GREEN PAINT; “Guess they can’t holler about class spirit any more,” yelled a wag as he surveyed the senior bench early yesterday morning with its fresh coat of green. Verily, green paint seems to be the token of class spirit— which is all right. If any class senses any spirit in its midst, let it burst forth with a few daubs of the sacred green. 'Ad mitting, of course, that green paint is significant of class spirit. Everyone knows, however, that it really isn’t. What real ly proved that there was a little class spirit left in the old school was in the early afternoon when a few frosh were initi ated into an almost-new use for green dinks. That wfa’s class spirit. It would he stretching things a little far, however, to give any class spirit credit for slinging wet paint. The paint occurrence of yesterday came at a time when it was sorely needed. But there is no necessity for any more of it. A much better way is to have interclass competition—more class rivalry. Class meetings are being held more frequently, ajpl coming class elections will cause a little more spirit and unity among the members of each class. The paint incident need not be regretted. It was a well intended effort to revive class spirit. And class spirit needs reviving. The Emerald is not attempting to start any political talk, or to Create any false situation in relation to the coming stu dent elections. What is news is news, however, and when the campus starts discussing possible candidates, t]he Emerald ehnnot fall behind iind till claim to be presenting news when it is news. The time is here when students should begin to think about whom the leaders of the students should be next year., Nominations are but two weeks away. It, is not too early to start thinking. _• In many ways it is fortunate that the University will enter tain our mothers and dedicate the new Woman’s building at the same time. But in another it is almost unfortunate. While the mothers and those who helped make the Woman’s build ing possible are our guests at the same time, great care must be taken to slight neither group. We want to do all we can to make the visits of both enjoyable. I he last issue ol Uemon Punch contained a strongly-worded plea for a clean backyard for the University, calling attention to the view of the campus from the railroad track and thir teenth street. As is usually the case, those to whom the edi tbYial was addressed, paid little or no attention to the plea. Isn’t it encouraging, Leinmy? Of course, you plan on guests for Junior Week-end. But are you sure they are coming? Not many campi can boast a figure w,ho rates the front cover of the Saturday Evening Post. 8 GYM MAJORS DEPART ON OBSERVATION TRIP Salem and Portland Schools Visited; Multnomah Club and Y. W. C. A.

As long as the law of 'Massachusetts forbade sports on the Sabbath, the Uni versity could hardly have acted other wise than close its athletic equipment on the seventh day. All this has been changed with the legalizing last year of Sunday games. The University has rec ognized this change by keeping the squash courts open throughout the week, there being no particular reason for pre venting a student from exercising on Sunday simply because he chose to play squash, rather than indulge in a back lot baseball game. Nor can there be any good reason for preventing tennis players from using the courts at Jarvis Field on Sunday. Of all spring sports tennis claims the larg est following, too large, in fact, for the equipment, which is by no means nig gardly. The courts are so crowded dur ing the week, with so much necessary waiting in line, that some provision should be made to satisfy ns far as pos sible a demand that exceeds the supply. One step towards this result has al ready been taken by limiting the hold ing of courts to one hour. Of even greater service would be the opening of Jarvis Field to Sunday players. No doubt the athletic committee is willing to do its best for the tenuis enthusiasts, who are so numerous that any reason able request, from them demands a bear ing.—Harvard Crimson. *---—--—--* I The Campus Cynic | *--——-* MUSIC HATH CHARMS—MAYBE! To The .Editor: If noise is any indi cation of talent, we’ve got a couple of op era houses full of geniuses audibly bud ding in the Music building. 1 use the term noise in a general sense. However, mu sicians break the plain hulk noise into its component squeaks, wobbles, rasps, and gurgles, camouflaging each with some euphonic appelation, thus leadiug us to believe that such squeaks and gurgles are greatly ot be aplauded. Thus, if a singer gets a lung full of air and doesn't know what to do with it. he opens his mouth widely and lets it out with a whoop, like most any old plug would do— in musical parlance that’s "a full round note.” It is round, no mistake: It goes ’round the "block and comes back on the gallop. If a singer gets a frog in his or her throat and the sound comes out in small, frazxled pieces, sounding like some bo vine who had parked a spear of timothy" in the wrong compartment—that’s “won 1 derful emotional interpretation.” Which is undoubtdly true, if it’s the emotions of the bovine being interpreted. If a singer comes on the stage with too much cough syrup in his system and gets the hiccoughs while yodeling his lay and the notes come out in fluty-hie-hunks of sound that wander all over the lot—those ■are ‘‘arpeggio notes” or “trills,” or some thing like that. And if a singer waves his hands, shakes his head,, gnashes his eye lids and stamps his teeth to keep from looking awkward (which he would look if ho stood still and let the audience survey lnrr. ensemble —that, my fr>erid, .s • his trionic ability” or “operatic acting of tell ing effect.” Oh, she’s a great dodge, this profession of .iuggling, distintegrnting sound from its original bulk and reas sembling it into small fifty cent packages. And they tell ns that “popular music” isn’t art.’ Don’t believe it. They’re afrail that if they sang something written in less than six flats and a couple of room ing houses we might catch on to the fact that everytime they miss a flock of notes tliey go into a nose dive, flatten out, soar and take another fling at the same set of vocal convulsions. And as long as they miss they can repeat the pro cess—if they have a “trained pianist.” In “popular music” there isn’t anything to do hut make a dash for the next gob of written sound and catch it desperately by the tail—which makes an awkward hiatus. Poor commerce students across the way! “Six thous’n’ two hunner’n thir- six fr’m debit t’ credit,” he whispers inten sively. Do-o-o-o,” shrieks the lady from the opposite building, who will ultimately agi tate thousands in the operatic world; she’s only agitating a few hundred now. “Sev’n thous’n’ four hunner’n fi’— credit t’ debit-” “Do-o-o-o-o.” “Gosh darn and a couple of hecks,” mutters the student. “Tour do and my dough is going to get tangled up here shortly.” E. J. H. ★—.-- — —* ! Communications I *-—-----* To The Editor: “What do you think about it?” someone asked me after read ing the statement of President Eliot, of Harvard, in regard to the manners of the average collegian. In answer—let me agree with the president. It is really a fact that the average American collegian—man or woman—is found wanting in the school of real man ners. I do not believe that President Eliot is an exponent of the Chesterfield sehool of stinted grace. He is probably viewing the question merely from the viewpoint of the cultured man. His opinion, however, goes to prove that de spite many contentions, the west is no worse than the east. This, however, does not excuse the westerner. "Who is to blame? Surely it is unfair to lay it all at the feet of either sex— for mere toleration is one farm of ac ceptance. It does behoove the students to be more careful. One thing which college should stand for is culture—cul ture that extends beyond fncre book learning and becomes a lesson in actual life, and in every-day practice. The students should take the opinion of President Eliot to heart and attempt to mend their ways. This does not im ply returning to the old school of frills and laces—but merely sane observance of the ordinary rules of decency and conduct which are so often, violated—not through a preconceived desire to scorn conventionality, but from carelessness— and what is worse—from ignorance. —ONE OF THE OFFENDERS.
