Day Editor This Issue—William Schulze Night Editor This Issue—Rex Tussing Assistant Night Editors— Mil Prudhomme W. J. Loundagin FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1928 Poor Representation Given in Council Action "ITTlITLlj! tlio executive council is » » considering the “validity in relation to its cost,’' of the TJ. P. wire service which it suspended from Emerald use Wednesday, students are feeling its loss. Meanwhile an error has crept into the recommendation of the publica tions committee for temporary sus pension which was passed last Sat urday. The recommendation ns stated was for a discontinuance of the service for a probational period of two weeks; not “until such time as the council shall see fit; to restore it,” as it was reported from the ex ecutive group. The council is legally within its jurisdiction in its action, but to say that it voted “to accept the report of the publications com mittee” is inaccurate. As the matter stands—the coun cil’s testimony notwithstanding—the IT. P. fur the Emerald, as far as the council is concerned, is “em balmed and stowed away in the ground,” as today’s correspondent objects. Thcro was nothing tem porary, as was clearly the sense of the publications committee. Pacts arrived at by Emerald in vestigation challenge the allegation of the council that students “do not care for outside news” which foriped the grounds for suspension. A truly representative group of campus men and women queried on the subject indicated that a major ity of thorn not only found the world news helpful but were eager to follow international and national developments through this medium. It seems to simmer down to the conclusion that while most persons read of world affairs, some have convenient access to other dailies while many more read no other but the Emerald. The interested group is much too large, however, to be deprived of the service without con siderably curtailing the usefulness of the Emerald. if on thorough investigation it were discovered that devotees of world news were few and uncertain, the Emerald would heartily dispense with the service. l!ut the students, we think, by the hasty action of their executive council, have been poorly represented, and as a result will bo less adequately served by their daily until wire service is re stored. No Monopoly On Being Bothered IN a series of short editorial para graphs, the editors of the Uni versity of Washington Pally inform their readers of a number of sub jects which have been, and still are, causing them concern. Under the heading of “That Bothers Us—,” they make a pointed remark or two about a variety of subjects,, among which are: the gen eral public’s opinion of the net in telligence of tho average college, boy; tho appearance of Will Durant and Kirby Pago in Seattle under auspices other than those of tho University of Washington; tho al leged craziness of people who fol low superstitious practices; tho slowness with which Union Build ing funds are being raised; compul sory training in- tho art of war while no efforts are made to teach methods of preserving tho peace; tho insistence on a clean election in Nicaragua before the variety makes its appearance in the United States; and the overloading of cam pus activities upon a few willing workers. Tho Oregon campus is faced with the same general problems, but in varying degrees. Wo'protest the conception of tho college boy as exploited by the motion pictures. It represents a life too good to bo true and therefore a damning por trayal. Tho life of a eollego student is, or should be, too filled with things of vital interest and importance to permit concern with ancient super stitions. Tho Daily editors aro right. As for raising funds for a student union building at tho present time, we do not wish to think of it. Wo aro still busy scurrying after means with which to pay for McArthur Court, to use tho official title. As for bringing tho best of lec turers to tho campus, that is being done in a fairly satisfactory man lier by the student body. This year’s series have proved popular and well attended thus far. Tho question which arises in this connection is whether the receipts will pay for the series or will there- be a deficit, as was the case last year. Tho why of compulsory military training is a question which Oregon shares with Washington. Although there is reason to believe that regu lations here are not us strict as at the sister institution, it is a mat ter for conjecture as to how large the corps would be if tho work were to bo made optional. When a majority of the votes cast in tho recent campus poll were opposed to the policy of armed in tervention, it was made evident that Oregon students failed to see good and sufficient reasons for tho forci ble supervision of Nicaraguan elec tions. As for student activities, anyone who is up to his neck in work can tell you that it is not all that it is “cracked up to be,” but why he does not let some other slave do the job is another matter. Yes, Gentlemen of tho Daily, that bothers us—too! ■—W. C. , Commun ' ications ^ .I11 -a— Suspension of U. P. Unjustified. To the Kditor: The kindly lii”h mucky-mucks of tin' m'IiooI sharpen, d their executive axe yesterday ami figuratively chop ped off the head of tho 1'nitt‘d 1 dess in the Knit raid by voting to discon tinue it. The students didu’t read it; they took tho Oregonian and Ouard ami got their world polities and outside news from them, tho progress fiends said, and the money ('about $lo a week) was wasted by having direct wire news from the Luitisd i’ress. Supposing all of these allegations are so, why all the deep, dark so ciety; tile mystery surrounding the execution.' Their plot broke on the unsuspecting campus Wednesday and Uhuisday the press service, new this \ tar for the Emerald* was killed off, emblamed iiud stowed away iu the ground. The Emerald ’a maiden voyage to ward expansion was this fall started by the institution of a United l’ress service and the issuing of an occa sional six page paper. With their new press and everything, tilings pointed toward a growth for the sheet, but now the backsliders are beginning to crawfish and crawl back into their shells again. The well-wishers who are always ' jubilant when the Km era Id has to be squelched for some little slip up in its columns would undoubtod ly shed buckets of tears if their; names did not get in when they did something. Thc\ forget that it is the labora tory for journalism majors and its! errors are*no more a fault than are those of the diem shark^who mixes! his pow ders a bit wrong or the geol- j ogiat who thinks fools' gold is thOj Ik SEVEN „ SEERS rai END TO MODERN STORY: “SO HE SHOT IIIS WIFE AND LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER.” ART SCHOENI, TELEGRAPH OPERATOR, OUT OF WORK One of the heart rending little tragedies accompanying the loss of the United Press is the throwing out of work of Art Sclioeni, veteran telegrapher operator. Schoeni, hear ing that his job was threatened, ap peared before Jack Benefiel with tears in his eyo3 and told of his wife and family, hut to no avail— Jack kept right on sweeping Mc Arthur Court. Schoeni until recently was em ployed as a switchman on the Pacific Air Mail lines, but gave up his job there to come to the University. # * * TODAY’S GEOGRAPHICAL ANSWER “I’m not going to that lecture tonight.” “Denver aro you igoing?” (She stopped laughing at daybreak.) LUCKY: “Cigarettes seem to up set my stomach.” STRIKE: “Why don’cha try smoking them?” * * » TRUE CONFESSIONS PUB. CO. Jack Benefiel, Grad. - Manager, U. of Oregon. Dear Mr. Benefiel: Your request for contract prices on True Confession serial stories for the Daily Emerald, to replace the United Press, is in our hands and wc are figuring costs now. Will let jou know promptly. Very truly yours, TRUE CONFESSIONS. * # • MILL RACE PARTY EXPOSED BY USE OF FLOOD LIGHTS Theta Chi freshmen attended a mill-racing party given in their hon or by the sophomores the other night. It was held at the Anchor age and was a complete success ex cept for the fact that several in quisitive couples upstairs at the time turned a floodlight on the pro ceedings, thus giving some of the hoys a little too much publicity. Tho prof, with the shiny blue sorgo suit said in his physics class, “A rillo bullet will go through an inch of solid wood; remember that, you block-heads.” Suicide and sister-cidc was plan ned and worked out by Miss Peggy Sponcer, Tlieta. The fateful day was yesterday, when she and six of her sisters partook of a “practice dinner” prepared as a problem in cooking. Wo have the stomach pump in readiness. Wo are expecting a call from the Thetas and the Alpha Phi’s at any time. Arsenic biscuits will be the verdict. Out of the (51)0 freshmen asked why they came to the University, 59d said their entrance was due to the wonderful courses offered. Only live told the truth and said they came because they had a girl here. FAMOUS LAST WORDS: “Who fru ’at?” SEVEN SEEKS real stuff. They’ll learn differ ently later. What this school needs is at least a tolerant attitude toward the Em erald and when it sends out a ten tacle of expansion, the feeler should not be cut off sharp if it wavers a bit in reaching lor the upper rungs. Yours l'or a bit more consideration and not so many lightning-quick slashes to save $10. IMPATIENT. 'Theaters _ McDonald—Second day.

Allied Arts League Sponsors Exhibition Of Modernistic Work An exhibition of water colors, drawings, and etchings by Bichard Lahcy, one of the young modern group in New York and very well known there, will be brought to Eu gene, February 6, under the auspices of the Allied Arts League of the school of architecture and allied arts, and shown at the little gal lery on the University campus, Mable A. Houck, secretary of ho school, announced today. Mr. Lnhey’s studies are being shown at the Portland Museum of Art at present and were exhibited in Seattlo by the Fine Arts Society there. In a recent letter to Ellis F. Lawrence, dean of the Oregon arts school, Mrs. Farley D. McLouth, curator of the Seattle Fine Arts Society, explained that this is the lirst time that Lahey has exhibited in the west. “lie is much interested in know ing the West’s reactioii to his work,” she wrote. “His work is very interesting—modern but not ultra-modern.” Lahey’s studies include scenes from the United States, France, Spain, and other countries, and range in character from portraits to marines and humtm interest sketches. It has been said of him that ho seems to catch the spirit of whatever life lie is portraying. The exhibition that will bo brought to Eugene includes fifty pieces of the artist’s work, all of which will be offered for sale. I The fuud% necessary for the exhi bition to be brought here wore fur nished by the Allied Arts League, an organization of students taking work in the school of architecture and allied arts.
