Dalrymple Assistant Entered as second class matter at the post office at Eugene, Oregon, under act of Congress of March 3, 1879. Welcome home to Oregon, When maple tassels swing to every breeze And April carols sound from leafing trees; When silken April air floats soft and still, And cherry blossoms whiten all the hill. Welcome home to Oregon, To hearts that cherish deeply, tenderly Each word and look of thine in memory, And long in thy restoring to rejoice, And long to hear again thy heartening voice. |^JAY 9 and 10 have been set aside on the student body cal endar as days for entertaining Mother—and Father! Father, indeed, is to come into his own. For Mothers’ week-end on the campus was clanged this year to Mothers’ and Fathers’ week-end. An A. S. U. 0. committee is preparing the program, which, will include the Junior Yodvil on Saturday, and vesper service on Sunday. Truly, it will be a gala occasion. The fact that Father, as well as Mother, is to share in the event makes one think that while the times may be out of joint, at least they are less out of joint than they used to be. The younger generation is not altogether what eminent (and other wise) patheologists and psycho-analists would lead us to think. The younger generation knows pretty well what a struggle is often being made at home all for the benefit of a son or daugh ter. And the younger generation, moreover, in most cases ap preciates the love and unselfishness which has made the road to higher education possible. In some cases Father and Mother came to the University of Oregon many years ago. They will enjoy seeing the mush room growth in new buildings. They will take a keen delight in watching the young people canoeing where they once en joyed their “boating parties.” There will be reminiscences. And in eases where Father and Mother did not go to college, there will be the pleasant sense of knowing at last just what sort of place they have sent Son or Daughter to. And won’t Father enjoy the Yodvil! PPROX1MATELY 100 women delegates from 43 colleges and universities of the nation west of the Appalachian mountains are convening this week-end on Oregon soil for the annual convention of the Women’s League. The University of Oregon will be the host to these visitors during their three day visit in the state. In a short while the student body presidents of 25 Pacific coast institutions will meet for their annual conference at Stan ford university. The officers who will be the delegates to these conventions have been elected as officers on this campus be cause of their ability, and just as capably they will represent the college at these conventions. In modern times the tendency seems to favor conventions, conclaves, and gatherings of every sort. It is true that, in some societies and organizations, tin* dirth of these meetings comes to naught in the way of promoting the interests of the organiza tion. But under present day conditions an organization that has something in common with another in some other district or state lias everything to gain and nothing to lose by the inter change of ideas through the medium of personal conference. Student conventions tend to equalize the modes and methods of living and organization in all the institutions represented, and just as standardization in business enterprise is essential, so is standardization in academic work necessary. The repre sentative to the convention in Eugene this week-end will make available for the women on the campus the best suggestions and ideas regarding the organization of women in the colleges and univtyjities of the nation.—0.

COLONEL MAKES ANSWER TO OUR DEAN’S REPLY To the Editor of the Emerald: Dear sir: Although constitutionally averse to entering into any controversial discussions, I cannot refrain from some acrimonious animadversions on Dean Straub’s fierce attack on the battlements of my virtue. In the. first place, I wasn’t in jail at all that flight. I have a per fect alibi, having been in charge of a vessel carrying certain freight to a South American port, which for perfectly innocent reasons had been marking time for two or three weeks a few miles off San Fran cisco. Tn the second place, the Dean talks about a sweet female voice answering him over the phone from my shack. I heard the conversa tion, and all she said was “No, Dean Straub, I am so sorry, but I have no vacant dates this week.” I have no desire to impinge upon the story of the Dean’s gallivant ings in Vancouver. All I can say is, that he was walking up Gran ville street absolutely embowered in a kind of bouquet of our “Reign ing Toasts,” they were running around him, all decked up like prize rabbits, and looking up in his face and smiling and wagging their tails—so to speak. The second day of his visit the nicer ones were all diving down manholes at his ap proach. I admit that the Dean cut me out —despite my ardent and somewhat public wooings—with our co-eds, but I ask you Mr. Editor, is it conductive to the amity of nations, that he should carry the war into this country as well? I may add, that since the Dean’s return to his own country, the im migration authorities have been disturbed at the enormous number of the girls here, who have applied to emigrate to Oregon. Oiven under our seal, from our hiding place, in the fourth year of our Exile, and in the spring of Our discontent. JOHN LEADER, MORE SMOKE CURLS UP FROM K. A. P.’S PIPE To the Editor: The heavy hand of the Inquisi tion has at last reached out and blacklisted me. along with the most prominent members of the Order of the “O”, the Traditions committee, the Student Council and all of the art department. By the order of the Duke we will be submitted to the tortures of the water treatment. Why do you blacklist the most noble knights of your realm, most noble Duke? Don’t you realize that the Order of the ‘-0” has long since abandoned the cave-man methods of clubbing every one who chooses to think differently from the accepted rule? Methinks, mi lord, ’twould be better' that you desist from ’rousing their manlv passions. lest they turn on you with your suggestions and souse you ’neath the rippling waters. I realize that your reasons are likely sound, from your viewpoint, for T recall your excellent mental aptitude when you and I suffered under the same Money and Bank ing course a number of years ago —and by the way, old boy, does my memory play me false or isn’t it a fact that in those days you were known as Nick Carter? As T look back on the records I see that you were Nick Carter. Ahem. . .Nick —Duke—quite a chance for such a campus celebrity who believes that the old is the best and that one should not change with the times. You are inconsistent, Niels, (or Duke, inconsistent, just like all your friends who attempt to estab lish traditions by legislation. You admit that it is foolish to turn our ^COMING EVENTsI 3>-<$> Friday, April 17 8:30-11:00 a. m.—-Morning ses sion, Women’s League conven tion, Woman’s building. 11:00 a. m.—Assembly, Dr. Aurelia Henry BeinhaTdt, Wo man’s building. 1:30-3:30 p. m. — Afternoon session, Women’s League con vention, Woman’s building. 8:00 p. m.—“Crimson Eye brows,” School of Music audi torium.

Q- .— — - — -Q traditions to a committee; yet why can’t you see that as soon as chang ing customs and habits force us to break then said traditions are im mediately ruled out! If we must force the majority to recognize cus toms we are at once changing them to a penal law. You non-smokers may not easily see all the apparent reasons why the change is desired. Yet you can see some weight in this fact: on every side individuals and depart ments are smoking on the campu^ They find that the old custom is awkward and cramping. Yet, ex cept for the art students, no objec tion has been raised. One of the department heads, who allows smok ing in his shop, is reported to have said that the custom will continue as long as he is around, and I have no doubt it will. Now if it is im possible for us to easily and pleas antly enforce the rule 100 per cent strong, it is high time that the rule be done away with. And do you mean to say that you sanction our Thirteenth street pool hall? It seems to me that a man of your taste and refinement would rather see your brother students smoking on the walks under the trees than in the gutter. And I think you actually would. K. A. P. TRADITION COMMITTEE LIKENED TO OSTRICH To the Editor: After all, the conflagration seems to simmer down to this: “to smoke or not to smoke—what is the an swer?” To quibble over whether a man shall smoke in the gutter along Thirteenth street or up on the curb is like the fellow who “won’t tell a lie, but will evade to beat the Dickens.” The traditions committee is mere ly sticking its head in the sand like an ostrich and won’t admit that the tradition has been non functioning since the smokers be gan to gather in the middle of the L At the Theatres I --- IIEILIG—Friday and Satur day, Fred Thompson in his dashing, “That Devil Que mado;” Next week, “The Snob,” and “The Great Di vide,” an American epic that rates with the best films of the year.

There is just as much con nection between the library and the administration building as there is between Villard and Mc Clure halls when it comes to being the campus. What’s the differ ence ? A tradition is a voluntary thing. When it stops being that it takes on the color of pne of these “thou shalt nots” and just begs someone to tip it over. Not being a man, I am not very personally interested except that I am not one of these persons who can’t endure to see someone else enjoy himself—>and I can’t dis tinguish between the campus being smoked up all over and its having a smoke ring all around the edge. If the committee is going to be sentimental about this thing, why not be arbitrary and forbid smok ing by any man registered in the University, since the issue is being forced? It really comes to that. In order to be consistent, all smoking should be banned or all the ban should be lifted. McK. R1T.C, TO EMPLOY NEW GRADING SYSTEM Cadets Will Be Rated On Interest Shown A new system of grading will prevail in the B. O. T. C. depart ment during the current term, ac cording to Captain Frank L. Culin, executive officer of the depart ment, who devised the plan. “Formerly,” said Captain Culin, “the grades, especially those of freshmen cadets, were based large ly on individual examinations which were given at the end of each term. These examinations were necessar ily of a practical nature, designed to demonstrate each cadet’s profic iency in the various exercises and drills.” Such a system of examination has been found imperfect in several ways. First, with only three days of drill each week a freshman ca det was not capable of passing a creditable examination at the end of the term. Secondly, the time required to give individual exams was prohibitive, requiring practi cally all of the last week, which should have been devoted to regu lar drill. The new system will be based primarily on the attendance record, and the interest shown, by each ca det, as well as the instructor’s knowledge of a man’s worth. The aim is to put every man on an equal basis as to grading. The following system will govern in the calculation of grades for freshmen and sophomores for drill: a. Points to be deducted for de linquencies: Each made-up absence, 3; each late, 2; each excused ab sence, 1. b. Scale for applying delinquency points: Max. Min. No deductions .I II 1 to 5 deductions .I III 6 to 10 deductions .Ill IV 11 or more deductions ....rV failed c. Unexplained absences not made up before the end of each term will be cause for an incom plete. Hours to make up such' in completes will conform to the fol lowing scale: 1 absence, 5 hours; 2 absences, 8 hours; 3 absences, 10 hours. FILIPINOS WILL BE HOSTS TO COSMOPOLITAN CLUB Members of the Varsity Phillip pinensis are to be hosts to the Cos mopolitan club tonight at Filipino night. Dr. Warren D. Smith is to be the speaker of the evening. The program will include singing, and music on stringed instruments. Be freshments will be served after the program. The meeting is to start at 8:00 o’clock in the Y. W. bun galow. Visitors are welcome, and a good time is assured all who at tend.

That, of course, means a visit to the beauty shops. * » * First, Peg and I went to the Co-ed Barber Shop, which is just across the street from the cam pus, where we had one of the latest in shingle bobs. By means of the electric clipper, they shingle one’s hair to. a feather like edge. All of the girls from the house patronize this shop. • »■ • From there we went down to the Hasting Sisters Beauty Shop where we indulged in a hot oil shaimpoo, which is excellent for the scalp. Our hair is so soft and glossy, and at the same time fluffy enough to be pretty. Peg’s ~ hair, which is naturally fluffy, looks doubly attractive. From pow on, we plan to have a hot oil shampoo regularly. I' love new shops! ..Wether bee - Densmore just recently open ed and they have a whole shop full of new things. A sweaters is the Betty Lee. It comes in every conceivable spring shades and many different com binations. The Betty Lee has short peek-a-boo sleeves, and the collar may be fastened up or worn open. It’s a very dainty and charming bit of finery to add to the spring wardrobe—and the price is from $2.50 up! iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiuiitiiiitQiiiiiiiiiitm The pledges have been assign ed to fix the porch boxes. I rather envy them their work, for I love to care for plants, especi ally lovely flowering ones. They got gorgeous, large pansies in various shades at Raup’s Floral Shop to use for the boxes. In addition, they bought lovely ge raniums with unusually large red and pink blossoms, which will be just the right size to give the de sired height to the boxes. Won’t our porch be dressed up? * * # We are going to have a most tempting dish for lunch today— creamed asparagus on toast. The | asparagus, which is received j fresh, was bought at Underwood i and Elliot’s Grocery. The cream ! ed sauce will be as delicious as ; the asparagus;. for the cook is j making it with Creme-o^Blend, an entirely new malt product on the market, which was also pur chased at Underwood and El liott’s. We had this same dish once before, and all liked it so well that the cook is going to serve it often. Indian orange! and it’s just as colorful as it sounds. It’s one of the very newest and gayest spring shade. The Style Shop is showing a lovely hat of proxolin braid in this color. The shape is the new wide brim and it is trimmed with harmonizing crepe with just one dashing velvet rose on the side. A lovely shaded crepe scarf, varying from -yellow to deep orange completes the chic ensemble. These proxolin braid hats come in all the spring shades. Bill and I went for a tramp over the hills the other day and brought home a bouquet of wild blossoms, lovely things but when I got there the only bowl our room boasts was in use and I had nothing to put the lovely flowers in. When I was down town I dropped into Skeie’s and found that they have a dollar sale on of bowls and vases. I bought a pretty amber glass basket which is charming filled with buttercups. Your last letter hinted at many things. Won't you tell me more about your latest conquest. I’m all euriosity.
