Phones Editor 655 Manager 951 Daily News £ditor This Issue 3eanne Gay Night Editor This Issue Walter Goover The Question of Lemon Punch Some Lemon Punch supporters are making one mistake in their presentation of the facts to revive tiie now deceased ‘Lemmy. ” They seem to be assuming that the executive coun cil took snap judgment and simply ruled the humorous publi cation off the map arbitrarily. Frequent committee meetings, held last spring and this fall, attended by some of the most representative students on the campus, were held, and the matter was viewed from every an gle. The officials and members of Hammer and Coffin were given a hearing. We are satisfied that the decision was made by men who felt that their action was for the best interest of all concerned. There is little doubt that if student sentiment seems strong enough at this time to bring the matter Joefore the council again and there is any indication that new evidence should be con sidered, the council will be glad to consider it again. A discussion of the situation, if kept within reasonable bounds, is sure to be beneficial. If the magazine were to be re vived after student sentiment had forced the issue to the front again, the added interest in the Punch could not fail to help it. This editorial is printed to let the student body know tha1 the matter of Lemon Punch did receive ample consideratior from the ruling body of our campus organization. Whether or not they made a mistake—that is another matter Dividing the Load _____ When our student body president hit upon the idea of mak ing an unusually thorough canvass of the campus for hidden re sources in the way ot student workers, lie took a long step in the right direction. There is too much tendency toward giving all the work to a few individuals. Right now the heavy burden of campus activ ity is being borne by fewer than a score of workers. These stu dents are forced to sacrifice scholarship and needed rest and recreation in order that the organizations ot our campus may continue in an efficient manner. Consequently they obtain all the benefit of campus endeavor when it might better be passed around, but they also make all the sacrifice of time when this too should be shared. The fault lies both with the workers and with those who appoint them. Too much pride prevents them from refusing added burdens, and unwillingness to take the trouble to look up new material is frequent among those who make the appoint ments. There should be more investigating and more tendency to give the new man a chance. It is a well-known fact that re sponsibility brings people out. President Robinson has the right idea. Organizations should see that he obtains the proper cooperation in obtaining inform ation about possible committee workers. Denver University is to have a ski dub. Oregon students who are used to snowy dimes miss the thrill of winter sports here in this land of winter rains and only occasional snow storms If all the water that falls could be put into a lake we might stage a regatta as a number of the other coast institutions do.

Grief I stricken, his chief mourners shriek forth a melancholy wail. Since life : has departed from this erstwhile j publication, there appe&r many to sing his praises. It is too bad that those who now let fall their tears did not tmriK to raise tneir siuui arms in Lommy’s defense while he |stood at the tribunal’s mercy. Or, | if they did pleail for the life of j Lemon Punch, let them be satisfied I with the decision of the judges. The executive council investigated the matter of Lemon Punch. The j little fellow was found wanting. Lcinofi. Punch was not financially self-sufficient. It never did have ' its proper share of life-sustaining support coming from advertisers. Merchants had refused support to Lemmy until he was vouchsafed by the student body. Following his adoption as a student publication, merchants did not declare his status. The executive council sought to represent student opinion in pro nouncing the death sentence of the little fellow. One* of the bereaved censures tho council for taking for granted'the indifference of the stu dent body. This grieved one speaks too late. His proofs should have been presented while there was left to Lemmy a vestige of hope for con tinuance of life. if the consensus of opinion among students is that the campus feels i the need of a humorous magazine, then indeed, the ozone of life should j again be breathed into Lemnty’s ! system. If there are those, many |in numbers, believing they shall t suffer hunger for the product sup ! plied by writers for the Lemon Punch, then the action of the coun cil should be reconsidered. But, if | by self analysis, we find our whet ted palates satisfied by other or igans of publication, let the deceased I bo buried, and the knell be tolled. Then we can look to the future for better things. SENIOR. NEW MAGAZINE IDEA To the Editor— It was to be expected that there j would be those who would weep over the departure of Lemon Punch But Lemon Punch committed suicide several months ago, stnd the many mourners of today exhibit only ;i belated grief. The chief mistakes in the life ol 1 Lemon Punch were: First, it was In fraternity publication. Second it was not a humorous publication Third, it became an official studenl i body publication. Fourth, it was noi a medium of intelligence or free ex ) pression. The time is now ripe for the pro j mulgatiou of a student magazine ol ian entirely different character. This 1 magazine will solicit and accept! contributions from all members ol |the student body, who in the editor’s I opinion are eaptable of producing art ■ and writings of a suitable charaetei j and quality. It must be published 'off the campus of the University of Oregon for the students. The or ganization must be as near non profit as possible, or able to face small and continuing deficits. For considerable time I have had the details of such a magazine well worked out. With the moment now ripe, I shall be glad to join others who seriously believe there is need for a vigorous independent campus magazine. With proper assistance, and cooperation such a publication may be produced to appear during the first two weeks of the winter quarter. • ROBERT F. LANE. CHANGES IN COURSES TO COST DOLLAR EACH Business Office Issues Warning to Students Who Drop or Take Up Classes Warning has come from the ad ministration that courses which are dropped or added to study pro grams at the beginning of the winter i term will cost students a dollar | each, under the present system of registration. The ruling of the faculty in regard to this is brought to the attention of the student body at this time so that there will be no misunderstanding on the part of students who contemplate a change in their courses after this term. The section of the ruling refer ring to fees for change of study pro gram reads as follows: “Adding of 1 courses will be allowed only dur iing the first two weeks of each ‘term, and dropping of courses will be allowed only during the first three weeks of each term. A dollar fee must be paid for each course dropped and for each course added | after the study card has once been I filed at the registrar’s office.” Under the year registration plan [ the theory is that the student will file his program in the fall and that I this program will hold good for the entire year without change. There fore to avoid indiscriminate choice and changing of courses the fee was imposed to partially cover the cost of the work necessitated in each change in the registrar’s office. DEAN E. C. ROBBINS TO ATTEND CONVENTION Heads of Departments of Economics And Business Schools to Meet in California E. C. Robbins, dean of the school )f business administration, is to be :he official delegate to attend the second annual convention of the Pacific coast conference of depart ments of economics and collegiate schools of business.

LOCAL BUSINESS MEN WILL GIVE LECTURES Series of Programs Arranged With Slides and Films; Loan of Extension Division A series of programs using films and slides loaned by the extension division of the University, have been worked out during the past year by George W. Cooper, pastor of one of the churches in Camas, Washington, according to Alfred Powers, of the visual instruction department of the University. The programs are so arranged that the lectures for the slides are given by local business men of tlje com munity, Mr. Powers said, and in this way reach many persons. Rev. Cooper recently used a film on electricity, an electrician giving the lecture. On Armistice day, films on the war were shown and the lecture given by an army man. The next lecture, Mr. Powers said, is to be on the different methods of washing clothes which the world has used from Biblical times to the present day washing machine. Slides for this will also be furnished by the University. The extension division has many different subjects prepared for lec tures and showings in schools, churches and various organizations, and for which there is a constant demand from places in and out of the state, according to members of the visual instruction department.

The OREGANA Tin-: STUDENT’S SHOP STRANGE DETAILS OF EXAM WEEK COMPUTED Interesting Facts Arranged by Obak’s Faculty The mathematical department of Obak’s Kollege has been working al most night and day computing statis tics upon the final examinations. Working in connection with them the Board of Statistics has formulated some very valuable information. In the findings of the mathemati cal order, it has been discovered that there are 5760 minutes between now and the day of the final examina tions; by multiplying this figure by sixty it was found that there are 345, 600 seconds intervening between now and the time that the first professor it hand out the tell tale mimeo graphed sheets. Taking these figures as a basis we have been given some very entertain ing facts by the statistics of the case; for example: If these 345,600 seconds were dol lars they would pay off the debts of several prominent collegians. If these seconds were' hours they would make up the lost sleep of at least two^ dozen students and three consistent piggers. By placing these seconds end to end and single file they would makp a line twice as long as an equal num ber in double rank. If these 345,600 seconds were cigar ettes and were given to young men for Christmas they would represent 1728 happy fellows. If 1728 girls were to buy 345,600 cigarettes for 1728 men, they would form a line over a half mile long in front of Obak’s. Freshman Longs to Know About Old Santa Claus A brief, but sincere letter was re ceived here yesterday that touched the heart strings of the serious minded members of Obak’s faculty staff. The letter was written in the round, careful hand of youth; it expressed the longings and the disappointments of a very young student. The note was so appealing in text that a com mittee has been appointed to look after similar cases. “I had not previously realized the necessity of this sort of humanitarian work,” said the head of the commit tee, while, speaking of the letter. “Our purpose will be to ‘break the news gently’ to the disillusioned mem bers of the school who are just be ginning to learn the brutalities, the harshness, and the cold-bloodedness of the outer world.” So that our readers may recognize the seriousness of this case we are re printing the letter: _ Dear Obak: I have always been a good boy; I have been working hard and am trying to grow up to be a big strong man. I have always hung up my stocking on Christmas eve and have found that in some wonderful way it has invariably been full on Christmas morning. But now this seems to be a thing of the past. I have been talking to the big boys and my heart is filled with sorrow. Oh, Obak! Is it really true that there isn’t any Santa Claus f Yours in mourning, (Name omitted.)
