COLONEL LEADER.
Colonel John Leader is an Englishman in England, an Irish
man in Ireland, and American in America, and a loyal Oregon
ian while on the Oregon campus or anywhere else. It is hard
ly probable that his popularity among’ the students of the l ni
versity can he surpassed by any other man who has ever been
connected with the University. The reception given him at
assembly yesterday and during his stay here proves that.
Colonel Leader is one of the most picturesque characters
most students have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Al
though of the class termed the aristocracy in England, here
lie is the very embodiment of democracy. Ilis cheery greet
ing, his hearty handclasp, his informal wit, his very appear
ance, fairly breathes the democracy which Oregon Spirit ex
emplifies.
While connected with the University, Colonel Leader was
one of the biggest drawing cards the University possessed.
Me made friends everywhere, as he still does, and those friends
become friends of the University because they become satur
ated with a part of the loyalty and love of Oregon which the
colonel himself possesses.
Colonel Leader will always he welcomed here, even after
those students who know him best have passed out from col
lege. lie is distinctly a. part of Oregon, lie is a tradition.
The communication in yesterday’s Emerald which suggest
ed the abolishment of Junior Week-end is not the raving of a
student with natural bolshevik tendencies. The student who
wrote it knew what he was talking about, and his ideas are at
least the basis for possible reforms in the Junior Week-end
activities fornext year. It is a problem which will he brought
more forcibly to the front in the future.
What with the senior lottery and a bargain sale dance
scheduled for one night, things look as if all the students will
have a chance to get on one last spree before the final rush for
textbooks commences. The Sigma Nu revelry won’t have any
thing on the Men’s Gymnasium bust either, according ot press
agents. On with the unconfined joy!
The student activities committees have been appended and
thev will soon he initiated into the seriousness of their jobs.
It is an honor to ho a member of one of these committees be
cause it offers an opportunity to do some real work for Oregon.

SLEEPING BEAUTIES.
Editor: Sunday about midnight as 1
was reposing comfortably on my left rear
floating rib, speculating on life, death,
and how I was going to secure my quota
of bed clothes which were wrapped com
pactly around the sleeping cherub by mv
side, he suddenly rose bolt upright, hair
pointing to the starry vault, and stared
at me with a wild light in bis eyes, break
ing out into a hysterical cackle.
“Ha ha!” he said shrilly, extending his
hand, “my name’s Copula. Ua ha! What

‘DAD'S DAY’ ADVOCATED
With all tlu1 attention that is being
given to "Mother’s Day” throughout the
country. Ohio State College has voiced
i cry for an annual “Dad’s Day,” to be
staged in honor of the nation’s paternal
ancestors. It advocates that the time he
set so that it would come near the
heighth of the collegiate football season.
Editorially, the Ohio State Lantern says
in part:
Such a movement should meet with
BARS—en’ everything at the

the co-operation and hearty support of
every student. The idea is to give the
“dads” an opportunity to revel in tli(v
activities and "the life they once en
joyed, namely, student life; or il he hap
pens to l»<> one of many “dads” who were
denied the privileges of a college educa
tion, the opportunity to see what he has
missed and to study the kind of life hr.;
boy or girl is living at a University. Also
it will give him an opportunity to view
at (lose range the daily routine of the
greatest Ohio college, typifying the great
good being done among the present col
lege generation by the colleges of our
nation.
It has been the custom for years for
certain organizations on the campus to
celebrate Dads’ Day. hut heretofore no
concerted effort has been made to have
these celebrations come on the same day.
Xo;v. since such a project has been start
er. il behooves ('very organization to keep
in close touch with it and plan to assist
in every way possible to make the scheme
—if launched—a success.
Other schools have tried the plan and
have declared it a huge success. It has
become on established custom at the
University of Illinois, and those who
made the journey to Urbana last fall
doubtless remember the thousands of
neatly tagged, smiling, rooting "dads”
who made up a part of that great crowd
which saw the Scarlet and Gray take
the I5ig Ten gridiron honors.
Dads’ Day can be made a success with
very little effort. Co-operation on the
part of every student is all that will be
needed. Dads’ Day would in no way
interfere with alumni reunions or other
annual gatherings, as it would he distinct
ly a father-and-son event. What “dad”
is there who wouldn’t, enjoy hobnobbing
for a day with his iioy or girl on the
campus? What “dad” wouldn’t enjoy
meeting his hoy’s or girl’s chums? What
“dad” wouldn’t enjoy making an inspec
tion of the University which he helps
support?
Five Watches Bear Witness to
Paddock’s Speed.
Los Angelos, May 25.—Five watches,
frozen at the fifth-second mark, which
denotes the time made by Charles Pad
dock when on March 2(5 he finished 220
yards at a Berkeley race in the world’s
record time of 20 4-5 seconds, are part
of the evidence which will he considered
by officers of the A. A. U. in adjudging
Paddock’s record as official, according to
Robert S. Weaver, of Los Angeles, pres
ident of the A. A. U.
The watches, with supplemental evi
dence substantiating the time, are in the
hands of Frederick W. Rubiens, secre
tary of the A. A. IT., at 144 Broadway,
New York, who, in a telegram to the 20
year-old Californian, a student at the
University of Southern California in Los
.Angeles, informally announced recently
that he “saw no reason why (lie Berkeley
meet record should not stand.”
This is the first time since 1042 that
the A. A. IT. has had to consider allow
ing a new world’s record in the 220-yard
event, it is said, and before granting rec
ognition of a record the necessary steps
are many. Following a race, the judges
swear to affidavits stating that all con
ditions were fair and equal, the timers
make signed statements giving the time
involved and the watches are chocked at
| the points marked by the timers. These
men are sent to the secretary ot the A.
A. U. in New York, together with all the
affidavits, including one from the starter
and a special engineer who swears the
track was level, the distance exact and
physical conditions as required.
Received in New York, these are con- .
sidered by the secretary, who makes roc- '.
ommendations and refers the matter to a ■
special committee. After a few months,
'if favorable consideration results, the .
record is “allowed.”
If Paddock’s record stands, it will of
1 ficially supersede the three former re-.
I cords of 21 1-5 seconds made respective- .
; Jy by Heroic Wafers in 1897, Ralph Craig]
in 1910, and E. J. Lippincott in 1912.
