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.

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.

he loaned it -to Husted. Mr. "Hus
ted was racing the car on the
Fair ground race track last Sat
urday, when suddenly the steer
ing mechanism gave way and the
car crashed into the grandstand.
Mr. Husted came out of the
wreck with a broken nose and
many severely bruised spots.

cuting attorney, and Margaret
White was attorney for *th.e de

COSMOPOLITAN CLUB

The Cosmopolitan club held its |
annual election Tuesday evening, i
The officers elected for the coming I
year were: Andree Pellion, presi
dent; Romulo Avila, vice president;
Ben .Tower, treasurer; and Ruby
Lister, secretary and reporter.

tee, which comprises the officers,

ns follows: Andree Pellion, Romu
lo Avila, Ben Jower, Ruby Lister,

The balance of the evening was
given to discussion of Sweden. Pro- |
fessor E. Thorstenberg gave an in- ;
formal discussion of Sweden, which,
because of the similarity of the
origin and character of the people
included sidelights on Norway and
Denmark. Miss Myrtle Jansson
played two selections on the piano.
Coffee, Swedish coffee cake and
fkarpon were served as refresh
ments.
Plans are under way for a pic
nic to be held May 30. 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.
