Day Editor This Issue— Torothy Baker, Night Editor This Issue—Floyd Horn Assistant Night Editors— Warren Tinker Variously Styled Days That Aren’t So IT has not been so long since the j Emerald was, fn sonic section or , another, referred to tile maxim, “give a dog a bud name and liang it.” Again wc are confronted xvitti a situation at which a dog-iianging, we deem, would not be inappropri ate. in short, we are averse to the term Dad’s Day. All the many ramifications of the University organization are uniting in a concerted effort to entertain, as guests of the students and Uni versity, all the fathers of students here than may be induced, cozened, or coerced to attend the get-together on the twenty-eighth of this month. Of course, it is plain that fathers should have .the welfare, if not ot their considerable cash investment, at least of their flesh and blood at hi art enough to see how fares the University life. But inertia is ef fective even with fathers. Thus he must be baited with a Day. No doubt the Emerald is hyper sonsitivelv cranky concerning the label chosen for the event. Wo must confess to have lately narrowly es capod apoplexy when we read a harangue from an apostle of extreme Burtonisin to the priests of the neck tie counters. He measured with neat fingers the sentimental value to the haberdasher trade of Dad’s Days in the volume of neckties trnnsfpr-) red from idle Christmas stocks to the idle paternal rack by means of the commemoration, .lust look, he cried, what Mother’s Day has done for the florists! Such dislllusioniiigs as to motives disturb the ingenuous Emerald. We have grown skeptical. Tf fathers have not, it is merely because they are too preoccupied with keeping their fledglings in the collegiate nest. There is nothing we reiterate, of more potential mutual benefit to both fathers and students than such an intimacy as the proposed program will foster. And there are material advantages to the I'niversity along with the more important intangible values. We are enthusiastic for father’s visit, But we shrink from the Flor ists’ Dav and the Necktie Jubilee that are not so styled. It it must be Dad’s Day, let there be no con fusion about the matter. It is do* filled, then, that the event on the twenty-eighth is ideal D for Dad. On the Subject Of Taking Ways ‘0 quote from nil old song: “The ! A gross is always greener in the j other follow’s yard.” Such would seem to be the theory held by those ((.liege students who can not resist the temptation to carry home sou venirs of the different places they visit. The sophomore class at U. 0. L. A. gave a dance at a country club about ' the middle of December. A smoking stand, a table, and if.'i-t worth of other articles were missing from the clubhouse when the dance was over. Threats and appeals resulted in the return of the smoking stand last: Thursday. The other articles were still missing at last reports. Obviously, the university officials of I’. Ij. A. are not directly re sponsible for the affair, nor can all the members of the sophomore class lie considered guilty, yet as long as the remaining articles are not forth coming, the innocent as well as the guilty must share the, brunt of the blame that is directed at. the entiiMh uni versif y column nTi y. Wib the exception of last term’s' lilts with thi' Kugcne police over the subjects of serenades and supposed-' ly insufficient. lighting for the Sophomore Informal, t'niversity of Oregon students, as a group, have nut made themselves known through the police news. It is desirable that the condition be continued as long an possible, something which may be done if due care is exercised. This is the season for fraternity initiations. Hard-working commit teemen sometimes find it desirable to set the initiates to bringing back evidence of the extent of their noc turnal prowling. The selection of tin evidence is not always made with due consideration of the rights of the owner of the particular bit nor is its removal always achieved with out damage to other objects. A certain amount of horseplay and indulgence in stunts seems to constitute an integral part of col lege fraternity initiations. Opinions as to whether or not such should be the case are based on a matter of individual tastes; but clearly, there is no justification for the required theft: of private property, regardless of its apparent value. Xo thinking trnternity man can truly believe that such a requirement makes a pledge better fitted for admission to full membership. \V. 0.

A great silence suddenly swept up and down Thirteenth street, traffic came to a halt, chattering co-eds stopped their giggling conversation, and handsome college men forgot the lighted cigarettes in their mouths. Miracle of miracles—Ebie McCutcheon was walking down the campus alone, without Clare Black. Sort of a case of a Phi Delt with out his Theta.

T. O. DINNER GUEST IS THROWN IN TUB It conics to a pretty pass when members of one house tub a mem ber of another fraternity, especially when he is a guest for dinner. It happened, though, to Harry Wood, famous football hero at the Phi Delt house, when he was taking on a little (it’s always just a little) food at the A. T. O. fort. It seems Harry took three pieces of pie, used improper language at the table, didn’t wear a tic (thought he was home), nsed linger to load fork, and used cream to cool coffee. A trial followed and Harry was about to be acquitted, when he sud denly plead guilty. The penalty had to be imposed and it was a tubbing. | ALL'S WELL THAT KM'S WELL ; A certain (omitted) will tell, When having a loquacious spell, Of having the chance l At a real leap year dance, Of the much noted snowball in Well!

Endurance Flyers Say Plane Working Fine (Iiy United Press) HAN F BAN Cl SCO, Jan. 17.—Af ter nearly 1- hours in the air Cap tain Charles Kingsford-Smith and : Lieutenant George Pond, who are attempting to breuk the world air \ plane endurance record, reported by i radio tonight that their plane was performing perfectly. i ■ 1 Rapid-Fire Replies « To Curious Queries ' The Inquiring Reporter Asks from Campus folks selected at random, one question each day. Replies are directly quoted. Today’s question: Do you think the idea of working for credits and grades is a hindrance to student education? Dt. F. (!. Schmidt, head of de partment of Germanic languages and literature: “I think that our credit system accumulated by the installment plan is a curse for higher education. It is just as bad for grades. .Students don’t concentrate enough because of facil ity with which they can accumulate credits in all departments.” Dean George Rebec: “ I think that the splitting up of courses into little courses, each graded and credited, is an-impediment t^ edu cation. There should be the grade for those in the third and fourth years, however.” Cyril Holton, freshman in busi ness administration: “I hardly think so because the student is in school to learn what he can but it all depends on whether the student has to obtain a degree or not.” Donald Smith, freshman in pre law: “I believe the student feels that after he has made so many hours of credit, he has done some thing definite.” William Haggerty, junior in jour nalism: “It’s the only method that has been devised to cheek the work of students. As long as students are limited to taking certain sub jects, credits are indispeusiblc.” Howard K. Zimmerman Is Ousted City Attorney ASTORIA, Ore., Jan. 17— How ard K. Zimmerman was summarily ousted from the office of city at torney by vote of the city commis sion Monday night and James Ij. Hope was appointed to the position. The commissioners gave no reason for the change. Mr. Zimmerman was at one time president of the University of Oregon Student Body and has been city attornew for over four years. New Rule on Dribbling Does Not Take Effect STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Jan. 17.— (P.I.P.)—Contrary to, igenoral opinion, the rule passed last year by the basketball rules committee, limiting the dribble, does not take effect this reason, as was at first intended. When the rule was made in April, 1927, there was such a storm of , protest from coaches and players kroughout the country that the ules committee met again, and de ided thst the new rule would be eferred for the 1927-28 season. It .•as asked, however, that eoaches all over the country try out the new rule, and after careful considera tion, send in to the committee their suggestions as to how it will affect the game. Dusty Rhodes’ Free Throw— or Fame for a Day They didn't expect him to make a point. But he made a free throw. And that free throw was the cause of their winning the game. I he crowd went wild and more girls wanted to put their arms around Dusty’s neck than he could accommodate. Fame! And after the game Dusty had a few team mates around to his rooms. He served them “Canada Dry.” It made a big hit—even bigger than winning the basketball game. More fame! This ginger ale has a delightful flavor . . . tang to it . . . dryness . . . sparkle. It has a subtle gingery*flavor because it is made from pure Jamaica ginger. It contains no capsicum (red pepper), and nota bene it blends well with other beverages. “CANADA DRY” lit ,. t\ s. r.bu. “The Champagne of finger -Ales'’ Extract imported from Canada and bottled- in the V.
