The Student
and Politics
Many who were on the campus last
year will remember a Chinese student,
known about the School of Architecture
for his devotion to his ideal garden city
of Bou Onn. He spent from eight to
fourteen hours a day at the board, sketch
ing his buildings, laying out his streets
and finally making complete working
drawings of his creation with floor plans
and elevations of municipal and recrea
tional centers. ' This garden city was his
problem required for the degree of Mas
ter of Fine Arts, and because of its dis
tinctly Chinese character and the beauty
of its conception was the cause of much,
comment by visitors.
However, outside of his required work
this student also planned a complete
municipal system of government, based
upon the systems already in use in the
land of his fathers but designed to meet
the needs of a new China, already taking
form in the minds of many of her younger
generation. Though his instructors may
never have known of this conception,—
it was extra-curricular activity, carried
on with one or two of his compatriots
during the lunch hour in one of the cam
pus eating places,—this plan to him was
an integral part of his city, to which he
gave much time and thought.
Some psychologists may suggest that
he took up this diversion to give vent to
his pent-up energies, or as an avenue of
escape from the confining monotony of
class-room work, as we occidentals flock
to a dance. Perhaps it gave him a much
needed rest from his major problem and
sent him back to his work with a re
freshed mind, affecting him much as a
football game affects us.
In this connection we might state that
throughout Europe and Asia today stu
dents are taking a vital interest and are
playing an important part in political
life. In China not so long ago they seiz
ed a prime minister suspected of selling
out his country and tossed him in a blan
ket. Tn Germany, Russia, Poland! Italy
and England, student opinion’is a factor
to be reckoned with.
We wonder how far one would need
to search in American universities to find
a student who would take of his own
time and energy, voluntarily, to construct
what he considered a plan for a better
municipal government. Who among us
knows what is going on at Locarno, or
the import of Mellon’s views on the in
come tax. All right—how many of us
are practising the Charleston 1 One of
our dancing academies is receiving appli
cants at the rate of eight or ten a day.
—H. A. K.
An Oregon professor asks, “Why don’t
students think?”
All right, why don’t they?
From a midwestern college professor
comes this answer-. “Too little sleep, too
much play, not. enough study, too much
leisure, fast eating, and diversified think
ing are the factors that devitalize stu
dents. . . Bright man, to think up
all those reasons.
According to Hall, genius is prolonged
adolescence. Logically, then, prolonged
adolescents are geniuses. That gives hope
to several of us.

Til response, to your editorial Saturday sug
gesting magazine for the University, I wish
lo express not only my opinion but the opinion
of the majority of people With whom I have
discussed the matter. There is no doubt of the
fact that a university the size of Oregon should
have a campus publication other than its daily
paper.
There is talent of every type necessary to
putting out such a publication on this campus,
and there is enthusiasm. Every freshman asks
the same question, “Hasn’t Oregon a maga- i
zinef” and is surprised at the answer. A type i
of magazine such as you suggested would be j
best—one that had the best short stories, poems,
sketches, a section of hunilor, pictures, and that
included the “Old Oregon” so that the appeal
would be general and to the alumni as well as
to the campus.
I am confident that you have started the
ball rolling and that all that is necessary is to
start a definite campaign under the leadership
of a person who will put the thing through
financially.
Sincerely,
A SENIOR.

THE OREGON WEEKLY
Monday, Oct. 22, 1900
Since the now regime at the University there l
have been many changes and new features of i
student life, but the latest move is the organi- |
zation of a Greek letter fraternity. The new
organization is known as the Gamma Psi ckap^
ter of the Sigma Nu fraternity. The petition
was presented to tho Grand Chapter at its bien
nial session in Chicago last Thursday and simi
lar institutions in the Middlo West and South.
Out of all these applications, the one from the
University was the only one accepted.
Tho football season of 1900 will be formally
opehed next Saturday afternoon, when the var
sity lines up against the team of the Capital
Athletic Club, of Salem.
The students at the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege accept the action of their board of re
gents' in abolishing inter-collegiate athletics
with a complaisance that would have driven an
orthodox believer in the divinity of kings gree*
with envy.—Edit.
East year’s business manager of the U. 0.
Monthly is to be congratulated on his financial
success with that publication. Mr. Eatou turn
ed over, last week, an even one hundred dollar
surplus to the treasurer of the Associated Stu
dents.
Remember the Portland excursion on the
second of November.
The Glee Club will probably make a tour of
Southern Oregon during tho Christmas vaca
tion.
An examination of tho application blanks
show that their are moro than one hundred
voters in the University.

Dills Ahead

Good Morning, have you used Dr. Foltz
reducing soap?
Dear Boys, we are sorry to say that you
must be kept in suspense for several days yet.
Because of the great hue and cry that has been
raised among the co-eds, we are forced to post
pone the final day of elections, for the hand- ]
somest man on the campus. .The final day will ;
be announced later, when we can determine a
slflek in the balloting.
As it stands now. many, many, votes were
cast over the week-end, but because of> neces
sity we m'ust cut down the list to the highest \
fifteen men. Understand that we are doing
this purely to make it easier for the voters, and
not because we have it in for any of those
eliminated. Those in the final race with the j
ballots polled to date are:
Bill Dills.46
Cylbert McClellan.22
Jim Robertson.21
Bud Pearson.19

THE HYSTERIC RAINBOW
Edited by Walter Heavens Forbid
Ye Seven Seers they have long ears
And live here at the college.
They waste newspaper space each day
Exhibiting their knowledge.
Ye Seven Seers, like seven beers
Do foam about the mouth.
But when the foam has blown away
There is of brains a drouth.
Please tell me so that all can hear,
If Seers know all that’s best,
Why in the cock-eyed world should they
Conduct a beauty contest.
To find whose fact the almighty
Did most serene embellish.
Please name one nominee whose face
Does not but look most hellish.
Oh! Seven Sneers for Seven Seers
Do I most loudly muse.
Their brains are sadly in arrears
Their nerve is most profuse.

Miles Elliott Malcolm Tennent
He Believed a Lie
. \
and Scorned the Truth
A YOUNG PEASANT of Central
C/ JL Europe was eagerly questioning
two Harvard men regarding the won
ders of New York.
The first one told him that some of
the New York buildings are so tall
that they are snowcapped all the year.
The peasant stared a moment at this,
but decided it must be true.
Then the second Harvard man spoke
of the great buildings equipped with
dozens of elevators, some for local
service, some for express to the twen
tieth and higher storeys. The peasant
burst out laughing and said, "Now
you are making fun of me!”
Strange but true, of the two marvels
the real one was harder to believe.
The identification of Otis Elevators
with the buildings of New York
and other great cities of the world is
accepted quite casually by those who
visit the important world centers.
The Woolworth Building, New York is the highest commercial build
