“More Than Heavenly Power Permits”
J^JANY vices become vices by an individual giving himself
an inch and suddenly awakening to find he has allowed
himself to take a mile. After the premier break past the self
assigned limit each further temptation becomes victorious with
increased, sometimes assisted ease. Were it possible to write
“finis” at the first mile post, although that is already 63,060
times past the original concession, society would not need to
step from the ringside to raise Despair’s right hand in the vic
tory sign. But. there are always more mile posts stretching en
ticingly onward, or downward, beyond that first one.
Administrations, boards, executive, not unlike individuals,
may acquire vices, and also, not unlike individuals, may slip
into them in similar ways. Originally the University charged,
in some courses, a sum of money for covering breakage of in
struments, and materials used, terming this a laboratory fee.
As such it was reasonable and logical and there was no cause
for complaint.
But once upon a time a professor in a department not using
laboratory equipment had a bright idea, or perhaps it was a
naughty temptation. He didn’t use breakable instruments, nor
limited materials, but he used text books, and there were only
a few copies in the Library. Why not charge each student
taking my course a small fee, he argued, and put in a good
supply of text and reference books at the Library. So, like
Doctor Faustus he listened to Mephistophilis, Lucifer’s ser
vant, the administration listened to the professor, and the stu
dents raised the figures on their checks. «
j^lso, as in the tragical history of Doctor Faustus, fame of
his wisdom spread far and wide, and other professors on the
campus stabbed their arms courageously and signed for addi
tional fees, and the students signed more checks.
Then one day, a professor, tired and weary, while bending
over a ragged heap of dull quizz papers exclaimed, “I wish I
didn’t have to correct these stupid answers. I would so much
rather employ my time in study.” Suddenly the professor
brightened, and straightened up his nodding head. The idea of
the “paper reader” had been conceived, and salaries for their
work and for student instructors were drawn to the account of
“laboratory fees,” and the students drew still bigger checks.
There is no need to carry the sad story further, for “reduc
tion ad absurdum,” the students would finally be found financ
ing the buildings and supporting the entire University with
“lab” fees. It has been rumored that increased, in one case,
doubled “laboratory fees” are contemplated in the near future.
It would seem that, with students being charged for everything
from blue pencils to the “readers” who use them, under the
cheerful guise of “laboratory fees,” the practice is taking on
very distinctly the appearance of a vice. Like all vices, it ap
pears to be running true to form, and, having already passed
the first mile post of discretion is rapidly nearing the second
mile post of intolerance.
«. And, to quote from the closing lines of Doctor Faustus, per
haps as a prediction, but more probably as a condemnation, it
makes one:
“Only to wonder at unlawful things,
Whose deepness doth entice such forward wits
To practice more than heavenly power permits.”

thing that I think the sports writ- I
ers forgot was to accuse the bat 1
boys of stealing the bats and at c
that I presume the lawyers would 1
in return have accused them of al- £
ready having plenty of bats. I call £
that an almost perfect account of a £
real ball game and am sorry I was 1
not there to referee the same as £
then I think there would have been
one man on the grounds who was £
inclined to be honest anyhow and 1
in some small way disinterested. I 1
should like to have the real ac- i
count of the victory written by the <
victors as I think that they will i
have no alibi to offer and it should ‘
make some real literature. . i
Yours very truly,

A GRADUATE IN DRAMATICS
EXPRESSES HIS OPINION
The Editor of the Emerald:
The petition being circulated on
the campus by the friends and
students of Fergus Beddie is beau
tiful as a testimonial of devotion.
It also becomes former students to
express similar sentiments.
That such petitions have any val
ue so far as altering the decision
of the board of regents is open to
doubt. There are those of us who
remember many other petitions,
each of which was futile. There
was once, for instance, a unified
and determined opposition to the B.
O. T. C. which culminated in a pe
tition. By means of facile false
hoods and unfulfilled promises? that

TRUE ACCOUNT OF GAME
IS ASKED BY WRITER
Editor Oregon Emerald:
Dear sir:—After reading the ac
count of the game between the
sports writers and laywers will say
that I do not think the lawyers
themselves could have invented a
more perfect alibi for loosing the
game had they have lost. The only
Jim The Shoe Doctor
etition was tabled. The ring
;aders in the agitation graduated
r left school and today the Uni
ersity has the E. O. T. C.. Inci
entally, if the University regents
esire to make economics, why not
xe the military? Of all the use
ess, frillatious departments, it is
urely the prizewinner.
One must take exception to the
tatement imputed to Karl Onthank
hat the courses eliminated at the
Jniversity are the “least import
.nt.” There are .still those who
onsider Shakespeare’s “Works”
uore important than Montgomery’s
'Theory and Practice of Account
ng.”
Those of us who majored and
graduated in “Dramatics” feeT
somewhat as though the University
were disowning us. We are not
educated men it appears, but mere
ly the products of frills and fancies,
unessential and unimportant stud
ies. If so, thank God it is so, for
of all the graduates of the Univer- 4
sity that I know, those who havo
the best perception of the color of
life, or the finest awareness of
beauty, or the clearest conception
of brotherhood, or the most lucid
understanding of the things that
are and that may be, are former
students of Fergus Beddie.
Yours, sincerely,
AETHUE JOHNSON.-’23.

Five Questions
Answered
■ \
1— Ques.: Is it a Permanent Wave?
Ans.: Yes, permanent in the sense that the wave is
retained until the growth of hair leaves the face line.
2— Ques.: Will it injure the hair?
Ans.: No. Because anyone permitted to use this
machine must be a finished operator trained by Prof.
Marcel or his assistants. Also, the effect upon the
hair is much less severe than constant marcelling with
a heated iron in direct contact with the hair.
3— Ques.: Can it be dressed becomingly?
Ans.: Certainly. Treat the same as naturally wavy
hair.
4— Ques.: Is it expensive?
Ans.: No. Beginning May 25, for a period of fifteen
days, we will wave the entire head of hair for an intro
ductory price of $25.00 per head. The average head
at regular rates would cost about $35.00..
5— Ques.: Where can a Marcel Method Wave be ob
tained ?
Ans.: At the Marinello Beauty Shop, Mezzanine
Floor, Eugene Drug Co., McDonald Theatre Bldg.
NOTE—These Waves will all be given by B. Piper Bell, who has been trained
by Prof. F. Marcel personally.
