“Penny Wise”
When the campus turns over its new leaves, and checks up on
its accounts at the beginning of the new term, it will find in looking
forward to the work of the coming years that it has suffered one
loss which will be felt with especial keenness. 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.

of High School 111
Sliy Huntington, Oregon’s football
coach, left the campus Tuesday night
for Medford where he will be occupied
for the remainder of the month pre
paring the Medford high school foot
ball squad for their big intersectional
clash with the Scott high school eleven
of Cleveland, Ohio, scheduled to take

the purpose of proving their superior
ity and rights to claim the champion
ship of the United States. They will
also play the Washington high school
eleven of Portland on Christmas day.
'•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.
BOSTON STUDENTS HAVE CLUB
In Boston is a club to which all.
young women students of Boston I
schools or private teachers are eligible
for membership. This organization is
known as the “Student’s Union Club.”

have their rooms in neighboring houses
which have been inspected and recom
mended by the club registrar. All share
equally in the privileges of the club
house, including dining room, parlors,
library and study room. This club house
has become the center of Boston stu

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,
