All Hail to the Faculty And Student Council The writer has just returned from a meeting of the Colloquium, facul ty discussion group, where for two tours your editor and several other ■tudents for the first time in the history of the University of Oregon enjoyed the privilege of listening to the discussions of an official facul ty meeting. The Colloquium, while not pos sensed of the powers and jurisdic tions of a regular faculty meeting, is a faculty committee of the whole serving the purpose of a discussion group. • • • The outcome of the meeting and indeed the meeting itself was en couraging to all persons interested in bettering the scholastic tenor of the University. By calling the meet ing the faculty has signified its sym pathy with student wishes for better conditions; by a large attendance at the meeting last night the fac ulty demonstrated an active inter est in theso affairs, and by appoint ing committees to investigate and make recommendations on the vari ous points the faculty has demon strated a willingness and a desire to assume its sharo of tho burden. From every viewpoint tho faculty’s action is deserving of the heartiest congratulations. Somo may wonder: Will tlio vari ous points merely be pigeonholed in the various committees? Is the in cident closed? We say no. Enough students and faculty members are actively inter ested in the outcome of tho move ment to insure action from the sev eral committees. The move to hot ter scholastic conditions is not mere ly an idle flurry, but is ever present in the minds of educators. Suffi cient substaneo in the whole move ment will practically insuro definite results. • * • Incidentally, the presence of stu dents in the Colloquium meeting is of itself significant. Tho Colloqui um voted to admit the students, and the students once admitted held their peace like all well mannered young people should. Perhaps in time tho faculty will seo fit to ad mit at least the press to their for mal meetings. Then we shall all rejoice, indeed. • * • Tho action of the student council in officially recommending, earliir in the day, that the administration consider carefully the student re port, is in itself of no little signifi cance. This action is a definite ges tuie—a declaration by the organized student government of tho Univer sity that henceforth the students as a body are going to consider eve folly alt measures dealing with the administration of their own educa tion. * * * Tlijg attitude, which may appear a bit pretentious by some, is taken bv no other student body on the l a „'fic Coast, at least. Oregon stu dents, right or wrong, are pioneer ing in this field. To many the stu dent council action will appear as a most encouraging indication of a future time when students, col.ec tivoly and individually, will divert their attention from present campus trivialities to matters of significant importance. Wfcy should Oregon students of all ethers on the Coast interest them selves in these matters? That is a most interesting question, one whicn the writer is unable to answer. Per haps it is becanse onr interests, by virtue of a small town, are foenssed „n the University. It may be the result of a remarkably close knit organization of the Btudent holy, or perhaps because of the unusual free dom of action and speech enjoyed by Oregon students. • • • At any rate, the situation is ex ceeding hopeful and fraught with all manner of possibilities. May good fortune accompany the faculty and student body in their new venture. • • * A Confession of Long Repression With only one more issue of the Emerald before publication for 1925-26 ceases, your editor would like to rid himself of a thought which has long raged within the editorial breast. This spasm can do no good, change no conditions, and perhaps will not even evoke a solitary “amen,” yet here it is, a personal testimonial: I think co-education is one of the world’s worst inventions. I think a separation of young men and wom en in colleges and universities would do more towards increasing intel lectual activity within institutions of higher learning than all the cur riculum roforms ever invented. “The poor yo have with ye always,” says the Good Book, and I suppose it’s the samo with co-education in state universities; but that does not alter the fact that the combination of adolescent boys and girls in colleges is conducive to an economic waste, poor education, fiddling of time, and particularly in the spring months, loads to a disorganization of all the mental faculties. Several months ago in one of its lighter moods the Emerald suggest ed that tho girls in O. A. C. and Oregon be moved to Corvallis, and the boys in both institutions bo transported to Eugene. After tak ing inventory of the tragedies of the past season the Emerald bolieves that the above suggestion has ceased to be funny. Therefore, in view of tho abovo facts, tho writer suggests that all men attending tho University of Oregon be given a life pension for | their great beneficence in tolerating the women. ; CAMPUS Bulletin^ Crossroads will meet tonight at tho usual time and place.

Local People Quizzed On City's Advantages A questionnaire survey to find out what people of Eugene think about the city as a place to live was recently conducted by two mem bers of David E. Faville’s class in business advertising, Joseph Cere ghino and Herman Oakes, in order to get talking points for an adver tising campaign. One hundred and two people were questioned. Some of the reasons given fo liking Eugene as a place to live were: the climate, friendly people, good churches, scenery, good busi ness conditions and closed Sundays. The criticisms were: lack of em ployment, poor water supply, closed Sundays, situation of depot district and lack of parks. The suggestions offered to attract moro settlers to Eugene were: ob tain moro industries, advertise the town to a greater extent and have more places of amusement and parks. CAMPUS .mm Biographies of Famous People! Ponce de Leon. Ponce was bora at an early age in a small town on the hemskirts of Madrid principle city and friho lee market of Spain. AB a young lad he was allowed to run around loose and with nothing covering his frail body save his bright Spanish shawl and button shoes. His father was a Bull fighter of the Swift Packing Company, that is, he rep resented their interests in Spain, receiving their isteaks and chops free of charge, with the mustard thrown in for good measure. Since he was the youngest of seventeen children his opportunity for physi cal education was exceedingly mea gre, the only exercise he received was driving home from the meadow his father’s jumping beans. ..At an early age he showed a liking for the public fountain which in real ity was later destined., to bring him fame., and—an., early., death caused from eating California grape-fruit sold under the name of Florida’s Own. . * * * Between meals would find young Ponce at the drinking fountain playing with the dainty senoritas endeavoring to ascertain the ele ment of everlasting youth. One day in particular one charming lit tle girl curtly remarked, “Ponde you think me wild but I’m not.” Ponce forgetting himself retorted with, “So’s your old man.” This caused excitement among the towns people for they at once realized that a genius was bora among them and they straightaway sent young Ponce to a school for bakers hoping that the education would develops him into a town wise-cracker, but which ended in complete failure for such was not Leon’s ambition. His ambition was to discover if possible the Fountain of Youth, whether it flowed from a large necked ginger ale bottle or from a hand-crocheted hot water bottle. * * * During the adolescent years of his life he lay dormant meditating upon the idea of eternal youth and “Many Marriages” by Sherwood Anderson, finally being granted per mission to lay his egg-shaped plan before Elsie Bolondron the Spanish Dancer and Queen of Spain. He persuaded the Queen to purchaso a buck-board Studebaker Wagon and rowed across the Atlantic tying his sturdy sea horses to an isolated | creek and together with his men, I commenced an exploration and in vestigation of Tammany Hall of which Governor A1 Smith was hailed as being all wet. He and his men were royally entertained at a Night Club and Ponce himself was intro duced to several members of Flo Ziegfields bathing beauties and as a result of this fortunate meeting he dated an entrancing baby out ; and opened up a bottle of condensed youth, the pair being later arrested by the police for disorderly con duct and disturbing the peace of New York after nine p. m. Ponce was given a thirty days suspended 1 sentence with the alternative of | leaving the city immediately with ' his gang of fortune and youth seekers. ... I Procuring a cork barge, loading hla men and supplies on board, he set sail down the Mississippi River j keeping a close watch for new ter ' rltory to lay claim to and inciden tally reap the benefits of a little 1 livin’. After many days and sleep ness nights due to chronic dispep sia he and his little band, all sax players by trade, sailed into full view of Florida. Docking the barge he inquired of an innocent feminine I bystander the nearest way to a soft drink establishment. At this moment one of the worthy sailors asked Ponce if he was going to Tampa with his newly acquired friend whereupon Ponce -lvew his muzzle loader and transformed the awkward one into a holy corpse. The men realized that Ponco meant business and respected him accord ingly. All went well until Ponce arrived in Miami and set up his real estate flags much to the envy and anger of the other land robbers. The town was the scene of rlotrflis confusion, women running here and there begging, stealing, and even shop lifting soil enough to fill their flower pots. Ponce wus met by the mayor, a fat corpusculent indi vidual from Hot Springs, Iowa, who Insidiously remarked that Ponce had a beard like a hair mattreee and went so far as to attempt to Induce Ponce to consume the po tent concoction that has since made Florida and Havana famous, and in truth exterminated the lives of several nationally known beer poli ticians, namely William Jennings Bryan. Lydia Pinkham. and Little Lord Fauntleroy. * * * That evening he was summoned to appear at the municipal court of Sassafras to answer to the charge of selling and claiming land in the name of Alfonso the Bilious without a real-estate license issued by the Guild of Land Robbers. Drawing a bye Ponce was again released on promise that he attend regularly the Xiittle Mothers Club held every night in the Ambassador Drinking Room. Society -woke up to the fact one day that the man who had really placed Florida on the map, was Pince de Leon, and a national anthem was composed in his honor, the title of the composition being “Miami You Owe Me Lets.” Ponce was popular in society affairs but nevertheless did not give up his hope of discovering the Fountain of Youth. Reeling home to his abode one dark night after a hotly con tested crap gam? he staggered up on a foursome who uttered queer sounds, and guzzlings as if the necks of the bottles were too big around in circumference. Peering into the group from an advantageous point in a banana tree he saw four young people tipping up a five gallon cider jug, drinking long of its con tents, shuddering, making ghastly grimaces and chokingly say, “Gosh, but that’s good.” Ponce, a liquid admirer from the very start, joined i the rally and soon learned to his great delight that the fountain of youth came from a goose-necked bottle and not from a spring in the hill-side. Grabbing the nearest hot mama he proceeded to throw the bull with much dexterity and reach ing for his snuff and obtaining his stricknyne instead he expired in a few moments. A great composer in his time, Ponce de Leon soon after and probably to this day is one of the many decomposers. A more detailed description if his high life can be bad in a book of true con fessions by his right hand man, Emilio Guatemala. Samara and Botanists Hold Informal Meeting Members of Samara, honorary bot any organization, and students of the botany seminar held an informal joint meeting, in the form of a lawn party Tuesday night at the home of Miss Ethel Sanborn, instructor in the department. An advanced paper on Linnaeus, famous Swedish scientist, who was cne of the first men to take up the study of botany as a pure science, was read by Gladys Moeller, senior in botany. Discussions by the seminar stu dents dealt with botanists of note. Their work this term has included a complete survey of the leaders in this science, starting1 with the Elizotomi, or root gatherers who were in existence as early as 400 B. C. A study of herbals, treatises on plants for medicinal purposes, and the later periods of history wherein botanists have been inter ested chiefly in the subject as a pure science rather than in its rela tion to human ailments is being com pleted.

Subscribe for the Emerald Foreign Student Tells Of Life and Sports In Russian Colleges “No ‘fussing facilities’ are neces sary in Russian universities. Our universities have no campus around them, and until recently we have had no co-eds.” Vladimir Rojansky, research fel low in mathematics, proffered this information, a friendly smile on his lips. “There were before the war only about 20 higher educational insti tutions in Russia and they are prac tically all in large eities where a campus is out of the question. “High schools have courses run ning through seven years, covering the freshman and sophomore years of college. A man who follows up his high school education doe3 not do so with the expectation of hav ing a good time.” “What kinds of games do they play at Russian universities?” “We don’t have intercollegiate athletics at all,” was the quick answer,” a few clubs in the coun try have soccer teams but universi ties never have organized team?.” “What do you think of the root ing at football and baseball games? ’ “I was rather surprised,*’ Mr. Rojansky replied, “when I first heard the yelling and saw the actions of the spectators at the games. ?ou see, we never root at a game in Russia, and it was strange indeed, that first acquaintance with the 'American fan.’ “I once went up to British Colum bia,” he continued, “with a friend. ■While I was there I saw a cricket game. The English fan acts more as we do. He sits there with his pencil, keeping score, and occasion ally vents his enthusiasm with an exclamation like: ‘Bally well done, old top.’ “I play tennis myself and I would not want anyone hooting and howl ing at me when I was playing,” Mr. Rijansky added with a laugh. Vladimir Rojansky is working for his master’s degree, which he expects to receive this year. Gene Vidal Accepts Position as Coach To Assist McEwan Gene Vidal, ex-army football star and for three years assistant coach to Captain J. J.
