Day Editor This Issue Gertrude Houk Assistant .Betty Cady Night Editor This Issue Claude Eeavis Assistant .Lewis Eeavis Entered aa second class matter at the post office at Eugene, Oregon, under act of Congress of March 3, 1879. The Students Are Concerned ‘HE PROPOSED Saturday class plan failed to be voted on at the faculty meeting yesterday afternoon and was re ferred back to the Schedule Committee for a more definite work ing out of details. In the original the motion was very general, and many different interpretations could be made from it with a consequent reduction in the possibility of ascertaining before^ hand just how the scheme would work out in practice. To re fuse to vote on the plan was justifiable for cause. To vote on any question which is worded is such general terms that the results of its adoption cannot be prophesied accurately would be an error in any body and show little judgment. It is understood that in referring the question back the Schedule Committee w,as instructed to work out a plan for the six-day class week that could be made compulsory—that is, the faculty members would have to accept assignment to certain days and hours for their classes on an arbitrary basis. There arc faculty members who do not regard classes on Saturdays as advisable any more than do most of the students. In the proposed revision these professors would have to accept the teaching of classes on Saturday if the schedule develops the many conflicts which seem unavoidable. If faculty mem bers would have to submit to assignment of teachings on Satur days when they do not wish to, how will the student fare? No better, certainly, lie will have to either accept university life on a six-day basis, or choose his course according to the days the subjects are given instead of basing his selection upon de sire for a particular subject or professor. Since free choice of subjects in undergraduate work is con siderably frustrated by group requirements and other restric tions, the student who could manipulate his schedule each term for four years so that no required subject fell on Saturday would not need to go further in equipping himself for a liveli hood. lie could set himself up in business right on the campus and earn a considerable income juggling bewildered students’ courses in similar fashion. The fallacy in this flight of imagin ation, of course, lies in the supposition that anyone could work out his course and avoid the undesirable conflicts mentioned. The detailed report will be submitted at the next meeting of the faculty or at some special meeting which may be called. Any change of this sort, bound to affect campus life vitally if adopted, should be referred to the students in its final form before it is acted upon. The Emerald suggests that the final draft be printed in its columns some little time before it comes before the faculty for consideration, so that the campus reac tion may be determined through the medium of communications or other expressions of opinion. Every day communications are turned in without names being signed. The Editor must know who the author of a let ter is, although the name need not necessarily be printed if it is not desired. Sign your name. FRENCH CLUB TO CONTINUE READING OF MOLIERE FLAY Le Foyer Francois will hold a meeting tonight at 7:30, at the Y. IV. bungalow.

Colonel Sinclair Invites; Civic Organizations CEREMONY INSTRUCTIVE Parade to Take Place South Of Barracks at 5:15 A large attendance is expected to witness the third of the series of weekly battalion parades being put on by the University It. O. T. C. unit, which will be held on the drill ground immediately south of the barracks, at 5:15 this after noon. A communication has been sent ! by Lieutenant Colonel W. S. Sin- j clair, commander of the It. O. T. C. I unit, to the Chamber of Commerce,; Lion’s club, Kiwanis club, and the Rotary club, leading civic organi- l zatious of Eugene, extending an in- \ vitation to the townspeople to at tend the weekly drills. Letter Quoted Colonel Sinclair’s communica- ! |tion, is, in part, ns follows: “Tile army officers in charge of j the military work at the University of Oregon desire to extend an in vitation to the business men of Eu Igene and their families to attend. • so that they may get some idea of 'the progress being made by the University students, whose military ■work constitutes a definite and im portant phase of the general scheme of National defense.” i Battalion drills have been show ling a marked improvement each (week, and an attempt is being made liv officers of the department to perfect the work in every phase, before proceeding with additional phases of ceremonial drill, accord ing to Captain Frank L. Culin, executive officer of the depart ment. Competition Sharp “Every man in every company is doing his best to place his own company first in these drills, and the results have been very encour aging,” said Captain Culin. “How jever, we would like to have a larg er attendanie 9f spectators than at iprevious drills, not only among students, but faculty members as 'well. The ceremony will be found I instructive as well as very inter | esting.” Assembly will sound promptly at 5:15, when all men are expected to be present, in full uniform and under arms. Adjutant’s call, for the start of the parade, will sound at 5:25. WOMEN’S CLASS TENNIS MATCHES START SOON — Plans for women’s class tennis are being pushed at top speed in the hope of scheduling the matches as soon as doughnut tennis has been played off. A ladder arrangement is in use this season. By this sys tem. the names of the girls as they appear on the sign-up list divided into four divisions (one for each i class') are used as the starting point for final selection. Any girl on one of these lists may challenge and play the first or second girl proceeding her. The object is one of elimination in each class. Tt behooves the girl at the end of the list to begin playing immediately so that she may have a better chance for class tennis. The first four names on each list will be those chosen for singles and doubles to compete in the class : tournaments. Climbing on this lad der will count as practices, accord ing to Irene Buckley. ^ The seniors stand the poorest chances in the tournament, since only four from the class h#-e gone out for class! tennis.

It is hoped that this picnic may be held in co operation with the Cosmopolitan club of O. A. C. Boston Ivy Clings To Walls of Many Even the campus buildings are ; turning green in response to the j call of spring, for the Boston ivy, j which covers so many of them, is ! fast reaching its summer verdure, j Seventeen years ago, when H. I M. Fisher, now superintendent of grounds, first came to the Oregon j campus, the only ivy growing | was on McClure and Villard halls, j This was the old English ivy, an evergreen. Finding the English ! variety unsatisfactory, Mr. Fisher j gradually had it removed, and ; caused Boston ivy to be planted J in its stead. The ivy clings to the walls by ; means of its blossoms. If these do not come in contact with the j surface, they go to seed, but if j they touch anything, a glue-like i substance is formed. The ten- j drils then cling so tightly that ! it is almost impossible to jerk ! them loose. Virginia creeper was formerly growing on some of the buildings, j but all has been taken away ex- ( cept that on Deady.
