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.

R.O.T.C. 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

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.

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.”

Burlington, Vermont, where she se

hood of Mrs. Calvin Coolidge
which she sold to the Boston Post.

CHARGED IN EUROPE
Students planning a trip abroad
for next summer, in imitation of
the delegation that went last year,
will be interested in a paragraph
from a letter just received by Dean
Allen from Dr. E. 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.
