According to the pedagogical barom eter these days, climate might be considered that thing which we haven’t “anything else but.” Except that professors speak better English than that. They are human, too, for the most part even when having grave suspicions that certain mem bers of their classes are canoeing gleefully up the Mill Race or floating blissfully down it. But putting the climate on a basis of scientific investigation has been the real problem faced by the University of Oregon geology department. Praise is accorded to our geologists in an editorial in The Sunday Oregonian for April 26, entitled “Cli mate an Oregon Asset.” And the climate, quite aside from mere “weather” comes in for its share of praise. We quote: “The Oregonian has had occasion heretofore to comment on the findings of various noteworthy scientists as to the relation of climate to the progress of civilization, being moved thereto by their singular unanimity of opinion that the most favorable combination of conditions in the world are in all probability to be found in the Pacific northwest. This view is fortified by a scholarly review of the entire question in the current issue of the Commonwealth Review of the University of Oregon, the conclusion of which is particularly worth emphasis. ‘And last,’ the authors say, after summarizing the climatic aspects of life in the state as a whole, ‘we should stop apologizing for our cli mate, particularly our rain. In western Oregon it is our great est asset.’ ” The Oregonian further points out the value of determining the influence of climate on racial characteristics, “which in turn may in the long run be profoundly affected by material prosperity.” The University as a whole feels pride in her department which is engaged in original research “in the field.” A collection of paintings by artists of the Pacific North west will be exhibited in the gallery in the Arts building next week. It is being sent out by the Seattle Fine Arts society, being the tenth annual one of its kind. Not only will it have an interest to art lovers, but a local interest as well. There has always been considerable scenery in Oregon, and now we will be able to know who can paint it. Professor Hugh E. Rosson, of the English department, de clared that talking over a radio is much like speaking over a telephone line where many subscribers are connected to one central phone. Even so. But still, he may be glad that it isn’t like the country lines where everyone is not only determined to listen, but to talk. As for improving radio to that extent— may heaven forbid! The .(union Prom—how is it there are so many clever juniors? At least that is what everyone will ask when the much anticipated occasion really “occasions.” Arthur Gale, the decorations chairman is living among color notes these days —“rich tan, now, and deep blue.” And what kind of halberds did they take to the Fourth Crusude? Norman F. Coleman, president of Reed college, and for a long time a leading spirit in the Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen, had a real message for the student body in the} Thursday assembly. Mr. Coleman emphasized the principles of democracy—the discussion and understanding which are not only the need of the majority but the protection for the minor-1 ity, which are the round table at which employer and employe can meet. President Coleman knows from his wide experience that pedagogy, too. must rest on the broad principles of humanity. Js it not incredible to believe that May Day is past without allowing the freshmen to entertain us with a Mav-pole dance! Next week-end is Mothers’ and Fathers’ week-end on the campus. Have you written that letter home, yet! Campus Bulletin Notices will be printed in this column (or two issues only. Copy must be in this office by 6:80 on the day before it is to be published, sr ' must be limited to 20 words. Heart O. K.’s of hockey players must be in immediately. Those ■obtained for basketball or swim ming will be received. Important Freshman Commission meeting today at 5:00 in the Bungalow. All members urged to be present. Thespians—Meeting today at 12:45 o’clock in Journalism building. Attendance imperative. Colegium Augustale —Meeting Tues day at 1:30 p. m. at Y. W. Bun galow.

It must be understood that the editor reserves the right to reject communications. WALTER EVANS KIDD USES SOME BIO WORDS My Dear Editor: After profound cogitation over the intrinsic essence of Martha Hennley’s epistle in last Sat urday’s Emerald I deduce that her paltry computation of colleg ians in criterions of metaphysical irony and chaste ostentation ap pears impregnanted with fallacious eruc.ration. Miss Hennley should apprehend that the ambiguous mediocrity and idiosyncraticaii pro crastination of each campus entity idemnify themselves by actuating the perpetuity of Oregon tradition alism that takes no cognizance of acquiescence»to transcendental com plaisance. Religion should con trive scientific amalgamations to ameliorate our materialistic pro pinquity without plagiarizing our intellectual fluctuations and ster eotyping our prerersive superfluity of emotional flamboyance. We com prehend that our inarticulate and resonant hilarity adumbrates a salt ant caricature. Miss Hennley, please do not revile our adoles cence—vituperative, contumelious and capricious it may seem—for maturity will soon disillusion us. Sincerely, WALTER EVANS KIDD. YES, THIS IS THE FISHING SEASON! Dear Editor: A “tearful and devout” corres pondent in Saturday’s Emerald voted in favor of the “darling” Saturday class movement on the ground that it would Jessen the manifestation of Jazzmania among the students. And credit for this social reform is given “the teach ers"—bless their heavy, jazzless feet and Godly hearts!!! The spirit of plain country bumpkinism is so apparent in this and the former scripts by the same author that many of us are turning Missour ian. We think we scent the odour ; of fish in the air but, this being the fishing season, perhaps that is I a natural default. Mr. Edtor, please j oblige the reading public with an I early introduction to the lady! RUTH BENSON. - CAMPUS FORD RACE BANNED BY FACULTY Budding careers as knights of the roaring road were abruptly clipped when the faculty opposed the “campus wreck” races last Saturday afternoon. With the half-mile county fair grounds track worked into condi tion and the cars tuned up to their highest speed, the student drivers found themselves liable to disci plinary action of the faculty if ; they participated in the race. Because of the type of track, the j quality of the cars, and the inex- | perience of the drivers. Dean H. j Walker, student advisor, regarded the affair equally hazardous as i that of shooting the rapids in the \ river.

This fact has been proved in the last two games with the varsity as the sqnad seems to have found their batting eye. The batterymen have been given a chance to workout the past week and with the hot weather, are fast rounding into form. Pitchers show ing up good are: Bill Baker, Alfred Pries, George Majovski and Bill Bamber. The men doing the best work behind the windpad are John Caughell and Bob Hemmings. The infield is still a big problem as it is a toss up between Fred Zeebuyth and Hugh Wallace at first. Two men, William Mathison and Clif ford Kuhn, are fighting it out for second. Hanley at short and Mc Allister at third, have apparently cinched their positions. Accord ing to the coach, the surplus of in fielders may be shifted to the outer gardens. Several games were played with the local high schools last week but a more strenuous Vcrkout will be in order this week. One of the squads under the direction of Arleigh Bead, who has been acting as assistant to Sorsby, has been playing good ball against Univer sity high in several practice games. Bead has been having good suc cess with his men. The final schedule of the Frosh Book games are as follows: May 16, at Corvallis; May 22, 2:36 p. m., here; May 23, 10 a. m., here; and May 29, at Corvallis. A game will also be played with Salem high school, here, Friday, May 8. Other games are also being scheduled with some of the strongest high schools in the state, and with sev eral of the smaller colleges. MEETING TO BE IN CHARGE OF NATIONAL Y. W.
