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. A. C. Barometer.

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

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

street. 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

program. The meeting is to start

a good time is assured all who at

ANNE DEAK:
Probably you knoiv that the
Women’s League Is busy enter
taining the delegates from other
colleges; so we girls must look
our best. 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.
