NAVY WOULD
Find the R. 0. T. C.
Was Causing Jt to
BE POPULAR
Because All Cadets
Would Be Sailors
IN NEW WAR
-By Jay Dee
Both E- J. H. and I agree about the
poor B. O. T. C. The time has come,1
it seems to us, to do away with war- ;
like fuss. No longer should the frosh ■
and soph be told to line up and count
off. If peace on earth we are to find,
it then must start with peace of mind, j
Cadets have not and never will have I
peace of mind while yet they drill.
If e ’er again there should be need
of gallant men to fight and bleed, the
boys who drilled at Funston hall would
join the navy, one and all. No more
for them the wrap puttees, the O. D.
shirts and sack-like knees. Instead,
they’d live on battleships and take
their chance on briny dips. Because,
they all will have their fill of what |
they’re told is army drill.
K. O. T. C. ’s were not discussed at i
Washington for lack of crust. No U. j
S. diplomat had brass to label them a
■war-like mass. The Jewish navy, I j
confess, would cause much more un- j
easiness.
What’s more, we boast of liberal arts,
of cultured minds and kindly hearts,
while all the time, just up the street, j
the kahki-colored soldiers meet- They |
learn to shoot and cut and tear with all I
the gusto of a bear. Alas, alas, how j
long shall flocks of men uphold this
paradox!
The econ profs all say with haste
that wars are economic waste. They
show by cold, case-hardened facts, the
neck of Mars should feel the ax. With
this still fresh in careful notes the boys
go don their misfit coats. They grab
a greasy Springfield gun, (somehow
that rhymes with “place in sun”), and
bump it down the barracks’ steps and
march around to “hips” and “heps.”
Mayhap they spend some study hours
where S. A. T. C. boys took showers.
Then too, the academic, loss that’s
caused by all this martial dross. A stu
dent drills and flunks in Phil-, he
studies then and flunks in drill. Per
haps he carries typhoid germs, if so
he drills three other terms. Demerits
come from every side if he should
chance to slip or slide. And if he dare
draw his breath, for him too good is
sudden death!
Another thing there’s a waste of
land, enough to make a golf course
grand. Just wander out and cast your
eyes upon this smooth and sightly
rise, crowned by an architectural heap
-where once EssAaTeaSee did sleep.
It matches well, they’ll have you know,
the Woman’s building just below. Oh
heroes of the gallant Marne, what think
ye all of such a barnf
Suppose the field were made a links
-where profs could play their fellow
ginks. “Ah me,” says major, loot and
sarge, “ ’t ’would steal away an income
large. Indeed ’t’would be a thought
less fool who’d kill the income of the
■school- Each third-year man who drills
a day gets forty cents of U. S. pay.
"With ninety men and ninety years the
sum would raise John D. to tears. In
sixty years the golden hoard would
pretty nearly buy a Ford.”
Not so, say we, the soldier laddies
would make a fortune being caddies.
They’d find and sell elusive balls and
puff away on good Pall Malls. Their
former forty cents, bee jax, woud hard
ly pay their income tax. Where once
the humbled soldier trod the Scotch
athlete would tear the sod. And when
he reached the nineteenth hole, (where
once was quaffed the flowing bowl)
he’d think of how this prospect still
had seen our youth told how to kill.
Ah woe is you, ah woe ia*me| Ah woe
is both of us, all three! How long, O
faculty, how long, will you support
this motlv throng? Oh haste the days
and speed the nights until we read its
funeral rites- May time leap forward
in its run until the Cynic’s will is done.
Some Would Abolish Junior
Week-end; Opinions Differ
Shal) Junior Week-end be abolished?
Or shall it be subject to the rulings
of a “limitation of expenses confer
ence?”
Following the discussion of the pro
posals to abolish or to limit expendi
tures in Junior Week-end, in the Open
Forum column of the Emerald and by
various organizations a variety of opin
ion has been expressed by student
leaders.
Nearly all of those who made state
ments were of the opinion that Junior
Week-end activities are too strenuous
and that too much time and expense is
required. The canoe fete especially
was subject to criticism. Many were
emphatic in declaring that too much
trouble was expended for the prepara
tion of the floats. Others were as posi
tive that even if all other week-end fes
tivities should be dropped the canoe
fete should be retained. Nearly every
person who was interviewed admitted
that the occasion had been getting
more time and energv than the results
would justifv. There were however,
but one or two exponents of abolishing
it altogether- Perhaps the majority
favored a plan to limit the celebration
to one day and to restrict the number of
guests.
A limitation of Junior Week-end to
one day was suggested by Leith Abbott.
The program for this day, according to
Abbott would be: baseball games in
the morning, a luncheon at noon, a
track meet in the afternoon and a
dance in the evening. Abbott said that
he was in favor of *the abolishing of
entertaining preppers at the various
organizations as this would cut down
much of the expense. Speaking of
O. A. C., Abbott said, that Oregon and
O. A. C. are now working in harmony
in regard to questions of great import
ance and stated that he was sure that
O. A- C. would agree to abolish their
festivities also.
“T am positively against the entire
abolishing of Junior Week-end,” said
Verne Blue. B’ue expressed himself
in favor of placing restrictions on the
activities, but believed that the canoe

J01II WEEK-END
CRITICISM DRAWS
COUNCIL NOTICE
Committee Will Investigate
All Phases of Spring
Holiday
RALLY DANCE AUTHORIZED
Warning Against Vandalism
Given; Glee Concert
Date Held Open \
A committee from the Student Coun
cil will investigate every phase of the
criticism and plans for Junior Week
end, which have lately been discussed
on the campus, and will report to the
next meeting of that body.
President Lyle Bartholomew, last
night appointed Jason McCune, Mildred
Ferguson and Maurice Eben to make a
detailed report to the Council at the
next regular session at which time the
council will take definite action.
Last night’s session of the council
lasted for three hours and considerable
time was taken up in the making of
reports and requests which should have
been taken up through various com
mittees or by a proper procedure. Pres
ident Bartholomew pointed out the fact
that there was a lack of knowledge
on the part of the students as to just
what procedure to follow in making
requests and reports to the council and
urged that they consult the green Ore
gon handbook before bringing up a re
quest.
Reports Not Prepared Correctly
“While it is not our desire to in any
way discourage students from bringing
matters before the council,” said Bar
tholomew, “We are very anxious that
they prepare their reports in such a
manner that we will not have to con
sume a great part of our meeting per
iod in getting the technicalities settled
and in getting a thorough understand
ing of the report or request.”
The dance committee of the coun
cil of which Arthur Campbell is chair
man was instructed to petition the stu
dent affairs committee of the faculty
to allow more student body dance dates
during the remainder of the school
year. The reasons for making this
request as they were pointed out were
that the Order of the O and the Ore
gon Knights had requested a student
body dance date and that the number of
dates which the associated students had
at their disposal for giving dances to
these organizations if it were not ab
solutelv necessarv.
Student Dances Profitable
Financial reports for the student
body dances have shown a substantial
return this year and it is declared that
the dances have now become a source
of revenue which must be depended
upon to replenish the treasury of the
associated students. Professor DeBusk
of the student affairs committee who
was present at the council meeting de
clared that he did not know just what
action the committee might take on
the matter.
A report from the student fund com
mittee which was recently created by
the council was read and referred back
to the committee for further action.
It is understood that this committee
is attempting to arrive at a solution
of the “campus drive” problem which
has been constantly before the stu

Kindly Seniors
Move Facetious
Frosh to Tears
Perpetrators of the diabolical ini
quity culminating in the painting of
the sacred senior bench were brought
before the tribunal yesterday noon
in front of the library where the
all-powerful seniors assembled to wit
ness the abnegation of the aforesaid
culprits, all of the freshmen acting
as defendants. Leith Abbott, presi
dent of the class of ’22, poured sac
rimonious invective upon the heads
of the unforaunate recalcitrants,
whereupon they showed their abject
humiliation and infinite gratitude by
prostrating themselves before the I
august assembly. "We thank thee,
oh mighty seniors, for thy moral
justice and divine equity,” wailed
these useless appendages of the Uni
versity. And the sweet and benove
lent natures of the seniors were
moved. Their kindness acted as a
detergent for the despicable crimes
of the frosh. Then the freshmen
went to their 1 o’clocks, knowing in
their puerile sophistication that they
were wiser and warmer.
WOMEN JO EXTEND
ACTIVITY OF LEAGUE
INTO FOREIGN FIELD
Extensive Program Planned
Scholarship Fund to
be Supported
The activities of Women’s League of
the University will extend into foreign
fields this year if the proposed exten
sive program for the next three months
is successfully carried out. Plans for
the establishment of a foreign scholar- !
ship fund to be supported by the Wo
men ’s League, are now being formed
and their completion will be one of the
important factors in the activities of
the League this year.
The establishment of such a fund
was considered by the League last term
and the activities will center this se
mester in the accomplishment of the
idea. The effect of such a proposition
will be extensive as it will mean bring
ing more foreign students to the cam
pus as well as closer international
scholastic relationship. The scholar
ship will be offered only to women of
foreign countries.
Financial Program Planned
An extensive financial program is
afso planned for this term, according to
Ella Rawlings, president. The League
expects to stand financially clear at
the end of the term and one of the first
steps will be to pay off the note of
$500 taken over by the League to fi
nance the concerts of the symphony
orchestra last year. Only $95 of the
debt remains to be paid off
The “point system,” a much dis
cussed question in other schools will be
a new issue in the activities of the
League this term. It is planned to
introduce the point system on the cam
pus in the regulation of women’s parti
cipation in campus activities. The
idea was conceived last semester after
the Pacific Coast convention of Feder
ated Women’s Leagues at Berkeley
where the plan has been successful.
Meetings Will be Held
Meetings for the discussion of prob
lems of general interest to women will
be held this semester. It is planned to
make these meetings more in the nature
of discussion groups or an open forum.
It is also proposed to hold meetings
more frequently than every fourth
Thursday as has here to fore been the
practice. This question will be dis
cussed at the first meeting.
The aim of the League this term, as
set forth by Ella Rawlings, is to pro
mote and strengthen women’s activit
ies, to work for the general good and
the interests of the University, and to j
support campus affairs.
STUDENT LOAN FUND TO j
RECEIVE GIFT OF $25,0001
Portland Woman Makes Provision For
Donation to University
Upon Her Death
A certain woman in Portland has ;
made a provision that upon her death,
$25,000 will become available for
| the Student Loan Fund, which now
i amounts to $10,000.
The money in the Student Loan Fund
| is loaned to deserving students in
amounts up to $200. It is never loaned
to any one student. The loan is sup- ;
. posed to be paid back as soon as pos
sible after graduation, with six per cent
interest, but not more than five out
' of ten recipients of the loan repay it
without a great deal of trouble on the
part of the committee. One loan is six
| years overdue now- Two guarantors
property owners, are renuired for even-1
j loan, so the money is always returned
eventually.
STUDENTS TO GREET
VICTORIOUS ELEVEN
TWENTYTRACK MEN
START PREPARING
FOR HARO SEASON
Last Years’ Freshmen Stars
Predominate on Squad
at Present
MANY MEETS SCHEDULED
Pacific Coast-Northwest Con
ference Meet Listed For
Seattle May 16-17
This week track men are starting on
the long limbering up process in pre
paration for the season which starts in
April. About 20 men, including Covalt,
McGraw, Risley, Rosebraugh, Spearow,
Webber and Bi-atie, all last year’s
freshman stars, have signed up, and the
list is growing every day.
Coach Hank Foster is instructing the
runners in how to get into condition
without accumulating “buck shins” and
‘ ‘ charlie horses ’ and giving light work
outs around the track on Hayward field.
Foster says that he wants about a
hundred men out to increase competition
for places, but at present it looks as
though the turnout might be unusually
small this year. Few of the freshmen
out seem to have had previous experience
but “Hank” is hopeful that some good
material may be developed before the
season is over.
Two Squads Soon
Few of last years Varsity runners
have put in an appearance on the field
as yet, but it is expected that they will
begin turning out in the near future.
As soon as Bill Hayward returns with
the football team the contestants will
be divided up between him and Foster
and will receive the personal attention
of one of the two. At present trackmen
are turning out three times weekly,
taking it easy around the track for a
few laps and then going in. All that is
desired for the time being is for the
men to get up a good sweat each time,
working slowly into shape until the teams
are picked for the various events.
One Meet For Eugene
The schedule this year takes in four
meets beginning April 22. Of this num
ber only one will be staged in Eugene
and that with the University of Wash
ington. The first contest will be the
Northwest relay Carnival to be held in
Seattle. On May 13 LeinonYellow
tracksters go to Corvallis to try to wrest
honors from the Aggies. The wearers
of the Orange and Black are showing
up well and give promise of a hard
fight.
Washington comes to Eugene on May
20 to test the mettle of the varsity, and
on May 26 and 27 the Northwest- Pa
cific coast conference meet is to be held
in Seattle. This meet will probably be
the hardest of the lot. At least 16 in
stitutions will be represented, and it is
probable that more teams will be in
vited to enter.
LARGE LOST PROPERTY
COLLECTION IN VILLARD
Many Pens, Knives, Gloves, and Books
Will be Returned to Owners
on Description
A lost and Found case has been
placed in the corridor of Villard hall,
containing all small articles left in the
buiding during the semester. The jani
tor is eager to have the owners identify
their property as this case is main
tained for the benefit of the students
and should be used.
Such things as gloves, pens, and pen
knives are in the case now awaiting
their respective owners. Articles too
large for the case such as books and
umbrellas are left in the classrooms.
The janitor can be found in the build
ing at any time during the day until
5 p. m. He will be very glad to return
the lost- articles to their owners after
proper identification. This should be
attended to at once as all unclaimed
articles will be confiscated after a cer
tain period of time
Any article lost in the library may
also be recovered by inquiring for it
at the Lost and Found case on the
first floor of the Library building.
PLEDGING ANNOUNCED
Alpha Chi Omega announces the
nledging of Marian Dunsmore, and
Katherine Freeman, both of Portland.
Young Copper
Kings Plu nge
High At Game
A new sport has found favor among
the rooters at Oregon basketball
games. Instead of initiations and
stunts which have formerly been
staged between halves, the young
sters of Eugene have discovered that
the diversion of scrambling for pen
nies is profitable for them as well
as entertaining for the spectotors.
The desire for easy money and the
generosity of spectators proved too
much of a temptation for the young
sters to pass up and the result was
a good old fashioned penny scramble.
Anyone who has ever tried to corral
a runaway penny on a hardwood
floor with street shoes on, can ap
preciate the job that the young finan
ciers had on their hands. The pen
nies proved themselves much more
apt in taking the corners than did
the lads and often some penny
chaser would go gyrating from his
course with more fancy tumbling
than a slapstick comedian.
After “King Obie” called a halt
to their profitable operations, the
juvenile Ponzis could be seen com
paring notes on the results of the
coin snatching party. Hearsay has it
that one lad gathered 63 cents in the
melee.
