“KEEP OFF THE GRASS”
Lest we forget we have the prettiest
campus this side of the Garden of Eden,
let us guard well our footsteps ns we
pass from building to building. 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.

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,

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.

college papers tile Daily Californian of

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?

SHOCKLEY TO BACK WOMEN
Ed. Shockley, instructor in physical
education for men, lias promised his
services to the girls trying out for the
swimming meet with (>. A. t\ to he held

cording to Miss Mabel Louise Cummings,
head of girls’ physical education.
The women of the Eniversity have
not responded to the demand for expert
swimmers in proportion to the number of
students who are proficient in swimming
and diving- 'Phis could ho mvounted for :
in the busy month between Christmas
and examinations but is now. Miss Cum

wishing to take part in the meet and
receive the benefit of Mr. Schoekley’s in

SUGGESTIONS.
First. There should be an itemized receipt, in dupli
cate, made out by the Graduate Manager for all money re
ceived by him. Same to be checked against the receipts of
the Treasurer. (At the present time there is no check
whatever on any of the receipts).
SECOND. Vouchers should not be paid unless sign
ed as provided by the Constitution of the Associated Stud
ent Body. (Art. 3, Sec. 3, Clause, 2.—The President and
two members of the Executive Committee shall approve of
all bills and shall sign all warrants for the disbursements
of the student body funds). Under the present system the
vouchers are paid when signed by the Graduate Manager.
Third. All vouchers should be paid by check. (At
present, when some are paid by cash and some by check,
it is impossible to have a check of vouchers against checks).
Fourth. No money should be paid without proper
voucher.
Fifth. The Comptroller of Currency of the University
should be the Graduate Treasurer of the Student Body. (At
present he is merely custodian of the student funds and en
tirely at the mercy of the Graduate Manager). '

Committees Are Endeavoring to
Make Event Historically
Exact in Detail.
Posters and Letter Stickers Are
Planned as Part of
Advertising.
Threee tenuis of oxen have beeu en
gaged to appear in the Oregon Pageant
to be presented in Jure, and Professor
A. F. Iteddie, its diractor, has announced
the arrangement of other details.
Posters are to lie made by the depart
ment of the school of architecture to ad
vertise the production. The design will
be reduced in size to fit a stamp or
sticker to be placed on letters sent away
by students. The pattern has not yet
been completed.
Professor Keddie expects to make ar
rangements for a decorated auto parade
to precede the outdoor play. Towns
people and many from Portland are ex
pected to enter. For this reason it
is hoped that many will arrange to make
the trip here in autos.
Men and Women Read Many
Magazines.
Saturday Evening Post Is Fa
vorite Weekly Among First
Year Students.
Only seven freshmen in the 1'uiver- |
sit.v of Oregon out of 215 reporting, do
not read regularly at least one daily
newspaper, according to figures recent
ly summarized by ,vl. 11. Douglass, li
brarian, of the University.
In the matter of publications. 41 of
the 215 read none with regularity. 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.
One boy frankly admitted the Ladies’
Home Journal is his favorite monthly
publication, while 33 girls place the
monthly in the lead in popularity. 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.
