It killed him.” This quotation was ransacked from a tottering memory and is not verbatim; however, the substance is correct. We print it here more or less as a protest against the recent action of the administration in publishing the names of those students who happened t0 overdraw their accounts at the local banks. Let it be understood that we are not trying to defend these people, nor any other people who so offend against the established business methods of the community. To be young is to be careless, and in nine tenths of the cases of n. s. f. there can be no other excuse than a plain carelessness, a plain shiftlessness in checking up on one’s own finan cial status from month to month, a plain indisposition to face the balancing of a disappearing budget. The remaining tenth have the more legitimate excuse of a genuine error in figures. Perhaps there is a very rare instance of intent to fraud. It takes all sorts of people to make this wicked world. j But the point we wish to make is: the adjustment ^ -- fending individual and the offended bank belongs-exclusively to these two parties. The bank has the entire police power of the city behind it to enforce its legitimate demands if a warning letter will not do the work. The University has no proper place in this transaction. When we go abroad to the commercial world and set up for our selves we will soon find that there is but scant courtesy granted to the fellow who gets slack in his financial obligations to others. When a note comes due it is paid or foreclosed upon; when a bill runs over too long John Jones gets his household goods auctioned off to pay it. There is a very sharp distinction between creditor and debtor, and there are certain face-to-face bargains and agreements we’ll have to arrange—at first hand, and not by proxy. We might as wrell get used to these hand to hand adjustments right now. Also—and this is a major point—our relations with the banks and merchants ought to be private and personal, up to the point where the law steps in. It is no function of the University’s to act as a clearing house for our debts and financial misfortunes j it is no place of the University’s to act as a paternal father. The shel tered theory again. The writer once went into a shop to square up a n. s. f. check. The treatment and scant courtesy he got effectually finished that busi ness. No more n. s. f’s. No doubt the administration justifies its action upon the well greased argument that it’s “for the good of the University.” Well, that argument is something akin to the general welfare clause in the Constitution. The more it’s used, the easier it’s used, until the point comes when it is simply an automatic stopper to argument and con duct, with neither rhyme nor reason. The final welfare of this University depends entirely upon the self-respecting, and entirely individual-acting members who learn to conduct their affairs first hand.* Spring—Oh Gosh! By golly,something ought to be done about the month of June. When summer comes we want a full three months’ vacation—and more. When Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter comes, we want the 1 full, allotted periods of vacation—'find more. But when June comes we want nothing so much as to go away from here. And that last week is the most potent of the three. Suggestion: less school in June. And if it must be taken from the smaller vacations, well, then, it must, j Better to shorten the holiday vacations than to endure the awful drudge of June study! Then there’s summer jobs to be considered. Our friendly rival down the valley gets the best of them as it is. Hello There is n’t anything vitally wrong with our Hello tradition. It’s in about as healthy a state as ever. Boys still maintain that the girls don’t speak first as they should. Girls still say the men wouldn’t answer civilly if they did speak first; some men don’t want to speak —can’t be bothered. Some women don’t want to speak—can’t Ik1 bothered. Host of us just struggle along with our usual grunt, squeak, mumble, tremolo, bark, bay, whisper, or nod. Same old thing. Noth ing wrong with the tradition at all. Not at all . This is the month of April showers and all that old stuff. But' where, oh where in the comma, dash, blank, was the sun during, vacation ? TO KERENSKY: What are their names, And where are they, Those heroes who flash before us? lu the early hours The morning star Flashes brilliantly ou the horizon. At noon it is gone. —A .J.

T. j QiH i(! ‘'■ ■ .v There are some profs -who do a thing That we would call a shame. They take all the hooks out of the Library that are references on some particular subject, to use themselves, And then they go and blame Their students for not having been able to do any research on the sub ject. These profs we’d like to name. • This is the season of the term When good resolves are springing. “I’ll keep my daily work well up,” Each student’s blithely singing. Alas! Ere many moons have passed, These good resolves go winging. It hums with noise and strife. The copydesk, the copydesk, I’m trying to work beside it, but I can’t. How sad is life. This “co-ed“ stuff died years ago. The name has long gone out. Why they should use it, I don't know. It’s something the girls hero just can’t go. The sense of those who call them so, We very gravely doubt. If ever you see, on the old mill race, A man canoeing, and If he’s all alone, and just learning to paddle, And hasn’t it well in hand, You’ll know he has a purpose in view: His pigging program’s planned. In a case like this I’ve just told to you The lady may want to go along, too. But she’s wise if she follows in another canoe. Zoology Instructor Kills Two Birds with One Egg Book on Cooking Possible Outcome of Experiments of Walter Nichols By J. M. T. This is a hard-boiled story. Any new and delicious recipes will be gratefully received. Thanking you in advance. Attention Miss Tingle. The zoology department raised live stock of various sorts, including hens, and is at present conducting experi ments relating to the effect of inject ing albumin upon the albumin, or white of eggs. Every day Walter Nickol,. in structor in the zoology department, takes home eight or ten eggs from this zoological poultry farm. Mr. and Mrs. Nichol boil the eggs—hard boil them, in fact—cut them in two, and weigh the yolks and whites separately, re cording the statistics. After that— well, arises the necessity for new and delicious recipes for the use of hard-boil-] ed eggs. | “We eat them deviled, and in salad, i and creamed,” Mr. Nichol began glib- : lv, when he was asked about it, “andj all sorts of ways.” A new recipe book devoted to hard: boiled eggs might thus be a result of scientific experiments conducted by the department of zoology of the Uni versity of Oregon.
