Evidences of Achievement
Athletic letters are being won—cups are being awarded—prizes
are being announced—honor societies are making their recognitions
—as a climax to the year’s work.
Junior Week-end, with its honors and recognitions, marks the
culmination of the many lines of scholastic work and student activ
ity. It should be an inspiration to greater effort in whatever line
is attempted. A new incentive to a more varied interest in higher
standards of achievement should be the result.
The students who have been honored in the various ways have
sometimes been discouraged. It has seemed that their efforts were
hardly worth-while. It has seemed that no one appreciated the work
that they had been attempting.
The inspiration should be the realization that there is oppor
tunity for everyone to in some way prove themselves. For some
there is the possibility to election to Phi Beta Kappa at the end of
the senior yehr, for others the chance for an athletic letter and for
others recognitions of a similar nature. The presentation of the Ger
linger and Koyl cups is an inspiration to all who understand their
meanings.
Let these tangible evidences of achievement be encouragement to
others. Let those who have not yet found their places take heart.
Let those to whom the goal seems too far distant be encouraged. It
is more easily attained than it seems.
Sidelights on Junior Week
end Activities and Traditions
By Mary Lou Burton
Colonel Leador was so glad to get
back on tho campus, after surviving
the reign of terror in Ireland, that he
hugged many of tho girls. His castle
in Ireland having been destroyed, and
a few bullets having whizzed over his
head during his visit there, he says
America is tho safest and sanest place
to live.
Having tried for some time to get a
picture of John MacGregor and Claude
Robinson, the movies have at last been
resorted to. The two of them formed a
friendly group with Dean Straub chap
eroning, and tried to walk toward the
camera in a nonchalant fashion. It
remains to bo seen what the results
are.
Did you ever stop to wonder how
come those green cups the t'rosh burned
this morning? Well, back in 1903 the
t’rosh decided to wear gray caps. Upper
classmen decided they shouldn't. They
fought. They kept fighting more or
less continuously until 11)05 when the
frosh won. Having won they lost in
terest and the custom lapsed. In 1009
the upperclassmen decided the first
year men should wear small green caps
as a badge of their lowly position, and
they made it stick. That’s how come.
fc>een on tin* rumpus; one girl visitor
wearing French heels ami a bouquet of
Cecil Bruner roses at 8:30 in the morn
ing going to the tug of-war. Shades of
Dean Fox-DoCou \s ground slippers!
Note for girl visitors: The individ
ual behind the movie machine isn't a
director from Hollywood looking for
new faces, girls, he's just a plain busi
ness man from Portland. Several hun
dred feet of film have been taken, in
eluding pictures of all the buildings,
spring football practice, yes
terday's baseball game, girl’s base
ball, amt yesterday's sodial events*
such as the entertainment at the Senior
fountain. These supplement former pic
tures, and will be shown at coining
junior week ends and throughout the
state.
Speaking of he Senior fountain,
Aloe Sax was most unlucky at flipping
coins yesterday, lie and an unidentified
freshman flipped to see whether Moe
should be ducked or the frosh paddled.
Moe took heads, lost and was ducked.
Then he took tails, lost and was j
ducked. Moe kept losing for about
six rounds and went under each time, j
Then he won, and the full vigor of his
manly right arm was behind his
paddle as he used it on the frosh.
Yesterday a custom of 17 years stand
ing was broken through the ommission
of “clean up” day on tlio campus. In
the good old days, when the best was
liko the worst, and to all appearances
there were no ten commandments, the
juniors held a flag day each spring.
•From 1890 the opposition of the other
classes went to such picturesque and
extreme lengths that it culminated in
1905 with a real battle. Juniors being
entrenched on top of Heady, the sopho
mores battered down the trap door with
a telephone pole and got the flag. An j
armistice was called for by President!
Campbell, and in 1900 “Campus Day”!
was substituted when this excess energy '
was turned to less destructive uses.
N.^l, men visitors: Those gentlemen
Of such imperious mein stalking about
the campus wearing blue sweaters with
large yellow “0”s are “Order of the
‘O' ” men, who have won this emblem
in some, University sport. This
order was organized in 1908 with 85
charter members. There aro now 50 ac
tive members and -71 alumni.
At five o’clock yesterday 440 high
school guests had registered in the Ad- j
ministration building, which included]
visitors from California, Idaho and ’
Washington as well as Oregon.

DAYLIGHT SCREEN SHOWN
Device Effective for Class Boom Work;
Exhibit at Extension Division
The extension division has on dis
play in the projection room a daylight
screen by means of which it is possible
to show slides under the ordinary light
ing conditions of a room.
“Not only are there a large number
of high schools interested in this par
ticular device for class room use, but
different departments of the Univer
sity are also interested, ” said Alfred
Powers, of the extension division. “For
merly it was necessary to darken a room
to use slides, as in Yillard hall, but
with this screen, it is possible to get
efective pictures by simply drawing
the blinds. Even some of these may be
left up in order that students can take
notes at the same time,” he continued.
The screen was furnished by the San
Francisco office of the Spencer Lens
Co., and will be on exhibit during the
University summer session, in order
that instructors throughout the state
may get an opportunity to examine it.
CHEATING IS GROWING LESS
Copying is Attributed to Fault of
* Arrangements in Seating
“They’re a pretty good bunch of
boys and girls, although mildly addicted
to copying,” said Dean Dyment when
questioned about the activities of the
Discipline Committee. “It has not been
necessary for the committee to func
tion this term,” he went on, “as there
was only one case of cheating to come
up.”
“Cheating has greatly diminished
from lfist year when- there were a
prodigious number of cases.
“They are still tempted to copy in
quizzes, though, but that is often not
the fault of the student as the seating
arrangements are bad and it is some
times impossible not to see the next
paper,” he declared.
TEACHERS WORK ON CURRICULA
In order to insure a better understand
ing of the school curriculum, J. A.
Church, state superintendent of
schools, has asked the State Teachers as
sociation to appoint a commmittee to
bring the problems of the curriculum be
fore the public. The committee ap
pointed consists of representatives from
the University of Oregon, O. A. C., the
iiormal school, private and public schools.

IS COMING!
DR. SMITH TO DELIVER
TALK IN WASCO COUNTY
Geologist Will Leave This Week-end
for Antelope, where He Will Give
Commencement Address
JJr. Warren D. Smith, head of the
University department of geology, will
leave for Eastern Oregon this week-end
where he will deliver a commencement
address before the graduating class of
the Antelope high school. The title of
Dr. Smith’s address will be “Geology and
Our Civilization.”
Geological formations in the vicinity of
Antelope, located in the southern part
of Wasco county, are of notable inter
est, the John Day fossil localities being
not far distant. Antelope is located
[ in a region which was extensively pros
pected for silver and gold some 20 years
ago. Dr. Smith hopes to take a trip out
to the Oregon King mines, a region rich
in silver-bearing ores about 15 miles
south of Antelope in Jefferson county.
Although Antelope is several hundred
miles distant from Eugene and the grad
uating class is small, Dr. Smith points
to his week-end trip into Eastern Oregon
as an instance of the service the Uni
versity can render to the people of the
state. Persons interested in minerals in
that region have already made arrange
ments to have the University geologist
visit their prospects and determine the
value of the minerals.
“THE TENTS OF ALLAH”
“The Tents Of Allah,” the Encore
picture starring Monte Blue and Mary
Alden at the Heilig Theatre, is a tale
of wild adventure and intrigue, fero
cious fighting and passionate romance
as experienced in Morocco by an Amer
ican girl whose wilfulness plunged her
headlong into the romantic sort of an
adventure she thought only existed in
novels.
PREPPERS TAKE COURSES
Many high school students take corres
pondence work for entrance credit into
the University of Oregon and other col
leges, according to Dr. Dan E. ClaTk
of the extension division. Last year
101 students took entrance credit work
and this year there are about 125. These
students are enrolled from all over the
state and many of them are planning to
enter the University in the fall.

EXCLUSIVELY LOOMED
' I 'HE makers of Eagle Shirts have been making good shirts
for fifty-five years. 'They design their own patterns, dye
their own yarns, loom their own fabrics, exclusively used by
them, and give each one a trade-marked name woven in the
shirt-label.
It’s no wonder that the well-dressed men who know good fab
rics want Eagle Shirts. They ask for them by the name of the
make and the name of the fabric as well. It’s a double identifi
cation—a double guarantee.

A “Colyum” of Opinion
Judging from the number of seniors
at Coburg bridge last Monday the cam

ered considerably for a few hours.

them a year.

Making fraternities seems to be one
of the biggest occupations of campus
living organizations. Considering the
latest new bungalow not quite large
enough for the whole campus several
other groups are reported to be pre
pared to make new homes.
In order to be of help to those in
charge of such activities we recommend
that they leave all problems attached to
this job up to the cheapest contractor
in town. That would be the shortest road
to success.
The firm of OBAK have an enviable
record of many years experience in turn
ing hopeless consignments of preppers
into Oregon men of the real, old-fash
ioned variety.
Jn reality we should^ be given a pre
scribed college course in the promotion
of masculine friendship. Such a training
could start by a visit to the Kollege
Ivlub on Junior Week-end. It would aid
in giving them a good conception of
campus life.
When they come back as frosh in the
fall five week-end nights a month should
be scheduled for billiard, pool and rota
tion practice.
They should eat their meals at the
white lunch counter and thus obtain a
standard by which to judge all cooking
thereafter.
They should roam in our historic art
gallery and thus obtain a knowledge of
art appreciation and a good fund of
traditions and University history.
A good lesson in economics would be
soon learned after they had bought their
smokes at our tobacco stand. They
would soon realize that good cigars do
not necessarily come in 50 cent wrappers.
After the Prom
tj Cdmplete the enjoyment of the evening
for the preppers by taking them to the
Oregana. You’re sure of good eats and
congenial company. But what is better,
all your friends will be there.
•J Quick service is just one of the Oregana
specialties. You will find us of help during
the week end in preparing a hurried meal,
either early or late.
