Larry Biddle Assistant On Losing Grace Edgington Grace Edgington, Oregon ’a prize alumni secret ary and edi tor of one of the top-notch alumni publications in the country, has announced her resignation, To lose so valuable a worker as Miss Edgington right at the time when friendly relations with the alumni are the most valuable asset of the University is serious. There is no doubt that the quality of “Old Oregon’’ is a mighty factor in keeping the sons and daughters of this institution loyal and working for their Alma Mater. It is also evident that the excellence of the alumni magazine has given the University a prestige with other institutions that is highly worth while. Miss Edgington is quitting because she is tired. Unable to obtain assistants she needed to take care of the petty details with which she has been swamped, she has struggled along and built up a great magazine. Now, with her success attained and “Old Oregon’’ at the place where its influence is a potent fac tor in making the gift campaign a success, she has to drop out —a victim of the machine grind that has sent two of our administrative officials to the sick-bed and is slowly but surely wearing away others of our campus community. Realization of the immense value of Old Oregon, resulting in a closer touch on the part of the administration with condi tions in the alumni office, might have saved this situation. It would probably be impossible now to change the decision of the weary secretary. If she could be persuaded to recon sider, to take a long vacation during the summer months and to return next tall, with the understanding that an adequate staff would be put at her disposal, her decision would be hailed with joy by the University. Grave Edgington lias given much to Oregon. It, is up to Oregon now to g0 out of its way to keep her. She holds a po sition that would be very difficult to fill. The great tide of the gitt campaign is upon us. Lincoln's famous opinion that it is bad business to change horses while crossing a stream applies to this case. An alumni secretary, free to use her time and her talents to administer the great work of alumni relations, and backed by years of valuable experience, as the present secretary is, is an absolute necessity. What is the University going to do about it? Over $25 was collected in one day, Wednesday, by the keep er of Oregon's splendid new group of tennis courts. The rap idly increasing interest in the net game should mean some win ning teams in the near future. We recently characterized spring as a time of picnics and politics. So far the victorious “wearies” have given all the advantage to picnics. The expression “dime crawl” has become as famous on the campus as “scofflaw” in prohibition circles. Well, who’ll be the first candidate who’ll get the first eye ful of mud? REX Bill Hart again. “Wild Bill Tlickok” sure was an ideal comebaek vehicle t'ojr \S illiam 8 Hart, but to have followed it up with a picture like “Singe* Jim McKee,” which opens today at thl* Rex, is a real achievement, for Bill not only stars in the picture, hut wrote the story himself and pro duced the picture himself for Paramount.

TO HAVE NEW SHED FOR INDOOR DRILL i A drill shed, to be used when weather conditions do not permit outside practice, is to be construct ed during the summer for the R. O. T. C., according to Sergeant Con yers. The structure will bo 80 by 120 feet and will accommodate one platoon. It will have a sawdust floor and will stand directly in back of the barracks. A system is to be worked out "'hereby one platoon at a time will meet in the shed for close order drill during bad weather. At present, there is not enough room in the barracks for indoor drill and as a consequence, much lime is lost during the rainy sea son. With the drill shod, there will be no loss of time due to the weather, and it is thought that the local li. O. T. C. will be better able to compete with those colleges hav ing better facilities. 2-6-0 The Problem Is: How Can I I)o It Easiest?

Bryson of Eugene in Charge of Affair Mrs. R. S. Bryson, ’99, of Eugene, vice-president of the alumni associa tion, is organizing her local com mittee, which will make plans for the 25-year reunion of the class of '99.

The number of members who will attend the meeting is not known at this time. Space will be given in the May “Old Oregon” for plans of this af fair, which will be held at the same time this spring as the 10-year re union of the class of ’14. Harold Young, ono of the editors of the “Oregon Voter,” is in charge of the latter. A suggesttion has been made by Mrs. Camile Carrol Bovard, per manent secretary of the class of ’06, that her class postpone its re union of this spring for two years when it can hold its 20-year reunion at the same time as the 50-year an niversary of the founding of the University.

The Poets’ Guild is made up of a group of poets ititerested in the practical, as well as the artistic values of their art, and especially in the manner in which it can be made useful to children. The guild is interesting itself in the develop ment of May Day festivals, the spirit of which they feel to be par ticularly akin both to poetry and to children. The poem selected as the most suitable will be read at the festi vals throughout the country on May 1.
