“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. The
rooms are about seven feet long and
five feet across. There are no elec

business opportunities in the cotton
business which are open to young
Americans.
At one place where they were in
New Zealand signs everywhere adver

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.
