rA Social Lesson
On Turkey Day
!0K. the first time in its history,
the University family will sit
down to its Thanksgiving feast
right here in Eugene. 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.

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.
I'n Thursday the gridgraph will
i be held at li.'Ut at McArthur Court,
where the play-by-play result of
the game can be followed.
