Piper Night Editor This Issue Theodbre Janes Let’s Decide on the Bonfire Some time ago The Emerald advocated limiting the time for the construction of the annual freshman bonfire. The plan did not favor restricting the size to hard and fast dimensions, and provided for a better and more efficient organization. Homecoming is less than three weeks away and some definite plan of action must be decided upon. Some; have suggested that a holiday for the freshmen Thursday afternoon and Friday might be a time saver in the long run. Other suggestions have been made. The University does not want a two-by-four bonfire which will disappoint the returning alumni and visitors. We must have a fire which will reflect the true spirit of the University and help to make Homecoming the best ever. We cannot afford to lose interest in the building of the great pyre which will light the return of the “Old Grads.” The limit we propose is none other than that set by good judgment. Competition between classes to the make the fire the “biggest ever” cannot go on forever. • Each succeeding fire cannot be larger than the last. The limit has been reached. Too much sacrifice is involved. What- is needed is a drastic time limitation and the adop tion of a plan for thorough organization. With this we shall have a bonfire which will be big enough and still not interfere to a great extent with University work and other activities. All-night work for days and weeks in advance cannot be coun tenanced. Wo must see to it that the first year men do not allow work on the bonfire to cause them to make failures in their first term here. It is even asking too much to have them neglect their studies for one week. And the whole problem is caused by the fact that a few men do most of the work, and others are never called upon. The problem was presented to the students more than a week ago and now the time for definite action has come. The right com mittees must be appointed and the right men placed in charge. The Emerald urges that action be taken at once to agree on a general plan in order that the organize!ion may get under way. Committees should see that all sources of material are listed before the class as a whole starts to work. The two Saturdays between now and Homecoming should lx' used to get ready. The main thing is to get every man . in the class to do his share. 'The brunt should not fall on the freshmen in the organizations just because they are the most easily reached. Something should be done immediately to limit the amount of time, without eliminating class spirit. We want a good bonfire, and if the proper steps are taken we can have one without sacrificing so much time and effort as we have in the past. On to Portland! The. game with Idaho in Portland Saturday will be one of the hardest of the season. The dope is about even and if the varsity is to come (mt on the long end of tin' score it will be because the entire student body moves to Portland and yells for the team. Yell King Rosebraugh wants SOU rooters in the rally and in the reserved section. Why not double that Humbert There are more than 2000 students reg istered in the University. back of rooters kept us from winning last year, says Rosebraugh. If the special train is chartered, let’s move down “on masse” and make the return trip a celebration. If the special fails there are plenty id’ ears and motorcycles which can be chartered, and the rate on the railroad is low. Plan now to make the trip. HOMECOMING GRADS TO HEAR OF GIFT CAMPAIGN Endowment Program Will Bo Explained To All Visitors Who Como to Campus for Reunion •• Homecoming offers one of (ho beat opportunities for those connected with the University ami with the gift earn paign to set! the institution to the large numbers of people who have not been intimately :n mounted with it." said l amor T e e. field director of the Uni versity endowment campaign, ycster day. ‘‘Aftiliation of graduates of other in stitutions is planned as one of the home coming eer< monies. The way to do this is to see that they are properly enter turned and to show them the Oregon spirit at its best. “Students can help in this work by explainin'- the endowment program to their alumni friends during the coming vacatn ns,’’ said Toore, "and by w riting theta personal letters inviting them to come back for the reunion. •'Wo .vnnt it understood that there is to be no solicitation during Home looming.

Department | - “Individual Gymnastics” is the now I name given the work formerly listed as “Corrective Gym.” The girls seemed indifferent to corrective work, said Miss i homson, in charge of special gym classes for girls who are unable to take 1 the regular courses in physical educa tion. Individual work and corrective (exercises will secure quicker results than group work, said Miss Thomson. In group work, the girl is apt to allow herself to perform her exercises in a (mechanical manner, with little regard i'for the physical benefits. Physical exams are not completed as (yet. and only 160 girls have been as signed to individual work. Every term ■(between 160 and 200 girls are enrolled in these classes. Miss Emma Jane Gar bade is assisting Miss Thomson in this department of physical education.

A great number of the patients are suf fering from abdominal pains and as far ! as it can be determined it is a form of dysentery. This complaint has also been reported as a common one at O. V. 0. It in no way resembles flu and is separate and distinct from the colds. In some of the houses of residence all the members are suffering with it. It is believed to be caused by unclean food of some nature, as yet undiscov ered. The infirmary dismissed one patient today and admitted one, making a total of four under care. Welcome 1. of 0.

Dunn Bakery Just off Willamette Under new management LINDSAY IS GREAT NEW VOICE OMWINSIRELSY Vagabond Writer First Stormed Literary World by “Congo” By PROF. JULIA BURGESS Vachel Lindsay is the breeziest of all our new American poets. He will blow across our campus and our preeoncep tions of poetry with a tonic freshness of idea and of personality and will leave us invigorated with a new enthusiasm and a new sense of beauty in American life. He is a prophet of the true Am or;, anism—the Americanism of big hearttfd brotherly love and comradesnip. Ilis own heart is big enough to take! in every' ody, *and he made friends all along the way by his lovable simplicity of spirit when he tramped as a stroll ing minstrel throngh the southern and western states -without a penny in his pocket, begging his way and preaching the “gospel of beauty.” His “Handy Guide for Beggars” is one of the most charming volumes ever issued from Vagabondia. Lindsay is a minstrel, a reviewer of the art of spoken verse. It -was at a banquet given in Chicago by the staff of the new magazine “Poetry,” that Lindsay first stormed the literary world by the recitation of his wonderful “Congo.” And there William Butler Yeats, the chief singer of the Irish minstrelsy, acclaimed him the great new voice in American minstrelsy. “The higher vaudeville”—moderniz ing his term—Lindsay calls his new art, which mingles chant and song and act ing. ne sings of the folk and of the folks—of negro, Salvation armist, Chi-1 nese laundrvman; of fireman and speed ing autoist; of the Queen of Sheba and Johnny Appleseed. Lindsay is athletic as well as esthetic. He does not tramp only on level ground, but when he finds mountains in his path he treats them like level ground. Ste phen Graham gives an exciting account of his journey with Vachel Lindsay through Glacier park. Like Peter the Great they measured distances only in straight lines; they scorned the winding trails. Up mountains, down canyons, across rivers they went, heedless of the fact that thus they slept in a gully es pecially designed to become in an in stant a rock avalanche or that bitter 'cold might find them, thinly clad, on the windy knife edge of Red Eagle mountain. The article expresses the belief that there is a special providence that watches over poets, and wre hope that this special providence will watch over Vachel Lindsay this week and bring him safe to Eugene on the night of October 28.
