Fall responsibility SCIENCE offers to men one of their greatest opportunities for the kind of exploring which brings them a satisfying reali sation of existence.—Rollo W. Brown. Bleeding Kansas Redivivus .11 44TTAIR tonic, dandruff, derm JLXutre-e-e; we’re the boys from Lincoln-Lee. ’ ’ Soon, perhaps, with these words, i students at the new Lincoln-Lee uni versity, to bo established at Kau nas Cityy Mo., will urge on their Tootball teams, while gesticulating yell-leaders, brandishing open razors, sail upon them to strain their vo ral chords for Alma Mater. In keeping with the onward march of civilization and educa tion’s stalwart purpose to prepare America’s youth for profitable car eers, Missouri barbers are seeking ai million-dollar fund for the estab 3ishn»ent of a “chair of dermistry” &t the new higher educational insti tution. This forward step was suggested by P. 8. Harris, ,president of a hair tonic company, at a meeting of the Master Barbers of Missouri, last month. Mr. Harris, in subscribing *5,000 toward the founding of the special department admitted that ' darmistry, ’ in cold English means—the barber business.” The gentlemen back of this plan are elevators—they’re going to ele vate the barbering profession. It has been agreed that barbering should be on a high professional plane with engineering and law, and '.t is in the interests of the craft, -»s well as liali) heads, that the great project has been started. Mr. Harris’ analysis of the ills of the present barber colleges shows an admirable grasp of the problems of higher dennistry. He said, in part: “If the barber business is to be elevated along educational Hues, you must start with a broad er foundation—and such a. foun dation its 1 have in mind cannot be laid in a few months or a few years. Merely placing safeguards around existing Barber Colleges wrill do very little good. While their promoters are doubtless men of good intentions, for financial reasons, most sueh schools aro founded in the cheaper districts of the great eities, and very often attract what might be termed an undesirable class of students—stu dents without the foundation of a high school education — young men who too often enroll in such schools, merely as a last resort, as a sort of a retreat, if you please, from the reek pile; schools Sffording no inducements to the young man with an ambition to huild something worth while along either educational or better busi ten linos.” The profession needs new blood— njen of refinement and culture, who, 10 doubt, will apologize gracefully whenever they absent-mindedly put he lather in the customer’s mouth, ind who will talk to the man in the •hair not of baseball and traveling nen, but of current trends in Rus lian drama, or the subject on which ;he Master of Dermistry wrote his hesis. The world, of course, is expected ,o profit by the sweeping reforms n the profession. “There is no excuse for a bald lead,’’ said Mr. Harris (who manu factures hair-restoratives). “ Sci entific training, such as a chair in he university could give, would pre rent it. “Barbcring is a craft and should >e uplifted. The title of doctor of lermistry, or dermdtist would not ic strange. A dean of dermistry is not improbable.” Now why should the new Lincoln Lee university bo offered the first •hair of dermistry in the world? Let Mr. Harris answer: “Here is a great school in tho making—a school with a board of trustees of national repute — a school that is looking for the bet ter things of life.” Hail the new educational ideal; hail the master dormiitists of Lin coln-Lee, but shed a tear for bleed ing Kansas. Defilers of The Holy Places OW comes the new fundamen -L v| taUs't-modernist controversy. The standpatting Pontiffs of Pig skin are on the defensive, worry ing lest their hold on the heavenly kingdom be shaken through the ef forts of unscrupulous apostates to undermine the popular beliefs. Bet ting favors the fundamentalists. Says the New Student: “The job of tearing one religion from the hearts of a people and sub stituting another in its place is meeting a fearful fate at West Vir ginia Wesleyan university. Presi dent Jlomer E. Walk of that troub led institution proposes to abolish the salary of $500 a season to the eleven high priests of pigskin and to use the money for a new chair of Christian theology. Pigskin de votees have already begun the in evitable rumpus. Sinister* hissing greeted Apostate Wark at the chap el services. Rumors of a student strike are bruited about in the dorm itories. We will be greatly surpris ed if catstrophe is not in store for these defilers of holy places, es pecially since true believers all over the state are becoming enraged. For, after all, the world has never before witnessed apostasy on such auda cious scale. It is as though Martin Luther had exhorted Christians to espouse the rites of the vile Turks. ■ At this early stage of the eontro | versy President Wark has been i hanged in effigy by unknown stu j dents. Well, less audacious iunova | tors have fared much worse in otli j or times.” Commun ications A Graduate’s View To the Editor: As a graduate of the University .of Oregon please let me congratu late the rerent work of the Inde pendent Undergraduate committee. Many graduates feel, 1 urn sure, jta 1 do, that you are tackling a problem which has long needed a solution. Some of us feel, perhaps over vgotistically, that a different op eertunity might have encouraged in as an attitude closer to that of wear so-called “student” class. I have long and arduously de plored the present fashion of eval unting a college education in dollars and cents. Many times 1 have turned in dis gust from an assembly speaker, or perhaps an editor, who had no more vital information for us than that our college education would pay in dollars and cents. “Good courage’’ to vour commit tee in a big undertaking. JESSIE O. TODD, Class of 'll2. Mathematically Correct Dear Editor: Yes, Mr. Editor, both you and Mr. William Schultze are quite right in your reasons why you think that the library should not be closed during the assembly hour. It is human nature to resist being pushed and the. obnoxious idea that all registrants, graduate and under graduate alike, should be forced to TfcSEVEN SEERS 0MIG0SH1 WHAZZIS! WHAZZIS? Two seemily good Phi Psis have gone astray, alack, alack. Can these be our very own Jims? The follow ing story was found in the Satur day Guard telling of the recent ac tivities of two well known stu dents and journalists. EFFORTS TO IDENTIFY TWO SUSPECTS MADE Fingerprints and photographs of James. Manning and James Rogers, arrested here yesterday as suspects in the robbing of the Veneta rail road depot the previous night, have been sent to Portland authorities in an effort to determine if the men are wanted elsewhere. Clothing and other articles found on the men have been identified nm having come front the Ilill and Cushman store at Cushman which was entered last week, • • • Rumors afloat which say that Manning has squandered some of the funds of the Oregana, which he is managing, and has in this way set about to make them up. Fraternities are having their fun these week ends and each Monday sees a fevf less pledge pins on lapels and a few more badges on vests. Ten years from now those who be come insurance agents will still be wearing them on special occasions. • * * But to get back to the present, the freshman shouldn’t kick. They have a lot to be spankful for. FRESHMAN SONG Oh fate may shape our ends, Rough-hew them as we may; But upperclassmen keep them warm When they begin to play. THE WAY TO PICK OUT THE BEST BASKETBALL TEAM NOW ADAYS IS TO SEE WHICH HAS THE MOST COMPLICATED ME THOD OF WARMING UP. The warmer weather of this week has brought about another ehange in things.

CAMPUS STROLLING Little Miss Greer motoring around with an empty front seat in her limousine. Some good boy who likes to go riding as well as Abbie Green did should take advantage of this. Another frosh without a green lid. I’m getting used to it, however, for in the words of the intelllegencia “what are traditions anyway?’’ A cow going down 13th avenue in a truck. Did you ever see anything that looked more helpless? If we’re not all cake eaters before long it will not be because the Col lege Side -Inn has not done their best. NOT MANY MEN CAN GET THEIR PICTURE IN THE SO CIETY SECTION, BUT GEORGE I TURNBULL IS AN EXCEPTION. “Are you going to hear Elly Ney.” “Oh I didn’t know she .was a attend the weekly too-many-timea boresomo assembly is surely just cuase for objection. However, there is another factor concerned which the administration has probably over looked. The gymnasium portion of the as sembly room in tho Woman s build ing will seat approximately S00, the dance room about 350, and the bal cony also near 350, or in all about 1500. The absolute maximum seat ing capacity is 1583. The total num ber of registrants on the campus is now 3993. How can they all attend! We did not consider the faculty, towns people and others who attend in small numbers. Does it not seem that to attempt to force attendance at the assemblies is rather futile! The attendance at the assemblies now average about on thousand or approximately one-third of all the registrants. Keen if the assemblies do not im prove in their interest, the keeping open of the library would relieve a lot of just dissatisfaction and would undoubtedly cause an appre ciable increase in the number of occupied chairs every Thursday at 11:00 o’clock in the Woman’s Gym.

I am very careful about my choice of cigarettes as I must have the blend which is kindly to my throat. I smoke Lucky Strikes, finding that they meet my most critical requirements. Werrenrath’s Thrilling Voice Hoiv He Safeguards it by Smoking Lucky Strike —Because "It’s Toasted” VAST audiences enjoy Werrenrath’smarvelous voice. They are always delighted at his clear, perfect tones. 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, sec ond, they are certain not to irritate even the most sensitive throat. In smoking, he prefers Lucky Strikes because they give the greatest enjoyment and throat protection. 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 minutes—develops the hidden flavors of the choicest tobac cos 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
