So the ad ministration, with an emphatic nod from the health officials, has or dained; and so shall it be, for the edict’s teeth are menacingly edged. Substantiation of the emergency measure is found in the opinion of tho public health guardians whose program is periodically jeopardized by vacations even in normal times; and whose organization for the sup pression of the epidemic was, until yesterday threatened with complete demoralization by the dispersal of two thousand-odd potential agents into all parts of the state. The only serious burden of the restriction rests on those families which Have refused to convert Thanksgiving into merely Turkey day. There the disappointment will be acute when the youngsters, many of them for the first time in their lives, will be absent from the cherished event. Graceful com pliance with the regulation in these instances will severely test the gen erosity and public-spiritedness of both parents and students. The pos sible hair-trigger resentment of ■campus folk will be quickly as suaged with the realization of ulti mate gain by their immediate dis comfiture. But the parents who had longed planned for the home coming of their freshman pride will bo afforded scant consolation by the lengthening Christmas liberty. The last minute decision of the University to curtail Thanksgiving holidays and the peremptory ring of the ukase are the most objection able features. Such severe action was not considered, however, until the report of the survey by the health authorities was in tho hands of the University officials. And the brevity of time before Thurs day demanded a quick decision and vigorous measures. The precautionary emergency measuro will, we are sure, be ac cepted by the student body in the spirit iu which it was inflicted— sacrifice for the group welfare. And all things considered, the week-end may not prove so onerous as it first appears. Off With the Dance, Eugene Police Here!

Where does our benign civic officialdom purpose to draw the line in their nosey activities? Books must be hustled into the vaults be fore Bill Thompson’s Eugene disci ples carry their crusade into litera ture. dl'he Intellectual Vagabonds A ppear T TABVAKD. as one of the lead ing universities of the United States, has just made another con tribution to undergraduate activi ties, according to a story appearing in the Christian Science Monitor of a, recent date. This something new under the col legiate sun consists in a practice, now popular with the Harvard un dergraduates, of visiting lectures in courses for which they are not reg istered. Some imaginative wan derer among wider intellectual fields bestowed the name of “vaga bonding” to these adventures be yond the familiar horizons of credit courses and a ’company of kindred spirits joined in the quest for more wisdom. There is a pleasing sound about the term. While the dictionary tells us that a vagabond is a. wanderer, usually lazy and without visible means of support, there is a feeling that bis is a pleasant sort of life. He has no schedule to maintain; no hard and fast rules govern his life. Literature so often pictures the vagabond as one for whom life is filled with zest; a succession of pleasurable adventure. To be able to go vagabonding out side the beaten paths of prescribed courses opens new fields of interest for the kuowJedgc-secking student, for those whose time is devoted to caring for the cut and dried require ments of a chosen major, an occa sional hour spent listening to an in teresting lecture on some subject out of the accustomed range of topics is to add spice to academic pursuits. Ji is, however, lint the name which Harvard has supplied. The practice has long been known on the Oregon campus as is no doubt the ease on many others. It is a good practiee. To give it encourage ment will tend to emphasize the pleasure there is to be found in learning, a factor which is much neglected because of the greater emphasis placed on securing a uni versity degree, which is more an indication of courses completed than of knowledge gained. At present, there are a number of Oregon instructors who appar ently do not object, to the presence of visitors in their classrooms, a situation which is appreciated by a few students, faculty members, and townspeople who sometimes attend as "sitters in” at a lecture. This number could probably he increased if the topics of lectures which might have an appeal beyond the limits of the classroom were to be publicly announced in advance, and much be ; done to add to the pleasure of learn |i»g. —W. C. team winning or losing - and that is the kind we hare here,” he con cluded.
