Whose Turn Now?
Lack of funds has been consistently held forth on all sides recently
as the reason for the abominable facilities for tennis players as well
as for the fact that better equipment has not been provided for the
members of the Varsity athletic teams. A perfectly good reason,
yet one which can only be met by the proper amount of persuasion
and the bringing of the true conditions into the light.
The athletic program here at Oregon this year has become a
pretentious student activity, and rightfully, for there is no question
ing the benefits of physical development. But it is high time that
obsolete equipment be thrown into the discard and needed facilities
added. The cry of lack of funds has apparently been sufficiently j
loud in the past and all agitation has been kindly suspended by those
who are suffering from the inadequacy of equipment.
In a University where the school of physical education has built
up such an extensive plan for the proper amount of physical exercise
for each student, the institution should not be found manting when it
comes to providing the means for efficiency in this physical training.
Three tennis courts for the entire student body and ragged nets and
uneven concrete flooring in these are one example of the need of
better facilities. The fact that teams entered in the intramural base
ball competition are furnishing their own equipment is another.
The need of more equipment for the members of the Varsity squads
who are participating in intercollegiate athletics is urgent, yet the
condition of the treasury of the A. S. U. 0. is such that economy
which far exceeds the better judgment of the coaches is imperative.
Since the value of physical education is emphasized to such a de
gree, which is not exceptionally high by any means, then the Univer
sity should be willing to aid financially in the providing of proper
facilities and equipment which will result in the most efficient train
ing. Very little help has been forthcoming from the coffers of the
University in the past, and the extent to which the students have
had to provide their own facilities includes the building of Hayward
Field with its grandstand and bleachers.
Where an institution is provided near a population center, gate
receipts at intercollegiate games help meet the needs. Here a dif
ferent problem is faced. Oregon must compete with the other institu
tions on the Pacific Coast and the teams here must be of the same
high quality in comparison that they have in the past.
This being true, then it is up to the University to do its bit. The
A. S. U. O. has about reached the limit.
The Democratic Solution
A prominent faculty member has proposed that since the six-day
week plan has been declared undemocratic and not in keeping with
the principles of a University where “work is legal tender for an
education,’ the sixth day he added along with an extra hour of credit.
Under such an arrangement, the present 3(5 weeks of the University
courses of a five day-week basis, could be shortened to 30 weeks with
the added day. Thus in the end there would still be ISO days of prep
art ion and recitation but the year spent at the University would be
shortened by six weeks,—and the need for the odd job would decrease
in proportion.
The readiness with which Kugene merchants respond to the re
quests of the University is further exemplified recently by the offer
ings of prize awards by several of the enterprising firms to students
interested in advertising. The prize winning ads will appear in The
Emerald.

JUNIOR LOTTERY APRIL 21
Women to Conduct Square Mix-up
Affair at Men’s Gym
Another lottery! Maybe it will be
a square one, but probably not. The
junior women are going to have it, for
a purpose.
The juniors are planning to have an
informal dance on April 21, the night
of the sophomore lottery, so that the
young ones won't get ahead of them, or!
perhaps it is because they had such a i
good time at their .Tazz Jinks. Any
way, it is supposed to be a ladies’
choice affair. In order to prevent any
rivalry or competition over the hand
some juniors, they have decided to have
a lottery and mix the class up a little.
No committee has been appointed
yet, according to Tommy Wyatt. The
dance is to be at the men's gymnasium,
if possible.

The Periscope
BY
An Observer
.Just as Socrates went about the streets
>f Athens showing the Greeks how little
;hey knew, the Oregon eampus needs
lomeone to go about showing the students
jow much more they should know—about
literature and poetry especially. This
wrings to our mind the question: Are we
Philistines? "We say yes, until we are
definitely proved the contrary. But
;he point is that we ran across a most
jxtraordinary piece of writing the other
day by Arthur Symons. If anyone ever
asks you what a critic is, simply reply
hat a critic is a man who can speak of
a poet as follows:
“(Speaking of Robert Bridges) others
nave concerned themselves with passions
more vehement, with thoughts more pro
found, with a wilder music, a more var
able colour; others have been romantic,
realistic, classical, and tumultous; have
wrought a remote magic into verse, and
have made verse out of sorrowful things
dose at hand. But while all these men
aave been singing themselves, and what
;hey have counted most individual in
themselves, this man has put into his
terse only what remains over when all
:he others have finished.”
Robert Bridges, for the edification of
:he uninformed, is poet-laureate of Eng
land. He is far too much neglected by
American readers, for in him you find
Joleridge’s requirement, “poetry in its
iiigher and purer sense.” There is no
ting highbrow about these remarks, or
it least we do not think so. You will find
much in literature which will have a pro
found influence upon you. life even
though when you say you don’t know
who Robert Bridges is some one points
their finger at you and says, “for shame,
phillistine.”
After breezing about this campus dur
ing the warmest periods of several polit
ical campaigns, we feel sufficiently
“backgrounded” to suggest and urge
that it be demanded that the co-eds who
ispire to the important positions on the
Student Council and the Executive Coun
cil this spring be selected for their real
ousiness ability. These two bodies have
leen under our observation at intervals
luring the past year, and it would appear
;hat something more than mere popular
ity is needed in times when judgment
must be passed. Therefore we acclaim
igain that if it is true that strong polit
ical organizations do exist on this cam
pus among the co-eds, (which accusation
wo doubt exceedingly) they use. very care
ful judgment in their selection.

MISS TINGLE AT MEETING
Three from Campus Attend Portland
Home Economics Conference
Miss Lilian Tingle, head of the home
economics department, and Hazel Hauek
and Mattie Pattison, assistants in the
department, attended a conference held
in Portland during the week-end by
Mrs. Henrietta Calvin, national home
economi s expert of the Bureau of Edu
: cation at Washington, D. C.
The conference was attended by
teachers of home economics and domes
tic science from all parts of the state.
Matters of organization, teaching and
standardization were discussed.
The meeting was of special interest
because Mrs. Calvin, who as a repre
sentative of the Bureau of Education,
has been giving lectures and holding
conferences throughout the whole coun
try, was formerly head of the home eco
nomics department at O. A. C. and,
Miss Tingle says, is well known all
over the state.

Junior is learning
to be a banker
IF you are putting' in three hours a day in the electrical
lah, don’t he surprised twenty years later to find your
self promoting a public utility bond issue. Or if you start
in newspaper work, as like as not later on you will turn to
manufacturing or advertising or law.
\ ou don t know where opportunity' or inclination will
lead you. This tact has a great deal to do with your work
at college not so much the things you learn as the way
you learn them.
Don t think of education as a memory test in names and
dates and definitions. That knowledge is important, but
only as an incidental. Of far greater value is the habit of
getting at underlying laws, the basic principles which tie facts
together.
The work of the pioneers in electrical experiment, at
first glance confusing, is simplified once you realize that
much of it hinged upon a single chemical phenomenon, the
action of the voltaic cell.
Analyze your problems. Look for fundamentals. Learn
to connect a law or an event with what went before and what
comes after. Make your education a training in logical
thinking.
This ability to think straight, whether acquired in
Engineering or Arts, is the biggest thing you can get at
college. Its aid as a means to success applies equally to
whatever work you take up—since mental processes are the
same everywhere. It is the power which enables a mechanic
to become sales manager, a lawyer to head a great industrial
organization. Develop it, if you would be ready when your
big opportunity comes.
The executives of this Company have been
chosen from alt branches of the organisation.
It doesn t make much difference where you
learn to think straight, so longas you learn.
