UNION DRIVE MODEL TRAVELS OVER STATE The little plaster of paris model of the future campus, which was placed in front of the library dur ing the Student Union drive, has been traveling about the state since Friday. It was displayed for the betterment of the alumni Gift Campaign. The model, which was designed by C. D. James, an architect of Portland, is too fragile to be en trusted to trains, so it was loaded into the little Ford truck belong ing to the University and driven by a University employee. Stops were made in Astoria, Portland, Pallas and Oregon City. At each place the model was displayed for a day and an evening in a hotel or store. The truck, with its deli cate load, returned to the campus Wednesday night. —Hear J.

Dodge is also capable of a fast 440. Gerhart showed well in the sprints up at Washington, and lie and Lucas should run a good race Saturday. In the other events, Oregon has a fairly even break. Cleaver, Kelsey and Oarruthers in the hur dles going against Baker, Gerhart, Good and Robinson, should return their share of points. Of course, Captain Ralph Spearow should garner in a few credits in the pole vault, broad and high jumps for the Lemon-Yellow squad. Ebv is also in condition to gi\*e competi tion in the high jump. Without Rosebraugh, the relay team will be somewhat weakened, although Hermanee has been going good and will probably take his place. Kinney, Ager and Risley can be depended on to do their share in winning the five points from this competition. —Hear Stitt Wilson— ‘HIS HOUSE IN ORDER’ SHOWS CLEVER LINES (Continued from page one) ! Brown, as the frigid Geraldine, gave the exponents of catharsis ample opportunity to purge them selves of their stored up contempt and dislike. Paul Krausse, fortun ate in having the only really sym pathetic. part in the play, lent the chief dramatic touch to the pro I duction. The part of Filmer Jesson, taken by Dave Swanson, is arrogant and stupid—negative in the extreme. Swanson’s interpretation failed to overcome the inherent weakness of the part. Helga MeGrew, as the French governess, gave a continen tal relief to the stiff English at mosphere. The great weakness of “His House in Order” lies in the fact that the author has made all, or nearly all, of his characters • nega tive. The Ridgelvs are “sticks,” Hilray is a sentimentalist, Nina a too-submissive slave. Pinero pulls the wrong strings if he would arouse sympathetic heart throbs. Or does he desire that? One won ders. after the play is over, whether the lvhole thing is not ironical, with the “happy” ending —Nina returned to prestige in the eyes of her cold-hearted husband —'whether this is not the final Nstro^e of -derisive irony. —Hear J.

WOODBURY Friend of Emerson Explains How Works of Great Author Should Be Read A man who has the interests of the young people at heart, who be lieves in helping them, is Charles J. Woodbury, friend of Emerson and lecturer on Emerson. His ad vice to young people is “The main thing is to wake up.” “So many young people go around in a sort of stupor,” he said, in an interview yesterday. “They should get over this. They should make their minds work for them.” Too many people, continued Mr. Woodbury, can not be company for themselves. They have to live out side of themselves. “That is what makes some people, on a rainy day, yawn and wonder what to do. And they descend to bridge,” he went on, “or to that new Chinese game, Mah Jongg. They should learn to live in the upper stories of their minds. Then their own houghts and meditations will be sufficient company for them.” “People of today should learn to think,” believes Mr. Woodbury. “They should study their own thoughts and meditations. More thoughts will come if you use those that you have.” “That is one of the beauties of Emerson,” he continued. “He makes you think, he arouses you, there is something electrical about him.” When Mr. Woodbury speaks of Emerson, his eyes light up, his voice, always earnest, becomes more so. His whole bearing shows reverence for that great man. As lie recalls some incident of his as sociation with Emerson, a smile, that brings kindly wrinkles around the corners of his eyes, lights his face. “The way to read Emerson is a line or two at a time,” said Mr. Woodbury. “Read a few lines and then get your own impressions from it. Emerson should be read the way you read Scripture or the way you read poetry. You wouldn’t Rose LaVogue Beauty Shop Shampooing, marcelling, scalp treatments and hair goods made trf order.

You wouldn’t think of galloping through the Scriptures, especially the New Testament, be cause of course the Old Testament is historical.” One of the things about Emer son trat Mr. Woodbury commends is his kindliness, his gentleness. Through his kindness, he helped many young people to find their niche in life. But for Emerson, Mr. Woodbury believes, we would have had no Alcott, no Thoreau. Emerson kept these men at their chosen tasks when they lacked the heart to continue. He urged Thor eau to follow up his own ideas. Alcott, who had a great interest in philosophy, he badgered into read ing Plato, Alcibiades, Socrates. “You would not believe it,” i continued Mr. Woodbury, “but Emerson was a practical man.” Mr. Woodbury cited the instance when Emerson uttered the well-known phrase, “Hitch your wagon to a star.” Contrary to popular opin ; ion, which believes that that means to aim high, to have high ideals, this Was meant for more practical affairs. This saying was made one time when Emerson and Mr. Wood bury were at the beach together. ; Emerson, noticing the tide coming I in, remarked that the moon con | trolled the tides and that the moon was a st'ar, therefore meaning to l^tch your wagon to a star, or rather, to the forces of nature, to help accomplish an undertaking. ! “It is only today that people are beginning to make use of the 'forces of nature,” lie said. “How | much cheaper it is to use water power in generating electricity than ! o to make it with engines. More and more will people use nature’s forces,” he prophesied. EXECUTIVE COUNCIL HAS LAST MEETING (Continued from page one) ] the first week of the season of the ! sport being coached.
