Piper 'Theodore Janes > ' h >' • '■ . L Is it Oregon Spirit ? I - The University of Oregon was recently granted a chapter of I’hi Beta Kappa, national honorary scholastic fraternity. Still more re cently a chapter of Sigma Xi, national scientific fraternity, was grant ed. These two events point to one fact, namely, that the University of Oregon is recognized as belonging to the upper class of institutions of higher learning. In a recent report to the State Legislature, the University officials were able to show that Oregon ranks far below the average in salaries paid; that the cost for each student to the state is materially below the average for other state or endowed institutions; and that the in vestment per student in buildings is among the lowest in the United States. Thus, it is easy to see that the University must be below the average in her equipment for the training of students. In spite of this, how ever, her record, scholastically, for the past years is undeniable. Ore gon’s graduates have made good, as graduate students in Eastern schools. They have made good as workers and as citizens. The importance of the granting of chapters in such fraternities as Sigma Xi and Phi Beta Kappa cannot be underestimated. It stands as real evidence which plainly says, in spite of the inferior equipment with which Oregon’s faculty and students work, the results accom plished will stand the test beside the accomplishments of other older, wealthier and more well known institutions. It is quite evident that there is something on the Oregon campus which cannot be measured in dollars and cents—something that can not be daunted by crowded classrooms, Oregon has a spirit. Let’s Go To the Play Oregon students should be interested in the campus production “The Raggedy Man.” This comedy can truthfully be called a real Oregon product, since it was written by Fergus Reddie, head of our own dramatics department. The members of the cast are all Oregon students, of Guild hall fame—and Guild hall has. won quite a reputa 1 tion for its dramatic productions. It merits the support of us all. More Economy Notes have been sent to the different bouses urging economy and simplicity in the decorations used in the Woman’s building. The stu dents should respond, first, to reduce expenses, and secondly, because the Sun Parlor and the small dancing room are already beautifully j finished. An attractive setting for a dance is already provided with out necessitating the useless expenditure of time and money on elabor ate decorations. • . ■■,'4 t '* What Sophomore did not read vesterdav morning’s Emerald? •. ••• /( * -—- .„ ,l S . o " ° 0 ' Tlie co-eds* have at last almost succeeded in acquiring, a code. - ' We hear that the Seniors have appointed a Pep committee.

LATEST CATALOGS WANTED Registrar’s Office Asks Students for Books with 1928 Announcements An urgent call for University cata logs, the supply of which is depleted, was issued to the students yesterday by Carlton K. Spencer, registrar. All students who have general catalogs of 1921-22 are asked to turn them in as no more will be printed until the final decision in the term semester eoutro versy is made. The decision may not be final for several weeks and it is thought that the catalogs will not be issued for a couple of months. No material for the j books has been sent to the printers. I There are many of these books pro bably not in use, distributed among the | University students. All of these eata- j logs ean be sent out to people who de sive information of the University.

COMMUNICATION To the Editor: Last night I sprinted in the dark to catch a street car and stepped in four mud puddles. These mud puddles were in the edge of the road that splatters the front of Villard with flying yellow water and having completed that job to its satisfaction scatters a large part of the remainder of its liquid content upon the side of Deady. I was going to say “scatters the remainder” but the whole of the remainder never touches Deady. It clings to the trousers of those who run wildly after street cars. There is, 1 must admit, some excuse for the pools that collect along the edges of this road. It is a wad. But I can see no real reason why the minia ture lake should stand at the Deady steps throughout the rainy season. Those gravel walks which are all below the water level can be built up'so they will be as hard and dry as osmosis will allow. One afternoon early in the holidays it had been raining exceptionally hard and the water, as usual, had submerged the trail (it cannot be dignified by the name path—in fact, a great many of the forest trails are much better) that cuts across the lower campus from Deady to Eleventh street. It was sub merged. 1 know for I traveled it wear ing a pair of oxfords. And there in the downpour were three men with a cart pouring gravel into the lake. They poured and poured and finally the trail emerged from the flood. The point is this: It would be much more comfortable for both the pedes trian and the workman if the paths were built up some fine day until they are above the water level. That is, not by a shovel full of gravel here and there, but with a few truckloads put on deep enough to last until the sun makes the lowlands safe. ONE WHOSE FEET ARE WET. OREGON CLUB TO GIVE FORMAL DANCE SOON „ __o 0 Extensive Social Program Planned for Rest of Year; All Men Not in Other Societies Invited A formal dance to be given March - is one of the big events planned by the Oregon club for the coming term, according to Emil Ohio, acting presi dent and vice-president of that organ ization. Informal dances given in con junction with the Y. W. C. A. and uu- i merous hikes will also be sources of entertaiument for all men on the cam pus who are not affiliated with orgaui- \ cations. The Oregon club has had the biggest year of its existence thus far and is planning to engage in all the activities from now on, including all intramural1 sports, in which it has men already list- j ed, and the canoe fete of Junior Week End. “We are beginning our plans for a float in the fete now,” said Ohio, j ‘and expect to carry off the prize in his event.” All men who do not belong to frat- \ ■rnities or other living organizations on the campus are urged to come to the; nestings held every other Tuesday at 1:15 p. m. in the “Y” hut. ' WOMEN'S LEAGUE WILL L Term Plans to Be Outlined at Thursday’s Meeting Women’s League will hold its first regular mass meeting of the term to-! morrow at five o ’clock in Villard hall. At this time many important questions will be brought up. Reports will be re-1 eeived from various committee chair men, and plans for the term will be out lined. Perhaps the most important topic un der discmssion by the League at the present time is a method by which un necessary and unbenefieial clubs and or ganizations can be banished from the campus. It is the consensus of opinion that too many clubs exist that do 'not; serve the purpose for which they were originally formed, and are merely ai waste of time and energy. Women’s League is against forcing freshman j girls into activities only for the sake \ of activities, and plans are under way which will enable freshman girls to get into activities which interest them, and will benefit the girls thelaselves. This will afford room for girls in the activity that they desire, instead of overcrowd ing clubs with uninterested members. Lean Lyment will talk to the women upon the subject of activities. A report will be received from Chloe Thompson, _chairman of the “Co-ed I Code” committee, telling what plans the committee has made for the submis-1 sion of codesj to be judged. Social events, such as a Washington’s birth day matinee dance, a student body dance, another sponsor-sponsee dance, and the weekly teas, will be planned. The foreign scholarship fund is slow ly but surely swelling, according to Miriam Swartz, chairman, and before long final plans for bringing a girl from Europe to be educated on the Ore gon campus will be formed. Part of the proceeds from the Christmas Col lege ball .will be used to increase the scholarship fund, as well as receipts from the sale of concessions at the bas ketball games, according to Miss Swartz. Women’s League will take an im portant part in the entertainment of high school guests during the high school editor’s conference in Eugene, February 2, 3, and 4. A banquet and a style show are among the events be ing outlined to complete the program laid out by the school of journalism. MORTAR BOARD PETITION SENT TO MINNEAPOLIS Convention in February to Decide Fate of Local Organization; Attrac tive Book Is Prepared The petition of Scroll and Script for Mortar Board, national honorary or ganization for senior women, has been ; sent to the national secretary of that organization in Minneapolis in order to reach there by the twenty-ninth of January.

Practices will be held once a week and the work will consist mostly of Ore gon songs and popular women’s ehoral numbers. Further information will be given out at Women ’s League meeting to be held on Thursday afternon.
