OUR ORCHESTRA
The University orchestra is one of
those student activities which we let
drift, ulong without praise or appre
ciation until some day us at com
mencement. or on accasion of a spe
cial assembly we suddenly remember
wo have an orchestra and call upon
it to assist in our entertainment.
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.

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.
