1 The Manhattan Web Foot j Former Emerald Editor Writes News From Columbia University By Arthur S. Budd Don Woodward, the globe-trotting editor of the Emerald, has flashed a request across the continent for another “New York colyum.” There is little time in this busy place for writing colyums or even letters (as some friends of straying Oregonians may have observed) but the mem ory of the crying need for “copy” about this time last year, is some what of a stimulus. Anyway here’s something in the way of a response. If the present pilot of the Emer ald’s destinies has had the same experience as certain former editors in securing cppv from former cam pus scribes he will probably be sur prised at the promptness with which ids request for this colyum is receiv ing. He can thank the weather man. After weeks of beautiful weather Manhattan’s skies are dripping. The lights of Broadway are reflect ed somewhat more brigjhtly than are the light clusters on Willam ette street, but the idea is the same. Up on the campus the great dome of the Columbia library is nearly hidden in the mist and from River side drive one can hardly see the electric signs on the Jersey shore. Rain, misty night and writing for the Emerald seem to be sort of con nected. Perhaps that’s why this colyum is being written tonight. * * *• NEW YORK FASCINATING TO OREGONIANS New York continues to fascinate most of the Oregonians who have strayed this far away from home. Even Duck Soo Chang, a fellow .-journalist who used to get A’s in Dean Allen’s editing class last year, and who has a newspaper in Korea calling him home, is planning to ex tend his visit a year beyond what he expected to make it when he came. # * # DUCK SOO CHANG’S STORY INTERESTING Chang left Oregon without very many of his fellow students know ing a great deal about him. In work ing up an article on his experience, for a journalistic trade paper, this writer found that the youthful Ko rean had been persecuted, imprison ed and tortured for his liberal ideas. His story makes a corking yarn— one that some inquiring reporter should have dug up for last year’s Emerald. Perhaps the article for the trade paper by one who might have dug it up will partly erase the blaek mark. Chang lives at Inter national House, a giant structure on Riverside drive where students of every nationality reside. It is the home of the Cosmopolitan club. It is .a far cry from the magnificent building which rears itself over the Hudson to the little hut where “Mother” Donnelly takes care of her foreign “boys” on the Oregon campus—but the spirit is all the same. EMERALD STORY HAS MUSING MISTAKE The Emerald is continuing the excellent standard which the pres ent editor began last fall and which perhaps it has had more or less ever since James Gilbert first edited it, years ago. Like all papers, it con tinues to slip up now and then with amusing consequences. The writer recently wrote Dean Allen a letter, mentioning that he had seen Marion Lay, a former Ojegon student. It said definitely that Miss Lay was in New York, working on a novel and enjoying her experience in this city. In giving out the story Dean Allen evidently mentioned to the re porter who took the story that Miss Lay had been employed on a New Hampshire newspaper last fall. The reporter quoted us as saying that Miss Lay is the city editor of a New Hampshire paper. Let it be knowm that the lady journalist in ouestion is very much in Manhattan and has made some excellent con nections in the publishing field. Now that that’s over—! OREGON GET-TOGETHER NOT SUCCESSFUL The movement to stage an Ore gon get-together in New York to get the web-foot clan together has been all mental thus far. Everyone seems too busy to make definite arrangements. To date two or three Oregonians chatting over the tea cups and an Emerald or an Old Ore gon, has been about as far as the get-together movement has prog ressed. * # • HANK FOSTER TO CONDUCT FRESH AIR CAMP A meeting with “Hank” Foster, a famous trackster of. some years back and a loyal alumnus of Ore gon, brought out the news that he is to have charge of the nationally known boys’ fresh-air camp, which the magazine “Life” conducts each summer on Long Island. Bill Sors bv, present freshman baseball coach at Oregon, will probably be with Hank in this new endeavor. Hank is now the athletic director at an exclusive boys’ school in the su burbs of New York and his repu tation in the field of physical edu ation is growing fast. EASTERN TUITIONS ARE HIGH Students who have come east and have shelled out from $250 to $300 tuition for one year’s university work wonder more than ever at the outcry of the student union build ing campaign opponents when they were asked to pledge t.en dollars a year. Oregon students will never appreciate their tuition-free state until they attend an institution that really charges for its doses of knowledge. YOUNG LADY ACQUIRES PECULIAR GIFT One young lady who recently left the Hello Lane district for the throbbing east had an amusing ex perience on one of “Mayor Hylan’s j subways.” Amusing experiences on j a subway are not uncommon. Get | ting one’s feet stepped on or hav j ing one’s hat smashed in during a ! 5 o ’clock rush is so amusing that ! one is often prompted to strike outf rather viciously into the thundering herd just to show that one appre ciates the humor of the situation. Getting back to the story. This young lady was returning from a trip to that far-away land known as Jersey. She was so engrossed in the latest F. P. A. colyum that she did not notice that a child had chosen her shoulder to go to sleep upon. She did not notice it in fact until the child’s mother began knocking on the ear window outside. The mother, being incumbered "with some half a dozen offspring, had failed to notice the absence of Num ber Seven until she had reached the platform and the automatic subway doors had closed behind her. There was a wild ride to the next station, the roar of the| subway j being drowned by the shrieks of the i youngster. v Just how the young J lady returned the precious package | to its maternal owner has not been | made public. It was u more effec tive course in the care and handling | of children than O. A. C. could ever give in a like amount of time. Several inquiries have come from the campus as to the cost of spend ing a year at Columbia. The scores of Oregonians who are already here i seem to prove that the idea of com | ing east is becoming more popular, i Perhaps its a disease akin to, Ox forditis. The consensus of opin ion among those who are here is that one can live here and attend : the University for $100 a month. ; As everywhere, however, the more the merrier. One hundred a month I won’t permit much time in the night clubs or best seats at the ! opera. But then there’s always the . movies, Fifth Avenue busses and | the “family circle” at the Metro politan. A gang from Oregon heard | Mme. Ernestine Schumann-Heink i for 83 cents each recently. I WENONA DYER DROPS IN | FOR A VISIT i When Wenona Dyer, one of the storm centers of last year’s cam ! pus frivolity, dropped in for a vis j it in Father Knickerbocker’s home town, Easter week-end, there was a I general gathering of the clan. Had ; don, Kate and “the Clown” were 4 all that were needed to make the j party a typical “liberty'steps” jol lification. Wenona1 stopped here j on her way upstate after a vaca I tioi* trip to Washington. D. C., and j was a guest of Frances Wavland I Smith, ffhe is teaching near Svra ; cuse. Lorna Coolidge Miller, ’23, j of campus dramatic fame is living at 20.1 W. 114th street, which is practically on Columbia’s campus ; and which makes it possible for her to see a number of her friends who live in thie vicinity. Like the rest of the Oregon group she is quite enthufiastic about the East. Herm Blaesing, who is studying I desigp at Columbia, takes a jaunt now and then up into Vermont, | where is observes the way and the ' place where tombstone material growp. STUDENTS GROAN OVER 9 O’CLOCK CLASSES j Columbia college students groan more about 9 o’clock classes than Oregon students do over eight i o ’clocks. Many of the night clubs , dp not close until dawn and as there ; are still a few of these places with ! out padlocks, Columbia just couldn’t get started before nine. The average day in this town be gine at 10 and ends at 3, which is an interesting difference from the kind of a day the 10:30 sorority house-rule enforces at home.

A-16-17 PATRONIZE EMERALD ADVERTISERS VeGJlTONAL EXPERT SPEAKS TO WOMEN Goal for College Graduate Set By Visitor To have developed thfe power of thinking, a sense of value, and the ability of cooperation should be the goal for the college graduate, ac cording to Miss Florence Jackson, an expert vocational worker of Bos ton, who spoke at a mass meeting of the Women’s League Monday in Villard hall. After the completion of a college career one should, according to Miss Jackson, be able to hold intelligent ideas on subjects which are of in terest to the world, the nation, and the individual’s own community. She emphasized the importance of cooperation to anyone, whether she enters a position of responsibility or not. The girl who makes a success of her college life and works her way through school is the one who has sharpened her sen^e of value in that each minute has held its own particular worth. In the last census of 1920 one woman in every five was found to be a wage earner. Miss Jackson pointed, out that women had begun sharing the field of work with men i as early as 1819. Any line taken in college gives a vocational side, and in nine cases out of ten is training to teach in that field of work. One is always affiliated with education, stated Miss Jackson, whether it is to edu cate one’s own children or those of others, or to pay taxes, which in part will go toward the mainte nance of schools. With the growth of innumerable I opportunties it is no wonder that ■ women are taking the stand they | are in business life, according to j the speaker. , “In choosing a profession it is j extremely advisable,” the speaker said, “to analyze oneself. Then j when the choice has "been made it | is necessary Jto carry out the whole ; of the job and not just part of it. By doing this one will feel at the j end of her career that she has been j of service to the world and has de ] rived pleasure by so doing.” -1_ DRAB CHEMISTRY LAB INVADED BY ROMANCE ! At a prettily appointed party to j which 20 of her friends were guests, | Ruth Palmer Harvey announced her enf?agement to Chester Arthur Jones i Tuesday evening at the home of i Mrs. T. G. Youngs. Designs of par | rots in bright colors and flowers I harmonizing with the scheme of dec oration were used throughout the rooms. She was assisted by Eunice j Zimmerman, ’22. I Miss Harvey, who is employed by , the University Health Service, was | a student of the University for two rears, majoring in art and music' rnd a member of the class of ’26.; She is a graduate of the Deaconess Hospital Training School for Nurses j in Spokane and a member of the :hoir of the Methodist Episcopal church. Mr. Jones is a graduate of Penn college in Iowa, where he was prom-1 inent in athletics, and held a schol-1 arship at the University of Iowa, tvhere he took post graduate work, i He was an instructor in eheunistry | at Pacific college and accepted a position in the department of chem istry of the University of Oregon this year as graduate research as-( sistant to Professor Stafford. During the war he did ship and oversea duty in the U. S. Marine corps. He is a member of Alpha Chi Omega, national honorary chem istry fraternity and associate mem ber of the Oregon chapter of Sig ma Xi. The wedding will be an event of early summer. DEAN WALKER SPEAKS AT T0-K0-L0 MEETING At a luncheon yesterday noon, of active members, alumni, and pledges of To-Ko-Lo, men’s sopho more honorary society, Dean H. Walker, student advisor, spoke on various phases of student activity. In his talk, he emphasized the need of regulating University activities so that students would be engaged in only those things which would be of personal benefit. <s>— ■ - | Communications --- (Continued from page two) students, most of the student coun cil, and two or three members of the traditions committee are also doomed to splash in the cool waters of the fountain at the appropriate time.
