At the be ginning of the year he was asked to take charge of the Sunday Emerald. The idea was in its infancy—the edition existed only in the minds of one or two. Haycox agreed to take charge, and in the subsequent months spent a great deal of time planning and working on the paper. The Sunday Emerald as it exists today, is largely the result of the genius and ability of Haycox. Throughout the paper will be seen the results of his individuality and his personality. He has succeeded in instilling his idea in the paper to such an extent that his influence wui ’ue feit for some time. The ideals and requirements of the Sunday edition have been shaped by Haycox, and his co-workers have been educated to carry out his work. Haycox was one of the first to appreciate the need of some medium for the expression of ideas, other than that provided in the existing channels. He realized that there were many embryo writers who would fail to live up to their possibilities unless some means of ex pression could be originated. The work of the Sunday Emerald this year has behn largely ex perimental. What has been accomplished is the construction of a foundation on which future editors may build. And as the first editor of the Sunday Emerald, Haycox has been particularly con structive. Y. In the Dangerous ’80s By Margaret Scott ONCE upon a time, to use the ver nacular of the old-fashioned fairy tale, there was a group of students who thought that the mill race was too cold for swimming, and who spent their lei sure moments playing charades, and “ walk-around” and indulged in other innocent and wholesome games. And now you see why “once upon a timo” can be used in this connection— this is just like a fairy tale, except that this story is true, positively, absolutely, and most emphatically true. Dean Btraub says so. And what Dean Straub says on the Orogon campus is accepted with even moro faith than tho ancient Greeks placed in their oracles. Dean Btraub just loans back in his swivel chair, his head resting comfortably in his hand, and talks, and talks, and with in 15 minutes ho can tell you so much about tho years beforo you were born that when you leave you wonder if there isn’t somo mistake in the calen dar after all, and if there really are so many buildings, and trees, and walks on the campus. For the days when 15 cents handed over tho counter placed in your arms a big Plymouth Bock hen, soem mighty real. You can imagine you see tho nightwatchman on his rounds of the four or five coal oil lamps on Willam ette street, blowing out each ono with the aid of a long pipe, bent at the ends, at exactly 10 o’clock. For burning them later than that was needless, and quite expensive. And speaking of ex pense, one pound of white sugar, rep resenting an outlay of 40 cents was kept in a covered glass jar in the home, and brought out for use only ^when “com pany” had come. Everyday, for ordin ary use, brown sugar served tho pur pose, for brown sugar could bo bought at six pounds for a dollar, although sometimes at Tom Hendricks’ grocery store, another pound was included. Tom Hendricks’ place was the only brick building in town, and it stood where the First National bank is now located, its second story being devoted to the activities of the Odd Follows. To remark that times have changed is trite, buth the truth of the statement is borne out by the fact that there is now not a single business in existence in Eugene, which was here when Dean Straub arrived in 1878. No buildng on Willamette street from Sixth to Eleveth street is the same. None of the streets were paved, and Dean Btraub declares that it was impossible to walk across Eleventh street to the University in winter. One had to cross to Twelfth on Patterson, where there were always two planks as a protec tion from the mud. Twelfth, to Heady ' hull, had a passable good sidewalk. The students who gathered at Deady ; from eight until twelve for classes j spent the rest of their time scattered j over town. But not out of town. For j a venture beyond the city limits called i for permission from President Johnson j or from Dean Straub, then secretary of the faculty. The good name of the stu dents was always a consideration. Week ends spent in dancing, and “go ing to shows,” and other forms of pig ging were as unknown as canoeing on the millrace, in tho SO's. There was nothing for the students to do, no place ! for them to go except to church on Bun- j days and prayer meeting Thursday j nights. He invited about a dozen coup les to his home, a four room white house on the lot where his present home is lo cated. This was so successful that another followed two weeks later, and this time it was necessary to move the furniture to the back porch so the 60 odd guests might play all the games in vogue at the time. Dancing was frowned upon, and not tolerated. But organ music accompanied the stu dents’ singing at these informal af fairs, and there followed story telling, and charades. Dean Straub recalls one occasion when quite an argument arose as to whether Baltimore (ball tea more) was correct, or whether the charade was misleading and should have been “ball tie more.” The dictionary finally sottled the question. This game was only rivaled by “walk-around,” which came into play somewhat later, after Villard was added to the campus. The students literally walked around in the assembly hall in couples, some person playing the piano the while, and when the music stopped everybody changed partners. Occasionally—but only occasionally— the students had “wild parties.” Dean Straub tolls of one time when a group of boys stole a horse, a wagon and a keg of beer, and went to Coburg on a bust. The St. Charles hotel, in town, was the scene of a similar party when another group was known to be drinking in a back room. Dean Straub always sought to control these matters without having them become known to the stricter members of the faculty. “Some thought I was strict,” he said, laughing, “but of course 1 wasn't.” And in springtime, when the leaves appeared on the trees by the millraee, rowboats wero taken from their win ter shelter, and oars were dipped in the rather quiet waters. For at that time the race was not so swift. Dean Straub’s son, Vincent, was the first boy to have a canoe on the race. But times have changed—the race was too cold for swimming.

New Courses Next rail (Continued from page one) Three courses in public speaking and a course in pre-legal English for law stu dents are also outlined. The school of journalism has drafted a course in advanced copyreading, two new advertising courses and a course in Trade and Class Journalism and Special Feature Writing as new courses in this school. A re-arTangement of courses in the college of literature, science and the arts tending toward a sounder preparation for professional work has resulted in the preparation of two new curricula prelim inary to work in nursing and in library training. The pre-nursing course of study will be given under the department of medicine and will offer a two year and a three year curriculum, depending on the requirements of the school which the student proposes to enter for the techni cal training. The pre-library training curriculum will be given under the de partment of English and will provide a three year course selected from subjects which prove most useful for librarians. A specially attractive course called “World Civilization” is being contem plated. This course would be given by Prof. George Eebec, former director of the graduate school who is now in Eur ope on a year’s leave of absence. Pro fessor Eebec will return to the campus next fall to become head of the de partment of philosohpy and this pro posed course would be a service one in line with the course in World His tory and World Literature started last year. Four new courses, for the most part dealing with more general historical and economic trends of European his tory, are being proposed by the history department. The department of physical education for women has reorganized its course somewhat to organize the work for ma jor students. Four changes have been proposed. In connection with the department of geology the department of psychology desires to offer an anthropology ser ies. The first course, which will be given by the department of geology, is the Geologic History of Man; the second term will be the Psychology course, Bacial Psychology, the name of which will be changed to iAhnology.; The third term proposes a new course in i Social Anthropology, which would be ; a discussion of influences of different racial traits upon current psycholoj-! gieal problems. Four new courses are proposed in the school of education, dealing with the learning of children, individual differ ences, the philosophy of education and educational tests and measurements. The drama and speech arts depart ment had prepared for a higher course in drama entitled “The Company Ad vanced.” It will be an advanced study of the acted drama and students in this class are given the study of the acted drama and students in this class are given the opportunity of assuming res ponsible roles in public performances and of directing plays. The member ship will be limited. Two advanced courses in mathema tics and two in music are offered in their respective departments and the departments of sociology, zoology, Ro mance languages, household arts, and botany departments have re-arranged courses for the benefit of students. BIG NAMES IN “THE SHEIK” CAST Two really big names head the fine cast which was assembled to play the many colorful roles in “The Sheik,” George Melford’s latest production and Paramount’s contribution to the theat re-going public, which will be shown at the Bex Theatre for two days begin ning Monday, next. Mr. Valentino gained widespread popularity in “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse,” “The Conquering Power” and “Cam ille.” He is perhaps the most ideal type on the screen for the picturesque role of the Sheik, the Arabian desert tribal leader. “THE AWFUL TRUTH” TUESDAY No announcement in the course of the theatrical season could be more welcome than that heralding the coming visit of Ina Claire, among fhe most popular and charming of our younger American actresses.
