A Highway to Learning
MEMBERS of the University have heard over and over, and
have read over and over, from professors, scholars, stu
dents, editors and others, words to the effect that if one wishes
to enter into the ranks of the “educated” he must do one thing
above all others.
This thing, they chorus, is not simply to answer with faith
ful voice the daily roll call, and is not simply to sit up into the
late evening preparing assigned lessons. This thing, they
chant, is a likeable creature, a bit “offish” at first, perhaps,
with maybe a drop of the Scotch in him, but is all the more
sterling when his friendship is finally won.
He is Voluntary Reading, they tell one. And there they
stop.
“Ah, yes!” says the student, interested in this thing. “I
think I will do that.”
And he goes to the library and looks at the catalogue help
lessly, and his enthusiasm wanes a little. He’ll come back and
try it some other time. But he seldom does come back.
All these well-meaning advisers should have gone one step
further in explaining where one finds this road—where begin.
They might have done this, but they don’t. There are two
paths leading into this highway to the City of Learning.
The first is to consult someone who is already traveling the
route, and have him point out a few of the landmarks for which
one may strike in the great forest of books in the world today.
After thesp first steps are reached and passed, the way will be
come smoother and smoother, the hills less steep and less steep,
the growth more tangible and more tangible, until the guide
will no longer be a necessity.
The second should prove more popular. It is to become a
regular visitor to the Sheldon shelf in the University Library.
This selected group of books was the suggestion of H. D.
Sheldon, dean of the school of education, who personally
chooses the works to be set asjde.
Sight of any one of the 70 titles in the collection is all
that should be necessary to kindle in the person who is inter
ested enough to glance over the shelf a desire to know more of
Literature. He will find it difficult to abstain from picking a
book, taking it to the desk, and: signing it out.
And as he passes out the door and down the steps, he may
or may not know it, but he is on the Road.
Dr. Glenn Hoover, who addressed the assembly yesterday,
made the statement that the Emerald had “stolen his thunder”
in the advance stories it printed on his topic, “European Stu
dent Life.” Whether or not this assertion was meant to reflect
credit upon the staff of the daily which engineered such a phe
nomenal “beat” is uncertain. There is no doubt, however,
from the approval which was expressed in the loud and pro
longed applause following his delivery that Dr. Hoover had a
lot more thunder and his hearers liked it.
CHARLOTTE BANFIELD
WILL ENTERTAIN CLUB
Miss Charlotte Banfield, instruc
tor in the dramatic department of
the TTniversity, will entertain mem
bers of the Monday Book club with j

Minnesota. — Undergraduate 'en
thusiasm w:aa whipped to fighting
pitch at the gigantic “pep-fest”
which was held to officially open
the football season. An immense
bonfire, speeches by Minnesota
gridiron heroes past and present,
yells, songs, and the selection of a
rooter king to leaid Minnesota fans
in their first season in the new
Memorial Stadium, were the fea
tures of the evening. . . . Men’s
Panhellenic is enforcing the rules
concerning no fraternal rushing
during the fall quarter. This rule
for no rushing the first term is a
new one for Minnesota and is work
ing most successfully. Fraternit
ies will not rush or pledge a new
student until the second quarter,
in order to raise the standards of
scholarship. . . .
Western Reserve.—The historic
flag rush went into oblivion this
year, replaced by the pushball con
test. The latter had its inaugura
tion last Friday on the football
field.
Opinion as to the value of the
pushball contest varies from the
most outward praise to downright
condemnation. This will furnish
the first scrimmage of each year
between the freshman and sopho
more classes. Sophomores of this
year, however, thought the fight
just as strenuous as the former
flag rushes.

Anderson, S. C.—Only 200 of the
500 or more cadets of Clemson col
lege, who walked out as a protest
against the suspension of R. F.
(Dutch) Holohan, president of the
senior class, and. certain conditions
in the college mess hall, were mis
sing from the barracks this morning
according to information received
here from the school.
Many of the striking cadets re
turned yesterday and college office
ials said they expected most, if not
all, to be back in a day or two.
Class work was resumed as usual
today, with about 750 students at
tending chapel out of an enrollment
of approximately 1,000.
The situation at the school was
described as quiet, with students
and officials marking time pending
consideration of the affair at a
meeting of the Board of Trustees
Monday night.

Oregon Agricultural College.—
The O. A. C. school of music is
sponsoring little orchestras of four
or more talented students, to play
for various college functions this
year. These students will be en
abled to help work their way

through college as well as receive
valuable musical training. Two
dollars an hour will be payed each
student for playing.
The repertoire 'of the orchestras
will consist of selections from the
light operas and classics. No “jazz”
music will be allowed on the pro
gram. Marguerite MacManus, in
structor in the school of music, will
coach the orchestras.
Students in the orchestra played
for the College Folk club banquet
last week and will play for the
Parent Teacher’s association ban
quet this week.
Louisiana State University.—The
distinction of being the only large
orchestra in Baton Bouge is held
by the Louisiana State University
orchestra, which held its first meet
ing Tuesday night, September 30,
with an attendance of 25 members.
The orchestra is expected to be at
least twice this size by Christmas.

Stanford University.—A system
of sponsors has been organized in
Roble hall, the dormitory in which
all freshmen women must live.
Twelve official sponsors, six soror
ity members and six residents will
live in Boble to assist the incom
ing women. Such a system has been
found successful in Encina hall,
freshmen wemn’s dormitory.
Northwestern.— ’Tis said that a
college graduate has turned gypsy
to prove his generosity theory.
“Somewhere in Missouri” a col
lege graduate, apparently of sane
mind and body, is walking coatless
and hatless. The unusual fact about
the journey is that he has been
walking since November, 1921,
when he left San Francisco. This
modern gypsy never accepts an of
fer of a ride; he asks for nothing
but a match and a glass of water.
The strange wanderer is Leonard
Day, writer and lecturer. In 1921,
a publishing firm failed to accept
a book which he wrote on the gen
erosity' of the American people, be
cause they believed that such gener
osity did not exist. Now, Mr. Day
is saying that it does.

The plant acquired its name be
cause of its peculiar habits. At
night the leaflets all fold together
and the common foodstalks bend
towards the stem. At sunrise the
leaves gradually unfold and recover
their usual state. The same thing
takes place if they are roughly
touched, except that they recover
in a short period.
In greenhouses the plant is easy
to grow from seeds. It lives for
many years and grows into a small

ANNE DEAR:—
Going to the Chi Psi dance to
morrow! M—m—m— That last
is because I found at the Style
Shop just the Frenchy touch my
! chiffon dress needed. It's a
lovely orchid eolor ostrich orna
ment, with pastel flowers. They
had them in other colors, too, but
orchid went best with my dress.
While I was there I got an ador
able batik handkerchief to go
with my dinned dress. These are
most unusual, because each hand
kerchief is individual in design
and they come in many colors.
* • *
My dear, I wish that you could
see my hair. As I have my date
with one of Bob’s fraternity
brothers tomorrow night, I got a
marcel at Hastings Sisters —
and they do give such marvel
ous' ones.
From Tollman’s Studio, I got
| the proofs of the pictures I had
| taken last week. I
| am charmed with all
I of them—Peg helped
! me choose thre*f views
I which I am going to
[ have finished in the new hazy,
I flattering way.
{ Anne, I still have the same old
I failing about buying things, re
I gardless of whether I need them,
j But even you could not hesitate
| to buy some of the adorable col
| ored linen towels, hand hem
| stitched and embroidered, at
| Phares’ Baby Shop. They make
| ideal gifts.
You’ll think that Peg and I
have turned florists, when I tell
you that we purchased some hya
cinth and narcissus bulbs, but oh
—it’s great sport growing them
in water in one’s room. As the
University Florist received a
shipment direct from [Holland,
we bought our bulbs from them.
Besides, we got a darling bowl
there that harmonizes with the
furnishings of our room.
Cider and doughnuts—doesn’t
that sound appetizingf Peg and
I went out in search of eats for
our spread tonight, and we got
.the most luseious doughnuts,
and the clearest, sweetest cider
; at the Underwood and Elliott
Grocery. They were so tempt
ing, we simply had to indulge in
some as soon as they were de
livered.
I’m sending Sue a pretty little
compact I bought at Skeis. It
has an enamel
ed top in gay
colors and is
small enough to
carry conven
iently in the
hand, or tuck
away in a pocket without bulg
ing.

At Matlock’s, I bought the
newest thing in hosiery—flesh
colored '‘under hose.” These
snappy fall mornings make one
feel the need of something more
comfy than chiffon hose; so I
got a pair of, Allen-A sheer
woolen ‘‘under hose” which are
invisible beneath chiffon, and
yet give the desired warmth.
Send me a letter, Anne, if only
; a wee one.
