A New Term
'T'HE START of a new term. 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. A. is

of the west and will return later to

The purpose of Mr. Millers’ tour

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.

ish Student Association of the Y.
M. 0. A., before being transferred
to America, and made extensive
lecture trips through Scotland and
England.

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.

'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. Pic
tures of Bart Spellman, Bob Mautz,
j Bill Reinhart, and football (-snap
shots are in the sport section, with
a summary of football season and
the basketball schedule for this
I vear.

GIFT OF LAND MADE
A gift of an 88-acre tract of land
valued at $100,000 was paade to the
University of Oregon school of
medicine by the late C. 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. Dillehunt,
and will do much to encourage
ealth advancement and medical
esearch in the state.”

Piercing the Great Divide

The General Electric
Company includes many
specialists—engineers
who know about tunnels;
engineers who know
about street lighting;
engineers who know
about the electrification
of factories. 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.
