We Think So, Too The amazing ignorance of the college undergraduate regarding public affairs and the issues of the day has been demonstrated many times. Questions designed to find out student knowledge of current events and the problems that the world faces today, have biouglit from undergraduates answers that show a startling fund of misin formation. To relieve the lamentable conditions of the student mind, many of the eastern colleges have instituted courses in the issues of the day. The success of the courses offered during the war on the issues of the conflict, provided the germ from which this new course has developed. The course deals with big national and international questions that are occupying the attention of the peoples of the world. World events are interpreted in terms of motives and relations which can not be discerned through a cursory reading of the daily press. The course develops an interest in the affairs of the day that is maintained after leaving college. It is a big step toward making the kind of future citizen who has an intelligent understanding of the problems that he must come iu contact with in discharge of his duties as a citizen. At Columbia University, where the course is made compulsory for freshman, it has been very successful. Students coming back from professional schools say they profited more from it than from any of their under-graduate courses.—Prom the Kansas Daily. The “Y” Speaks Up (The following article is, in a sense, the rejily of the Y. M. C. A. to the charges of lack of efficiency which have been directed toward it recently. Mr. Karpenstein was elected president of the campus organization a short time ago.—Editor’s note.) By Henry Karpenstein It should be kept in mind that the University of Oregon Y. M. C. A. is a student society and is absolutely con trolled by students who are active mem bers. A cabinet of elected student of ficials and appointed members is in ex ecutive charge of all plans and policies of the organization. These members and officials of the Y. M. C. A. are loyal Oregon students and have always been strong supporters of the move ment for a Student Union or Commons under student body management. The welfare work of the Y. M. C. A. is the natural result of the spirit of service. An organization of this kind cannot help being engaged in social service of some kind. Specifically, how ever, the employment service of the University is being carried on by the Y. M. 0. A. because this method seems to the University administration the most efficient way of handling it at present. The A’. M. 0. A. has absolutely no selfish interest to serve in conduct ing the employment service for the Uni » versify. Whenever the A. S. U. O. or the University administration wishes to have this work handled under some other auspices, the Y. M. C. A. will be glad to shift the responsibility and ex pense. The A. S. U. O., or the Univer sity administration, may be sure of the hearty cooperation of the students of the Y M. C. A. in any plan they may suggest for taking over the employment service. The Hut was built at an expense of at least $8,000 to the Y. M. C. A. during the war to serve the S. A. T. C. Since that time it has been open for use of University of Oregon students and or ganizations with absolutely no distinc tions. But the Hut can serve only tem porarily as headquarters for student re ligious interests. Ultimately a suitable building must be constructed noar the campus to house the student Y. M. C. A. and University pastors, and to further the work of religious education. I n regard to the possibility of donat ing the Hut to the Associated Students as a step toward realization of a Stu dent Commons: Thus far no suggestion from student body officials has been I made in this direction. If the student I body officials and those in charge of ! the Student Commons project feel that ! such action would be of material help : in their plans we shall be glad to have I the matter placed before a business I meeting of V. M. 0. A. members in the near future. Thus the matter will re j reive thorough and sympathetic con sideration and may be passed upon by ; those who should make the final deci sion. Sprigs o’ Catnip By J. M. T. It Is Not Raining Rain to Mo, It’s Raining Angleworms The little leaves burst from the stalks Of trees once dead and sere; The meadowlark now blithely talks Of romance and of cheer; By the dead angleworms that line the walks I know that Spring is here. Classroom in Oregon Hall Timmy keeps the door shut tight, Likewise the windows too, This is a piece of wise foresight Regarding me and you. He is afraid some brilliant thought Might quite escape away, Therefore he shuts his classroom up So as to know they’ll stay. The Ides of March Now is the season of the year When term exams are coming. With students from both far and near The Library is humming. You see they one and all now fear They ’ll pay for weeks of bumming. Worker and Student Have Talk on Education rriemll.t Window-Shade Man Gives Novoi View of Modern Taxpayer By J. M. T. A freshman appeared at the door of my room, where I was sitting at the study-table, reading, and wanted to know if the window-shade man could come in and measure the window that needed a new shade. 1 said he could, | and l sat still and went on reading, and I the window-shade man came in with his tape-line. The window shade man was a friend ly sort of character. " Do you have to study ou Saturday morning?” he asked. “When my son was at the University, they didn’t have to study on Saturday.” It happened to be a story I was read ing, but I didn’t say so. •• Well,” l told him, “you see times have changed, and now they’re telling us that you taxpayers aren’t going to want to send us through college unless wo do an awful lot more work than they used to do in ‘the good old days’.” “How diil you know 1 was a tax payer?” demanded the window-shade man, getting interested and turning around to talk. “Oh, 1 didn’t, but if you aren’t, they're people just like you.” 1 said. “Well, 1 am a taxpayer,” said the window shade man, “and 1 don’t be lieve in cutting down on education, but 1 own such and such a number of hous ! es in such and such a town, and do you know that the money l make during four mouths of every year goes to tax es? One third of all 1 can make. " livery third day," said the window shade man, “ l'm working to pay my | taxes.” I RULES WILL BE ENFORCED Committee Appointed to Promote Re spect for Law; Liquor Rejected Vale. March Id. A number of separ ate, spontaneous incidents indicate that a wave of sentiment is sweeping j American colleges. At Yale, at a stu ! dent meeting, two undergraduate com | inittees were chosen to promote respect for law in the student body. At the University of South Dakota ! a "Bone Dry” club has been formed to i promote enforcement of the Volstead | Act. Poetry BESIDE A STREAM I seated me beside a stream To hear how it, in flowing, cried Between its banks, eternally: I found you laughing by my side. Your voice spoke tender things to me; Your laughing voice, it pleased me well. Full long we sat there, purposing Forever by that stream to dwell. And, as we sat, a star there rose— Fair to you, blood-red to me: Your voice grew silent, and I heard The little stream flow weepingly. —Emily Yeazie. FROST The frost Is the pmre sharp note That quivers When winter first draws his violin bow Across the keen-strung hills. Emily Yeazie. SEA SONG Slow, slow, ebb and flow, Breakers murmur soft and low, Farther out at sea to go, Slow, slow, ebb and flow. Out along the humid beach Ocean’s tidal traces reach. Tender children of the sea, Cast aside in .virile glee By the billows, as they go Slow, slow, ebb and flow. Deep, deep, slip and sweep, Shadows o’er the waters creep, While the breezes sink to sleep, Deep, deep slip and sweep. Far from out the south' and north Shrouding mists come gently forth; Through the dimness wails a loon, Rents the calm with erie tune, Where the distant billows leap, Deep, deep, slip and sweep. Slow, slow, ebb and flow, Evening whispers, soft and low, While the surging waters go Slow, slow, ebb and flow. Not a sound save sea gull shriek Bursting from a white-cap’s peak Or the ever steady lave Of the fast receeding wave, Dreamy waters, so they go, Slow, slow, ebb and flow. —Margaret Nelson. PHILOSOPHY What a pretty moon! So big and round and white. Brother thinks a man is in The moon. Well, men are in most things But the moon’s. too high for them. 1 think. The man in the moon Is God. —Margaret Nelson. MOONLIGHT Under the myrtle a young child sleeps, Tender and undefiled. Out of the heavens a young moon peeps, Fair and pure as the child. Silvery-white is the moonlight path Gleaming down on the sod. Silvery white is the young child’s soul, Mounting that path to God. -—Margaret Nelson. “GROWIN’ PAINS’’ I sing the songs of the other men, But never the song of me. For I am lost in the shifting surf Of some unsounded sea. With every wave I rise and fall, And never once can keep A steady course across the swell Of this unchartered deep. Yet I shall reach that quiet way Along the open sea, ' And singing songs of other men Shall sing the song of me. —Margaret Nelson. HEART'S HAVEN The world is just a little place, A fter all—after all. A bright hearth-fire, a loving face, After all—after all. i The surface shine of Fortune goes And Friendship follows fast, i While Fame sits shaking on a throne That’s all too frail to last. ; But love has gone the quiet road, Broadening day by day. j For real Life takes with placid step The deep and peaceful way. 1 The world is just a little place, After all—after all. ; A bright hearth fire, a loving face, After all—after all. —Margaret Nelson. “THELMA” TO SHOW AT REX “A little pale, rose with a crimson heart.” That was Marie Corelli’s description of her heroine in “Thelma,” her classic romance of the Norseland. “Thelma” is thrilling hundreds of theatergoers at the Rex hteater where it is being shown for an engagement of two days, starting Monday. “THE CHRISTIAN” AT CASTLE Truly one of the notable screen achievements of the year is Goldwyn’s picturization of Sir Hall Caine’s most successful novel, “The Christian,” di rected by Maurice Tourneur, which is the attraction at the Castle theater next week. DOROTHY PHILLIPS AT HEILIG There is no doubt that Dorothy Phil lips, the star of the Principal Picture, “The World’s A Stage,” which starts a three-day run at the Heilig tomorrow, has had more screen successes than any other actress. A Green Shamrock sure helps the creation of a St. Patrick’s Day dance pro gram, like the nifty ones we made for Susan Campbell Hall. But right when we are straining every nerve in the making of something like that, the Emerald advertis ing man comes horniing in to induce us to write an ad —then—that does take all the joy out of life.
