What about it? Had we best quit kidding ourselves into be lieving we should say .and do say “hello” to everyone? Have we overgrown the stage where a "word to all other students is impracticable? Undoubtedly students do not greet one another with the cordiality of a few years past; but perhaps this is a step for ward as the Corvallis editor suggests. Antiquated or not, all must admit that the old time wrorn “hello” is a mighty fine word at times. If in doubt the skep tic might call to mind the sensations he received the first day upon arriving in Eugene and the campus. To be greeted heartily by all the University men and women was most surprising and pleasant, and conveyed at once a friendliness within the new freshman toward the University in general. _ It is interesting to note also the attitude visitors at Oregon take towards the “hello.” Last fall when the coast college editors visited Oregon, almost without exception they com mented most favorably upon the cordiality of Oregon students, basing their impressions largely on the “hello’s.” One editor inquired most seriously into the method for starting the custom on his own campus. Perhaps we have grown a bit unappreciative of our legacy. Perhaps the custom needs to be slightly modified on the crowd ed parts of the campus where a word to everyone is most im possible and most foolish. It would seem the sane thing to do, however, to retain the “hello” tradition in the main. At present if one meets an Oregon student off campus in Eugene or Port land or Seattle or San Francisco or New York, he says “hello.” It’s taken a long time for this custom to grow up and what it needs now, probably, is not a death blow, but a good healthy rousing. A Word About Band Uniforms From the University of Pennsylvania Alfred L. Lomax, former Oregon business administration instructor, now located at the Wharton school of finance and commerce, University of Pennsylvania, writes to the Emerald as follows: “Have just read your little editorial on new uni forms for the U. of 0. hand men and citing the University of Pennsylvania band as an example of a well dressed group of mu sicians. 1 heartily concur in the above. The U. of P. hoys, dress ed in their neat blue uniforms, supplemented by a blue cape lifted with red on the under side, the latter usually worn with the front thrown jauntily over the shoulders exposing the brilliant red, do add much to the big games played oh Franklin Field. There are eighty pieces in this company of student musicians. . . . . Visiting teams, like Cornell and Illinois, brought their big bands with them, so that between halves there was always lots of music. Oregon has a good band and the boys deserve consideration.” With spring football under way we are reminded that the 1926 football season will soon be on hand and the band again on display. "Why not have a new suit of clothes when that time comes. Concerning Two Students Who Have Been Indiscreet Two University students who have been accused of stealing merchandise from Eugene stores now find themselves bound over to the grand jury which shall decide if their case is to be taken up for further consideration by the courts. While not as yet proven guilty of the charges, the two girls are said to have confessed, and the evidence leaves meager cause to doubt the exactness of the charges. All the University regrets the course events have taken. To find two! members of the University community so deeply involved in law breaking brings wonderment at the baldness of their folly and sympathy for the young women’s families which must suffer the humiliation of such public notoriety. Possibly the court will find the charges unwarranted, or uncover extenuating circumstances, or see fit to mitigate the penalty in ease of conviction. We hope so. It is a fact, how ever, that the young women, most regrettably, have placed themselves in a situation outside the jurisdiction of the Univer sity: and if the court finds need for more severe correction we can only be sorry and understand the why of it all. Why Not Give the A. S. U. O. President a Decent Salary? The worst job around a University, at least the University of Oregon, is that of graduate manager. Next in line is the Student Body President, who runs a close second. The greatest difference in the two jobs is that the graduate manager gets paid for his trials and tribulations and the stu dent body president receives not a thing, unless that thing called glory can be called payment. All must admit, however, that collegiate glory never filled any pocket book, drew any interest, or lasted much longer than the fickle cheers of the multitude. Why not pay the student body president f He puts in half or more of his time every day in guiding student body affairs as assuredly as does the graduate manager. His studies suffer;! he never has any mental peace; gets blame for everything that goes wrong—and gets nothing but glory. The graduate man ager gets paid, the editor of the Emerald gets paid, the Emer ald manager gets paid—why not the A. S. U. 0. president t SEVEN SEERS o ..— •' —-^ YOUR TEETH SLEEP WHILE WE WORK. SAD This picture came over the wire from the U. P. showing beautiful young circus queen who gave up her former life of love and luxury in the sawdust ring to become a mere college co-ed. “The Jilted Filly,” as she was called by her adoring class-mates and people, east aside her shining spangles and silk tights, to don the simple, al most nun-like garb of the full fledged collegian, consisting of a fur coat, a very few flimsy underthings and ever fewer clothes, so that she was shivering in the cold winter blasts. How she was compelled to beg her meals off of wealthy col lege sheiks, and how she had to re sort to shaking hands with her pro fessors and other humiliating deeds to get by the dourses, is told in the Sunday issue of our New Year’s edi tion, with pictures. At last! That Blues song you have been waiting for! It .is called, “Nobody Knows What a Redheaded Slauson Cap Do.” —By Doris Meldrum. The wind blew on the sky and ground, The wind blew round and round and round, The wiftid blew up, the wind blew clown, And then the wind, blew up the town! EESOP FOIBLE Once upon a time there was a fox named Jack Herring, and he Was walking along the street one day when he espied some grapes hanging up to dry. And he said to himself, “Yay, forsooth, but I would like them grapes.” And he licked his chops in great glee. But try as he would he couldp’t quite swing the deal. So this Fox, he went and paid a call on another social Lion. And he said to the Lion, “York, they’s a mess of grapes up the road a piece, and If you gives me a heft at ’em, I’ll leave you have a snack.” But the Lion replied, “I wasn’t in the room when the Woman was shot.” Whereupon the Fox cried, “Please have your fare ready upon entering.” And this made the Lion so angry he just bellowed forth, “Merchandise of Merit Only!” and the Fox pnuek noiselessly away. But as he left he was heard to say, laying his finger aside of his nose, “Nobody knows what Herring does while Eugene sleeps. Aha! ” And as soon as he was safely across 13th, York Herron slipped out of the house and down the street to where the grapes were hanging. And would you believe it. he recht up and clum up until he had et all them grapes, and he wabbled home, missing only one lamp-post, singing, "Carry Me Back to Bull Montana.” But the poor little Fox when he got the message from Garcia, snorted, ! “Oh, they was sour grapes any ways. ” MORAL: HONEY SWAT KEY MOLLIE PANTS. •* * • RUTH IS GOING Ah, do you recognize the campus Romeo, Rob McCabe? Of course you didn't. Where is his gay smile, his merry twinkling eye, his debo nair air? Answer: Powyi at the Chi Omega Hut. Ruth Fletcher, “the knoekenest-out woman on this campus,” (quoting Mr. McCabe) is separating her clothes from those of the other sisters, attempting to squeeze them into her trunk, and getting ready to buy a ticket for California. And the Shasta leaves Sunday! “Omigosh! Omigosh! Such a short, short time to tell her all the many little things I want to tell her!” wails Bob in despair. HOOPS, MY DEAR! .The Basketeers, they have no fears, They li've on trains at switches; They spend their days At making plays, • In ’breviated breeches. MY THEORY IS ALWAYS TO LEAVE OFF WHILE YOU’RE STILL GOING GOOD. SAHIB ALLAH MANCU-SH. Gft?e (CI)anu'lemt BY JIM MELANCHOLIA Last night while checking over the credits and liabilities of the past year and brooding in deep melancholia, the following gem of remedial poetry came to the writ er’s mind: Haunted Last night I sat beside the grate To on existence ruminate; To check the records of the year And try to find a balance clear. The old clock tieked in cheerful way, The fagots crackled bright and gay, When, from outside, all thick with gloom, A troop of ghosts marched in* the room. Some of these shades were old and gray, . Some very little had to say: Not one was joyous, smiling, young. And not one with a pleasant tongue. Some wore a ghastly, grimly grin, Wagged constantly a gibb’ring chin While two or three against the wall Made scarcely any sound at all. “Now who are you,” I sternly said, “That quit the regions of the dead To break my peace?” No answer came; “Speak up!” I cried, “where lies the blame?” Each ghost at all his fellows looked, Next to one all their fingers crooked, And then this shadow, with a grin, A spectral yarn began to spin. “These ugly forms you think you see Are naught. Each is a phantasy. They are but thoughts, but I am real And so these presences you feel. This ugly troop you see tonight My children are: I’m Apetite, That takes his toll in pain, not cash, Now settle for that turkey hash!” » * The grousing guy at the next desk says a man’s mind invariably turns to women when it isn’t occupied. In our usual state of mind we’ll do the regulated thing: Epitaph to Women Oh, the rudeness of their rudeness when they’re rude, And the shrewdness of their shrewd ness when they’re shrewd, But the rudeness of their Tudeness and the shrewdness of their schrewdness Is as nothing to the goodness of their goodness when they’re j good. • • t While we ’re on the subject of! women we ’ll run this communica tion: Dear Jim: For many years now our sex has been clamoring for equality and lib-, erty. And, addressing one of your sex, what have you conceeded us? What? I ask you. Carrie Carrie, Pear: After these years of clamoring there is one glaring accomplishment —aren’t you standing up in the street cars? JIM j Today we’ll dedicate this column to the memory of Sitting Bull, who! arose to give his seat to a lady. STANFORD GIRL GROWS LARGER; WEARS LESS STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Jan. 27.—(P. I. P.)—Three decades ago the “wasp-waisted and delicate girl” wore from seven to eight petticoats and various other gar ments and her clothing weighed from seven to twelve pounds de clared Dr. Clelis Duel Mosher, medi cal adviser of women, in a summary accompanied with statistical charts recently received by the State De partment of physical education. Statistics given in the charts show that the fashionable length of skirts has been shortened 12 inches during the last thirty years and 20 inch skirts are common to day. The width of young women’s skirts in the past three decades has decreased from 56 inches to about thirty inches. Stanford women of 30 years ago were about one inch and two inches shorter in height, weighed three or four pounds less, and were on the average older in age when freshmen than the first-year women of to 1 day, according to Dr. Mosher, who bases her statement on measure ments of 4170 women who have at tended the University since that time. TO-KO-LO WILL PLEDGE FIFTEEN MEN TUESDAY To-Ko-Lo, men’s sophomore hon orary orgnr -ation, will pledge fif teen of tin outstanding freshmen on the campus at its next meeting, Tuesday, February 2, according to Arthur Priaulx, president. In 1912, To-Ko-Lo was organized on the Oregon campus. Each year it has better fulfilled its purpose of maintaining Oregon traditions and the traditions of the, order. By conducting the annual frosh parade in the fall and keeping close con tact with the delinquent first-year men, the order has made a definite place in such a line on the Oregon campus. The principal idea of the found ers was to create friendly relations among the underclassmen of men’s living organizations. It has pro vided a bond which lasts in most cases far longer than the under graduate years in the University. Present officers of the organiza tion which now has 18 active mem bers are: president, Arthur Priaulx; vice president, Walter Cushman; secretary - treasurer, Jack Hemp stead; guards, >Calder McCall and Fred Joy. ALLAN CANFIELD TO BE LOCAL P. I. P. A. EDITOR Allan Canfield, sophomore in journalism, has been appointed editor of the Pacific Intercollegi ate Press Association. Two cen tral bureaus of the association have been established, one at Oregon Agricultural college to act as the gatherer and distributor of stories from the University of Oregon, Wil lamette University, Washington State college, University of Wash ington, and the University of Brit ish Columbia. The other, and main office is located at the University of California, which will act as the distributing point for Cftttfornia and Nevada colleges and universi ties that publish daily papers. STANFORD FLUNKS 79; 198 ARE ON PROBATION STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Jan. 27. (P. I. P.).—Seventy-nine stu dents were “flunked” and 198 plac ed on probation last quarter, ac cording to statsitics compiled by the scholarship committee. The freshman class made one of the highest records in the history of the university, with only 11 “flunked” and 63 placed on probation. This indicates an increase in scholarship standings of nearly 50 per cent in the last five years. Use of the intelligence test as an entrance requirement is regarded as an important factor in the raise of scholarship standards. U. H. S. DRAMATIC CLUB TO GIVE ONE-ACT PLAY A east has been chosen for “The Knave of Hearts,” a one-act play soon to be produced by the Univer sity high school dramatic club. The cast will include: The Knave, Lew Harris; the King of Hearts, Dean Condon; Lady Violetta, Em majane Rorer; Llrsola, her serving maid, Juanita Kilbourne; the Chan cellor, Clair Cooley; Cooks, Roy Ford and Bill Black.

P.)—John Phillip Sousa,, known as “the premier conductor! sf military music in America,” and j his band will appear in concert here Saturday evening. SOCIAL WORKERS IN DEAAAND AT PRESENT Margaret Creech Explains Phases of Subject At present there is a demand for isocial workers, according to Miss | Margaret Creech, assistant director of the Portland School of Social Work, and assistant professor of sociology, who spent last week on the campus. The social work is given in con nection with the other University work at the Portland center, and regular credit is awarded for it. Girls who are interested in tak ing up social work, of which there are many branches, including county welfare work, medicine and hospital work, and family case work, are given professional train ing in the branch they choose to follow. The regular course given for social workers takes one school year to cover. Three years of col lege work is required for enroll ment ip such courses. Four years of college is preferred, Miss Creech states, but in exceptional cases girls enroll as special students with less than the required amount. The first term deals with the the oretical and continues into the practical through field work. The two first 'terms are divided be tween actual study and field work. During the third term the student studies With a definite aim in view, under the supervision of a specializing agency. At the ehd of the third term she should be capable of holding a position as a regular social worker. Instruction in these courses is conducted by special lecturers, who are familiar with the problems of such work, successful social work ers, and in addition the regular University instructors. The students that enroll crfomej from all over the country, MJiss Creech states, one being from Hon olulu. Upon graduation, the work ers are placed in Oregon, Califor nia, the east or middle west, or wherever there is demand. The Portland school of social work, which has been organized about six years, ranks with the first seven schools of this type in the United States.
