Don’t Dampen the Fire
Through cooperation and coordination are results attained.
“In union there is strength.”
When a student attempts to buy the prescribed textbooks
there becomes apparent a lack of this “working together” idea
between some members of the faculty and the cooperative
store.
In several courses apparently, there has been no provision
made to have any of the required books in stock, while in a
number of others there is an inadequate supply.
This inability to procure required texts is disheartening to
earnest members of the student body. It is discouraging to
dawdle along for a week or so with the knowledge that assign
ments are piling up which must be cleared. Library copies are
on reference, it is true, but with classes of twenty-five or more
members, too much of a student’s all too scant time is con
sumed in waiting until a copy is available.
This is not the fault of the University Co-op. Oregon is geo
graphically so situated that it is impossible to obtain books on
short notice. At best it takes more than a week to receive an
order from the publishing center, New York.
The remedy would seem to be more care by the faculty in
estimating in advance the book demand for the various courses.
To have a text on the first day, when the flame of determin
ation is burning bright would do much toward fanning interest
still higher and would help the student step off “with the right
foot.”
The editor has a sum of money which he will give^to the
person who c5n identify it satisfactorily. This money was
found on the campus near Villard hall and was brought to the
office for return to the owner. And yet pessimists lament
human nature is individualistic and selfish.
Over in the University print shop is a column heading with
the name “Communications” which was set aside last spring
at the close of school. It has gathered upon its once clean, yet
smudgy, face a layer of summer dust. That dust should be
brushed off.
An entering freshman class generally is a groat deal wiser
than anyone gives them credit for. Which inspires the remark
that sophomore ingenuity will necessarily be at its highest
today.
“Aviation courses advocated,” says a headline. Flying for
credit may be a new experience for some people but some of
these N. S. F. writers are pursuing credit most of the time, and
that is discreditable.
Much frosh might wisely make himself personally responsible
for his presence at the library steps today at 3:30 o’clock.
How about writing that Homecoming slogan? The contest
is still open.

Say, “Hello.”

CHURCH NIGHT IS FRIDAY
Bible Class to be Started
For Men and Women
The University Y. M. C. A. has
been one of the busiest places on the
campus since September 1 when the
work of filing rooms and jobs began.
Since then over 100 rooms which
were to be placed on the renting
lists have been personally visited by
Mrs. C. E. Donnelly, who has charge
of the employment and housing de
partment of the Y. Many applica
tions for positions were also received
and filed, and as many as possible
w-ere given Jobs.
Daria LeacVs Social Work
This employment and housing
ervice will continue throughout the
year and will be of assistance to stu
dents, especially the freshmen.
Another side of the Y which will
be of interest is the social and edu
cational work which is carried on by
the Y. M. C.. A. cabinet under the
eadership of Rev. H. W. Davis, head
of the United Christian Work, and
secretary of the Y. The Eugene
churches will cooperate in this work
as they have done in the past
The first event on the Y. M. C. A.
social calendar was the freshman get
together party given at the hut last
Tuesday by the young people’s so
cieties of the Eugene churches. This
party was well attended, over 300
taking part. The next social event
will be the annual fhurch night
given, by the many Eugene churches
at their respective buildings. Church
night will be held next Friday, Oc
tober 3,. and a large turnout is ex
pected.
Lectures Will be Given
Another feature which proved very
popular last year was the series of
lectures given by well-known speakers
at various times during the year. The
Y. M. C. A. cabinet, which met eev
eral times last week with Rev. Davis,
has decided to continue this work
DANCE NOTICE
Due to popular request the open
ing dance at the College Side Inn
will be a grill dance instead of
a regular dance as advertised.
—Adv.
^ this year. Plane for these lectures
will be more fully worked' out when

returns from New York where he ha3
attended the National Student Coun
cil as representative from the north
west.
A Bible class for men and women
who have no special church prefer
ence will be started by Rev. Ttavis at
the hut as soon as the University
classes in the downtown churches
have begun. This class will be non
sectarian and will be open to all.
