Pre-Commencement Pondering)
News stories herald the approaching commencement time, and
seniors gather into little groups and say: “Three more weeks!” or
‘It will soon be over”—and some of them say it with more or less
sadness, while others “can’t wait to get out.”
Whatever the feeling concerning commencement time, it is almost
always preceded by a little mental checking-up on the part of the de
parting class. The realization comes then that the days of the labora
tory and of the class room are forever gone—and some will say with
regret: “I wish I could have taken such and such a course,” or “I
wish I could have had more of this or of that.”
Four years in college is all too short, they say—especially when
the four years is almost gone.
However, one of the values of a university course lies in the very
fact that it is impossible for a student to take everything desirable
given in the curriculum—because the stimulation of interest in those
subjects is of value, especially if sufficiently strong to attract the
alum” to private study—to self-education which can be continued
indefinitely even though not in the conventional class room manner.
Perhaps many seniors are feeling that a good share of the past
four years has been wasted since it has not afforded all that the lini
versity has to offer. However, if in those four years, the senior has
made a determination to get those things denied by lack of time or
conflict of schedule some way or somehow after he leaves the cam
pus, then he can in balancing his University account just before com
mencement, give himself credit for an almost invaluable acquisition.
Truly a Success
Months of planning and work, the skill of a very wonderful mind
and the utmost cooperation from a large group of Oregon people
made Mrs. Anne Landsbury Beck’s delightful Swiss folk opera the
great success that it was. It was truly a triumph of Oregon’s ability
to do something fifferent. It was a supreme example of what Oregon
people can do when they work together. The University’s tribute to
Mrs. Beck’s work Thursday night was truly fitting. It is hoped
more Oregon people may have an opportunity to see “The Hour
Hand.”
The Athletic Women
ft -
Field Day today winds up what has been a decidedly successful
year for the Women’s Atheltie association. Not only have doughnut
games attracted an unusual amount of interest, but an exceedingly
creditable showing against the rival visiting teams has been made
including victories in basketball and baseball and a tie in tennis.
Today the cups which have been won in the doughnut and class con
tests will be prensented, and the awarding of sweaters to athletes
will be made. “Honor to whom honor is due”—and Oregon’s ath
letic women certainly deserve it.

Mrs. Edith Pattee Arranges Collection
suitable for high school use, Mrs, Edith
1 attee, head of the foreign language
department of the University high
school has arranged to have her collec
tion of text books open to examination
June 5 from 3:00 to 5:30 o’clock. At
4:00 o clock there will be a short dis
cussion of different types of material.
Mrs, l’attee has a large collection of
books, which include grammars, histor
y’s, fairy tales, revisions of classics, j
geographies and charts. She has also j
arranged for the benefit of all those i
interested, a bibliography, giving the
title, author, publisher and price of1
each book.
The discussions will lay especial j
stress upon the most recent publications
and will probably bring to light many
suitable texts not yet well known, and
prove them more adapted to high school!
work than others now in use. The col- i
lection will be in Room 7 of the Uni-1
versity high school building.

DRAMATICS ARE CRITICISED
A word of possibly helpful criticism?
Dramatics at Oregon, during the re
gime of Ferguson Reddie, have risen to
| an apex of excellence and recognition.
Seldom does a non-professional group of
actors receive the merited praise accorded
the cast of the “Malquerida,” and other
Company productions have rivaled it in
superiority.
However, in contrast to this approach
to genius, certain other first nights have
witnessed spectators rising after the first
act and leaving, due to the obvious
breaks, poorly remembered lines or in
dications of uncertainty on the part of
the actors.
It seems to me that Fergus Reddie, in
consideration of his own well established
reputation as a producer, instead of pre
senting alternate masterpieces and in
differently acted plays, would make each
play as nearly perfect as possible. To
the most casual observer the reason for
these “low’ spots is apparent. The word
over-production could probably explain
any reasonable criticism that might be
made of Guild hall productions. With a
play produced every three or four weeks,
even a great directing genius cannot
make up for lack of preparation.
Another thing. Thinking people, which
we supposedly are, tire of the eternal
bromides common to press agents in writ
ing up productions. “Miss Joan Smith
was admirably cast in the part of Little
Eva, which she portrayed to perfection,”
becomes meaningless with constant repe
tition.
Couldn’t the Emerald do the campus a
real service by giving an intelligent re
view, by someone who is an authority on
dramatics, of the various productions as
they appear? Good constructive criti
cism never hurt anybody . Sugar coated
criticism can mean little or nothing, ex
cept as a salve to vanity, to the actors
and producers. If, on the other hand,
they were certain that the press review
of their effort was an honest opinion of
an expert, they might profit greatly
therefrom.
And we, the common herd, surely we
would appreciate it.

FRIEND CHEMISTS
To the Editor:
' How long will the chemistry depart
ment have to practice making the par
ticular smell that is devastating the
east side of the campus this week? No
further demonstration of their peculiar
ability would appear to be necessary.
The school of journalism, at least, is will
ing to concede the point. No peda
gogues have the right to keep their pu
pils practicing the same thing over and
over forever. Why do not the chemis
try people now seek higher triumphs,
and try something now with a subtler
bouquet?

CLASS PROGRESS RAPID
Shorthand Students to Finish Soon; Six
Months Course to Start in Fall
The class in Gregg shorthand that is
being conducted at 4 o’clock in room
101, Commerce building is doing ex
cellent work according to Felix Ram
sey, who is giving the course. The mem
bers of the class are taking dictation
at the rate of about 60 words per min
ute on an average but some can do 80
words. The rate for an experienced
stenographer is from 80 to 100 words
per minute.
There are eight students in the class
at present. The work is conducted so
that very little outside studying is re
quired. The course this term has not
been thorough but has dealt with the
general principles of shorthand and
with practice dictation. The class will
finish its work just before the final
examinations of this term. Most of the
members of the class are taking the
work with the expectation of teaching
it.
Felix Ramsey, whose l^ome is in j
Philadelphia, is a special in the Uni- j
versity and is drum major of the R. O.!
T. 0. band. lie learned shorthand while |
in the army coast artillery school at
Fort Monroe, Virginia. Ramsey ex
pects to start a six months course in
Gregg shorthand at the beginning of!
next year.

OREGON TENNIS TEAM
MEETS 0. A. C. TODAY
Players Are Optimistic, But
Chances are Doubtful
The Varsity tennis team will meet
O. A. C. today at Corvallis in the final
sets of the! season. The five men, Rice,
Culbertson, William, Starkweather and
Mayer, who will represent the University,
believe that they have a fair chance of
winning.
As far as dope goes, Oregon is at a
disadvantage. The team’s only victory
this year was against Reed college, 2-4,
though Reed has been considered strong
in tennis. The match played here during
Junior Weekend with O. A. C. was lost
4-3, and O. A. C. has won from Reed.
Willamette has taken sets from the Var
sity, and has lost to O. A. C. Washing
ton, when its team met Oregon, won 7-0.
In the coast conference, with Washington,
O. A. C. and Oregon contesting, the Uni
versity came out last.
In the doubles today, the squad will
have even chances, it is thought, for it
is here that the players are the strongest;
but in the singles, where the team is
weak, the results are doubtful The line
up for the doubles will not be finally de
cided until the men get to Corvallis.
Four of the five who will make the trip
are lettermen. Captain Steve Williams is
a three striper, Culbertson a two striper,
and Rice and Starkweather have a year’s
Varsity work. Meyers is the only new
man.
EXTENSION PLANS MADE
Members of Eugene Faculty to Teach
in Portland Center
Plans are under way for the Portland
extension center work next year, ac
cording to Dr. Dan E. Clark of the ex
tenison division. In general, courses
will follow the plans which have been
in operation for the last few years, al
though there will be a number of new
courses offered.
Information concerning new courses
can be obtained by writing 652 Court
House, Portland. There will also be
a few changes in instructors, Dr. Clark
said, as some members of the Eugene
faculty will teach at the Portland cen
ter.
Portland students, who for any rea
son, may be unable to continue their
work at the University next year, can
take courses under University instruc
tors at the Portland Center if they
wish, Dr. Clark said.
EQUIPMENT IS NOW RETURNABLE
About 150 students have turned in
their R. O. T. C. uniforms and received
all or part of their $10 deposit since
the supply sergeant began receiving
equipment Thursday morning. The
supply room will be open on week days
from 8:00 to 11:45 a. m., and from 1:00
to 4:30 p. m., until school is out, to

WOMEN’S FIELD EVENT
TO BE HELD TODAY
(Continued ffom page one)
Waterman will umpire the game. The
juniors and seniors will contest for the
volley ball championship, this being the
first time that volley ball has been on
an interclass basis with points for
class teams awarded by the Woman’s
Athletic Association. The junior play
ers are: Pearl Pyritz, Maude Graham,
Harriet Howells, Grace Murfin, Flor
ence Baker and Marjorie Read. The
freshmen six are: Lillian Vulgamore,
Velma Scholl, Betty Rauche, Helen
Schapfer, Dorr McLean and Ruth De
Lapp. This game will be refereed by
Miss Waterman.
The interclass track meet will be
held on the new women’s field behind
the Woman’s building, contrary to the
statement in yesterday’s paper that it
would be held on Tayward Field. This
meet is not especially for interclass
competition, but to demonstrate the
track events which will be given for
women the coming year. Junior and
senior gym majors and several members
of the class in playground management
will officiate.
Announcement of the teams compet
ing for the tennis championship cannot
be made at this time as the prelimi
nary matches must be run off this
morning to determine the teams to play
The delay has been due to the weather
which has prohibited the matches from
being played off. In case of rain the
games will be postponed until next
week. Miss Alden and Miss Waterman
will be the officials for the matches.
As there will be no printed programs
for field day, the spectators are urged
to take the progam in this paper with
them to the various event.s

New Editor Wanted
Boss of Leading College Publication Resigns
Position to Graduate
With the budding of the maple leaves
and the first preparations for the final
spring mix with the faculty over exams,
the editor of Oregon’s famous bearer of
light, The Kollege Krier, decided that
the call of the sheepskin was too much
and so is vacating his editorial chair.
This individual discovered the great
and reaching extent of his educative
process when he successfully deciphered
the new edition of the S. P. time table
last week. Why search further for light
when such heights have been reached?
Seldom in the history of journalism
does such an opportunity as this for em
ployment present itself to young and en
terprising editors.
Of course, in making the new selec
tion the publisher will discriminate be
tween contestants solely on their ability
to produce.
As we have often said in connection
with our snow white lunch counter, any
one can work up an appetite but it takes
a smart man to get rid of it. The smart
man in this case, of course, being he who
comes to OBAK with his meal problem.
In thinking over the qualities neces
sary for a successor the editor realizes
that a man must know and have a correct
appreciation of the difference between
OBAK’S and the average billiard parlor.
Further, he must realize the great ad
vancement OBAK has made in the culin
ary arts, feel certain that what the boss
says about tobacco quality is not to be
disputed and that all college men come
to Sth and Willamette when they have a
few hours to kill.
Ye Pen Scratch
A “Colyiun” of Opinion
We were recently asked why a clock
has a short life. If this is a joke
the joker probably is because its hours
are numbered. Is that right?
We notice that the University football
season started out well with an Oregon
victory.
The track squad will probably be ma
terially increased in size after June 20,
by those making traeks for home. It is
estimated that the walking squad will
be smaller this year than last.
