Nelson Xntered u second claee matter at the poet office at Eugene, Oregon, under act gt Congress of March 8, 1879. April Frolic “'T'ERM Calendar Already Filled-” reads an Emerald head ing in Saturday’s paper. Of these important “dates” there is at least one which ranks high as a tradition. That one is Ajril Frolic, which has not only become a tradition, but has quite a body of mythology grown up around it. The usual supposition is that all the men on the campus do not attend the men’s smoker given on that same evening. It is, indeed, often surprising to see the number of town ladies who wear large shadowy hats or veils as they sit demurely in the balcony looking on at the pirates, and pixies and little children with lollipops, below. The Greeks of old, we are often reminded, used to occasion ally delight in bacchante revels. Something even in the philo sophic temperament demanded a short while of letting off steam, soj[o speak. In like manner, the “serious young women” who formerly frequented the “female seminary” are now per mitted within the precincts of the co-educational college to pur sue their labors and learned researches. They, too, require the occasional, in this case, yearly- indulgence in a frolic, in which they may, figuratively, gambol on the green. The men, it seems, are not invited to this gay and festive af fair. Those who enter the sacred confines of the Woman’s building do so at their own peril, it has been said. It is- of course, but a short while since April Fool’s day, and almost anything might happen in the way of left-over jokes. But as for joining the young ladies who gambol on the green—well, to use the Irish saying which harks back to olden times when ' gentlemen of honor laid their wj^?s on the ground and went to j it with swords—if any benighted frosh is found, “Sure, there’ll < be wijjs on the green, an’ none to lift ’em!” Dreams in Brick and Mortar i T\HE FORMAL dedication of the newly completed auditorium of the,.school of music on Saturday evening was the culmin ation of the dreams of many persons for years past. It means that music and talents musical have a permanent “home” on the campus—a fact of considerable significance after the Music building has for so long consisted of single small practice rooms and offices and the empty shell of what was one day to be the completed auditorium. That day has arrived, and the school of music is now tied together by having a common meeting ground. It is as if a boarding house were suddenly transformed into a home with an honest-to-goodness living room on the main floor. This idea of unity has been foreseen many times over by schools at the University. It. was not so long a time ago that the school of architecture and allied arts was united with the uniting of the buildings ns the outward symbol. The buildings were tied together by a simple ambulatory around an inner courtyard, with a small fireproof gallery as a further partner ship room. The rounding out of these schools not only makes a pleas anter atmosphere for the students, but it makes the sitizens of the state who visit the institution view the schools as the indi vidual forces they are. The school of music has for a long time been known as a cultural force, a self-supporting addition to the state University. The work of the glee clubs, orchestra and individual musicians can now have the appropriate setting and a real “home base.” Rights and Riots rpiIE STUDENTS of Fisk University. Nashville. Tennessee. staged a tin-pan riot in February which culminated in the breaking of several windows, we are told in an article in The Nation for March IS. Three points of significance are to be noted in this connection. Til the first place, the students of the university are negroes, the university being “one of the mission schools founded after the Civil War by generous-spirit ed white Northerners.” In the second place- the revolt was oc casioned by the rigid restrictions of individual liberty: no smok ing, all the girls wearing uniforms of black'dresses and cotton stockings, all lights out at ten, no friendships permitted be tween nu'n and women students. And in the third place, the police were called out by the white president to quell the riot. It may be that the president of Fisk considered the beating of tin pans as a relic of the barbaric past of the negroes, and seriously objected. Tt may be that he is by temperament averse to the sound of them. Yet liberty is not so old a thing as to cease to be dear. An infringement of it on his part even after an appeal from the Fisk student committee has tempted,1 stupidly or deliberately, a reversion to type.

SCHOLARSHIPS OFFERED FOR MEDICAL STUDENTS It lias been customary in the past to award three or four scholarships to medical students of the Univer lity of Oregon when they proceed >o the medical school in Portland. “Each scholarship carries with it ordinarily tuition for one year at ichool,” explained Dr. Harry B. rorrey, of the zoology department. ‘Preference is given to graduate itudents and seniors, who are also jraduates of Oregon, but juniors ire eligible.” Applications for these seholar ihips should be sent to Dr. Torrey oefore the first of May. rENNIS PLAYERS ASKED TO AMPLIFY COSTUMES The department of ..physical edu ■ation for men has issued a notice equesting that the men playing ennis do not wear short gymnas um trousers while playing.

The men chosen will go to Portland to repre sent the University in the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate golf tourna ment, to be held May 21 and 22. The campus champion for 1925 also will be determined in the matches this week. All who wish to enter the tourna ment must play 18 holes and hand in their score cards before next Monday to Floyd Byerly, who will have charge of the tournament. The first round of the tournament must be played by April 20. This makes it necessary that the cards be turned in early. As soon as the scores are in, Byerly will make up the flights, and these will be an nounced as soon thereafter as pos sible.

Get a bag of corn meal and ask the cook to make you hot cakes to morrow for a change. Wouldn’t they taste good —browned to a crisp in sizzling bacon fat and spread with melted but ter and thick maple sy rup ? And then for a change at lunch time — a plate heaped w i t h steaming squares o f cornbread, with plenty of butter and tart jam, served with let tuce salad with a French dressing and a fruit for dessert is a lunch in itself.

Communications Letters to the EMERALD from stu dent* and faculty members are welcomed, but must be eicaed end worded concisely. If it is desired, the writer's name will be kept out of print. It most be undesetood that the editor reset-roe the right to reject communications. SIGNS IN ALL THE LANGUAGES PRESCRIBED Instead of intelligence tests for professors, I would suggest a primer on campus geography, and signs written in all languages, including “word of one syllable,” for asi ninely dumb students, who can’t distinguish between Dr. Barnett’s courses in American Political Science, and Donald Barnes’ Eng lish History. What is most puzzling is this: How did the said student prepare his assignments? Presum ably by studying the same pages in his English history text that Dr. Barnett assigned in Beard’s “Amer ican Government and Politics,” or Bryce’s “American Commonwealth.” Why not combine the courses for those students who cannot distin guish the difference and teach them a term of cross-word puzzles. S. McK. COLONEL. LEADER’S NEWS LETTER INTERESTING GOSSIP Editor Emerald: Vancouver has been very empty of Oregonians all the winter. One gets so used to seeing them in the summer months, and in reply to my boisterous greet ings the males always retort with “Colonel, for the love of Mike, where’s the nearest government liquor store?” The only honorable exception last year was Dean Straub, who, of course, knew al ready. Our basketball team made mighty good reading for an exile. It has always entertained me seeing our emissaries rushing over the TJ.

The New Zealand “All Blacks,” the Rugby world's champions, play ed three matches here. They were the most wonderful iathleticl ma chine I ever saw. Of course, they had practically no opposition here, but it made their performance all the more dazzling. Under our ama teur rules a coach is not allowed, and the men have to pay all their own expenses except traveling and hotel bills, so it is a marvel how they have attained their wonder ful team work. If I had Lynn j Jones and Bob Mautz up to see those games (as I meant to), I think it would have made quite a difference in our team next fall. “Skinny” Newton blew in at my club this winter, and explained, bashfully, that he was going to be married to a divinity, and needed my wife and myself. I did my best for him and told him it was just like jumping off a dock, and offer ed to have him shanghaied, but it was all no use, so we pushed him through. Virginia Judy Esterlv was up and left her usual atmosphere of peacefulness and gracious wisdom. George Rebec was up and made a really good impression. In fact competent critics say that he is much too big a man to be preach ing the ologies and osophies, why the man could be a star forward in a shinny team. Our vacant lot is being built over, so we had to play on the road, and the puddles and rats were bad owing to the rain. Once when the Dean hit the oppos ing line in a deep pnddle, it looked like Aphrodite rising from the foam, and we had to hold him back by the—er’ clothes to keep him from knocking out a drayman who had interposed his dray at a criti cal moment, and stopped a record run and a goal. The next time one of my Amazon shinny teams takes on a fraternity team, I shall have to camouflage the Dean and play him centre forward for ns. I hear nearly every week from Arthur Bosebraugh, who is really beginning to get the inspiration of Oxford. I hear from other sources that he is making an impression there, such as few Bhodes scholars from this country have done. He missed his half Blue for the quar ter—by six inches. In the vacation, he did a tour of “Stately Homes of England” and told me that it was only there that he got the real Ore gon spirit—a fact which I have preached to you for seven years.
