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?

Communications
Letters to the EMERALD from stu

welcomed, but must be signed and
worded Concisely. 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!

CALIFORNIA EXTENSION
PLANS Y. W. CLASSES
The National Training School of
the Y. W. C. A. announces, in con
nection with the University of Cali
fornia summer session at Berkeley,
California, two extension courses—
one in Girl Beserve leadership and
the other in leadership in town
communities. The dates are June
22-August 1, 1925. ^
The object of this course is to
give the fundamental principles of
work with younger girls, as found
in the Girl Beserve movement of
the Y. W.' C. A.; to provide prac
tice in the various activities, and’
to help show the value of club
movement as a process of informal
education and as a character build
ing factor in the life of a teen
age girl. An attempt will be made
to deal with the general needs of
teen age girls in relation to club
organization, so that anyone inter
ested in general club work with
girls may find this course helpful.
A brief outline of the course in
cludes:
The History, Purpose and Phil
osophy of the Girl Beserve Move
ment of the Y. W. C. A., Princi
ples of Program Planning, Princi
ples of Adult Guidance and Girl
Initiative, Training in Technique,
Special Projects and Demonstra

Due to a typographical error, a
statement in the Emerald yesterday
morning stated "... at a meeting
yesterday noon, of Virgil Earl, ath
letic director, Dave Adolph, man
ager, and varsity letterman.” The
I last word should have read “letter

to the reader that lettermen attend
