OREGON SPIRIT
IS VITAL FACTOR
Encourages Students to Work;
Fight Is Stronger Now
Than Ever Before
“What ia the matter with Oregon
spirit 1”
This question is being discussed
around the fireplaces and in meetings
of campus organizations. Alarmists
say it is dying; cynics say it is dead.
The rumored illness and alleged de
mise of Oregon Spirit created no little
stir around the Emerald office. Report
ers went scurrying about the campus
searching for opinions. One freshman
scribe is even said to have interviewed
an undertaker.
The Emerald staff now breathes easy.
Oregon Spirit has been found, a little
disguised, it is true, but nevertheless
the same old fight that has won scores
of games and attracted hundreds of stu
dents to the verdant campus of Old Oro
gon.
Oregon Spirit is a thing revamped.
Like the rest of the campus, it has been
undergoing a change. Now it not only
gives the urge to yell at games but en
courages students to work harder in
order that the general grade average
will rise, creating a better sentiment
toward the Endowment Campaign.
It has not forgotten how to create
noise. It simply dons it less frequent
ly and at more opportune times. A rally
is now a true roof raiser, not just a too
regular attempt to divert the campus
mind from its work. Oregon coaches
have noticed the difference and havo
remarked that rallies now have a bet
tor spirit than ever bofore.
Today’s exodus to O. A. C. and last
night’b demonstration proved that Or
egon light is a vital factor in Oregon
life, and show a deeper, more lasting
feeling than ever has been evinced up
to this time.
Oregon light does not foster the pub
lication of weak-kneed “raspberry
sheets” but rather a true sportsmanship
toward opposition camps.
Oregon light is hore und always will
be.

Why Things Happen
“Slang is all right,"
This statement coming from one of
the deans of Xho University is the motif
of n story which will feature in next
Sunday's Emerald, according to Ernest
Haycox, editor.
Art Rudd will give an interpretation
of "Changing Oregon Spirit,” after in
terviewing a number of campus person
alities.
Another article appearing in Sun
day’s pupiy, which will be of juiciest
to a great many readers is, "What a
University Is, Anyhow,” by Professor
Wilkie Collins.
"When Oregon Had One Building"
"ill be as interesting as it sounds, and
many other stories by persons well
known on the campus will go to make
tip this edition, which will be the sev
enth issue of the new addition to the
paper.
Editor 1*1. .1, llnycox expresses himself
as being well pleased with the way the
students have answered the call for
material for this feature stories, and
said that several of the writers ha 1
been attru< .i’'g attention from ma ty
•editors and papa* of tec suite Among
those who have received praise for
their articles he named Clinton How
ard, Ep Hoyt, Jessie Thompson, Kath
erine Watson and Francis Eiuklater.
As Editor Haycox explained, the pur
pose of the Monday Emerald is not pri
marily to tell the news but to tell the
reasons for the things that happen and
what they mean. In this way it is
intended to encourage better literary
material, and if possible, the writing
of good poetry.
RALLY SHOWS SPIRIT
(Continued rrom page oue)
share, I'l.oy have denied themselves all
the good tilings for the Oregon spirit
and is is up to you to back them.
Fight Is Keynote
"We are going to win that game.
The team lias done its share. We "ill
do our lighting on the field ami in the
bleachers and after it is over we'll
come back to the little town and have
our own little celebration.”
More din and applause as the great
ost trainer of them all left the stand.
Then smother, instrtyneutal in building
up the line that ripped'great hunks of
flesh from the torn form of the Cougar,
was called for Hart Mpellinau.
" W. i.aie i bald game. We have a
field of mud and a heavy line to go lip
against. It is up to you to put out the
goods, Hot behind the team ami you
wid see u mighty good game for wo
have eleven good men."
More din and clamor and, as oue
serif, expressed it in hi> column, the
gang y>cu: “hog yyild." Then Veil King
ltosebiutigh called l’or 1‘rot‘i ssor Howe,
the man yvlio knows the varsity almost
as well as the coaching staff. i
Howe Addresses Students
"We have a good team. 1 don’t know
bow good it is," he said. "1 will find i
out at the game. Take that Oregon I
spirit over there with you and tight on 1
the field and not on the outside and
we will lick the stuffing out of them.”
More noise, more Oskies and Varsit
ies. For one continuous minute Yell
King Rosebraugh signaled the crowd
to hoop it up and it sounded like a cer
, tain inferno let loose. The roof parted
from the uprights and then settled
back, believes the writer. “I’ve got
a hunch that you were just whisper
ing,” said the chief of the yell staff.
Del Oberteuffer, yell king last year,
urged the students to feel the Oregon
spirit and to act in accordance with it.
“Keep with the staff throughout the
game. Don’t hoot and crab the deci
sions of the officials, even if they go
against us. Avoid mob violence and
don’t get on your ear if something
goes against the grain. Sit tight and
wait. Results will come later.”
Parade Is Wild
The parade was a replica of the par
ades of the past, but maybe wilder than
those of former years. Led by the
band and urged to a frenzy by the yell
Htaff, the rooters swarmed down Elev
enth street and invaded the shows
where they demonstrated that their
throats were for other purposes than
drinking pink tea. *At Eighth and Wil
lamette the well known circle was form
ed and the Oskie and the Oregon Chant
split the breeze. Then back to the cam
pus for the pep-fest and then the dance
before the slaughter of the Reaver.
Incidentally this homecoming at O.
A. C. will mean a great deal to a cer
tain Oregon trackman—Glen Walkley
—who has worn the Lemon-Yellow col
ors throughout his college career. This
will be Glen’s last appearance for the
varsity and in respect to one who has
carried the colors of his alma mater
to many a victory, the yell king urges
the rooters to be jn the bleachers by
1:30 to see Glen off to a good start in
his last race.
Y. M. FINANCIAL PLANS

the faculty for this year’s budget of
the ‘Y’,” said Mr. Douglass. “This will
be at first merely the men of the fac
I ulty, as no definite decision has been
reached regarding the soliciting of the
women members. It was suggested,
'OTVover, t! at . sveral women may be
willing to contribute to both the V’. M.
and Y. W., since many of the men,
i through their wives, give to both. One
half of tho subscriptions are already
in because so many of the pledges aro
given annually.”

STUDENTS IN BIOLOGY
Rabbits, Rats and Mice Used in
Advanced Expeiiments
Work on biology research problems
is beginning among the advanced stu
dents in the department, according to
Dr. Harry Beal Torrey, departmental
head.
An attempt to immunize animals
against their own tissues is being made
by Ivan Taylor ami Walter E. Nichol,
graduate students, and Elizabeth Tor
rev and Marion Eby, seniors, under the
direction of Dr. Torrey. The experi
ment follows the general lines of Guy
er’s experiments with rabbits in an at
tempt to use this method in studying
the inheritance of acquired character
istics. Already the animals appear to
have been immunized against the pro
teins of the lens of the eve.
The effect of thyroxin, active prin
ciple of the thyroid gland, is being stud
ied by R. J. McArthur in an experiment j
with white rats.
George Houck and Ralph Poston are
cultivating tissues in vitriol.
Maurice Gerly is working with Dr.
H. B. Yoemn on the embryology of the
rats, which are unfortunate enough to
have their homes in the top of Deady |
hall.
The effect of salts on the growth of
yeast is being investigated by Oscar
Richards. This experiment will have
some o. uct:cal application *o baking
as we'l a. a theoretical value.
\ survey of some of the land around
Eugene is being made by Mrs. W. H.
Maxham, a ijptany major, in conjunc
tion with Hubert Schenck. a geology
major. Mrs. Maxham is taking up the
ecology of plants and animals, while
Mr. Schenck is studying the geologi
cal aspects.
ALUMNI HALL OPEN
TO WEARY STUDENTS
New Plan Is to Aid Students Wishing
Quiet Place for Solitude
and Deep Study
Have you ever gone home away be
hind in your work, a little headachy,
not at all in a inood to be communica
tive, to find the whole house hilarious,
j noisy, and not at all in a mood to be
l sympathetic? Have you ever found ev
j cry scat in the library occupied, no
j room to spread out and study? Or per
i haps you have at some time just want
ed to sit and talk, or sit and think—
I or perhaps, just sit; but where you
| could get away for a moment from hur
t lying feet, excited voices, and faces,
faces, faces!
Alumni hall in the Woman’s build
ing lias a quiet remoteness in the day
time, a softness of red-purple at dusk
I
and the invitation of warm-tinted lamp
lit corners at night. It has no sound
hut the steady, solemn, ticking of the
tall, old clock in the corner. It begs for
dismissal of all other thoughts with its
curious chests, its multitudinous draw
ers and cupboards, its quaint little
desks. What chair does not hold out
its arms to be tried? Each old bowl
commands a touch. Who has not loved
to stand at the windows, to look out
across the campus, twinkling with
lights and with dew, and feel the lux
uriousness of the warmth behind?
The Alumni hall is kept open all the
time and no one is barred.
There has always been a need felt
for a place where one may think or
talk undisturbed, read and study alone,
and for this reason the habit of avail
ing ourselves of the privilege should
be cultivated. One trip to the long,
lovely room and after that there are
to be frequent trips, some alone, some
with a group to sit about the fire on
Sunday at dusk. It’s a great place.
