Night Editor This Issue Jack O’Meara Assistant .Claude Eeavis Entered aa second dass matter at the post office at Eugene, Uregon, unaer aci of Congress of March 3, 1879. Nature—of the “Homo Sapiens” TRAIN puffed laboriously past the campus. On a side street a Ford was spluttering and rattling as its owner raced the motor in an enthusiastic effort to warm the engine rapidly. In the distance sounded the familiar gong-gong of the Fairmount trolley, and the deep rumble as it lumbered past the Library. Overhead an airplane skimmed, circling, the char acteristic high-pressure throb of its whirring power-plant float ing lazily earthward. ““in the midst of this conglomeration of sounds and noises stood a professor in his classroom. Pausing in his lecture until the long freight had shrieked a warning to autoists at the High way crossing, he smiled, albeit a trifle sadly, “If some sort of mechanical earth-borer were only grinding out a burrow be neath this building nothing more would be needed to completely surround us with excellent examples of the ingenuity of man and the wonders of mechanical inventions. ’ Perhaps more than one of the professor’s students felt a glow of warm pride pervade his being as he contemplated that he, too, was a modern, and a racial and contemporary relative to the minds which had devised these wonderful contrivances for conquering time and space. Perhaps more than one of the professor’s students meditated further and thrilled with an in toxicating ecstasy at the thought of man’s progress and triumph over the sheer power of Nature. Such adulation of mankind increases the self-concept and man straightens out the kinks in his backbone, throws back his shoulders, takes a deep breath, and exhales luxuriously, “I am not such a worm after all. See how I have fettered Nature and bent her energies and re sources to my desires."’ The seas, the land, ihe air, the earth have been bent to men’s desires, true, but only bent, not broken. Like a spirited horse, Nature serves, but only so long as she, in turn, is served by ac quiesenee to her own laws and privileges. Mount her from the off side, or brush unduly close to sensitive heels, and there are violent reactions, an arched back, flying heels, and a broken “homo sapiens.” Three or the featured stones m last week s issue or a l’ort land paper are significant in showing horseflesh has no monop oly on balking. A doctor, alone, was fighting a diptlieria epi demic in frozen Nome, cut off from the rest of civilization by several days dangerous travel over snow-mantled bills and frozen rivers. The Northern Lights might well flare and dance with triumphant glee, leaping high now and again with silent chuckles, as Death hovering over the stricken, claimed this one and that with clammy fingers. In the mantle of a dense fog, two small lifeboats laden with an exhausted and suffering crew pitched and wallowed on a raging sea. Somewhere, hidden in the thick grey blanket be hind them, with davit falls dangling in mute testimony of de sertion, staggered the Caoba in drunken lurches, waterlogged. Down below the light of the sun, in the damp earth, a man lay helpless, with foot pinned to the floor of a winding tunnel just high enough to wriggle through with belly in the dust. Fellow creatures, anxious to extricate poor Collins, were claw ing helplessly at the fallen boulder imprisoning the under ground explorer. Many days have passed and the Kentuckian still lies gripped in the inexorable jaws of that frightful trap. It is so, when man, boasting, proclaims his superiority and, gloating, cracks the whip on spirited withers, that dark eyes roll, displaying flaming white rings; that ears flatten menac ingly; that a sharp hoof strikes down and crushes—the worm. ^ — ■ — _■. - ■ • ■ Campus Bulletin Notices win be printed in this column for two issues only.

MANY SIGNED UP FOR LIFE SAVING CLASSES Life saving is proving popular j among the men of the University j and the allotted number of students , who may receive instruction in this line is rapidly being filled up.

A vote was also taken concerning the inauguration of afternoon classes on the schedule this present semester. By a vote of 600 to 154 they indicated their desire to re turn to the old schedule. Their objection was that men working their way through college have found late classes a hardship and that the football coaches last year complained that Brown would soon be without an adequately trained team unless the members of the squad found it possible to re port before 5 o’clock.

Mr. Fisher has two men employed mowing the grounds now. This is the earliest spring mowing that has been done for a long time, he says.
