For the last five months the most competent people avail able on the campus have been investigating the advisability of starting a magazine. They have sounded out opinion on the subject wherever opinion existed. While some disagreed as to the method of starting the publication, practically every one, students and faculty alike, agreed that a need for the,maga zine existed. . . The committee in charge drew up a plan of organization that satisfied the greatest number of persons. They provided for a magazine that would appeal to the greatest number of stu dents ; and they made their plans in accordance with the sug gestions of the publications committee of the executive council. The proposition would become effective only on the condition that 1500 voluntary subscriptions might be secured. T£e stu dent body would be asked for fifty cents for the two issues of the spring term, certainly not a very severe request. And then', lo and behold, the executive council takes the matter upon its shoulders to the extent of deciding that the campus does not want the magazine, that students will not con tribute to it, and generally that the aifair is all wet. The Emerald fails to see where the arguments of the execu tive council are effective, and believes that the council should reconsider its action. While the magazine at first might not be wholly successful, it at least would be a stepping stone to a better publication next year. Concerning the Election Of a President It is well known that, the University is exceedingly disap pointed that Dr. Chase did not see fit to accept the Oregon presidency. Dr. Chase apparently was in possession of those talents that recommended him, most highly for chief executive of this institution. But since it is impossible that this man leave his present duties, Oregon might as well forget the past and start once again on the laborious process of choosing a"°Ofecourse there's an element of embarrassment in all this business. Somewhat like the man who finds himself holding the burlap when he thought he was getting the girl. The first reaction to an affair like this is to explain, “Heaven help us! Will we EVER get a president?” Yes we’ll get a president, but it may take some time. H the regents succeed in signing a man by the semicentennial next, fall the University may consider itself fortunate. The University of Oregon is not the first educational institu tion to find itself on a long fast, presidentially speaking. Ohio State University once went a-fisliing for a president and it took the Ohio trustees ten long years to find a man. Says the Ohio State Lantern, student newspaper: “The trustees cast their line into the pond of possibilities for the 10 years from 1880 until 1893. There wasn’t a bite. A few tasted the bait but refused either because they did not wish to leave the home water or because they did not consider the new place well enough filled with economic sustenance.” Ex-President Hayes was considered. Woodrow Wilson and William II. laft refused the position. Wilson did not accept because “the inducements offered him were not sufficient for him to undertake the ad ministration of the University.” Taft refused because “he said his ambition was entirely judicial although he deeply ap preciated the honor of such an offer.” Another gentleman refused because he objected to praying in public, then one of the president’s duties. Finally, after ten long years Janies II. Canfield, father of Dorothy Canfield Fisher, one of America’s most, prominent women writers, accepted the position. Ohio ,State, incidentally, is one again looking for a proxy. Says the Lantern: “Today the Board of Trustees are out on another fishing expedition.' They didn’t say where, they didn’t say when, and they didn t say how. ' Oregon’s patient and much suffering regents now must go out, after a new man. And the Emerald suggests that they don’t say where, that they don’t say when, and that they don’t say how* Let’s just have a big surprise party one of these days with the new president as the prize package, and (we suggest to the newspapers) with as little advance ballyhooing as pos sible. It will make the selection much easier for the regents. University High Loses To Eugene High 21-14 The University high school plnv ed its last game of the season Tues day night with Eugene high school, in the men’s gym, and was defeated 21-14. The games with Eugene high school are always the most excit ing for the University team because j of the rivalry between the two schools. Tuesday night there was, a din of rooting from the start to i the finish of the game. Principal B. U. Moore, of U. II. &, says that , he has never seen such a display of ' school spirit and pep. During the first half, the Uuiver- : sitv high school team was nervous 1 and missed several foul shots, and at the beginning of tho last half tl\,e score was 11-11. The boys at the University high school who will receive basketball letters this season are Ernest Pow ers, Walter Powers, George Wilson, Hermit Stevens, Norval Libbey, Wade Libbey and Austin Prey. These letters will be given at an assembly in the near future. After spring vacation the cam pus high school will turn its atten don to baseball.

Time’s going swiftly* But why should she care? She simply can’t go Without washing her hair! Hours flying swiftly Along with perfume; She thinks she hears Jack In the living room. The date was for nine But it’s nearly ten; Plenty of time To powder again. At last she is ready Buns down to meet Jack, But no sign of him Or his Cadillac. She answers the phone,, , Thinks maybe it’s Kate; But it’s Jack just reminding “Tomorrojv’s our date!” “This is getting me down,” cried the prof as he backed off the fire escape. FOLKS WE CAN CONSCIEN TIOUSLY KILL The little shrimp who reminds the prof at the end of the period that tomorrow’s lesson hasn’t been assigned. • • • “WAS THAT MY ALARM, OR THE TEN O’CLOCKS LETTING OUT?” KEMAL SPLASHA. Alas, my duty is done, no longer do my sides tingle with circulation nor do I send out little waves of warmth and cheerfulness to my friends, for I have no friends now. My ad mirers of former days no longer linger near me or gather about me and praise me with showers of kind, caressing words. They who once loved to be near me have forgotten and now I am alone and unnoticed. Because I am only a radiator and it is Spring. IT HAS BEEN KNOWN TO HAPPEN A lengthy lesson. . . . Not prepared, Our turn is coming. . . . Awfully scared, The ringing bell.! . . . My Gosh! We're spared! i WIPE THAT SNEER OFF YOUR FACE! SINBAD.

A course in book selection and evaluation will be given by Mrs. Mabel McClain at the University summer session. This course will be in addition to the other libra ry courses which have been an nounced. * 'Chameleon ft To J. E. Ainsworth Johnstone, Greek and Latin Man. Dear J. E. and Old Topper: I have a letter from some person on the campus who doesn’t sign his; or her, name. And the letter reads as follows: “Dear Jim—To settle a bet will you please print in your column if it’s necessary for all successful ar tists, writers, and what not, to be bohemians, and if it is, 'must a bo hemian live on an inaccessible side hill on an unpaved street with no bathtub in the house; and must the house be a shack, and must all bo hemians eat in four-bit foreign res taurants with oilcloth on the tables or sometimes can they just live like other folks?” This communication is unsigned, Ainsworth, and it sounds like a man, but the handwriting is that of a woman, and I’m going to answer it myself, and I’d like to have you inquire around wherever you might be right now and help me out on this. You see, old thing, you’ve been sort of branded a bohemian by the standards of our B.A. school here and I thought you would be the proper person to address in this matter. In the first place being bohem ian is just a state of mind like having brain fever or wondering when the checks you draw on the last party are coming back to haunt you. Personally I’m certain a chap can be just as bohemian in a house with showers and bathtubs in it as he can when he has to scrub him self down with a wash rag and out of a tin hand basin. Bohemia being a state of mind, there are an appaling number of people who couldn’t be bohemian even though they lived in a made over cow-stable because they hav en’t any minds to have a state about. une or rue most suctcaaim wuacm ians I ever met is a lad who gets $250 month from an estate and once wrote a half page article for a Sun day newspaper about seagulls on Sai' Francisco Eay. That’s the only article he ever has written .and probably will be the last one but he has a side hill “studio” and en graved letter heads giving his name, the fact that he’s a “Writer for Magazines,” and has labeled his shack “Pink Gables” and pays just three times as much rent as the blooming thing is worth. He’s openly and avowedly the star bohemian in captivity in the town by the Gate, and he’s far hap piei being one than if he worked for a living, or did any work at all for that matter. But the average fellow who may generally be regarded as a bohem ian would tell you to go drown yourself in the race if you accused him of being one, and inform you with heat that he was considerably much of an American, and I hope, Ainsworth, 'that this is in accord ance with your views and I’m not off my track. Yours happily, JIM } campus Bulletin^ The Education Club—Meeting on Thursday night at 7:30, Educa tion building. The speaker will be J. A. Churchill, state superin tendent of public instruction.
