Scott Ni«ht Editor This Issue Dan Lyons Just for Fair Play The decision of the Oregon Tax Reduction League to recommend \o the people of this state that the millage tax for the maintenance of the higher educational institutions be eliminated, and to place such a measure upon the ballot, is the certain reaction of a public over burdened with taxation. That the members of the league should have seen fit to attack personalities and methods in their efforts to force a resolution condemning the educational tax is unfortunate. Students attending these institutions are the products of these, homes' and farms from which the support of the institutions must come. They know and realize full well the financial need if a higher education in its every aspect is to be offered, and from these students j should come the accusations of so-called unprineipaled personalities and bogus methods. Here at the university every effort has been made to develop the idea of individual responsibility and free thought and speech. It would not be so easy to “pull the wool over our eyes” as it might seem to the outsider. There is no surer way ol ascertaining true con ditions within these educational institutions than to be on the ground with an eye and an ear always open. No spirit of selfishness must enter into the issue once it is put before the taxpayers. If a complete reduction in all departments of the state is to be made, then the educational institutions ought not to suffer more than their just proportion under the pruning knife. The students are asking fair play and a thorough consideration on the part of the taxpayers,—far better this, than to face the disas trous results of a throttling of the young men and women who are seeking to prepare themselves for useful citizens of this great state. No Problem Here Steps have been taken by some of the Eastern institutions to encourage greater interest in the simple lite on the part of the stu dents. Recently the use of automobiles by the undergraduates has been frowned upon at Princeton. President llibben of Princeton in his request that the autos be left at home says, “It would be desirable in the light of conditions in the country and in the world if students during the formative periods of their lives could realize the value to themselves and their fellows of simplicity in living and of the elimination of unnecessary luxuries. It is the opinion of the senior council that a privately owned automobile is not only an absolutely unnecessary adjunct to an Undergraduate s success at Princeton, but that, on the contrary, it often proves a positive detriment to the interest of the individual owner.” llo hum! I lore at Oregon the administration is fortunately not face to face with such a problem. Like the proverbial hen’s teeth, they are also scarce. The writer of an article in the “Editorially flipped'* column who complains that publicity for athletics overshadows that given intel lectual activities, has probably taken part in but few athletic contests. Brains, it appears to us, are essential in all student activities. Ath letics furnishes a larger tield than any other student activity, and this may explain in part the supposed over emphasis of athletic news; the demands ot. the public for the detailing of physical combat is probably more largely responsible. President Harding's message to congress does not require a megaphone man to bawl out to the crowd, “the sentence by sentence returns,” but a battle for the heavy weight championship between two knights of the sawdust ring blocks the traffic four ways while the "round by round returns" arc heraided. Poaches, trainers, athletes real and otherwise, arc praying that the April showers descended during March. The tradition that April is the month of rain could easily be dispensed with at this university.

EDITORIALLY CLIPPED DEBATERS WIN CHAMPIONSHIP The University^ of Oregon debating team lias not only the Pacific Coast championship but the state champion ship as well. During the season the Oregon orators met and defeated Stan ford University of California, the state university of Washington, Reed College of Portland, and Oregon Agricultural College. The above facts were taken from a press dispatch to one of our big Portland dailies and we could not help but notice the space given to this item, ns compared with a football contest. The names of the debaters were not oven mentioned. A careful reading of the dispatch, however, shows it to be a special from the University of Ore gou, consequently the paper should not bo criticized for the omission of names. But it shows the spirit, of the ago of publicity between athletics and brains. Had the Oregon team defeated either Stanford, the University of Washing ton, or the Agricultural College, there would have been columns written and large half tone cuts of the team col lootively and individually, but a vic torious debating team with a Pacific Coast championship receives a scant four inch notice. Without doubt, ath letics is being emphasized out of all proportion to its merits as compared to other college activities. Baker Herald. TWO RANGES READY FOR GIRLS’ SHOOTING Women’s Doughnut Rifle Contests Soon to Bo Hold; House Mothers May Participate 1 'Ho gallery rifle range as well as the "A" range will be available during the Spring term for all university girls who wish to practice or learn rifle shooting, according to a bulletin issued liv l ieutenant M. K. Knowles of the military science department yesterday. The gallery range will be open the fol lowing periods: Monday, 3 to 5 p, in.; Tuesday. :i to t p. in.; Friday, 2 to 5 p. uv; Wednesday, 9 to 10 a. m.; Wed nesday, 3 to 5 p. m.; Saturday, li to 1:1 a. iu.

I.ientenant Knowles desires that the team managers advise him of the dates their teams wish to fire and also a list of the team members. A score for one team can be fired in one afternoon if desired, as the outdoor gallery range is now completed, making it possible for all members to fire at the same time. House mothers are invited to partioi pate in the shooting if thev wish.

FIBSITOUR OF BURLESQUE CLUB PROVES SUCCESSFUL All Male Cast Wins Approval in “The Shady Lady” The Burlesque club, which is com posed of most of the men in the dra matic companies, returned from their first tour which took them to Bandon, Marshfield, Myrtle Point, and Coquille, the first part of the week, well pleased with the success of “The Shady Lady” which they produced in these four Coos county towns. Because of the success of the play it will be produced with the male cast in Guild hall April 13 and 14, The idea of the play was to burlesque the tense “stagy” effects which most of the play writers now use, and the whole play was very overdrawn and all of the melodramatic situations were exaggerated until it was extremely humorous. In all of the four towns in which the play was produced, except Myrtle Point, the audience entered into the spirit of the farce and enjoyed it thoroughly. This was the first time that the University has sent out a male cast and as the play was a financial as well as artistic success, it is expected that a cast will be sent out every spring, as is done in many of the larger univer-. sities. The plot circles around a wealthy young man who just couldn’t help but fall in love with Belinda Treherne, the shady lady, Minnie Svmperson, and one or two others. Many of the men who have appeared in numerous Guild pro i duetions played roles in this play which were entirely different to any other ever played here. The entire cast was: Maggie McFarland, a country girl . Norvell Thompson Angus MacAlister, her lover. .:. Edwin Keech Mrs. McFarland, Maggie.’s mother . Claire Keeney Belvawney, Cheviot’s friend. . Virgil Mulkey Belinda Treherne, who was engaged to McGillieuddy .'.Joe Clark Mr. Symperson, Minnie’s father... !' . Arthur Johnson Cheviot Ilill, engaged to Minnie.... . Fergus Reddie Major McGillieuddy . . . George Kronenberg Minnie Symperson.Delbert Faust Parker, her maid.John Ellestad Professor Reddie coached the pro duction.
