Sign Your Pledge Today! ^^FTEN, graduates complain of the lack of enthusiasm among Oregon students for any cause other than one directly af fecting their own welfare. “Why,” the graduate declares, “they won’t get ‘hopped up’ over anything. What kind of controversy have you had here since the famous R. 0. T. C. up rising to cause more than passing interest from the student body? Where is the old fire, the fire which would flame high and clear for the sake of a Cause?” And one must how his head and kick the wet ground with his toe, and admit that perhaps the graduate is right. To do so hurts one’s sense of pride. But last year there was a change. The graduate could not come back and point such an accusing finger. The Oregon student body felt the fire of a Cause, and, inspired, determined, elated, it marched, no, rushed, to victory. The students pledged more money than anyone thought they could pledge, they pledged $19,000 more than the goal set, $200,000. It was not lack of spirit and fire that had ailed the students, it was lack of a cause. The student body has been different since that event. Re member the football season—that Washington game; remember the basketball battles—that wonderful come-back; look at the many minor signs of fire and pep and spirit—the freshman president controversy, the dramatic criticism scrap, campus smoking, poetry panning—more numerous and more heated than for many a year. It signifies something. Yes, it has a cause. And for three days it will be THE CAUSE. All interest, all energy, all students will take up the Student Union banners again for a triumphant rush. What about the quota? Will it be reached? Yes! The student body of Oregon did not lack fire, it only lacked a worthy cause. Now it has one. See what it did for the Cause last year. And it will again this year! Sign the pledge today! SATIRICAL ENTERTAINMENT OFFERED IN “MISS LULU BETT” Fine Work Done by Actors; Play Presents Revolution of Sensibilities Against Crossness By Leon Byrne Is your makeup overflowing with spleen whieh must find an outlet? If so, go to the Guild hall production of "Miss Lulu Bett” tonight and you can hate to your spleen’s content—you can hate and hate and hate, and when the play ia over you can feel the righteous pride of one who is above the ban alities and meanness depicted in this unusual comedy; katharsis complete. “Miss Lulu Bett” symbolizes the Inquisition of the Babbitts—the Reign of the Bourgeoise. Gordon Wilson, as Dwight Deacon, repre sents all the smugness, the piggish egotism, the small-eyed, low fore headed commercialism which cer tain authors, Sinclair Lewis among them, attribute to the middle class merchants of this business-like age. The part of Dwight Deacon is a satire, as are most of the parts in this comedy by Zona Gale, and the satire is damning. Incidentally, it provides very excellent entertain ment,-—if you like satire. “Miss Lulu Bett” represents a I revolution—the revolution of fine i sensibilities against grossness and | intolerance. The entire cast of the | production, with one or two excep tions, does the best work of their somewhat limited careers. The current offering more than makes amends for any former lapses. Helen Park, in the title role, is excellent. Only in one or two places does she become a trifle too dram- 1 atic. Nothing more could be asked of Dwight Deacon, Gordon ilson, the man who could smoth er a whole family and never know he was doing it. He is ludicrous, uncultured pig. Florence Couch, as Monona, the “brat” of the family, is such a perfect brat that one is not irritated bv her precocity—tone is too busy wondering how she "got that way.” To the writer, Beatrice Beebe, in the part of Mother Bett, the quer ulous old grandmother, does the best work of the play. She is amus ing and valid, and her work is finely restrained for an amateur. "Miss Lulu Bett” will be played tonight and tomorrow night. If yon are above the common herd, go and smile at those who struggle be neath you; if you are a bourgeoise, go and, after seeing, sin no more. If you are one of us people, go and see a darn good show. Campus Bulletin Notices will be printed in this column for two issues only.

STRANGE ANIMALS HARBORED IN MINIATURE ZOO ON CAMPUS Over between the men's gymnas ium and the infirmary is a low, white, many-windowed building, outwardly quite uninteresting, but housing many unusual and strange beings. The University zoology research department is far more in teresting than it sounds. Once inside its locked doors you are confronted by a chorus of duck ings, squeakings, squealings, peep ings and quackings, all proclaim ing in one voice, but in many dif ferent keys, the joy of being well fed, well-housed and of some use to the University. This song of praise comes daily from the group of animals used by the department of zoology for experimental pur poses, and they are as well-cared for a bunch of beasties as one could find. There are. bevies of rats and mice, but they are decidedly /different from the ordinary “varmit” in that they are snowy white with eyes of dainty pink. These range in size from the bewhiskored grandfathers, who enjoy showing off their “fight” by gnawing pencil-points and finger-tips, to the youngsters, j minute in proportion and playful as kittens. There are hosts of newly-hatched chickens, who deemed it fashion able to celebrate the Easter season by breaking shell, and who resem ble fluffy powder-puffs of various shades. There are also some mallards, new. very new, with tiny scrawny bodies and alarmingly large bills and feet. Like airdale puppies and some freshman boys on the campus, they will grow into their extremi ties. Behind the building there is a yard full of hens of various breeds and lineage, which could talk down any gossip in the University, and also several gaily plumed and ruf fled roosters, who should rate the Library steps for cockiness. Though Sundays are inclined to be dull days ort the campus, enter tainment should not be lacking with this miniature menagerie close at hand. Why not get together a group of friends and spend an otherwise slow afternoon taking in the wonders of this part of the campus as you used to spend a day at the zoo? HERMIAN CLUB ELECTS NINE NEW MEMBERS Nine new members were elected to Hermian club, honorary physi cal education society, at a social party given for all physical educa tion majors, Tuesday evening, in the women’s gymnasium. Upper class majors, including third term sophomores, who make good grades and are good sportsmen in all things are eligible to this organi zation. Those elected were Mae Mordoff, Dorothy Evans, Ruth McGregor, Regina Davault, Beatrice Tidd, Margaret Papoon, Myrtle Mast Viona Pyritz, and Gertrude Tuck er. Formal pledging will be held at Hermie Inn, on the Willamette river highway, Sunday. During the evening Miss Lillian Stupp’s freshmen folk daneing class gave several interesting folk dances. C D. THORPE RECEIVES DEGREE AT MICHIGAN Professor C. D. Thorpe, associate I professor of English, who has been \ spending a year’s leave of absence at the University of Michigan, re cently passed the final examination for his degree of doctor of philoso phy. Professor Thorpe has just finish ed a book on “The Mind of Keats,” which will be published by the Ox ford University Press. There are comparatively few books published by this press each year, and it is j considered an honor to have a book chosen by it for publication. When Professor Thorpe returns to the campus, he will give several new courses. Among them will be the development of English prose style, seminar in written English, and a course in the field of poetics.

I BERT KERNS, ’27, ILL IN ASTORIA HOSPITAL Bert Kerns, ’27, who has been woring on a logging road at Clif ton, Oregon, underwent an opera tion yesterday at the Astoria hos pital, to remove a piece of steel which had pierced his leg to the bone. In a letteo- written before his operation, he said that a six or eight inch cut would be neces sary to remove the steel. Kerns is a varsity letterman, hav ing played tackle on the team last fall.

Seattle, Wash, or Local Agent RAINSTORMS HINDER CAMPUS GARDENING April showers are interfering ser ously with gardening on the eam jus. It is impossible to do anything n the way of cultivating flowers ind shrubs, and none of the regular ipring planting can go forward intil the weather is settled. Recent heavy storms have caused the campus to become littered with cones, needles and branches from the trees, making it very hard to keep the grounds free from rubbish. However, the rain has at least done one good turn, for the grass is growiftg unusually fast, so fast that the mowers can scarcely keep it cut. Ihe wetness of the ground adds to the difficulties of mowing the lawns, and H. M. Fisher, superin tendent of grounds, expeets that an other man will be needed to assist in keeping the grass cut, as there is more than two regular workers can do. PATRONIZE EMERALD ADVERTISERS 45 Umbrellas Now Awaiting Claimants At University Depot April showers make us realize we still need an umbrella occa sionally, and, besides, there’s next winter not so far off. May be your umbrella is one of the 45 now resting in safety at the University depot. If so, get it now while you need it. There have been 284 articles turned in at the Lost and Found department since the first of January, and 110 of these are still hunting an owner. Among them are a number of curious and unusual objects, which rightly belong in an art collection, such as queer, antique fobs, ancient scarfs, prehistoric hats, and a comb of a most strik ing design, with a jewel-studded garter on it. All students should inquire for their missing property before someone conceives the idea of starting a new art collection on ; the campus. Where food ferments Cross-section o/ a tooth, showing Acid Decay at The Danger Line. FOOD collects in those tiny V-shaped crevices formed by the joining of the teeth and gums—The Danger Line. This food ferments. Acids form. Acid Decay of the teeth results. The gums, too, become irritated and sore. Squibb’s Dental Cream, made with Squibb’s Milk of Magnesia, safely neutralizes these acids. It protects the teeth from Acid Decay at The Danger Line and elsewhere. It keeps the teeth clean, attractive and sound. It soothes the gums. Use it —morning, noon and night.
