. A. C. for approval. It is believed that men will be ad mitted to the meet. It is the aim of the women’s physical training department to see the spirit and co-operation of the Oregon student body get behind this meet and make it a good one. OH.

Scaiefe Physician and Surgeon 217 White Temple Phones: Ofc. 3; Res. 1156 It would appear that they are good at statistics even as far south as Oklahoma. Mr. J. H. Craven, landscape gardener of the University of Oklahoma, last week set to work with a fund of patience and an automatic calculator, with the result that after some small mental exercise working theory: These are three hundred he has given to the world the following thousand leaves on each tre£; the leaves are beiinqing to fall to such an extent that it is safe to assume that there are at lenst three billion of them blowing about on the campus; if forty men were set to work to gather the leaves at a rate of one each per second, it would take one thousand hours each to finish the job. Therefore, is his conclusion from the premises, if the leaves were stack ed one on top of the other, the pile would be over five thousand n.iles in length. Charles Taft, son of former President Taft, is playing regular center on the l'ale eleven.
