Bcott Night Editor This Issue Earle Yoerhiee A Remedy in Just Remuneration An unmistakable trend in the direction of gifts to the higher edu cational institutions throughout the country from alumni and friends has been noted of recent years and only a few days ago an alumnus of the University of Michigan made an anonymous award to the school of law of that institution of over $5,000,000. A conservative estimate ut the University of California brings forth the fact that an average of $1,000,000 annually is presented to that institution by its alumni. And there are a great many other colleges and universities whose principal source of revenue today is not through a millage tax, which is constantly in a precarious position and places the higher educational institutions at the mercy of financial depressions and the effects of constantly fluctuating markets, but is through the sub stantial medium of gifts from alumni and friends. In this state the gifts have been negligible, and only for the magni ficent act of Mrs. Murray Warner in presenting the art collection, and of Judge W. D. Fenton in donating to the law library, there has been in recent years no substantial gift to the University. The gift of Mrs. Warner coming at this time and creating a new department of the University, is an excellent example of what such an act meins to the University. The Warner art collection has been valued at nearly a quarter million dollars, running well into half the amount which the University receives annually from the thousands of taxpayers in the great state of Oregon. A few gifts of this nature would make possible a reduction of the millage tax. The higher educational institutions of the State are performing a public service, but it is not their desire to drain the tax-paying pub lic to the last possible cent which can be extorted. The question of the State’s duty in the matter of higher education has been dis cussed many times since the cost of maintaining the institutions of higher education have mounted so high. Some writers advocate fed eral aid. others a promissory note plan, both excellent and probable solutions in the end, but there is an immediate return which every graduate of former years should consider seriously. If the University has succeeded in ably fitting these graduates for the positions in life which they now hold, has allowed them to attain even a small degree of success whether it be in the highly specialized line or as a result of a cultural and liberal education, then there must be some compensation due that struggling University. The spirit of loyalty to the University docs not end with a sentimental display of feelings; rather does this spirit go on into the future holding ever be fore the graduates the great service without compensation which it has rendered to each and every one of them. Oregon needs gifts and endowments from its alumni friends who have attained the heights of success through the service which the University has rendered. The immediate solution of the constantly increasing costs of higher education lies in this plan of just remuner ation. Excellent food for thought for the members of the graduating class this year, and to be carried to those who have graduated before. Why Not a Dad’s Day? Oregon now has a traditions committee, created by an act of the students in voting an amendment to the constitution at the recent stu dent election. And now that the committee has been authorized it will not be amiss to suggest that a new tradition which might properly take its place among those which are dear to the students of the Uni j versify, should be that of providing an annual “Dad’s Day.’’ The j fitting observance of Mother’s Day on the campus this year was a! credit to the students and the University and even then many of the i fathers participated. Surely there is a place for Dad on this campus and the creation of a traditional Dad’s Day should not be overlooked. The chance to bring parents to the campus to acquaint them with true conditions here will ultimately benefit all concerned. Dad’s Day might well come in the fall term, for the added incentive of attending one of the big games should provide a part of the entertainment program which would appeal the more to the fathers. Why not the Dad’s Day T SUMMER SESSION POPULAR Many Letters Being Received at " Y" Hut Regarding Room and Board letters from all parts of the state regarding the summer term of the Uni versity are being reeeivi ai bv Mrs. C. It Duntiflh at the campus “V." I’hi \. M t'. A. intends to handle lists of rooming and boarding places for the summer students, as it did at the opening of school last fall. Mr~ Domicile suggested that infor mation about sueh places and also in connection with sorority and fraternity houses would be id' help. CALLAWAY HAS THE MUMPS Had the campus cynic seen Owen Callaw ay, vice president-elect of the studeut body, the other morning, he might have said that he had the “swell head” over his recent victory at the student polling place. The University physician thought differently, however, and now thven is “at home” in Corval lis trying to recover from a had case of mumps in time to put the finishing ’ ueh s on h, junior y ear in eoUSM.

The Crow’s Nest By CABNY “These are times that try men’s souls,” remarked Genghis Kahn as he picked up a slaughter weapon and carved a few classic cornices and Mon golian entablatures in the columelli form architecture of an obstreperous Nuchen tax collector. Having done this, it occurred to Mr. Kahn that he was quite an all-around athlete. So he gave his goodly Da mascus blade several turns on the grindstone, buckled on a bunch of amu lets, held an earnest conversation with his cross-eyed heathen god, gathered a handful of the oriental brotherhood about him, and rode forth unto the fray. All told, he left in his wake the largest Asiatic empire the world had known, three or four chapters of beau tifully romantic history, an amphi dromical race of celestial warriors, and a grandson by the name of Kublai who became the victim of one of Shelley’s dream poems. • • Not many of us, when our sonls are tried in such a manner, take the trou ble to mutilate the chief offender so that his own mother would fail to recognize him. As a rule we are con tent to embellish the zodiac with a few cubits of brocaded profanity and let it go at that. It is well that the barbaric wrath of our forefathers no longer burns within our hearts, im pelling us to violence on many occa sions. If Genghis Khan had lived until to day he would be about 720 years of age. This would give him a record for longevity nearly equal to the rec ords of a great number of our living Indian chieftains, which has nothing to do with the case. Let us suppose, however, that Genghis should come to us as an undergraduate on the Oregon campus. Under the circumstances, he would be quite a venerable gentleman and he might even have to walk with a cane. Following him down “Hello Lane” we would see him tip his hat and ex change a friendly greeting with a starry-eyed co-ed. The very next girl on the path would receive from him a clear, resonant “Hello!” and a bland oriental smile. And she, being a mem ber of the calico aristocracy, would pass him up even as a gambler passes up a white check. And Genghis, being imbued with the modern spirit, would be overcome with great joy and laugh within himself, as we always do under similar circumstances. • • • This is my first and last public ap pearance in support of the “hello tra dition.” I believe in it. I like the friendly spirit of Oregon students. Nothing is better than a whole-hearted “hello,” full of good will, on a rainy or a sunny morning. Unfortunately, there are those among us who are too tired to speak. Others are too insipid to speak, and in this classification are the ones who have never heard of the sacred tradition. Last and lowest are those of the afore mentioned calico aristocracy who are not fit to speak to ordinary folks. It is not expected that this exposi tion of human frailties will alter the map of the world as did Mr. Khan after his unpleasant encounter with the Nuchen tax collector. I am not great ly concerned when some classes of people do pass me up disdainfully. I ’ll probably amble on in my sublimely foolish way without pining away to a diadow. In truth, I take savage de-! ight in the fact that the day ap proaches when the mighty will be tumbled and the proud will plop to j >arth with an audible and renovating rlop.

And then—“no one has ever been able properly to define electricity since its discovery.” And the smile dried on his face!
