But the past two years have shown that a new unrest and a new tension is creeping in. The gaps ar$ growing unmistak ably wider and there is danger of a lack of understanding and a lack of cooperation. It may be occasioned by too centralized control and a failure on the part of all to realize the value of the traditional har mony. Only too frequently have evidences of a new unrest been noticeable. It is not too late to check the evil. Perhaps cognizance of the danger and a recognition of its seriousness by all concerned would be the first step. Students have failed to understand the viewpoint of the faculty in one or two affairs, and the attitude of the administration has not been at all times particularly conducive to confidential relations. The whole problem could be ascribed to a lack of frank, open dis cussion. When real causes are hidden and real reasons are cam ouflaged there can be no other result than misunderstanding. Ore gon’s traditional friendly feeling was the result of sincere, straight forward opinions. In view of circumstances it is surprising that there has been so little expressed dissatisfaction. The Emerald firmly believes that there should be no inner circle for the control of student affairs. It believes that except in the rarest cases pertinent problems and discussions of the faculty, the executive council, and the student council should be presented to the students for opinions. It believes that star-chamber sessions and hid den motives have caused more harm to the University than any other one influence. A centralized organization is most efficient for the transaction of business, but care must be taken that those in authority do not forget that they are responsible for their actions. The executive council, although it is supposed to be a; faculty-student-alumni body, cannot be said to represent the students. Its decisions are influenced by a certain group of its members and campus opinion makes not a great deal of difference. Members of the student council are prone to forget that they have been elected as representatives of the students. Their actions are more often prompted by personal motives than by any thought of those for whom they are acting. An incident of this was the reluc tance of the council to give the Emerald permission to print the way the members voted on the recent Campus Clean-up discussion. The only solution to the whole problem of cooperation is more open, frank discussion. The situation has probably been worse this year than ever before, and it may go on getting worse and worse | unless there is a general realization and a general broadening of viewpoints. The present student distrust of the wisdom of dismissing George Bolder is but one example of what may continue to happen under the policy of repression. For the future of the democracy of Oregon, for the assurance j that the old democratic friendly cooperation may be continued, let frank and open discussion take the place of guarded statements and sessions behind closed doors. Caps and Gowns for the Faculty I The 0. A. C. faculty may appear in the academic cap and gown in the various formal ceremonies of commencement if the recommenda tion of the senior class, favorably acted upon by the administration and college councils, meets final approval of the president and board of regents. The move is a splendid one, and certainly will add more dignity to commencement if the faculty, as well as graduates, are uniformed in the regulation cap and gown. Other institutions have adopted this plan, which has had the effect of bringing more faculty mem bers into the academic procession and in the faculty section at com mencement. The cap and gown idea is based on democracy. It puts everyone on an equal plane. This is the reason it has been adopted as a stand ard costume for graduation. Since the senior woman on longer wor ries over her commencement gown, nor the senior man over a grad uation suit, why should the faculty not be relieved of similar anx ieties, it is argued, and thus free to devote their minds undividedly to the purposes of the occasion!—0.

PLANTING DAY NEW PLAN Tour Journalism Organizations Arrange to Beautify Shack Environs Planting Day will hereafter be an annual spring event around the jour nalism. building, the old journalism “shack,” and the University Press building, as a result of a decision reached yesterday by Sigma Delta Chi, Theta Sigma Phi, Hammer and Coffin, the Ad club, the four journalism organi zations at the University. Every spring each one of the organizations will set out a vine, or a climbing rose with suit able ceremonies. It is expected that before many years the three buildings will be adorned with many attractive vines. ANIMAL FILM AT HEILIG That popular old adage, “Truth is stranger than fiction,” was never bet ter exemplified than in the remarkable series of moving pictures shown at the Heilig Theatre last night under the title “Hunting Big Game in Africa with Gun and Camera.” Here for once we find no scenario writer except chance and circumstances and luck, no direc tor save Nature itself, no cast of film favorites, but in their places a charg ing rhinoceros, a giraffe herd, posed ludicrously against the skyline, a fierce ly attacking phalanx of elephants, a strange, mixed company at a water hole. DRAMA APPEARS AGAIN TONIGHT The dance drama given by the ad vanced students in Miss Lillian Stupp’s dancing class, will be presented for the last time in Guild hall tonight. The first presentation of the drama was given Thursday night and was enthus iastically received by a large group of townspeople and University students. Twenty-eight women from the women’s physical education department are tak ing part in the event which is the first of its kind ever staged on the campus. “GRUMPY” HEARTILY RECEIVED The Paramount picture, “Grumpy,” featuring Theodore Roberts, May Me Avov and Conrad Nagel and produced by William de Millo, was given its premiere at the Rex Theatre last even ing and was heartily received by the large audiences. A diamond has been the cause of many a quarrel between sweethearts, but seldom are the circum stances similar to those found in “Grumpy.” The Bright Spot Makes the Betsy Ross Bread The Bright Spot Welcomes Visitors any Day, Any Time No Special Inspection l ime The University Bakery 1 4th and Mill Streets You Can t Miss The Bright Spot CALL JUNIORS TO HELP WITH WEEK-END PLANS (Continued from page on*.) is also assisting with the decorations for the prom.

It is a tale of how love came into the life of the daughter of a South Seas missionary. What better setting for a tale of ro mance than the far away islands of the Southern Pacific. Here is romance in its essence. The very atmosphere breeds romance—the clean, white beaches leaping in the brilliant sun, the tall, waving palms against a glow ing sunset. To the Man in Love with his work money is not the incentive that urges him to attain the heights, but the thoughtful expressions of ap preciation from those who sense the difference between the mediocre and the excellent. In our work we are constantly receiving just such commenda tion and this, far more than the money which merely expresses the cost of a commodity, is the “urge” for us to attain the heights with our creations.

Long Fight Between Ye Pen Scratch A “Colyum” of Opinion Some men put up with a bad cook, others cook for themselves while wise men eat at OBAK’S. ???!!!!!!??? It’s peculiar how great a part of college depends on a good eye. It’s the indespensible organ of the cake hound, the billiard player, the baseball star, the tennis player and the poor fish. ■minium It is not an accident that a majority of college men choose OBAK’S as their favorite hunting grounds. What Some Men Don’t Know That OBAK serves the drinks in town. best cold ocnooi v^ians The rival elans of Eugene and Cor vallis duly shocked this morning at the announcement of the engagement of Pete Pioneer, proitgee of Procter, California’s sculpture and Irona Lady, for many years the most prominent fe male on the O. A. C. campus. The announcement came as a com plete surprise to the friends of the popular couple. It means that some sort of peace terms will have to he drawn up between their respective clans as the two factions have been hostile for a number of years. The former Miss Lady was for a number of years very, prominent on the Corvallis school yard. She was espe cially known for wandering and aes thetic dancing abilities. She gained particular fame by daring the elements both summer and winter, being frigh tened neither by freckles or frost bite. Although the Krier could not find the record of Miss Iona Lady's family she undoubtedly comes from a good essay as her friends all say she always rings true. It is reported that she spent her last year’s vacation on the University of Washington campus, but returned to the country upon violent protest from her clan. Pete Pioneer has for the past several years been Oregon’s most steadfast man. At no time has he deserted his post. Mr. Pioneer admits that his wonder ful endurance is due to his wise choice of cigars. He has bought OBAK Wal lace Havanas thrugh his stay in Eu gene.
