Floyd Greeley Mondays ana Meetings When Monday is wash day for the good housewife, she sel dom allows interference from any agency, whatever its import ance. But when Monday night is house meeting night for cam pus organizations, who is to stand guardian of this blessed pre rogative but the organizations themselves? Tradition, courtesy, and the organizations’ acknowledged importance have won for them recognition of this one evening in the week for their very own. Though bald infringements upon their rights have been not infrequently committed, the houses may have become vexed, but they have not seen fit to cry out against the violators. Thus is created the need for some good Samaritan to remonstrate in their behalf. If citation of specific instances is pardoned by those who will suifei the itch of discomfort, be it known there were no less than four infractions of said immutable right committed on Monday ol: last week. In the first place a university musical organization found it necessary to hold its practice during the time that organizations had set aside for their meetings. With all respect to his aesthetic purpose, an art professor drew two houses away from their meetings that they might enjoy the sight ot his art collection. 1 he school of business administra tion, with all the serious intent in the world, scheduled a lecture in connection with the meeting of retail merchants on the re stricted night. In addition to this, two campus musicians ap peared in recital on that same night, bringing the regretted total to four events, none of which should have been scheduled on an evening reserved for the holding of house meetings. There is no ordinance making transgression of the houses’ privilege a misdemeanor. Perhaps these organizations d0 com prise but half the representative student body. And perhaps none of these interfering agencies would admit that they were violating the rights of anybody. Though their intentions were in all probability the best, they must stand indictment of serving to disrupt the integrity of the living organizations of the cam pus. Organizations meet weekly for an avowed purpose. Such meetings are for all members of the particular living units in question. It is for the best interests of member and organiza tion alike that attendance at weekly meetings be one hundred per cent. Persons responsible for scheduling other functions must realize that there will be members of the houses who will want to attend. .Seldom are they in position to be present at both occasions. Even four campus events attract many mem bers of organizations. Each organization wants its member ship represented at campus functions, for such organizations have a vital interest in campus affairs. But each organization alike realizes that releasing members for such purposes is done at its own expense. Mutual agreement of the living organizations to refuse ex cuses from meetings has proven to no avail. Infractions of their monopoly on Monday nights seem to be on the increase. And when outside agencies observe that Monday night func tions are not hindered hy house meetings, Monday night func tions will continue to be held to the detriment of the houses. The houses should seek to prevent recurrence of such of fenses. Something should be done even if it requires a Univer sity regulation. The Weaker Sex? Miss Oregon, rather more collectively than singly, has just finished a strenuous week-end. Starting last Thursday noon, ' she began to enjoy her Washington's birthday vacation with a matinee. In the evening her week-end program of dances | started with a -formal of an honorary underclass society. Fri day morning a breakfast dance routed her out, sleepy-eyed but game, for another three or four hours of pleasure. Friday after noon found her at the Anchorage dancing or watching her sis ; ter funsters cavorting in or on the mill race. The evening saw i her, of course, at ^another formal. Saturday morning was quiet and perhaps a horseback ride, a stroll up to Spencer's butte or a shopping tour downtown ! sufficed to keep Miss Oregon amused. She didn’t mind a quiet ! morning, however, because the prospect of a matinee dance in the afternoon and another formal at night kept her in good spirits. Yes, and the all-day picnic, Sunday, was also very nice, thank you. “Lots of fun and lots of people killed,” is a favorite campus saying. You understand, of course, that the group of men that were necessary for this generous program of social life of each young lady were not exactly killed—just worn to a nice frazzle. . Monday morning found the girls looking forward to another week-end with real zest. The men who had survived were, of course, subject to the usual Monday-morning class room slum bers. And still they talk about the weaker sex! ! Campus Bulletin I Notices will be ijpinted in this column | for two issues only.

WORK ON LABORATORY IS WELL UNDER WAY Heating System Being Constructed; Plastering of Partitions Almost Finished Work on the construction of i , steam-pipe conduits, partitions and plastering is now well under way in the new laboratory of the depart- i ment of materials and astronomy, j according to Prof. E. H. McAlis- I tor, head of the department. The j tearing down of the smoke stack chimney of the old steam plant was j completed several days ago. With au optimistic smile, Professor Me- • Atister said, "It will not be long! now until my department will have a new lab-home.” "To lay the steam pipe conduits, it will be necessary to rip up the concrete flooring," ho said. “These conduits are to convey the steam into tin1 radiators to be used in heating the laboratory.” The 1,500 square feet of floor i space is to be split up into three rooms, each having about the same amount of floor space. The plaster j work and construction of the parti- ; tions is now being carried on. i Editorially Clipped | o-o LOOKING BACK I’ve always been sorry for Lot’s vife. She’d never had a first-rate hanee. Her neighbors weren’t what hey should have been, and the town is a whole was no place for a decent voman. And now when it looked as f she were going to have an oppor uinity to make something of herself ind redeem her past, she lost her lerve, perhaps; the lure of the old ife made her hesitate, and she stopped and looked baek. Then it vas too late. Her opportunity was rone forever. We were climbing Long’s Peak, md Crosby was one of the most en thusiastic members of the party at the outset. It is a stiff steady pull jf several miles over the long trail ip to the bouIYler field, and then the trail ends and the way leads across irregular masses of sharp rock where me must often pick his way cau tiously and laboriously to the Key Hole. The view is tremendous from this point if the day is clear, a wide vista of mountain ranges opening up for a hundred miles or more, but the summit of the mountain is still a thousand feet above, and the more hazardous part of the ascent is yet to be traversed. Crosby’s enthusiasm had begun to wane, his courage ebbed as he looked over the precipice to the yaw-ning abyss below; his body was weary. Like Lot’s wife, he hesitated and looked back. “I think I won’t try it any far ther,” he said, “I don’t believe I can make it, and I’m not sure it’s worth the struggle.” He didn’t exactly turn to a pillar of salt, but he sat down and waited for our return, and for want of a little effort and nerve missed the most glorious view in the world. I’ve seen many like him young and old. They start upon a task with interest and enthusiasm. Something else attracts their attention, difficul ties arise, the uninteresting or tho unpleasant is to be met, and courage fails them. They look back upon the sordid and commonplace things of the life which they have essayed to leave, and opportunity vanishes; they give up, and they miss some of Coming Events TODAY 7:00 p. m.—Discussion groups.
