Tennis Courts and “Hoss Sense "y^ITHIN the last two years the student body has expended a considerable sum on the construction of new tennis courts for the avowed purpose of increasing facilities for greater participation in the sport. Last year the game added many fol lowers to its list of enthusiasts, due in some part, at least, to the new Qoncretes. Miss Irene Buckley, coach of this sport for women’s classes' has announced that this term there are five women’s classes filled to capacity, the enrollment totaling 180 students. ’ ■*' **•*’'" ‘' Many more courts will have to be constructed to care for the increasing demand, however, if the new block continues to be conducted along present lines. Considerable complaint is being made protesting the right of players to hold a court as long as they pay for it. Obviously, if players are allowed to monopolize the facilities in this way the original object of con structing the new sections is frustrated. Last year players who had enjoyed an hour’s pleasure with raquet and ball were required to offer up their places if any one was waiting. Such a rule is.based not only upon natural courtesy, but upon common ordinary “plain sense” as well. The Emerald politely but firmly suggests that courtesy and “plain sense” be invoked again this spring and the new care taker be instructed that his job consists of more than mere col lection of tolls. It includes, as well, supposition that he shall endeavor to administer the courts in a just manner, allowing as many players an opportunity for their use as is compatible with fairness to priority rights. Vile Stuff That,—Poison Oak ^LTHOUGH the last two or three days have been lowering and drippingly wet- the warning issued from the Univer sity Health department, that “the poison oak will get you if you don’t watch,out,” is not so untimely as might seem on first thought. This is April, month of alternate showers and sun shine, and any morning the alarm clock gong may awaken the drowsy slumberer fj;om the oblivion of sleep to a day of clear skies and beckoning hills. Out in the hills bright green-red leaves are bursting irom sombre jackets, sticky and rank. They are rather pretty, those leaves, and one is reminded of the young co-ed who “rashly” bounced in with an armful of the awkward stuff and suggested its use for decorating the spring term formal. It was following this episode that a wise and thoughtful house-mother earnestly requested that a course in botany be required of all freshmen in the fall, with particular emphasis placed on classification of shrubs and plants. It was into her bare arms the ingenuous freshman threw her florql suggestion. Results from infection by poison oak toxin are no “smiling” affair, as the experienced and chastened will sadly testify. The trend of medical practice is more and more toward prevention rather than ci«re after contraction of disease. In this, the Uni versity Health service has been particularly strong this year, and no epidemics have ravaged the campus as they have a number o^ times in the past. Educational campaigns advocating prevention through cau tion1 however, are of little benefit without the cooperation of the students themselves. They have shown themselves willing in this respect during two ticklish times this year, once when Jhere was serious danger of a spread of small-pox, and, more re cently, when an epidemic of la grippe threatened. Of course, there is little point in making a big fuss over poison oak. which is not usually serious beyond the discomfort suffered by the afflicted. It may not be amiss, however1 since the course in botany is not required, to point out to the canny contemplater of out door expeditions the advisability of making a “Rowing acquaintance” with the “vile shrub” and learn to give it the “cold shoulder” on subsequent encounters. A fraternity at 0. A. C. has installed a laundry. Do they intend to “clean up” the alleged bad conditions so often adver tised as e\isting m present day college life? I Cheer up, Senior men! 1^’s all over. Campus Bulletin Notices will be printed in this column for two issues only.

If it is desired, the writer’s name will be kept out of print. It must be. understood that the editor reserves the right to reject SMOKE HEREAFTER! To the Editor: Just now there is a petty fuss up about violating the Oregon tradi tion of smoking on the campus— and where there is so much smoke there must be some fire! Or per haps some one may be fired for smoking! There’s no doubt that the smok er has some rights, that smoking is essential to the recreation of certain individuals. There is no question that smoking should be | done in the dry—not out in the rain. But as far as smoking on the campus as a whole is concerned— well, a tradition’s a tradition, for one thing. Then there’s more than that. Some people are violently opposed to the use of tobacco, and those people pay taxes to pay the cost of operating the University. They believe that smoking is harm ful, and any step to encourage it in their eyes is wrong. The actual campus comprises a small part of the University district, and surely these people are worthy of that much respect. Then to many the odor of tobac co it distasteful. Many students would not like to study in smoke infested rooms, and the blue hafce actually makes some peoples’ eyes smart. In spite of allegations to the contrary, cigarette stubs and empty “Camel” packages would litter the campus to a great extent if smok ing were permitted. This alone should be a very good reason. But the writer of this is a smok er, and he likes a puff now and then. So let’s compromise. Keep the old Oregon tradition for the reasons stated above—but create a few nicotine spots in inconspicu ous places. The court is a good place for art and architecture stu dents, and others can find a handy spot near where they work. Let’s smoke, but not everywhere! LUCKY TARRYTON.
