Byrne Night Editor This Issue George Belknap On the Second Lap Today’s issue of the Oregon Sunday Emerald marks the beginning of the second year of this rather interesting experiment in Univer sity journalism. For a number of years the daily has run along in the even tenor of its ways with little or no change . It is an accepted campus insti tution and as such it will continue to be published with only an oc casional change as a sign of steady progress. On its first anniversary the Sunday Emerald has by no means sounded the depths of its possibilities. During its first year of existence, the ups and downs of the Sun day paper were watched with interest by critics throughout the state as well as on the campus. They generally concede that it marks a step in the right direction but that there is plenty of room for im provement. We believe that the Emerald should have as its main purpose the publication of the news, whether in the Sunday Emerald or the Daily. Consequently when a big story breaks on Saturday, it will be run Sunday and placed according to its merit. The literary part of the Sunday Emerald will be maintained, however. We hope this feature will furnisli an outlet for the work of a number of writers who, while not essentially journalists, feel the urge to express themselves. Faculty and students alike are invited to contribute. It is to be hoped that the Emerald may be of service to Oregon by uncovering on the campus a number of new literary lights. The first number is of necessity not the finished product which we hope to produce later in the term. Until that finish is secured, we hope you will bear with us in our attempt to give you an interesting Sunday edition of your daily. COMMUNICATIONS Letters to the Embralo from students and faculty members are welcomed, but nust be signed and worded concisely If* it is desired, the writer's name will be kept out of print. It must be understood that the editor reserves the right to reject communications. To the Editor:— As a means of entertainment, few things provoke greater ennui in my soul than tho motion picture. The thrilling escape, the blood-curdling murder, the hair growing episodo, the emotions stirred, tho complications nocossary to secure the lady, tho final scene: safely married; wedding soon; in each other’s arms; and so on, and so on, endless love scones, endless “thrills,” endless boredom. A pool room is a stuffy place with a lot of cigar smoke, a lot of dirt, a lot idle talk. Liko the movies, pool rooms are places of last resort for me. For pure fritter, both of mind and time, a Sunday newspaper with comics and sports surpasses the movie or the pool hall. If it were not for tho Sun day newspaper, a good many of us wouldn’t get out of bed on the morn ing of the day of rest. As it is, fighting sleep grows monotonous, and tho newspaper helps wasto the morning. Hut someone has values mixed when they oppose the petition which has been circulated about Eugene and which merely asks that tho pool halls bo left open and the theaters allowed to show their pictures on Sundays. Idleness produces more evil than ac tivity as a general thing, and if some people don’t care to indulge in church going, and have consumed their Sun day paper, and it happens to rain— what are they going to do? Play Mali •longg with a Chinese instructor? Or mayhap count the flowers on tho wall paper? Evidently certain ecclesiastical or ganizations know that people want Sun day entertainment, and they have set out to give that entertainment a religi ous twist. With nothing to do, people go to church, and perhaps some of them try it once in a while. But on tho whole, the chances are that those who attend church would go anyway, and those who don’t go, or who go occasion ally are looking for something else, something quite as legitimate. The movies or pool hall perhaps. This petition asks for nothing un reasonable. It is altogether too rea sonable to have any good points to arguo about. It will solve the Sun day problem for many a student and townsman. Whether it has enough sig natures or not, is, after all, not an important matter compared to the ob viousness of having entertainment on Sundays in the same fashion as other towns. Someone hinted that keeping the movies and the pool halls closed would help the “morals” of Eugene. Hooray! But what could be worse than enforced idleness? And what can be better than even a movie show or a pool hall on a rainy, darksome Sunday? ROBERT F. LANE ACTION IN FOX PICTURE “The Silent Command,” a William Fox feature picture which comes to The Rex Monday for three days is a spectacular melodrama of international intrigue, and many of its scenes are of unusual magnitude. The scenario was written from a story by Rufus King. The loading characters are played by Edmund Lowe, Bela Lugosi, Alma Tell, Martha Mansfield and Betty Jewel. There is a shipwreck scene at the end of the picture that is said to be one of the most realistic reproductions of a disaster at sea over filmed. Sw’ift waters run Down to the sea lake love that’s done With you and me. Driftwood and chips From burnt, out fires Like ghosts of ships On dead desires. A dream in shreds One star less bright And several threads For us tonight. Aunon. CLASH WITHIN “Blackness ahead!” Says The-Thing-IIas-Always-Been-In Me. “It’s dawn!” says my youth. THE HILLS OF HEAVEN THERE are no gray-green hills in heaven Know not your feet. High on those blessed slopes my thoughts have given You steadfast retreat. I set you walking there down golden afternoon, Through sunsets, into many a fragile moon. THERE are few gray-green hills in heaven Remember me. Only on days when 1 have cynically striven God like to be l)o I walk near you down the gray-green turf. Adoring your face, creator I, and serf. —Grace Edgington Velvet Joe Says: Regisration is finisihed. That is to say: the rush for pipe courses is over temporarily. • • • We are out of luck this year. If we hear of a pipe course now we shall have to wait a whole year before we can try it out. Most of the students don’t know it, ’ but an institution of higher learning is ,no where they want to be. They would be more at home at the Oregon Pipe Manufacturing company. • • • Or maybee the freshman men were not allowed to smoke at home, and so 'are looking for the Old English Brier variety. , But the co-eds want bubble pipes— pipes that will turn out something showy and brilliant. , I Bubble pipes produce an article where brilliance lasts until some one grabs it. Furnace pipes are for the purpose ’of delivering hot air. So are pipe ^courses. • • * - How things have changed 1 Bull Durham is only used in cigarettes now; : but it used to be that all pipes were full of Bull. A pipe is a round object that is hol low inside. This sounds more like a des cription of the average student’s head .than the description of a course. • t • Once in a while a pipe will broaw and the water will spurt out. Last spring I saw a girl spouting quarts of tears because the pipe she relied on failed her. If you are looking for something soft, don’t bite on a pipe too easily. It may be an iron pipe. • • • It used to be that anyone who was a good judge of pipes could graduate at the end of four years. I once heard that modern govern ments was a pipe. If it is, Stiffy must have smoked Peerless in it for about a century. That is enough to ruin any pipe. But put this in your pipe and smoke it: Them day are gone forever!

Floating Moment Much as a spray moist lily Adrift on the pond’s passive brow, Tipped by a breeze now gently, But bearing the scars of a wind Once reckless; So was a moment, but it drowned Through my fingers. Gone— And the others are fastened To stems. ELNORA KELTHNER The Little Church of the Human Spirit That is the slogan of our Unitarian church. Because we occupy a somewhat distinctive position among the churches of the city, the best advertisement seems to be a statement of our. point of view. We accept the universe as Science reveals it and find in evolution a great harmonizing law. We try to make our conception of God big enough to justify him as a creatar of that kind of a universe. We read the Bible as that part of the world’s religious literature especial ly rolated by history and tradition to Christianity but do not isolate it as differently inspired. We see Jesus as a great human rc vealor and exemplar and accept his ideals of reverence for the Father and love for man as fundamental. We see all men as partly saints and partly sinners and seek to develop the beter part of them at the expense of the lower. That is we believe in salva tion by character. We regard the church as organized for the expression of our noblest, idealism, for community of service and worship and think as such it should be charact erized by friendliness toward men and fidelity to the truth as we understand it. In our church we do not always agree in opinion but rather well succeed in un iting in tolerant brotherlineas as seek ers after the truth. We aim to avoid compromise and evasion, especially in the statement of vital truths of religion. We do not pre tend to always be right but at least we W'ould be always sincere. Quito a number of students have dis covered our church in the years immed iately past, becoming more or less regu lar attendants. To these and others who may be newcomers on the campus and who think they would enjoy a church of this character, we extend a cordial in vitation. We focus our efforts upon the Morn ing Service which is held at 10:45 o’clock . It is followed by the church school at 11:45 o’clock. We have no regular evening service. Tomorrow tho sermon-topic will be ‘ ‘ THAT FORTUNE-TELLER-DAME EDUCATION. ’ ’ Robert McKnight will be the soloist at this service. I proffer the hospitality of our little church to all who find themselves re sponsive to its appeal. FRANK FAY EDDY, Pastor. —Paid Advertisement. Heilig, Tuesday, October 9th Prices 75c to $2.50.
