We and Charlie
Charlie Chaplin, it has become fashionable and none the less
true to admit, is a very great artist and largely because a remarkable
intuition has led him to search out the very truest and the major stops
in the human instrument and subject them to the whimsical treat
ment of a sensitive and subtletized genius. When he sought to cap
italize a very universal experience in “Pay Day”—and capitaliz
ing universal experience is his stock in trade—he pictured himself,
baggy trousers and all, attempting entrance in an unbelievably
crowded car. After a ludicrous display of audacity he forced his way
in but behind him rushed a shoving mob of shoppers and, clutching
wildly at straps, Charlie found himself carried, lifted and squeezed to
the front entrance. There he clung precariously only to lose out
finally as that astoundingly capacious car received another mob
which, crowded at the back, forces him out upon the street. A mar
velously funny thing.
Here at Oregon The Emerald sees a situation quite comparable
except in this—that it lacks humor. The University in this little af
fair is 1 lie street car, the students, who are an appealing lot as a
rule and not ungifted with a real sense of humor, carry Charlie’s
role, while the mob is portrayed by the department of Physical Edu
cation and the E. 0. T. C. acting in unison.
•lust at. present Charlie—no the students—are pretty well up to
ward the front of the car, with pressure from the rear bearing very
hard. What with four and sometimes five hours a week required from
military activity and three hours for physical education, almost a
full working day is lifted bodily each week from out a man’s best
hours.
But now comes the final push, and remember it was that last tragic
shove which put Charlie in the street, with the department of physi
cal education prepared to go before faculty meeting next Wednes
day with the request that three hours a week physical education be
confirmed. Here is the story that goes with it: When the military
training was brought to Oregon the usual three hours of physical
education work was reduced to two for obvious reasons. Then the
war came to an end—that was back in 1918 wasn’t it?—and not long
ago the department got back to the three hour basis through some pro
cedure not uncommonly used. Now Dean Bovard would have the
faculty legalize his three three hour measure!
And now what have we, we who like Charlie cling to straps with
no avail not only pre-war conditions in the P. E. department but the
R: O. T. C. to boot.
Its too much, that’s all, laying aside all matter of principle or
anything else. The II. 0. T. C. is here and it would seem may re
main by virtue of what the Administration terms national expedi
ency. The Emerald had hoped that it might have been thrown out
never to be brought back—but those hopes grow slimmer very day
and it hesitates to say any more about it. It has stated its stand once
and the year nears its close.
But it does not hesitate to state that it thinks that this proposal of
Dean Bovard’s, admirable as it may be for the purposes of his de
partment and. useful as three hours in the gymnasium may be to any
college student, is too much.
Some adjustment should be made. The Emerald believes physi
cal education invaluable, prefers it to military training, believes it
to be one hundred per cent more constructive, but three hours of it
added to four and five hours It. O. T. C. is too much, we repeat, far
too much, out of proportion, unreasonable, and burdensome.
Reasons, for its stand The Emerald thinks obvious. This is an in
stitution of learning. Add to it your military training if needs be
and no way is seen out of it. Give your students exercise—they need
it. but be reasonable. Think of it—eight hours a week!
Dean Bovard, do you happen to remember what Henry Cabot
l.odge said to Teddy Roosevelt about the Panamau dealings? In ease
yon don’t—“Mr. President, I shouldn’t have the slightest taint of
legality about it.”

SCHROFFS WORK PRAISED
Visiting Artist Sees Some Effect of
Impressionist School
'Flint the school of impressionists has
had a decided effect on the paintings
exhibited by A. H. Schroff, professor
of fine arts in the University, is the
opinion of Mrs. Lucy Dodd Ramberg,
portrait artist, of Portland, who has
recently returned from 26 years spent
in Kurope, studying art in France,
Italy and Germany and other countries
while there, and who has exhibited
portrait drawings in Portland the past
year.
The individuality of nature and the
atmosphere expressed in the Schroff
landscapes were features which par
ticularly impressed Mrs. Ramberg, who
was here to attend the formal recep
tion of the Warner collection Mon
day afternoon. Mrs. Ramberg is a
graduate of Wellesley.

MILITARY DEPARTMENT
CONFERS HIGH HONORS
Emerald Sloan Soon to Have
Army Commission
POST TO BE IN REGULARS
—
Don Zimmerman to Be Next
Cadet Major
With the choosing of Emerald Sloan
as honor student in the University mil
itary department for the present col
lege year and the appointing of Don
Zimmerman as cadet major of the Uni
versity R. O. T. C. for next year, the
two greatest honors conferred by the
military department on military stu
dents annually have been conferred.
The custom of choosing an honor
student in the military department was
originated last year by Major R. C.
Baird, head of the military depart
ment. For each honor student, a sil
ver ring, engraved with his name and
the year he was chosen, is placed on
the staff of the colors used in the R.
O. T. 0. parades and reviews. In time
the staff will be completely encircled
with silver rings and Major Baird
hopes to see the ring award established
as a tradition of the department,
i Emerald Sloan, this year’s honor
student, has registered for honors in I
the military department for the last
two years and expects to enter the
regular army, having been recommend
ed to be a second lieutenant. He was'
cadet major during the present year
| and, according to Major Baird, has
put in several hours extra each week on
his military work. He is soon to re
ceive a commission as lieutenant in
! the organized reserves and has written
as his thesis a 15,000 word article on
“Gas Warfare.”
In commenting on the appointment
of Don Zimmerman as next year’s
I cadet major, Major Baird said, “Zim
merman was chosen on account of the
exceptional ability and excellence of
his work in this department as well as
his excellence in other departments of
the school.” Zimmerman has been
captain of Company D in the R, O. T.
C. this year.
Arnold Koepke was appointed honor
student in the military department
last year, and was the first to have a
ring put on the staff of the R. O. T. C. i
colors.

There’s a Hint Here—
We know a fellow that went on a picnic last Sunday. You know
what kind of a lay Sunday was; well this bird had a good girl and
he had a borrowed Indian blanket and he might have had a good
time—^■-but he was sort of absent minded, or ignorant, or goofish,
or something and now the girl wishes that he would jump into the
■Willamette and drown—
Know why!
He forgot to come down to the Peter Pan and stock up on those
salads, sandwiches, pies, cakes and pastries that are so sure to make
a picnic a big success.
