This answer, while given honestly no doubt, is probably open to more or less question. During the last few years even casual followers of the housing situation at Oregon have noticed a growing tendency for seniors, and often times juniors or underclassmen to move out of their fraternity houses into private homes. When asked why the change of residence the student invariably replies, I moved out so I could do a little real studying.” If questioned closer the student will usually explain that too many intru sions,’too much noise, and too much sociability were the chief reasons for his inability to devote proper attention to the chief work at hand, the studies. At first thought this might appear as a healthy condemna tion of fraternities; but upon more mature consideration it follows that the trouble lies, not with fraternities, as institu tions, but with fraternities as living quarters. That is, fratern ities as they are constructed and maintained today, do not permit the student to carry out his scholastic activities without sufficient freedom from interruption. In fact, it appears t a fraternities are too poor to provide satisfactory living quarters and study rooms. Quite frequently charges are made that fraternities are ex travagant; that too much money is spent in the construction of houses. In all probability the situation is quite tte opposite. Most fraternity houses cost in the neighborhood of $1,000 per person, or $35,000 for 35 people. A house of this sort provides a decent exterior, a comfortable lower floor, but usually offers very little in the way of study rooms and living quarters. In the average fraternity house two people must dress lounge and study in a room no larger than many cells. Furthermore the room probably opens directly onto, a hall from whence at all times of the day and night come disturbing noises from die other thirty or forty people. Small wonder that the casua student feels little inclination to seek the silence and repose of a quiet study when he or she knows that the quiet haven will probably result in a gainless bunk-fest before long. Surely no one will deny that surroundings have an appreci able effect upon the mood of the average young man or women. And when one contrasts the temptations for a studious evening in the average home with the attraction for study m the average fraternity house the difference is at once apparent. In one there is quiet and freedom from interruption. In the other there is noise, and constant interruptions from persons that apparently believe that brotherhood assumes an utter dis regard for another’s time and occupations. Some day fraternities will come to the realization that the real function of a fraternity house is to provide a satisfactory place to stndv. When that time comes, the houses will be con St meted with more attention to living quarters, and fratemn tics at the same time will pay more respect to the rights of peace non-interruption and the pursuit of quietude. When that time comes one of the most legitimate objections to fratern ities will have been withdrawn. i Heaths f j ^ — •REX—first day: “Off the High way,” with Marguerite de la Motto, John Bowers, William V.

Five others. Tubby Graves, base ball coach, who will start soon on a new two-year contract; Enoch Bagshaw, football mentor, Rusty Callow, crew coach; Hoc Edmund son, basketball and track; and Wayne Sutton, football assistant, also received raises, effective Sep j tember 1. An appreciable increase in coaches’ salaries was made. Salaries of the University of Washington coaches have been be low those of other schools in the past because of a rule which for bade a coach’s salary being above that of a dean of a college. How over, the faculty consented to change this to keep paco with the rapid growth of athletics. Tk SEVEN SEERS AS THE OREGONIAN WOULD HAVE US: “A SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL.” A NEW CAMPUS SPOET Another sport has beeome popu lar on tho campus almost over night. It is known as bathtub golf and is called such because a tub servos as the links. Already at tempts are being (made to have the sport placed along with our major athletics and in fact a competent coach is being looked for now. Here are the fundamentals of the gameff the opponents line up at the slop ing end of the tub and each player simultaneously releases a golf ball. The balls race down to the other end and the first one to lodge in the drain wins. The game as play ed in the Houses is very exciting and bath tubs are at a premium. Even with pennies involved a great deal of money can change hands in a few hours. »' » * I hate to take Sally Out in my Ford; She kicks out the glass Of the instrument board.

XJnathentic News of the Campus We see that the Gamma Phi Stables is about to be surrounded by a brand new lawn and shrub bery. The Chi Batchs,.when asked their opinion as to the proper ma terial to purchase, were unanimous in favor of alfalfa. This, they claim, not only gives a home-like air, but does not stain the clothes. It is too bad they did not start earlier in the season as the present congested condition of the “porch” would be much relieved by the in stallation of a nice “shady” lawn.

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, April 19.— (P.I.P.) — TWo hundred and fifty three students will be gradu ated from the University of Idaho in June, according to announcement by the registrar. This is the larg est class to graduate from the Uni versity. The number of B.A. de grees to be granted heads the list. »tht Chameleon To Arnold Bennett Hall, Prominent Social Scientist Man, University of Wisconsin. Dear Arnold Bennett: It does seem to me, from a more or less careless survey of the situ ation, that a lot of our educators are getting an unnecessary rush of blood to the head concerning' the de linquency of our college boys and girls. Every once in a while we of the student body of the student body of Oregon suffer the expulsion of a few of our fellow students for va riou* causes—ranging from feeding gin promiscuously to any any num ber of other causes. Even radical tendencies toward teachings of the “reds” are looked for in our news paper articles and college debates and plays are being edited and cen sured days in advance to nip the radicalism in the bud, as it were. Why can’t they realize here, and even to a greater degree in other colleges, that the youth of our land, and the youth of every land, must have its fling at radicalism and excess, just as it must get all spot ted up with measles and all swelled up with mumps at times. The way to eradicate radicalism and excess, we of that youth think, is to let the .boys and girls spout it out until they get tired of hearing hemselves talk and act silly, and the novelty wears off and everything. Most of us youngsters head a rev olutionary army of one just to be smart and different, and among our semi-juvenile population the call of a glass of gin and the revela tions of Freud are just like a boil—try to cure it outward and visible signs of it before it has run its natural course, and it will affect the entire system and become in growing. The average college man’s life can be divided into four epochs, namely: Epoch 1, when he becomes .either a pirate or an Indian slayer. Epoch 2, when he transfers his piratical tendencies or his efforts to make the redskin bite the dust into leading his downtrodden fel lowmen into better things, which is the radical stage. Epoch 3, when he gets a vague idea, like the first faint dawn ^>f speech to our cave man ancestor, that mature folks have as much sense as he has after all, and, Epoch!, when he quits his darned foolishness, starts to make a living and turns out to be a good Democrat or a conscientious republican. In the interim, he falls in love several times and makes a monumental ass of himself. I don’t know what ths has to do with you who are about to take over the reigns of our institution, but as a member of a student body that is fairly free fro^p real stringg ent restrictions, I wish you’d tell other university head* not to get hectic when their lads start over throwing the government or imbib ing liquid marathon contests. It doesn’t mean any more than colts galloping around pastures with their ears back, getting their legs all tangled and falling down on their noses. Hoping you’ll like our campus and asking you to restrain yourself when you se$ some of the funny things in our student body and fac ulty, Obligingly, JIM. CAMPU/1 Bulletin!

There is only one Orange-Crush— always in the Krinkly Bottle —and it’s so vastly superior to cheapened imitations that it's well worth fight ing for. Here’s why: To sparkling carbonated water is added the juice of luscious oranges, the delicate flavor of their peel, the zestful tang of the fruit acid found in oranges, lemons and limes, a pure food color, such as you use in your cakes and candies, pure Guests do notice what you serve at a dance—and frosty bottles of Orange-Crush, icy cold, certainly are a welcome treat And boy, it makes a great punch! Buy Orange-Crush across the counter from your neighborhood dealer, or tell him to send you home a case—today. Remember, there is only one Orange-Crush—always in the Krinkly Bottle.
