Everywhere—on every college campus, there is a peculiar type of man. He does not think as one of a type—he thinks he is individ ual. He prides himself that he is not as other men. He sees that his clothes are somewhat different. And above all, he lets everyone know that his mental processes are far superior to those of his fellows. This type is sometimes called “the intellectual smart alecks,” al though some have called it the “thinkety-thinkers.” Not content to merely think out loud in the presence of their mental inferiors they proceed to show themselves different in less important acts. They vary in the minor conventionals merely for purpose of so doing. And by so disagreeing with society—they them selves become members of a type. Members of this class are not at all pleasant because they insist on presenting their views at every opportunity. They take care to let everyone understand that a distinct personality is present. And—after all—when you become acquainted with them—after they have forgotten the necessity of impressing you, they are agree able and prefectly normal. You find that they are not as peculiar as you thought them at first. They seem pretty good fellows after all. Down in their hearts, members of this class will be elated at the recognition afforded in this editorial. The Responsibility of the Seniors “To the senior, traditions have their greatest significance. His feeling toward these events is one of affection. He is experiencing them for the last time. In a few short weeks they will be but memories. “Perhaps there are those to whom traditions have no meaning, other than that they are ‘foolish fads’ of college life. To the student, however, there is something impressive about the fact that these tradi tions have been handed down from class to class and will doubtless continue to be similarly handed down as long as the University may exist.”—Cornell Daily Sun. Today is Memorial Day! Holidays are useless unless there is a general realization of the significance. LABORATORIES ARE REBUILT Cement Floor Made in Basement Room of McClure for Research Work The room in tho basement of McClure ball in which a cement floor has been made will be used for a research labor atory, according to Professor F. L. Shinn of the chemistry department. Some of the benches that were taken out will be replaced and tho room will be parti tioned off to house tho heavy machinery of tho chemistry department. Motors, lathes, compressed-air-pump, and woodcutting machinery will be in stalled in this room. These heavy ma chines will not jar the building with the new cement floor, but with the old wooilen floor they would have caused an annoying vibration. The new laboratory will not be ready for occupancy until next fall, according to Professor Shinn. When it is finally completed it will release one of the rooms on the second floor of McClure for use a a physical chemistry labora tory. A partition will be run through the room and one part will be used for the balance room and the other for the pi' sioal chemistry laboratory. DR. RICHARDSON GIVES TALKS Since the first of the year Dr. Ira Richardson, of the extension division, lias visited U3 high schools in 32 coun ties in Oregon. He has spoken to 10,437 students at assemblies and held conferences with 2,077 high school seniors, talking to them about higher education. Dr. Richardson presented to the students the opportunities offered at the University. A pamphlet put out by the University called "Making the Most of Life,” was also given the high school seniors. The pamphlet tells how to apply for admission at the University, and the professional and cultural opportunities offered. An idea of expenses is also covered.

COLLEGE RESTRICTS USE OF CARS ST A X PC) It D U NIV ERSIT Y—Agi t a - tion covering a period of four years 1ms resulted in the framing of an amendment to the constitution of the associated stu dents which provides that only men who have spent more than six quarters in the university may own or operate motor cars on the campus. As all freshmen will room in Encina hall next year, en forcement will be simple. The admin istration, the atheltic interests, and many campus organizations have declared them selves opposed to the automobile as des tructive of Stanfrd spirit if allowed to be used promiscuously by underclassmen. WINIFRED CHANCE VISITS Winifred Chance, ex-member of Nu> junior class, visited the campus over last week-end. Miss Chance is moving from her home in Lewistowu, Idaho, to San Francisco. She expects to enter the University of California either this or next year. CAMPUS BULLETIN Notices will be printed in this column (or two issues only.

Sophomores taking military science who have not fired the automatic rifle on the range or who have not taken the final examinations are requested to report at the barracks Thursday, May 31, to complete their work for the term. AIR TRAVEL TOO COSTLY Speedier Transportation for Extension Lecturers Not Yet Practical i Who knows? Perhaps some morning 10 years hence the field lecturer from the University extension division, may saunter out to an airplane garage sta tioned somwhere near the extension building, hop into a sky-flying machine and arrive in Portland in time to give an 8 o’clock lecture. The University school of business ad ministration recently made an investiga tion relative to the advisability of rec ommending the acquisition of a passenger airplane to be operated between Eugene and Portland for the purpose of expe diting the work of University instructors who weekly make trips to Portland to meet classes in extension studies. It was found that air transportation would cost from $9.59 to $15.46 a trip more than passage by rail. C. Ij. Kelly, associate professor in the school of business administration, direct ed the investigation and secured data from the Aeronautical Chamber of Com merce of America and from several air plane companies. It was estimated by Mr. Kelly that the operating cost of a HS 2L six-passenger plane with Liberty motor, a ship valued at $7,000, for one flying hour would be $29.98. The fly ing time between Eugene and Portland was set as two hours, or a cost of $59.96. The life of the motor was estimated as SOO hours and that of the plane three years. The report of the school of business minisrtation stated that the plan for air conveyance for instructors is not practi cal at present and that the cost is out of proportion to the time that would be saved and the inconvenience that would be eliminated. POSITIONS FOR STUDENTS Y. M. Bulletin Board Offers Enticing Prospects for Budding Salesmen Letters offering enticing positions of every sort to the students on the campus are to be found tacked up in the “Y” hut. Each one expresses the desire that the young man be of "clesirable character and possess all those things which go to make an ideal salesman. One company wants salesmen who “will easily make $50 a week” soliciting freight bills. Another wants its house plate to be dis tributed to the four corners of the earth. Still another writes that there are ex ceptional opportunities to him who wishes to sell automobile accessories; another a combination strainer and soup ladel—a publisher who desires to start one of the “beloved” book agents out in the world with a line on religious literature. Are you clever at selling footwear? Then there is an opening for you with a cer tain hosiery company. With this varied array of positions of fered for the summer months it seems as though there ought not be any trouble in getting a job with possibilities of making enough money to start the next school year right. JUNIORS, SOPHOMORES, WIN Frosh Humbled 27 to 13 and Seniors Lose Lead by Score of 46 to 8 The junior and sophomore baseball teams were the winners in last night’s interclass contests. The juniors humbled the freshmen to 13 and the sopho mores swamped the senior ten 46 to 8. Thursday the juniors will battle with the sophomores, the last game before the final match, which will be played off during field day, Saturday, June 2. Up I to last night’s games, the sophomores and seniors were leading in the interclass scries and were doped to play the final game of the season. The sophomores have maintained their lead but the senior hitters lacked the ability they have form erly shown in piling up the score. STANFORD PLANS ALUMNI DAY STANFORD UNIVERSITY—Under graduate stunts will be featured on Al umni Day, June 2, which festivities should surprise even the “old grads” into exclamations. Gene Kern, toast master at the alumni-ouly banquet, was one of the best known men on the cam pus. Class reunions will be held at1 3:30 in the afternoon. DOUGLAS MACLEAN AT REX Douglas, MacLean, star of many past Thomas H. Inee productions, has the leading role in “The Sunshine Trail,” a zippy western comedy-drama with a new twist which is now running at the Bex theatre. The picture tells the amusing story of a doughboy- cowboy who returns from the war, just three years late, to find that his girl is en gaged to be married to “the other fel low-” in the belief that her soldier sweetheart is dead. The doughboy, who has been given a fine memorial funeral by his fellow townsmen, is greeted as an imposter when he comes home. After a series of adventures which are both thrilling and amusing, he is thrown into jail. There ’a a sur prise ending that carries a big kick. FROSH WIN IN VOLLEY BALL Sport Is Popular Among Girls and In te.class Competition Keen The freshmen volley ball team was the winner in last night’s games with the junior players, the scores of the two games being 15 to 5 and 15 to 9 in favor of the freshmen. So far the freshmen players are at the head of the interclass series having won from the sophomores, 15 to 8 and 15 to 2 in Fri day’s games. There has been a good turnout for this sport this year, accord ing to Sue Stewart, w-ho with Ruth Tuck has been coaching the class teams. This is the first season that volley ball has been put on an interclass basis for competition. Helen Shapfer and Velma School have been doing very good work for the freshmen six, and Florence Ba ker has shown up well for the junior team. All class games will be played off this week-end and for Thursday the following games are slated: Sophomores vs. seniors at 11 o’clock. Freshmen vs. seniors at 5 o’clock. The freshman team for yesterday’s games was composed of the following girls: L. Vulgamore, E. Prudhomme, R. DeLap, H. Shapfer, V. School and B. Rauch. Juniors: P. Pyritz, F. Baker, H. How ells, H. Veazie, M. Read and G. Murfin. EASTERN FIRM WRITES Radio Supply Company Has Positions for Qualified Student Salesmen A communication has been received at the office of the president of the Uni versity from an eastern manufacturing firm asking for the names of students who might be interested in becoming salesmen during the summer months, with a possible view to premanent connections with the company. The letter is from the president of the Clapp-Eastham com pany, at Cambridge, Massachusetts, and explains that the salesmen will be re quired to have a recommendation from the administration of the University. The company is the producer of “Radak,” which is its patent name for the radio materials and supplies which it manu factures. There are headquarters in New York, Pittsburgh and Chicago as well as in Massachusetts, so that applicants need not go far for their first instructions. Any student who feels qualified for such a position and is interested in it may obtain further information from Mrs. Donnelly, at the Y. M. C. A. hut, where a complete record of similar positions which are open to students is kept. HERE’S A STRANGE NOTION When asked who was writing the con tinuity for “Vanity Fair/’ which he produced for Goldwyn release, Hugo Ballin replied that William Makepeace Thackeray was performing that task. He also gave the same answer when asked who was writing the sub-titles. Mr. Ballin cherishes the notion that the authors of the classics knew what they were about when they wrote their books and that every attention should be paid to their ideas. “Vanity Fair” will be the attraction at the Castle theatre for two days beginning today. In the cast are starred Mabel Ballin, Hobart Bosworth, Eleanor Boardman, George Walsh, Earle Fox and Harrison Ford.

AN exciting tale of adventure might be written about the hunting expeditions Biggs used to make after the elusive cap of his old tube of shaving cream. For months Biggs was late to class because he spent valuable minutes scouring the corners of the bathroom for a cap that persisted in getting lost. But those troubles are over. For Biggs has started using Williams’ Shaving Cream, which comes in a tube with a hinged cap that can’t get lost. You see pictured here this cap which saves his time and patience and which will do the same for you. The convenience of the Hinged Cap would alone be ample reason for your using Williams'. But when you consider that in addition Williams’ is good for your skin, and is the most remark able beard softener known, then it does seem that you would be missing a good deal in getting along without it. Buy a tube and see if it isn’t vastly better. \ No t ice the hinged I cap. You can't fI lose it—and the f tubehangs up t Williams'
