LEST WE FORGET
=n F every professor in trie
University would give
an examination to the
studI'tits in their respec
^ tive classes asking noth
D ing but logical, matter
of fact questions con
^ cerning the millage tax
recently passed by tne suite legisla
ture it is highly probable that about
1500 students would receive a dismal
“F” on their papers. And yet this
millnge tax is one of the most im
portant, if not the most important,
measures that has ever been present
ed for the development and future
progress of the University.
In the hurry and scurry of every
day school life and the whirl of so
cial functions students everywhere
on the campus show a marked tend
ency to forget the larger things that
are before us. Right now it is a fact
that, but a small percentage of «ihe
students remember that there was a
millage tax passed and a smaller yet
percentage are really devoting any
thought to the work which they must
do in order to get the millage tax
passed by the people next May.
In the light of the great import
ance of this measure such a condi
tion is to be regretted. We should
now shake oil' this lethargy and
awake to the great opportunity that
is before us. University authorities
are now making extensive plans for
publicity on the measure and steps
for its acceptance by the people. In
another month every student in the
University is going to be called up
on to give his undivided support
and effort towards tht- movement.
We must now become enthused over
it. l.earn what it is all about. Ac
quaint ourselves with its various ele
ments so that we can be of worth
in the campaign to make it pass the
people.
li t!u> measure is passed Dy me
people a new two or three hundred
thousand dollar library, auditorium,
pynmasium, or class room building
will be started on the campus next
summer. The following: year will
see another like building started, lie
fore many years our intensely crowd
ed condition will be alleviated and
our University will be better equip
ed to serve us and the hundreds that
are denied higher education now be
cause of a lack of accommodations
in every way.
When you think of everything you
desire about the University think of
it as being attainable after the mill
age tax is passed and speak of it in
these terms. Cultivate the habit of
saying we will have this or that
“when the millage tax is passed.’
Soon the campus will be doing it
and soon the students will come to
the realization of the real importance
of the measure and will be ready to
do anything in their power to get
the measure before the people of
the state in the right way.
P. c. CROCKATT TELLS OF WORK
IN YAKIMA OFFICE
National Agency Believed Best to
Handle Problems of Social
U n rest
j Reestablishment of the United
| States Employment Bureau as a help
i to the solution of the radical labor
i problems was urged at a meeting of
5 social Science Club Tuesday evening
last week by Peter C. Crockatt, pro
fessor of economics in the Univer
sity, who read a paper on the subject.
Professor Crockatt has made an ex
tensive study' of labor conditions
throughout the country and was con
nected with the federal employment
service at Camp Lewis in the summer
of 1918. Last summer he made a
study of the labor conditions through
the office of the United States Em
; ployment Bureau in Yakima, Wash
inton, the second largest bureau in
the state, placing an average of 700
men a week in jobs. .Yakima was
also the northwest headquarters for
the I. W. W.s and Professor Crockatt
was enabled to study the two organi
zations in their relation to each other.
“People, the country over, ought to
have the facts on the day-to-day
workings of the typical employment
office,” Professor Crockatt said in
his address. “Observations too fre
quently have been written from the
viewpoint of men and women within
the United States Employment Serv
ice, or from the angle of those who
may have been hurt or hindered by
its work. Statistics of applications
for work, jobs filled, and jobs open do
not tell the story the American peo
ple are interested in at this time, for
the essential part of any public em
ployment service is the character of
the work accomplished in handling
day-to-day problems in the labor
; market.”
in tne opinion oi tne average
citizen, an unfortunate step is being
taken in the tackling of the labor
problem by the discontinuance of a
federal employment service. They are
realizing that unemployment and con
sequent labor unrest are national
problems to be handled in a national
manner. No agency is in a better
position to estimate justly and give
the information of the character of
the labor supply and of individual
laborers as tested by the most crucial
test of all—the attitude toward work. ’
Notice
There will be a meeting of the
women’s educational club on Friday,
February G, at 4:15, in room I in
the Oregon building. All those pres
ent at previous meetings are request
oil to come.

Sprig Hath Cub
Oh Cub, Oh Cub
Along With Me
It was an “awful nice” day—
One of those days, such as we
had last week, when the balmy
air and soothing sunshine make
®the old feel young and the young
climb trees.
Two of them made up tlje party
—a senior man and a sophomore
woman. The joy of the perfect
day was throbbing and surging
through their veins. In spring a
young man’s fancy turns to the
mill race, and here is where the
little drama was enacted.
This combination of humanity
just felt too spry for anything
and on the grassy meadow across
the mill race and almost immedi
ately behind the Commerce and
Architectural buildings, they frol
icked and gamboled. They play
ed tag, and ring around the rosy,
hide-and-seek and other games.
I They revelled in the glory of their
secluded spot and the call of the
perfect day in spring time.
How long they gamboled about
they do not remember. It seem
ed but a minute but in reality it
was over 15 minutes that some
student could control his mirth no
longer and let a long “Oh! Hum”
emanate from his mouth.
The frolickers stopped their
frolicking. Their gaze shifted
from the confines of their pleas
ure grounds—across the race, the
railroad track and the interven
ing distance and then—the win
dows of the commerce building
and the architecture building
packed with amused students, met
their gaze.
Yes, it was a nice day but the
blamed foliage hasn’t put ni its
appearance on the trees and bush
es which line the mill race yet.
“The program of music visualiza
tion given by the Ruth St. Denis
concert dancers recently at the Egan
Little Theatre was one of the most
artistic terpsichorean offerings of the
season. The program with its rich
ness of variety had a more interest
ing tinge in many respects than the
recent offerings of the Duncan danc
ers.
“Months of careful study and ef
fort were shown in the highly ar
tistic work offered by the students
and great credit is due Miss St.
Denis, whose richness of professional
technique and experience made the
visualization possible

of music mools of the represented
composers, and the ensemble work

“Ellis Rhodes, well known tenor
who will tour with the dancers, sang
a group of songs with keen dramatic
sense, good taste and musical dis
crimination. The taxing work of ac
companying dancers and singer was
most efficiently accomplished by Paul
ine Lawrence.’’
Eugene, out side of Portland, is
to be only city in which Miss St.
Denis will appear, personally, with
her dancers. (Adv.)

I New features
They make our showing of
suits and overcoats one j>f
the most remarkable you
ever saw. Double-breasted
models, vastly different
from the dumpy types of a
1 few seasons ago, are pop
ular for the young men.
Soft construction, the way
the finest custom tailors do
it, is a new feature in the
suits for men of affairs.
Not only style but real
economy mark these new
types made especially for
us by

Overcoats are here, too—
