A tea which is to feature the ten
countries studied by the discussion
groups fostered by the World Fel

a convention fund. Ellen McClel
lan, chairman of the World Fellow
ship committee, announced.
The student loan fund is open to
women in all University and col
lege campuses of the northwest
which contribute to the fund. It
was established on the University
of Washington campus. The con
vention fund is being established,
Miss McClellan explained, to help
send a girl from the campus to a
conference of all countries border
ing the Pacific ocean, which is to
be held in 1927, either in Australia
or in the Philippines. The confer-'
ence wTill be under the sponsorship
of the Y. W. C. A. and the repre

Marion Jenkins, who is chairman
of the committee in charge of the
tea has planned to have six tables
decorated to represent six of the
countries studied by the groups. It
was impossible to have ten tables,
Miss Jenkins explained, so the six
countries which are to be repre
sented are: Korea, Turkey, Italy,
Switzerland, India and Mexico.
Members of the discussion groups
represented will be costumed in the
dress of these countries and they
will serve the guests. Tli girls who

Members of the committee as
sisting Marion Jenkins are: Alma
Lawrence, music; Merle Oliver,
publicity; and Jeanette Dentler.1
The women’s league tea has been
given up for the World Fellowship
tea so that the latter will have
unconditional support.
Merchants’ Convention
Concluded; to Be Held
Here Again Next Year
(Continued from page one)
Rolf ns highly pleased with its pro
gress and the service it has been
able to render the merchants.
The plans and policies for a much
increased service for the future
were developed and were endorsed
by th delegates, who offered their
co-operation on the matter.
“Peddlers should pay for the
privilege of doing business in
towns built up by merchants.”
said 11. E. Relinell, of Seattle, in
his address, “The Peddler.”
Specific incidents were given of
manufacturers reaping large profits
by means of a peddler system of
distribution.
“It is extremely difficult to
reach the situation with legis
tion,” he said, speaking of legis
lation relative to curtailing the
operations of peddlers.
Credit Advice Given
“No retailer should allow a deb
tor more than thirty days credit,
without a settlement,” said John
Knight, president of the Oregon
Collectors’ association, when speak
ing on “Credits and Collections.”!
“Short settlements make long
friends,” he stated.
That most of the losses of re
tailers are from new-comers, was
his opinion. Collectors and mcr- j
chants should be more closely as
Bowated to make possible great of
ficiency in their business opera
tions.
Following the proposal and ac
ceptance of resolutions made, the
convention adjourned. Merchants
of Corvallis extended an offer for.
the convention in 11)27. About l?50j
delegates are estimated to have
attended the convention here this
year.

MAY ROBSON VISITS CAMPUS;
ENTERTAINED BY STUDENTS
Stage Star Has Thrilling Ride While Viewing Uocal Scenery;
Sees Mill Race, but Misses Cemetery
“Who said that May Bobson she
ain’t got no style?
She’s style all the while!
She’s style all the while!
Who said that May Robson she
ain’t got no style?
She’s style all the while!
All the while!”
Forty male voices raised the
rolicking rhythm to a deafening
din and then carried it to a smash
ing climax.
May Robson’s smart little hat
kept time to the melody, nodding
back and forth saucily.
“For she’s a .jolly good mother!
For she’s a jolly good mother!
For she’s a jolly good mother!
For she’s a Sigma Chi!”
May Robson clapped her hands
gaily, and the diamonds on her
fingers sparkled with the laughter
in her eyes.
“Bravo! That’s a fine song. I
like that one. “Miss Robson said,
spearing an asparagus on her salad
plate. “You know that ride this
afternoon gave me an awful appe
tite. If I come puffing onto the
stage tonight you’ll know it’s be
cause you fed me too much.”
She attacked her pork and poto
toes with gusto.
“Where did you go this after
noon?” someone ventured to ask.
“Some of the boys here told me
they were going to take mo out
for a drive about the city and cam
pus so that. I’d be free for a while.
I certainly was free. They took me
out on a hill whore the road hung
along the side of it and suddenly
came out on top where there was
nothing but air and clouds and
scenery far below. T felt too free,
let me tell you. None of this rug
ged western scenery for me, unless
I’m safe and sound on solid
ground.”
“Oh yes, I saw your mill-race.
And the Anchorage and the campus
and-”
“And the cemetery?” a sophisti
cated sophomore queried
“No. Bid T miss something?
Well you don’t say! Never mind,
I’ll savo that for next time. When
T come bock next year you’ll have
to explain it all to me. T guess
your cemetery is as popular as the
one in Milan, Italy. They showed
it to us first of all, pointing out
with pride the life-sized marble
figures, exact reproductions of the
originals, of the spouse and family
of the deceased man or woman
draped around the tomb-stone,
dressed in funny hats and clothes
of about the mid-Victorian period.
T couldn’t keep from laughing, to
the horror and disgust of the
guides. I wonder if your burial
ground will prove ns interesting.”
Forty boys smiled behind forty
forksful of pie.
“Where did you play last?” some
one asked.
“California,” Miss Robson re
sponded. “We visited the movie
studios in Hollywood. Saw them
taking a picture of a lion chasing
a man. The lion was to chase the
man across a hall and through a
door, but the lion always beat the
man, passed him nbout halfway,
and tore through the door ahead
of him. They had to try it over
ten times, and each time the man
would sprint his hardest, but the
lion would push him to one side

and beat him to it.
“I saw Harold Lloyd, too. He’s
an old friend of mine. He likes
me pretty well. I started him in
the show business. He was assist
ant property man for a small com
pany and I told him I’d give him
a start on the stage in my com
pany. He was tickled to death, and
so I gave him 75 cents a day to
carry a trunk across the stage.”
Forty boys laughed heartily.
Then they lifted their voices in the
“May Robson song.”
“There is a mother here.
She comes but once a year
May Robson brings good cheer
I’m telling youl
And do you realize
She’s strong for Sigma Chi’s?
How’n the hell’d I find that out?
She told me so!”
After dinner around the fire
Miss Robson entertained the boys
with funny stories about Irishmen,
Englishmen, , Hebrewmen and
Swedes, told in the dialect as only
an actress can tell them.
Someone brought in a tiny gray
kitten and she begged to hold it in
her lap. She is very fond of ani
mals, and had two pet canaries that
she carries around with her in a
specially constructed box. When
she came up from California last
year when the law forbid the
transporting of animals across the
border, on account of the hoof and
mouth epidemic, she discarded the
box and brought the birds over in
her knitting bag.
“Only I had to stick my finger in
the bag for them to bite every once
in a while, to keep them from sing
ing,” she said, laughing.
Miss Robson’s other hobby is
sewing, which she does in all her
spare moments.
“Between scenes on the stage I
pick up niv embroidering or hem
ming, and when my cue comes I
always try to take just one more
stitch, and consequently have to en
ter all out of breath, trying to get
there on time.”
She loves her work and shows it
in the happy expression of her eyes
and the mouth that is always smil
ing or making others smile. She
was adopted by the University of
Washington chapter of Sigma Chi
and has never failed to visit and
eat dinner with her “sons” if she
is playing in a college town.
Before she left to give her even
ing’s performance of “Something
Tells Mo” at the Heilig, the chap
ter quartette gathered around the
piano and sang “The Sweetheart
of Sigma Chi,” and, as she said
goodbv to them all, she said:
“I wish I could kiss you all, but
if I started on one, T’m afraid
you’d all get scared and run, be
fore I could get very far.”
“Goodbv. Clap hard for me to
night.” '
And the “jolly good mother”
was gone, promising to come again
next year. And we all decided em
phatically and unanimously that
May Robson did “bring good
cheer.”

Varsity Saturday
Oregon’s crack swimming team
will oppose the Multnomah nata
tors Saturday evening at 7:30 in a
return meet in the tank of the Wo

met the Clubmen in Portland a few
weeks ago the meet resulted in a
tie, 34 to 34, but the local team

competition this time.

working his men hard in prepara
tion for the Multnomah meet, which
will bring the varsity swimming
season into full swing. A week

is being depended upon to take at
least two first places in the meet.

yard free style events. He won
both against the Winged M men in
Portland.

petition against Multnomah, seve
ral women's feature events will be
staged.

THE EASIEST WAT
“I’m not interested.”
How many times do we hear these
words when subjects of political
and economic importance are' in
troduced into the conversation!
Too often for people considered to
be students. The words mean that
we do not care to think, and lack
of thought leads to inaction.
Do we care how our campus is
run; how our government is run?
We say we do, but do we? Most
of us would rather not be bothered.
We usually haven’t time.
We go to class. We hear of the
social and political problems con
fronting us. For a moment we are
inspired to rise, take up the banner
of righteousness and play our part
in solving the problems—until we
go home for dinner. Then comfort
absorbs our interest, and the
righteous indignation fades into
complacency. “This is a pretty good
old world after all,” we assure our
selves, and that’s as far as our in
dignation usually goes.
We go to church. Why? We be

lieve what we hear, yes, but we
tuck it away in some corner of our
brain where it will not bother us
too much. If we are not satisfied
with the things which concern us,
we become soap box orators, but
only for a while. We soon “let
it go hang.”
Yet college students certainly
have the capacity a^'d ability for
constructive thought and action. A
few minutes each day to think out
the reasons behind ' our actions
would keep our ideals in opera
tion.
