M. C. A. In truth, every man can well afford to make this gift. It is an investment thoroughly worth while. Outstanding among the benefits de rived from the Y. M. C. A. is the use of the Hut as a club house by men not af filiated with living organizations. In the absence of a Student Union the Y. M. C. A. provides a gathering place for these men. The Y. M. C. A. does not limit, its scope to a few. Rather, it attempts to encom pass the campus in its influence. The Y Hut renders a very necessary service to new and old students by find ing boarding and rooming places. The organization is a valuable employ ment agency for scores of University men. The Y. brings to the campus well known speakers of recognized merit. The Y. renders a friendly service to the foreign students on the campus that is invaluable. It is the only place that most of them obtain any contacts with American life. • # • • The Y. is one of the few organizations that attempts to promote the spiritual life of students. Take away the Y. and you’ve taken away the most of the Uni , versitv religious education. These are the dividends. They’ve been paid before. A dollar from everyone will provide the necessary wherewithal. Concerning Letters To The Emerald As stated once before on this page, the Emerald welcomes comnt/inications. It is believed that students are interested in the opinions of their fellow men. The Emerald requests that a limit of 200 words be placed on all letters, as space is limited. • Communications must be sign ed, although a nom de plume may be. used. The Emerald reserves the right to reject any or all letters. Something new, at last. Sunday after noon a whole family encamped under a tree, near McClure. They spread a pon derous picnic lunch, to the evident de light of the entire party, and the wonder of passing students. Good idea, boys, for a pleasant date with the heart’s desire. To the tune of, “ We ;yre 100 per cent for Old Oregon. Wo close for all confer ence games,” Green-Kilhorn and Wilde Knapp. Eugene stores, closed Saturday afternoon for the game. If all Eugene stores could respond so generously, at tendance at the games would jump mightily. We feel it our duty to call attention to the fact that the biggest and finest and best party of the year will be h dd next Saturday when the journalists give <heir famous annual Journalism Jamboree. God’s better people will toss away the cares of the multitude that night. Onee again— Stetsons. Today the Senior class meets. If the Seniors will make the Stetson hat the official head wear for the fourth year men. they will he reviving a custom that is well worth retaining. The hats are distinctive, good looking and sensible. The coaches are driving the men hard on Hayward field. Give the men two weeks more training and full hearted sup port and they’ll make the Golden Bear squeal when he hits the turf on Mult nomah field. According to the rally committee, only $1.81 will be required to make the round trip to Portland for the California game. At that rate the whole University can af ford to be there. It’s worth $3.81 to par-. ticipate in the riot on the train alone. Fee payments start today, lie who pays today will live to pay another day—j and will probably save three dollars in j the bargain. Intelligence test results are out. Have | you a little dumbbell in your house? if; so, don’t worry The tests aren’t to be; taken too seriously. o -O LETTERS From Other Schools O—— -~-4> THE CHARLESTON! We’ve had to come to it. The Charleston is creeping upon us. It made an official debut at Stanford at a recent rally dance, according to front page headlines in the Daily Palo Alto. From other schools also comes word of heroic efforts being expended to mas ter the intricacies of this famous southern dance step. For those who are already despaired of mastering its subtleties, tho Indiana Daily Student has a word of cheer. It sums up the situation by saying: “Viewed front any angle, the Charleston is a problem. The number of really good Charleston dancers within tht next few weeks probably will be about one dozen couples—no more.” Can the Charleston be Responsible? UNIVERSITY FACULTY MEMBER IS SUICIDE; MOTIVE NOT KNOWN. —Headline in Oklahoma Daily. One thing we have noticed in scanning tho society columns in the papers of other schools. That is, there seems to have been as many announcements of marriages and of engage ments among last year’s students elsewhere as here. The rush of rushing has claimed its annual quota of attention and the old question of whether or not first year students shall be rushed has again gone through the mill. At the request of the administration and by a vote of the Interfraternity Council and the fra ternities, Cornell has suspended the rushing of freshmen until the fall of their sophomore year. Other schools are advocating new rushing rules or more stringent enforcement of existing ones., Speeding on the campus at the University of Kansas has called forth drastic action on the part of the Student Council. (This refers to auto drivers and not to students hurrying to eight o ’clocks.) Any person convicted of a violation of the campus speed laws is punished, upon first offense, by being deprived of his social privileges for one semester; upon second offense, by being prohibited from driving a motor car on the campus, in addition to the penalty for the first offense; and, in caso of a third offense, the offender is suspended from school for ono year.

Our football manager is indeed farsighted. Each afternoon he may seen coaching a team of ten-year-olds who will strengthen the Uni versity of Oregon eleven in years to come. Our manager deserves great credit t'^r this. The little boys are thinking of tendering him an oyster supper. Two of our worthy seniors (one of them the student body president, the other a Dutchman from Grunts Pass) may be seen each evening industriously riding on the merry go-round. Be hold the advantage of higher education. The college year has begun under the most favorable auspices. The large number of stu dents, both new and old, is most gratifying to the University authorities. Many students have not registered, but when all are counted, it is quite likely that the number will be in excess of 300, an increase of 50 per cent over last year. Many new courses of study are offered this year, and three new members have been added to the faculty. They are: Joseph Schafer, Ph.D. professor of history; A. II. Sheldon, Ph.D., in structor in philosophy and education, and O. C. Stafford, A.B., assistant in chemistry. These new men will add greatly to the strength of the teaching force of the University.

O' — —■ -<3> SEVEN SEERS A New Feature O--!j> COMING ATTRACTION As a special feature for the women readers, the writer has secured the rights on Bazz Wil liams’ “Little Tips To Turn To.” Mr. Wil liams, who is of the coaching staff, has selected for the title of his first article, “My Secrets On Blushing.” Girls, if you do not know the proper moment to blush or if you fail to turn scarlet when you say, “Sir!” don’t, by any means, fail to read the first installment, which will appear just one week from today. MORE CULTURE The sport writers on the campus have at last solved the real reason for Oregon’s defeat last Saturday. Accord ing to a headline in yesterday’s Em erald reading, “Inability to score is held responsible for defeat by Idaho team Saturday.” Now you see, if we had made more points than the Van dals, we would have1 won. Simple enough. Coach Dick Smith has added the sport scribes to his advisory council. SPEAKING OF SPEED College students do hit a terrific speed at times. To overcome this, the banks of Eugene have adopted the slogan N. S. F.—Not So Fast, or in simple English—Slow Down. The registrar says though it’s Not So Funny. CAMPUS BRIEFS Looking back over the past week we find that: the Gamma Phi’s have washed some of the windows in their new home; a certain girl whose last name is the same as the first part of a wiell known baked bean concern, and who has rather strawberry-blonde colored hair, continues to wear a diamond ring on each hand; the Tri-Delt’s haven’t any lawn to mow; it’s easier to “count stars” sitting in the new grand stand as it hasn’t any top; the old grand stand is much darker, though. MORE COSMOPOLITAN The Cosmopolitan club has been making a lot of silly noise. That much is granted, but about the silliest comes to light in the little comhnunication we received yesterday. Sears Sirs, Rent are all the air? i, who are but bomble son of my Father, are vastly impoverished when i are not chosen as Cosmopolitan club Emperor. What, i deduc.fj, are the Troubles that stir a-round and a-round the green Gorges of Oregon letting rice fields grow uncultured and unCosmopolitan become leadership in Club! Must we subject to jazz and short skirts instead of lottery and,/ dances by Zansibairi girls, hoping you can, i remain, Brother college boy, MATSU MATSU. FOR THE GIRLIES A flat tire is bettor than no date at all. IN TWO SCENES 1 The night was dark The bottle low The car could go. 2 The Uoctor said, “He’ll recover Rather slew. ” WATCH FOR IT The extra special feature next week will be, “How Little Red Riding Hood Got Et,” or, “When There's a Wish-bone There’s Usually a Family Row.” The first results of the beauty contest are being canvassed by the Seven Seers, and a re port will be made tomorrow. Nominations will lie accepted, however, today and tomorrow. Women may enter the name of their choice for the handsomest man on the campus with the coupon below, which should be deposited in one of the three ballot boxes in the main library, the journalism library, and the Women’s build ing: Seven Seers, Statistical Bureau: I think that. Is the handsomest male student on the campus. SAHIB ALLAH MAN'CU-SH. MASH NOTES Because of the huge stacks of mash notes that find their way into our council room every day, we are saving a space at the end of our column for the communications so that the cam pus may enjoy these little tributes with us. A LETTER OF PROTEST I, an incoming freshman, am appalled aud a little frightened at what I find at this Uni versity. Here I expected a favorable environ ment and associations uplifting. But what do I find? That the convict, Tom Murray, is an associate member of the Seven Seers. If here such a one is given honor and lifted above his fellows, I erred in registration. Why is this felon placed in company with Bob Mautz, Dick Smith and Miss America? When 1 think of Miss America‘s embarrassment, I marvel that Mr. Smith and Mr. Mautz do not actively object. Is there no manhood in our men? O. A. P. <>—-——-o ! Campus Bulletin | o-—.. ■ Mathematics Club—Meeting Thurs day, 7 :30, in room 1, Johnson hall. Miss Wave Lesley will speak. Everybody come.

W. C. A. bungalow. The object of the course is to acquaint University women with the methods, purposes and pro grams of various clubs, and to en able them to be leaders of high school groups and community -clubs. The Y. W. C. A. has previously sponsored such a course at the Uni versity and they feel that it was Successful, according to Miss Mag owan, secretary. Miss Magowan expects freshmen I girls to be particularly interested . in this undertaking because of the ' fact that so many of them have ! been engaged in Girl Reserve and 1 other club activities in high school. J Miss Cochran will discuss special problems in regard to the value of | club work. Enrollment for the course may be made by calling Miss Magowan at the bungalow.

Work was started on the directory Monday and every effort is being made to get it out as soon as possible. The names of the stu dents and their residences were not in before that time, causing delay in the preparation of the copy. It will take several weeks to print the directory and do the necessary J rechecking, Mr. Dart believes, so it will not be ready for distribution for three or four weeks. MANY ALUMNI WITNESS IDAHO, OREGON GAME A taste of Homecoming was giv en to the campus last week-end with the arrival of many alumni, who returned* to witness the game with Idaho. Handshakings and greetings were thick at the game and at night several old time sing ers serenaded the women’s houses.

Without knowledge of this his labor may be largely in vain.” Prof G F. Swain. M.I.T.
