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.
