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?

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.
