EMERALD HAS MANY
Publications Put on File for
Student Use
Approximately 33 college news
papers are recorded in the Em
erald exchange department for pur
poses of reference for student
writers. These papers ijppresent
many states, and are kept on the
shelves in the library of the school
of journalism. Through these pub
lications the campus student can
keep in close touch with the pro
gress and doings of the colleges and
universities of the United States.
Twenty of these newspapers are
dailies. They are as follows: “The
Penn State Collegian,” “The Daily
Kansan,” “The Daily Missourian,”
“The Michigan Daily,” of the Uni
versity of Michigan, “Cornell Daily
Sun,” “The Oklahoma Daily” of
the University of Oklahoma, “The
McGill Daily” of McGill univer
sity, Montreal, Canada; “The Daily
Ulini,” “Ohio State Lantern,” “The
Minnesota Daily,” “The Daily
Princetonian,” “Yale Daily News,”
“The Daily Pennsylvanian,” “The
Indiana Daily Student,” “The
Washington Daily” of the Univer
sity of Washington, “The Columbia
Spectator” of Columbia univer
sity, New York, “The Trojan” of
the University of Southern Califor
nia, “The Daily Californian” from
Berkeley, and tlie “0. A. C. Baro
meter.”
Contemporary semi-woekly publi
cations comprise a small list of
three, namely, “The Iowa State
Student,” “The University of Idaho
Argonaut,” and “The Washington
State Evergreen,” from the Wash
ington State College.
The college papers which make
their appearance only once a week
in the offico of the editor of the
exchango department are nine in
all. A few more occasionally find
their way to the campus but are
seldom, if over, exchanged with the
Emerald. The files include those:
“The Utah Chronicle,” “Th0 Boo,”
“The University of Nevada Sage
brush,” “The Willamette Colleg
ian,” “The Whitman College
Pioneer,” “The Pacific University
Index,” “The Linfield College Be
view,” “Tomplo University Week
ly” of Temple university, Phil
adelphia, Pa, and last, “Tho
Ubyssoy” of the University of
British Columbia, Vancouver, B. C.
“It is an interesting fact to note
tho diversity of somo of tho pub
lications that are sent to tho journ
alism department now and then
from far points of tho earth,” said
Pauline Bondurant, who is in charge
of the Pacific Intercollegiate News
Service. A fow days ago a publi
cation was received from India,
and about thneo weeks ago a small
but peculiarly amusing Hebrew
paper drifted into tho shack.
Although not every high school
in tho state of Oregon contributes
its own paper to tho exchange, the
“Oregon Daily Emerald" is sent to
many of the high schools not in
cluded in tho mailing list. Besides
this, a large number of small town
dailies and weeklies are oxchangel
with the Emerald.
Every paper that comes to tho
exchange is filed on the shelves of j
the library, but this method is very !
inconvenient for the student’s use.
' l'o avoid this disorder, three paper
aacks have been installed, and a ;
list fastened thereon to facilitate!
the finding of papers wanted.
CAMPUS PETS FAIL
TO SURVIVE HOLIDAYS
Some Adopt Now Quarters; Others
Seem to Fool tlio Strain of
Life is Too Groat
Christmas vacation proved a try
ing ordeal for many of the mascots
and recently domesticated pets of
the fraternity houses on the campus,
it seems that none of them were
able to survive the festive spirit
of the times, but either deserted
their adopted homes or crawled
under a withered cabbage leaf in
the back yard to give up the
ghost.
Before Christmas the Phi Kappa
Vsi boys had two turtles about their
premises which they had adopted,
and provided with a legal place of
residence which, had the creatures
stayed a little longer, would have
fulfilled the six months voting re
quirement, had they desired to reg
ister. But one of the fellows de
cided that the journey home would
be too much of a strain on his
nerves to be undertaken alone, so
he sacked up the largest of the two
hard shelled inhabitants of the mud
hole aud took him along for a com
panion. The other turtle, known
affectionately as “Colonel,” a tri
liute to a local military man who
introduced him to the house, got
the blues during the absence of his
companion and went off on. a vaca
tion of his own. He Iras not been
heard from since.
Another wanderer from his adopt
ed home is the Sigma I’i Tau coon,
who doserted his captors to take up
residence in some other locality.
Some of the boys expressed the feel
ing that undue compulsion had been
used in bringing Mr. Coon to the
decision to change his residence
when they were asked about the
circumstance.
FRIEDERIKE SCHILKE
HAS PLEASING RECITAL
J Program Opens With Melodic Group
of Songs Depicting
Various Seasons
I
j
At her recital last night in the
Alumni hall, Friederike Schilke
pleased an appreciative audience
with her delightful lyric voice.
She was in excellent voice, and she
hud chosen a repertoire which was,
on the whole, suitable to her. Much
credit is due to Ruth Scott Byrne,
who played a very sympathetic ac
companiment.
The program opened with a Cycle
by Ronald, a melodic, group of songs
depicting the seasons. Miss Schilke |
interpreted them gracefully, doing
best with “The Winds Are Calling,”
the autumn song. There is an ap
pealing note of melancholy in this
song which Miss Schilke expressed
well.
Unquestionably the biggest num
ber was the Aria “Adieu
Forets” from Tschaikowski’s “Jean
ne d’Arc.” There is exquisite
harmony in this Aria; Miss Schilke
sang it well. She is, however, at
her best with the more lyrical num
bers where she displays a wealth of
feeling.
Ruth Scott Byrne played two
numbers, “Etude,” by Liszt, and
“Lento,” by Cyril Scott. She hasJ
a smooth and soothing touch, which
showed to advantage in the rich
harmonies of the “Lento.”
Miss Schilke sang a group of old
French ballads with a pleasing
delicacy, and of her last group of
songs the best was “My Lover He
Comes on tho Skoe,” by Clough
Leighter, a gay little ballad bring
ing out her best tonal quality.

DEBATES ARE ORGINAL
Argument in High School Carried
on by Asking of Questions
A new and interesting kind of |
debate is being inaugurated at the •
University high school. Instead of
delivering long prepared speeches,
the students study on the subject j
under discussion and go to the tie
bate prepared to ask questions of
their opponents and answer those j
addressed to them. The entire de
bate is taken up with eross-ques .
tioning and the decision is made*
according to the cleverness and
authority of the questions asked
ami the answers given.
The first debate of this kind is
to be held Thursday by one of the
classes in senior English.

SHERIDAN COMEDY IS
COMING CAMPUS PLAY
“School for Scandal” May
Appear in February
Sheridan’s “School for Scandal”
will he played by the University
company in purely classic comedy
style, says Mr. Reddie who is direct
ing it. In its recent performances
on both the amatour and professional
stage, it has been to a great extent,
modernized, with elaborate scenery,
all star casts, and modern stage tech
nique.
Mr. Reddie intends to do away
with the realism that distinguishes
the late productions of this famous
comedy. There will be simple back
drops instead of carefully worked
out stage settings, and the interpre
tation of the play will be carried
out in the old classic manner.
The “School for Scandal” was
played in New York last year with
Ethel Barrymore, and John Drew
and an all star cast.
It was received well as it always
is, but it was almost an anomaly as
a production. To show the extent to
which it was an all star cast, Wal
ler Hampden, the well known
Shakespearean actor, played the part
pf a footman.
Rehearsals for “School for Scan
dal” are well under way. It prob
ably will be produced in Guild hall
in February.

of Ad Building in General
News Department
The University of Oregon section
of the Geological and Mining So
ciety of American Universities,
known as the Condon club on this
campus, has recently issued its por
tion of the general news bulletin
published by the national society.
This bulletin appears at intervals
during the college year and con
tains personal items, descriptions
and reports of trips, and articles on
topics of general interest to geology
students and staff members.
The latest number is composed of
six pages devoted to departmental
news and discussion relating to the
work of the department of geology
on and off the campus. Of particu
lar interest is the announcement of
a new song which was recently
presented at geology seminar by
Guy Armantrout, a student in the
department. The words of this lat
test addition to the music of the
department follow:
Up in the Ad building
Everybody knows,
There are the boys that are
On their toes.
In the room they
Pick and pound,
Want to .know how
The world goes 'round.
Chorus
Shoofly, miner, get away from me,
Ha, Ha, Ha, Condon club.
Shoofly, miner, get away from me.
