C. Kollar of Vienna in the exhibition room of the Arts building Wednesday evening. His discussion of the way in which Professor Cizek encourages children to produce art forms in the State School of Arts and Crafts in Vienna had a popular flavor which should leave an impression on the minds of his hearers. The joy of self-expression, the happiness in creating—this was the theme of his talk. In this we meet an old friend in a new dress. It is a thing that should not need to be told to stu dents who presumably come to the University from choice. And yet, strangely enough, the reminder is stimulating. We may disagree with Professor Kollar in his belief that beauty has only a subordinate place in art. We may disagree with the method of “no method” which he praises as the best way of instructing children. We may ask if there is to be no correlation with the art traditions of the past. We may ques tion the possibilities of creating a great and significant art by accepting his standards. But we are bound to agree with him that art is not simply for the few. We can but sympathize with his effort to make art, expression, creation, a part of the life of the people, an integral portion of the joy of living. The attitude toward art which one encounters is often a sense of mystification. The average layman feels that there must be a certain hokus-pokus to the stuff which makes it im possible for him' a simple by-stander, to understand it. He does not see it in its true aspect as a pleasure or work in which he can participate. # Until the average person, the average home, can take art for its own, there can be no cultural background of this sort. It must be remembered that there have been ages in which every workman was a true craftsman, and the common man produced things of beauty. The Gothic cathedrals of the Old World stand as monuments to one phase of this spirit. The United States has its examples in a different way. The inheritors of the western tradition can point to the California missions which were built under the guidance of a few priests, but actually done by the Indians. And everywhere that the crafts, and their big brother, art, flourish, there is a new color, a new beauty and a new pattern to life which gives it significance. “It Is Good” ** JF YOU don't succeed the first time, try try again!” is a platitude, but none the less valuable and applicable in certain places despite its doddering gait and gray whiskers. One of these cases where ancient vintage and overwork has not prevented correct application has been the University regis trar's office. From year to year the students have had to change their method of enrolling in the University until they had become as puzzled, bewildered and awkward as a freshman going through his first gyrations to the opposing commands of ‘‘Right fact ’ and ‘‘Left face” in the shadow of Cemetery Ridge. . Even in the remembrance of present seniors, registration red tape has assumed various hues from delicate pink to violent scarlets, and luckless enrollees would often find themselves inextricably tangled in its writhing coils. Coming back each fall and finding it necessary to re-learn the art of becoming of ficially recognized as an undergraduate member of the institu tion lost all semblance of novelty. After watching the process of registration Monday, how even the Emerald believes that Carlton Spencer, registrar, has achieved success. It was pleasant indeed to find the afternoon free for a stroll, or to unpack the vacation trunk, or just to dally about greeting old friends, after philosophically crossing the date off the calendar at some previous time as “Lost_Reg istration Day." Most of the students had completed the for mality of handing in their information card within one hour from the time they climbed the Administration building steps, and the business oft ice lobby appeared singularly deserted bv afternoon, when compared with other years. As stated, the Emerald believes Mr. Spencer has succeeded. It only hopes that Mr. Spencer, also, feels he has succeeded, and. content in that knowledge with henceforth- ignoring the plati tude first quoted, “Let well enough alone.” Campus Bulletin Notices will be printed in this column for two issua only. Copy must be in this office by SUM on the day before it is to be published, and must be limited to 20 words. Cosmopolitan Club—Meet Friday evening at 7 in Guild hall for dress rehearsal.

SMOKING DEFENDED Editor of the Emerald: Our attention has been called to a recent editorial headed “No Smoking.” It is not our purpose to disagree with the writer in his ob ject of making our traditions invio late, but we do wish to take up the complaint directed at the School of Architecture; to suggest that a friendly inquiry on the part of the Student Officer would have led at least to a comprehension of the situation, if not to commenda tion of the practice of smoking in our court yard. We would not defend any one who grossly insulted a Student Of ficial. If someone did, as reported, he deserves severe opprobrium. Nor do we wish to seem to encourage disregard for venerable tradition or sound precautionary measures. We do wish to suggest that tradition is not dogma, but a living, vital thing. It is subject to the influ ences of life, of evolution. The School of Architecture is a work shop where long hours are spent without the recreation of movement from one building to an other, and as for some unfortun ates smoking gives relaxation and recreation, perhaps it will be al lowed that they should not be de nied the privilege. As to the place of its exercise: in former years the east porch on University street was used, but in the reconstruction work the porch covering was re moved. The Court, designed as a meeting place, a linking unit be tween the schools that group around it, was a natural recourse. We hope that this will lead to an understanding that our position is not one of disregard of, or dis respect for authority or tradition. RICHARD P. CARRUTHER8, President, Architecture Club. PROGRESS? NEVER! To the Editor: When I read your yesterday’s editorial on the tradition of the campus smoking prohibition I be came red hot. My temper was not aroused at your editorial for, plain ly enough, you but pointed out that as we have rules we might as well live up to them. What does get me red around the collar is the tenacious bull-dog hold a few leading lights have on that old, worn out custom of prohibit ing smoking on the campus. The product of a wishy sentimental age in our history, when the W. 0. T. TT. was the most influential or ganization except for the board of regents, the old taboo on smoking on the campus stands as a monu ment to our backwardness. All the universities on the coast, with the possible exception of Stanford, have progressed with the trend of I the newer generations and have re legated the nnti-smoking custom to the waste basket. Why can not we recognize that our historians and sociologists are correct when they tell us that our society is not static but a moving, growing and changing thing. Here we are. supposedly representatives of the most liberal thought in the state and yet ns backward and reti cent ns a backwoods village—prob ably more so. There is no actual record of the I State Eire Marshall’s supposed ban j on smoking on the campus, ns mnnv, would have us believe. At most i he would object only to smoking in the wooden buildings that grace our campus, a common sense rule possibly. But objecting to smok ing on the grounds—where’s the rubt The cigarette stubs that would litter the lawns would be but a small increase in the number of bits of paper that the force of campus grounds keepers now have to pick up every day. Mr. Fisher himself would not have heart fail ure at the additional load put on mm I COMING EVENTS I 4*--<b Saturday, April 4 2:30 p. m.—Matinee, Festival of Nations, Guild hall. 8:00 p, m.—Festival of Na tions, Guild hall. 8:30 p. m.—Formal dedica tion, Music auditorium.

In face of these few consider tions I would like to suggest to the traditions committee that they remove the ban on smoking on the campus. It would certainly mark them as a progressive body of leg islators. K. A. P. LERWILL SUBSTITUTES ON EUGENE REGISTER Leonard Lerwill, who was grad uated from the school of journal ism last June, came to Eugene Tuesday to take charge of the telegraph news for the Eugene Eegister, during the absence of the telegraph editor.

Pack ard, of the geology department, from a French firm which special izes in archeological implements and natural history specimens. The collection includes, several different groups that have geolog ic interest. In it are found typical specimens of European rocks, fos sils of different kinds, and a ser ies of models in plaster of the flint and stone implements manufac tured by the prehistoric cave dwel lers who lived at least 25,000 years ago. These implements, which are scientific and exact reproductions of the originals, show the wonder ful workmanship to which the men of that time had attained, consider ing that the weapons were made without aid of metals, one stone being used to chip another into shape. Models of bone needles and harpoons made by the Magdalen ian man, also showing a highly de veloped craftsmanship, are includ ed in the set. DOUGHNUT PRACTICE IN TENNIS STARTED House tennis practice for women started Wednesday, it was an nounced at a meeting, held Apri; 1, and will continue until April 15, when the house tournaments begin Before this time, each girl on tht house team must have had six 45 minute practices. House managers were given cards on which to cheek each girls’ prac tice, and for which they are re sponsible. Each team is composed of one single player, one double team, and a substitute. As soon as possible the manager must get her team picked and hand|i their names into Miss Curley’s of fice in the Woman’s building so! that the team can get its six tick- j ets for practice. About nine houses were not rep resented at the meeting. Those who wish to enter the tournament now may do so by seeing either Irene Buckley at Thacher cottage, or Khona Williams at Kappa Alpha Theta.

Each of us girls have so much to tell about the vacation that none of us have found much time to do a I great deal yet. Teas and tulips 1 They are very effective together. At Raup’s Floral Shop, we got some beau tiful Darwin tulips which are of a delightful shade of coral. Ar ranged with maidens hair fern in vases they made fetching dec orations for a tea we had yester day for the alumnae. Every one remarked how beautiful the tulips were, for they look like roses. Eor the dining room, we had large sweetpeas in the same shade of coral, combined with lavendar sweet peas and fern. They, too, were quite pretty. Blanche has fin ally decided to keep her hair bobbed. Her folks prefer her hair long; so she has con ceived the idea of hnniwlM Vk/vVtVkaA „ -» - - at college and long hair at home. She went to Hasting Sisters where they sell Pacific bob cre ations which immediately trans form one’s hair into an attrac tive coiffure. The Pacific swirl is especially desirable, because it is so easy to adjust. Don’t you think that I am I real industrious? I am making a suit of pajamas which I bought at the Phares’ Baby Shop. It is of silky voile that comes in tomato color, which as you know is so popular this spring. It is sleeveless and the trimming is of tan voile. A clever little pocket and a dash of color here and there, embroidered in sprays, make the pajamas especially clever. It takes very little time, for there is no lace to sew on. Our lunches these days are mighty tempting. Very fre quently we have delicious baked ham and large, juicy dill pickles, accompanied by wonderful sand wiche buns. These, of course, were bought at Underwood and Elliott's Grocery; for at that store, the ham is received fresh three times a week. The bakery goods are always so appetizing because they are sold the same day that they are made. • » * Every girl in the house now goes to the Co ed Barber Shop to have her hair bojibed, for the l i u a i w x o tiicxvjm/v/—w know just what style is becoming to each type of an individual. This efficiency of theirs has drawn customers from all parts of town to the shop, which is lo cated just back of the Co-op at 1258 Kincaid street. Peg and I went into Skeie’s looking for wrist watch ribbons. Instead they showed us the very atest in wrist watch bands—sil ver link bracelets. We were quite delighted with them, the lilver band looks so much smart ‘r with one’s dressy things than he ribbon—and it has the ad vantage in wearing qualities. Phe bracelets come also in white 'Old. m Farewell for this time—I’m iff for a ride on my galloping harger (wish I had a new rid ng habit).
