Piper Leon Byrne Lane vs. Lemmy The discussion of the Lemon Punch aroused by Robert F. Lane in the Emerald of Sunday, and ensuing communications, brings two conclusions: (1) Criticism of the Punch is not such a serious crime, and (2) There is no excuse for bringing the Student Union into the present discussion. Lane’s criticism of the comic shduld not arouse its friends to antag onism. It is generally realized that the magazine is far from perfect, and it would be a narrow-minded person who would resent sugges tions for improvement. Suggestions for changing the type of subject matter are not unreasonable in view of the recent combination of the Washington “Columns” with the Sundodger, its comic. At other colleges it has been demonstrated that humorous magazines are more successful if they devote a Rart of their space to literary and artis tic productions. Regardless of Mr. Lane’s contentions, the Emerald suggests that the Lemon Punch give serious consideration to the problem which he has brought to light. The Punch has, for the most part, been com paratively free from the type of joke “appreciable only by male students,” to which he refers. Its editors have put forth sincere efforts to keep its humor of the better class. But after all there is the consideration that there is a type of magazine, not devoted en tirely to humor, which it might be better to exemplify. Perhaps another branch of the field which has been developed by the Sunday Emerald this year could be worked up by the comic’s staff. Mr. Lane has erred, however, in raising the issue of a Student Union. Whether or not the Lemon Punch contributed anything to ward its erection by its last number, he has committed a tactical blunder by bringing up two issues at once. If he wished to attack the idea of Student Union he should have waited until he has fin ished the present discussion. The Emerald disagrees emphatically with Mr. Lane’s statement that, “For the present at least the Stu dent Union is a wild dream and unnecessary.” The need of a Student Union was never, and never will be greater than at present. And with almost a dozen campus organizations behind it to the extent of a thousand dollars each—it seems more than a wild dream. No, Mr. Lane, if you had limited yourself to a constructive criti cism of the Lemon, Punch the Emerald would have agreed with you. It believes that there is room for improvement of the Punch. And regardless of the effect of the Student Union number of the comic there was at least the sincere purpose, the desire to help a move in which the campus is interested. But it believes that there is much gooil in the Punch, and it is not altogether a Lemon which the student body has picked. The discussion which has been aroused will do the Lemon Punch more good than harm. Work for the Sheriff Disturbers of the peace and molesters of property at the head of the mill race are a menace, and everything possible should be done to apprehend them. When the canoe is punctured with bullets and set adrift on tho river it looks like the time for the sheriff to step in. And in the meantime, students who use the race and the river for canoeing should report all incidents which seem suspicious and should he careful about leaving canoes unwatched for any length of time. FORESTERS WANT MENUS Letter to Miss Lillian Tingle Expresses Bureau's Appreciation of Advice Miss Lillian Tingle of tlie department of household arts recently received a let ter from the government forestry de partment iu which is expressed the ap preciation of the bureau of the members of the cooking classes for the assistance and advice given in the matter of food problems. The classes in food economics and food problems were asked by the forestry service some time ago to give suggestions on the use of supplies with out increasing cost or weight; and sug gestions were asked for menus, lists of dishes ami combination dishes that could be made from supplies at hand, and for . ways in preparing these dishes. The forestry service is to use these suggestions in operating the cooking camps of the bureau. It was, .stated in the letter that further assist ance and advice may be asked of the food classes of the University.

PUNCH AND PERSONALITIES To the editor: It is a natural tendency in any con troversy affecting others to turn to personal qualifications as a means of rebuttal. In the Lemon Punch dis cussion it is not the deciduous quali ties of “a certain Mr. Lane,” which are being argued, but the acid content of Lemon Punch. To permit personal ities to unnecessarily becloud an ar gument is unwarranted, and by inspir ing in some hearts the fear of derisive gossip is an unjust restriction on the free exchange and expression of ideas. So far from being antagonistic to Lem on Punch, the article I wrote should be of great service to that publication, pointing out as it does, many obvious faults, and indicating ways of better ment. Anger and ridicule are not methods of rejuvenation, and Lemon Punch needs rejuvenation. It is only after much consideration that I write this. Whoever will dis cuss the merits of the case, and argue on the facts will be met fairly. ROBERT F. LANE. BOOK GIVEN TO LIBRARY American Jewish Committee Presents Volume by Dr. Joseph Bloch ‘‘Israel and die Volker,” is the title of a book by Dr. Joseph S. Bloch, based on researches into the Talmud and other Jewish literature by Christian scholars, that has been recently presented to the University library by the American Jewish committee, whose headquarters are in New York, through its president, Louis Marshall. The work is published in German and is very recent, no Eng lish translation having yet been made. In a letter accompanying the gift the president of the American Jewish committee states that it is presented in the belief “that those who des^e to learn the truth from dispassionate sources with regard to the many un founded charges that have been made against the Jews, would embrace the opportunity to read this important lit erary coat ribution. ” NEW COURSE MAY BE ADDED Embryology and Heredity May be 'Jiven in Summer Session by Dr. Yocom In addition to many other courses in science to be secured in the campus session of the summer school this vein, tentative arrangements have been made to schedule Dr. Harry B.

These courses are offered subject to a mini mum enrollment of twelve in embyrol ogy.

PAGE ARRIVES FOR FUNERAL Automobile Victim Former House Mother; Swanson not Held Respon sible for Accident No date has yet been set for the fun eral of Mrs. June M. Page, who was killed by an automobile on Saturday night. However, it is known that only the immediate family will be present. Mrs. Marian Page Hamilton of Pros ser,'Washington, daughter of Mrs. Mrs. Page and Mrs. J. L. Creeks of Redding, California arrived here late Monday night. . Mrs. Page, who was a former house mother at the Delta Gamma and Alpha Sigma houses, is an aunt of Edwin and Donald Fraser of the Kappa Sigma fraternity. The car which caused the fatal acci dent, was driven by G. W. Swanson of West Springfield. He was attempting to pass two other machines ahead of him when he struck Mrs. Page, the im pact hurling her to the pavement and dragging her several feet. She was ren dered unconscious by the blow and never recovered. Coroner Branstetter of Eugene, who investigated the accident, decided that Swanson was not responsible, since Mrs. Page’s eyesight was very poor and Swanson was driving at a moderate rate of speed. MANY INQUIRIES RECEIVED Distant States and Territories Write Asking about Summer Courses Thirty-five states in the Union, as well as Alaska, Hawaii, Alberta and British Columbia, are represented in the inquiries received by the extension division in regard to courses in the summer school sessions this year. Wash ington lead3 in the list with a total -.f ‘.0 inquiries, nile California, Idaho aud Montana follow in order, with New York in fifth place. New York, however, is not the only eastern state interested. People from Vermont to Geo-gia, and from Miss issippi, Louisiana, Texas and Arizona have written, asking for bulletins and catalogs. There is also a wide range of applicants, varying from college stu dents, principals, and superintendents, to nurses and social workers. Already 159 persons who were stu dents of the 1921 and 1922 summer ses sions have signified their intention of returning to the University this year. Approximately half that number will take work in Portland. A wide range of interests are shown; seventy-six have expressed a preference for work in education, while forty intend to take English, History, psychology, and so ciology draw the largest numbers of the remaining courses offered by the University. NEW WALKS BEING MADE Workmen Are Busy Clearing Grounds of Construction Waste Most of the work of improvement of grounds and walks on the campus is be ing done in the vicinity of the new journalism and Art buildings, according to H. M. Fisher, superintendent of I grounds and buildings. A crew of men TODAY ONLY Don’t Miss It! All the hot-blooded passions and charm of the mysterious East woven into a fascinat ing love-drama. With the most elaborate settings e*er seen. • • • TOMORROW— LEWIS STONE LEATRICE JOY in "You Can’t Fool Your Wife” The CASTLE Where Prices Never Vary is at work cleaning up around the new structures and the unsightly grounds caused by construction work are rapid ly taking on a new appearance. The old wooden walk on the south side of McClure hall has been torn up and replaced by a graveled walk similar to the one leading from the library to Deady. The ground around the south side of the new Journalism building has been partly sodded and the part that was not sodded has been smoothed down and seeded. The ground around the new Art build ing on the east side is spaded up and is now being put in condition for a new lawn. Sod is being laid on parts of this ground. It will be necessary to make several short walks at different points around the two new buildings to replace wooden planks which now serve that purpose before the work is completed.

It was the same old stuff, baseball, tug-of-war and Prom—and all of them thrilled the Preppers blue. “But what was better, the thing that’ll bring ’em back next year, was the way our eats held up during the whole of the rush. Never have I seen things run so smoothly. The house made a rep for it self among the guests. “Cook is a wonder but she says that the grocer is to blame for the way things went. She says that she always gets 100 per cent co-operation from the Table Supply, but that they are most reliable in the time of a pinch.’’ The Table Supply Co. L. D.
