Four years ago n student never thought of tramping across the lawns. Two years later a few found they could save n minute or two by shooting ns the crow flies from architectural hall to the library. Today damage has been done the campus, so the superintendent of the grounds snys, that will tnke years to overcome. This damage to the campus is not so noticeable now with the winter rains hiding the shame. But when the spring comes and we expect to see the lawns resume their velvety loveliness then we will be disappointed and wish as did I’nt. “Mike,” said Pat, “I wish 1 knew where I was going to die?” "For why?" answered Mike. "I wouldn't go there,” said Pat. u— .. . .. THE NEW SEMESTER. This week we are reading the preface of a new semester. Its pages are days; its chapters are weeks; it is a volume divided into four parts, each of which is a month. No man is permitted to re-read this book. There is no chance for review if you fail to grasp and study it carefully. It is the kind of n textbook upon which manhood and maturity is built. Skip by no pages. Bead all chapters with a varying viewpoint and firm de liberation that your insight may be vitnl and may furnish you with the ma terial of which the future Is raised. The hook is one of study, pleasure, JS I Patronize Home Industry And use Butter Manu factured by The Lane County Creamery Always Fresh and Sanitary Phone 117 -48 Park St. work and sport. It is a hook of life, for it is a period of time. It is vari-phased and multi-sided. As you turn the pages they are destroyed forever, but if you read wisely their influence enn he eternal. You may read into them one interpre tation or another. You may find in them many different meanings, contradictory, even. Above all, however, do not waste the book, it is one of the most precious volumes in the library of your life. In keeping with the standard size of college papers tile Daily Californian of the l niversify of California lias chang ed from its postage stamp edition to a six column quarto. It should be an agree able change to the California students. The Drake Delphic converts the Em erald question of “Why Think?” into "Do. College Men Make. Good?” That in not fair for to this latter question the answer is inevitably “Yes." For the 2(5 presidents of the Foiled States 17 were graduates and 1!) of the 27 vice-presidents and so on down the list of nation lead ers till we find that over (50 per cent of the smaller offices of the nation are held by men who were trained within the. en virons of a college campus. Hut the question still remains, did they think when they were in college, or did they begin thinking after they were out into the practical life and used their theoreti cal knowledge and college training to solve and win?

The Literary Digest is read by 55 hoys and 4S girls, a total of lO.’l; while the Saturday livening l’ost comes second, read by 44 girls and til boys; Collier's with 21 girls and 2 4 boys regularly reading it, stands next, followed, in order, by the Independ ent. the Outlook, and Life. The Literary Digest, which heads the list, is requir'd reading: the others are read entirely on the students' own volition. The Saturday Evening Post leads as the favorite weekly among the first year students. It is read regularly by 54 girls and 37 boys of the freshman class. Next in order of popularity comes the Liter ary Digest, with a total of 53 first year students, the Independent, Leslie’s, Life and the Outlook follow, in the order named.

The i American is a close second, with a total of 28 who rank it first in their hearts. A high place in the list is given the Re view of Reviews by 11 boys, whose fav orite monthly it is, while Popular Me chanics claims the loyalty of 10 fresh men boys. Neither of these publications was named by any of the freshmen girls as a favorite. The young women, how ever, rallied forth to the support of Good Housekeeping, six of them preferring it to any other monthly publication, while it has no worshipers among the boys.
