The Kick-off Value
Ever since the Oregon students raised over $200,000 toward
the five-million-dollar goal of the University gift campaign, the
A. S. U. 0. and Emerald administrative offices have been flooded
with letters from alumni and former students congratulating
the student body and telling of the great value of the campus
success in inspiring alumni workers to greater efforts for their
Alma Mater.
It was one of the main arguments of the Student Union
solicitors that the raising of the Union fund would mean a mil
lion dollars wortli of impetus to the main gift campaign. Al
though the campus campaign has been over for only a few weeks
this argument has been proved entirely sound.
Every town or city, where Oregon graduates reside, has
heard of the remarkable accomplishment of Oregon students.
What Oregon did during that week, ending April 26, was one
of the main topics of discussion at every one of the alumni ban
quets which were held recently to promote the gift campaign.
The dollars of students are producing thousands more for a
greater Oregon, just as the Union campaign chiefs promised
they would.
Back in New York city the message of the campfts success
helped inspire a large gathering of former Oregonians. The fol
lowing letter from Allen Eaton, '02, to Claude Robinson, presi
dent of the Associated Students, gives some idea of what the
alumni there are doing and of the interest which graduates of
Oregon take in the activities on their home campus.
“ .... Your welcome message came in good time and was
read at the dinner.
“As eliairman of the Metropolitan District, including New
York city and environs, 1 would like to extend the warm-j
est congratulations of the former Oregon students here for the
splendid and inspiring record of pledges by the present students
of the University. We are as prom! of what you have done as we
are anxious to make a good record ourselves.
“Would you mind doing me a favor? Would you tell
the folks that run the Oregon Emerald that it is one of the
best edited college publications that 1 see. Then will you tell
the Old Oregon staff that this publication is the best thing
that has ever happened to Oregon alumni.
“As to tin1 campaign, I wish 1 could tell you how esseufial
to its success 1 think are such a student-body and such campus
publications.
“Our reunion of fifty-one former Oregon students is quite
the largest ever hold here, but not the largest that we will hold.
There are former students as far back as 1887 (Miss Philura
Murch) and as recent as ,1‘)23 (Miss Alberta Potter).
“In addition to other telegrams to various alumni meetings,
we have sent an expression of appreciation to Mrs. Fannv Gar
rison Villard. whose husband. Henry Yillurd. was, and still is,
the outstanding benefactor of the University of Oregon. Mrs.
Villard, who is well and active, has just written our commit
tee: ‘The Oregon telegram surprises and delights me and will
deeply gratify my sons when they see it. The good that men
do sometimes lives after them, but Mr. Villard seldom, if ever,
had so great a reward for a kindly act as from the Oregon Uni
versity at Eugene. That his wife and children are permitted
to have so large a share in it gives them great joy. ’ ’’
The Student Union building will mean much to the campus
but it can never have the value, in itself, of the spirit which
was created in raising the money to erect it.

One of the most acceptable

that pulled itself under my
door the other day.
To the Editor:
Sir, I am sure that you will sym
pathize with me in my deplorable
condition. Were you ever at a loss
for a word to express your feel
ings? That is my situation.
Word after word is passing
through my mind and so it is time
that 1 use one of them or they
will he gone and with them my
purpose.
The word I have chosen is “ob
noxious. ” As you can see, it is
not a pretty word, but is, however,
more or lesis capable of exprdfesing
that which I am about to say.
In other words, it is most
descriptive of your “Emerald
Aisle.” Really, sir, the taste
left in my mind after reading
your column was nothing if
not dark brown.

At the Theatres

Given a really dramatic story
and setting, first rate acting, and
a half-dozen big thrills, a motion
picture is likely to create a sensa
tion. That was just the result last
night at the Rex theater at the
opening of “The Shooting of Dan
MjcGrew,” a Sawyer-Lubin produc
tion released through Metro. This
is one of the biggest films of the
year; it is a production that will
live in the annals of the motion
picture industry.
The cast was of superlative qual
ity, including Barbara La Marr as
The Lady Known as Lou, Lew Cody
as Dangerous Dan McGrew, Percy
Marmont as The Stranger, Mae
Busch as Lou’s companion, George
Siegmann as the Malamute Man,
and a host of others.

University of Wisconsin — (By
P. I. N. S.)—Members of the jour
nalism house, an organization of
women students in journlism at the
University of Wisconsin, have just
incorporated and adopted the name,
“Ooranto.” The name is taken
from the title of the first English
newspaper published in Holland in
the seventh century.
The journalism house was first
organized in 1920 to provide a place
for a group of women journalism
students to live and board together.
It was the first women’s profes
sional journalism fraternity in the
country, and Prof. W. G. Bleyer,
director of the Wisconsin course in
journalism, was active in its organi
zation.
