Subscription nta. *2.25 per Sf Manager. 72^ Day Editor—Geneva Drum Night Editor—Ronald Sellers Assistant—Boone Hendricks A Worthwhile Assembly; Dr. Chase; Professor Rugh; Glee Club A triple attraction assembly today will undoubtedly pack the house. Dr. Chase will make his first and only public appear ance in Eugene at which time Oregon students will have the opportunity-of seeing and hearing thia^man who has been elected to fill the office of University president, and who, in his short visit, has made a complete conquest of the campus. Professor C. E. Rugh, from the University of California, a suc cessful educator, lecturer and writer, will make the principal address on “The Study of College Life.” Professor Rugh, a specialist in religious influences in American colleges, is lead ing the religious conference on the campus this week and should have an interesting and instructive offering. The men s glee, always a favorite, will sing several Oregon songs as a part of the movement to encourage the singing of Oregon melo dies. All in all, good assembly seats will be at a premium. • * • • The quaint old custom of booing at the referee at basketball games made its appearance at the W. S. C. game a few days since, much to the joy of all true sportsmen. Really, there s nothing quite so fine as to greet the referee with a few cat-calls and groans whenever a decision is close. It makes the visiting team appreciate the fine spirit of friendly hospitality, and of; course makes the referee feel right at home. Comparatively few students have adopted the custom, but it is hoped that many others will soon fall in line. Of course, the referee is entitled by the rules of the game to call a technical foul on the captain if his supporters make too much noise. That usually gives the opposing team a few extra points. But since we don t care about winning a championship, why worry about a few points 1 Boo right ahead, men—keep up the good work. • • * * When the Emerald made a brilliant suggestion a few days ago concerning the closing hour • of formal dances that the closing time be extended three-quarters of an hour—but one manifestation of interest was received: That dancing on Sun day morning, as woul^l be the case, would be out of order; and that if time were lacking, the dances should start earlier. As one girl has said, “If you walk to the formal you leave home at 8-30 and arrive at the formal at 9:00. If the man has a car, you leave at 8:30 and arrive at 10:00.” Therefore, in light of the campus indifference to late hours, the Emerald suggests that women take less time with the powder and paint in order that a full evening’s entertainment at formals may be enjoyed. # # * # Perseverance, even in newspapers, is said to be honorable and laudable, and is said to be one of the most essential attri butes of success. Therefore the Emerald hesitates not in the least to make another one of its famous suggestions, this^ one, to wit: Whv not call Oregon’s team by the name—Oregonians? Oregon has always shied clear of honoring some animal with our name, but apparently the sports writers are bound that we be given some sort of a designation, with “Wcbfeet” being the preferred title. Some call us the “Lemon-Yellow,” obviously an inane label. Others designate our teams as the Ducks, which, of course, is the logical animal to attach to webfeet. (Hoping our biology is straight). Ducks, however, are unfor tunate animals. Can’t you just hear the sports writers—“Ore gon Ducks Get Necks Wrung—Ducks to Squawk Tonight Ducks to Get Pin Feathers Pulled—Ducks to Have Wings Clipped—Ducks to Demonstrate Home Grown Intelligence To night-Ducks Plan Hasty Migration—” and so ion. Why not steal a march on the sports writers and call ourselves Ore gonians? It’s a good name. • * • # Very shortly the committee of investigation on a campus magazine is expected to present a plan to the Executive Coun cil providing for a permanent publishing organization. If this report is satisfactory, two issues of the magazine, under pres ent, plans, will be published this year. This venture deserves the co-operation of everyone. The need for a new publication is universally recognized, and while the magazine at first may not be all that is desired, it at least will provide a stepping stone for better things in the future. Short Course in Repartee At Faculty Luncheon Repartee via the story telling route was the pastime at a luncheon yesterday tendered l)r. Chase by the University deans. Dean Straub, venerable story teller, led off, “I’m going to tell a negro story,” he said. • • • • “Once upon a time there was a negro who was mightily in love with Belinda from North Carolina. .Tosh, one day, sud denly approached Belinda with warm solicitations that she become lus wife. ‘Merev, .Tosh,’ she exclaimed, ‘this is so sud den.’ ,Ves,’ he admitted, 'but I craves you mightily.’ Belinda -said, ‘I’ll have to think it over, .Tosh, and it may be some time before l can tell you.’ Whereupon Josh replied, ‘That’s all right, Belinda, you just take as long as you want to decide. Yes, you think it over as long as you want to. Don’t hurry. Just take your time—but I craves awful much to know in the meantime what you is going to decide later.’ ” * * * * Great laughter. The deans roared mightily. Said Dr. Chase, “I, too, am going to tell a negro story. It’s about Mandy from North Carolina— * * • * •v_ “Rastus was mightily in love with Mandy, he thought. One day he finally raised the necessary courage. ‘Mandy,’ he stuttered, ‘will you marry met’ Mandy, somewhat flattered, but slightly apprehensive, said, ‘Iiastus why don’t you get enthusiastic?’ Whereupon Rastus, looking into the future, re plied, 'I’se ’fraid I’se said too much already.’ ” | SEVEN SEERS AS THE FRESHMAN SAID WHEN HE HIT THE WATER, “LOOKS LIKE BAIN.” LITTLE FOLKS PREPARE FOB GLADSOME VALENTINE DAY k Following the bidding of the dear 'old 8t.

EESOP FOIBLE NO. 99 Once upon a time there were some funny birds called Aggies. And these birds lived in a place called Corvallis. And the other night they had a big game to play with some creatures from I the land of Pullman, and when all didn’t go so well with the ! two teams, the Aggies would cry. Booooooo!” and try to scare the poor Referee bird from the floor. And they cried “boooooooooo! ” so much and so long, the poor Referee bird II began to ruffle up his wings, and suddenly he realized that I, he was going to need assistance 1 against all that mob, so he gave ' a loud cock-a-doodle-doo, and called a fowl. And the fowl came running to his aid. And when the Aggie birds cried, “Boooo!” again, the Referee called another fowl, and when they kept it up, he kept calling more and more fowls, so pretty soon when there was a whole flock of fowls assembled against the Aggie team, they gave up and didn’t booo any more. Moral: A fowl for him who fouls. BJORK. <5he GJljamelean BT JIM Put in your column every day What pops into your head to say; And if it chance that nothing pops, Then put in what the postman drops. —C. M. Jackson, S. F. Bulletin And if it chance that in the mail Is not a verse that will avail, Then take a rhyme by another per son And tack a rather pointless verse on. —Ted Cook, S. F. Examiner That goes for you who freely wan der From top of page to way down yon der, But today this space has been con tracted And to- “hold it down” drives me distracted. Then we’ll stumble through with this that starts with sentimentality but ends with sentiment: Did he remember the last hours that* they met? The twilight road, the long horizon climbing; A wind that breathed of rose and mignonette; The vespers chiming? Be breathed the words long inarti culate; Warm in her eyes he saw the an swer burning; And while he bid farewell, she swore to wait For his returning. And he? He swore to be forever true. By all youth’s oaths, mad, impru dent— Could she recall? Yes, damn it all! She did. He hoped she wouldn’t. • • Gosh! Here we are at the end already!

Knoll, who took gradu ate work on the campus last year, will return spring term to work for hjs master’s degree, according to a letter received by Dean E. C. Rob bins, of the school of business ad ministration. Study and Observation Of Student Religion Proves Interesting (Continued from page one) ton trial did its share to make athiests for it attached an odor of intolerance and superstition on all religion in the opinion of many un dergraduates. The juniors were found to be a little more reflective. They were not ready to throw over the whole matter of religion as foolish ignor ance, but they were not ready to ac cept the dogma of anyone. The seniors were frankly looking for information. Their minds were not made up and they were investigat ing. At least they said they were when asked, though it is likely that few of them spend much time on the subject. The difference be tween the juniors and the seniors was that a larger percentage of juniors said that the matter was all settled as far as they were con cerned. A number of fundamental ists and athiests were found, as well as a few pantheists, deists, and the like. To go back' a little farther, a com munication last year was sent to the Oregonian declaring that the University is a godless place and that no Christian is safe here. It was further stated that O. A. C. is quite the reverse. This communi cation created a small sensation on the campus. The reason might have been that the students thought that they were being slandered and it might have been that they were being unfavorably compared with O. A. C. The sensation was a short one and little was heard of it the week after the communication ap peared. Jjasc year a series ox leexures were given in the Alumni hall on the subject of religion. Some of the best speakers in Eugene were on the program. Dr. Conklin,—Dean Rebec, Father O’Hara, and others spoke of the side of religion up on which they are authorities. The lectures were fairly well attended but not by the studentB. About half the audiences . were towns people. A further indication of the de cline of student interest in reli gion is that a few years ago, when a few students assembled late at night in a study room, talk flow ed naturally into about three chan-, nels, one of which was religion. It has been my observation that this year and last, the question of the existence of God has been less and less the subject of heated debate. At present Mr. Davis, of the Y. M. C. A. is giving a series of lec tures on comparative religions, Sunday afternoons in the “Y” Hut. These are attended by 30 or 40 per sons, about one-quarter of whom are townspeople. This is a good test of student interest. The lectures were well advertised yet only a handful of students were interest ed enough to come. About 80 per cent of the students register a religious preference at the registrar’s office and the aver age attendance of students at all the churches does not exceed 300. Vespers is not well supported by the student body. At least a third of the attendance is non-student. For all these signs of lack of in terest, the people on the campus who are trying to stimulate student interest in religion on the campus are not giving up. They see signs, which I will describe tomorrow, and they believe that there is hope for a renewed interest. 4* -----O | Campus Bulletin | <>—-—--—-— ^ Faculty women—Will meet Thurs day at Alumni hall from 3:00 to 5:30.
