Glancing Over
What the Regents Did
ECINIVE University business
was transacted at tlio meeting
of the regents last Saturday. The
new men’s dormitory, construction
of which was authorized, will in
crease the dormitory accommoda
tions to care for 523 men, according
to the report.
Available living facilities to lie
opened in the fall removes the last
obstacle to improving the frater
nity situation on the campus. Ore
gon 's archaic method of rushing,
unsupported by inadequate housing
conditions suitable for students,
must soon give way some one of
the superior plans now in use
among all progressive institutions.
The plan of the administration to
ultimately house all freshman stu
dents in dormitories is not, as it
might first appear, a usurpation of
fraternity fulucition. Jn fact, us
the situation is at present, frater
nities here are interlopers in the
legitimate University domain. And
if the Greek-let ter groups here do
not recognize it, their more fur
sighted national officers do. This
is witnessed by recommendations of
the national inter-fraternity con
clave which endorsed restrictions on
first year pledging.
With the time when all freshmen
at Oregon will be so accommodated
actually in sight, the campus inter
fraternity council may take forward
steps with confidence.
* # # * * *
The placing of a tell dollar fee
for each term of "Imnehead” En
glish ppts a premium on high school
grammar and theme-writing. This
new ruling is a master stroke.
The Emerald trusts that the En
glish department will not find teach
ing high school courses at. ten dol
lars per head so attractive that their
attitude toward preliminary quiz./,
papers will be affected. This move
reminds us, however, of Harry El
mer Barnes’ suggestion for a high
fee popular college which would
support the serious intellectual
body. We could suggest other
courses to be dealt with in the
same fashion as English A.
Increase in gym fees of a dollar
for each term does not strike a
correspondingly happy response.
This now makes a total compulsory
physical education payment of
twelve dollars.
There is no question that present
facilities are by no means all that
are desired. The fee increase, how
ever, is more in the nature of a
building fund or expansion move
ment than a maintenance require
incut. And its tux fulls on every-1
one it I ike while its benefits are liin- !
ited to a select' number who are
most interested in and fitted for
use of the equipment. It’s well to
make students play. But it’s a]
little s eye re to make them pay too
much for compulsory exercise.
Three dollars each term is too
much. i
******
All in all, hearty congratulations
are, due the regents who expedi
tiously furthered several worthwhile'
ineasures. And, perhaps, even more j
[credit belongs closer at home: in
the faculty, among the department!
heads, and to the Vniversity offi
cials who initiated the proceedings.

\]I7‘IIAT a delightfully entertain
“ * ing person is the individual

Hint, we may be prepared for what

There are times when the pur
veyor of gratuitous information can j
be pardoned. These arP the times I
when a knowledge of the outcome
of some super-advertised super-pro
duction would justify our feeling
that it was all rot and that we
might as well go elsewhere in search !
of amusement. Hut strange to say,
our friend possessed with informa
tion is seldom present in an active
capacity at such times.
There is probably no other single ;
factor which so detracts from the I
serious enjoyment of an artistic i
performance, whether it be on the
concert platform, the dramatic
stage or the more popular motion ■
picture screen, than the near pres
cure of a talkative individual dis
coursing, on the coming sequences of
the play, of the private lives of
the various performers or of the
fine bargains to be had on sale at i
Blank’s.
A rich reward should be given to
anyone who can devise a means of
curbing the talkative ones. Such
a discovery would be a real boon
to a suffering public. That the
method will be long in forthcoming
is likely since the devotees of the
practice seem possessed with skins
of asbestos, impervious to scorch
ing looks and caustic remarks. Un- '
til the hoped for day arrives, we
will continue to suffer and to
breathe maledictions on the ones'
who know all about it.

FAVORS MORE ATTRACTIONS

Dear Seers:
I think I voice the opinions of a
large number of Oregon students
(or I wouldn’t ask to take up your
valuable space) when I say that
something should be done to pro

tennis matches, etc., on nights of
dances.' As it was, I know time

a good many people Saturday night

Frosh Glee started.

We have turned the matter over
to the proper authorities for con
sideration and we feel certain that
a committee will be appointed to
remedy the situation. It is possible
that an effort will be made to
schedule some more conventions for
such nights.

Today’s question: What do you
think is the value of a national elec
tion for students?
Louis Dammaseli, sophomore in
sociology: “It is a fair way of
getting people on the campus to
thinking about national affairs. It
stirs up interest on the campus and
everywhere.”
John Creech, freshman in biology:
“I would vote for whatever I want
ed to and like the idea.”
Bob Foster,' junior in journalism:
“I think it is a good idea. Student
opinion carries a lot of weight with
the public. This will perhaps work
up interest on the campus on ques
tions of importance.”
Bill O’Bryant, junior in eco
nomics: “As long as I am such a
great authority on this subject, I
don’t know whether the students’
opinion is good. They are some
times inclined to be flighty on such
subjects. Few give the subjects a
second thought. It is a fifty-fifty 1
chance and with 50 per cent of them
giving their opinions, thought gets
a show.”
Arthur Sehoeni, Junior in jour
nalism: “For some, politics are not
interesting, but for others the elec
tion will be a diversion. Xot many
: of the students vote anyhow. The
ones who do vote will vote which
I ever way they think best. I think
the liquor question is, of course, the
important one coming up.”

Gentlemen:
I am a veteran of the Edgeworth
army, still in active service.
I make this claim, challenging all
comers, to have smoked Edgeworth
and nothing else but Edgeworth (when
it was possible to get it) for a longer
period than any other person within
the scope of your territory.
I have smoked Edgeworth for
twenty-one years and will soon start
on the twenty-second.
I’ll admit to having tried other
brands, includingso-termed high-class,
high-priced blends and mixtures,
enough to appreciate and satisfy my
self of the superiority of Edgeworth.
In all these years I have never had
one can of Edgeworth that varied in
flavor or otherwise.
Yours very truly,
