For the moment the prospect may seem to be fading; perhaps tomorrow it may seem brighter. To some students self-government is something which will come in the course of time; to others it appears too much of a burden and a task which paid help can well assume. Student self-government is no idle and Utopian dream. Oregon already has many features found in the schools which are completely governed by the student body, and the faculty is always ready to listen to the voice of the students in matters concernig student con duct. Student self-government will be a distinct step forward in the life of Oregon. Those who are most enthusiastic for its initiation here must bear in mind, however, that until the student body is ready and competent to administer discipline there can be no self-gov ernment, in the fullest sense of the word. This is not meant to discourage a movement favorable to its adop tion ; it is merely a suggestion of a real problem which must be thor oughly recognized by the exponents of self-government. Baseball ‘ ‘ Hit! Hit! Hit!! ” It is a cry and a shriek. Yet, too ,it is a prayer. There is a swinging of his bat and a nervous twitching of his toe in the dust. The strikes and balls are two and three. The pitcher curls and uncurls. Far away the man at bat hears the entreaties of his Alma Mater, “Hit! Hit!” For one brief moment he is the pivot point of the Universe. He swings. Does he hit? Perhaps. Yet, whether he does or not, the world lives on, contrary to all expectations. After all, the fate of the universe is not tied up in that last pitched ball. If we win, we win. That is all. If we lose, we can always find some good natured ground of justification; for that is one rare privilege reserved for the game of baseball and none other. What realy counts are those grand moments when we can forget all the worry of these busy days, and lose ourselves in the happy con fusion of flying balls and swinging bats; and join our voices and wits to the voices and wits of a murderous crowd who are out for the scalp and blood of the basest of all mortal criminals—the umpire. Today we have a ball game, with plenty of promise for many of those moments of anxious forgetfulness. Today we shall have an umpire. If things go right, we shall also assemble a jolly, blood thirsty horde of bleacherites, mercilessly threatneing the czar of the game with all forms of hideous abuse. What else in the names of all the thousand and sixty three gods on the moon could we ask? —R .G. W. LAW SCHOOL LIBRARY BREWS LEGAL TILT Sanctum of Cold Dignity is Scene of Hot Tilt over Matter of $8.60. Both Sides Have Confidence The law library, serene and coldly in tellectual, has become the center of a hotly contested action at law and two young men on the campus are biting their lips in suspense, waiting for Judge G. F. Skipworth, of the Lane county circuit court, to sound his gavel in the ! auditorium of the Oregon buildig to night. Yes, it was in the library, the holy of holies of the law school that R V. Tay- ! lor alleges that his fellow student, M. K. Dickey inveiged him into a game of three cornered matching with criminal intent, causing him to lose $8.50. Mr. Aubrey 'fussing, attorney for the plain tiff, is sure that he will force the de fendant to pay back the $8.50 and that much more, as prescribed by statute, but Mr. Harry Skyriuan, representing the defendant, only smiles at the con fidence of his opponent. Mr. Dickey will say very little about ! the ease but he smiled (and did he wink?) when he quoted the old proverb, “A fool and his money soon part.” Then he added that the plaintiff is re-! cruiting liis jury in Springfield, where he is well known and has many friends. Mr. Taylor told the reporter on the sly that the defendant is “Sliek—very sliek.” He- adds that this is the first time his good name has been in ques tion and that he may even return to his old trade of journalism if the legal profession leads to such scandal.

Spirit shown by the R. O. T. C. men was commended by the inspection board according to Colonel W. S. Sinclair, commander. Major H. T. Bull, who was here last year, stated that he could see a great change in the spirit of the men. “I consider that the men did very nicely considering the difficulties under which they had to work due to the bad weather”, said Colonel Sinclair, “and I appreciate the interest shown by them.” ”On some of the theoretical work the men, but was due to the fact that some expected”, said the Colonel, “which was not in anyway the fault of the men, but was due to the fact that some of the questions put to them had not been considered as important as the outside work.” A new provision has been made for the R. O. T. C.j which is to the effect that if all the men will get high top shoes. Leggings will be done away with and the shoes will be considered as a part of the R. O. T. C. equip ment. The checks for the 23 men taking advanced work have arrived and may be had at any time. The checks amount to .$24.90 each. I CONTEST DATE CHANGED Winner of the Northwest Oratorical Competition Will Receive $100 The tryouts for the Northwest ora torical contest which were scheduled for Wednesday, April 25, have been postponed until Monday, April 30, ac cording to announcement made by Prof fessor C. P. Thorpe of the public speak ing department, this morning. At that time, they will be held at 4:15 p. m., in Villard hall, and faculty members of the University will act as judges. It is expected that there will be keen interest shown in these tryouts as there will be a prize of $40 given to the ora tor winning in them. The student win ning in the tryouts will represent the University at the final oratorical con test to be held May 20, when the Uni versity of Washington and the Univer sity of Idaho will also compete. At this contest the prize awarded to the best orator amounts to $100. ELSIE FERGUSON AT HEILIG | The feminine admirers of Elsie Fer guson, who, unquestionably, are look ! ing forward with great interest to her appearance tonight at the Heilig, are destined to see this popular player wear some of her most ravishing crea tions in “The Wheel of Life. ’’Besides being a noted stage beauty always ex quisitely gowned, this star has the en vied reputation of being able to wear clothes so distinctively that she excites the admiration of every woman. LOST ARTICLES ARE NUMEROUS Hats amt caps, books, last winter’s j rubbers, umbrellas, gloves and numer ous other articles have been added to the collection of lost and found ar ticles in charge of the janitor at the library. Many of these articles have been turned in to the-janitor by people finding them about the campus, while others were left in the library and col lected by him. Persons who have lost i articles are asked to see the janitor, as he may have them among his collection. DRIVE TO COMMENCE TODAY, * 1 Price to be Reduced if Enough Extra Books are Sold - I A new opportunity will be offered the students of the University to ee eure additional subscriptions for the col lege year book. Students and faculty members can secure additional books by leaving their subscription at the Co-op or giving it to students who are soliciting on the campus. The Eugene business men will be solicited. All ex tra subscriptions are expected to be in by May 1, Myron Shannon, circula tion manager said. Jason McCune said that there would be no extra books at the time the book comes out in the early part of May and advised those students who wanted books to order them now and not to wait until May and be disappointed. Unles^ enough extra subscriptions are turned in the business staff will be unable to reduce the price of the book to $4.50. The reduction of price depends on the number of subscriptions secured in this drive. The printing of the book will be fin ished next Saturday and the binding will be completed about May 11. Due to the splendid cooperation of the prin ters the book will probably be out for distribution a week before Junior week-end. Velma Farnham, editor of the Oregana and her assistants have worked strenuously on the book in or der to get it out early. Miss Farnham has been to Oregon City supervising the printing of the year book. The advertising section of the book has been sold due to the splendid work of Lot Beatie. "WITHIN THE LAW” AT REX Two men are desperately in love with Norma Talmadge as Mary Turner, the heroine, in her gripping First National picturization of “Within the Law,” showing at the Rex Theatre this week starting tomorrow for two days only. One is a forger and the other a rich man’s son. The forger proves his love for Mary when he confesses a murder of which she had been accused. Mary marries the wealthy young man as a means of wrecking vengeance against his father for a wrong the latter had done her. But she loves her “victi mized” husband, and this is what adds zest and complication to the plot. “A BLIND BAKGAIN” AT CASTLE Lon Chaney is a mervelous screen ac tor. If he had never given evidence of that fact before his acting of the dual role in Goldwyn’s fantastic, pseu do-scientific melodrama, “A Blind Bar gain.” disclosed last night for the first time in Eugene at the Castle theatre, undoubttagly would prove the state ment conclusively. It requires, how ever, such a photoplay as Goldwyn had made in “A Blind Bargain,” produced as artistically and directed as intelli gently, to give Mr. Chaney an oppor tunity to score so decisively. Tomorrow starts another feast, Cecil B. DeMille’s greatest, “Adams Bib,” in ten gorgeous acts. BEX FEATUKE FILMED IN TAHITI There is nothing new in sending a motion picture company to foreign lands to film a production. It’s being done now every day. “The Christian” was partly filmed in England; so was “Sherlock Holmes.” “Ben Hur” is to be photographed in Palestine and Italy. But Goldwyn established a precedent when it sent the entire east of “Lost and Found,” the photoplay, which was shown at the Bex theatre yesterday, to the island of Tahiti in the South Seas. This was the first time in the history of the island that an entire company had been sent there to make a feature production. AMNESIA TO BE TOPIC OF TALK Doctor J. Allen Gilbert, practicing physician and lecturer at the medical school in Portland, will address the Hawthorne club and all others inter ested, at the Woman’s building Wed nesday. The main topic of his address will be amnesia. Doctor Gilbert is a Yale man and taught psychology at Aimes. college. He is also a brother of Major W. S. Gilbert of Astoria, who Ss a member of the board of regents. A number of articles on the vision of children have been published by Dr. Gilbert, one of which is a famous study of sleep.
