Day Editor This Issue Jalmer Johnson Assistant .Web Jones Night Editor This Issue Alfred Boiee Assistant .Lynn Wykoff Entered aa second class matter at the post office at Eugene, Oregon, under act •f Congress of March 3, 1879. An Essential Safety Valve T^OTICE of a motion to be voted on within the month, to pro hibit any form of athletic contest after 6 p. m. except on Fridays, Saturdays and holidays was read at faculty meeting this week. The motion, if passed, would be a death blow to participation by the University of Oregon in conference bas ketball, swimming and wrestling meets, and other athletic com petition. It would be impossible to arrange a satisfactory sched ule with week-end and holiday evenings, only, availiable. No reason is advanced in support of this proposal, but it may be assumed the proposed ruling is prompted from belief that such contests on week nights interfere with students’ studies. With games starting promptly at 7:15 and generally fin ished by 8:30, it should be apparent to any, except those tem peramentally unfit to enjoy watching such activities, that the student receives no damage from the standpoint of lesson prep aration. Rather, he will return to his work with revived in terest and more enthusiastic application for having passed a pleasant hour of relaxed mental effort. Adoption of the motion will mean abolition of practically all forms of competitive athletics during the winter term. There are few better outlets for relieving the pressure of superfluous energy than in the primitive appeal of organized physical con flict. The government requires that a safety valve be installed on every steam boiler. This is done to prevent accumulation of excessive pressure. Basketball, particularly, serves as an ex cellent safety valve for the student body during the “heavy” term. “Library Browsings” 'Jf'HE PLEASURES obtained from acquiring the voluntary reading habit have been stressed a number of times this • year by the Emerald. It has pointed out that one of the great est blessings a student can receive from his four years upon the campus is discovery of the hidden treasures buried beneath the battered covers of ancient volumes. Glittering gold may be found, also, in later works, perhaps with leaves as yet uncut and still exhaling a delightful odor of fresh paper and printer’s ink. The one who learns to seek these riches while in college will have his blood fired with an insatiable burning for more and new adventures upon this sea of literature, lie will become a rover, and aloft in the swinging crow’s nest , will scan the shimmering sea with eager eyes, ever ready to raise from joyous lips the ringing shout of “Land Ahoy!” Commencing with this morning’s Emerald, and on each Sat urday hereafter, “Library Browsings” will be printed. This weekly feature may serve to point the way for those to whom the sea is yet unknown. It should engender courage and assist in overcoming a natural shrinking from essaying its well-nigh boundless expanse without chart or compass. To those who have already felt the fruitful breezes and come to revel in story controversy or to relax in the calms of peace-giving philosophy, it may intrigue, perhaps, to uncrossed seas and untouched islands. Several thousand handbills will be distributed at the next basketball game at Ohio State University. Four rules of sports manship which will printed upon them might be read with profit by Oregon’s own rooting section. The suggestions con cern courtesy, fairness, hissing, and the right of the coach to do the coaching. Examinations at the University of Indiana have been post-! poned two weeks and classes will be dismissed for an indefinite time, due to a shortage of water in Bloomington. No fear of such a catastrophe happening in Eugene these days. Campus Bulletin Notices will be printed in this column for two issueB only. Copy must be in this office by 5 :30 Sn the day before it is to be published, and must be limited to 20 words. . Student Volunteer Meeting—Sun day, 4:30, at the “Y” hut.

If it is desired, the writer's name will be kept out of print. It must be understood that the editor reserves the right to reject communications. - IN DEFENCE A clever little editorial full of advice and suggestions, whereby some aristocratic order or other might be of some permanent good to its alma mater, was the thing I had in mind. But all that is spoiled now—-thanks to the scath ing note tacked on the bulletin board over my latest literary effort, so aptly titled: “Are We Goofy?” This note addresses us as a “neat soul” and the instigator of the in famy wishes to know who the auth or is, but this can never be because we have neither inclination nor training for an incounter with any one carrying a chip on his shoulder. Things are much better left as they are. The punishment and publicity are greater than I can bear. I am just as goofy as the rest of the goofs. The whole trouble lies in a divine ability to climb a tree and get a bird’s eye view of the situation. Hence, not being a “neat soul” it goes against my better nature to accept so much undeserved praise. “What do you wear?” is the question. Well, to begin at the beginning: On top of the head are a few scant wind-blown locks; ’ne'ath this drab crown appears a face well, protected from the weath er by cold cream, rouge and powder; the frame of this lowlev worm is sheathed in a scant, one piece, wool dress; and the feet are usually to be found somewhere in the dark depths of galoshes. There has been no mention of a slicker for the principle reason that we don’t pos sess one.—Goofy. SWIMMING CONTESTS BEGIN NEXT TUSDXY Women’s doughnut swimming meets are scheduled to begin at 5 p. m. Thursday, February 12. It is j imperative that each participant I hand in a heart O. K. before 1:15 | p. m. of that date. The customary j requirement of six practices has been waived, according to Miss Bar bara Page, swimming instructor. Although in some cases the teams are crippled due to vaccination for smallnox, the following houses have signified their intention of enter ing teams: Pi Beta Phi, Gamma Phi Beta. Sigma Beta Phi, Susan Camp bell hall. Alpha Chi Omega, Hen dricks hall and Alpha Phi. Tt is honed that other houses will enter teams in the meet, as an evidence of true sportsmanship in the face of such odds. Class meets will take place im mediatelv following the doughnut series. Practice for class swimming begins Monday, February f>, at four o’clock, and will continue through the doughnut meets. The reouire meats of four practices and a heart O K. will be strictly adhered to. All girls intending to come out for practice are requested to sign a chart which has been placed on the bulletin board in the middle ent rance to the Woman’s building. Fverv candidate is expected to record her practices bv notifying the life guard, who will have a chart for this purpose. Following is the schedule for practices: Mon dav. Tuesday. Fridav—four to five: Wednesdav and Thursday—three fortv-five to four fifteen. Those unable to avail themselves of these hours should turn in their sched j nles to Miss Page. Thev are fur ther requested to sign the bulletin board chart in the middle entrance of the building. 0-O l COMING EVENTS I Saturday, February 7 Basketball, O. A.

WEEK AT DISPENSARY * SETS HIGH RECORD The past week was a busy one for the University health service. During the early part of the week there was a general rush of stu dents to be vaccinated and several hundred were treated. On Monday there were 199 patients at the dis pensary and on Tuesday, 258, Most of these were there for vaccination. The 258 patients on Tuesday es tablished a new high record for any one day at any time during the his tory of the University dispensary, according to Dr. G. A. Boss. Yes terday, the vaccination rush being over, there were very few visitors. There are only a few patients in the infirmary at the present time. Last week there were many stu dents there as a result of. small pox vaccinations, but they have practically all recovered and the in firmary is almost .empty in anti cipation of housing those who were vaccinated this week. Students have been unusually co operative in the matter of vaccina tion, according to Doctor Ross and he does not anticipate any further trouble with smallpox on the cam pus.

Electric Com pany provides for agricul ture little motors that do the farm chores and great cnes that operate mam moth pumps to irrigate vast stretches of arid valleys. • If you are interested in learning more about what eiectricity is doing, write for Reprint No. AR391 containing a complete set of these advertisements. Irrigation by electrically driven pumps has made hundreds of thousands of acres of desert land in the Intermountain West blossom like the rose. For a few cents a month per acre, electricity—the giant worker brings the life-giving water from distant lakes and rivers to rainless valleys, producing rich harvests of fruits and vegetables, cereals and forage. What electricity is doing for the farmer is only a counter part of what it is doing for Industry, Transportation, City and Country life or any of the professions. It is a tool •ready for your use and which, wisely used, will make the impossible of today an accomplished fact tomorrow. How electricity does these things is important to the student in a technical school but what electricity can do is important to every college man or woman, no matter what their life’s work may be.
