GRAPHIC ARTS SOCIETY IS FORMED ON CAMPUS Named for John Henry Nash Famous Printer A society to recognize and pro mote appreciation of printing and allied graphic arts has been formed at the University of Oregon by a group of students who not only are interested in this work, but who are actually participating in it. The organization of the society was inspired by a recent visit of John Henry Nash, printer of San Francisco, and the club has been named the John Henry Nash Graph ic Arts society in his honor. While here Mr. Nash exhibited many of his rare old books, and specimens of his fine printing. Mr. Nash became interested in the work of several students who were making etchings, woodcuts, and linoleum blocks, and consider able time was spent with these young artists. Other students in terested in books also joined the discussions. H. A. Kirk has been chosen first president of the society. Bichard Carruthers, whose work on plate and wood is already winning him recognition, is vice-president, and James Leake, who recently com piled a specimen book of hundreds of examples of printing, is secre tary. Other members are Wayne Leland, student ^of art?, Uric W. Allen, dean of the school of jour nalism, and Bobert C. Hall, super intendent of the University press. The society plans to purchase its own etching press, and to furnish a studio completoly equipped for graphic art work. An important task will be the collection and clas sification of all rare books on the University campus. An exhibition of work done by the members, and of important books, will be held in the school of journalism library the latter part of next month, it is announced. Plans are already being made to extend chapters of the organiza tion to other universities where printing and allied subjects are available for students. The soci ety is cnthusihstically supported on the Oregon campus, and it is ex pected that the organization will soon spread to other places. MILITARY DEPARTMENT INSPECTED BY OFFICES As n result of the reeont inspec tion by Major H. L. Jordan, officer in charge of R. O ,T. 0. affairs for the Ninth corps area, the Univer sity of Oregon unit will bo recom mended for inspection for distin guished rating award next year, ac cording to Lieutenant Colonel W. S. Sinclair, commander of the local unit. “Major Jordan was pleased with the showing made by the men of this unit, as evidenced by their at tention in both drill and class work, and our unit will be recommended by him to the army inspection board from Washington, IX C.,” said Colonel Sinclair. Each year the inspection board makes a tour of the corps areas of the country, inspecting the B. O. T. C. at each of the various in stitutions which have been recom mended for inspection by the offi cer in charge of R. O. T. C. affairs for the area. Three institutions from each area are then recom mended to the Washington head quarters, as meritorious of the dis tinguished rating award for profic iency in this work. Prior to this year the military units of the Universities of Cali- j fornia and Washington, Oregon Ag ricultural college, have consistently received distinguished rating. This fact, states Colonel Sinclair, is largely attributable to the greater number of men eligible for military training at those institutions, and to the fact that they receive federal aid for military work, given to laud grant institutions under the terms of the Morrill Act of 1862. The result of the board’s inspection of the Ninth corps area have not been announced for this year as yet. SWIMMING LETTERS ; WON BY TOUR MEN Aquatic Sport Enjoys Great Gain in Popularity Four men were successful in win ning letters in swimming this year. The men making the required num ber of points were: Captain Bob McCabe, Wauna, 7 1-4 points; Ben Lombard, Portland, 17 1-4 points; Art Erickson, San Diego, 10 points; and A1 Sinclair, Eugene, 8 points. Robert Boggs, Portland, a member of the swimming team, made 6 points in one meet and a total of 22 for all the meets he took part in, but did not make enough points in the meet which counted for let ters. Only the two meets with O. A. C. are counted for letters. Boggs, because of a residence rule, was in eligible for varsity competition in the first O. A. C. meet. The varsity aquatic team took part in five meets this year. The first, with Multnomah Athletic club on January 24, resulted in a 33-33 tie, but the second meet was_ won by the clubmen on February' 14, by a 42-25 victory. The first O. A. C. meet held hero was won by the Aggies by a scant margin of 36-32. The second meet at Corval lis resulted in a 39-29 for the O. A. C. natators. The Oregon swim mers also took part in a state meet held at Corvallis, and scored 16 points, taking third place. Looking over the past record of this year’s swimming team, it can readily be seen that this aquatic sport is becoming more and more of interest to the students of the Uni versity. Swtimming was inaugur ated in the school only two years ago, that is, it was at this time [that the student body started giv ing letters for it, recognizing it as a minor sport. The first year none of the men were successful in making enough points to be awarded letters. Last year only two men, George Hors fall and Lyle Palmer succeeded in winning letters. Letters and sweaters awarded will be received by the men within the next two weeks. WOMEN TO COMMENCE PRACTICE FOR TRACK With Field Dny scheduled for June 0, preparations are under way for trnek events. Class managers ! are as follows: Senior, Beatrice j Amundson; junior, Regina Devault; sophomore, Virginia Dray; fresh I man, Nellie Johns. So far, the | turnout for this sport has not been as whole-hearted nor as extensive as was expected. The freshmen girls have more recruits to their credit than any of the other classes, [while the juniors have displayed the OREGON Pillows (Leather and Felt) Pennants (All Sizes) Banners Oregon Seal Jewelry Anyone of these articles will endear the Memory of Oregon.

Communications | Letters t« the EMERALD from stu dents and faculty members are welcomed, but must be signed and worded concisely. If it is desired, the writer’s name will be kept out of print. It must be understood that the editor reserves the right to reject communications. “THE GIFT WITHOUT THE GIVEK” To the Editor: Since the very essence of the five million campaign, of which the Student Union drive is an integral part, is one of voluntary giving, it seems to me that to force a “gift” from a student who is un able to give, would be destruction of the very spirit of the campaign. Granted that there are some few students who do not appreciate the importance of the Student Union, and even though they have the money, or can earn it, will not sub scribe,—there are also those, who are not suited, because of ill health to earn their own way through col lege and whose parents are literally “stretching every penny” to cover the necessary needs of a college education. When such a student finishes college he may be able to earn his own living and should vol untarily send in his $100. But again—he may have to fall back on his family fo^ support. Five dollars a term seems a small amount to him who has it, but it may mean the difference between carrying on, or withdrawing from school for him who has not. L. W. T. IS THERE REALLY A CLASSROOM SORORITY? Editor of the Emerald: Dear sir: The advocates of the plan for Saturday classes can hardly be seri ous when they give as a reason for them the scarcity of class rooms. It is granted that there are very few classrooms available in the morn ing but in the afternoon there are twelve rooms available at one o’clock, nine at two o’clock and at 'two and three, full rooms are harder to find than empty ones. This condition indicates that there is the alternative of afternoon classes or Saturday classes. If it be true that the reason why the change is desired is because of the scarcity of class rooms it will be necessary to explain why the after noon hours are not filled. TOM GRAHAM. FOUR INTERESTED STUDENTS ' PROTEST PROPOSED RULING The Editor: Considerable attention and dis cussion is being aroused on the cam pus as to the feasibility of Satur day classes. In as far as it will provide the means to take care of the so-called “crowded conditions” the faculty may find a point in it’s favor. The average student, however, looks at the situation at a differ ent angle. How will he be bene fited? Oregon has boasted of the large number of self supporting students that attend the Univer sity, but how can these students maintain their outside work when forced to attend Saturday classes? Students who carry activities find that Saturday is the only day that they can complete their term prob lems and prepare their work for the comingi week. It will seriously interfere with our athletes and athletic contests. Men will not be able to put in their Saturday “workouts,” and attend ance at games will be seriously ham pered. Then the worthy instructor must have ample time to prepare his lectures for the following w^ek, and surely he will not care to do this worls on Sunday, it being the only day left in the week for his rec reation.

To the Editor: I am writing on behalf of the Kincaid fieldo early-morning ball players. 0 Wouldn’t it be possible to give them an official rooting section?— we would feel lots better about it if we could work off our—er—emo tion in yelling instead of mutter ing vindictive threats as we toss angrily from one side of the Bed to the other. , Perhaps the band would play too, and I am sure the fire service would be delighted to lend its sirens.
