Enter the Poet
What may be considered a real intellectual opportunity will be
afforded the Oregon student body next Tuesday night in the coining
of Vachel Lindsay, who is perhaps the greatest living American
poet. Lindsay is the most picturesque figure in American letters
today. Ilis life is a search for beauty and the expression of beauty.
When one reads, for example, “Congo” there comes easy of visual
ization fat, black bucks pounding on the table. Vachel Lindsay has
been characterized by the New York Evening Post, a conservative
newspaper not easily carried away by sudden enthusiasms as “the
most intensely original and blazingly romatic poet of this gener
ation.”
most intensely original and blazingly romatic poet of this generation.
A striking characteristic of Lindsay’s work is his evident desire
to bring the poet to the station he held in the times when the poet
was a bard. It was this picturesque attempt that won for him
his first audiences for “still there are some who much prefer a song
of sunrise or a verse to the immortal planets to listening while a
parjor poet dissects his most intimate and often unusual complexes.”
The striking originality of Lindsay’s peotry is emphasized by his
original methods of chanting his poems. At Lindsay’s first hearing
by the elite of his own craft the sandy son of Springfield rose to
chant at the request of his hostess, Harriet Monroe, editor of Poetry.
Ilis sophisticated audience settled hack to get what enjoyment they
might out of being bored.
“Fat black bucks in a wine barrel room,
Barrel house kings with feet unstable
Sagged and reeled and pounded on the table,
Pounded on the table,
Beat an empty barrel with handle of a broom,
Hard as they were able,
Boom, Boom, BOOM,
With a silk umbrella and the handle of a broom,
Boomlay, boomlay, boomlay, BOOM.”
His audience suddenly found they were not bored, came to life
and through his eyes they saw the Congo chiefs, and the Congo
itself:
“Cutting through the black,
Cutting through the forest with a golden track.”
v\n immense amount of material has been composed about Vacliel
Lindsay by critics friendly and otherwise, out of it all we may gather
that whatever you may think of him and his work, here is an ar
tist who paints with words and with his voice, and one who is es
sentially worth hearing. Certainly the coming of Vacliel Lindsay
will furnish for a moment an oasis of intellectual enjoyment.
Already one hears rumors of plans for Thanksgiving vacations
which include all or part of the Wednesday preceding and the Mon
day following the recess. Vacation for no one should begin until
after the last class on Wednesday. In many schools, classes are held
on the Friday following Thanksgiving, which makes it impossible for
their students to spend Turkey day at home. This should be con
sidered by students contemplating an unauthorized extension of
their absence from the University.
One of the familiar figures on the campus is a man. armed with
a sack and a pointed stick. With this tool he picks up the scraps of
paper which so frequently mar the appearance of the campus. Some
one is either careless, or thoughtless, or both. Waste paper belongs
in wastebaskets, and not scattered about on the University grounds.
Those five hundred Oregon Hooters at Seattle will need a leader.
Why not send the Veil King!

NEW BIOLOGY BUILDING
TO BE COMPLETED SOON
Ten Lab Rooms; Two Chicken Pens
Near; Not Built for Looks Ac
cording to Head Carpenter
Work is progressing so well on the
structure being erected for the biology
department, to be used for research
work, that it will be ready for oc
cupation in two oi three weeks, ac
cording to W. M. Marshall, head car
penter.
“We have put this up with more
speed than the Gift Building, and it
is not being put up for looks as much
as for comfort. It is probable that it
will be used only as a temporary lab
oratory building, later to be replaced
by a larger and more costly building.”
A fire-proof roofing is being put on
and although not as good looking as the
shingle roof, it is far better because
it does not catch fire so rapidly, as was
shown in the case of the fire-proof roof
of the journalism print shop not
burned during the fire this summer.
This 36 x 56 foot building, with
double halls is to have ten laboratory
rooms; back of this building chicken
runs are to be built, roofed and wired
in. This new building will remove
much of the conjestion of Deady Hall.
“Besides this,” said Mr. Marshall,
“we have put up a sort of garage with
four stalls for cars. One stall is for
the push carts of the campus and one
houses Truck Number Two.”
A board walk will connect this build
ing with the rest of the campus so
that the students will not have to go
around to the front of the building on
Onyx street, in order to gain admit
tance.
FACULTY AND STUDENTS
TO VIE ON SOCCER FIELD
Instructors WU1 Attempt to Mop up
Turf of Kincaid With Team
of Undergraduates
Next Tuesday afternoon the faculty
soccer squad will line up against a
student aggregation on Kincaid field.
1 he ability of both teams is an un
known quantity, so the outcome of the
game is hard to predict. For the past
three weeks both faculty and students
have been out twice a week indulging
in practice.
The faculty under the leadership of
Dr. E. T. Hodge, of the Geology do- j
partment, ought to give their younger j
opponents a run for the long end of
the score. In Gerald Barnes and Peter
< rockatt the faculty have two hard
and aggressive players, the latter be
ing a hooter of exceptional ability. Pro
fessor JusHn Miller of the Law School
will no doubt be called upon to bolster
the line of the instructors, as will Dean
Dyment, the father of soccer at the
University.
Dr. Hodge is desirous of having
enough 1 acuity members show up for
the game, regardless of past experi
ence.
The undergraduate team will be built
around several of last year’s varsity
eleven who have been out for prac
tice twice a week. The veterans out

are, King, Brogan, Byers, Lau and
Burton and they will be seen in the
opening lineup. Although they haven’t
been out, Rus Gowan and “Pat” Ire
lan may be persuaded to help out.
There are several new men of promise
out each night and the rest of the team
will be selected from them.
FRESHMEN GIRLS GATHER
Fireside Supper is Held at Bungalow
for First Year Co-eds
Over a hundred freshmen girls were
present last night at the fireside sup
per given by the freshmen commission
of the Y. W. at the bungalow. The
commission has planned a great deal
for the coming year, beginning with
Christmas service work for little girls
in the State Deaf and Dumb School
at Salem. Helen Gripper, president
of the commission asked the girls to
turn out for all the meetings, as only
through a cooperative spirit can all
the work be accomplished that is
planned for the year.
The girls gathered, ’round a cheery
[fire-place, to get acquainted with their
i fellow freshman. During the^supper,
Catharine Lyon and La Velle%Healey
played and sang a duet, “Moon
beams.” This was followed by more
music, with Edna Nelson playing violin.
EDITORIALLY CLIPPED
A BEAL CONCERT
By scheduling nationally known mu
sical attractions of the caliber of the
concert given by Royal Dadmun, bari
tone, in the auditorium this morning,
the State College does its students a
real service. Mr. Dadmun is a real
artist, and gave his best in his recital
today.
That a person’s musical education
should not be neglected is recognized
everywhere in the field of learning.
To listen to good music is one way to
acquire a certain amount of musical
knowledge. The students are indebted
to the administration of the college for
the opportunity of listening to good
music.
It has been said that the colleges of
the west are superior musically to
those of the east. A concert such as
Mr. Dadinun’s enables us to retain that
superiority.—W. S. C. Evergreen.

Cemetery Citizens Crab Cutups
Interviews with Cemetery Ridge Residents Dis
close Spiritual Dislike of necropolis Pigging
Always in the lead in everything |
from clam c-howdef to matches OBAK
has scooped the world with the first
official interview with the spirits who
make their humble abode on the knowl,
commonly known as Cemetery Ridge.
Through a famous medium, who, by
tlie way, is carrying on a secret seance
with the departed parents of the Ore
gon faculty to determine the- particu
lars of the hazy past of those who
would instruct us, ye editor of OBAK’S ■
paper communicated with Eugene’s
earlier citizens.
“Piggers is the pests of me life,”
one departed brother confided to us.
“Not since the day that I had to keep
awake during my graduation address,
have I been so bored as when some
green headed kid brings his lady friend
past my lot cooing softly into her ear
about the latest changes in the pig
iron market.
“I haven’t felt like throwing a pet
rified bunch of carnations at any one
so badly unless it was the cheap-skate
who owed me ten dollars and never
would pay it and then had the nerve
to come to my funeral and try to
drownd out all the rest of the cere
mony with his weeping and wailing.
“It wouldn’t be so bad even with
the piggers if I had one of those mil
lion dollhr cigars like I used to get at
OBAK Wallace’s in the good old days
on earth. There’s a rule against smok
ing here as the fumes might nip the
lawns and flowers above.”
All the residences of Cemetery Ridge
did not have as pessimistic an attitude
on life as this inmate. We even found
one who was happy that the buneh
had so good a place to go since women
are not allowed in OBAK Wallace’s.
"When I was a student we had no
lawns to walk on or marble slabs on
which to sit. To judge from the fel
low who came over me the other night
all the athletes are spending their stag
time at OBAK’S, just the same as in
my prime. There’s no doubt but that
he was a big track man judging from
the size of the footprint he left.
■‘The conduct in this domain of rest
is most scandalous,” we were told by a
lady inmate of this section. “To think
that I was a University chaperon and
the Dean of Women and that I have
to lie here and hear all the silly chat
ter that goes on above me.
“I was nearly shocked to death the
other night to hear one of the girls sit
ting on my tomb stone admit that she
had thirty-five children. To think that
a college man would be going out with
such a cat. It was only later that I
was saved from a second death for she
turned out to be a practice teacher in
the University high school.
I think that such a practice as com
ing here while we sleep should be
abolished. Send the men down to
OBAK’S when they have no work to
do and let the girls stay home and
knit. That’s what I did and see how
far I got.” We noticed.
“There’s only one thing I can’t fig
ure out,” said another citizen who
rests near the B. O. T. C. temple of
war, “and that is how there happens
to be so many ‘studes’ on the campus
when I understand that Prohibition
has taken our land.”
