Cushman Entered as second class matter at the post office at Eugene, Oregon, under act of Congress of March 3, 1879. He Is Worth Notice ' 'J'lIERE is a young man in this University who is going to be shoved out upon the stage of this editorial theatre and the pitiless spotlight of candid opinion is going to be tiirned full upon his retiring figure. He has, so far, practically escaped any such rough treatment but the time has come when his actions must command attention. Some persons have the peculiar faculty of constantly appear ing in the news columns of the daily papers. They don’t seem to do anything particularly startling or extraordinary, like committing a novel murder, or claiming to have unearthed some new corruption in the administration of government, or even of doing something really worth-while like donating an “objet des art” to a grateful community. They are just com mon, ordinary persons, yet having what may be called a “pen chant” for publicity. Oppositely, this quiet, unobsequious, individual does not have this “penchant.” Somehow or other, he has remained more or less obscure and in (lie background of University news and attention. Von nmy set1 him in the Armory at the Varsity basketball games, lie sits on the end of the bench near the stage, with his hack slightly turned to the row of blue-sweatered players who tense-up and scuffle their feet in excitement when a “yel low-jacket comes out of a zig-zag and zooms down the floor with tlu> ball. He sits there, a hit hunched over, appearing not particularly interested in the ebb and flow of luck and chance out there on the slippery boards. Hut nothing really escapes his attention. He knows just what is happening, and why it is happening, every second. lie is sensitive to the slightest waver of decision, the least flicker of energy, the tiniest swerve in that swift stream of take—and take. lie doesn’t hitch about, nor jerk his cap, and he doesn’t chew vigorously on an imaginary piece of the Virginia leaf. Nor does his rather serious countenance screw up into a pain ful grimace when the opposition is under the Oregon basket, lie just sits there, appearing calm, and peaceful, and—retiring. But he is the man who has built the Grogan Varsity into that combination of speed and fight which raced through the Montana conflict Thursday night to victory before a breathless and wildly enthusiastic student body. lie won that game, too, with one regular forward unable to play and three other first stringers whose arms were wrapped with that significant band age, which recently caused the Oregon squad to be dubbed by an ingenous sport writer the “Vaccinated Varsity.” After the thrilling finish, when the roaring crowd has cheer ed the panting team off the floor, and the exits became jammed with hoarse and jubilant students, a quiet, serious-eountenanced young man arose from the end of the bench near the stage, drifted across the floor, and Hilly Reinhart melted—into tin crowd, Statistics have been gathered at McGill University to deter mine what causes the most distractions in the library during study hours. One item shows —“Three, howling of campus ca nines.” What, pray, are they? It is tiresome to nag, and is, perhaps, even more tiresome to be nagged at. Nevertheless, you are reminded that today is Saturday, the last day this term to pay your fees “free of charge.” Splash! Splash! And the two l'rosh girls had their thrill, won a wager, and climbed chattering out of the mill-race. The enthusiasm of youth is wondrous, indeed. 1 hat senior skating party last evening was quite a “bumpy” affair, as one might say. That Washington game is tonight. Going? Embryo Biologists Search Fbr Amphibian Lairs Sleep Sacrificed in Order to Watch Frog Egg Division The eroaks of frogs are not often sweet music to students. But early this morning some fifty students from the biology department hark ened unto the cries of these am phibians and journeyed forth to surprise them in their haunts. Early, being a matter of personal interpretation, it should be noted that early in this story means 5:30 before noon, on Saturday morning, followed the Friday night’s de predations in frivolity. The object of this untold sacri fice of sleep is to note the cleavage of the frog’s eggs. Cleavage occurs early in the morning despite the fact that the occurrence violates all the regulations concerning the re pose of a seeker of knowledge. The first cleavage of the frog’s egg will take place about five thirty. Sketches must be made of this biological feature which can only be seen through microscopes. Hence each student is armed with some sort of hand-lens that all may be revealed to him. The second cleavage takes place fifteen min utes later. Watches are in neces sary order. Five-thirty is not very light either, so all students who are in clined to watch the heavens around the mystic hour before dawn are not to become alarmed at silver bands across the sky. It will be only a biology student, lighting his way to the swamp about the cam pus. And his muttered impercation as he slips into a mud hole strangely resembles that of the croak of his distant relative—the frog. IOWA UNIVERSITY ADDS NEWSPAPER LIBRARY University of Iowa.—A newspa pe? library is being completed at the University of Iowa school of journalism which will contain an | addition of every daily paper pub lished in the United States.
