This is the going of one of our professors and friends—Wilkie Nelson Collins. Mr. Collins has been with us for little more than a year, but in that time lie has made a place for himself that will be not easily filled —that cannot, in fact, be filled by another. Realizing Ibis, when the news that he was not to return was first made known on the campus, a number of students immediately took steps in an effort to secure his retention. A petition requesting his re-election, signed by men and women who have had the good for tune to have been in his classes, was handed to the administration early in the term. Many students who felt that his loss would be serious have made individual attempts in the same direction. This is, in itself, a wonderful tribute to the esteem in which he is held at Oregon. There is one consoling thought m the situation, and that is that | the intellectual interest created by Mr. Collins will not be lost to this I generation of students. His personality is such that a great deal ivill remain with those who have been present at many an informal dis cussion, led by him, both in the classroom and out. It is regrettable that in an institution like Oregon here are not more professors of Mr. Collins’ caliber; and it is more regrettable that when such an institution is fortunate enough actually to secure such a man, ways and means cannot be provided for keeping him. The attitude of the inter-fraternity council in frowning upon expensive favors for parties and dances was well considered. The Emerald favored the idea from the first, and will continue to dis courage tendencies toward inequalities in campus social life. The “Pop” concert given by the orchestra last night is approach ing the right idea in campus entertainments. While most students cannot spare an entire evening for a concert or a lecture they wel come the opportunity to attend something on the hour plan. An organization on the campus of the University of Washington staged a benefit affair for the Astoria relief fund. If people who are always anxious to bring foreign drives here would transfer their efforts to something of this nature the results would be better. Strengthened by sentiment from every corner of the campus, the Emerald wishes to urge again the expediency of hiring Shy Huntington for a three-year period. Tf this can be done Oregon’s immediate future in football will be assured. EDITORIALLY CLIPPED AS OTHERS SEE US It is a common sophism to say that collide stmlouts aro the most critical peo ple in the world lmt we might add, to even ap the account, that they are the most criticized people as well. Really we feel sorry for ourselves and the fear of being trite is all that keeps us from saying that “no one understands us.’’ No matter what it is, if it is something said or done by a college student it has a magnified significance in the eyes of the ordinary person and to say the aver age newspaper man. What would pass unnoticed from anyone else is shouted from the house tops and screamed from the front pages of jounrnals in the most florid of scarlet letters. To be sure we might even be grati fad at this if it weren’t so inconven ient. Tt certainly is a mark of dis Unction hut being ever in the public eye, our conduct must be irreproachable at all times and sometimes this ‘‘cramps our otherwise easy style.” But this is the price we must pay, so bear the ad versity as well as you can, fellow suf ferers.—Silver and Bold. WHERE THERE’S A WILL— Senior Leap week observed at the University of Oregon recently evidently was a success. The women report in favor of it and the men propose that it be made quarterly instead of an annual occurrence. As the name suggests, Leap Week is a period designated for the women to do the asking. During this time it is strict Iv “the thing'’ for the woman to make dates, pay for the entertainment and generally play the gallant to the help less male. Washington women are favored with no such tradition. Except for the Tolo dance and the sorority formats they have to depend upon the customary policy of watchful waiting. The handicap is not serious. Despite their not being allowed the initiative Washington women us ually succeed in being asked by the right person to the right place at the right time. Apparently it is the result rather than the method that counts.—lT. of W. Daily. • ‘SAUK BRl’SH TRAIL’’ AT REX A new sort of western photoplay, chockful of real human beings iu un usual situations is “The Sage Brush Trail,’’ a Hugh B.

'•SKIN DEEP” ON AT THE CASTLE It' you like a good old-fashioned melo drama that is.packed with thrills pre sented in a high class manner without resorting to cheap sensationalism, you certainly will want to see Thomas H. luce’s "Skin Deep,” which opened for a three-days run at the Castle theatre last Thursday. This startling picture had ninety per cent of the audience at the Castl sit ting on the edge of their seats through out the full time the picture was run ning. The other ten per cent were lean ing back in their seats catching their breath. That's the kind of a picture ‘ ‘ Skin Deep ’ ’ is.

LOUISE FITCH BECOMES EDITOR AT WASHINGTON Oregon Woman Is Honor Guest at Association Meeting Miss Louise Fitch, who is well known on the campus and was here until re cently, is editor of the Journal of Am erican Association of University Wo men at Washington, D. C., according to a letter received recently by Miss Mo zelle Hair of the extension division. A reception was given in honor of Miss Fitch and two other national secre taries appointed by the association, of which Miss Fitch is also membership director. “Your telegram arrived yesterday and I smiled a wee smile,” said Miss Fitch in her letter. “I most surely will represent the Eugene branch at the reception tonight!. In fact I will rep resent it as one of the three guests of honor! The party is being given for the three new secretaries, Mrs. Ber nard, Miss French and myself. They made our coming the occasion for the formal house warming. We have sent reports to some hundred newspapers throughout the country, and members and officers within a radius of several hundred miles are arriving for the ev ent. Doesn’t it sound imposing? I talk Eugene and Oregon until they all hate me, I guess. But since the con vention is to be held in Portland next summer and because so few in the east know whether Oregon is a breakfast food or a golf club—I think they need a bit* of educating so I have pictures in my office and talk it on every occa sion. “I am surely having a busy life with so many things to see and hear and do, but I pine for the Oregon space and hills—and RAIN.” Miss Fitch has been national presi dent of Delta Delta Delta sorority and I was the house mother of the local chap ter one year. The house warming she speaks of is in the new building for the American Association of University! Women, which is bong used for the first time. Miss Hair is president of he Eugene branch of the association. There are only three branches on the coast, the other two being at Portland 1 and at Salem. “SCANDAL SHEET” NOT TO BE CHRISTMAS GIFT Grade Report Goes to High Schools, Newspaper Offices, Parents and Faculty Members Christmas vacation usually consider ed as the year’s biggest joy time for University students will have a disap pointment this time in that the exact date of the appearance of the term’s scandal sheet is not known, nor will it be known until twenty four hours in advance, according to a report from the registrar’s office. Instructors have been asked to turn in all grades by Tu esday, December 26. No special system is used in compil ing the grades, except that the names of all students registered are type written out in advance, and as the grades come in they are recorded on these lists and on the yellow study cards. The sheets of names and grades are sent to the University press; the proof is sent back to the business of fice foT correction after which it is rewritten and sent to the office for a second proof reading. Nearly 4000 cop ies of the scandal sheet will be print ed. All high schools and newspaper offices of the state receive the sheet; and a copy is sent to the parents of the students and to all faculty people; while around 1500 sheets will be left on the campus for distribution among students. There is a larger demand' for the scandal sheet at the dose of the i fall term than at any other time, ac cording to the business office; the rea son has been given that the idea is a novel one to so many, and because there [ is, as a rule, a larger enrollment. Students usually make better grades during the spring and winter terms j than in the fall term, because it is not until after the fall term that students really get down to work, TODAY and Saturday That Great Turf Classic i ‘The Kentucky Derby* Starring REGINALD DENNY The Famous Hero of “The Leather Pushers” and Other Heilig Quality Features FOR THIS WEEK ONLY WOODWORTH’S Exquisite Toilet Accessories at Bargain Prices $3.50 Karess Perfume, special, per ounce .$2.69 $2.00 Karess Face Powder, special ..$1.69 $1.00 Karess Talcum Powder, special .86c $1.25 Karess Double Vanity, special .$1.09 $1.50 Karess Compact Powder, special .--.$1.29 75c Karess Rouge, special .~.63c 50c Karess Refills, special ..42c $1.00 Fiancee Face Powder, special .85c $2.50 Fiancee Perfume, special, per ounce .$1.98 $2.50 Fiancee Toilet Water, special.$1.98 $1.50 Fiancee Compact Powder, special...$1.29 50c Fiancee Rouge, special ..42c $1.50 Garden Fragrance Perfume, special, per ounce .$1.29 $1.50 Garden Fragrance Toilet Wkter, special .$1.29 75c Garden Fragrance Face Powder, special .63c 25c Garden Fragrance Talcum, special .-21c In response to many requests from our lady patrons we have added the WOODWORTH line to our already very com prehensive toilet goods department and we suggest that you take advantage of these price reductions—which are for one week only—to buy for your future needs.
