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.

US MEN GOLFERS
TO PUT FOB TITLE
Varsity Team Also Will Be
Chosen This Week
Plans for the second University
of Oregon men’s golf tournament
have been announced by George
Bronaugh, captain of the varsity
team.
1 Matches will be played on the
Eugene course this week as a basis
for selecting the team, and all Uni
versity men are eligible. 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.

BREAKFAST’S READY
Doesn't the gang some
times get everlastingly
tired of the same break
fast? 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.
Cornmeal can always
b e mixed w i t h other
flours in breads and pud
dings to give a more de
cided flavor. Mixed with
jracker eumbs it makes
lie best of covering for
your breaded veal.
And besides, cornmeal
is inexpensive. Its use
will help you keep down
the house’s food bill.

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.

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

“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

the greatest all around coach on the
coast.
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.

in the fourth moon of the fourth
year of our exile.
