Phonea-Editor, 1820 ; Manasrer, 721.___ Day Editor- Geneva Drum Night Editor—BUI Haggerty Assistant—Ronald Sellers The Murray Warner Essay Contest The announcement has been made that the amount to be given in awards for the best three essays in the Murray Warner contest has been raised from two hun dred to three hundred dollars by the donor, Mrs. Gertrude Bass Warner, and that she has also given two hundred dol lars to be used as prizes in a second con test, limited to students from the coun tries of the Orient, the subject to, be, “What America has done for my coun try and what I hope she will do.” The purpose of these contests is to stim ulate sympathetic interest in the prob lems of the Pacific, toward the end that in some small way a better understand ing may be brought about between the nations that skirt her shores. Those who ‘have kept in touch with the history that is being made in the Far East realize that this mutual understanding is greatly needed. Mrs. Warner is to be commended for the spirit in which she has given these prizes, and it is to be hoped that the contests will bring out a large num ber of entrants. Even a third prize of fifty dollars is well worth the effort. Many students will hesitate about en tering such contests as these because of a mistaken sense of their own inferiority They feel that they have no adequate knowledge of the subject and that they stand little chance to win against others presumably more brilliant and conver sant with world affairs. They forget that every entrant is thinking the same thing, and that they are on a par with other contestants in that all must conduct their research for material in books and magazines available to everyone rather than from first hand knowledge. If any student has original ideas on any phase of the subject—religious, economic, social or aesthetic and can put them down in a logical manner he has a chance of win ning. If he has no such ideas, let him start an argument with some Oriental student on the campus. H. A. K. Maxims of A Modernist by Jolla CkxLman ’ There is a Gospel of Living ns pleasant and sweet, ns new bread cut with a bright knife or wild cherry blooms dried on river stones. The Credo of wihich I speak is written' in the Code of the Concrete. To interpret it, one must learn the symbolism of a Sun-warmed Hill, the Yellow Dust fro'tn a Butterfly’s Wing, and a Sheaf of Green Oats after a Rain. # * * There is only one kind of eloanliness: New Goods remain unstained until used; Soiled fab fries attain purity thru Many Washings. » » * Going against convention is like butting your head against a Stone Wall.

Goodness knows, I had a hard enough time controlling myself, without having the term^ “conservatism” thrust at me in such a fashion. We are going to have sweat-shirt jackets— Sure, the color is somewhat conservative. But— We are like the young fellow who wants to crash heavy with his sweetie, and buy an auto to cart her around. He went around, to Hen-, nessey’s Second Hand exchange, bought him self an old wreck of a four ton truck for $250, spent $55 more for nice conservative extras, and thought he had the world by the tail.” He had an old heap on his hands, that, with eare, might last the year out. He didn’t seem to know that he could have gone just around the corner and bought a nice looking Ford coupe for an extra $60 or $70 that would have served him on all occasions for three or four years. The sophomores are like that. . . . Gee, somebody will sure think I’m sore, from this letter. Honestly, I’m not, though, only I just can’t bear to have that word “Conser vative” thrown at me in Buch a promiscous fashion. So, Mr. Editor, please tell your re porter not to use that word any more, and oblige. A SOPHOMORE. 25 Years Ago OREGON WEEKLY, NOV. 12, 1900 It is really amusing to read such articles as the one recently published in a certain valley paper. Perhaps some may have seen the clip ping on the bulletin board in Villard Hall last week. When such charges are made, it is cus tomary to substantiate them by authority. Hearsay and random statements are the poor est forme of evidence. As a matter of fact, these charges are untrue. The football men are conforming to strict rules of scholarship. None are carrying less than twelve hours of class room work. The University records are always open to public inspection, so that those who doubt ub have an opportunity for personal investigation. The author of the above men tioned statement is either misinformed or is a contemptable slanderer. We hope that no more such rubbish will be published.—Edit. At the next session of the Oregon legisla ture, which convenes in January, an additional appropriation will be asked for the state uni versity. Now the students of the University can assist materially in the success of this offprt by making a personal canvass of the mehtbers of the legislature and in acquainting them with the needs and demands of the state university.—Edit. The Varsity Glee Club will sing in Villard Hall Tuesday evening, November 27. J <► Theatres •* l THE MoDONALD—Third day: Zone Grey’s latest novel, a thrilling tale of adventure in the wild horse lands of Arizona, “Wild Horse Mesa,” with Jack Holt, Billie Dove, Noah Berry and Doug Fairbanks, Jr. Comedy, Bobby Vernon in “Slippery Feet.” Prelude, “An In dian Camp at Night,” with Alexander on the Wurlitzer. liBX—Second day: “The Golden Princess,” with pretty Betty Bronson, Neil Hamilton, Phyllis Haver, Rockcliffe Fellowes and Joseph Dowling in a glowing drama of the gold rush days of California; Lupino Lane Corned}', “Maid in Morocco,” and made for mirth; Kinogram news events; Dorothy Wyman, maid o’ melody, in atmospheric accompaniment to the picture on the organ. SEVEN SEERS ^ There was a young man they called Pug Who got by on the curves of his mug. With a smile on his face, He won the big race (Pill in Line) My Name .. Phone. Address ... The Seers ' Limerick Contest is enlisting the brightest talent on the campus, if the wealth of contributions is any indication. True, the six admissions to “Bobbed. Hair”, playing at the McDonald theatre next Monday and Tuesday is a mighty incentive, but the Seers prefer to believe that the majority of contributors are prompted by a love of art—a love of limerick- j ing for lim's sake, as it Were. Those feeling the urge stirring within them to gain fame and a free show are reminded that 'earlier contributions Btand a better show of win ning, but limericks will be accepted until 12 o’clock noon today. ' About the /only other rule is that you attend university classes—you don’t even have to be a student; or you may be of that genus homo designated as—that, there prof. Simply fill in the missing line in the above limerick with your version of a rib buster, sign your name, address and phone num ber, and then go home and occupy yourself with some useful occupation, like reciting the Ore gon pledge song, and wait for a telephone call or a note from the Seers informing you of your good fortune and good limericking, with the passers as a tangible reward. First prize entitles the winner to a pass good for three admissions to any perform ance of “Bobbed Hair,” at the McDonald Monday and Tuesday. Second place carries as a prize a pass good for two admissions, and third prize a pass good for one admis sion. Announcement of the awards will be made as soon after the close of the contest, at noon today (Saturday) as possible. G. Hosafat is a scientist of some note. Ever since he arrived he has been interested in the Oregon Mist. The other day he made several experiments, from which he concluded the fol lowing: Oregon Mist is a dense vapor of de scending moisture dephlogisticated by refrac ton. A few more endiometrical experiments will definitely establish tbs hydroprocity, which I expect will test at least 103 proof. * * * There was a monk In Siberia, * * Whose life got we axis and wearia, * * With a hell of a yell, * * He Jumped from his cell, * * And eloped with the sister superia. * * —Plato. * **************** The poor old Seers’ fraternal love has budded out at last. And Sinbad—that moat peaceful dove—with them his vote has cast. They tried to join the swimmers’ club, and learn the back hand stroke; to join the club (aye, there’s the rub) for these poor bimbos smoke. Who ever saw a mermaid fair who used the filthy weed! "Join our club? They wouldn’t dare! No, we guess not indeed!” Twas thus the fair an^ phibia spoke, and thereupon each Seer was heard to make a mournful croak, that hurt the listener's ear. ‘‘Oh, listen to our humble plea,”1 on bended knee they cried; but those amphibia did not see, they never even tried. So now the Seers are on the peck, they wouldn’t join the swimmers; 'cause if they did each dog-goned Seer would have to wear his dimmers. ‘‘We’ll never try another club,” was what they said last night. And from the look of each poor dub, we think they won’t all right. THE SEVEN SEEKS. “SHINY SHOES” Everybody Likes Neat Shoes! Of course Shabby shoes never speak very favor ably for the one wearing them. They may be old but we can shine them just the same.
