S^c-iption rate, *2,5 per Day Editor—Claudia Fletcher Night Editor—John Black Assistant—Finis Fitzmaurice Wanted: An Old Fashioned Revival of Oregon Songs If the newly appointed traditions committee, among its various duties, can stimulate some interest in Oregon songs it will have rendered a service sadly needed. No one likes to wax drippingly sentimental over the dear old songs of the dear old boys in the dear old college days but isn’t it a fact that everyone enjoys a good song test lull ot collegiate sentiment and barber-house harmony? Casting all repressions aside, it must be admitted that a fire in the fire place and a banjo and a collection of rippmgly good songs spreads a charm over an evening that is rivalled by very tew forms of entertainment. ■ . . And while we are making confessions, why not admit that Oregon songs (as they are sung) are not conducive to either barber house or bathroom or parlor harmony. They just aren t sung. Everyone knows “Mighty Oregon,” and most everyone knows one or two more—but how many students can sing a half dozen Oregon songs? , A glance at the Oregon song book will reveal a bountiful collection of songs that are worth singing. Somehow Oregon students have failed to acquire the habit of learning their own songs, and therein they have been the losers. It’s the time now to have old fashioned revivals—why not have an Oregon song revival ? Disappointing the Public On College Morals The Emerald wants to know why newspapers and the gen eral public takes such delight in stories of the wicked morals of collegians. As one co-ed expresses it “You just ought to hear the women at the tea-splashes. That s all they talk about —the rot that’s supposed to be going on m the University. Recently at Ohio State a great, how-do-you-do about the immorality of the students was proven practically without sub stance—but it made good reading for the public while it lasted. Even the venerable “Ladies Home Journal, pious bible of American mothers, in offering a series of articles on American Universities, does not treat education in any broad aspect but is concerned with “Fashions in College Morals!” ^.es, it makes fine reading matter, although the subscribers must be disap pointed to find that the undergrads really aren t going to the devil half as fast as the popular fancy would have it. Another interesting point: The taxpayers will permit municipal or state corruption to pass with a minimum of mur murs; all manner of graft will go in state institutions without much of a hallobaloo; but let the tiniest squeek come from one of the state institutions of higher learning and all the taxpayers are right on hand to look out for their investment. And arc we really bad? No. We may wear funny clothes, and spend too much money, but as far as propagating the doc trines of downright sin, we are mighty poor missionaries. Campus Magazine Up to Executive Council After almost, three months of careful examination of the magazine prospects at. the University, the student committee, after numerous buffet ings, has decided once again that a stu dent’s magazine and not a student-alumni publication is de sired by the student body at large. The proposition is now largely in the hands of the executive council which can act as it sees fit towards the sanctioning of the new campus magazine. The council has instructed the com mittee, under the leadership of Rolph Klep, to present com plete plans for editorial and managerial leadership, and if sat isfactory plans are worked out. there is every reason to expect a favorable action on the part of the executive council. Naturally the council will be cautious in sanctioning a new publication because of the not-too-happy fate of Lemon Punch.’’ The most essential factor in launching and maintain ing a magazine will be student interest and peisistent and cap able management. Judging from the perseverance of the com mittee in charge and the very favorable reception accorded on the campus at large, the new publication may be assured from the outset of a cordial campus reception and intelligent management on the part o! those* most \ italic inteiestcd. lie it lierehv known to all persons interested and disinter ested that the Emerald does not take any responsibility (even to the tiniest degree) for any communications, red-hot or other wise, that find their way into the communication column of the Emerald.

EESOP FOIBLE NO. 11 Once upon a time a great stench was upon the atmos phere, and so great was it, that the land stank. And the peo ples of the Journalism Shack said unto each other, “Yea, ver ily, and this is an outrage!” and they were not able to stand upright on their limbs, but came near to swooning with the greatness of it, so that they became pale, and even green beneath the gills. And in the midst of their tribulation a wise man named Sol stood among them and he waved his his arms and he cried, “Hear ycee! I have good news for yeee.” And the reporters and day editor, yea and even the editor-in-chief, rushed up and cried, “News! News! Ah, at last a news story!” But just as this great pro phet was about to disclose the news, he too turned a faint yel low and swooned gracefully in the arms of his righft-hand maiden Mildred Carr, and was carried to the Infirmary. And the great stench descended up. on them ten-fold so that the Scribes were compelled to has ten for shelter through the door. But as they ran helter-skelter they were heard to say, laying their fingers aside of their noses, “Please keep your bad odors to home. McClure hall.” Moral: When you think this is rotten journalism, remember the atmosphere in which it’s written. ***#*#»>#**** * Question: What would the * * Theta house do without Virgin- * * ia Keating I * * Answer: Serve tongue sand- * * wiehes for lunch every day. * »*»*•*«»***** BJORK 3ft?c Chameleon BY JIM HYMNS OF HATE Probably someone made a slip, and alibis are forthcoming, but we were really on the road to good old Rabelaisian flippancy the other night when the band broke out with “To Hell with Washington.” For sometime now the Alma Ma ter has been in need of a complete renovation of her hymns and dit ties. Why not model her new songs after the fashion of “To Hell with Washington.” Here’s a list that might appeal to the general student body: “Courtesy and Culture,” sung in the satirical major by the entire student body. “Vivisect the Visitors,” this con vivial little title might be appro priate for a song to be rendered only at reception banquets to visit ing teams. * # # But our sense of delicacy gets the best of us and we’ll leave the composition of the song to those who enjoy the pastime. However, Oregon seems to stand alone in this genteel method of forcing her visitors to feel aware i of her might and arrogance. Har vard, Yale, Stanford and Cornell have long ago gone in for sloppy culture and abandoned profanity in their songs. But why should we suppress our sanguinary appetite! We’s just rollicking, ribald roost ers of the bloody west and we must have our cussing. So, off with the repressions and lets go in for the thing to its entirety. If we can’t be nasty enough in our songs, why lets organize a spat ting squad. An editorial in the Daily Californian, official organ of The University of California, re marked sometime ago that the Ore gon Student Body, was the most dis courteous of any it had the pleas ure to come in contact with. That was after the California-Oregon game. Well, if California thinks that after the conduct of the Student Body at the game under discussion wait until we get organized and they’ll be able to feel more superior about it. To wind it up, we might say that after all a certain excess of animal spirits with thoughtless good-humor will often make more enemies than the most deliberate spite and ill nature, which is oh its guard, and strikes with caution and safety.

STETSON HATS Styled for young men | WADE BROS. | | j EXCLUSIVE STETSON DEALERS } ! S EUGENE ft Esperanto May Not Be Practicable but the idea of a universal language is a good one. In the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, scholars and diplomats from all parts of the civi lized world could carry on their con versation in Latin. Until recently, French performed the same service to the polite world. It is now pro phesied that English will be the international language of the future. '■But meanwhile there is a good deal of confusion, and ambassadors from distant countries must frequent ly rely on interpreters. Therefore, it is fortunate for the hungry trav eler that the menus of restaurants everywhere still employ French. And it is fortunate, too, that if he wish to ascend to a higher floor of a building in any of the great cities of the world, the single word OTIS will bring him directions for reach ing the elevator. The Pala2zo del Campidoglio, Rome, is built on one of the seven hills of Rome and at present houses the Municipality of the City of Rome. The original building on this site was a temple of Jupiter in the Roman era, the construction being started byTarquin the Elder and completedbyTarquin the Proud During the Empire of Vitellius and Vespasiano it was burned three times and was reconstructed by Domicien. In the Middle Ages it served as a temple to consecrate the Poets of the time. The present building was erected by Michel Angelo on the ruins of che ancient building, and it contains an Otis Elevator.
