Of course Oregon has the most beautiful campus in the West, i That much is generally conceded. But a great deal of the attractive-; ness of the campus lies in its unsurpassed natural scenic beauty, and | it is questionable if the most is made of our natural advantages. A short time ago The Emerald called attention to the fact that there were a number of unsightly billboards on the campus. It not only criticized the responsible parties for allowing these boards to remain in their present position, an eyesore to the students and the ^ many visitors who are on the campus daily, but it suggested that a i uniform signboard system might be installed with much better results. ‘ The billboards are still in existence. J But the signboard evil is not the only disgraceful element which - mars the beauty of the campus. Bordering on “traditionally famous’’ .1 old Kincaid Field, was formerly an array of bleachers and a grand- j stand, and to the rear of the grandstand was a running shed. Some 1 time during the summer vacation these bleachers and the running; shed were torn down and the grandstand was made over into a batting' cage for the baseball team. But when the bleachers and the sheds were torn down and the grandstand remodeled inside, the lumber and rubbish was piled in an ugly heap right on the spot. These masses of rubbish and broken boards, barrels, boxes and odds and ends are still there, blotting out the view of the new Wo man's building and the new women’s residence hall. A deplorable fact, since the state highway passes through the campus, and thousands of auto tourists get their impression of the Oregon campus from this passing view. Hundreds of visitors during the term are similarly impressed. We, who are proud of the beauty of the campus and the fine j new buildings recently constructed here, cannot afford to hide them behind such unsightly camouflage. We cannot afford to let our alumni who come back at Homecoming feel that we are not taking the pride in our campus that they did when students here. This offensive blot should he removed at once. The billboards can well he dispensed with and the batting cage can be moved to the west of the baseball diamond, just south of the bleachers. Can this not be attended to soon 7 SCHROFF WILL DISPLAY SIXTY NEW PAINTINGS Canvass of California Scouory Will Be On Exhibition on Campus After Return From Seattle Show Among the many Interesting and ex eellent paintings to be found in the studio of Professor A. H. Sehroff. in •true, tor in tin' fine arts department of the University, is a group of 60 reovnt paintings of Carmel by the-Sea, California.

Open Forum To the Editor: Perhaps more can >e done than is supposed toward bring ng the faculty to reverse its decision is to the ruling on our Thanksgiving vacation. Of course our school is partly 'ounded on tradition and the formidable ilement of its spirit is that of custom, iut if even under consideration of such i powerful argument as this, the fac llty refuses to consider all the protest that haB been voiced on the campus con cerning the enforcement of the ruling hat wo shall attend classes on the Friday following our national holiday, ve shall have to resort to some more convincing argument than the mere fact chat we are not following the old Ore gon tradition. In the first place, Thanksgiving is ibout the only national holiday that ve have. By a special decree of the President of the United States each rear, the last Thursday in the month of November is set as a day to put aside ill labors and give thanks unto the Mmighty for all that we have received n this world. On this day, perhaps more than on any other, families throughout the country plan to hold ti reunion for the purpose of feasting off the most luscious food that can be obtained anywhere—namely, Turkey and cranberry sauce-—and even go to considerable pains to have all of its members present. No doubt there are many, many sons and daughters whose families expect them to break away from the curricula up here in this town md come home for a visit of short dura tion for the main purpose of joining the Big Values Li Box Stationery Two Boxes for the Price of One Allen's Drug Store The Orange Front Opposite I. 0. 0.

Our families are the lines who are making this University possible and to displease them by the enforcement of some petty rule which is more or less the result of a whim of some hard hearted profes^pr, would not only be exceedingly ungracious, but also undiplomatic. Beside this part of the argument, how many of us are there who will yearn for Mother’s pumpkin pie and plum pudding about the time that day comes around? For this reason there is an independent number among us who will not be de tained from the usual Thanksgiving enjoyment at any cost. Do the pro fessors intend to insist upon attendance at school Friday for the sole purpose that it will be contributory to the end in view—the raising of scholarship? After all, will it pay to raise the scholarship at the expense of lowering the morale of the student body in gen eral? Can the faculty expect the stu dents to believe that they are all for co-operation and such fine harmony as is desired, when that most venerable body passes rulings over our head which are altogether obnoxious to the students in general and are most par ticularly hated by us who live more than four hours from this city and want to attend the usual family re union? Surely if the faculty wants to main tain the confidence of the student body, it will not try to insist upon the en forcement of this drastic ruling against the vacation which has been so highly prized in previous years. It is ex pected that more will be heard from the students as to the new rule, and if we can make a united protest, there is no reason why we cannot again have the pleasure of a Thanksgiving meal cooked by Mother. I i —J. W. P. CAMPUS MAIL INCREASES Hendricks Gets Most Letters; Susan Campbell Most Parcels The amount of mail handled through the campus postoffice has increased proportionately with the increase in students, according to Postmaster Lane; and of this mail Hendricks hall leads in the receipt of first class matter while Susan Campbell hall seems to have a monopoly on the parcel post line. From 5 to 10 sacks of mail are re ceived each day exclusive of large amounts of parcel post and over 5 sacks go out through the office. The avalanche of unclaimed mail which nearly blockaded the corridor in John son hall basement is now pretty well cleaned up and the poBtmaBter says he has the situation well in hand. GILBERT TO U.
