MORE people must see the es sential distinction between the turbulence of youthful en thusiasm and the turbulence of youthful passion.—Rollo Walter Brown. The University’s Financial Problems 1MIERE is nothing at all extrava gant in the requests of the Uni versity board of regents which will be presented to the state legislature at its present session. The actual needs of the University insofar as financial matters are concerned en compass more than a library, an in firmary, and old-age pensions. With the legislators facing the trying problem of keeping the ever growing state budget within the practically static income, the Uni versity must trim its requests down to absolute necessities. This, we be lieve, has been done. The inadequacy of the present library has been an old story, grow ing more apparent with each in crease in student population. Con structed in 1906, the building was probably able to accommodate the 326 students then registered. Al most ten times that many students are finding the building sadly out of keeping with their numbers, and the congestion has hardly been al leviated by use of the Condon hall annex. University work is badly crip pled by unsuitable library condi tions. Little can be done to improve matters until a now building is erec ted to meet modern demands. The need for an infirmary may not be ignored, either. An epidemic of mumps on the campus last year indicated that the present building is altogether unsuited to permit ade quate cure of more than a dozen patients. Student accomplishment is closely related to student health, and it is folly to concentrate on one and forget the other. The suggested faculty retirement fund is not a new plan, it is already operating successfully in several states, and its adoption is being suggested in many others. There is no good reason why in structors who have grown old in service, especially those to whom the passing years have added noth ing as teachers, should spend their last days in the classroom. The meager salaries they receive surely do not permit enough savings dur itig a lifetime of teaching to make retirement possible. Certainly the etatc would do as much for its teach ers as many factories do for then work men f We antieipate the possible sugges tion that the students be ealled up on, through increased fees, to aid in carrying the financial burden. This plan is under consideration at Ore gon Agricultural college. 1C wover, fees chnnot he raised any more here without forcing out of the University many dtserving students. Figures of the United States Bureau of Education show that student fees at the University of Oregon make up more than one fifth of the institution’s income. As a percentage of total income fees play a bigger part here than in any other coast university, and are larger than the average for state universities. While the average per centage in the 39 state universities is 12.-11, the percentage here is 21.75. the average fee for each stu dent enrolled Oregon again leads the coast with $S3.10, while the na tpdfal average is $70.71. This is ex clusive of the $10 a. year tax for buildings which will become state property. This fee included brings the average to $94.98 a year. The very fact that more than 60 percent of the students in attend ance at the University arc partly self-supporting makes it evident that the student tax load will not bear increases. If relief is sought through adding- to student financial burdens the practical result will be the closing of the institution’s doors to those of moderate financial means. A Foreign Student On Americans THE article which follows is re printed from the communica tion column of the Stanford Univer sity Daily. It was written, insofar as we tan ascertain, by a Japanese student who seems to have a faT better insight into America’s ways than have most Americans. We hardly join tho editor of the Daily in his introductory note which commends the letter in spite of the writer’s “poor English.” We defy nny expert in the Queen’s English to make out a better case than this: Several first impressions of Amer ica—A boy coming from Ear East. Frankness of America— They are hospitable. They cannot tell a lie. They are young and vivid in spite of age. They do not proud of their talent. They are sentimental, not rational. Motiveness of America— They love motion than thinking. They love action than meditation. They love athletic games. They invent and > produce many ma' hine, but no theory. They have few artist and men of letter among them. They have music and story in then' enure u out no religious atmosphere. They like to memorize number or figure and apt to make conclu sion by statistic process. Pragmat.icness of America— They are practical and pragmat ical. Experimental psychology makes it progress. Astronomy, the same. They make pragmatism. They make great improvement in economic sphere. Capitalism is in its best in this country. Democraticness of America— They respect individual person ality. Everything settled through the majority of the people and the psychologists says that the ma jority- of the people is ignorant. They have no majestic regulation or authority to make the society - a stable condition. Democracy is in its goal in this country, future of which is in the mist of the unknown, and Russia or Italy shall afford cer tain bit of suggestion. Happiness of America— Everybody has the opportunity of education. They have never pained for star vation. They shall never worry- about for losing their position without hope of regaining. They can make themselves child like. They have no absolute labor prob lem in this country. As I cannot write English well, I am obliged to write in this way. Do not too quick to be offended about what 1 have written but if you are so kind to discuss over this as a theoretical problem I will think over again.—T. Shudo. “International Kook Review” Off Market Publication of the " Internation al Book Review,” a magazine of eritioisms of literary works has been stopped, and hereafter readers of this magazine will be unable to get it at the library. The magazine was put out by the publishers of the Literary Digest, j ami has received much favorable comment as a literary magazine. 1 he circulation of the magazine was so small that the publishing was not profitable. TttSEVEN WHY IS IT THAT THE GIRLS WITH THE MOST UNGAINLY LEGS USUALLY INSIST UPON WEARING THE MOST ABBRE VIATED COSTUMES AT A FAN CY DRESS PARTY? The Modern Grocer, a trade pub lication, asks for letters and ar ticles from successful grocery men on how they have corrfe by their success in business. A few things the articles will not contain are: How many lodges and clubs the grocer belongs to. How many babies the merchant makes an effort to kiss and make over during the year. What churm he belongs to, and how he would be willing to become a member of several more if it were permissable. What clubs and civic organiza tions his wife is a prominent mem ber of. * # • COLLEGE GRADUATES MAKE GOOD MONEY (Headline in Daily Californian.) Yes, the money is probably good enough all right, but it’s probably more a case of quantity than qual ity. * * # CAMPUS STROLLING Jack Hempstead running to class. Maybe there is going to be a de bate. Second-term freshmen just be ginning to undergo the growing pains of sophistication. Edison Marshall, Oregon’s own novelist looking over the campus again. He looks like he would be a good fel low to go to a New Year Eve party with. Carl Williams smiling at all the girls. He’d like to be a second Pug Toole. Pug prided himself up on knowing more women than any any other man on the campus. What has become of the Stetsons that Freddie Martin inaugurated last year? SONG OF A SEASICK PASSENGER “I ATE SOMETHING ELSE BEFORE I ATE YOU AND I’LL EAT SO M E T III N G AFTER YOU’RE GONE.” The Journalism shack seems to have its share of romances along with the other schools on thei cam pus. The latest is the Eply-Dudley case whieli came to a standstill thb past week end. We’re'rather glad it’s over and hope they will soon be themselves again. * * * THINGS WE’LL NEVER SEE 1. A holiday that comes on our heaviest day. • 2. A program at the McDonald in which Sharky Moore does not fea ture himself. "I'M AFRAID I’M FALLING BEHIND,” SAID THE OLD MAN AS HIS LAST REAR SUSPEN DS BUTTON GAVE AWAY. TIIKRE is a MAN in one of M V classes, bftt YOU may think that IS nothing unusual AS there may be some IN a class of yours TOO, but this man WORE the very SAME necktie all OF last term and IT got to be quite A joke among the MEMBERS of the class ■ AND we all laughed j ABOUT it. Well, WHEN Christmas came I WE thought he would 1GET one from some of HIS relatives, but ON the first day of SCHOOL there he was BACK again with the SAME tie, and again we LAUGHED, but I have DECIDED that the laugh IS on us for maybe the MAN has none of the KIND of relatives that GIVE neckties for Xmas AND if that is so you KNOW how lucky he is.

They do not hurt my throat in the least and are very soothing to my voice. When Caillaux Speaks, the World Listens His clear voice is inspiring, his throat ever in perfect condition AS one of the outstanding public men in France, Joseph x\. Caillaux depends upon the power of oratory in ad vocating his ideas and in swaying his colleagues. To safe guard his voice is his constant aim. His favorite among cigarettes is Lucky Strikes, both for finer flavor and throat protection. Lucky Strikes have become the favorites of men whose priceless voices thrill their audiences, as they have with the millions because, first, they afford greater enjoyment and second, they are certain not to. irritate even the most sensi tive throat. The world’s finest Turkish and domestic tobaccos, prop erly aged, perfectly blended, give them their richer flavor. But in addition, a costly extra process—toasting for 45 min utes—develops the hidden flavors of the choicest tobaccos and at the same time removes all “bite” and harshness. Smoke Lucky Strikes. They give added pleasure—you’ll like them. “It’s toasted" . Your Throat Protection
