Tills year Professor Ilex Underwood is directing one of the best orches tras that has represented the Univer sity in years. The members have" been practising faithfully two nights a week since early in the fall term. They get nothing for their work, bar ring a diminutive fraction of music credit, but nevertheless they are will ing to entertain the students and vis itors of tlio University when called upon. Muny friends of the University can not sluire with the students their in terest in athletic contests, but they do get a great deal of pleasure from good music. We are not so selllsh in our pleasures that we promote them for ourselves alone. All of us realize how much a good orchestra means to us, and we are proud of it when it wins appreciation from others. Wo have a very good orchestra and can have a still better one if we stand behind it with the encourage ment which it deserves. Let’s go to the next concert and encourage our orchestra, which is u true University activity. Cadets in the R. 0. T. C. who do not shine in shooting targets with a gun have been given an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to shoot baskets in the company basketball games. Rumor has it that the knights of the billiard cue are con fidently awaiting their turn to show their ability as “good shots”. An "Ugly Duckling’’ society has been organized at the University of Pennsylvania. Its purpose is to de velop the welfare of youths lacking in manly pulchritude. Unless some thing sudden happens there is going to be an “Obak and Iowa” society organized at Oregon to promote the welfare of youths during leap year dances. It's up to the girls. Some of the visitors at open house remarked that the University was certainly in a bad way. Wonder what they would have remarked had they the pleasure of viewing the benches in room 112 of the library three times a week and the growth of the women’s building every day. What is more disappointing to a thirsty dancer than to ingeniously manage to wind up a dance in front of the refreshment stand only to find that his partner does not care for anything. If the voters will not give up their ten cent cigar per week we can see Oregon’s hopes going up in smoke. Light refreshments at the Anchor age. STUDENTS MUST TAKE ME IIIEREST III him ttunuti Necessary to Solicit Help of Others, Says Don Newbury Chairman I Unless the students of the Univer | sity take an active interest in the campaign for the passage of the mill age hill at the next election, the chance of interesting others less dir ectly affected in the financial- support which Oregon needs will be rather small. This is the way Don Newbury, chairman of the student committee which is co-operating with the fac ulty committee in the campaign, char acterized the need for the students’ taking an active part in showing the people of the state the tremendous need for the increasing of the reve nue for the higher institutions throughout Oregon. At the May election a bill will be presented to the people providing for a tax of 1.26 mills to support the University of Oregon, Oregon Agricul tural college and the Oregon Normal schools. Because of numerous other bills to be voted on, which call for an increase in taxation, the University will have to make a strong fight to gain the support which is its due. “We have to show the people, not only that it will benefit the school, but that it will indirectly benefit them,” said Newbury. “It is imper ative that every one of the 1700 stu dents on the campus make the best use of the campaign literature which is being furnished by the school. Sent to the students’ homes throughout the state, this literature will aid great ly in bringing public sentiment to accord with this movement. “If the students will enlist the sup port of their homes and friends they will be aiding their alma mater in one of the greatest crises which it has ever faced.” The spirit evidenced by the stu dents on Wednesday when they turn ed out to the special assembly was | gratifying, said Newbury, and should be kept up. The visitors from Eu gene were nearly all representatives of various civic organizations. This city is behind the University, but it remains for tho students to extend the message and enlist the support of the voters over the entire state. Don’t forget the new Anchorage tea house. C.
