Day Editor This Issue Emily Houston Assistant .Jack O’Meara Night Editor This Issue Walter A. Cushman Lynn Wykoff.Assistant Entered as second class matter at the post office at Eugene, Oregon, under act 11 Congress of March 8, 1879. Dr. Miriam Van Waters rJ^HE SPEAKER at yesterday’s assembly is an Oregon gradu ate. In the 17 years since her graduation she has been doing things. “The greatest social forces are clear ideas in the minds of energetic men and women of good will,” she said in her address. Her own activity in the field of social work indi cates that she is of that energetic, intelligent, trained group which is taking a scientific attitude toward the seeds of .crime involved in juvenile delinquency with the ultimate purpose of reducing the criminal crop in this country. Dr. Van Waters holds the position of referee in the juvenile court of Los Angeles. This title, she explains, comes from chancery law which deals with questions of the welfare of the community, but with no intention of punishment. There is no hint of punishment in the attitude taken toward offenders brought before the court, and the use of criminal procedure is eliminated. Rther it is the cause of the break down in the individual that is investigated, and the reaction in the mind of the child to its associations is considered rather than a super stitious faith in the measurements of its skull. The personality, and background of the individual are lifted out of the abstract and become subject to individual treatment. The University is proud to hold up just such women as Dr. Miriam Van Waters as an epitome of its purpose. Who can' deny that her training in sociology, psychology and philosophy has not made possible her broad sympathetic outlook on the affairs of her fellow men, and the fact that she can Avrite a Ph.D. after her name makes her no less a woman. Her address indicated her conception of the value of the home, and the tragedy of maladjustment for the child when economic activ ities crowd out the proper atmosphere. From the sentiments expressed on the campus, Dr. Van Waters lias won a place for herself in the estimation of the students. And avo will express the opinion we have been hear ing since assembly yesterday morning: “We like her!” The Chance Ahead JN THE most terrific game ever played by an Oregon team, the Oregon Agricultural College won from the Varsity 15 to 12 last night. So fast and so close was the game, so excellent the team work, the cheeking and the passing, that criticism of either team would be out of place. Both fought hard, and 0. A. C. won. Oregon still has a chance to come out ahead, and that chance will be grasped with vigor Saturday night. It is strange that every game Oregon has lost has been on the Armory floor, and that not a game has been lost away from home. The Varsity will go to Corvallis Saturday prepared to play j even better than they did here, and with the same amount of j fight. “Dope” might give the Aggies the advantage, but Ore-; gon fight will figure strongly. This fight is a factor to count j on—it was what won the Idaho and the Washington game when : to lose either meant the loss of a chance at the title. Oregon students are not dismayed at the defeat last night. ' Three points is a mighty small margin, too small to say that i one team is better than the other. The Varsity will fight to j win tomorrow, and will fight harder when the third game is played. SYRACUSE ESTABLISHES I of citizenship and public affairs. SCHOOL OF CITIZENSHIP It will deal with problems of domoc- j Syracuse University.—Syracuse racy and the citizen’s duty in a nniversity has established a school democracy.

Black Magic Fear thou to love me, for I bring dark gifts.— Pomegranates over-ripe and sickly sweet— The thin sharp chill of a black fog that lifts From blacker sea; upon the stony street A tarnished copper coin’s metallic ring. The swirl of poisonous incense round a head Of carved jade.—Ah, sasd, dark gifts I bring. This too: the ashes of this heart, long dead. —MARGARET SKAVLAN, in “Voices.” • * • • Carnival Tempestuously mad spring winds , :*'*■ catching up ! the half-wild, half-joyous mood of the year, to twirl the confetti of the pear-blossoms in reckless glee —carnival of abandon. —ELEANOR BURTCHAELL. • * * * Buttercup Dawn The buttercups hold The lyric of truth In silence of gold For first of our youth. A calico girl With eden-blue eyes, Heard larks uncurl Their souls in the skies. An overall boy With freckle-tan nose, Felt crystal joy In one pause of time They both now are gone— Thru dew on his toes. Life spun the dawn To buttercup rhyme. —WALTER EVANS KIDD. • * • • R.S. And you cried out for purple to the dying light And, since you were young, you were answered with rags and bangles torn from the aching, intolerable sunset. You walk proudly, ‘ wearing them in an aura of crimson laughter, Nor, till the far-off advent of tomorrow will come the supercillious crowds in their correct, uncompromising frock-coats, calling you clown. —KATIIRINE KRESSMAN. * • * • White Gifts Hear me, Beloved, hear me my skylark cry White-over-white with whiter dawn And tremulous with lilied dew.
