Members of the party of visiting students agreed that most American youths failed to appreciate art and culture. But instead of blaming the students themselves, as is usually the case, Tiesler attributes that con dition to the youth of American civilization. To those who had an opportunity to talk with members of the party while they were on the campus, Tiesler’s declaration is especi ally interesting. It is as follows: ‘ ‘ I have visited some of the fraternity houses at your universities and have seen the stupidest and most terrible pictures upon the walls. That kind of art one does not see in European colleges. Another in stance of your disregard for the beautiful was evidenced at the Uni versity of Michigan. The day we were there a football game and a symphony concert were both scheduled to take place. The entire student body, with the exception of one fellow, swarmed through the gates of the football field. And to almost every university man, it appears to me, a basketball game is of far more importance than the League of Nations. “I do not know if it’s fair to blame them, for your civilization is comparativly young. You, who are not even 500 years old, have all the riches of the world, but to gain that wealth you have not found time, perhaps to develop a love for culture.” Tiesler’s viewpoint is, of course, widely different from that of the American student. It is so different that it is difficult to refrain from accusing the European national of jealousy. Nevertheless, he has been truthful in placing the burden on American civilization rather than upon the college students themselves. His statement is interesting, as the opinion of the outsider. A Few Facts The public at times appears to have the delusion that a newspaper is a sort of free publicity agent, which may be utilized without end when the news is pleasant, and which should suppress any item that causes discomfort or annoyance to any particular individual. The Lantern at times suffers from delusions of this kind among the faculty and student body alike. If a speaker is to come to the campus, those sponsoring his appearance wish a story to be printed about him every day. If there is nothing new to tell, the editor is asked to reprint the former story. The public apparently fails to realize that there is other timely news which must appear in the news columns. Then there is the other case; when a disagreeable happening takes place, or when an individual word or phrase may cast an implication upon an individual . The editor is blamed for printing the story and maledictions of all sorts heaped upon his head. The newspaper also has to contend with the person who "does not want publicity,” and who refuses to give out interesting and timely news, with the person who holds back a piece of live news for sev eral days and then wishes it given prominence, and with the person who continually wants his name in the paper. Someone lias said that anyone thinks he can run a ball team or a newspaper. The saying, it seems at times, is only too true.—Ohio State Lantern. SCENES MADE OF CAMPUS Films of Junior Week-end Activities to be Shown in High Schools of State Negatives of the film taken on the campus during Junior Week-end were inspected yesterday afternoon by Al fred Powers of the extension division, Jack Benefiel, graduate manager; John MacGregor, student body president, and Claude Bobii|sou, presidefnt-olect for next year. • The negatives were selected which showed the best scenes. These will be sent back to Portland, where they will be made into the positive and titled. As soon as they arc returned, the pic tures will be shown on the campus. The reel will later be sent to different high schools in the state, so that an idea of I tlu> campus and activities may be given. Besides Junior Week-end activities, such as the burning of the frosh caps, tug of war, track meet, baseball games and painting of the "O”, pictures were taken of Eugene and athletics taken part in by the women's physical edu cation department. Views of spring football practice are included in the reel. JUNIORS SHOULD FILL OUT CARDS All juniors who are planning to grad uate next year should go to the regis trar’s office before the end of spring term and fill out an "Application for Degree” card.

GEOLOGISTS TO GIVE PICNIC Big Event of Evening Is Awarding of Cup to Highest Scholarship Junior The geologists of the University will hold their annual camp-fire party Friday on the banks of Row rover, near Cottage Grove.

If the men run short, the feminine guests of the party will be signed up to take care of the outfield offerings . That night around a roaring campfire, the yarn spinners will reign supreme. Competition as to the best story teller will run high as the familiar phrase, “Well, I remember”—is oft repeated. The picnickers will leave Eugene Fri day afternoon and will drive to their destination. A number of Mazamas from ' Portland will be guests of the geologists. The event of the evening will be the awarding of a cup to the junior who has the highest scholastic standing for the year.

BOURSES TO BE OFFERED | SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS — Specialists Enlisted to Aid in Summer Session Superintendents, principals, supervi sors and high school teacher who come to the campus this summer will find that a special effort has been made to pro vide courses in education to meet their paricular needs. Since the demand for professional courses in summer school is large, one or more specialists are added to the staff of the education de partment each summer. The depart ment feels particularly fortunate in se curing this year the services of Super intendent William J. Cooper of Fresno, I California, and Dr. O. J. Johnson of St. Paul, Minnesota. , Superintendent Cooper comes highly recommended as a progressive school man, and has been a member of the summer staff of the University of Cal ifornia. His courses on “The Super vision of Instruction” and “The Prin cipal” represent his particular inter ests in education and should be of prac tical value to Oregon school men. Dr. Johnson is a specialist in the field of intelligence testing, having had charge of this work in the St. Paul schools for several years. Dr. Johnson will offer a course in educational psy chology and another in intelligence test ing. Both Dr. Johnson and Superin tendent Cooper will provide opportuni ties to a small group of advanced stu dents to do research work. A new feature in the summer work in education this year is the addition of several courses in methods of teaching high school subjects. These courses will be accompanied by a medium sized demonstration class of ninth grade students in the University high school. Members of the methods classes will be expected to observe regularly the teaching of the high school classes as a practical illustration of the princi ples of methods. These classes will be of value both to experienced and inex perienced teachers as they will deal in a practical manner with problems of interest in the given subjects: English history and science. Mrs. Margaret B Goodall, R. S. Dickerson and Elberl Hoskin of the University high school staff will have charge of the methods courses. Additional offerings in the depart ment include a course in “Educationa Tests and Measurements,” and a course dealing with “The Junior High School’ both given by Professor F. L. Stetson who will be in general charge of the ei'epartment during the summer. The annual educational conference n which a number of the leading school nen of the state will participate will oe held on campus on June 29 and 30. rhe program for this conference will be announced soon. It is also expected that the principals’ club, composed of the principals and superintendents en rolled in the summer session, will be re organized at the beginning of the sum mer school. This group of professional workers meets frequently during the summer session for dinners and ad dresses. CASTLE SHOW INTERESTING From his tremendous success on the legitimate stage, Glenn Hunter appears in his first movie, “Youthful Cheat ers.” Mr. Hunter, as the youthful Merton in “Merton of the Movies,” was the outstanding hit of last year’s New York theatrical season; now into the movies he brings all his youthful pep, pleasing personality, and remark able histrionic ability. A more ideal picture th5n “Youthful Cheaters” could not be found, than this thrilling, jazz ing, daring story of modern society life to display Glenn Hunter’s winning char acter. Movie fans after seeing “Youth ful Cheaters” at the Castle today, will understand why “Merton of the Mo vies” was such a success on the 6tage and will welcome Glenn Hunter to the photoplay screen with their absolute approval. EUTAXIAN ELECTS MEMBERS Eutaxian literary society at a recent business meeting elected the following persons to membership: Adrienne Ha zard, Mildred Johnson, Helen Cantine, Mary Brandt, Helen Adams, Amelia Burrel, Margaret Boyer, Eloise Buck, Hulda Guild and Shannon Pettenger. The new officers elected for next year were: Florence Buck, president; Helen Atkinson, vice-president; Mildred Craine, secretary; Neva Service, treas urer; Lylah McMurphy, sergeant-at arms. Eutaxian is the oldest woman’s organization on the campus. MADGE BELLAMY AT REX Madge Bellamy, who plays the role of the pathetic little elephant girl in Thomas H. Ince’s “Soul of the Beast,” the Metro picture which appears at the Hex theatre for the last time today, declares that there would be no Holly wood scandals if all screen actresses had the ideal home life that has been her good fortune. The photoplay, “Soul of the Beast,” was written by C. Gardner Sullivan and directed by John Griffith Wray, under the personal supervision of Thomas H. Ince. CORRECTION IS MADE Contrary to the story running in the Sunday Emerald, the Oregon women’s tennis teams tied with the O. A. C. players and were not losers to the visi tors. The teams of each college won onehalf of the matches, thereby tying the score. Cake Eater —model of 1900 He was called dude and dandy then, but you recognize the type. He majored in haberdashery and took his degree with honors in soxology. As if that were not enough, he evolved some variations on the cake walk which made them stare. He even found time to develop a remarkable proficiency on the tandem bicycle, and on Saturday nights he was good enough to bring pleasure into Another’s life by wheeling away to the “Ten-Twent-Thirt.” To crowd an tms into lour snort years would seem enough for any mortal. Yet in spite of his attain ments there are times, in after life, when our hero wonders. The glory of his waistcoats has long since faded, while his books are Since 1S69 makers and distributors of electrical equipment Western Electric still fresh and clean. Did he perchance put too much thought into the selec tion of his hats and too little in what went under them? Number 2S of a series
