Harry Dutton Not “Pay as You Enter” “Ten dollars for ten years 1 When I can’t even rake up enough money to pay my next board bill, ’ ’ yelps a student with the “poverty complex’’ who hears that he is to be asked for a donation to the Student Union. “Calm down, Bill,” says the Student Union booster. “You’re not going to be asked to pay a cent now. Gifts to the Student Union will be made according to any arrangement that you suggest. The idea is that every student should show his or her willingness to pledge something to help along a great move ment—to show that he feels an appreciation of what the Uni versity has done for him. ’ ’ “That’s different,” says the objector. “I’m no slacker and I can see that everyone should help. Send your solicitor around. I’ll sign up.” Distinguished Visitors Campus life in such a setting as Eugene offers has a great many things in its favor ns compared with the great metropol itan universities except one thing. Opportunities, wre have to admit, of meeting big men, persons who are playing a conspicu ous part in the larger world outside, come less frequently than one might wish who realize how great a factor such contacts are in the ideal education. On the other hand, when such opportunities do occur in the smaller institution, more remote from the great centers, they are likely to take on a more intimate and personal char eater. Ex-President Meiklejohn of Amherst was brought West by the inducements offered by a group of public spirited Portland citizens and by the administration of Reed college. lie is spend ing six weeks at Reed, fulfilling the function of student ad viser, meeting individuals and groups, and offering guidance toward the achievement of the best educational results. President Scholz of Reed college, whose attitude toward the University of Oregon has always been of the utmost cordiality, is arranging to give the students here a chance to meet Dr. Meik lejohn in a more or less informal way. All are invited to meet the two visitors in Alumni hall this evening. Dr. Meiklejohn is a young man full of life and vigor. He has been a storm center of controversy more than once and is likely to be again. But whatever one may think of the var ious issues that have arisen about him, none can deny that few men living have shown such ability to stir young men to acute intellectual activity, or to shake the dry bones of complacent educational routine. The chance to hear him is one that ought not to be over looked by upperclassmen who have reached the point of ques tioning some of the academic conventions. PAINT AND CURTAINS TRANSFORM Y. M. HUT The “Y” hut has at last begun to take on a little of the “homey” attitude that Y. M. C. A. officials have long wished it to assume. The crew of painters, who have been working on and off for several months on the interior, painting the entire hut in varying shades of grey, have at last completed their job. Figured eurtains have been hung at the windows of the assembly room and even brighter curtains are to be hung in the office of the employment bureau. A large fluff rug has also been placed on the floor of the corridor. HOUSE AVERAGES WILL BE OUT BY END OF NEXT WEEK The registrar's office expects to have the house averages compiled and ready for publication about the end of next week. Under the new system of averaging, the time re quired for averaging the house grades is longer. As it is the house grades will bo ready sooner than it was at first expected. The Emerald Aisle By Enigma Peter, the office assistant, came in, flushed and excited. “Boss,” he cried, “lay your optics on that piece of scandal. Get what they did to my old pal Duke. Wait’ll I rest my feelers -on that cigar baby’s throat. Hold me, boss, hold me! And he handed me the afternoon paper. “PROMINENT CITIZEN KICKED OUT OF JOINT “Duke X. McGluke, prominent elevator boy of this city, was caught last night putting zinc slugs in a match machipe in the Koff and Naylo Cigar parlor. The proprietor, Armon Hammer, straightway opened wide the door and thew the man some fifty feet onto the opposite curb. Parts of him, however, fell at intervals of from 10 to 20 feet on his way over. His pieces were seen by approximately 5,000 people. ’’Duke’s mixture is now in the hnads of the coroner, and the date of the funeral will be an nounced at some later date.” To the Usher of the Emerald Aisle, Dear Nigs I read, with perusion, your last artical, and I am forced to make some commence. To comments with, I am an old fixture in that Doyle fam ily household which you men tioned yesterday. I mas brought up from the same country that Lynn C. Doyle and his brother, Cotton C. Doyle, were. Not only that, Nig, hut I was raised in the same elevator as Cotton and bred in the same bakery as Lynn. They’re great kids, Nig both of them. Lynn’s in business with another fellow named Stase Coe, M. D. Doing fine, too. Well, Nig, old boot, hope this artical finds you setting right. I never mean to be one of those chronical kickers, you under stand, but I know you are glad to get some constructive criticism. CHARLEY MANE. From the Editor— Dear Chucker: If you kickers knew what hap pened to the spider that just walked across this page, you’d get your feet out of the Aisle. ENIGMA.

Her name is Mrs. .J. I. Beard, and she comes from Al bany. We understand some of these secre taries are really quite talented. C. E. Wilson, who hails from Salem, for instance, is the author of a most suc cessful play which is called “Head Hunters.” The profession of commercial sec retaries must be a noble one when a minister deserts his post to join the ranks. H. C. Edgar, a former Epis copal minister in Oregon City, is now holding down the chamber of com merce secretaryship in the same city. The dignified Mr. F. E. Folts, of the school of business administration, has been leading the songs at the sessions in the most practiced man ner. Those who don’t join in have to stand up on their chairs and sing a solo. • The green caps that the first year secretaries are wearing are most be coming. Mr. L. Antles recently put on a census in his home town, Bend, and to make it perfectly honest, he ar ranged for the ministers to conduct it. He evidently doesn’t trust ordin ary mortals. When the president of the state as sociation presented a block and gavel from tho Bend commerical club Mon day, he called attention to the fact that it is made of juniper wood from Bend. B. T. Spaulding insisted that such implements would be better mado from myrtle wood from Marsh field. Tho next day the same presi dent splintered the gavel into a thousand pieces when he called the session to order. The secretaries are labeled with their names so they won’t get lost. Hast year J. H. Fuller, Ashland, received a leather prise inscribed, “The Biggest Liar in the State of Oregon,” for a speech he mado on tho selling points of his community. He went back to the national school of secretaries and won a real prize— and on tho same speech, so he states. The “I” Opener, official daily pa per, seems to be living up to its name.

BEX Picturing the splendor of the j pyramids, the inscrutability of the j sphinx and the lonely beauty of j the Egyptian desert, “The Shep. ! herd King;” opens today at thje ! Rex. j J. Gordon Edwards took his cast j to Cairo to film the production, j which was more than a year in the ! making. Violet Mersereau, who appears as Princess Michal, young, est daughter of Saul, enacts a splendid role with remarkable tal ent. The cast, chosen from the continental artists who made I “Nero,” has done an even more I impressive thing in this. Edwards J employed 5,000 Bedouins and ob tained 485 camels and nearly as ' many donkeys, to form the impres- i sive spectacle picturing Moses leading the children of Israel cut of Egypt. Nerio Bernardi, as David, is im pressive in the role, while Guido Trento, as Saul, King of Israjel, Allesandro Salvini, as Doeg, the king’s supreme general, and Edy Darclea, as Princess Merab, are cast as effectively as they were in the production of “Nero.” FREDA RUNES WITHDRAWS FROM SPRING TERM WORK Freda Runes, sophomore fine arts major, has been forced to drop her work on the campus because of the serious illness of her mother, who is in Portland. Miss Runes had charge of the art library and was a member of the main University library staff, being employed at the circulation desk. She expects to return to the campus next fall to resume her studies and hopes that by extra work she will be able to graduate with her own class.
