A fresli chance to display what one can do—and what one cannot do. That is—for those who survived the sweeping arc of the scythe and could finish a perusal of the “scandal sheet’’ with a smile illuminating the countenance. Many resolutions to study this term—hard—really. And many who believe they will carry out those resolutions.— really. Perhaps they will. The winter term is a good one to work in. There are fewer diversions. The mill race does not call as it will in the spring. The rush and crush of the innum erable activities which fill the fall will not be so numbing. # # * * * There are lots of interesting and intriguing books in the library to pass a rainy evening with. Books that are not assigned for class work but which will furnish valuable and desirable material to inject into “blue books” at the end of the term. Books which will give a feeling that some of the empty corners of the “garret” are a little better furnished than before. And the added confidence that comes of that fact. # * # * • Some of the faces familiar last term are gone. Some of the fpes familiar a year or two years ago are seen once more. Hearty handshakes and hasty searching of the memory to “place” a one-time acquaintance, while gaining time in asking, “Are you back?” and, “What have you been doing with your self?” 6r “Have a good vacation?” and “Have a Happy.New Year?” * * # * * Yhose interested in the facial reaction of an individual who has had a frustrated purpose could have gathered ample ma • terial Monday by watching the students who had waited in the wrong registration line for an hour and had just become conscious of the fact as he reached the window. ***** The early morning classes of the first day were not of ,full attendance. It is necessary to recuperate from the vacation, you know. ***** One day gone. ___ SECRETARY OF Y.M.C.A. VISITS LOCAL OFFICERS national sec rotaries of the student association of the Y. M. 0.

Mr. Miller, who was the Rhodes scholar from the Washington and Lee university during the period of 1919-28, was actively engaged in Y. M. C. A. work while in England. He was the secretary of the Brit ish Student Association of the Y. M. 0. A., before being transferred to America, and made extensive lecture trips through Scotland and England.

MARGARET SCOTT, ’23, VISITS ON CAMPUS Margaret Scott, graduate of the I school of journalism, ’2d, who has ! 1 been a reporter on the Humbolt . Standard. Eureka, California, for lithe last year, has been visiting the campus for several days. Miss I Scott will begin work next week ' I for the Oregon Voter, assisting Mr. (C. 0. Chapman, the editor, in cover , ing the sessions of the state legis ’Matures. Miss Scott held this posi * tion at the 192.'! session. ! Miss Scott then expects to go to j Chicago, where she may remain. ^ j While on the campus, she was ' j elected to Phi Beta Kappa, national j honorary scholastic society and * .Theta Sigma Phi, woman’s nation ' ; al honorary journalism fraternity. ' I She also was a member of the Ore ’ gana staff for four years, and was 1 one of the day editors of the Enter ' aid at one time. , Uueeda Pressing Club $1.00 per Month Phone 1827 684 Olive 8 "V agarifcs We are told the editor has esti- j mated that every Wednesday the | genius of the Emerald staff •will1 be about sufficient to fill the pa-. per up with ads, news, pledging an nouncements, and such novelties, except for about the amount of space in Vagaries when it is apt to run dry so we have agreed to fill up this column with a further assortment of various English words set to type and arranged in I sentences. * * * Our main purpose in wilting this is to see if you will read it. If you don’t, you must either be a highbrow or a lowbrow; if a highbrow, you don’t belong in a university. Moral: If you don’t read this stuff you should be kicked out of school. We hope you-ve all enjoyed a j restful vacation and are now back j fresh and ready to get down to j work and commence the new year 5 A. V. with a diligent reading of Vagaries and your other studies. * • * The dinosaur, the ichsthyosaurus, and the ojywutiz.uticus never read Vagaries. They all died off of non intelligence, as was proper and fit ting. Man, in part at least even if it is an elite minoriity, reads Vagar ies. His superior intelligence en titles him to the rank of lord of creation. It is only the thoroughly lazy man who most appreciates the val ue of his time which he finds worth as much to him as to be too valu able to waste in doing anything whatsoever. , * • • There is one thing worse than being misunderstood; it is being understood at the wrong time. * * * According to meteorologists, the almanacs, and prophecies in Holy Scripture, the chances are very good that Oregon will have the op portunity to enjoy several rainy days this year. . Style note: “The latest fad with the younger set is bare legs.” Well, well, that would be nice of course, but then there isn’t so very much difference, and if the stylo doesn’t “take” here we won’t grieve too much, as long as our co-eds who . roll their own sit with them crossed.

PATRONIZE EMERALD ADVERTISERS PATRONIZE EMERALD ADVERTISERS FIRST TIME TODAY The Wonder Dog— RIN TIN TIN In the Wonder Drama “Where The North Begins” 20c CASTLE “Home of the Best” 'OLD OREGON’ CONTAINS VARIETY OF SUBJECTS Two Graduates Contribute To December Issue The December issue of “Old Ore gon,” filled with live news of cam pus doings, alumni travel experi ences, and Oregon sports, was dis tributed during the Christmas vaca tion. Appropriate to the season and its events is the story by L. H. Greg ory, sports editor of the Morning Oregonian, about the Christmas game played in Portland for the benefit of “Tiny” Shields former Oregon football star, who was se verely injured in a varsity game. The story deals with “Tiny’s” life as he is forced to spend it now in comparison to its former activity. Gregory gives a list of the players in the game. “One Way To Do It” is the title of an article telling of the way Janet Young, ’14, found to raise money for the gift campaign. She is with the Moroni Olsen Players and the company will present a play ’’You and I” in Eugene this month to raise money for the campaign. An article of interest is “Christ mas Eve in Bethlehem” by Dorothy Collier, ’18, who spent last winter in the Holy Land. The story is illustrated by several snapshots taken in and around Bethlehem. Another travel story tells of the experiences of Ralph Spearow and his companions in their recent trip to Japan. It also is illustrated by snapshots. Vernon T. Motschenbacher, presi dent of the Portland alumni, has written a story about the grganiza tion of alumni into committees for action. Among stories of campus activit ies and campus people is another of the series of sketches of the vari ous deans. William G. Hale, dean of the law school is the subject for the latest sketch. There also ap jpear stories of the Oregon-Oxford i debate, the high school convention, | the installation of Alpha Gamma i Dolta and the regular department of campus news. Editorials, news of the classes, the poetry section, edited by Margaret Skavlin, and the sport section, edited by Web Jones complete the magazine.

S. Jackson, Mrs. Jackson and Phillip L. Jack son of Portland. The tract adjoins the present campus of the medical school on Marquam Hill, Portland^ IJnder the terms of the .gift, the land is to be used for medical school pur poses, and is dedicated to the sick and crippled, to the recreation of the public and the play of children. The tract of 88 acres given by the Jacksons, added to the 20 acres presented to the medical school in 1914 by the Oregon-Washington Railroad and Navigation company, gives the institution a campus of 108 acres within a mile and a half of the Multnomah county court house. “The gift assures—and it was much needed—adequate room for expansion of the medical school,” aid Dean Biehard B.

These men are helping to build the better and happier America in which you will live. If you are interested in learning more about what electricity is doing, write for Reprint No. AR391 containing a com plete set of these adver tisements. West of Denver is the Continental Divide; hemmed in behind it is an undeveloped district twice as large as Maryland. That fertile area the new Moffat Tunnel will open up. General Electric mine locomotives are carrying out the rock, and C-E motors are driving air compres sors and pumping water from underground rivers. The conquests of electricity on land and sea, in the air and underground, are making practical the impossibilities of yesterday. It remains only for men of ability to find new things to do tomorrow. Thus does Opportunity of 1925 beckon college men and women toward greater things as yet undreamed, and to a better world to live in. 95-947GC GENERAL ELECTRIC j|GBNlRAl ELECTRIC COMPANY.
