Herman Biaesing, Frank Loggan Daily News Editor This Issue Taylor Huston Night Editor This Issue Iiupert Builivant A Matter of Cooperation Few realize the grind of work that student officials are going through these days to make the present University year of 1923-24 a success. All of them from the president of the student body down to the head of the smallest committee are working night and day to perfect their organizations. There are appointments to be made, plans to be laid, and all the while their scholastic endeavor must go on. Students can contribute to the success of our student body and its various activities by refraining from petty criticism concerning those in power. Differences of opinion are bound to occur; but the man or the woman who is honestly and sincerely concerned with the welfare of Oregon will make criticisms to the officer at whom they are di rected. A real service can be rendered the A. S. U. 0. if our campus citizens will remember that they are a part of the organization, and as sjuch it is their duty to take an active interest in its welfare. The Emerald especially welcomes this type of interest. Campus journalists are working long hours, often until three and four in the morning, in order that the day’s news can be on your breakfast table in the morning. Each year a group of new and untrained writers are initiated into the work of publishing a campus daily, and as a consequence, errors are bound to appear. | The turning in of suggestions for the betterment of the paper, and tips concerning news that may be covered by the staff are ways in which you can help your paper. Contributions on subjects of in terest to the campus are always welcome. The Sunday Emerald offers a field for writers outside the school of journalism. A number of articles have been received for its col muns, without solicitation, from scribes who feel the urge to express themselves and who do not take an interest in the work of actual aews gathering. The Emerald is still conducting its tryouts for staff positions. New writers are invited to join the ranks of those who aspire for a place in the masthead. We Want Him Back A late news bulletin says that Dr. John Straub, our grand old man, must go under the surgeon’s knife. The entire state is watch ing with anxiety the outcome of the veteran Dean’s great adventure. Oregonians are united in the prayer for the speedy recovery of the man we love so well. It is evident that faculty members need their annual reminder to dismiss classes on time. When a student is held overtime, he usual, ly has trouble explaining his tardiness to the instructor of his next class. We have noticed that the instructors who deal the most harsh ly with late comers are often the ones who fail to hear the dismissal bell. “THKEE WISE FOOLS” AT CASTLE King Vidor bus gono bis own record as an original and voritistie motion picture director ono bettor through his direction of his first Goldwvn photo play, “Three Wise Fools,” from Aus ton Strong's popular stage play whioh was produced by John Golden and Win chell Smith. It was shown for the first time in Eugene at tho Castle theatre yesterday anil proved itself one of the most entertaining and artistic of the season’s productions. It has the reality in character and in situation, the charm and the feeling for romanco and atmosphere which Vidor gets into all of his pictures. True, he had these qualities to work with in the play, but he has enhanced and developed them, giving episodes and sequences which the stage version had necessarily to omit. The pictureplay is one to cher ish; it will repay repeated visits. This featuro will show again today and Wednesday. LOVE AFFAIR AT REX There is u charming international love affair between a handsome young enaigu and the pretty, dark eyed daughter of a South American ambas sador in “The Silent Command,” the William Fox spectacular action drama which will be shown at the Rex again today and Wednesday. The officer is played by Gordon McEdward, son of J. Gordon Edwards, director of the pic ture, and Dolores Mendizabal, the charmer from the land of the barrod window and the vigilant duenna, is Impersonated by Betty Jewel, who has just the languorous grace called for by the part. At the finish of the picture the lov ers give a literal illustration of that enviable condition known as “sitting on top of tho world.” Of special interest are the first scenes of tho fire which swept Berke | ley, California, but a few days past, and which are also to be seen on this ‘ current Rex program.

It must be understood that the editor reserves the right to reject communications. SUNDAY MOVIES To the Editor: Gone the glory of Plato! Departed forever the renown of Napoleon! Silenced for eternity the fame of Cae i sar! Lo, he is here. Onee again his ' profound philosophy and undeniable wisdom have broken forth in print and ; the multitude must bow in humble sub i mission before his fiery eloquence and profound logic. Enter, Mr. Robert Lane. The article in the Sunday Emerald by Robert Lane was read with interest by the writer. Just a few words in reply to Mr. Lane’s arguments. Notice, dear reader, his description of the movie, “endless ‘thrills,’ endless boredom.” Of the pool rooms he says, “a stuffy place with a lot of cigar smoke, a lot of dirt, a lot of idle talk. Like movies, pool rooms are places of last resort for me.” He then closes the article by say ing, “And what can be better than evei) a movie show or a pool hall on a rainy, darksome Sunday?” What logic! “A place of last re sort,” yet, “What could be better on a rainy Sunday?” Then again he says, “Idleness pro duces more evil than activity a3 a general thing.” What if it does. Does it mean that one must be forced to idleness because he cannot go to a movie or a pool hall on Sunday? And as to solving the Sunday prob lem. The opening of the movies on Sundays would increase that problem instead of solving it. Mr. Lane, you have six days in which to go to mov ies. Why not give the people who are trying to improve the morals of the city a chance to do some constructive work, unhindered by the influence of the movie on Sunday? It is your own fault, Mr. Lane, and those of your class, if you cannot find plenty to do on Sundays. Things that will be better for the individual than Sunday movies or Sunday pool. The trouble is with the individual, not with the town. Let’s keep Eugene free from Sunday movies. (Signed) LUKE ELLIOTT. THE HELLO BOOK To the Editor: A story in a recent Emerald, refer ring to this year’8 “Hello Book,” which I understand was edited by the gradu ate manager, Jack Benefiel, has come to my attention. The following quotation is taken from the story referring to the book of last year in compariosn with the one published this year: “It is the same in spirit and contains all necessary cam pus information, but all propaganda is omitted.” Since the word, “propaganda,” is us ually associated adversely in circles of journalism, it might be well to men tion that the “propaganda” in last year’s handbook consists in part of messages to the students from Presi dent Campbell, Dean Straub, tho dean of women, Shy Huntington, football coach, Bill Hayward, trainer; a list of Eugene churches, a short history of Oregon, etc. Might not these persons who contributed to tho book, espeeial I ly President Campbell, whose message dwelt on the coming gift campaign, re sent the term, “propaganda,” and the inference that their efforts were worth less?
