Floyd Greeley _-3> Junior Week-end 1924 The campus is trying a new experiment this year—a prepper less Junior Week-end. The change was made because the old guest tradition had become too top-heavy. Now the campus is a little doubtful how the new idea will work, but it continues to feel relief that the usual stampede of juveniles is going to be avoided. Something more worthwhile can come out of this Junior Week-end than was possible before. That something is the carrying out of an idea which was in the minds of those who first suggested the new kind of week-end festivity. Junior Week-end can be made a time when Oregon students get together as one great family of students to play. Oregon plays ordinarily, but group distinctions break it up. If the Junior Week-end committee wants the event to be successful in a way which will rejunevate, to some extent, the spirit of old Oregon, they will see that the program is carried out in that spirit. Open houses maintained at living organizations, impromptu dances, senior cop parades, informal contests, such as ball games between classes, have been suggested to carry out the idea. Seniors who are living the last few weeks they will ever spend as University students realize how much such a week-end would add to their memories of Oregon. Without preppers the prom should be made as much of a glorious, comradely get together as possible, with a soft-pedal on too much formality. Junior Week-end should be the time of new friendships and the renewing of old ones. It will come at the end of the annual political struggle. Student administrators have asked that after elections are over the battle should be forgotten and all get together tot Oregon. Junior Week-end, carried out in the way a prepper-less Junior Week-end should be, will serve the pur pose of uniting the campus anew. The Junior Vod-vil Oregon liked the Junior Vod-vil. There was a loeal interest and a colorful display of talent that was refreshing. The gen erous applause which the large student audiences gave the two evening performances labeled the affair a real success. There was a real value in Saturday night’s event. Like other productions of a similar nature it brought out talent that was entirely unknown. It was a strikingly successful local-talent debut of such students as Miss Setters and Miss Griffith. To mention all the others who deserve credit is impossible here. Suffice to say that the results showed capable directing and much hard work. There were acts on the program that were not up to pro fessional standards. They could not be expected to be. A local talent production must be judged as such and critics must re member that such campus productions are produced by people who have many other interests such as scholastic endeavor. On the other hand there were acts that approached profes sional excellence. One such was the skit written by Miss Imogene Letcher. Oregon is fortunate to be enjoying the ben efits from Miss Letcher’s talent even after she has finished her course here. The financial success of the Vod-vil is also highly creditable. A. S.

Twelve men will represent the frosh in a dual track meet with Columbia university on Multnomah field this afternoon. The Men’s Glee club will give a home concert in the Methodist church on Friday evening, May 11. The “Student Union” number of Lemon Punch is off the press. I>r.

Seniors have lagged during the past week in making pledges to the Student Union fund. “Get the Classified Ad habit.” At the Theatres **►---- ^ BEX Gene Stratton Porter’s “A Girl of the Limberlost,” at the Rex theater, is a picture that is an inspiring story of life worth while. Adaptod from the novel it brings to the screen all the riches and beauty of this widely read out-of-doors romance. The scenes of the books made fam ous by the word painting of the au thoress are now revealed on the screen. Romance and beauty supplemented bv artistic settings, photography that is delightfully beautiful, and play ers who are admirably chosen for flair parts and who do everything that could be desired with the roles | ss'gned to them-—all of these things | omhine to make “A Girl of ‘ho Limberlost” a picture that is woith going to see. | The histrionic ability of Gloria Grey, Gertrude Olmsted, Cullen Lan dis, Raymond McKee, Emily Pit z oy and Arthur Currier, stand out ! iviitly. Other parts are in the capa ble hands of Alfred Allen, Jack Daugherty and iiuth Stonehouse. •* V (tirl of rh> Limberlost,” which opened its locnl engagement at the Rex theater last evening, will c n jtmue there for two days more. CASTLE Carmel Myers, whose screen ward robes always have been looked upon as the last word in up-to-the-moment feminine attire, probably has out done all previous performances of her modiste by appearing in the casino :scenes in “Poisoned Paradise,” the feature now at the Castle theater, in a gown of spun silver thread and i brilliants. The combination is such that even Clara Bow, heroine of the story, admitted that Kenneth Har lan might well be excused for so gen uinely falling into the plot of the story and succumbing to the wiles of so attractive a villainous. CLUB TO SEE STEREOPTICAN VIEWS PORTRAYING FRANCE Stereopticon views of France will be shown before a meeting of the French chib Tuesday evening at 7:30 in Professor F. S. Dunn’s room, Oregon hall. Election of officers will conclude the gathering . Everyone who has had one or more years of French is invited. The Emerald Aisle By Enigma It was a beautiful spring af I ternoon. In fact it was that sort of day which makes one stand up for his own rights, take off his tie, throw his collar to the seven winds, walk a tight-*ope across the millrace and shout “I’m forever blowing bubbles!” But for several reasons, 1 knew this would he foolish, so I strolled dcjwn the boulevard instead. AS I WALKED ALONG, I WATCHED SOME DEAR LITTLE [ants come out of their Ihive on the opposite of the ROAD. ... Suddenly, who should I run arnuk with hut Kelly, himself. “Kelly,” said I, “where’s that $25 you owe me?” ..“Sir,” answered Kelly, “you have some logic in your system, I judge?” Blushing, I admitted it. “Then do you know how much this country is in debt?” “How much?” I asked. “Hun dreds of thousands of dollars. Do you know how much France is in debt?” Again I showed my ignorance. “Millions. Do you kndw how much Germany is in debt? Billions of dol lars. ” “Can it be!” I shrieked. “It is the pure and unsophisticated truth,” ho sobbed. “And so why,” he reasoned, “should you be so anxious about the $25 I owe you?” As I looked down at him, many various remedies I had seen advertised passed through my mind. But it was 6 o’clock and I decided to return home for dinner and let nature take its course. Sallie Slob has withdrawn the statement that someone broke into her house last night and stole her thousand dollar necklace. She found it this morning underneath her third chin. THE OTHER night, Peter and his brother, Bart, went out in the country to steal some chickens. Just as they picked up a fine big rooster, the thing left out a squawk that could be heard a mile away. THE OLD FARMER HEARD IT AND CAME RUNNING OUT OF THE HOUSE WITH A BIG GAT EASILY TEN FEET LONG. PETER WAS THE ONE WHO WAS IN SIDE THE COOP HANDING OUT THE BOOTY TO BART. When the farmer came along, Peter crawled back into the chicken house, |but BnrJ was a half mile down the | road. The farmer shot at him, but | when the bullet came even with him, Bart quickened his pace and the bul let just lay on his neck and went along with him. HERE'S ONE FOR THE B. A. MAJORS!!!

So low, im fact that I scarcely knew which end of a knife to eat mashed pota toes from. I thought to myself, “I will go to college and mingle with the ‘gente decente’ and perhaps after several years of this I shall ac cumulate enough polish so that I can go home and not be in terror of mak ing a faux pas.” I received a jolt when I came to .eollege. I became acquainted with a I small number of students who boarded at the same place I did. I found that certain members of this “gento decente” could and did attack nour-1 ishment in such a way that would i make an Arkansas razor-back blush for shame; Thought I, “ This is certainly not typical of all students, I will look elsewhere,” I did, but with lfftle sat isfaction. In the largest eating hall on the campus I have seen a man stuff one cheek full of meat, the other full of potatoes and the rest of his mouth full of bread, wash it down with milk and start the oper- j ation over again. Nor are table manners the only thing I was concerned with. I learned that it was not bad-man- j nered at Oregon to rush to the door j at the end of the class, push the girls out of the way and get out first and i then let the door slam in their faces. Two days ago a girl fell in the gut- j ter under the nicotine tree. Three men standing only six feet away turned and stared, never offering the least assistance. Before I could get there she had gone some distance, but ; being rather fussed and in a hurry she had left a lot of things which had spilled out of her hand-bag. ly- j ing halfway across the street. As I was picking her things up the young I men stood on the curb and passed cute remarks, such as “You’ll have to sprint to catch up with her now.” It never entered their heads that they might have helped me or done it ( themselves. (They represented three |classes, the first three.) While this may not be typical of 'all Oregon students, it is typical of ! entirely too many. I am beginning jto think that I will have to spend an- j (other term in the army to wear off the “polish” accumulated at Oregon. Yours truly, FELIX RAMSEY. Bead the Classified Ad Column.
