Mother and Father A 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 has discussed Her Boy or Her Girl with the neighbors, she has 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 he 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! See, where the tower is. That’s Deady hall, the first building.” Father 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 at 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 lie real izes that he has a “lot of boy” in him yet and His Son has a/ “lot of man” in him already. Why they aren’t so far apart after all. His Son and he. “You bet I’ll come! When will the big game be?” What a laugh they get at the Junior Vod-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 I have to meet all those boys?” shivers Mother, shrinking back a little, 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. The 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 cen 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 and Their Girl, wander slowly about, visiting the campus and the buildings. As the sun falls lower, they gather at the station, friends are greeted, farewells 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 arhored 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 were to us. I am so glad he was able to go to ‘The University’.” And the moon, a little past full and just a hit lop-sided, smiled down kindly and spread his white light mellowing before them, as they smiled and talked, following the winding ribbon which stretched on and on before them into the indefinite, shadowy distance. FAVORABLE COMMENT GIVEN R.O.T.C. PARADE j * | j Lieutenant Sloan, ’22, Says |! Battalion Shows Form i1 The University of Oregon B. O. j T. C. unit is rapidly becoming one.; of the most creditable among the' colleges on the Pacific coast, ac-1 cording to those who witnessed the battalion parade of the local unit j on the drill grounds south of the! barracks, Thursday afternoon. The parade and ceremonial drill, • participated in by six companies. and the B. O. T. C. band, showed’ a marked improvement since the; weekly drills were instituted three! weeks ago, and was satisfactory in ' every respect, according ,to offi- ! eers of the E. O. T. C'." department. , The battalion parade was re- j ceived by Cadet Major Earl Hughes, with Cadet Captain Walter' Baekstrom acting as adjutant. El. company was chosen as the cam-1 pany making the best showing |! while passing the reviewing of-| ficers. Among those who witnessed the I ceremonies was Lieutenant Emerald; F. Sloan, graduate of the Univer sity of Oregon in 1922, who is vis iting a few days in Eugene, prior to his departure for the Hawai ian Islands, where he has been or dered to report for military duty. “There has been a vast improve ment in the University of Oregon B, O. T. C. unit, over what it was in 1922, and it would bo a pleas ure for me to work with this body of men,” said Lieutenant Sloan, when asked for his opinion of the Vork 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 in.deed, 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 E. 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 will 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 A change from the point system to the personnel system of govern ing activities of the women stu dents has been installed at the Uni versity 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 | i reinstating it was raised recently | it was decided that the present, handling of activities under the! personnel committee is more ef- j fective. The personnel committee aims to place students 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. 'Records 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-1 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 are carrying a great deal of responsibility report to the infirmary for examination. Thus women who are not in good physi cal condition will be asked to drop some of their activities. LAW STUDENTS HEAR SPEAKER IN PORTLAND All law classes were dismissed yesterday and today in order to Stive 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 II. Wiginore, is dean of the law school of Northwestern univer sity, and the author of one of the utstanding treatises on the law of vidence and of several much-used >ooks on law. He is recognized as ne of the most progressive and iractical men in the legal profes ion. His lectures are based on his xtensive travels through Europe md on numerous photographs tak n during that time. His lectures re unique in that they probably epresent the first attempt to apply ! o the legal field the practice of ecturing with colored lantern ' lides.

The Oregana SOCIETY ENJOYS FOOLISH FROLIC One of the most brilliant affairs of the soeial season took place on I Obak Kollege Kampus Tuesday eve | ning following the arrival of the I 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 i best to get Bob Mautz, our 6 7-8 balkline champion, to sing Mar cheta, but failed . . . she sang She kago and the fellows certainly ad i mired her slippers and klever kut drss. The A. T. O. ’s entertained a | southern A£iss who danced at the table. The cook resigned because non of the food was eaten. At the Sigma Nii house several songs and dances were enjoyed. Freshmen under 75 years old were not ad mitted without parent’s consent. The Phi Dejt’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 Humor had it that every one is back in school now. Fellows all express the wish that kollege l girls would learn to dance a la Noo | Yawk. WHERERTHEHELLAREWE GOINGTO It's a cinch that Obak’s won’t be able to take 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 the cow-boys up ( the line think more of their stables that we t^ink 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. m 1 Picture of Walter Hevens Kidd Obak’s Newly Elected Poet Laureate (Note: This little poem was found over the stage door of {he Heilig theater after the Greenwich Village Follies had left town.)
