It is not a publicity feat promoted by the presi dent of the student body. It is not a snare to entrap any un suspecting student. It is an effort of the entire campus to express its interest in the development of the University of Oregon, and the attainment of the Greater University. Of necessity any extensive undertaking must have leaders. Those who assume the responsibility for the Student Union are representatives of the student body. Their task is to express the sentiment of their constituents; their interest is the wel fare of the student body; their determination is to carry out the tasks assigned and fulfill the responsibilities assumed. Alone, theirs would be an impossible undertaking. Aided, these leaders can carry through their highly organized plans to a crowning termination. There is not a student who can af ford to show only a passing interest in what is about to hap pen. He who says, “Let the other fellow do it,” is a shirker. The success of the Student Union drive depends upon two things—the flawless organization carrying on the work, and the happy reception by the student body of the opportunity to do some good. Hence, the man whose assistance is sought in this movement should seize the chance to help boost. And he who is ap proached, when the time comes to make his contribution, should do so, knowing he is acting in good faith with himself, and in a charitable spirit toward his University. Go to Church on Easter Tomorrow is Easter, the (lay campus tradition has always set as the main “go to church Sunday” of the year. Yesterday’s Emerald told of the special services in the downtown churches, and it is expected that every place of worship in Eugene will be filled. The history of the day is interesting, especially in the light of the way we moderns regard it. From the time of Constan tine, continuing through many centuries, Easter was also New Year. It is the most ancient and has always been counted the most important of the Christian festivals. The name, like the days of the week, is a survival of Teutonic mythology. The Easter month corresponded to our April, and after our ancestors be came Christian, says Bede, “the old festival was observed with the gladness of a new solemnity.” It is time there were a more general observance on our cam pus of this great “festival of flowers and the immortal hope.” Most of us profess attachment of some sort to the Christian faith. That faith is supremely a faith in immortality. Such a faith built the Pyramids, caused Socrates to despise the poison as something that could not touch his soul, and Plato to utter arguments that thrill to this day. Let’s go to church, Easter. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH TO HOLD EASTER BREAKFAST The Christian Endeavor of the Presbyterian church and the Rev. Bruce J. Giffon’s Sunday morning Bible class, which meets at the “Y” hut every Sunday morning, will hold an Easter breakfast at the Central Presbyterian church Sun day moruing. Communion services will be held at the same time, with the Rev. Giffen officiating.

AGAINST PEDDLERS To the editor: Lately, an out-of-town clothing firm, a shoe firm, and other mer chandise firms have been invading Eugene to reap a harvest from the students of the University. Granted that their wares may be worth the money, reliable in every way, and of excellent quality, should the students patronize them! These firms are not even Oregon firms, they pay no taxes in Ore gon. All the money they receive goes clear out of the state. Not a bit of it comes back in taxes, the state does not even benefit from the re-investment of the money. So, is it fair for students to patronize these itinerants? An in vestigation has revealed that goods of equal quality can be obtained in Eugene, and that dollar value for dollar value the wares can be matched in any of the leading downtown stores. The Eugene merchants are staunch and loyal supporters of the University. Already they have aided materially in the gift cam paign, and they are going to help some more. At least, the students should go down town and compare prices and quality and styles before purchas ing from the travelling firms. Per haps some students might be sur prised to know that an investiga tion revealed that the same brand of goods recently sold by a “na tional” clothier can be obtained down town at lesser prices. Patronize local firms—anyway when local firms are superior in every way! A STUDENT. ANSWERING “BAB" To the editor: Why is it that someone, general ly once or twicte a year, comes through with a story of what so and-so institution is doing? I am making reference to the article 1 that appeared recently signed by J “Rab” Reavis. If “Rab,” as he terms himself, likes O. A. C.’s way of conducting i student body dances, why, then, < does he not transfer to the Cor- i vallis institution I am sure the I registrar will gladly grant him a i transfer and then he will be fully able to enjoy himself and also pick ] his dates to suit his fancy. I won- , der, “Rab,” if the reason that you , like the O. A. C. custom is that , the “wall-flowers” are the only ( ones thrft will give you any atten tion. , Here is something to think about, ( “Rab.” You must take into con sideration that each institution the , country over has its own customs and ideals. If it is your desire to be better pleased with one custom aB that at O. A. C. than the one j enjoyed here, the stages still run , regularly to O. A. C. Remember J that variety is the spice of life. If O. A. C. life appeals to you, then adios.

Oregon, registered in the State Christian Endeavor con vention, held in Eugene last ■week end, according- to reports compiled by the housing committee. This is the largest convention ever held in Oregon, said E. P. Gates, national secretary of the Christian En deavor societies. The visitors expressed themselves as being very well pleased with Eugene in general, and particularly the campus of the University, which they toured. Most of the delegates were here for the first time, and consequently were much interested in the college, which many of them will attend at some future date. The officers for the coming year were elected at a session of the convention, several of them being former or present students of the University of Oregon. They are: President, Mary Guiley of the Uni versity extension division; vice presidents, Ed Geiger of Portland, and Mrs. Effie Bitchie of Free water; secretary, Vj0la Ogden of Portland; treasurer, Hiram Cole, Coquille; superintendent of inter mediate work, Dallas Bice, Univer sity of Oregon senior; educational superintendent, Walter L. Myers of E. B. U. Leo -Deffenbecker, of the Campus barber shop, was elected president of the Lane county district. Elaine Cooper, past president of the Christian En deavor association of the state and former student of the University, automatically took the position of executive advisor. ( Editorially Clipped | o--<«> OREGON ’ S INTERPRETATION The action taken by the students of the University of Oregon in mak ing the junior week-end an all cam pus affair bears interest to Reed stu dents as well. The decision to make the event a college affair alone was arrived at in preference to total abol ition, or continuance in its present form. The Oregon students felt that the advertising gained was not of the right sort, being only of a social na ure; that only a small percentage of ho guests were influenced to attend die University; that the pleasant areak in the scholastic work only mused physical and finaneal over vork on the part of the entire eol ege; that it should not be kept up inly because of the tradition; that mch features as the canoe fete and ithletic carnival were desirable. Many persons in the junior class it Reed have raised the same sub tantial objections in regard to Reed lay. Reed day has never been a mere locial event, and the canoe fete, to >e continued at Oregon, is considered inessential by many at Reed. The junior class has already com neneed preparations of a preliminary lature. The committees desire the ipinion of the students in regard to he form and date to be taken by Reed lay. The Quest needs expression of pinion to keep going and the junior lass needs it to get going.—Reed College Quest. 1EPAINTING OP NEVADA *N’ PREVENTED BY WEATHER 'University of Nevada—(P. I. N. 5.)—For the first time in years, he university “N” will not have ts semi-annual coat of whitewash 'or Mackay Day. Heretofore it has >een an established rule that the 'reshman class shall have the letter minted by Mackay Day, but this rear, owing to the inelement veather, Block N. set aside the ule and has given the class per nission to delay the work one veek. Patronize Emerald Advertisers The Emerald Aisle By Enigma I stood before the cashier’s window. The finst of the month had arrived. In all my years of experience, I have learned at least one thing. That it pays to be observing. I always take advantage of the most oppor tune psychological moments. Here was my chance. The cashier was a lean little fellow with tig feet and green eyes. His long hair hung to his shoulders and very neatly cov ered his large bald head. * • My observation completed, I drew my $50,000.50. This is the 18th of the month and I have only 50 cents left. But don’t be alarmed. I’ve put it into a good investment. * • • Two boys came around today and told me they were raising fun for somebody that sounded like Cliff Champagne. Anyway the name had a very beautiful liquid sound and they wanted to get some money to play some joke on Cliff or some thing. Yesterday Peter and I strolled up to Spencer’s butte to hock holly and pick holly hocks. But as we found none we decided to search for some contour lines. It proved to he a most unusual af ternoon, for we made two astounding discoveries. In the first place, as we rounded a point, we happened onto two contours that cross each other. Immediately we made the fact Tcnoivn to the state bureau of geolo gical survey and are now awaiting our reward. Secondly, As we climbed up higher on the hill The grass was growing ’round. Did you ever see a thing like that! Round grass upon the ground We have finally solved the mystery of the numerous campus signs on which are written, “C. K. B.” C. K. B. is a women’s organization and we are told that it stands for “Ootque ans of the Khaki Breeches.” Long live dis order. * » • Here’s record of a mam named Wedge, Who found he was not able To keep his Student Union pledge, And still eat at the table. They brought him into court today, His trial he did dispute. This case, the honorable judges say, Was a Student Union suit. • • » Mr. A. D.

WE BELIEVE IN STUDENT UNION. ABSOLUTELY! Maybe you don't remem ber, but the Oregana was the first “STU DENT UNION.” It was the first meeting and eating place of the students. It is still the place where the students meet and eat. Eating Is Believing99 Furnishing Campaign Must Start Say Students Student Union Will Be a Fine Building, But Where Do We Sit? Ever since the Krier published the first picture of the new student union last week the entire campus has been in a turmoil of excitement and every body is all hopped up about getting moved in. The most recent compli cation of matters has come with the question of furniture. Many of the women are all in favor of installing pool and billiard tables so that the new student union will be just like the old original Kol lege Klub. There is some opposition j to this on the grounds that the new 'union should not compete with the Klub in this field. There is one thing, though, that is unanimous—everybody wants a snow ! white lunch counter and food just [like that at Obak’s. Perhaps with this point so definitely settled the rest will gradually work out. One thing is sure, that is that with the Obak’s Klub to use as a model the committee will have very little dif ficulty in designing a union that will satisfy the students. Now what will we have for the art gallery, ask some of the students t That too is easy—Obak has an art gallery that has pleased generations past and will be a delight to the future worshippers of true art and sport. So student union it is, a union with the same sort of fellowship and com raderee that has made Obak’s Kol lege Klub the delight and salvation of Oregon men for years. Political Editorial The Krier is beginning to get ex cited. In fact the Krier is very much worried. Try as we may, we don’t seem to be able to get anybody to run for office around this place. Every now and then some fellow does come around and tap us on the back, but so far nobody has been so forward as to offer us a cigar, and we are still forced to roll our own out under the proverbial bush. What is wrong around here? Have all of the politicians flunked out of school? Isn’t somebody going to prolhote somebody soon? There has not even been anybody come around to apply for the editorship of the Krier, and this is the first time in history that there hasn’t been at least three or four candidates by the middle of April! The Krier offers one political sug gestion: It is certain that therfe will eventually be some candidates; and it is also certain that there will emerge out of this group a gang of “also rans,” or “lame ducks.” To these let us say that hundreds before you have found comfort and relief from disappointment by coming to the Klub for food, smoke and relax ation. It’s early in the game, but you can always be sure that somebody loves you. Remember OBAK’S.
