The great com poser replied: “When the king speaks, the whole wohld must be silent. Ever convinced of the dignity of art, Liszt quoted this rule of the court to re mind the king that there is something, sacred about music. So, too, there is something sacred about art, however little one is able to reconcile the common Amer ican attitude toward it. Within the near future the University is to have a Fine Arts building if the plans to raise money for its construction are successful. Intended to be the artistic and cultural center for the state> the building will house the valuable Murray Warner collection of oriental art and lit erature, the Ada Millikan Indian art col lection, and others the University pos seses. The Fine Arts building, an effort to maintain the dignity and vitality of art, is a fine project; it will do much to provide an admirable center for the arts on this campus, and may prove a stimulus to creative endeavor in these fields. But art is not the only field in which oppor tuntiy for distinction lies. Mrs. Gertrude Bass Warner, donor of the oriental art collection, is greatly in terested in stimulating better relations between the orient and the United States. And therein lies a hint. Situated on the Pacific Coast, Oregon has an excellent opportunity to become famous as a center for study of the orient, its political conditions, its art and its life in general. In addition to the art collec tion, the University could start a com prehensive collection of books pertaining to the orient. Oregon already has a start in the books which Mrs. Warner has do nated in connection with the art works, but the opportunity lies in a library cov ering the sociological, historial, economic and artistic phases of life in oriental countries. For instance, immigration it self is a vital topic in America. Think what prestige would be the University’s if it could boast today of the finest; li brary on oriental immigration in the United States! Harvard has just announced its inten tion to begin a collection of all material extant on Russia, the soviets, and bolshe vism, including original sources. This is the thing the University of Oregon could do with the orient. Oriental questions are of great moment these days, and will continue to be for probably another cen tury. What could be more valuable to western scholarship than such a collec tion ? Money, of course, is a handicap; but, since the project is in line with the pur poses of the Fine Arts building and the ideals of Mrs- Warner, why could not the promoters of the building campaign use part of the money raised to start the library! Then too, the University could set aside a portion of the regular library appropriation as a beginning. California has its Bancroft library of history. Harvard is to have it library of Rus sian literature. Stanford has it Hoover memorial li brary. Why should Oregon not have a library of oriental works!—an effort to maintain the dignity of knowledge. R.D.L. <$>■ ... ..- .——— ■« ' ■ ■ | Oregon Trophy Stolen <>- —-——--——o WEBFOOT BEARSKIN MASCOT IS CAPTURED BY FIVE V. C. GIRLS BERKELEY, Oct. 28.—She swiped it! Yes, sir, she took the bearskin, and nobody is going to do anything to her because of it, for 9000 odd University of California students stand sol idly behind her, acclaiming the deed. No longer will revellers at the University of Oregon .“bury the bearskin” before the an nual Oregon ^California football game, as has been their custom) in former years. Thanks to the quickness of mind of Miss Zilda Aileen Newlove, of Santa Maria, University of Cali fornia junior co-ed, who w»ent to the game against Oregon in Portland last week, any future interments of the aforementioned bruin pelt will be held on the Berkeley campus. Here is the story of the affray as told by Miss Newlove: “I and four other girls drove up to the game in Portland, and as we passed through the Uni versity of Oregon campus at Eugene, we saw a group of boys standing before a newly made grave, with a nice little headstone and every thing. We stopped to ask what it was all about, so one of the boys nicely stepped up to the front of the machine and told us the entire history of ‘burying the bearskin,’ which was a yearly cere mony before their game with California. They hod just performed the annual rite, and there was the bearskin, drnped over the headstone. “ We didn’t notice what the other boys were doing, but we soon found out that while we had been listening to the boy in front, the others had unfastened a big teddy bear that we had on the back of our car. With a loud whoOp they all ran away, carrying our mascot. We were alone, there was the bearskin, and they had stolen our teddy bear. It struck mte that wo might profit by the exchange, and so I hop ped out, picked up the bearskin, and hid it in the back of the car. Then we got out of there as quickly as possible, and gave it to Donald Meadows, one of the football managers, to guard for us until we all got back to Berkeley.” Meadows admits receipt of the bearskiin, and tells of having shown it to members of the Cali fornia varsity football team, but he claims that he does not know at present the whereabouts of the outer interguement of the “ursus Oregon ius” except that it is somewhere on the Berke ley campus.—Oakland Tribune. " 1 '*• ..... i i ■ - ' ' * <i> Theatres | ———-----<£-* 9 THE McDonald—(LaBt day, the novel writ ten by twenty famous authors, “Bobbed Hair,” with Marie Prevost, Kenneth Harlan, and Louise Fazenda. Comedy, “A Goffie Gob,” and Kinogram News. Coming—Doug. Fairbanks in “Don Q, Son of Zorro.” » * * REX—Last day: “Just a Woman,” with Claire Windsor and Conway Tearle in a start" ling dram\a of a wife who made a big man of her husband, but in the making made him too big to hold his love; Century comedy, “Ac cidents Will Happen,” featuring A1 Alt; Rex weekly news events; Dorothy Wyman, maid o’ melody, in musical accompaniment to the pic ture on the organ. Coming—“The Folly of Vanity,” with Betty Blythe, Billie Dove and Jack Mulhall; Milton Sills in “The KnockcAit.” SEVEN SEERS Weather forecast—In all probability deucedly dank with slightly pschyclonlc winds and a tem perature way below1 normal. #, * * * The Seers were greatly pleased, not to say agreeably surprised, at the results handed in to the Limerick Contest. Verily, we have many Sheets and Kelly’s on the campus, who until now haven’t had the opportunity to express themselves in rim.^, rithm and all that sort. of thing. They have us to thank, not only for the opportunity, i but for the chance at seeing a good show free, and we hope, sincerely, that they keep up the good work. As a result ef the last conetst, the following will be able to eseort their best friends to see “Bobbed Hair” at the McDonald Monday or Tuesday: First Prise: Bobert Jackson, Freshman There -was a yonng man they called Pug Who got by on the curves on his mug. With a smile on his face, He won the big race, AND NOW EVERX DAMN’S A PUG-BUG. Second Prize: Frank Roehr, Senior NOW HE’S CHARGING $2 PEB HUG. Third Prise: Marjorie Parker, Freshman NOW HE’S NEVER AT LOSS FOB A HUG ~ It wias rather difficult for Us to determine betwefen second and third prizes as there was a similarity. However, we put ourselves in Pug’s place and finally decided that the money ele ment is an important one. Furthermore, as one of the contestants was a man and the other a wojphn, we should decide in favor of the man, for"in t1ie matter Of movie dates, it's ah*»y* the man who pays. We further note that the freshmen seem &>., be in the lead as far as poetic talent is con cerned. The contest, which is to be a weekly feature of the column, will be resumed Wednes day, when another limerick will be published. • • * • Limeriekly speaking: There was a young fullback named Jones, Whose specialty was busting up bones; But when asked for a speech He emitted a faint screech, ami was led to the platform with moans. **************** * g. Hosaiat, our scholar, in a decision re- * * cently handed dowta has decided that a spin- * * ster becomes an old maid when she starts * * trying to remember things to forget. * **************** SIDELIGHTS FROM THE SIDELINES Those fortunate enough to have been present at that great social function, the Frosh battle with the Husky Puppies Saturday, noticed that: The GoBBlings are sure to quack in long-dis tance passes, and seem to know what “travel” means. That Spike Leslie never forgets his old train ing days even in the most exciting moments of a game, as far as warming-up exercises are concerned. That Chet Martin evidently has taking ways, if bis method of tackle can be a judge. That Bob Gardner and Ray Williams should make the Frosh team at least on the strength of their passes. That all in all Spike’s doing his best to make a team like that which once gave Harvard^ a run for its mqney, and that he might succeed. Just thirty minutes was taken to put out this column, and although you may declare vehem ently, “It sounds like it!” you’ll have to admit that the only thing that’s a faster job would be a strip-poker contest in the Fiji Islands. GARBO. MORE GRIEF Flivvering can hardly be called an extra-cur ricular activity, yet it too is coming in for a lot of blame for low grades and low moral standards among college students. Hot battles are being waged at Indiana, Pur due, Oklahoma, Kansas, Wabash and Illinois over the attempts to prevent students from driving cars. At Wabash there is much lament ing over the attitude taken toward the “batter ed Ford” which is a tradition on that, campus. COMMITTEE OFFERS AID | TO GROUPS WHO BUILD i Now that many living organiza tions an planning to build or buy, and several new groups are being organized, Dean Walker, chairman of the Student Living and Health Committee, wishes rto remind the students of the aid that the com mittee is endeavoring to give .. 0 ° o. o < them. o “Wo do not wish to be paternal istic,’’ he said, “but organization^ very often make mistakes. For this reason we have made two rules that must be adhered to by the stu dents. One is that the committee must be informed of all grimp plans for the acquiring or the rent ing of property, and. the other is that new groups expecting to or ganize, must first obtain the eon- j sent of the committee. These rules are printed in the book of "Uni versify Regulation*.” The purpose f>f tho committee is partly to save the organizations from paying too much for property or becoming too deep in debt. I is composed of experts in such lines as law, business administra tion, architecture, health service, and general fraternity experience. "These men,” stated Walker, "because of their business ability and their years of experience are | capable of advising in such mat ters. and iu obtaining the best re- ! suits.” SUBSCRIBE TOR THE EMERALD _ SKATE —St thfc—• Winter Garden SATURDAY Afternoon and Eveiling 2:30 and 7:30 I IMPERIAL LUNCH Let’s EAT Here Chinese Noodles, Tamales and Waffles At All Hours RENT AN UNDERWOOD i Typewriters for Rent | at CO-OP 1 month ,..$3.00 3 months “T$/.50 ! .

Name ....____ , __ Address .....;______ New Invention Revolutionizes Sport Mr. William Prendergast, a stu dent of the local University has re cently patented a new invention which is known as a “park meter.” Its real value is readily seen by the fact that all one has to do is to set it before leaving the young lady’s homte, for as many miles as will be eonvenent; then when the proper time has elapsed the car will automatically come to a dead stop, thereby avoiding all embar rassment in asking the young lady if it is her pleasure to park or ride. “The invention,” says Bed, “will revolutionize the gentle art of pig ging-” Unsolicited Testimonial DEAR DEAN: I was often a bridesmaid but never a bride. As a salesman I was inefficient. When I was on a trip my maid was bashful of reminding me to take it with I was a wall flower at one dance after an other. Even mjy best friends refus ed to tell me. Oh, the tragedy of it. After some eternities of men tal English a child crashed through with the layman’s name for it. But did I immediately invest in Listerine against this insidious thing (for I was sure it did not arise from any deep-seated disor der) 1 No. Just at the time the words of wisdom came I drifted into Obak's palacial fountain and since then I have not been troubled.
