Bd Miller Oregon and Vacation Plans “Know your state.” This cry of the Oregon booster should be taken to heart by the campus. The ignorance and indifference of University stu dents toward life outside the realm of student affairs is espec ially evident in the field of knowledge of our great common wealth. Since the rise of our splendid system of roads, thousands of tourists come to the state each year and see things which prob ably half the students in this, the great educational center of the state, have never even heard of. With the arrival of spring the wanderlust, so typical of youth, is with us again. The same warm sunshine that is chang ing the bare limbs of the campus trees into bowers of flowers and greenery is warming the little country school houses and eausing the minds of the urchins to wander from the geography books to the time when “ma will lemme go to the country,” and is making the high sehool boy dream of the coming hike or the fishing trip. These longings to travel are very strong in the hearts of many inhabitants of the campus, and should materialize into something which will make for a better knowledge of the state. New roads have opened up sections of Oregon as yet un touched by the destructive hand of civilization. There are mountain vastnesses which only a few limiters or surveyors have ever penetrated. There are lakes, hidden away in the green silences of the forests, that have not even been named. All right here in Oregon, awaiting the venturesome youth who yearns for something new in the way of a vacation trip! One of nature’s gifts to the state, which is just coming into its own as a tourist mecca, is Wallowa Lake. Nestled in a ver dant valley in the northeast corner of Oregon, with a blueness that rivals Crater Lake and a silent, mystic charm that is un surpassed anywhere, this natural wonderland stands as one of the first scenic assets of a magnificent state. Ever since the pre-historic glacier scooped its spacious con tainer out of the solid rock it has reflected the moods of the weather as truthfully as milady’s mirror gives back a reflection of her beauty. Decades ago the Indians came to its banks, hunt ed and fished in its tributary streams, and lived and loved in the shadows of its protecting mountain walls. One day during a fierce tribal war, the son ol' a chief met the daughter of the rival leader in the middle of the lake. Their love had led them to seek to end the warfare. As they talked together, the legend tells us, a great water monster arose out of the depths and devoured them. Since that time no redskin has ever ven tured near the glassy bosom of Lake Wallowa and the glow from the campfires of the Indian hunters, who return to the Wallowa to valley to hunt and fish, each fall, is never neai enough the edge of the haunted deeps to be reflected from its surface This is only one of the ancient legends of the state that aw’aits the pen of some son of Oregon. The lore of such spots as the Wallowa is almost unlimited. There are hundreds of similar places in the state about which students ought to know. Oregon students who will take the trouble to inquire about these places have a real opportunity to plan a fascinating vaca tion trip. A journey into one of these little known wonder spots will assure a new and valuable experience and an addition to the store of knowledge of our own state. Sport Chatter by MON'fE BYERS There*are going to be two fast cin der tracks in Oregon before the spring track season draws to a close. The Aggies are going to have a fast speed way soon. It will probably be ready for some of the meets. A cinder track costs a lot of money, but once it is down you have something that will last, if taken care of right. A cinder path is springy and easy on the athlete. » • * The old dirt track is still a fond memory, and when well taken care of the dirt track is good. Few here remember the dirt speedway around Kincaid field. It was a good track to run on and fast time used to be made there. * * * California has a demon trackster coming up this season. He is Phil Barber, a sophomore in the Blue and Gold institution. A few days ago he was credited with doing the century in 9 9-10 seconds on a muddy track. Experts down south predict he will cut that down before the season is over. Looks like another sprinting cham pion to be turning out from Califor nia. Paddock, Kirksey, Murchison, and others have carried the state of California to victory. Here’s an other chance for the southerners. » * • A potential Olympic candidate is Tiny Hartranft of Stanford. The big fellow is getting careless with the weights and slinging them to unheard of distances this spring. He passed the world’s record in the shot by sev eral inches, but stepped out of the ring. He heaves the discus well up around Duncan ’s world mark. It is possible that the big Red Shirt will oreak both of these records before the season closes in .Tune. He will j have an excellent chance of accom panying the Olympic team to Paris this summer. » * « Our own intramural situation brings to mind the same/branch of activity at California. Here less than 20 organizations indulge in athletics, or did. At California during the past intramural basketball season 50 fra ternities held an elimination contest to decide the championship. 1 he Blue and Gold carry on an ex tensive inter-class and intramural ath letic program. Inter-class football, basketball, baseball and track is held. A arsity sports and intramural and inter-class sports afford athletic train ing for fully 75 per cent of the 4000 men students at California. Califor nia is up and coming in the athletic world. Look at tho football and track championships that ifndy Smith and Walter Christie are walking away with. There must be something under neath that. To be sure they get good athletes from the high schools and they make good athletes in their in tramurnl sports. Oregon might look over the situation at the Blue and Gold and see the results. | -— DELTA ZETA HOUSE MOTHER SERIOUSLY ILL Mrs. Grace Russell, Delta Zeta house mother, is critically ill in the Pacific Christian hospital, hav ing just undergone a serious opera tion. Mrs. Russell’s son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Al len Russell, have come from Port land to be with Mrs. Russell. The | Delta Zeta barn dance has been ' indefinitely postponed. i Dr. E.K. Adams Is Scout Leader i Campus Visitor Likes Co-Education > “ “ Co-edueation is the funflamen tal type of education, and I am j a great believer in it and tre- ' mendously interested in the way it ' is working out. However, women’s colleges have an advantage in giv- ’ ing the girl more experience in ’ responsibility and initiative,” de- ^ dared Dr. Elizabeth Kemper Adams 1 of New York, national educational * secretary of the Girl Scout associa- 1 tion, and alumni trustee of the Vas- 1 »ar board of trustees. Dr. Adams ' is on a trip through the country in the interest of training leaders for Girl Scouts. A delightfully interesting woman is Dr. Adams. Her large brown eyes bespeak' kindliness, her face always ready to bestow a smile. She has regular features, even white teeth, pretty gray hair peeping from beneath the brim of a black hat trimmed in feathers of the same shade, a blue tailleured frock, and a fur in which a nosegay of wild orchids reposed. Dr. Adams graduated from Vas sar, took her doctor’s degree at the University of Chicago in philoso phy and psychology, and for nine years was professor of education at Smith college. In her official capacities with the Girl Scout movement, she has been visiting and inspecting various centers where the work is well organized, since the end of January having been as far as Honolulu. On the islands there are ,1,400 Girl Scorjts, she stated. “I came into the Girl Scout move ment to try a new experiment in training leaders,” asserted the edu cator. At the present time these courses are given in 80 institutions, and 2)500 students in the past year j and a half have taken them. Dr. 1 Adams hopes to have a regional institution in the west by next year. Asked what her opinion was on the co educational institution ver sus the girls’ college, she laughed and said, “Well, I think there’s room for both kinds. That’s hedg ing, isn’t if?” The soft voice with slight “Yawker’s” accent con tinued. “In a country where both men and women participate, it is good to have both.” It depends on the type of girl and the part of the country, she believed, but the college for girls exclusively has the slight edge in better training i them. “I’ve been very interested in ■ocations for women,” said Dr. ; tdams, who stated that last year! he had writ'ten and published a 100k on “Women Professional ! Vorker.” The author declared that roman must consider what she does cith her leisure as well as her Fork, and that the Girl Scout move nent is a good way to utilize her eisure in civil work. Dr. Adams expects to reach Chi cago for the national convention md training week of the Girl Jcouts, to be held the latter part if April and first part of May. Many women were patiently caiting to talk with the interest ng Dr. Adams and with a “I be ieve that is all,” the interview ras over and enthusiastically she urned to dissertate on her “ex leriment,” to the surrounding Fomen surging about her. 1 Iced Punch AFTER CANOEING After canoeing for an hour or so nothing tastes quite so good as an ice cold drink.

Cl f ice boy and editor Volume 3 SUNDAY, A. M. Number 20 _ New Student Union Shown for First Time by Krier [College Klub Favors Big Campus Project Whoopee! Student Union. Obak’s Eerier is glad to be the first to show 1 picture of the new edifice in the :irst stages of construction. See all he sheckels left over!

Of course everyone knows hat Obak puts out the best smokes md smoke implements possible, and ris chef is becoming more prized ev ;ry day for the grub that is so well iked—but after all it’s the Student Union idea that brings the boys lown. Down here the fellows meet on even :erms, and in delving back into the ithletic history of the college, ^br Crashing out the problems of the rack and field, many a man is given m insight into his University that Jeeps him going when he is about to Irop out. iiiaiitiMfliniiilBiinniimininiiiiHiiiiMiiiiiHiiitMiiiinn Many a tired student has been braced to another term’s grind by a little wholesome recreation on the pool or billard tables, and many a depress ed “pigger” has gone home to a peaceful night’s sleep after a warm meal at the lunch department. Obak’s Kollege Klub is for the Student Union—for a union that will make Good Fellows—and Good Fel lows all gather at Obak’s. Hurrah for Haddon!
