The lack of about a minute in his playing record was the only thing that stood in the way of the award. Len had played in many games where it did not count for a letter and only an injury kept him out of certain games that would have assured him the usual recognition. Oregon’s policy is to do justice to the men who fight her battles. Jordan’s career on the football field was a hard, con sistent fight against heavy odds. Many men now wear the Oregon O who did far less for their alma mater than he has done, yet when he did not receive any recognition last year he acted like the four-square man that he is and smiled grimly at the hard luck which kept him out of the game for that needed minute. The action of the executive council in recognizing Jordan, and Bliss, another man whose injuries were fatal to his finish ing the season, is generally commended. The spirit of awards is far more important than the mere technicalities and to deny justice on the grounds that only 59 out of 60 minutes had been played would have been prepos terous. Buy A Tag Today To have a student-body representative at the great Student Volunteer convention at Indianapolis will mean much to the University of Oregon as a place where we welcome ideas from the great world outside our campus; not to have a representa tive there would he an omission that would not help the icpu tation of the A. S. U. O. To be there will mean much to Ed Kirtley, the man who has been chosen to go. llis intention to enter an important line of public service, following his graduation, means that whatever Oregon can do to equip him will later reflect credit upon the institution. Ilis football record lias won the support of many for the move to send him. Tags are being sold on the campus today to make the send ing of our delegate possible. Nearly every student must cooperate to raise the necessary money. Buy a tag today. The tendency which has been coming to the front in recent years for the University and the Agricultural College to unite against a common foe was shown in an incident of the recent Oregon-Washington game at Seattle. Two 0. A. C. men, wear ing Orange and Black caps, sat with the Oregon rooters and cheered for our eleven. Considerable favorable comment has been created here as a result. Competition between Oregon and O. A. C. is stimulating, but cooperation in matters where the twq institutions are not exactly pitted against one another, is helpful to both. _ DEAN TELLS STUDENTS OF CONDITIONS ABROAD (Continued from page one) tells that the League took charge of Austria and governed Its fin ances, and there is a story now that there is being reconstructed a new economic unit at Vienna, a place of industry, progress, stable money, conservatism and hope,” Dean Allen concluded. The varsity quartet sang ‘‘Ten nessee,” and an encore directed at j the freshmen, preceding Dean Al len'» talk. Rev. W. U. L. Marshall of the Congregational ehureh gave the invocation.

Jimmy Meek is manager of the club. Out of the 34 counties in th(e state, Jefferson is the only one lack ing a representative at the Univer sity of Oregon. The task of painting approximate ly 2,000 Oregon seals for envelope stickers has been undertaken-by the Sculpture club. Edward D.

To the Editor: — In a short paragraph appearing in yesterday’s Emerald, we are notified that the executive council of the Associated Students has decided not to allow Lemon Punch to bo resumed. The council bases such final decision on two points, so they state, that the Lemon Punch is financially unsafe and that there is no student desire on the campus for the publication. As a student, upon whose shoulders eventually falls the good and bad work of the council, let me question their judgment. Most certainly there is lacking sufficient explanation of their move to kill the Punch without any expression of the students con sidered as necessary. The-iemon Punch, taken on a pure ly business basis, is absolutely finan cially sound. Advertising and circu lation can be shown to cover the cost of publishing—a budget of expenses as they would be this year is con crete evidence that the danger pre dicted is not alarming. What more is necessary in considering the future Lemon Punch—if the margin of pro fit can be shown in black and white and—if it is taken from past years experience anil figured on present day costs. There is no ground to force out this publication because of an alleged inability to clear expenses of publication in the past. The council further claims that there is not the student demand for the Lemon Punch. A very assuming statement to make to which I call your attention to the growth of the Lemon Punch on this campus, dur ing the last three years. What mo tive impels students to fill the mails soon after the issue is out—send ing copies that have been pur chased and read, to their friends? Why is the Lemon Punch featured around the fireplaces of every living organization for days after it is out? During vacations we see students reading them on trains, taking them home to the folks. The turnover from the original purchaser is one of the biggest characteristics of the Punch, the hand-down from one to another, in high schools, and in the home towns. However it is not possible to show this factor in the circulation figures. Why all this discussion? Is this not student demand? Consider too, the superior rank of the Lemon Punch as a medium of Oregon publicity. Oregon has been featured among the colleges all over the United States and the name Lemon Punch has appeared frequent ly in the best known nationally cir culated humorous magazines. Ore gon has placed herself on par in this activity with California, Stan ford and Washington. Let me ask, what causes the most excitement in our high schools throughout the state, the arrival of the University catalogue or the Lemon Punch? It is human nature of the “prepers” to read a college comic in prefer ence to other more needful litera ture. There’s the point—the Lemon Punch reaches the future students through the line of least resistance— puts Oregon in their mind, encourages thinking of the University which re sults in the reading of other Oregon publicity pamphlets. They go hand in hand. The Punch advertises the University far more efficiently than any other approach yet introduced. I believe, in view of the value of the Lemon Punch and its assured suc cess, that it would do well for the members of the executive council to take heed. I am sure that an ex pression from the majority of the students would show favor in the con tinuance of this worthy publication. The act to kill the Punch has been committed, is it not fair that student opinion protect itself? A Student. THE PEOPLE’S VOICE To the Editor— The executive council, in its meet ing held Wednesday evening, de cided that Lemon Punch will not be published. The reasons were: (1) , that it is financially unsafe, and (2) , that there is no desire for such a publication. The council based its first objec tion on the results of the manage ment of the past year. This is not sufficient, however, as manage ment installed by the A. S. U. O. would discourage indiscretions on the part of unscrupulous individuals. The Lemon Punch is young and evils are always prevalent in new /A The One Safe Christmas Gift for Everyone, Comfort Slippers Warm slippers for gifts. Such a wonderful array of warm, cozy slippers. For Men and Women Slippers in such wanted kinds as felt and leather, in sizes and styles that are much in demand. Can you think of any more appropriate gifts than slip pers like these?

Time alone ! can remedy these and the move making the Lemon Punch an A. 8. U. O. publication was the turning from irresponsible youth to thinking maturity. The statement that there is no desire for such a publication is un founded. It is true we can survive 1 without it, but do we want to do so? Many students have inquired i about the Punch, asking when it 'is to be published and other details. The student council, the voice of | the student body, expressed no opin ion on the matter. It seems, therefore, that the exe cutive council is not only taking action from the finand'al side with ' out allowing for changes in man agement, but is also expressing for the student body an opinion which this last organizatios has not :,formed. GEORGIA BENSON. LEMMY IS DEAD To the Editor— The execution by the executive council (left the poor little fellow dangling from the gallows. And the charge that resulted in capital ! punishment? A hard-hearted stu dent body had no desire for his appearance (according to the coun cil). So all of us who have been duped by the many queries, “When is the Lemon Punch coming out?” must realize that the students had tired of speaking about the fine weather we have been having and turned to the Punch to have some thing to talk about. The indictment also states a question of whether or not Lemmy could support himself. This is based on some unscrupulous management in the past while the Punch was not voted by the stu dents to be uncfer the A. S. II. O. We musn’t be hard on the coun cil, for we must remember that there is not enough talent and abil ity on the campus to put out such a publication. With our tiny stu dent body of only 2,200 students we couldn’t hope to be ab]|e to cope with such institutions as O. A. C. We must keep our quiet little girls’ seminary free from all such things as comic magazines, and baseball, and have our time free for gay ping pong tournaments and croquet parties. HEARTBROKEN. REX “The Dangerous Maid,” being shown at the Rex theatre this week, is entirely different from any photo play Constance Talmadge has ever made, in that it gives her her first big opportunity for straight drama tic work. ‘•The Dangerous Maid” is an adaptatios of the Elizabeth Ellis novel, “Barbara Winslow, Bebel,” and is a story of England’s turbul ent political and social period in the 17th century. Constance Talmadge has the role of a madcap little rebel who dons a cavalier’s sword and costume and engages in a thrilling series of ad ventures with the officers of the i king. f^See You Saturday Afternoon Ye Collegiate Grille HEMSTITCHING Pleating and Buttons Pleated skirts a specialty.
