Looking Toward Improved Conditions
The recent attack which The Emerald launched against the in
tramural sports program was not meant to convey the idea that the
entire program was a failure. On the contrary, The Emerald realizes
the success of the doughnut basketball schedule this year, and it holds
out the hope that baseball and track meets scheduled will be fully as
productive. But it has said that the greater aspect of the plan was
not sufficiently worked out, which had prevented its being the suc
cess which many had hoped that it would be.
Dean John F. Bovard, of the school of physical education, assures
us that such a plan for the coming year is now being formulated and
that every detail will be carefully considered and the best solution
obtained. This is good pews, and will mean that the efficiency of
the program will be increased two-fold another year and Oregon will
be able to boast of a complete organization which few institutions
which regard athletics in their proper light, will be able to emulate.
There are many things to be considered and chief among these will
be the matter of eligibility, and the system of making awards and
counting points. The value of intramural sports is inestimable as a
field in which physical training tending towards character develop
ment and better health conditions can be secured. The Emerald ap
preciates this value as well as anyone, and it will remain a staunch
supporter of an efficient intramural program.
The plan to notify each organization at the start of the year of
every detail concerned in the program for the entire school year, as
it is being worked out by the school of physical education, should
culminate in an effective program of activities which will render prof
itable returns to the school, to the organization and to the individual.
That an honest attempt on the part of the administration in this
department is being made to make this program complete in every
detail and systematic in the extreme, is gratifying to the students,
Nothing must detract from the support which will bo forthcoming
in making it more successful in the future.
Know Your University
The series of news articles being printed from day to day in The
Emerald has a two-fold purpose. To acquaint the students with their
own institution is one of its aims; to acquaint friends and prospec
tive students with the opportunities offered here for a higher educa
tion is the other. Both are highly important, and the articles are
being prepared with that idea in mind.
Living within our own little sphere is not desirable for the in
dividual’s sake or for the sake of the institution. If these articles
will present a larger perspective, then they "'ill have more that
fulfilled their purpose. As students of this University, we are in
terested in the welfare of the institution as a whole; the value ol
public service to those who have made it possible for us to reeeivt
the educational advantages offered here is of prime import, and per
sonal selfishness and a narrowness of vision will not be the means ol
promoting this service.
The intense interest which has been displayed in the student
elections this spring bids fair to bring out a student vote that will ex
ceed all former election day counts. This is a healthy sign. The valut
of student activities cannot be overemphasized, and where studen
government has become more and more evident with the growth o
the University, an interest in this government is highly essentia
and productive of a more genuine realization of the responsibilitie:
of citizenship which a University exemplifies along with its othe:
work.
Circus day is said to interest only the kiddies, and the old folk
who are in their second ehidhood. This being true, then where d
the college students come int Yesterday's observations at the circu
grounds saw them coming in in all shapes.

Campus Cynic i
How now, multitudes, how now?
Who be this caterwauling young sprig
desirous of bursting in on our gambols?
Who be this Jay Dee who writes in
verse that ripples, but does not flow?
Hut, hut!
This young fellah speaks of a wooden
horse storming our town. Better be
careful, Jay Dee, or you’ll lose your
little wooden horse. Then what will
you do for toys? There ain’t no more
little wooden horses to be had in the
downtown department stores. And if
you should lose your little wooden horse
—then you’d cry, and cry, and cry—
and blubber.
• • •
No, Jay Dee, best mount your little
wooden horse and gallop around and
enlist in the R. O. T. C. brigade. I’m
sure they need mounted scouts out there
to dash from telephone to telephone
pole and warn the outposts of the on
coming enemy; to ride bravely and gal
lantly with the rattle of tin swords, and
the horrible barrage of chewing gum
filling the air, and the groans of
wounded soldiers (these naughty non
coms do speak so harshly that they
wound sensitive souls) all about; to
draw up before your superior officer,
dismount, clutch your nose, and say
with your dying gnsp: “Something
around here is dead. Sire.”
You might effect a much better
spirit between the various parts of the
Corpse, dashing from barracks to ceme
tery and back again; the connection
has never been as close and cordial as
it should be. Your services would be
invaluable.
Or, Jav Dee, you might prepare to
lend the legion of sad and sobbing mor
tals who will on Friday next troop
slowly down the pathways chanting
that pathetic little ditty, “Left, left,
we ran for the office but—left, left.”
That will be a noble procession to lead,
and your little wooden horse won’t
have to walk very fast to keep in front.
It can stand on its head, play ring
around the rosy, and do all sorts of
tricks, while waiting for the chief
, mourners to catch up.
Or, Jav Dee, you might start a mod
ern Paul Revere service with your lit
tie wooden horse; and, at the expira
tion of each hour, come around and
knock on the class room doors of those
profs who have so mesmerized theta
! selves with the fluid and ululant rise
and fall of their vocal chords as to be
perfectly oblivious of the passage of
! time. The advantage of this service
, would be in the elimination of the tor
rid bawl-out received by the studenl
S daring to notify the prof of the passagt
of this identical time.
Or, Jay Dee, you might sit astridt
your little wooden horse and pose ai
the entrance to the campus as a fitting
, memory of the great battle of Scree
Down Fields, and Flunk Out Meadows
* you and your little wooden horse beim
a a constant reminder of the faith, fidel
ity and everlasting courage of thi
great commanders who direct th^cam
. paign from class room swivel chairs.
Or, Jay Dee. you might gallo]
j around the block and chase the tail o
your little wooden horse, for the ulti
mate good of the University.

An unwritten tradition of the Var
ity makes it lawful, by means fair or
'oul, for the underclassmen to prevent
he juniors from floating their flag
'rom the campus flagpole on Junior day
ind if possible to Bteal, swipe, secrete !
>r destroy said junior flag rather than j
t should float peacefully to the breezes, j
\ bulletin of President Strong’s pre
sented the repetition of last year’s gory
lattle, but there were, nevertheless,
many subtle and deep laid schemes to
forestall the juniors but they were more
than equal to the occasion.
About 9 o’clock Thursday night the
halyards of the flagstaff were secured
and fastened to the top of Villard. The
trap door leading to the roof was se
curely fastened and Ansel Hemenway
and Waldo Adams did guard duty until
daylight when the white and blue
junior flag was flung to the breeze.

Don’t forget that on Friday evening,
May 17, the University of Oregon meets
the University of Washington in joint
debate. The preparation for the U. O.
U. W. track meet on the 18th inst.
have almost crowded out of considera
tion the fact that the Varsity has also
a trio of brain workers prepared to
secure for their University, victory and
honor on the rostrum. It is up to the
rest of us to support them as we are
supporting the athletic boys.

George O. Goodall, ’02, was confined
to his room last week with a severe
attack of rheumatism.
The twelfth annual junior exhibition
of the University of Oregon, held Fri
dav evening in Villard hall, was the
most successful one in the history of
the Varsity. The orations were of un- -
usual excellence, and the speakers ap
peared at their best. A large and fash
ionable audience was present, and the
hall had been especially decorated for
the occasion by members of the sopho
more class.
Following the exercises the class re
paired in a body to Hammond’s Cafe
where an appetizing callation awaited
them. The tables occupied the full
length of the banquet hall and were
beautifully decorated with roses and
clan colon, while the junior flag hung
in graceful folds on the wall. ■

How do they get that way?
ASK the man with the big income his ‘'secret of
success,'’ and you will generally find that it is
some copy-book maxim known to everybody.
“lie sure you are right, then go*ahead.
“If anything is in your way, go over it.”
“Learn something about everything and every
thing about something."
Trite! Anybody could give you as good advice.
It simply means that success is not a problem of
discovering some obscure short-cut. The path is
plain enough, but only alertness, energy and self
discipline will push you along it.
All this holds a special force for you because
what you do at college will influence what you do
afterwards. If you start right, the chances are you
will finish right.
You can begin now to earn your place in the high
salaried class. Each honest day's work in laboratory
and lecture hall will bring you nearer. It will help
you to master the fundamentals of your profession
—so that later on you may handle problems more
easily and make decisions more quickly and surely.
Then and only then, in proportion as you clear
your mind of detail, can you give time and energy
to those larger questions of policy in engineering,
selling, management and finance which fix the execu
tive's market value.
