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.

OREGON ATHLETICS
Fif the Editor:
“How times have changed!” seems
;o be the prevailing refrain of old
timers upon their return to the cam- j
pun. 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

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.

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.

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.
