^^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.

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

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.

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.

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.

FOOD collects in

teeth and gums—The
Danger Line. This

form. Acid Decay of
the teeth results. The gums, too,
become irritated and sore.
Squibb’s Dental Cream, made with

neutralizes these acids. It protects
the teeth from Acid Decay at The
