MOTHER’S DAY
CUSTOM which we could
well start and establish
at Oregon would be that
of having a Mother’s
Day, for mothers of all
University students At
this time it would be the
plan to invite all of our
mothers to Eugene for a week-ena ana
to provide means for their entertain
ment during the visit here. The oc
casion should be held in the spring
and at a time when some special stu
dent function has been planned. A
dramatic production, special vesper
services, and glee club concerts could
well be a part of the program.
Many of our mothers have never
visited the University and beyond a
doubt they would enjoy such a visit
especially at a time when the entire
University would be playing hosts to
them. Such a visit would also be an
aid to us in launching a drive for the
passage of the millag© tax in May.
NO LEMON PUNCH TODAY
At a recent meeting of the Em
erald and Lemon Punch stalfs it was
decided to discontinue the Lemon
Punch as a weekly feature of the
Emerald. It will be continued from
now on as a monthly feature and will
be enlarged and contain more features.
The chief reason for the change is
the heavy printing cost which the
Emerald is now struggling under
which makes a continuance of the
Punch as a weekly addition unfeas
ible from a financial standpoint- Ex
tensive plans are also being made to
launch a monthly humorous magazine
in the near future.

Lieut A. W. Jones of Camp Lewis

high in his praise of Oregon stand

The visitor had a year's service ov
erseas as a member of the American j

’Twas plain to see he was enraged,
Even as You and I.
Now she’s engaged to some other
