Phones Botin ess Manager-961 .Editor ---666 Daily News Editor This Issue Nancy Wilson Night Editor This Issue Leonard Lerwill tWhat Do the Students Think? Although it was kiiown that the faculty was considering a change back to the semester plan the news that the step had been taken was a surprise to most students. Content with the three-term plan and unaware that a change to the old system was imminent, many have the feeling that the problem has been considered almost entirely from the viewpoint of the instructor. In view of the fact that the motion passed by a bare majority The Emerald believes that if the students are strongly opposed to the change, that fact should be taken into consideration before the matter is finally closed. Many of those who believe the semester plan to be more advan tageous oppose the change because they are unwilling to see work disrupted for another year and because they dread the confusion of readjustment which is bound to occur. It is a short-sighted policy which prompts frequent changes, and whatever decision is made should be with the idea of permanency. IIowTever, there are advan tages as w'ell as disadvantages, and should the plan seem extremely desirable, faculty and students would be willing to pay the price. Faculty members are almost evenly divided; but as yet no one has taken the trouble to find out what the students think about it. Are there not considerations which may have been neglected by the faculty, yet of great importance in the mind of the student'! The present plan has been working smoothly and is satisfactory to most students. The proposed change appears to be regarded un favorably, due to the confusion and the feeling that it is not worth the additional effort. But there are many real objections to the change. Perhaps the most important from the student standpoint is that it will make it harder for the student who is working his way through the University and who may find it necessary to drop out one term. Under the semester plan he will be compelled to lose an entire year. And it must be remembered that the percentage of self supporting students at Oregon is extremely high. Encouraged by the brevity of the term, students who are short of money often start the year in hopes of finding a job. They are usually successful and often stay the whole year. Many of these wpuld be discouraged by the longer period. That vacations come at the end of the terms has 'always been a joy to tlie student who wishes to spend his time at home unburdened by the thought of impending examinations. The idea of returning to college after Christmas to face semi-annual quizzes is anything hut appealing. Under the present plan the disruption caused by foot ball in the fall does not affect the work of flu1 winter term. Those who get a had start caused by inevitable demands for time are thus afforded an opportunity to begin again. The Emerald feels that the students have a right to be heard anti is confident that any expression of sentiment will be given consider ation l»y tin1 faculty. The columns of the paper will be thrown open to communications, subject to the usual limitations. It is a matter in which the students are interested, and it should not he considered settled until a comfortable majority of the faculty, backed by student opinion, shall have come to a decision. Some Compensation, at Least Tlie long journey back to Eugene over out-oi'-tlie-way roads which unmy students were iorced to take was not without its compensations. * There is such a satisfaction in t ho tiling, socially. One who has not spent at least twelve hours on the road from Portland is not considered anything at all, and the happiest man in school is a certain young fellow that came from Eastern Oregon and claims to have spent 39 hours and Id minutes eu route. Your Opinion is Wanted The Emerald will assist the faculty to determine the attitude of the students on the change to the semester plan by a straw ballot next Wednesday. Boxes will be placed on different parts of the campus an every member of the student body will be allowed to ex- j press his or her opinion on blanks provided. Bo you favor the three-: term plan or would you prefer to have the year divided into twon _ 1 semesters 7 1. CAMPUS BULLETIN Notices wilJ be printed in this column for two issues only.

TWO FORMER STUDENTS OF UNIVERSITY MARRY Lucile Saunders and Harold McDonald Are United*in New York City on Christmas Day Word was received here yesterday of the marriage of Lucile F. Saunders, an ex-Oregon student, to Harold Mc Donald also an Oregon alumnus, in New York City on Christmas day. Mrs. McDonald attended the University in 1916 and 1917. She was a major in journalism, a member of Theta Sigma Phi, and at one time city editor of the Emerald. After leaving school she worked for the Bend Bulletin, the Salem States man and the Portland Oregonian. She later went on a trip to Central and South America and while in the latter place accepted a position with the Uni ted Press.

She contributed articles to American magazines while there, and lias* had much material published on South Am erica. After leaving there she went to ' New York where she has been working for the United Press again. Harold McDonald was at the Uni versity last year in the school of jour nalism, but is now attending the New i York medical school.

LEMMY GIVEN DONATION Unknown ..Friend ..Presents ..Couches to Staff of Campus Comic Our little “Lemin/” is getting spruc ed up all of a sudden. The little fellow with the big reputation is blossoming out with many new fixtures. The of fice back of the Co-op, where “Lemu el” hangs his derby, has taken on the appearance of a cozy den instead of the littered office of a publication. Only recently two unknown support ers of “Lemmy” presented him with two elegant deep couches, one of them a rich brown leather and the other an antique horsehair. From now on the staff of the humorous publication will park themselves here and let sweet nothings come to them. Besides these, Lemmy has several chairs, three desks, and a typewriter. Also the cohorts of Lemmy are protected from the cold of winter by a keen little electric heater. Lmmy’s domicile has further been beautified by a liberal application of white paint, which obliterates the old red cplor. The humorous gentleman is now waiting for some other admireis to present him with a few rugs, window curtains, and a smoking tray. When these articles are secured “Lemmy” will be snugly installed and promises great things thereafter. LAB FEES PAYABLE LATER Changes in Business Staff Necessary if New Plan Were Adopted Laboratory fees are not being col lected prior to legislation as was an nounced last term. The old plan of paying lab fees several weeks after the beginning of the term is in effect again. The businesp staff found, on further in vestigation, that the payment of lab oratory fees with the payment of inci dental fees would necessitate changes in the business staff that would not make the new plan feasible. Lab fees are, therefore, payable only from January 22 to February 7 inclu sive. ARMENIAN SALE IS SUCCESS World Fellowship Committee Sells Handkerchiefs to Help Armenians 'Last term, .just before examinations, the World Fellowship Committee on the Jregou campus sponsored a sale of liand-made Armenian handkerchiefs, l'he sale was carried on for only a few lays, the samples being shown at the lifferent houses. About eighty-five handkerchiefs were sold and the proceeds amounted to ap proximately one hundred dollars. The \\ \V. C. A. was the headquarters for he sale which was in charge of Helen \ndrews, chairman of the World Fel owship Committee. The handkerchiefs vere made by Armenian women to help upport their families. LIBRARY RECEIVES BOOKS Eightv-two volumes of law have been •eceived by the library during the Christmas holidays. When Judge Fen on of Portland gave his law books to lie University some two years ago they luplicated a number that were already m file. These earlier purchased vol imes were exchanged for the editions ust received from the Bobs-M>rrill Co., if Indianapolis. Fifty of them deal rith "American Bankruptcy,” twenty ire "Rose's Notes of LTnited States Reports,” and eight are “British Rui ng Cases.” The heaviest volume is Annual Annotations 1914-1917,” and he smallest is “General Laws of Ore on. TROY PHIPPS IS WINNER IN CARD TOURNAMENT Hubert Schenck and Hally Berry Axe Defeated; Games Were Conducted by G. and M. Society - The cracker box champion behind the i post-office stove must look to his laur- | els. The last rounds of the pinochle tournament of the G. and M. Society of j the geology department leaves Troy I Phipps as champion. The contest was ! conducted the night before the holi days. Phipps, in the role of a doughty war rior, fought his ponderous battle | against Hubert Schenck and Hally Ber- j rv, survivors of the preceding rounds. Steady playing in a several hour j stretch, clever maneuvers and bluffing that would have done justice to the most skilled small town artist marked the game. Now that the champion has been crowned, other fields of conquest will be sought. Phipps will play Dr. War- j ren Smith, head of the geology depart ment, as a supreme test. Dr. Smith, recognized as a player of unusual abil ity, challenged the winner of the tourn ament. The winner of this match will challenge any outside champion. Phipps is a graduate assistant in physics; Schenck is graduate assistant is geology, and Berry is honor student in geology. Another tournament will be staged this term.

AT REX This afternoon and evening offer the } first opportunities for local motion pic ture lovers to see Tom Mix, the brilliant star, in his latest production, “The Rough Diamond,” at the Rex Theatre, where it opens today.. This photoplay has created a sensation all over the coun try, due to the fact that Mix has stepped out of his well-known Western character portrayals and shown a new and startling genius in the role of a gentleman “ad-, venturer” and as a comedy player. With a supporting cast of such es tablished favorites as Eva Novak, Hec tor Sarno, Edwin Brady and Sid Jordan,; and with a thrilling and romantic story as a background. MARY PICKFORD AT CASTLE In the east supporting Mary Pickford in her new production of “Tess of the Storm Country,” a United Artists re lease now showing at the Castle Theatre, I are four actors who have been actively j jn screen or stage for twenty or more ' rears and two of these four have been donning the grease-paint for nearly a half a century.

Forrest Robinson has been an actor for forty-seven consecutive years while ,lus Saville made his debut forty-five rears ago.
