Larry Riddle The Public Trv.sC As tlie year riolls around toward its close, “Old Man Poli ties” emerges from lone and quiet hibernation. He tells us that elections of student body officers for the year 1924-25 will take place in another month. If the student council so acts, on May 1 nominations for student offices will be held, and a week later, on May 8, the annual balloting will take place. So far there has been very little political discussion, consider ing the nearness of the election. As the incumbent administration has conducted its duties, kept the intricate student organiza tion intact, and the officers devoted time and energies to the welfare of the association, in happy-go-lucky contentment the constituency has gone about its business almost forgetful that the skipper keeps the stately ship in her course. But interest in public affairs must arouse from its lethargy. The student leaders and officers of today will soon step out of tins province. Successors must be chosen. And they can be wisely selected only if the student body is alert and mindful of its duty to itself and to the University. Every private individual holds with him the public-trust. The boiling pot of administrative activity, after all, simmers] down to an individual responsibility. If the student is con-! scientious and anxious for the welfare of the entire community, I the centralizing government will reflect such an attitude and j be a more popular and successful one. Indifference and non-1 chalancc can be the spoliation of a democracy. And as the suc cess of this year’s administration has been due to the support given it by all students, and the interest taken, so the succeed ing government will work with harmony and satisfaction to all only if interest in it is alive. The announcement of the coming local political campaign is the signal for the students to take notice and think on public matters. It will devolve upon next year's leaders to give add ed cooperation in the gift campaign; to carry on the work of the Student Union; to decide all moot questions which arise; to make for a finer student body and a bigger University. This is no common course. The problems which arise next year will] undoubtedly be without precedent. The University will grow; and changes will be instituted. New laces will appear. In coming students will bring with them new problems. Innum erable arc the possibilities for the future. Then let there be enthusiasm to put efficient men and wo men in office. Each man must .judge for himself before he ex ereises his voting privilege. There will be talk. Much of it will be true. Some of it will be so much chaff. The Emerald will strive to present all things in their true light and significance, as it has in the past. \ wise policy is for each individual to develop in himself u faith in the student body and a responsi bility to do his part to make for the welfare of the college communit v as a whole. OREGANA IS RAPIDLY NEARING COMPLETION With several sections of the Ort' gana already in the bindery, and all copy .sent off to the engravers and printers, progress on the 1924 year-book is very near completion, says Freda Goodrich, editor. Miss Goodrich returned yesterday from Oregon City, where she has spent the past two weeks reading page proof and supervising the general work on the book. it is probable that the Oregana will be ready for distribution by Junior week-end, if the work con tinuos to progress without intorrup t ion. For the remainder of this wook and probably continuing into next wook, a booth will be open at the Coop, whore students may pay their first $2.50 for the book, the remainder to be paid when they re ceive a copy. However, unless a great many more subscriptions are received, says Miss Goodrich, the price will be advanced to #4.75, in order to cover the expenses of pub Mention. The price of $4.50 was only a tentative one, providing for a great many more subscriptions than have been received thus far. Get the Classified Ad habit.

Naturally we are glad we are not the same as we were, for no shange denotes stagnation; but the majority of men who comment on this thing do not do it with an air of ap preciation for the better things of the college. The thing that is more noticeable to them than anything else is the lack of interest in athletics. Not long ago an alumnus, who holds i rather prominent position in the state, returned to visit the campus, lie was a former track man and one who feels keenly the lowering of Ore gon ’s athletic prestige. He relieved his feelings to Bill Hayward in some thing of the following manner: “T don’t understand things around here now. The boys get up in the I morning and dress up like they were going to a party—and I find out they are only preparing for a class. They sit about the house with their good clothes on, their hair all perfumed up, and—ami nobody seems to mind it. They don’t even talk about the things vve used to. Athletic competition is the farthest thing from their mind; but the advent of a strange blond on the campus—that creates more dis cussion J hau a winning track meet used to. “Why when I went to school [ owned only one suit. Tf I went to a party it took about two other per sons to rig me up complete, with con tributions from their wardrobe. Then, if a man didn’t go out for some form of athletics, the women ignored him—now, humph,” and the alumnus stopped speaking in disgust. It was for Coach Hayward to car ry on the conversation from tiiis point and get a few things off his chest that has been oppressing him for the r ritedur Now Playing Mary Philbin in “Fools Highway” A tremendous drama of New York’s old Bowery Days. One of the most unusual pic tures the Heilig has ever shown. # # # OTHER FEATURES PRICES—Matinee 20c Night—Floor .30c Balcony 20c CALL 80 for a YellowCab past few years. He continuer! m this strain: “I’ve seen the time when a man, who would fail to show up for prac tice, would cause campus discussion. Then, if he persisted in his laziness the next day, his girl would prob ably '•drag him over ,by the ear, if necessary, and tell him to go to work, and now,” here Bill heaved a big sigh for the old days and continued, “if a man must train for his athletic contests the women discard him for something or some one that is handier or can jump more regularly at their beck and call. Yes, indeed, times have changed.” Perhaps things aren’t so bad as these gentlemen make out; but the very fact that the campus exhales such an attitude to old timers is worthy of noticing; and an effort should be made to abolish some of the childish, “puppy love” experi ences and for both the men and women to hold their attention to the things that count for real two fisted men or real womanly women —‘and that isn’t sitting on a tomb stone holding hands, or galloping over a porch to the tune of a phonograph all afternoon. Yes, things are changing, but in judging the past, let us remember that the achievements of our fore runncirs have shown them to be men; while', as yet, we have no achievements—unless it is the pro digious amount of-father’s money we have spent. W. A. HEILIG Can the styles of 1895, when Charles Dana Gibson first began to depict womankind in small flat hats and huge feather boas, be brought back again? Will the latest jazz model in hats harken back to the days of Chimmie Fadden—or Mamie Rose? That’s what picturegoers are won dernig since “Fools Highway,” in which Universal presents Mary Phil bin, newest screen idol, has been given the public. Miss Philbin wears the quaint garb of the old Bowery in the story, adapted from “My Mamie Rose,” Owen Kildare’s famous novel, showing now at the Heilig theater. At first glance, the funny little hat and the rest of the old-time cos tume seems funny—but, when Miss Philbin acts the queer, appealing lit tle heroine, it is all very human. And —stranger fashions have been revived. The Bowery flapper of the old days, in her new jazz outfit (of course they didn’t call it jazz in those days—the word was unknown) wore a costume strange and startling to the modern eye. A little flat hat, resembling a pancake, surmounted a queer little hair dregs known in those I (lays as a “pug.” Sleeves resembled legs of mutton, jackets were very short and flared out, giving the gen eral effect of a scupper on a ship. The skirt was very long and very flaring. BEX So artistically has Hunt Strom berg’s first stellar production, “The Night Hawk” been filmed, that in one short shot, the whole idealism of man is expressed fully and most effectively. In his role of the Panther, a clever city crook, transplanted to a big ranch, is brought suddenly face 1 to face with a real woman. She is the exact antithesis of all the women he has ever known, the cafe singers, the adventuresses, the criminals. And in that one flash he realizes the futility of his own life and knows that this is the hap piness he has always sought so i blindly and so wrongly, “The Night Hawk” is now play ing at the Rex for two days.
