Stetson, of the depart ment of education, returned Monday from an eleven hundred mile trip through eastern Oregon, where lie spoke at the joint teachers institute for Wallowa and I'nion counties, held at Enterprise, and the linker county institute, held at rtakcr. Professor Stetson reports tlini * the institutes were well attended and the teachers manifested very good profes sional spirit. He says lie finds on his trips "over the state that the former stu dents and alumni are much interested in affairs on the campus; they want to know all about the new members of the facility, the new buildings, and all ac tivities. He feels that the University has the staunch support of all former stu dents. At both of these institutes, the Oregon graduates met for luncheon. The Baker group selected Walter Kenuon, of the class of 1020, as chairman of a commit tee to perfect arrangements for the or-, ganizatlon of an alumni association.

The Campus Cynic i *-;--------4 To the Emerald:—It is revealed to me, from watching the many, runny students who daily bathe their faces in the bub ble fountain in front of our esteemed library, that there is a deplorable lack of knowledge as to the proper method j of (piaffing at this instrument of aeuae- j ous salubrity. Coming from a city where j Iron Michaels abound and where even] toddling, lisping children know how to j caress this divine instrument of ‘whistle-1 wetting,’ even though they have to chin | themselves to reach the glorious liquid— coming from such a metropolis, I proud ly repent, it pains me greatly to see so much muffing of the bubble going on. First of all, every one should stop and drink at the fountain as they pass by. whether they are thirsty or not. It is a sign of ill breading to pass a faithful Mike by without bestowing upon it oscillatory attention. Its only purpose in life is to diffuse water from one con tainer into several containers, and" un less you do vonr full share in keeping your container full it fails of this func tion and you display bad taste. The exact procedure is as follow’s: For Males: Rush up to the Mike with a loud, affectionate Ruzzali! Stop sud: denly and assume position of attention Hands on hips, place. Half bend, down. Bend with sufficient force 4o bring enamel of teeth in audible contact with bronze. This, is ^recommended as an excellent test of the germ resisting quality of your enamel. Now pucker your lips into a rectangle or a parel lelopiped. Place this aperture over the spurting water and start closing in on it, slowly and deliberately strangle it. When you have a portion of water thus hermetically sealed in your mouth do as you see fit with it. Swallowing is urged, and in any manner you see fit to swal low, although a delightful way of doing it is to imitate the horse. Continue tluis ]y until you—’-to use a vulgar term •— “bust.” Take the last mouthful, rise to an erect position and start gurgling at the same time essaying some high pitch ed Swiss yodle song. For Females: Same ns above, omit ting the Swiss yodle. E. ,T. H. “STUDY ALOUD,” ADVICE Miss Watson Tells Class How. Frosh Afraid to Try it in Library. “Study aloud,” said Miss Watson, pro fessor of English literature. It was in a flass of English outlines that Miss Watson was advising the best methods of studying special . assign ments she had just made. She had said shortly before making this remark that she would put the specified books on re serve at the library, emphasizing the fact that they were not to be taken out of the library. • One girl, either an unwise Frosh or a wise un-Frosh, meekly askel, “Miss Wat ,son. how can we study aloud if we must study in the library and we are not allowed to speak above a whisper in that place?” Miss Watson had not thought of this, so contented herself wJtn a suggestion to study aloild whenever it was possible. Jimmy Price Is Doing Local Reform Work in Y. M. ‘GANG’ ALWAYS FOR HIM Leader Expects Everyone to Be His Assistant. -Many students know Jimmy Price, the Student Secretary at the “Y” tmt, but very few know that James II. Price, “the boy pastor of Seattle.” and our Jimmy Price are one and the same person. " -Mr. Price knows personally over oijp thousand newsboys in the city of Seat tle. lie has dedicated his life to boys work, and he came to the University of Oregon “to learn how” as he told his “gang” when he left. He is taking a special course in sociology here. His am bition is to become the greatest hoys’ ’fader in America. Jimmy lias many interesting stories to re il of the street waifs of Seattle. One of them suffices to snow Jimmy’s method: He challenged “Al” Pearl, the 16 year old leader of the “Kinkrat. Gang” to bring two boys to Sunday school. Next Sun day, “Al” appeared with ten boys instead of two, most of them throwing away their cigarettes n% they entered the church door'. The following Sunday M? Price’s class had grown- to twenty, and before a month had elapsed, it comprised seventy-five boys. 600 Boys In Class. Before Mr. Price leff~Scattle. he had over 600 boys registered in his Sunday school. Last summer Mr. Price took forty three of tin* famous Whitney boys chorus of Seattle on an anti-cigarette crusade from Canada to Mexico. The boys ranged from nine .to seventeen years of age. They were enthusiastically received in all the main cities of the coast. Mr. Price’s influence over boys os al most uncanny. He doesn’t win their trust and loyalty by preaching to them, but by being their friend. He finds jobs for them, and helps them in many ways. Beaver Club Organizing. Here in Eugene, Jimmy is back at his old tricks. He has organized the rapidly growing “Beaver Club” at the Congre gational church. Regarding his work here ,hc says: “Each boy in Eugene who does not belong to some Sunday school is a member of my ‘gang,’ only he hasn’t been initiated yet; and each college fel low who isn’t already, mung some kind of church work, is my assistant, only he doesn’t know it yet.” ROOTERS MUST YELL MORE, SAYS KEENEY Latest Practice Shows Improvement; More New Chefers Promised. ; _ More yelling on the part of the rooters, and ineidently more rooters, are the two things which, in the opinion of the var sity yell staff, are'lfieeessary to make the rooting a success for the big rally Fri day evening.
