Frank Loggan Day Editor ThiB Issue Mary Clerin Night Editor This Issue Cliff Wilson January 1 3 and Resolutions 'T'ODAY is January 13. The figure 13 has long been thought by those with a superstitious turn of mind as having mys terious properties. Some claim it brings good luck, others will take the opposite stand, and assert as heartily, that it brings bad luck. Whether either, or neither, is the case, the fact re mains that this is January 13, the thirteenth day of the New Year. ‘ Probably many resolutions were made by many students that night not quite two weeks ago when whistles blew, siren shrieked, pandemonium reigned and 1924 became 1925. Prob ably many of those students among other vows made this resolution—“That next term he would be a student, in fact and act, and not merely in name.” It was a sincere resolution, really meant and believed. There was a trait in the character of Shelley, the poet, which is quite characteristic of human nature in general, in his case perhaps a little exaggerated, but nevertheless likely to show why so many of those earnest resolves to work this term are already dissolved. Percy Bysshe Shelley was a sincere man. In fact, it seems that most of the many tragedies which mark his life are the result of his being so sincere that he had no diplomatic per spective. He was always moving about. First he would go to Scot land. Then he would go to London. Then to the country-side. Then to the Continent. Back to England. Back to the Con tinent. And so on. Each time he settled in one of these spots, whether it be in sunny Italy beneath the spotless skies, or in foggy, dreary, winter London, he would sink down and exclaim over the perfections of the location, saying he would remain there “for ever.” But within a short time he would be settling somewhere else, exclaiming over the perfections of the location, and as earnestly asserting that he would remain there “for ever.” And he really was sincere about it and believed he Would remain there “for ever,” There probably Is no harm in making such statements, nor in having such beliefs. Yet there is just the slightest possi bility that each time Shelley found himself re-settling and re asserting “for ever” that doubt of his consistency became a little stronger. It is possible, even, that he eventually did not really believe “for ever” when he said it. Just so, it is probable that many of those sincere “resolves” “to study” have had the same fate as Shelley’s “for ever.” Thirteen days have passed. January 13 can be the “Day of Good Luck,” or the “Day of Bad Luck.” For, when the student surveys the Scandal Sheet at the end of this term he will gladly say, “Good thing I put that resolution into effect when 1 was reminded—lucky day, the Thirteenth,” or he will say, sadly, “I wish I had put that resolution into effect when I was reminded. Unlucky day, the Thirteenth.” The Proof of the Pudding LITTLE group of artists and craftsman, who, in the midst of the pursuits of university life, botli scholastic and social, are working with purpose and pride in their efforts, is to be found on the campus of the University of Oregon. Jury Day, which comes this year on January 21, is an event in which the students of architecture and allied arts cooperate as they do in their artistic pursuits, and the entire University may take the opportunity to see the exhibition of paintings which will be shown in the gallery at that time, as well as hear the experts in the arts and crafts who come to judge the student The idea that great art is collaborative in its essence has been the mainspring in the plan of instruction. The coopera tive plan was definitely made possible after the fire which de stroyed the old arts building in the summer of 1922. Now even the several buildings are tied together by a cloister like ambu latory around an inner courtyard. 'The students themselves have carried out cooperative undertakings under the guidance of their instructors for the embellishment of the buildings. Stained glass, architectural ornament, sculpture and tile have been made in this way. Oil January 21 two long, slim, many-colored banners will be hung in the court to greet the school's distinguished guests. Jury Day is a time of festivity, but it is also a time of reckon ing. All tin* student work, based on their guiding principle, will be displayed. It will be there for all the world to see, un like an examination or the distribution of grades. At that time the endeavor for the past term will be known It will be, indeed, the proof of the pudding. The sophomores appeared yesterday in their blue jeans. Sponsors for the custom advanced the argument that they should June some style of dress which would distinguish them from the rest of the classes. They have succeeded. * * * * • Tonight an alumna of the University appears on the stage in Eugene.

BAND ELECTS NEW OFFICERS TODAY Organization Plans Drive For New Members Election of officers for the R. O. T. C. band will be held at practice at 4:30 p. m. today. A president and an executive committee con sisting of three members will be chosen. There are about thirty-five mem bers of the organization at the pres ent time. It is planned to start a drive for new members because of the fact that there are many new students enrolled in school this .term. Ereshmen and sophomores who are not taking band work and can play a musical instrument are invited to attend the meeting this afternoon. The band is directed by Andrew Landlcs. He has had a large amount of experience both as a player and director. During the war, Landles had charge of several army bands. At present he is also director of the Eugene high school band. Credit for one-hour’s work is giv en by the University for those stu dents who are membdrS. Later in the term, it is planned to give a joint concert with the men’s and women’s clubs. The proceeds will be divided equally among the organizations. Hilton Rose, as chairman of the feature committee of the band is planning some unique numbers for the con cert. The band will take a tour of the state during the spring term if ar rangements now being planned are carried out. This trip already has the sanction of Colonel W. S. Sin clair and the music department. GRADUATEISONSTAFF OF MANCHESTER DAILY Marion D.

The bell rings, interrupting my reading of a book on ‘Old French Furniture.’ I take down the receiver, and some one asks how the prize fight turned out, who was secretary of state in Roose velt’s administration,—or—what is a five-letter word meaning ‘‘egg.” Any of these questions must be answered calmly, of course, but it is sometimes difficult.” Miss Lay recently made a trip to Burlington, Vermont, where she se cured a feature story on the girl hood of Mrs. Calvin Coolidge which she sold to the Boston Post.

S. Bates of the philosophy department. Dr. and Mrs. Bates were in Milan at the time of writing. “The most serious immediate problem before Italy is the appal ling rise in prices,” he says. “You chose the year well for your trip. Hotel prices in France are now al most double what they were even last spring, and in Italy they are mueh higher still. One must pay practically American prices for everything — hotels, food, shoes, hats, elothes—everything with one important exception. The native can still get Macedonia Sigaretti three packages for a lira, so other things don’t matter so much after all.” Professor Bates tells of seeing Jay Allen and Ruth Austin Allen in Paris, whero these former Ore gon students are studying.
