THETA SIGMA PHI.
Theta Sigma Phi is a professional fraternity. Its aim as
a national organization is to encourage the highest standards
in journalism, to improve the working conditions for women of
the profession and to inspire the individual to greater effort.
Theta Chapter here at Oregon also has another definite
aim. The membership roll is small in order that a high stand
of scholarship man be maintained, and in order that a compact
working body may be had. But Theta Sigma Phi fellowship
and a Spirit of mutual helpfulness is the ideal toward which the
members work. To encourage a fraternal feeling among all
women of the profession of journalism is their desire.
The professional aim of Theta Sigma Phi is to benefit ev
ery woman in journalism. The Woman’s National Journal
istic Register, established by Theta Sigma Phi, is open to any
woman wiho catisfy the professional requirements to enable
her to enroll. The high standards which the fraternity seeks
to maintain, and the bettering of working conditons for women
affects the whole body of women who do newspaper or other
journalistic work.
WELCOME TO OUR HALLS.
To you, visiting high school editors, we extend a hearty
greeting. We are especially pleased to meet you and become
personally acquainted, and hope that all of you will return
to the University of Oregon next year as students.
We are proud of the many high school papers throughout
the state, and of the ability shown by their editors and staffs.
We hope these promising students will one day be working
with us on the University publications.
The School of Journalism is at your service. We hope
you will make “The Shack” headquarters while here. Every
student in the department will be glad to show you about and
inake you feel at home.
AN APPRECIATION.
The fact that Oregon now boasts a daily newspaper, and
can take her place as an equal in this respect with the other
large universities, is 'diie not only to the enterprise of the stu
dents and the unfailing co-operation of the faculty, but also
to a fine, solid array of friends of the University who back
up their interest with cold cash. We wish to introduce you to
our ADVERTISERS. They stand in the same relation to the
Emerald that “Dad” does to the freshman—they foot the bills.
You, our guests on the campus, will be glad to meet through
our'columns the men who enable you to get daily news of the
University. And especially you high school students, who
next year will be college students, will find it worth while to
get acquainted with these triends of ours who support our
activities so splendidly, tor next year they will be your friends
also.
SONG OF THE RAIN, IN THREE SHOWERS.
By A YOUNG MAN.
Shower One.
I sing a song of the rain,
Lot others sing of sunny skies nnrl clear nights,
For me to see the drenched feline cross the road in bliss.
The lowing of the discontented bovine is ecstasy.
Shower Two.
< t, who ol us could tolerate .'{(15 days of short skirts?
Who would change for aye his red flannels for white?
Bo, when today's b.v.d.’s wear out
We shull be glad wet winter has come.
We shall not have to buy new ones.
Me think gratefully of last winter’s “gaiters"
Packed in mothballs.
Shower Three.
It payeth all uien to be philosophers.
The fragrant bloom begets hay fever.
Better u fall on the icy pavement than
An upturned canoe and an irate beloved,
Though tbo sun shine ever so brightly.
I sing a song of the rain.
—F. L. B.
JOURNALIST’S DIRGE.
(Lines written by a young man in agony, seated by a window in the Journal
ism annex.)
A typist reels her lines throughout the day;
Above that steady and monotonous clock.
There breaks a shriek from far across the way,
Not uncontrolled, but steadied by the tick
(>f some piano clock, or teacher's rod.
(1 wish them all deep buried 'neath the sod.)
A cackling hen, not rightfully discrete
lu deference to music, shows an egg,
While aggravated lmrks float down the street.
Made by some shaggy puppy, mostly leg.
This concentration, believe me, is unite hard.
Journalism be hanged. I’m going to be a bard!
—P. W.
Social and Class Rooms Open
Days and! Evenings.
TOWNSWOMEN USE POOL
Playground Provided Satur
day for School Children.
From early morning until late at night,
the Woman’s building is almost constantly
used by the University students. That
building, so recently dedicated to the
health work and social life, has already
established itself and is filling a long-felt
need on the Oregon campus. The social
end club rooms of the east wing, the
gymnasium, and the swimming pool have
become quite popular, not with the stu
dents alone, but with the townspeople as
well.
Thus far, the sun parlor has proved
the most popular of the social rooms.
Already the wicker furniture—settees
small -tables and chairs, have been the
scene of teas, breakfasts and smaller
evening entertainments and many more
are scheduled to be held later in the
term.
In the east wing is the Memorial hall,
i finished and furnished to represent olden
days in Merrie England. The furniture
is of dark oak, the fireplace of stone
with dark blue hangings, and rugs of
dark borwn. The room is open for mauj
of the more formal social gatherings.
Clubs, committees and (other small
groups find the club room on the third
floor r. delightful meeting place. The
room is cozy, with its cheery fireplace
.large davenport and comfortable chairs.
Another social room for students’ use
is found on the third floor. The rooms in
the east, wing are always open. Arrange
ments can be made with the housekeeper
for their use on special occasions, and
the students have already availed thew
selvcrs of this privilege.
One student body dance has been held
in the large gymnasium, which, when
combined with the smaller dancing room
1 by means of folding doors, 'is large
c/.ough to accommodate the crowds that
attend these popular affairs. Smaller
groups close the doors, and find the
dancing room spacious and attractive for
their social affairs.
The social rooms, however, are not the
only part of the building that is in use
at almost every hour of the day. The
large gymnasium is used for night class
es, as well as for dances. Under the di
rection of two seniors in the department
of physical education, a number of Eu
gene women attend a special class in
vhys:oal training one night each week
This room and the outdoor gymnasium
are opened for class and house athletic
teams desiring to practice at night.
Saturday morning, the building is al
most entirely overrun with little children
The members of the class in playground
supervision got practical experience from
directing the play of these little tots.
Swimming, gymnastics, apparatus work
hall games, story telling, and folk danc
lug contribute their share to the happi
ness of about 200 children every Sat
urday.
Tse swimming pool is used one evening
each week for the “faculty swim” and
another for the class of Eugene women
The pool is used three afternoons eaeli
week for classes, but at other times is
open for voluntary swimming.
Host rooms and reading rooms add
their contribution to the usefulness of
the budding, which leaves nothing to be
desired for the successful attainment of
the ideals to which it has Icon dedicated
-the protection and improvement of the
health of University women and a whole
some and beautiful social life for the
University family.

The skies are blue, the situ shines
bright, the maids dye last year’s hats at
night. The young gallant wears scarfs
of red, and hats of straw upon his head.
The lamhlets gambol in the fields, the
lover' languishes at. meals. We east our
flannel undies off, our chest protectors,
too, we doff. We swig whole bottles of
tanlae ,nnd paint the chairs with Jap
shellac. Sweet sixteen wears a gingham
gown that makes the Ladies’ Aid staff
frown, and everywhere, on every hand,
Spring toots her horn to beat the band.
We blithely pay our winter’s bills, and
dream of love and daffodils. The poet’s
ravings do proclaim the fact that lovely
spring has came. —F. L. K.
