“AMERICAN BOY” ASKS FOR TRADITION ARTICLE Increased Interest in College Life Aim of Publishers; Prize of S10 to Be Awarded The students of the University will have another opportunity at remuner ative writing in a request from the American Boy for an article on campus traditions. Eric W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism, has been asked by the periodical to receive the ma terial from the students, who need not necessarily be enrolled in the journal ism department. The purpose of the articles, accord ing to the editor of the American Boy, is ‘‘to provide boys with reading that will be entertaining, that will increase their interest in college by telling them something definite about different in stitutions, and give them a background of information that may save them from embarrassing blunders when they go away to college. We want to know of those characteristic things that put their stamp, year after year, on your student life, the things that are amus ing, picturesque, or gripping in their appeal to fine emotions—and particu larly any traditional custom that you believe is peculiar to your institution alone. “Those of your students who may work on this problem should bear in mind that they are writing for older boys, and should talk to them just as they would talk to the men in their own class.” No single custom should run longer than 400 words. In case of duplication, the part used only would be paid for. In addition to the feature assignment, an editorial of from 200 to 500 words on the “why” (reason or defense, not origin) of traditional customs in col lege, is desired by the American Boy. A prize of $10 will be awarded the author, as well as credit for the writ ing. REVIEW OF ‘PAUL BUNYAN’ * PUBLISHED IN NATION Prof. Carl Van Doren^ of Columbia* Literary Editor, Commends Book Edited by Miss Turney “Paul Bunyan Comes West,” a book edited by Miss Ida Turney of the rhetoric department, has been favor ably mentioned in “Contemporary American Novelists—1900-1920” (Mac millan Company), by Carl Van Doren, [ Ph.D., member of the faculty in Amer ican literature at Columbia university, and literary editor of “The Nation.” This came as a surprise, as no copy of the book which was published on the University press, had been sent to him from the University. The criti cism appeared in a series of articles in “The Nation,” and has just been put in permanent form. “Very wide publicity will be given to Miss Turney’s work,” said Miss Julia Burgess of the rhetoric depart ment, “because this is the deliberate judgment of a specialist in American literature. Mr. Van Doren is one of the chief compilers and contributors to Cambridge History of American Lit erature. His new book will be in libraries all over the country.” In speaking of the loss of vogue of romance dealing with colonial and frontier days, Mr. Van Doren tells of the growth of another sort of roman tic material in the legends of the lum ber camps—“and no discussion of con temporary American fiction can go deeper than the surfaces without at least mentioning that hilarious chap book ‘Paul Bunyan Comes West.’” Miss Turney is a member of Pot and Quill, campus honorary literary society for women. POLLS CORRECTION MADE 1296 Votes Cast Instead of 1269 as First Announced Thursday According to Norton Winnard, chair man of the election board, there are a few disgruntled individuals on the campus who are not quite certain as to how the election totals were reached in the ballot counting Wednesday night. For instance, a slight error in the official returns in the Emerald ! of Thursday gave MacGregor 879 votes, while it should have been 829. Taking the totals of the three presi dential candidates’ votes, the exact number of votes cast would appear, with the corrected figures for Mac Gregor, to be 1291. However, four ballots were found with no vtoes for , the presidential candidates, and con sidering that only one ballot was un nard there is little reason for com plaint. The total number of votes cast was 1296, instead of 1269, as appeared in the news article on Thursday morn ing. JUNIOR CLASS TO HAVE PICNIC DECORATION DAY Lookout Station About 40 Miles Up Willamette Is Chosen as Site; Special Train Chartered Lookout station, about 40 miles up the Willamette river, will be the des tination of the “Junior Special” which will carry the junior class on the an nual picnic which is to be held May 30. The decision to charter a special train was reached at a meeting of the class Thursday in Yillard hall. Special arrangements are being made w'ith the Southern Pacific company for trans portation. “Dates are taboo,” says Tommy Wy att, president of the class, “but may be made after the party arrives on the spot of the picnic.” According to Wyatt, everybody is going for a gen eral good time and the whole class is expected to go. Oak Ridge, the place decided on by the class, is about one mile from Look out station and is one of the prettiest places on the river, says Wyatt. Pish ing, hunting, baseball playing and other sports—even swimming — are looked forward to by members of the class. Will there be eats? This was an swered by Wyatt when he said that the class “has the money to pay for all the eats of the trip.” By starting on the special train at about 8:00 or soon after, it is planned that two meals will be eaten away from home. The time for the start home has not been decid ed, but the railroad company will suit the crowd. The cost of chartering the train has been estimated at from $1 to $1.50 for each student. Wyatt promises that the price will not exceed this amount. COLONEL LEADER IS HERE (Continued from page one) worst thing about Australia is the ho tels. They are the worst on earth.

At one place where they were in New Zealand signs everywhere adver tised the fact that this place was the nearest to the south pole of any place in the world. The party of Oregonians had an interesting time vieing for the honor of having given an Oskie the farthest Bouth. “I beat them all by leaning out over a cliff, which the girls couldn’t do,” said the colonel.
