Seott Nifcht Editor in»8 issue Don Woodward And We Must Keep Faith With the campus luncheon controversy back at its starting place in the hands of the Student Council and the misunderstandings re moved which prompted the Junior class committee to take such dras tic action a short time ago, the fate of the luncheon, which has become an integral part of a completely successful Junior' week-end at Ore gon, must be carefully considered in its every aspect. True, the lun cheon is an expense, but it has likewise been pointed out that the ex pense would be no greater to the organizations than an everyday lun cheon is. Were the fate of the traditional luncheon the only one that sus pended in the balance on this decision, it might seem wise to some individuals to seal its doom, but The Emerald does not deem such an action advisable even in that instance. There are other equally im portant features which are distinctive of Oregon’s week-end of hos pitality and to them the luncheon is indispensable in the general pro gram of the day. No completely successful campus day, with its at tending sensations of the democracy born of rubbing elbows with fellow-workmen while the picks and shovels strengthen the feeling of pride in the beauty of the campus, is possible without the fitting conclusion of the campus luncheon. Where, we ask, might the stately senior cops with their shining stars and likewise shining paddles display the efficiency of their pow ers as the keepers of traditions without the campus day? And where also, would the Order of the 0 instill into their understudies, the stal wart huskies of the frosh football eleven, the spirit which prompts them to surmount whatever obstacles may appear in their path, even as they surmount the butte which presents to the world the tradi tionally sacred “0,” if the campus day tradition were not main tained t Oregon must not impair the effectiveness of its distinctive Junior week-end by emasculating the event in any detail. Individuals who are behind such a move should bear in mind that this tradition break ing must not be carried on promiscuously. Here is a tradition which has come down to us through the years .and which is yet dear to our alumni even as it was in the beginning. The Emerald has confidence in the Student Council and believes that it will not destroy any part of the vitality which has made Oregon hospitality so sparklingly successful in the past. The Pot and Its Seasoning The political pot with all its highly seasoued morsels and choice bits of attending rumors has begun its annual boiling period, and as usual comes here and there the news that combination so-and-so is out to get combination such-and-such. And yet the hatchet will be buried deep, within the next month, and Oregon will go on as before. In just such times as these are born ambitions and aspirations which lead to victory,—sometimes, and also to defeat. But the student gains occasionally at first hand here a full knowledge of the ballot, its purposes and its uses,—though occasionally the uses are not always accepted as the best to which it might be put. A rousing political campaign is sometimes valuable for its ability to overcome the ominous mental lethargy which comes in with the first breath of spring. Let us hope that the present campaign will at least accomplish that much. And again it is said that since spring has arrived and the library will only be used as absolute necessity demands, the administration will see fit to replace the rough tables in the study rooms with neat and attractive study conveniences. Such is the irony of fate. The horrors of a real campus day with its accompanying horrors of real work with a pick and shovel might be accountable for the agitation which some few individuals have put forth in an attempt to emasculate Junior Week-end, by slicing it piecemeal.

This statement has been blazoned so much of late that now there are two or three blazons for every kick. It is not an uncommon experience for us in the market place to give ear to some patriarch, from whose eyes the fire and intensity of human happiness have departed, who declares, “This is the age of jazz. When I was a boy—” This earnest re mark is generally accompanied by the buoyant, unbounded enthusiasm of one who feels that the world is exceeding all speed limits to perdition. The terrible realization that our beat ing pinions of hope will soon be bruised and broken against this all-embracing upas tree of jazz should give us pause. The sable shadow of dejection should eclipse our lighter hours, and we should be wrapped in thoughts more sombre and in raiment of a darker hue. Youth must cultivate th^ whiskers of the sage. Happiness is too much with us. Youth was not always frivolous. Time was, even within the present cen tury, when young rowdies were seldom seen or heard. In those days, the cow men, lumber-jacks, bunco men, and train robbers were cultured, courteous and refined. It was merely a matter of course if a group of youthful rang ers inhaled the potency of Vermillion damnation and rode their cayuses down the village street. There was some style to their carous els, despite their gentleness and refine ment, but jazz never entered in because the word had not been invented. They never fired any more shots than were necessary, and their language could always be repeated at the family sup per table. If, by chance, the dyspeptic editor of the local paper was Btrung to a convenient oak and his carcass made a conservatory for hot lead, it never occurred to him to raise a fuss about it. Another editor would take over his plant. Furthermore, the boys never lingered long enough in town to make their presence obnoxious. • • Nowadays, whenever an editor be j comes disagreeable and prints a few unkind remarks about some gentleman, ! there is always an attorney on the job. Tie persuades the said gentleman that whereas he has been insulted by the party of the first part, he should feel greatly aggrieved and seek redress by due process of law. As a result, the i editor loses, the party of the second ! part loses, and the lawyer’s daughter, with her powdered nose 45 degrees to the zodiac, rides about town in a new limousine. The editor, then, who takes too much interest in life and becomes all hopped up over the pursuit of happiness, is too ' much like our jazzy, frivolous youth of today. They always come to a bad ending. If the intensity of adventurous lifo is to be known, it should be known I not from experience, but by proxy, and thus the movies are the chief factor to I save us from stagnation. They are, in truth, highly successful in their mission, j and their field is ever increasing. In those post-war days we have been pleased to place German atrocities in the background of our memory, but every once in a while these atrocities are dragged out and aired for our moral exhaltation. Not long ago there ap peared posters, dodgers, and full-page ads warning us of the advent of a thrilling, throbbing, uplifting exhibition of the screen. Attached to each and every advertisement was the recom mendation, “See the man you’ll love to hate.” This particular person was some kind of a von whose name had ; not been torn off and obliterated in the I late war. “Here,” I reflected, “is an oppor ■ tunity for mo to do some hating by I proxy.” So I went to the show. There was something foolish about it, pos sibly in the title, which I do not now , recall. Yes, I curbed my fiery spirit and went unarmed to behold the great in | spiration of hatred. With bated breath i I saw him flounder through several I reels of colorless, undramatie, unin j spired flounders. lie was terribly in iquitous, and several times he smoked cigarettes as long and exciting as the play itself. For two hours I reviewed a collection of stilted atrocities, and I was glad when the atrocity-maker was [thrown into a sewer, for I knew it was the end. I hated him all right, for he had made a fool of me, stolen two hours of mv time. SPANIARD TO SPEAK HERE Guillermo Cifre de Colonia, Student at O. A.

BETA RIFLE TEAM SECOND Captain Lewis Says Marksmanship of Students Is Steadily Improving In the doughnut rifle competition on the “A” range, which began last Sat urday morning, Beta Theta Pi’s team of sophomores made a score of 130 out of 200 possible points. This score placed them next to Sigma Chi’s win ning team, which made 151 points. Captain F. C. Lewis, of the Univer sity military department, in charge of the range, was particularly pleased that ; an early start was made on the firing, | which was from 7:30 a. m. to 1 o’clock ; in the afternoon. Of the firing, Captain Lewis says: | “ Firing will improve later in the term due to two things: first, improvements j on the range and, second, increased preliminary instruction.” ' SIX AFTER MASTER’S DEGREES Six graduate students in the school ! of education are candidates for mas ter ’s degrees, four of whom are now on the campus.
