On the Future of The New Magazine The Emerald hastens to take back whatever unkind words may have been said in the past concerning the attitude of the executive council towards a new campus magazine. With a fair trial promised for the magazine there is no room for objection. All praise to the council for its change of attitude. Needless to say, a large portion of the campus will rejoice that the University of Oregon is to to-nce more sponsor a maga zine. After several years of no-magazine-at-all the need for this "type of publication has become forcibly evident, and we may assume that a full understanding of the worth of a maga zine, peculiarly enough, brought about by its absence, will be sufficient reason to insure a jealous guard of its future. It is to be hoped that the new magazine will not become too specialized; for instance, the new magazine, unlike Lemon Punch, should not contain humor alone. It should not be a dry so-called “literary” magazine. It should not be merely a story magazine, and it should not be a house organ for the various departments of the University. Rather, this new publication should portray the very quintessence of the undergraduate ' spirit in whatever forms this spirit finds its best expression, be it stories, articles, essays, pictures, humor or poetry. The magazine must be a popular magazine, in the sense that it appeal to a large portion of the student body, yet at the same time should not merely blindly cater to the mob taste. Any publication, by its very existence, has a strong responsi bility to guide into proper channels the tastes of its readers. This is true of a newspaper, or of a magazine, and the newly authorized publication is no exception. It is to be hoped also that the new magazine will have a mind and a soul; a mind in the sense that it will enter vigor ously the arguments of the day, and that it will be aware always of the thoughts and the actions of the undergraduate body. It should have a soul in the sense that it possess a per sonality—■’that it contain within itself a distinctive appeal peculiar to no other publication, here or elsewhere. Resting with the future editors and managers of this publi cation is a large responsibility and a large (opportunity. We trust they will make the most of it. , Commun l ications To tho Editor of the Emerald: T, like many other students, was interested to learn that tho Exe eutivo Council had granted tho pe tition for a campus magazine. T, also, noticed that a name had not been selected for the publica tion, and would like to suggest that the new magazine be named for the former fun publication "Lemon Punch.” The use of the already familiar name would be of great advertis ing value :us it would suggest tho type of magazine and identify it with the University of Oregon. “Lemmy” was a good magazine and failed only from lack of fin ances. The name is distinctive and is ns much of an institution as tho University itself. May the magazine meet with in imitable success, and 'uphold the high character of the former “Lem on Punch.” Yours, A STUDENT. To the Editor of the Emerald: Thanks to the Executive Council the University is to have a maga zine. To name it is another prob lem, for it should have an appro priate name. Why not call it the Webfoot—-a name by which tho University is known from const to coast and by which all Oregon teams are ac knowledged on their trips. It seems that thus far no suitable nomen has been satisfactorily judged quito significant of the University and its ideals. To me Tigers, Boars, Bobcats and Cougars are as far from being a representative name for the respective schools for which they stand ns a fish is representa tive of bird life of today. To me the Oregon Webfoot has a tinge to it that smacks of something dis tinctly Oregonian and I have so far seen none or heard of any that com pare with it as a desirable signa-, turn to affix to our new publica tion. Lots have it “The Oregon Web foot.” INTERESTED STUDENT. Yearling Track Men Hold Tryouts Today Today is the day of days for the Freshman track aspirants ns the Yearling squad will bo picked this afternoon. All of the events will be run off, according to Bill Hay ward, starting promptly at 1:30. The first four men in each event will comprise the squad but as many of tho men have not rounded into shape there will probably be no fast times turned in. Any of the men who do not make the squad should not be down heart ed, Bill says, because as soon as a man is able to beat any of those on the squad lie will take that man’s place. Several good throws should be handed in in the weights as tho Fresh have some of the best weight men that ever heaved a shot, discus or javelin in this part of the country. —Pay Your Fees— CAMPUS !

QUICK. A CUP' THEY’RE TAP PING IT!” SEVEN SEERS. .^Chameleon Ja/nes To the Sporting Editors, Emerald Optimist Men, Dear and Respected Editor Men: You sporting guys devote too much of your time to writing about football and baseball, and box fighting, and golluf, seems to me, and too little to the greatest na tional games of them all—poker and electioneering. Why not have the boys cover really excitnig draw poker contests that are ocurring almost contin ouslv, ag it were, in all our fra ternity houses? Cover it like you would a track meet and describe adroitly some of the local politici ans permeating the smoke with lies, and do it in a good, snappy way. For instance, a good draw poker game could be written up about like this, mixing gollufing, ^baseball, track and tennis altogether if you want to, so that any of the boys on your staff would feel at home writ ing at a poker game: “The Fraternity Foursome Pok erists got together on a four-hour bout last night and put more lead into a game that cost the losers plenty more, even than is usual with this famous quartet of experts on stud and cut-throat. “Bill Smith took the deal on Round 1, passing a couple of color ed ladieg to Sam Jones, a bob-tail flush to Make Brown, three two spots to Jake Jones and four aces to himself. “Sam Jones opened for half a smacker, Mike saw him and raised him a buck, and Jake Jones went a buck better, making $4.50 down and Jake and Jones to go, which he did by calling. ■Jones canea ior a reaeai m favor of Lee Luders and a new pack against the Alpha Chi Omegas —Luders signaled the support of Gamma Phi Beta to anybody who supported her. Fran Morgan called a foul and asked to see the yard sticks. "Johnson and Staley suspected a new entrant and called for time out. It was Bolser who withdraw when he saw the cards. Despite the interruptions, the Umpire di rected a continuation of the game. “On the draw Sam Jones didn’t better his negro pair any, but threw in a buck, to make it good. Mike Brown, having filled his bob-tail, raised a simoleon and Jake Jones, still holding a triplet of deuces, thought he’d hold somebody to the ■mat by raising it to a five-spot, which Bill Smith saw and went 10 round smackers better. “This stymied Sam Jones at the second hole as it were and he took the count with a niblick. Mike Brown raised 20 bones, and Jake Jones, being knocked cold by the 20, lay down on the m!at beside Sam Jones and listened to little birdies sing. “This put it up to Mike and Bill to stage the main event. “Bill uppercuts Mike with a half century bill, and Mike came back with a left-hoolt. in tho shape of a century note. “Bill handed out a short-arm jab with two centuries, and Mike promptly countered with a $500 yel lowback. “In turn he was made groggy when Bill plastered him with a grand, and toppled over. He man aged to stagger up at the count of nine, however, and called, while Bill remarked that they’d better set ’em up in the other alley, while he raked in the coin and passed the deal over to Sam Jones.” Get the idea, Mr. Sport Editors?

They offer some pointed minor suggestions, but they are too engrossed with looking at the machinery to see what is wrong with the machine. So it has become one of the grandest of college traditions for the editors of college newspapers to point out at some time during the year their pet peeves against the educational system. Wherefore the editorial, since the traditions must be respected. The zest to see what waits around the corner, the urge to know what lies back of it all, the love of strong life, these are the things we believe a college^ or university should faster in its students. At least a college career should not take these things away. Yet that is the result of four years on a cam pus for most students. If we are allowed to keep this zest, this urge, and this love, wo may be trusted to pick up some in formation for ourselves. ^Revision of curricula and grad ing systems are the reforms most often urged by educators. We think those are minor reforms. Nine-tenths of the faculty mem bers who teach us respect as many taboos as did the pagan priests. In the fields of political theory, in sex, in prejudices of race and reli gion, in problems of capital and labor, in the truth about wars, na tional heroes and shibboleth's—to mention but a few—in these we are told what is thought will be good for us tb know. Then this learning is given us in predigested lumps lacking in educa tional vitamins. Our instructors for the most part are not leaders in ed ucational adventures, in sallies in to life. They too often do not make their subjects live for their classes, do not command the respect of their students, are neither willing nor able to live the strong life them selves. Colleges, in short, are devitaliz ing. They make us want the soft things in life. They take the hair off men’s chests and put goggles on their Tyes. When we are given our diplomas and are ready to leave the campus we are more ready to compromise with life than to battle with it. We ask for a look at life anl are given a lecture illustrated with pretty colored lantern slides. We ask for learning and get petty les sons to memorize. We ask for light and the curtain is pulled back only so far as it is thought safe for us to see.—Ohio State Lantern. UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, April 21.—Senior guardians of the peace have been appointed for the coming year whose task is primar ily concerned with the traditional controversy between freshmen and sophomores.

TON, Seattle, April 23.—(P.I.P.) — A camp fro women majoring in phy sieal education in the University of Washington will be established on Hoods Canal, one of the state’s popular summer resorts, and will be open from Septeni 1 to 21. This is reported o be he firs camp of its kind instituted on the Pacific Coast, asd the purpose is to give the women actual experience in physical education work through participation and leadership in campcraft. —Pay Your Fees— Donnelly (Continued from page one) “What kind of work?” she said in answer to the reporter’s ques-1 tion. “Oh, a great variety of work.! Many of these boys, particularly the Chinese, make fine house boys; some are dishwashers; some work in restaurants, and some are jani- j tors.” Besides the Filipino and Chinese j students, Mrs. Donnelly said there are two Bulgarans, six Australians, one Korean, one Bussian, and one | student from India. “Not many of them, are sent by : their countries,” she said, “as many persons suppose. There are four l government Chinese students, but the majority 'come on their own.’ ”| “Do the foreign students ever feel that they are being discriminated against?” Mrs. Donnelly was asked, j “No, I don’t believe they do,” she replied thoughtfully. “Mo'st of them feel that if there is any discrimination against them, it is in a large measure their own fault. I. always tell them they will be re ceived in the spirit in which they come. Of course, many persons are narrow minded or ignorant, and re fuse to let themselves associate with Vie foreigners. If they would only realize that these students aTe the cream of their own countries, they would not be so quick to judge. If an American graduate went to Chi na, for instance, the Chinese stu dents he knew here on the campus would be the first persons he would look up, and he would get all the help he could from them to further any of his business enterprises, so I see no reason why he should shun them here.” Mrs. Donnelly believes the situa tion on the Oregon campus better than anywhere else on the coast. “Of course, we do not intend to take undo credit. It is smaller here, and consequently the problem is easier to deal with.” —Pay Your Fees— OJSISJS15I51EI3J3I5I31S13I3ISI3MSI5I3ISISE15. “THE CHURCH PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE” Sermon Sunday 11 a. m.

Frank Fay Eddy at the Unitarian Church Sunday Morning at 10:45. Soloist Robert McKnight A study of the history of religion liberty, based on Henrik Van Loon’s Book “Tolerance.” An inquiry into the significance of the present anti evolution crusade to suppress the expression of phil osophic interpretaton of scientific facts. Unitarian churches are uniting in defence of freedom of thought and expression. It is a struggle in which Unitarians feel they should lead because Unitarianism is the product of free thought and is colored through and through by the insight and the revelation science has given regard ing the universe. Our pulpit is a free pulpit. Our minister is expected to speak boldly, without quibbling or evasions. University men and women are always welco'me at the “Little Church of the Human Spirit.” H3I5J3 DEAREST ANNE: Am in the best of humor due to the fact that I recently exca vated a box of McKillop’s as sorted candies from behind the pillows on the davenport. It’s such delicious stuff—all kinds and flavors and is always so popular that to preserve it for ones own selfish use concealment is absolutely necessary. Had the best canter this morn ing with Gertrude. Since her re turn from the east she affects real tailored things and succeeds in looking awfully smart. To day she wore one of those new Dobb’g Cross Country hats—soft felt and so appropriate for rid ing. I was awfully tickled when she confessed she got it at Leti tia Abrams in Wetherbee-Dens more’s balcony now there is hopes for me. * » * Sarah May has invited us all down to Newport for Sunday— they have a lovely summer home and we’ll have just gobs of fun. To honor the occasion I am go ing to don the cleverest little tweed suit conceivable. It’s real mannish — that strictly English type — Wetherbee- Densmore’s certainly do carry just the right things “pour le sporte” for they combine style and service. We discovered the best drink for parties—J. Hungerford and Smith’s fruit juice that is so concentrated that it only takes a small portion with water and ice to make a gallon of punch and a delicious punch is the re sult of mixing several flavors— cherry, lime, lemon and rasp berry are just a few of the fla vors Underwood -Elliott’s carry —it certainly is a time saver for dances. * * * Have been bemoaning the fact that I had no suitable dress for golf until I recently discovered that Berg’s smart Chumley frocks are available right here in Eu gene. They have the best look ing two piece sport dresses and also carry those new ultra mod ern suit scarfs. Ruth Cyrus has them just a block and a half east of the Tri Delt house—1360 East 20th Avenue. * *' # Saturday was Bab’s birthday and I didn’t have a thing for her and was rather worried until I discovered the lovliest, hand painted parchment cards in the Aladdin Gift Shop. Was re lieved and pleased for she is just artistic enough to revel in -the unusualness of these novelties. * » * Am planning a luncheon at the hotel next week to announce Kay’s engagement. Following the recommendation of everyone I have put the decorative ef fects into the hands of Raup’s— Eugene’s most capable florists. I hope it will be a success and am happy to think I can rely on Raup’s for perfect service. Bill has been pestering me for a snap shot for a long time so the other day chancing to dis cover a kodak finishing depart ment in the “Little Shop Around The Comer” — purchased some films and do hope the poor boy’s desire will be appeased when he has them developed there. Going to the Junior Vod-vil this week-end with big bad Bill and must have that “snappy ap pearance” so went down to the Co-ed Barber Shop which is be tween the Co-Op and the T.W. C.A., on Kincaid street for wind blown hair cut—they certainly are the rage now. The man who did it was telling me about their Fitch D.R. shampoos that are sc^ good for your hair. Then to complete that “snap” I stopped with Hasting Sisters for time and had the most won derful water wave you have ever seen—Bill won’t recognize his date Saturday night—so I guess I’ll just have to make myself known and see how surprised he will be. * * • We found out that the An chorage puts up basket luncheons and so have planned to go up the race next week some time and you don’t have to order them very early either. They can pack one in a few minutes. Till next week, CAROL.
