A New University
of Oregon Magazine
Plrifn! nqV{ pathetic'- are the only ad
jlcCiTeffhat might be used in describing
the list riP publications issued under the
auspices of Oregon students. It is indeed
appalling that a State University -with
.‘J000 students should confine itself to the
jicasept rpster of student publications.
An .inventory is not difficult to make,
so brief is the list given in the ‘Hello’
book.
First, the ‘Hello’ book, yearly infor
mation and advice,
The student and faculty ‘Directory,’
unadulterated statistics.
Besides these two are the ‘Daily Emer
ald,’ ' the annual ‘Oregana,’ and the
monthly ‘Old Oregon,’ the latter an
alumni magazine.
The Oregana, while demanding a vast
expenditure of labor, is a yearly book of
record, and practically speaking, does
not afford an opportunity for student ex
pression.
‘Old Oregon,’ alumni magazine, “a
campus publication edited monthly both
for the interest of students and the
alumni. . .” is written from the alumni
point of view. While serving its purpose
admirably in keeping the alumni in touch
with the University, it holds but little
interest for the casual student and is not
adequate for the expression of undergrad
uate life.
That leaves the ‘Oregon Emerald’ the
only full-fledged student periodical in
existence—the only page where student
expression may find itself in print!
Twenty-five years ago, with 300 stu
dents enrolled, a monthly magazine in
addition to the Weekly struggled bravely,
but somewhere along the line it gave up
the ghost.
Pot and Quill, women writers’ frater
nity, recently published one issue of a lit
erary magazine, “Green Ink,” but it died
in swaddling clothes.
Lemon Punch, the brain child of cam
pus wits, died a recent ignoble death, and
lies with grave unkempt.
A magazine of short stories, planned
last year, got no farther than the brains
of its projectors. No finances.
Last year, also, there was ‘Emerald
Ink,’ a supplement promised in lieu of
the extinct Sunday Emerald, Gone, gone,
also a victim of financial disability on
the part of the Emerald.
Another Emerald supplement planned
for the present year seems to have fol
lowed the rest of the corpses with not
enough money on hand to provide a de
cent funeral.
The University needs a new magazine
of general circulation and appeal. Call
it, a University of Oregon magazine, if
you will. It should not, be strictly liter
ary, humorous, or of any preconceived
stamp. Rather it should represent the
University as a whole, and should fairly
bubble undergraduate life.
Let it he to the University as ‘Vanity
Fair’ is to our contemporary life. The
best short stories; the bes*t caricatures;
the best verse; the best humor; and any
other expressions of our philosophy.
Perhaps an entirely new magazine
should spring forth; or possibly an amal
gamation might he effected with ‘Old
Oregon,’ and the latter’s running organi
zation revamped to suit the needs of the
situation. Discussion will decide the best
means.
If Sigma Upsilon and Pot and Quill,
men and women writer’s fraternities.
Hammer and Coffin, publishing society,
and others interested will lend their ac
tive support the magazine can be made at
reality. The need is imperative.

o-;---———?— -
Have ypu read “Weo^ End”? I£. not listen
to a tale, of a party supremfc. ’ It began, all
parties do—but this one in particular began at
an exquisite country home with alt its adorn
ments including the guest who habitually gets
in the way of anything breakable. __ From the
introduction of the character who is'persuaded
to come on the supposition that some one else
will be'therej to the end where the. host makes
his nightly pilgriamage to bring his wife to bed,1
the-reader is kept, with his eyes fastened on the
printed page. Fortunately the book is—oh so
short; and one can persue the whole book—-a
chapter before breakfast, a chapter during
breakfast, a chapter on. the way wherever one
is going-—-and finish it in a very mad rush.
There seems to be nothing missing. Thera are
the bored the forced gay, tjie bathers,the moon
light escapades, the naughty and the very
naughty, all in this book of an ultra-sophisticat
ed set. And the stories told by the would-be
authors among the guests are an art in them
selves.
Tlie reader who wants something light but
exceptionally entertaining will find many mom'
cuts of enjoyment in “A Young Man’s Fancy’'
by John McIntyre. It is the story of a young
man who falls in love with a wax figure in a
department store window. The lovely adven
tures ho pictures in his mind for himself and
his wax lady keep the reader interested to tho
last word. And when he plans the dinner for
his wax lady and she appears—well, it certain
ly would be a shame to spoil the story for you
by going any farther.

Let us once and for all settle the bones of
Perci Barks, who bays at the moon on moon
light nights—when else could he, silly! Now
Mr. Professor’s first book which we shall call
the Elastic Age (although garters did not enter
his book, either in his characters or in his
words) had a lot of truth in it. A Prof, at a
college for boys only, he handed across the
“lowdown” on conditions which wer prevailing
to a great extent among some of those eastern
universities. He followed this book with a
short story in the Liberty magazine which con
tained a “punch” as well as a lot bf truth.
But right then and there, he forgot that books
of his kind should contain something of value
to get across and wrote instead what he prob
ably termed ns “red hot number right off tho
frying pan” designed “to knock the present
generation and all their friends intb a cocked
hat”. But with his book which rambles on
about a poor little half breed girl and bad, bad
men, he merely accomplishes the inner orna'
meats of a garbage can. The way to show those
authors that they‘can’t “put anything over on
us” is to leave them and- their works scverly
alone.

Fame lies in the offing for the winner of
the Beauty Contest. Already a contract has
been signed with the Phampus Phlayers Philm
Corps, for the production of a film entitled,
‘The Mislaid World—A Sheepherder’s Ro
mance,” starring the Seven Seers’ Prize Beauty.
Dther engagements, including a speech to be
broadcast over KGW on “The Importance of the
Asterisk and the Seven Seers in Modern Art,”
ire being arranged for the fortunate one, and
the greatest reward of all—a life membership
into the Almighty Order of Sev^n Seers itself!
Because of the continued fair weather, the
first meeting of the year held under the aus
pices of the California Club was a failure the
other night. No one had anything to complain
about and President Fitzimmons was at a loss
for an issue.
Soon, however, a sun-kissed son of the sunny
state, from Sunnyvale, laid a motion on the
table to the effect that a Citizen’s committee
lie appointed for |the purpose of rebuilding
Tia Juana. The motion was accepted and Lew
Cody, of film fame, was unanimously elected
to fill the chair.
Contributions should be placed in garbage
cans or taken direetly to the city dump. As
every sophisticated Californian nurses a tender
spot in Ms heart for Tia Juana, contributions
were not slow in forthcoming.
Contributions received to date:
Ted Becker: ..Half a dozen corkscrews.
Bob Neighbors—Sir packs of marked
cards.
Ted Flangus: ..One noiseless cash reg
ister.
George Craig: One deck of slightly used
pinochle cards.
W. C. T. U.: One dozen jars of cynide jell.
Latest fashions for well-dressed morons
wnre discussed and the following conclusions
were reached: This is the time of the year
when the well-dressed man must select his ward
robe for pheasant, partridge, snipe and crap
shooting.
