Who Steals My Purse Steals Trash” If a man be entertained at music, his emotions are aroused ky the delicacy of a Chopin prelude, or the stirring tone of a Kreisler serenade. When he engages in play, or relaxes to be amused, or settles into his Morris chair by the fireside for a quiet evening of reading, he can be lost in exultation and be quite a strange proxy of his real self. But ask a man for money, and watch him regard you quiz xically, or, beholding you, curiously pinch the lobe of his ear to test his wakefulness. Was it money he heard you say? Surely he must have been dreaming. Why, ask a student to give his money away—he would sell himself to the deVil first. “How on earth can they expect to raise $200,000 in this poverty-striken student body?” This question lingers on won dering lips. To hear people talk, to discover a penny in a stu dent’s pocket would be the mineralogical revelation of the age. The student body would be sad quarry for the Artful Dodger. It is as bereft as the histrionic Twist himself. Who carries more than a ’kerchief in her vanity box—or should we have said “compact”—who can show more than his beloved’s picture or an n. s. f. bank notice in his wallet, is merely the victim of good fortune, or a representative type of the college spendthrift. Is there really a poverty complex abiding here? Has it come to this—-that a piece of silver is a curiosity? Surely the pessimist paints a lugubrious scene. A stray tearlet must flood the eyelet of the droll connoisseur whose indulgence is ours. Ah, a sad state indeed! How very disappointing that those dear students, representative of the last vestige of idealism, with base abandon should fling aside lofty inspirationalism, and should descend to the revolting reality of financial decrepi tude ! Money! How cold the word seems. But it can have the chameleon virtue of changing its tone. We must make sacrifice. We must manifest gratitude. We can consider what has been done for us and calculate our appreciation in terms of the size of our pledge. For we are going to pledge to student union. Yes. money is a cruel thought; but it’s, after all, a mere symbol. On Criticising Criticisms In another column of this issue is an objection of the Emer ald’s policy of reviewing campus productions. The Emerald is glad to know that there has been enough interest aroused in the contents of the paper to bring forth such a letter. One fault of the campus this year has been its lack of interest in things that directly concerned it. The Emerald lias intentionally varied from the old policy of sugar-sop criticisms and has made a sincere attempt to have campus offerings criticised fairly. There has certainly been no campaign to embarass any one or to show an unfriendly spirit; on the other hand public offerings sponsored by campus groups have been given more than ordinary amount of publicity. The Emerald feels that to give the campus an unbiased im pression of a program is its duty and that criticism in the cam pus newspaper should make for better effort. An attempt has been made to get away from the ancient habit of saying nice things about everything that comes along. Student critics do make mistakes, to be sure, but they must be given credit for doing their best. The results of their work this year have been characterized for the most part by disinter ested students and faculty members as “very creditable.” Their spirit has been good—which is more than could always be said of those who attacked what they wrote. The Emerald wants to serve the entire campus. Oregon is no longer a small college. Public offerings, whether they be student newspaper or a local talent play, have to take their chances with the public. Criticism of the Emerald is welcomed as a stimulus for improvement. It should be said to the credit of those whose work has been the basis of critical articles, that they have been very fair in their attitude and for the most part have indicated that suggestions, where they were fair, were all right. Most of the objection to the Emerald policy has come from a few who desired special favors, or from an entirely dis interested party, such as the writer of the communication which is printed today.

The Emerald Aisle By Enigma j I Folks, among your thousands of life-time pleasures, have you ever experienced that of meeting Peter, my office spark? He plugs along every day, unmindful of his intense beauty. To me he was an invaluable find1—he is a perfect statuette of efficiency. He has been raised by Lynn C. i Doyle, a celebrated hair doser, and he now puts into practice to a great extent Doyle’s methods. Truly Ms hair is marvelous, long, black and shimmering. “Peter’s dome is one of the archi tectural masterpieces of old and new Rome. ” It is vdfy difficult to ap proach him on deforestation, for this subject is farthest from his mind. I sent Peter to look for a family by the name of Webster the other day. Ho was to collect some apologies which have been duo me for some time. Once he stopped at the wrong door. “Know a Webster around here, lady,?” ho asked. “I thought ho died in 1843, sir,” was the reply. And so he had, we found later, by looking it up in some dictionary or other. And now, people, let me finish by placing at the end of this aisle, a line o’ verse or three. Like this: A bunch of the boys were cutting it up In biology lab one day, When all in an instant In came the assistant And boy! What that man didn’t say! He raved and he ranted, He sang and he chanted. He exposed all his thoughts Of those present that day. “ l ’ll have ymi arrested. Maimed, hung and adustcd. You’ve taken my pet, For which deed you shall die.” Then up spoke a bold one, his blood running hot, “Sir prof, wo admit that this cat’s mis-be-got. We’ve looked in the alleys, We’ve looked in the valleys. We’ve scoured the town from the peak to the O. But what we can’t see. Is the difference there be. Between your skinny kitten, And one owned by me. Therefore the proofreader an nounces that counting the mistakes in this aisle is not unlike taking in ventory in a tack factory. OREGON ALUMNAE NOW TRAVELING IN ITALY The latest news from Jeanette Calkins and Katherine Dobie, comes from a card written on a train be- j tween Venice and Florence. Miss Kdgington received it Monday from Italy, where the travellers were spending several days before their return to Paris, where they sail the HOth for New York. Miss Calkins says: “I like Venice best of the Italian cities I have seen so far.”; ! Communications Letters to the EMERALD from stu dents and faculty members are welcomed, but must be signed and worded concisely. If it is desired, 'the writer’s name will be kept out of print. It must be understood that the editor reserves the right to reject communications. ❖--O “BLEST BE THE TIE” To the Editor: Cannot the aims of adverse criti cism be as well served with less of tbe personal mention that has ap peared in the reviews of some of our campus social activities—notably, the local production of the “Hour Hand” and the more recent women’s glee club concert? Without going to the extreme of giving a continuous barrage of praise, a practice insipid and insin cere, one does not have to swing to the opposite extreme with a type of criticism that sounds nothing short of ungracious and uncalled for. There ought to be a happy medium where the reviewing critics could produce a discriminating and intelligent resume without focusing public attention upon faults by means of the personal searchlight. Indulging in such inti mate negative judgments seems un warranted for the purpose of cam pus publication; more properly, it is the prerogative of the instructor and the classroom where, undoubtedly, an individual is properly and ade quately criticised subsequent to his performance. The excellent standards and poli cies of our school of music, as well as those of our University mnsical or ganizations, are too well established to admit the possibility of gross er rors in performance so serious as to possess news value. It would seem far more becoming, therefore, to the fostering of true Oregon spirit, that at least a more kind, not to say just, attitude, might be exhibited by the scribes toward the activities of those who represent a contemporary de partment so valuable to the Univer sity for its artistic and cultural ideals, and so necessary in our stud ent body life. And certainly an im proved style of criticism, exemplify ing more of the spirit of the school of music rather than the zeal of a journalist, would leave a better im pression with the* reading public. ALUMNUS. WHITER CRAVES WALL FLOWERS To the Editor: Being one of the number of Ore on men who attended the stunt show and dance over at O. A. C. hist weekend, it occurs to me that it might be of general interest to know that we discovered a few things that differentiates the func tion generally known over there as an “O. A. C. student body dance” from those held at “dear old Ore gon.” The first difference one is very likely to notice, especially if he be penny wise, is the price of ad mission which is only 50 cents. This, by the way, makes it easier to understand why “living ex penses” are cheaper at O. A. C. than here. Also, they have a checking system which enables you to get your hat and overcoat in less time than the proverbial j “shake.” The prime difference, however,; is the dance itself. To any one i who is accustomed to the conven tion of trading dances, generally j followed here at ’Oregon, the O. A. Coming Events TODAY 4-6 p. m.—Women’s league tea.

Take heed, you Oregon men, who might at some time attend a dance over at the “rival college”; do not be surprised or annoyed when some stalwart “aggie” steps up and dances away with your “date” without suggesting a trade, or even consulting you at all. It is the custim, so, when in Corval lis, do as the “Aggies” do. In stead of getting their dates before going to the dance, many of the men go and pick out their “dates.” A large percentage of the women, and also the men, go to the Men's gym en massee. “Wall-flowers” are very much in evidence, some thing unheard of at an Oregon student body dance. No attempt is being made here to promote a migration of men to O. A. C., but words of approbation from the Oregon bunch that went over Saturday lasted throughout the drive back to Eugene. “Keep the change, O. A. C.!” “KAB” RE A VIS. 7 ONE YEAR AGO TODAY Some High Points In Oregon Emerald of April 15, 1923 ■<*> | Emerald of April 16, 1923 | L. P. Putnam, secretary of the campus “Y,” has resigned.

MURRAY WARNER TALKS ON CHINESE ART “Three forms of religion have in fluenced Chinese art, Confucianism, Taouism and Buddhism,” said Mrs. Murray Warner in an illustrated lec ture on “Oriental Statuary as Shown in China and Japan,” to the art ap preciation class, yesterday morning. The art of China and Japan, grad ually developed under the influence of these religions. Up to 440 A. D. most of the statues were made of wood. Later on they were made in rocks, and represented some quality of Buddha in each, such as mercy, wisdom, and justice. Then they be gan to make statues that looked more like people, and the purer religion of the past was foTgotten, stated Mrs. Warner. Many pictures of ancient Chinese ! and Japanese art weft shown, in ' eluding Oriental gods, animals carved ' out of stone, interior and - exterior ; views of temples of worship and the ! summer palace of the emperor of Chipa.
