Everyone expects every season td be successful, yet athletes are constantly put at a disadvantage by their participation. If Oregon teams are to be consistently vic torious, as they have been up to the last few years, it will be neces sary for a number of persons to change their attitude toward the place of athletics in a college. In some courses it is almost to the point where professors refuse to pass members of teams wiio miss work while on trips. If higher standards go so far as to prevent trips, the time has come when ath letics should be abolished entirely. It is only a matter of cooperation, and as long as intercollegiate athletics exist it should not be possible to prevent a student in good standing from making trips. Of course the athlete is missing work which be probably will not be able to completely make up, but the only remedy for that is to abolish athletics. Those who care little for the athletic future of the University fail to realize that Oregon would not have the standing she has were it not for her athletic record. The victory over Pennsylvania in 1916 and the game against Harvard in the 1919 season did a great deal for the prestige of the University. Intercollegiate athletics must be emphasized. Richard Shore Smith spoke wise words last fall when he entered a plea for cooperation with the men who serve on the teams. The old tendency was to em phasize athletics at the expense of everything else. We must take care not to go to the other extreme. Easy Relay Letters The chief fight in the campaign to amend the student constitution has developed in the proposal to limit granting of letters in the relay to members of teams which take first place in a conference meet. The relay has heretofore been the easiest road to a track letter, and the proposed amendement was suggested by members of the track activity committee for the purpose of equalizing the awards. It, is the problem to decide whether or not members of relay teams which take second or third or fourth place should receive letters. Under the present system, if four teams are entered in the relay the letter is assured, no matter how slow the runners may be. Although they may have worked hard, it is not fair to the men in the harder events to give them letters merely on the point of service. Doing It Right The plan to build 20 new tennis courts is the thing to which tennis enthusiasts have been looking forward for years. Rather than quibbling about building one or two courts some one with a vision for the future lias suggested doing it on a big scale. And the best part of it is that the courts will be ready for use this spring. No one can object to a small fee, which is necessary to put the plan across. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IS INCREASING IN INTEREST Estimate 70,000 Students Handled on Basis of Eight Months’ Work; New Equipment for Games Interest in physical activities at the University of Oregon is greater this year than ever before, according to the physical education department. The in crease is attributed in main to the addi tion of the now handball and squash courts and golf equipment. Every day the department of physical education alone sends on an average of 350 towels to the laundry. On the basis of eight months of active school work, with -f> days in a month, some 70,000 stu dents will have made use of the gym nasium. The drive which was started last year to interest members of the University faculty and administration in some type of recreative activity has accomplished excellent results. Every day in the week, including holidays and Satur days, the faculty members get together for a game of volleyball, or handball; and twice a week the faculty basket ball class moots, and twice a week :i group of them go out for a game of soccer. Many faculty members are ac tivo in the country club, and spend their spare time on the golf course. Other faculty members will soon take up tennis again. CONFERENCE DATE IS SET Y. W. 0. A. Meeting at Seabeck Will Be Hold June 26 to July 6 Announcement has just come of the date of the Y. W. 0. A. summer con ference at Seabeek which will be held from Juno 26 to July 6. For the last few years the conference has been held in the late summer. Those in charge feel that the earlier date will be much more satisfactory as a larger delega tion will be able to come. The Uni versity of Oregon students will be able to leave right after school, which closes on June 2.'!. The Y. M. 0. A. conference at Sea beck starts on June 15 and closes on the 25. This means that probably no dele gates from here will be able to attend the conference because of school. CAMPUS BULLETIN Notices will be printed in this column for two issues only.

BUILDINGS TO BE READY BY FIRST OF NEXT TERM Art Structure Is Arranged to Afford Light and Space; Will Look Like Mexican Adobe The new Journalism building and Art building will be ready for classes the lirst of next term, says John Hanna, superintendent of construction. Nearly all the work yet to be done is inside, for almost all outside construction is completed. The first or basement floor will be devoted to offices for the instructors in the school, office of the Emerald, and a typing room. On the second floor, half of the space will be par titioned off for a journalism assembly hall. The other half will be a chemis try laboratory and the third story will be used exclusively for chemistry. There will be a large laboratory and three smaller ones for advanced chem istry. Carpenters are now assembling tables which were made especially for the laboratories by a Eugene firm, and moved into the building through Mc Clure hall some time ago. The Art structure is nearly complet ed. but it will be some time before the studio furniture is all in. The stucco on the outside will be all on in a few days. The peculiar appearance of the varied heights of the roof, Mr. Hanna sail! yesterday, is not the result of an artistic plan, but the result of neces sary economy. Since the building is used almost exclusively for studios, each room had to be arranged to give the light kind of lighting and space. To save money, nearly every room was constructed as a unit, and no attempt was made to get an even appearance. However, Mr. Hanna said, when the stucco work is done, the structure will have something of the appearance of a Mexican adobe house, and will be quite unique. The brick art museum will be stuccoed also. WOMEN'S DANCE PLANNED Sponsor-Sponsee Affair Will Take Place This Afternoon in Gym "May 1 have this dance?” and “Can you lead ?” will be momentous questions this afternoon when University women will hold the second sponsor-sponsee dance of the year in the women’s gym. About three hundred women will be there, dancing to Al Meyer’s orchestra, which will furnish music from three until five o ’clock. Uppcrclass girls who cannot go are asked by the committee, headed by j Marjorie Baird, to find substitutes for their sponsees, as all freshman girls should have this opportunity to become acquainted will all the women of the University. The afternoon will be devoted strict ly in having a good time. Mary Clerin, in charge of supplying food, has order ed enough ice cream and crisp cones to satisfy the appetites of every co-ed pre sent. Dainty programs will also be supplied. By this *:.me every sponsor should have found her sponsee, says the committee, for the new list has been posted on the bulletin board in the li brary since Thursday. rilKILLTNG PICTURE AT CASTLE Action!

Membership on the Lemon Punch staff is limited to Hammer anti Coffin members. The officers are John Brad dock, editor, with ’ Francis Linklater and Professor W. F. G. Thacher as as sociate editors; Milton Brown, mana ger, with Knute Digerness as associate manager; Inez Fairchild, advertising manager, and Stuart Biles, art editor. At the annual election near the end of this quarter, an editor for the com ing year will be named. Hammer and Coffin society was pri marily a western organization, as the first chapter was formed at Stanford in 1906, but it has spread to colleges all over the east and west. Lemon Punch, which is published by the Oregon chap ter, was founded in February, 1921 and, with its last issue, celebrated its third anniversary. The publication started with four issues but has increased its activities untli now eight issues a year are printed. “Lemon Punch ranks writh any of the 150 college comics in the United States,” says Braddock, “and a great number of national ads have been flow ing into the office in recognition of the rise of Lemon Punch to a legitimate publication.” NEAR EAST FILMS SHOWN Picture in Story Form Tells of In dustrial Conditions Three reels of Near East relief films entitled “Seeing is Believing” were shown in Villard hall last night during the hour preceding the debate. The picture did not portray the terri ble conditions resulting from the war but showed the relief work that is be ing done in Armenia, Syria, Smyrna and near-by countries. The pictures told the story of a man who by nature of his business was obliged to go to Con stantinople and While there became so interested in the relief work that he enlisted his own services. Hospitals, orphanages, and training and vocational schools were shown at work. The result of American improved machinery and efficient methods were shown in views of many industrial sec tions of the country. One of the purposes of the pictures was to show how dependent the people of these devastated countries are, and how they are doing more than half of the relief work there. The films were brought to the cam pus by the Near East Relief society, and had been shown only five times in Oregon. “GIRL AND THE TRAMP” The management of “The Girl and the Tramp,” which comes to the Heilig March 5, announces that the show is built around a melodrama, with vaude ville actors essaying the principal roles and insuring a laughable performance. The fact that the show has been such a success in the East induced the man agement to bring the attraction to the Pacific coast where this style of en tertainment will be a novelty, owing to a dearth of “tramp” shows these last few seasons. With comedy, drama, high class vau deville feature and pre-war prices char ged for the best reserved seats, “The Girl and the Tramp” is said to be a strong box office attraction and pleas es the public who need a good laugh. Reserved seats will be on sale Saturday at box office. HAROLD LLOYD AT REX Playing today at the Rex, Harold Lloyd is seen at his laughable best in “Dr. Jack,” his late five-reel feature comedy. Given equal prominence on this Rex program, H. C. Witwer’s new Collier’s Weekly stories, “Fighting Blood,” started off last night with “Round One.” The long-heralded presentation of Douglas Fairbanks in “Robin Hood” is to start its engagement at the Rex.

Volume 2 SATURDAY; A." m' Number 13 Hard Feathers from Plymouth Rocks Greet Hubby, Avers Dr. Sliver Prof. W. O. D. Sliver, lately returnee: from extensive studies abroad, has pub lieally announced that the final con clusion to be drawn from his extensive research problems is that marriage has proven a distinct failure for the men of the race. Dr. Sliver arrived on the campus last Tuseday morning at 10 p. m., after two years leave of absence to the heart of Africa, where his extensive studies in the social value of the modern matrimonial system were carried on. His thorough work in this foreign field clearly dis tinguish him as an authority on his sub ject. “Civilization is being shoved down the toboggan towards extinction faster by the gradual dominance of women over men than by any other agency,” the doctor said this morning. “The whole institution is like a great game of cards with poor hubby sitting alone against sharkers who are playing with a stacked deck. Even the chips are red on one side and white on the other. “Before entering his life term he is always leading out with his hearts, stak ing all kinds of bets from theatre tickets, formal dances and many flowers to trol ley rides and canoeing parties against nothing. And he always doses, as the steel eyed young pirate, who has marked him down as another easy mark, in variably plays for nothing but diamonds and his pile. “And in nine times out of nine her paternal partner comes along and lays the prospective son cold with a handful of clubs. There’s no doubt in my mind that the man is lucky who gives up the ship at this point and smiles bravely as the sexton waves his spade hand over his face. “A man is absolutely sure of having a full house after he has played away his pile and has nothing left to bet, so crooked is the deal. But a full house after marriage does him little cheer, for he will either go gray or crazy under tjfa constant demands for antes, unless, of course, he is exceptionally lucky and hap pens on a royal flush from his dead aunt or aunts. “So I am assured that it is a very ap parent fact that 'the .male man has reached his apex as a species and is now slowly being shoved aside by the former slaves—women. And this is all the re sult of the institution of marriage. “I recently saw a pitiful case of wrecked class distinction in an African family. The man and his master had talked of hearts before marriage and, as in the usual case, instead of giving him her heart she gave him a club. “She is very affectionate, always hit ting him for money or with a vase. He told me in greatest confidence that the only time she misses him is when he is not at home. “And she is cruel. For instance she promised him a new mattress and what did she do but stuff it with hard feathers from Plymouth Rocks. “I was more than glad to see,” the doctor concluded, “that the men of the University still have one stronghold where they can get complete isolation from all skirts, for 1 understand that they can eat, drink, smoke, play billiards and talk at OBAK ’S> with no fear of flying roll ing pins or feminine chatter.” For the One Who Cares Easter time suggests photos McKune Studio 623 Willamette Street Kitty Corner from Post Office Phone 741 We’re Too Darn Busy to Write Much of an Ad For if your “Kodak Snaps” aren’t ready, you might get mad. 5—HOUR SERVICE—5 “Snap ’em today ‘See ’em today” BAKER — BUTTON “On the Corner” 10th and Willamette Fone 535 Millinery Openin Saturday, March 3 In the Parlors formerly occupied by Madam Shaffer Medium priced Hats of excellent quality and the most satis fying styles will be carried.
