Day Editor This Issue Jalmer Johnson Night Editor This Issue Jack O’Meara Assistant .Clare Heider Entered aa second class matter at the post office at Eugene, Oregon, under act 1i Congress of March 8, 1879. Existence Justified? 'JpHE PLAY given by Mask and Buskin, chapter of Associated University Players, Thursday evening was most enjoyable entertainment. The fraternity, in producing “Kempy,” proved its worth. It furnished an outlet for campus stage talent, and it gave pleasure to a large number of University folk. Acted and directed by its members only, the organization carried out a principle other clubs and fraternities of similar nature should consider. This is the principle of being worth while. There are others, indeed, which can justify existence on like grounds. Among these, and not attempting to include or exclude, weigh or balance, judge or sentence, but merely by way of illustration, may be mentioned Mu Phi Epsilon and Phi Mu Alpha, musical fraternities, each of which has given a delight ful program before the student body this school year. Siich organizations, professing to take only those who have shown capabilities, or ambition toward development, in their particular field, have a very wholesome effect on the students in their schools. They furnish a stimulus to honest endeavor and attainment of excellence in work. They are a goal, a worthy goal, to the underclassman. The freshman has something tangible and real to strive for. In the process he will gather to himself, also, those intangible and abstract influences of cul ture so essential. In contrast to these and other worthy organizations there are many clubs, honorary fraternities, and other groups on this campus which do not have any apparent excuse for exist ence, other, perhaps, than offering opportunities for a few stu dents to hold the offices of president, sergeant-at-arms and other “honors.” It would be well for all organizations to “check up” on themselves and determine if they are worth the student-hours devoted to them, or w’hether they simply consume valuable time and energy in “going through” useless formalities. In other words, are they really worth-while? Do they benefit anything or anybody? Have they a job to do? Are they doing it? The Emerald believes there is a very considerable number, which, in answer to these questions, would be forced to answer, “No!” “Going, Going,—Gone!” 4<^jOING once! Going twice! Going three times! Gone! Gone to the young co-ed in Russian galoshes. Step for ward, please, and take this fine fountain pen lost and unclaimed by some careless owner!" Such will be the fate of many an orphan "slave"—um brellas, compacts, pencils, pens, coats, and all other trinkets and treasures, many with sentimental values, gathered in by the University Lost and Pound department up to November of last. year. There is one more chance left for the forsaken ar ticles to find their rightful masters, on Monday afternoon be tween 3 and 3:30 o’clock in Journalism building. Tuesday morning, at 10 o’clock, three hard-hearted and in exorable auctioneers, Randall Jones, Bob Mautz and James Leake, will turn a deaf ear to any entreaties of prior right and "knock ’em down” to the highest bidder. The auction block will be on the Library steps. Don’t you hear that poor, lonely pen given you by some gallant calling aloud to be saved this awful fate of being sold "down river" into alien hands? One chance left to heed the call! 'Welcome news comes from the direction of the Music build ing. Dedication of the music auditorium, postponed a number of times, is promised within the next three weeks. Formal opening of the hall has been eagerly awaited by the many cam pus people interested in music. Decorations and architecture, richly combined, will produce an atmosphere enhancing the enjoyment of any concert. Restriction of availability to pro; grams of the highest class only and the consequent associations should make of it. traditionally, a center of joy and inspiration. Campus Bulletin Notices will be printed in this column tor two issues only. Copy must be in this office by 6:30 on the day before it is to be published, and must be limited to 20 words. Dr. Wheeler’s Class in Systematic psychology will meet again at the regular time on Wednesday, March 4. JAPAN8E8 PRUNE TREE BLOOMS IN EVIDENCE The Japanese prune tree which stands back of Friendly hall is in bloom. The tree blossoms every year long before it puts forth its leaves. This is one of the first to bloom on the campus, the white Spirea and yellow Forsythia being the only other plants which are blossoming. The magnolia bushes are budding and with a few more sunny days their large flowers will be in evid ence, says H. M. Fisher, superin tendent of grounds, who watches the campus shrubbery and sees the first blossoms that appear. C. D. THOEPE HAS THESIS ACCEPTED FOE PUBLICATION Professor C. D. Thorpe, former instructor in public speaking on the campus, has had his doctor’s thesis accepted for publication. The the sis, which is on the subject of “The Mind of Keats,” is to be published by the Oxford Press.

Only a limited num ber of students will be allowed to sign up for the course, since too many cannot be accommodated. The camp will last from June 22 to July 25, although registration for the course must be made by June 10. Eight hours credit will be given for the class, which will study all manner of marine zoology. Sunset study Bay is ideally located for such a study with many rocky projections, tide pools, sandy beaches, mud flats and shal low water. The students will live in four cottages and in tents. Al though it is difficult to estimate, the zoology faculty believes that $75 will cover all expenses, includ ing fees and board. Students will be boarded at cost, and will be re quired to furnish only their own bedding, notebooks, hand lenses and dissecting instruments. Microscopes and books will be furnished by the department. A few students who have taken no zoology previously will be al lowed to enter the class. All those wishing to sign up should make im mediate plans, however, since regis tration will be limited.

Dr. Griffin has been secured to give the address at the annual Laymen’s Service of the local Unitarian church. The service begins at 10:45 o ’clock. There is a new and fundamental philosophy of life emerging in our times inspired by Science and moulded by the scientific method. Dr. Griffin is a brilliant scholar with rare gifts of exposition. Few men are better qualified to interpret this new philosophy. The musical program will include a duet by Robert McKnight and Robert Hunt. University men and women are cordially invited to attend this service at “The Little Church of the Human Spirit.”
