“The Primrose Path”
JCURELY no preacher, evangelist, nor reformer has ever
achieved more prompt results than has Mrs. Victoria Dem
arest, who has been telling the University so much about the
dire and awful results of taking something off the hair, and
adding something to the face.
And it is to be noticed that a new epidemic has already at
tacked the campus! The symptoms are alarming to the mind,
and painful to the eye.*- In place of the trim, well-shingled
locks- which formerly graced the upper extremity of his fair
“datee,” the helpless, but writhing “date” is forced into the
torturous necessity of gazing over her shoulder, for dance after
dance, at the mass of fuzz, which is having its “coming out
party. ’ ’
Mrs. Demarest has said that the devil rides in the back seat
of every motor car, and that ninety per cent of the so-called
“fallen women” have started dancing down the “primrose
path to the everlasting bonfire.” Mrs. Demarest is such an ex
ceedingly sweet-faced- rather ethereal type of woman with her
face franked in her puritan-like cap; and her ideals are so mani
festly high, that it is impossible to actually enter into the
ranks of combat with her.
But when the gasping college student looks around him at
what he had thought were innocently happy couples, engaged
in the age old,—but fatal,—pastime of the dance; when he sees
the old malady of Spring Fever break out anew in the merry
—but really innocent—fun of picnic automobile trips up the
McKenzie, and thinks of the unwelcome chaperone in the back
seat; when he gazes upon the seemingly healthful,—but wick
edly deceitful,—complexions of the co-eds; when he realizes
by all of these signs that so many of his beloved fellow stu
dents have started upon an investigation of the “primrose
path;”—well, “let us pray.”
One saving hope looms before a doomed generation. The
co-eds have started the reformation. Already, their hair
snaggles in discouraged wisps from under hairnets, or hangs
disconsolately about the middle of their necks. Perhaps in
time, then, their formerly healthly bloom may change to an
ethereal palor; perhaps the campus restaurants may turn their
grille rooms into tea houses; perhaps Henry Ford may close
his factories; perhaps the world may really come to an end;
perhaps,—but- again, “let. us pray.”

Communications
Letters to the EMERALD from stu
dents and faculty members are
welcomed, but must be signed and
worded concisely. If it is deaired, the
writer's name will bo kept out of
print. It must bo understood that the
editor reserves the right to reject
communications.
PURR E-R E R
When one rubs the cat’s fur the
wiong way the usual result is a
sickning look on the eat’s face and
a small production of electricity.
So might we liken Leon Brvne’s
criticism of “The Raggedy Man,”
the new low-level Guild hall pro
duction.
It must be admitted that when
one has been constantly showered
with bouquets of roses and sweet
peas a sudden change to a barrage
of cabbages and other literary
vegetation rather rubs the fur the
wrong way and a few sparks result.
The sparks have been lighting up
the path between the Administra
tion building and the Emerald edi
tor’s office for two days now. We
would suggest the title of “Lightn
ing Bugs” instead of dramatists to
those who have been pained be
cause they were not acclaimed “the
only, only ones.”
Perhaps Mr. Byrne was a bit
“rough” in expecting too much of
a college production. One cannot
expect the finish and the ultimate
artistic touch that is to be found in
the “big time” circuit and on the
best “boards.” And perhaps also
his construction should bo a trifle
more constructive. In “Kempy” he
certainly did Gordon Wilson a fa
vor as well as the production of the
whole vehicle.
It is my opinion that most stu
dents want a truthful, concise and
accurate review of all productions
so let’s have just thaf, regardless
of who’s who or what’s what. Tt
is through criticism that perfection
is acquired.

MR. EDDY NOMINATED
D«ar Editor: j
Campus Bulletin
Notices will be printed in this column
for two issues only. Copy must be
in this office by 5:39 on the day before
it is to be published, and must be
limited to 20 words.
Freshman Meeting—Tuesday, 4:30,
Villard hall. Very important,
meeting, lasting 15 minutes.
All freshman urged to attend.
Home Economics Books—All books
borrowed are to be returned be
fore the close of the term.
Gym Classes—Meet as usual Mon
day and Tuesday. Everybody be
present.
Tau Nu announces the pledging of
Margaret Pepoon, of Oregon
City, and Josephine Holbert of
Portland.
After gaining a hearty laugh over
the irate communication sent to
the Emerald by the “right rever
ent” Frank Fay Eddy, I feel it my
duty to rush to the aid of the dis
ilusioned and jaundiced Mr. Byrne.
It is a shame to cover up the mar
vellous ability of Mr. Eddy by con
stricting his criticisms to the Eu
gene Guard. Would he object to
giving a • course in “inoffensive
criticizing,” for the salvation of
those who are now making such
horrible mistakes?
I wonder if the wrathful com
municant knows how high the cam
pus players hold themselves—oh,
far above the average professional
that drops into our little peaceful
town—oh, even much better than
Fritz Leiber, May Hobson and the
rest of the “more or less” finished
Actors and actresses. Why not,
then, judge them on the same basis.
It is to be considered that Mr.
Byrne writes his commendation or
condemnation of a production on
the first night and the first pro
duction of the “Raggedy Man” was
rather ragged—except for few
characterizations that kept the play
from expiring completely—lacking
plot and the effects being scattered
—but he didn’t mention the
prompting and missed cues that
were rank in it,—probably he sat
in the back of the house. Anyway,
we are glad Mr. Eddy enjoyed it—
he evidently doesn’t see so very
many plays in which “there is a
wealth of entertainment and no end
of laughs and also an appeal to
tender sentiments.” Perhaps there
will be a nice fairy story or another
“Peter Pan” pretty soon for him to
enjoy.
Mr. Editor, couldn’t we possibly
employ Mr. Eddy’s aid in writing
criticisms. It would keep us from
forgetting that “certain amount of
comradely sympathy that the fel
low students are entitled to’’and
would do away with the jaundiced
and dissolusioned Menckens that air
their spleen in such w-holesale criti
cism. Everything would be sweet
and pretty and the dear players
would not have to writhe under the
lash of a callow and inexperienced
youth.—READER OP MB. EDDY’S
COLUMN.
“O TEMIJORA, O MORES”
To the Editor:
“Vanity of vanities: all is van
ity.”
The theologians have it! Gabriel
has triumphed, and Lucifer is cast
down to the utter depths of Hell!
Righteousness is rampantly trium
phant! The right hand of the Lord
hath righted another wrong! Eu
reka! T wave my unhallowed
shirt-tail in glee!
The Sphinx has broken its si
lence. Pearls of celestial wisdom
roll from the theological lips: thel
unchaste is chastened: the jann- !
diced is rejaundiced, and the inevi-!
table coating of soft soap is plas
tered about the modest forms of
the local aspirants to the shoes of
the Terrys and the Barrymores. The
white flag of hypocrisy waves aloft
once more.
“Vanity, vanity,—” (not to be
come theological!—“all is vanity!”
THE JAUNDICED ONE. j
THE “POLLYANNA” ATTITUDE
Dear Editor:
Tt’s a chamo—why not permit
Frank Fay Eddy to write the
dramatic criticisms for the Emer
ald. There is no doubt but that
the company would thrive under the
sweet applause he would put in the
little lower left-hand square of the
“morning after” paper. He is wil
ling. I feel certain, to donate his
services (judging from the column
of righteous and indignant, blah
blah he sent in to this morning’s
Emerald. Perhaps Mr. Byrne’s ar
ticle didn’t agree with Frank Fay
Eddy’s criticism of the “Raggedy
Man,” or maybe the indignant one!
just wanted a little publicity, but
it is very evident that he hasn’t
made the grade yet to the plane
where he could judge the dramatic
productions from a “standpoint
ripe in both judicial experience and
knowledge.” Mr. Eddy, we fear.!
stands on the “Pollvanna” level,
which, we must admit, is just the
right level for a safe-and-snne crit

attitude increases the attendance
of the play.

pearance counts much
in the game of life.. The young

But—it is surprising how little

Be careful in your selection of

“Revivalism or
Evolutionism?”
A Study of the Religious Mind of Eugene
Sermon Theme of the Rev. Frank
Fay Eddy at the Unitarian
Church Sunday Morning
The theme will be developed from three thought ap
proaches. First, the revivalistic approach will be consid
ered as illustrated in the various revival services held
in the city during the past few months, particularly
considering the Demarest revival. Secondly, the topic
will be discussed from the viewpoint of modern philo
sophical thinking as illustrated by Rabbi Wise in his two
University addresses. In the third place the approach
of the new or modernistic orthodoxy will be discussed.
Frankly, this sermon will be a plea for straight-for
wardness in solving our religious problems. Incidentally,
but quite inevitably, this will involve a critical estimate
of the contemporary muddled attempt to travel the road
toward the future with the eyes fixed on the past or in
other words to attempt to progress in reverse gear.
The Soloist at the Morning Service will be
Wanda Eastwood, Violinist
Services begin at 10:45 o’clock. There is a cordial
welcome to all University men and women at “The Little
Church of the Human Spirit.”
