All his life he had heard his parents talk of the time when he should enter college. No one had ever asked him why he wanted to go to college, and if they had he would have been unable to tell. And in the course of time the boy became a senior in high school, and he was bid to the grand spring festivities at the neighboring university. While partaking of the entertainment he learned that most professors are queer, and that the wise prepper says nothing about college courses, and that Greek letters on the doorplate make a vast difference in boarding places. All these things he learned, and he returned to his classmates and talked fluently. The fall camej He went to college because his friends were going and because the life had seemed alluring on his previous visit. He went because he knew that his father’s office, and work—would be the alternative. He was whirled from one house to another during the first week. Men whom he had never seen before called him by his first name. Cigarettes—and shows—and time—seemed as nothing to his entertainers. The boy became a college man. He came to know that eight o’clocks were to be avoided and that afternoon hours were made for matinees. He learned from his fellows that happy is the man who is bid to the most formats. He learned that scholastic honors meant little and that the grade sheet was always worth a laugh. When he became a senior he wore a broad sombrero. He remem bered the things he had learned when a freshman. He took delight in telling the newcomers how the school had changed—and of the terrors of the freshmen during his first year. He told long tales of the past. But down in his heart he knew that the university was an admir able affair. He knew that he had been successful—that freshmen paid attention when his name was heard. He knew that many pro fessors were out-of-date, but he had discovered that he could get by without worrying about them. He knew that he had worked in things which counted in the eyes of the students—and he was content. And so he graduated—thinking college life a most valuable ex perience. College Clippings Picatorial Pump is Invented—A pioa torial pump is the latest invention of the University of Nevada engineers and has already been placed on the mar ket. The machine has a pipe section through which water is pumped. Anglo worms are suspended in one end and small fish are placed in the pipe a short distance from them. Farther back is larger fish and at the rear end of the pipe the largest available fish are se cured. Fish in the first stage try to get the excited worms and in turn are pur sued by the other two stages. When the fish are secured to the casing by a sort of harness the water is accelerated to the rear. U. of Kansas Will Have Varsity Golf—The University of Kansas is to have a Varsity golf team. A team will be picked after a thirty-six hole quali fying round by process of elimination. A student, to be eligible, must have passed “(i hours work during the two previous semesters. Valentino Is Mistaken—“Here he comes,” “Look at the sheik,” “Isn’t lie a darling,” " Look at that marvelous hair,” "lie tried to slip away from us” were shouts of co-eds at Tulaue Univer sity when they stopped traffic by sur rounding and praising “.lolly” Palmer, a fellow student whom they had mis-! taken for the expected Rudolph Valen tino. Palmer was finally saved from; the embarrassment by the police who I rushed to his rescue. Students Expelled lor Ill-Treatment of Froslr—Five students were recently expelled from the University of Ohio as the result of a charge of having shaved the mustaches of several fresh men. The defeudeuts claimed their in nocence on the ground that freshmen could not have mustaches to shave off but their pleas, however, were unsuc cessful. Freshmen Give Freak Answers—In a freshmen rhetoric quiz at South Dakota Slate college ono student answered, “Joss Willard is a noted writer” and “The American Bar Association is a se cret order of bootleggers.” Campus allows no posting of laundry signs—“Laundry signs are not allowed on the University Campus,” was the warning advice given the University of Minnesota engineers who officially posted the signs. The posters had ac cidently been placed upside down and the Chinese symbols instead of reading “The Blue God,” a play to be produced read “Hoo Flung Slug.” Co-eds Discover Means of Travel— Co-eds at the University of Tennessee have discovered the ideal way of travel and saving time on waiting for street cars. They put ou their knickers, jump on a bicycle and away they go.

Dope Indicator Says Exams Drawing Near Twenty-five more days and it will all be over but11 the shouting; and by the way the gang is studying these balmy spring days, it appears that all the voice culture will be done by the faculty. The dope indicator says that there are only about 18 more diems of regular class work, which means that those of use who are still thinking about starting the regular term’s work had better shun the feathers and burn the midnight candlepower for the rest of the spasm. It has long been the custom for those who forget to study until the day before the exams to show up missing the next term. It is rumored that the lib rary still stands in the same place and some of the books are accumulating a dusty coat because of a lack of exer cise. Good hint. The library isn’t re served for any select mob of students. Go early and get good seats well up front. NEW SCREEN IS BOUGHT FOR EXTENSION SLIDES Innovation is Transparent and Permits Pictures to be Shown in Daylight A transparent screen recently pur chased by the Extension Division for the use of speakers sent out from the University makes it unnecessary for the rooms in which these speakers are show ing lantern slides to be darkened. This screen is placed between the project ing lantern and the audience and pic tures thrown on it show up equally well against its dark surface regardless of whether the room is dark or light. The only way in which light entering a room seems to affect the pictures is when it comes directly from behind the screen in the same direction as the rays from the lantern. This was shown in a demonstration of the instrument given in the Extension Division build ing recently. Light falling on the screen from he direction of those view ing the picture does not impair the sharp outline of the characters in the slightest. Because of the corrugated strucure of the screen and its dark green color pic tures in various shades and tints can be brought out very effectively. This is a recent invention put out by the Spen cer Lens Co., and has been in the pos session of the Extension Division for only a few days. It will be kept on the campus during the greater part of the summer term for inspection by the high school principals and instructors who will be taking work in the Univer sity at that time. Accompanying the screen is a pro jection lantern with a number of im proved features including a special fo cusing devise in addition to the one usually provided by a screw in the end of the instrument where the project ing lens in attached. Two slides under neath the instrument make it possible to move his lens back and forth adjust ing the focus. GIRL’S SUMMER CAMP TO BE HELD AT WILLAPA Session Will Open June 1 and end July 9; Trained Physical Education Teachers to Have Charge A summer camp for girls on the coast is being started this year at Willapa Harbor, Washington, and any Univer sity girls interested in going to the beach with a congenial group for the two weeks immediately following the close of college in June may apply now. The camp is being started in response to a demand for a college girls’ camp in the Northwest and has the advantage of allowing girls to enter and leave at auy time, spending as short a period as a week if it is as long as they can ar range to stay. It is situated in an inlet on the southern coast of Washington and has all the lure of the seashore while it is protected from the chill of the Pa cific by being within the arm of the bay of Willapa Harbor. The session opens June 1 and closes . Juh 9 when a camp for younger girls begins under the same auspices. Those in charge of the camps are trained phy sical education teachers who will give corrective work to any girls wishing it and some semi-educational work may be had. Applications should be sent to Miss Dorothy Elliott, Sea view, Washington, who is in charge of the camp and will ^ forward a catalog upon request.

Wheelwright Discusses Status of Far East Nation in Extension Division Badio Talk “To be an equal among equals is the rank of Japan in asking of the na tions of the earth, as one of the five great powers,” declared William D. Wheelwright, last night in the Univer sity extension division radio broadcast, speaking on “Our Commercial Rela tions with Japan.” The broadcast was received on the campus at the Friendly hall receiving set. Referring to the recent anti-Japan ese legislation by the western states, Wheelwright said, “It is our duty to leave the Japanese relations in the hands of the general government, and the states should not attempt to handle the problem.” Selfishness and wealth are the American ideals, was the speak er 's opinion. “Liberty, justice and lasting peace are the Japanese ideals and conception for world democracy,” declared Wheel wright. That Japen is following this policy is proven by her entrance into the League of Nations. In 1919 we turned down our opportunity to enter the concert, of nations, he stated. “Japan may attain a degree of civil ization above our own,” the speaker said, as he indicated that Japan is one of the five great powers of the world at present. In less than 55 years she I TOD AY—Last Day I FOOL YOUR rWIFEh j 1 L6ATR.IC6 JOY I NITA NALD1 I leuns stone *4 ^-PAULINE GARONJ Friend.. Husband., loved., to feed his baby the bottle.

MONDAY and TUESDAY Glenn Hunter Star of ‘ ‘ Merton of the Movies” in “Youthful Cheaters” The CASTLE "Where prices Don’t vary has elimbed from an isolated country to the leading power of the far-east. Discussing the famous Anglo-Freneh treaty, the speaker told his radio aud ience that for the last score of years Japan has policed the orient, and that in 1914 she destroyed the German strong holds in the far-east. “Mr. Wheelwright has been connect ed with Japanese and oriental trade for years,” said Earl Kilpatrick of the extension division as he introduced the speaker, “and is thoroughly conversant with near-east conditions.” NEW CORRESPONDENCE COURSE A course in railway economics, pre pared by Dr. Peter C. Crockatt, of the economics department, is now being offered by the correspondence division of the University. This course takes the place of the railway transportation course given two years ago, and follows closely the one held on the campus. At present there are but two students enrolled. A year is given in which to complete the work, but it may be fin ished in less time, depending upon the amount of work done by the student. TONIGHT and then, never again, will you have a chance to see The Great Broxopp for 75c and 50c (No Tax).

Number 22 Financial Depression Sets In Old Time Piggers Join Merry Ranks at OBAK’S Since most college men have figured up their income tax reports and have found the government owing them all the way from $1,000 up many of the old timers at the pigging game are wondering if they shouldn’t have taken the advice of their non-stepping brothers and have abstained from the queening sport before bank ruptcy papers were served. Now that it is too late for so many of the men it is hardly profitable for us to tell them again that spare time spent at OBAK’S are much more pleasant and less costly at the samg time. Those who are still able to drive away the N. S. F. check collector had better evade the feminine touch that keeps pig gers broke and substitute a program of more time spent at the Oregon Kollege Klub, the rendezvous of the masculine element of the campus. Susceptical are men to the wiles of the maidens fair when spring days are blowing. But one remedy is available, that we know of, and that is to keep out of range of the enemy. OBAK offers an abode insolated from all the fancies of the weaker sex. But by direct comparison, what mill race crusade could compare with an even ing spent around the billiard tables, with good cigars passed ’round, drinks when you’re thirsty, lounging chairs and music when you’re wearyt There is but one danger in spending too much time at OBAK’S lunch counter, that being that your future wife will not be able to come up to the standard of cooking you’ll recognize here. There is no wonder that college men are not more careful about getting home to din ner when they can get such a feed as we put out at a price far below a ay other in town.
