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.

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.

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.

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.”
