He is not a candidate, it has been announced, nor have the regents made any election. Whatever the out come of Dr. Chase’s trip to the Northwest, all^e of the Univer sity wish him a most pleasant visit while in Oregon. Needless to say, perhaps, members of the University faculty were delighted to hear that Dr. Chase is to be a guest of the institution for the next several days. Dr. Chase has built up a splendid record in the many positions of trust he has held, and his name is a familiar one to educators. All the Univer sity will concur in his liberal attitude toward education that truth must be at once the keystone and the foundation for all teaching and study. Dr. Chase will find a University much younger than the ones with which he has been associated in the East. lie will, however, find a vigorous University, earnestly striving to achieve the finest in higher education. Oregon, though young in years, is rich in the fruits of her past, we believe, and still richer in the prospects for a brilliant future. We earnestly hope that Dr. Chase will find things to his liking during his stay at Oregon. «D An Explanation of the Football Coach’s Salary The" $8,500 salary paid Coacli McE'wan, newly appointed football mentor, has attracted an amount of favorable and un favorable comment throughout the state. To pay a football coach $8,500 yearly when professors are receiving $2,500 to $8,500 a year, to many a citizen of the state seems manifestly unfair and an unwise expenditure of state funds. To others, a winning team seems a good investment sure to pay for itself in increased gate receipts. A word of explanation may per haps clear up the situation. Captain McEwan, as previously announced, receives an an nual salary of $8,500. Of this sum, the University pays $3,500, the remaining $5,000 being paid by the Associated Students of the University of Oregon. Under this arrangement Coach McEwan receives from the University a salary approximately equivalent to that paid a University professor of experience. The Associated Students recruit their funds from fees paid at the beginning of every term and from moneys derived from paid admissions at athletic contests. This last fall football paid dividends approximating $17,000, all of which went into the student treasuries. As is well known, winning football teams bring crowds which swell gate receipts enormously; and good coaches make winning football teams. While the University does not wish to consider sports in the light of sheer monetary gains, the finan cial end cannot be ignored. From all evidence available, it would seem that a high priced coach, paid largely with stu dent funds, cannot be considered an extravagance. In other words, if Coach McEwan is as good as we think he is, he will pay his own salary. Tuesday Morning Deliberations; Concerning 1 his and 1 hat The University is not alone.in its song problem. A writer in “Tlie New Student” bemoans the wishy-washy flopfoodle in college songs over the entire nation, declaring, “In general, college songs are woefully in need of dry-docking and over hauling. They are too l'lowerily insincere, too archaic in dic tion, too rhetorical and symbolical. There is too much senti mentality and not enough sentiment. And it is sentiment that we need—-the sentiment born of true college feeling. . . . We need. . . the sort of song that you unconsciously hum while you're working, and gather in groups to harmonize over in the soft twilight of long Spring evenings.” It might be well for Oregon to go dry-doeking, musically speaking. Perhaps the new traditions committee can eliminate some of the less desir able songs and secure some new melodies that will be a bit more successful. # • * • A dash of cold water for the light hearted and absent mind ed. A glance at the calendar will prove that the winter quar ter is now practically one-half over. All those who have been neglecting scholastic activities should begin immediately to study or move up to the front row. # “Nt * * The Emerald has a suggestion which may, or may not, be received with great enthusiasm. It concerns the closing hour for formal dances. Before delving into argument it must be granted that an hour more or less added or subtracted from an evening’s dance*, will neither make or break the University, nor will any lives be lost or gained either way. However, you see, it's this way : At a formal dance a man selects his best girl, or a girl selects her best man, and it’s no small occasion. More hearts have been broken and more engagements have been made oil formal nights than the census takers will ever realize. As matters stand, a formal which starts about 9:15, and winds up at midnight, gives all too few moments for the night of nights. The Emerald suggests that the time for formats be extended 45 minutes, thereby making 1 o’clock the deadline. What say, love sick collegians? • • * * Speaking of dances, the Senior ball was a splendid party. • proving that formal clothes are an asset and not a hindrance i to a good time. Proving further that the committee in charge , and the many workers did a good job of it. 1 SEVEN SEERS f ^ -- 1—--<2> LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT “CAMPUS, MEET MISS SPRING” TlfETA CHIS LAUNCH PLEASURE CRAFT Owing to the high water, the I Theta Chi Yacht club was able to launch its new and shining steam yacht, the “Bacon Bun,” from its Twelfth street docks over the week end. This event, which has long been anicipated by society, was the scene of many prominent and influ ential nautical nauticians. As the graceful vessel left its ways, Dick Hoyt broke a bottle of furniture polish over the prow, completely knocking out Bun Epping, who was at the wheel. Jane Bodine and Thelma Parks, who also accom panied the boat on its trip up Twelfth street, were modishly attir ed, as were the other Theta Chis, im bathing togs. At the end of the trip the girls were rewarded by be ing playfully pushed overboard. Epping, young and wealthy owner of the pleasure craft declared when he revived that lie thought it would soon bo safe to take the “Bacon Bun” on more perilous journeys, even hinting that a trip up the race was anticipated! Other signs of spring are the law students discussing weighty problems on the bench across Thirteenth street, and the Sigma Chi gawlfers and pitchers warming up op the side lawn. * * * j Here is poor little Betty Rauch, ! tearing her hair, gnashing her ' teeth and just having an awful ! time. You see the Alpha Phi for 'mal is this week end, and Betty has j “asked” Walt Kelsey, and Walt, the horrid ungentlemanly tiling, went and got the mumps. So what, | oh, what, will poor Betty do now, poor thing? I' However, to please the girls and to make their party a success, Walt has consented to conic anyway. So don’t worry, Betty. CHI OMEGAS HAVE CRIME WAVE! This is the story of how the beautiful co ed butterfly girls came to a sad end. Seems that one of the fair sisters has a super-abundance of wearing apparel, and three of the girls who were envious of , the gorgeous raiment of their sister, said among themselves, “We will snitch these dresses and wear them ourselves to the Campa Shoppe.” So Doris Mel drum and Betty Pratt and Mon nie Parrel, arrayed themselves in the finery of their sisters and betook themselves amid much joyousness to the Campa Shoppe. And here among the \ other females there was much tittering and raising of eye brows when they saw the three in the garb that did not belong to them, and so hot were the glances and so ashamed and humiliated were the three, they slunk away back to Chi Omega house and hid their faces in their hands and the dresses in the closet. Speaking of clothes, Myrtle Jans son and Gertrude Koch are both going about minus their lids. These good little .gfirls both dated ■ the other night, and when Myrtle came back from the mill race, she cried, “Oh, I have lost my hat!” And when Gertrude came back she cried, “Oh, I have lost my hat!” And Gertrude went back early the next morning and got her, hat, but Myrtle will hav,e to wait until she has another mill race date before she can get hers. * » * If you think the column’s been off the last few days, remember the water they’ve been feeding us. Uiiltdijamebott BY JIM To Dean E. C. Robins, Business Ad School: Dear Dean, respected savant, and old top: Now what I want to talk about is serious. It is a professional tip that, if you will grasp it in the spir'.P it is given, will make you wealthy beyond the dreams of avar ice, and naturally I figure that if you get that way you won’t forget the guy that gave you your start. Pardon me for dropping down to the vernacular of the streets, but I can always express myself clearer when I revert to type and heritage. As you know, Dean, the U. S. gradually is getting standardized. Ready-made shoe manufacturers set the shoe styles; readysmade cloth ing folks dictate what we shall wear, and customs tailors trail on behind the ready-made boys. We wear a standard hat, standard makes of union suits and our food supply is standardized—in tin cans mostly. Now comes John Drinkwater, a Britisher who has managed to get a clearer idea of the character of Lincoln and perhaps of Americans than most Americans have and tells the world that the people of the LI. S. A., by some “uncanny telepathic process,” are drifting into a stand ardization of mental habit: that "their thoughts are becoming curi ously monotonous- in contrast with < 2 O X I o c * Y-O-U-R F - A-V-O-R-I-T-E Of Typewriters, Portable or Standard WE CAN SUPPLY Student Terms, $5.00 Down, $5.00 per Month OFFICE MACHINERY & SUPPLY CO. me vijjuiuus unsets ui tneir lives. And he’s right, too, Dean, come to think it over, because law and business ethics unconsciously direct our thoughts, and we have laws de signed to standardize our methods of eating, drinking and everything else. We have laws to govern every subject on earth, and if we get thinking deeply we discover . that line of thought will either lead us into “wanton speculation” or disobeying some law or other, so we cast it aside and substitute stand ard thoughts that won’t get us in trouble. Now what you do, arid do at once, is to make out a lot of charts— thought charts, dress charts, eat J charts, drink charts, sleep charts and all that sort of thing. Patent ’em. Get millions of copies printed pocket size. Chart on how to dress in the morning; how to eat lunch most economically and what; how to drink ice cream soda through a straw—how to do j most anything that the average man would do through ttye day, in j eluding charts on what thoughts it’s better to think—if at all. And we’ll buy them by the mil ! Hons, and get thoroughly standard ized by the charts, and in a month | the average American will think it’s against the law not to think ac cording to the chart and business methods, and you can get them printed in about 19 languages so that the Phi Gams and Sig Alph folks can read them. They’ll wear out fast through frequent'reference and your income ou them will be a couple of millions a year, and don’t forget, Dean, who tipp/ed you off on the idea, will you? As always yours, JIM.

THAT means "Pipa Amoroso” in the Latin, or "pipe-lover” in plain campus English. P. A. has certainly endeared a pipe to more men than any other letters in the smoke-alphabet. Because Prince Albert lets a fellow smoke all he wants to—and makes him want to! Cool as the stare of a marble Venus. Sweet as the approach of vacation. Fragrant as spring blossoms. Think up your own similes, Fellows. You will when you pick P. A. and a jimmy-pipe for permanent roommates. Prince Albert is great tobacco, and that’s not blah. P. A. is sold everywhere in tidy red tins, pound and half pound tin humidors, and pound crystal-glass humidors with sponge - moistener top. And always with every bit of bite and parch removed by the Prince Albert process. Get yourself a tidy red tin of Prince Albert today. Fill the bowl of that old jimmy-pipe to the brim and borrow a match. Then you’re set for some great smoke-sessions, as sure as you’re a foot high.
