Mother and F ather
i '
UTOMOBILES are spinning along the roads leading to Eu
gene and the University today. In many of them, eagerly
leaning a little further forward as the machine nears the cam
pus, and with eyes just a little brighter than is usual, are
Mother and Father.
Down the tracks the engine whistles and slackens speed as
it rolls into the Eugene station, clanking past a crowd of ex
pectant faces, who peer up through the dusty windows in a
vain attempt to identify the occupants. The long line of cars
grinds to a stop, and slowly, one by one, the passengers descend
the steep flight of steps. “Mother, Father, here I am! Come
right out this way. Here, let me take your grips.”
“The University,” but a generalized name and hitherto con
juring only a hazy picture, becomes a reality. Often, when
Mother lias discussed Her Roy or Her Girl with the neighbors,
she lias glibly spoken of “The University,” telling of some of
the exciting incidents related to her through the “letter home;”
—how the dark waters of the mill-race chill both heart and body
of the imaginative freshman, of hikes to Spencer’s, of the initi
ate’s spooky thrill as lie carries out some momentous “mission”
in the ghostly graveyard, of the moonlight shimmering down
the rippling, winding race, of the colorful house “formal,” of
glorious, sunshiny picnics up the dashing McKenzie. What a
thrill Mother has now when she sees these with her own eyes!
“There's the campus; Mother! Set1, where the tower is. That’s
Deady hall, the first building.”
Fat her wants to see the athletic grounds. “Look, Dad,
there is the football field. Right over there, at that end, is
where Oregon held Washington on the goal line al Homecom
ing last fall. Gee. that was a battle! You’ll have to come down
next year and see one of those games! Will you?”
And Father suddenly feels the years fade away and he real
izes that he has a "lot of boy” in him vet and 1Lis Son has
“lot of man” in him already. Why they aren't so far apart
after all, 11 is Son and he. “You bet I'll come! When will the
big game be?”
What a laugh they get at the .Junior Yod-vil! It is surpris
ing what a good show those kids can put on. It was as good as
any professional performance! And they chuckle again, “Yes,
it was good, wasn't it ?”
Dinner at the house is thrilling. “Do 1 have to meet all those
boys? shivers Mother, shrinking hack a 1 ittIt', and having a
queer, panicky feeling almost like that time she went with Dad
to her first dance back in her teens. But the boys are so nice,
and she soon forgets her first misgivings. They are so clean
and manly, and boyish, too, she thinks, as the cheery flames
crackle and snap in the big fireplace.
1 lie dinner gong, and the doors roll back, displaying the
long, narrow table, lined with silverware and bright glasses,
with a profusion of deep-colored carnations blanketing the een
ter of a snowy tablecloth. Between courses the animated con
versation is interrupted now and again by rollicking college
“songs bringing forth applause and laughter. It is fun!
Tomorrow the little groups. Mother and Father. Their Boy
ami 1 heir («irf. wander slowly about, visiting the campus and
the buildings. \s the sun falls lower, they gather at the station,
friends are greeted, tarcwolls are made, the coaches steam out
and grow smaller and smaller as the engine, puffing forth great
white clouds, swings around the curve and disappears.
Automobiles whirr away down the nrbored streets, and pick
up speed as they gain the open highway, joining the long stream
of others also homeward bound. Mother and Father look at
one another, and their eyes mist a trifle, and then shine glow
ingly. “Their Son! Isn’t he splendid! And everyone seemed
to like him so. Did you notice how friendly they all wore to
us. 1 am so glad lie was able to go to ‘The University’.”
And the moon, a little past full and just a bit lop-sided,
smiled down kindly and spread his white light mellowing before
them, as they smiled and talked, following the winding tybbon
which stretched on and on before them into the indefinite,
shadowy distance.

FUMBLE COMMENT
GIVEN R.O.T.C, PARADE
Lieutenant Sioan, ’22, Says
Battalion Shows Form
The University of Oregon B. O.
T. C. unit is rapidly becoming one
of tin' most creditable among the
colleges on the Pacific coast, ac
cording to those who witnessed the
battalion parade'of the local unit
on the drill grounds south of the
barracks, Thursday afternoon.
The parade and ceremonial drill,
j participated in by six companies
and the B. O. T. C. band, showed
a marked improvement since the
weekly drills were instituted throe
weeks ago, and was satisfactory in
every respect, according Vto offi
cers of the B. O. T. 0. department.
The battalion parade was re
ceived by Cadet Major Earl
Hughes, with Cadet Captain Walter
Bnekstrom acting as adjutant. F
•company was chosen as the cam
pony making the best showing
while passing the reviewing of
ficers.
Among those who witnessed the
ceremonies was Lieutenant Emerald
E. Sloan, graduate of the Univer
sity of Oregon in 1922, who is vis
jiting a few days in Eugene, prior
j to his departure for the Hawai
I ian Islands, where he has been or
dered to report for military duty.
| “There has been a vast improve
i incut in the University of Oregon
ill, O. T. C. unit, over what it was
| in 1922, and it would be a pleas
ure for me to work with this body
of men,” said Lieutenant Sloan,
when asked for his opinion of the
Work of the local unit. “If we
staged a ceremony in those days
we were fortunate to have an at
tendance of 40 per cent among the
cadets.
“Although I have come here di
rectly from regular troops, the
showing made by this unit is cred
itable indeed, and, I believe, would
compare favorably with the mili
tary unit of any institution on the
coast,” he said.
Lieutenant Sloan was a Cadet
Major in the University R. O. T. C.
unit while on this campus. Upon
graduation he entered the military
service, receiving an appointment
as Second Lieutenant in the in
fantry on January 5, 1923. He was.
until recently, stationed at Fort
Missoula, Montana.
The next weekly battalion parade
iwill be held at the regular hour,
Thursday afternoon, and addition
al phases of ceremonial drill may
be presented at that time.
APPOINTMENT SYSTEM
CHANGED AT CALIFORNIA
\ change from the point system
to the personnel system of govern
ing activities of the women stu
dents has been installed at the Uni
versitv of California.
Under the point system definite
numbers of points were given each
office or activity, and women were
allowed to carry only a limited
number. This system was not ef
fective and when the question of
reinstating it was raised recently
it was decided that the present
handling of activities under the
personnel committee is more ef
fective.
The personnel committee aims to
place studepts who are not already
working on committees. At the be
ginning of each semester women
are told about the system and asked
to fill out cards if they wish to be
put on committees. Ttecords are
kept on the cards, telling of the
committees to which each is ap
pointed and the grade of her work.
Chairmen are required to submit
their appointments to the person
nel committee for approval and wo
men who have never been asked
to serve are added before publish
ing the list. In addition to adding
such names to committees and so
distributing the activities over a
larger group, the personnel commit
tees will, in the future, see that
seniors who nre carrying a great
deal of responsibility report to the
I
, infirmary for examination. Thus
women who are not in good physi
cal condition will he asked to drop
some of their activities.
LAW STUDENTS HEAR
SPEAKER IN PORTLAND
- j All law classes were dismissed
yesterday and today in order to
give the students and faculty of
the law school an opportunity to
hear the lecture by John H. Wig
more, nationally known jurist,
which was delivered in the Port
land Central library hall last night,
and to attend the meetings of the
Judicial Council of the State Bar
association yesterday and today.
The entire faculty and about 35
students of the law school left for
Portland yesterday to attend the
lecture and meetings.
John H. Wigmore, is dean of the
law school of Northwestern univer
sity. and the author of one of the
outstanding treatises on the law of
evidence and of several much-used
books on law. lie is recognized as
one of the most progressive and
practical men in the legal profes
sion. His lectures are based on his
' extensive travels through Europe
! and on numerous photographs tak
j on during that time. His lectures
are unique in that they probably
represent the first attempt to apply
to the legal field the practice of
| lecturing with colored lantern
j slides.

HIGH SCHOOL LATIN TOPIC
FOR COLLEGIUM AUGUSTALE
The problem of teaching Latin
in the high schools was the topic
taken up at the Tuesday night
meeting of Collegium Augustale,
held at the Y. M. hut.'
SOCIETY ENJOYS
FOOLISH FROLIC
One of the most brilliant affairs
of the social season took place on
Obak Kollege Kampus Tuesday eve
ning following the arrival of the
Greenwich Village Follies. Some of
the boys in the houses had the show
girls up to dinner and a good time
was enjoyed by all. Madamaselle
Fi Fi (pronounced fee-fee) tried her 1
best to get Bob Mautz, our 6 7-8
balkline champion, to sing Mar
eheta, but failed . . . she sang She
kago and the fellows certainly ad
mired her slippers and klever kut
drss. The A. T. O. ’s entertained a
southern Miss who danced at the
table. The cook resigned because
non of the food was eaten. At the
Sigma Nu house several songs aud
dances were enjoyed. Freshmen
under 75 years old were not ad
mitted ■without parent’s consent.
The Phi Delt’s had both show and
kollege girls for dinner, but a fairly
good time was had. Obak’s tables
were almost deserted Wednesday
but Lady Rumor had it that every
one is back in school now. Fellows
all "express the wish that kollege
girls would learn to dance a la Noo
Yawk.
WHERERTHEHELLAREWE
GOINGTO
It’s a cinch that Obak’s won’t be
able to tnke care of all the athletic
tournaments in the University, even i
with the new pool parlor I guess \
the only thing to do is to pass the
$5 tax amendment. Personally, I’d!
hate to think that £he cow-boys up j
the line think more of their stables
that we think of our place. They
don't seem to mind the tax they
have, which coupled with their
pledged amount to more than this
tax would provide for. Seems to me
that if we don't get off the dime
we ’ll lose uot around this state.
