Vice-President Barker Home from the Outfield T»URT BROWN BARKER has quit the outfield. Ho slides in to homo plate tonight for the first time. From then on, no matter what position ho is playing in the figurative diamond, the University is home to the new vice-president in charge of public relations. Tho baseball figure of speech may seem inappropriate in a description of a vice-president malting his debut. We lay the responsibility, however, entirely on Mr. Barker, who sug gested it in a recent lotter to the Emerald by a jocular description of his activities in the cast prior to departing for the coast. He en visaged President Hall as batting flies to tho outfield where he at tempted to get them without being very well ablo to judge their prob ablo landing place. These activi ties, we deduce, are identical with thoso of tho torso newspaper report^ “Before leaving for Oregon, Mr. Barker spent considerable time with various educational founda tions . . .” Burt Brown Barker first recom mended himself to tho Emerald when tho pleasant alliteration of his name was heard at the time of tho regents’ mooting last fall. His pic ture published then impressed us fa vorably, too. But it was not until his cordial, humorous personal let ter came, that we began to feel really acquainted with him. And to tho inevitable cynics, we may parenthetically add that it whs not his check for a year’s subscription that is solely responsible for our kindly regard toward him. We observo that Vice-President Barker commences his service at headquarters by addressing tho edi tors at tho newspaper conference next Friday. Forgetting for a mo ment the nice things he told us about tho Emerald, and judging his ability from such opportunities as ho has had occasion to reveal it to us, wo do uot hesitate to prophesy that ho will be a favorite with them. And that, iu a word, is what lie’s hero for. The Ax Falls At Washington THE. action taken by President Spencer of the University of Washington in expelling two sftid suspending six of tho students in volved in the beating and ducking of Clarion Zioneheck, president of tho Washington student body, should servo as an example to any who are subject to tho impulse to em ploy ruffianly methods in correct ing a condition contrary to their, own likes. When tho over-zealous octette thought to settle tho controversy over the management of student body business by throwing Zion ehock into Lake Washington after beating him, they saw no further than they wero able to throw their victim. Had tho assault boen made on a more obscure per Soil by one equally unknown to tho reading public, the affair would have attracted no more attention than any ordinary street scuffle. The fact that it took place at one of the leading state univer sities of the country; that it arose out of a dispute about a campus matter; and that all concerned in it wero of some prominence in the university community mado the in cident one that has been cried far and wide. What was really accomplished by the vengeful group of maskers'? For a brief while they no doubt felt a certain degree of satisfaction at having demonstrated their prowess through giving vent to what they thought to be righteous indignation, but the feeling did not last long. The identity of tho individuals making up the group was suspected as soon as nows of tho incident be came known. It was but a rela tively few hours beforo all had con fessed to participation in tho affair and tho university authorities had taken the drastic action which may have a. decided effect on Washing ton’s athletic situation during tho next year. Tho “smart thing to do” has not settled tho original dispute. It has only succeeded in bringing severe punishment for the offenders and adding to the always present body of prejudice held against colleges and universities. If it bo at all possible to do so, tho culprits more than defeated their purpose. —W. C. Hoover’s Translation Of 4Dc Re Metallica’ Is Topie of Lecture 1 >o Bo Motallioa” (“ Concerning Metallic Things”), a Latiu book translated by Herbert Hoover and liis wife, will bo the main subject of Dr. Warren I>. Smith’s lecture this morning at. 11 o’clock at room 101, Condon Hall. The talk nail bo delivered to the geography class find is scheduled as one of the “vag abond” lectures being given on the campus every day by different pro fessors. Dr. Smith is probably the only person in the Northwest who owns a eopy of this book. It is an almost exact facsimile of the origmul edi tion which was published in 155th The illus*rat ions m tho book are made from the same wood cuts which were used nearly 100 years ugo and which arc now in the Brit ish Museum. This is the tirst complete transla tion of “De Be Mottalioa,” and ac cording to Dr. Smith, great credit is due Hoover and his wife. "I am not going to deliv< r a oom paign speech for Hoover,” Profes sor Smith said, “but this has merely happened at an opportune time.” Tho lecture will be mainly about tho aiming districts of liurope dur iag tho middle ages. Rotest of Students Shows Reliability of Psychological Tests I'Ih- fact that tlio department of psychology is attempting to deter mine just what part fright and other factors play in the results of freshmen psychology tests may re call to tirst year students certain qualms experienced not so long ago, when they sought to enroll in the University. The relative stability of such measures is indicated by a retest given in March, ti':.’", to !>d stu dents who had taken the psycho logical examination series of 19-5 as freshmen in September, 10-5. The correlation of the two tests comes out .9, which moans that SO per cent of the factors involved are the same in both cases. Such things as variations in an individual’s per formance due to health, happiness, etc., differences in the make up and imperfections of the tests, and greater maturity in the individual are much less important factors than the abilities which the tests measure. These three factors cause fluctuations of less than -0 per cent. While there i.- an increase in the total test score, the relative scores remain practically the same. •• Wo believe that wo can place a good deal of eoufldeuco in the psychological tests,” 1’rofessor Howard K. Taylor of the psychol ogy department said. t • ' Tk SEVEN * SEERS IF FOE ONLY ONE REASON, JUNIOR WEEK-END HAS AL WAYS BEEN AN OCCASION TO j BE LOOKED FORWARD TO. Tradition has made it a “closed . season” for conventions and invited guests! ... Normal photo of Duncan Dough nuts, Oampa Shoppe punch maker, who is in a state of nervous collopse today following a chemist’s report yesterday that his punch contains no traces of fruit juices. His original recipe calls for a half a lemon, a cube of sugar, and a drop of coloring, all thrown into the city reservoir the night before a dance. An investigation yesterday showed that Duncan had been put ting these ingredients into a old abandoned reservoir. He collapsed when fired. TODAY’S GEOGRAPHICAL ANSWER “Arc you hurt, dear?” “No, loved one, I Malheur. (And she smiled out loud.) Grctchon left late last night for Salem and the insano asylum whore, as she said, she would got “loco color for hor next novel.” TODAY’S THRILLER Jack Bencfiel ran out of gas by tlie men’s gym yesterday afternoon andj phoned a 'service station to bring up a gallon of the precious liquid. A boy arrived with it, dusted tho cobwebs from the gas tank cap, then couldn’t turn it with a Stillson wrench, and finally had to knock a hole in the top of the tank. FABLE Once upon a time a formal was given and no chicken salad was served. But then that was a timo when both formats and chicken' sal ads wore unknown. Prof. Anitv says if the farm vote is successful with a dark horse presi dential candidate, government will bo a lot moro stable. EXTRA NIGHT WATCHMAN PUT ON TO WATCH SMOKING A crew of nearly fifty men have been added to the force of night watchmen and those gents, each equipped with a canary bird in a cage, will patrol the campus build ings every night in search of tobacco smoke. The special canaries indicate by the pitch of their voices the brand of cigarettes that have been smoked. (Piedmonts excluded because of con fusion with burning mattresses.) The buildings that are the chief of fenders include: Condon, Villard, Journalism, and Arts. Little Blue Eyes is so dumb she thinks police dogs belong to the police. SOLICITED COMMENT .ON THE SEVEN SEERS When I began reading the Seven Seers column two months ago, I had iugrowji toenails, broken car drums, flat feet, a fractured skull, and a bad case of corn brew. I have since been forced to drink the corn brew and am writing this on my death-bed. With 11 hiss and a eurse. POlfcO^KD. ..

The immortal “Ben Hur.” Leap Week (Continued from page one) the big cars will cut the rest of us out with the best men. It will be a matter of getting there first.” Abbott Lawrence, senior in ar chitecture: “There arc at least two good things about it: It will let a fellow know where he stands, and it will help out a failing pocket- ; book.” Frank Riggs, senior in economics: “Wonderful! It will give some of the campus heiresses a chance to spend some of their money on the boys, and it. will give the boys a chance to understand the plight a woman is in when someone calls her up . far a date that she doesn’t want.” Gould Changes Tune Cotter Gould, junior in business administration: “The girls are fool ish if they do it,” he said at first. “They’re just out for entertainment and it’s a sign that they’re being' bored if they’re willing to take a man out for a new thrill.” He changft his mind, however, when it was understood that woman was to foot the bills for the week. Maryhelen Koupal, senior in jour nalism: “The idea’s all-right, just so it comes at the first of the month.” Claudia Fisher, senior in journal ism, said: “I don’t like the idea. I think it would be fun to try once; but formerly when such things are brought up, they have become cus toms. We now have a number -of customs and this would make just another. We now have the Senior Leap Year custom. Every year we ge more customs and soon we’ll have nothing but customs. There are also a number of students who take ad vantage of these customs and abuse them.” Patty Park, senior in journalism, made the reply:( “I think it is a good idea. It will give the girls a chance to go out with just who they want to, when they want to. The girl can go where she really wants tc and does .not have to stay out any later than she wishes. This would give the girls a chance to pay back what they owe. It would be loads of fun and I really wish we’d have it.” Billy O ’Bryant, junior in the eco nomics, says: “I think it’s a, mar velous idea if the girls don’t expect too much of us.” Frances Plimpton, senior in. nor mal arts, made the statement: “I do not thing it is such a good idea. It would really be stealing the sen ior leap week, which has long been a custom ’here. It has been tried on several other campuses, and has' not been very successful.” Co-Ed Sees Bankruptcy Marporie Clark, freshman in jour nalism replied: “-I think it is the thing to do once, but not to make, a practice of. If it. came often or lasted -long ... Ye Cods! I’d be in the poorliouse.” Hal Harden, senior in physical education said:. ‘‘I think it would be the bunlL ' X poor" feltbSv is lia ble to get hold of the wrong girl. I’d hate to have so many women calling mo up and have to tell them that I couldn’t go out.” Kathleen Tharaldscn, junior in English: “Some girls would be backward about coming forward. It would add variety to monotony and would be something new and differ ent. If all the girls would enter into the spirit of the thing and make it a general instead of a particular idea, it would be fun.” Marion Look, junior in English: “1 think it is cute and lots of fun, but I don’t know what good it would do. The novelty of the situation would be appealing to all.” Jean Hart, freshman in English: I like it, but how could you get the whole campus to do it? It would givi* the girls a chance to pay back seme of fheir debts.” Mary Ann Favors Plan Mary Ann Hart, junior in Eng lish: “I think it is a novel idea, and that is why it would go well. The girls as well as the men would get a great kick out of it. It w'ould give same of the men on the campus an idea as to whther they were playing Santa Claus of not.” George Meade, senior in law: “I don’t know why I’m asked about this affair, for I’d be as little af fected by it as anyone. Anyway it would be all right if it only happen ed once in every four years.” Elizabeth Shields, senior in educa tion: “I think it would be a rare week-end and all the girls that had the courage of their convictions and asked the man they really wanted to, would have a good time.” Alice Morrow, freshman in Eng lish: “Burn about is fair play. If it comes near the first of the month it would be all right; otherwise not so good on the funds. It w"0uld prob ably teach the girls not to be such gold diggers because they would learn that the run on pocketbooks is pretty heavy.” — Margaret Achterman Undergoes Operation Margaret Achterman, junior ma jor in education, was operated on at the Eugen^ hospital for an acute case of appendicitis last Saturday. There are two more patients added to the list of infirmed at the Uni versity infirmary. David Epps, junior, member of Beta Theta Pi, is in the infirmary with a cold. Ed-' ward Stubbs, sopliomaro from Friendly hall, is also a new patient. Robert Keeney, senior, and mem ber of Delta Tau Delta, and Mark Jenkins, frcsWman, 9541/2 Patterson court, will probably be dismissed from the infirmary today.
