Day Editor This Issue—Mary McLean Night Editor This Issue—Myron Griffin Assistant Night Editors—Clair Coe THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1928 Time for Housecleaning At Oregon, Too W 7"ITH tlir* first breath of spring to steal across the midwest prairies, the University of Nebraska bestirred itself and set about house cleaning. The story gleaned from the Daily Nebraskan was taken up by the critically approving New Student: “Six underclass honorary societies at the University of Nebraska are on the verge of death, their fate now resting in faculty hands. “Their abolition was recommend ed by the student council, follow ing long agitation against purpose-, less organizations by the Daily Nebraskan. The faculty has de layed action to permit defense pleas. In announcing the council action, the Nebraskan said editorially: “ ‘There was little justification for tlieso societies which had exist ed solely because certain ambitious men and women students wished to, have important sounding club names | placed among their achievements in ! college activities.’” Nebraska, wo fear, can boast no I monopoly on that particular brand I of ambition. This year’s “Hollo” book of the University lists thirty three local organizations and thirty throe with national affiliations which range in uscfulcss from Phi Beta Kappa to tho annual poster plastering forays preceding the frosh parade of To-Ko-Lo. Some of tho societies are dead as dodos; many more haven’t the i vitality of Volstead beer. But from year to year they contin'ue, through mere inertia, to solemnly appear in the Oregana. In justice to the organizations which do mean something beside ^n initiation fee to their members, and hence to the University, the reason for being of all these groups should i be challenged by the student conn- ; cil. In fairness to tho newcomer groping among the tortuosities of an organized campus, worthwhile associations should be separated! from the useless. And finally, in self-defense, students should be ; loath to see all manner of clap-trap apparently 'nestling under the bene- 1 volent aegis of the A. S. U. O. College Spirit, Made-to-Order TTKMPTS are still being made to cram so-called college spirit down the throats of students who deny it to be the real article. But lor College; at Indianapolis, Indiana, is the latest, institution to insist that its students he collegiated ac cording to the administration’s pat tern. Unless they accede to the demands of the dean of women, Butler stu dents can have but one fraternity dance a semester instead of the cus tomary two. The word “Butler,” spelled out in electric lights as the key.piece of decorative schemes, is a superb demonstration of college spirit, in the opinion of the dean. All clant'c programs must include “square” and “round” dances; the “Sweetheart of Sigma Chi” should be played; and under no circum stances shall there be any stags. Further, the good dean insists that there be a non-dancing floor committee to see all are properly introduced — “Howdoyn do” and “pleased to meetcha” are such de lightful bits of social conversation! —An embargo against men and wo men, not students at Butler is an other measure framed to further the growth of a college spirit. Student opinion on the Oregon campus will not admit that the ad ministration's stand on social life is perfect, but they mugt concede that life must bo more enjoyable here than within the limits of the Butler campus. Tho officials in Johnson hall do not make rules that tell us how we shall go about creating a college spirit. They are more accustomed to grappling with tho problem of curb ing an occasional excess of enthu siasm than in acting the role of dancing masters, or cheer leaders. It is their job to mark tho lines vithin which tho studints may do pretty much as they please. Tho faculty can do much toward promoting a college spirit by en couraging student, endeavors, but the actual work should bo demo by the students. • The job is not ono which is to be done by legislation. A true col lege spirit is a something which ex ists in the hearts of the students and not in the constitution and by laws of the student body. A tradi tion is not made in a day, despite the large crop of events stamped with the name by the promoters. We wish that Butler College may become possessed of a deep imbed ded college spirit, but we fear that it will not be until some opinion other than that of the dean of wo men is allowed to prevail over the Jloosior campus. —W. 0. Commun ications All For "Leap Week” 'l'o tlie Editor: The co-ed who aired her views on j "leap week” or a "leap period” ni some extent is entirely in the ri” 1 >t. The stunt is done elsewhere aiul l j don't see why it shouldn’t be fens-; jlde here. YVi 're all desreinleiits j of the same stork, and if it is true, as friend f'uliii says, that the trou \ ble in Eden was not enusoil liy an1 “apple but by a green pair, we main tain that the woman is fifty per rent responsible. That being the ease, we would like to see how mod ern Eve goes about the business of life. Apart from the diverting situa tions whieh might or might not arise from the suggested plan, I, and 1 know others who feel the same way, would like to see .just how popular 1 am in the feminine estimation. Too true it is that many a modern girl is a gold digger, with' no quotes on those words because| they are too common to require them; and being a gold digger, her; major requirement is that a good' meal ticket l)o presented her; ami tlio larger the ticket the more chances the owner has of sharing it. Hut l maintain that w omen will j choose ilifferently if money is no cousiderat ion; and believe ns, sister s, we aren't accepting invitations i from you unless we like you. A show or a dance is no incentive to us. You’re our prime objective. Hut perhaps this caste system of the houses will prohibit “leap week" anyway, so what's the rise ot trying to find out if a girl real-: l\ likes you! Yours, .1. B. Feminine Sincerely Scouted To the Editor: Now it's the leap week idea! soon the little coy-oils of the campus may hi taking their boy frieuds to shows and dances -and paying the bills — maybe. Since this is leap year some enterprising Kmerald reporters have been approaching campus cole hi it ics, etc., and askfhg what they thought nf the idea.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS “In a pinch, use Allen's Foot ease. ” SEVEN SEE’E’S -: 7-~---1 Associate Member of Sigma Delta Chi Reveals Journalistic Background Sidney Jenkins Is Seventh To Follow ‘The Call’; Records Date From Civil War Seven generations of journalism b the background revealed by Sid ney C. Jenkins, feature writer on the Eugene Guard, when he was recently initiated into Sigma Delta Chi, na tional journalism fraternity, as an associate member of the University of Oregon chapter. Mr. Jenkins is the son of D. C. Jenkins, copyreadcr on the Port land Telegram; the grandson of Will D. Jenkins, who owned the Reveille in what is now Bellingham, Wash ington; the great-grandson of David S. Jenkins, who owned the Smith Center Pioneer in Smith Center, Kansas; the great-great-grandson of Frank Jenkins, who, it is admitted, left the newspaper business to be come a preacher; and the great gioat-great-great grandson of Peter Jenkins, who was a printer-editor in Kansas fhany years before the Civil War. Only a tintype photograph re mains as relic of the first two gen erations in this newspaper family, but beginning with David C. Jen kins, the family has records of the work of each generation. David C. Jfcnkins early decided that Kansas was not a rich country for journalists, and in 1857 came west to Puget Sound. Here in What I com, Whatcom county, he became | postmaster and served at various : times on the city council. The journalistic urge was in the family to stay, however, and it was not long until the pioneer’s son, Will D. Jenkins, started the Re veille, a morning paper. Later the towns of Whatcom, Seshome and Fairhaven consolidated, making Bel lingham, and Will Jenkins became the frist mayor. In 1896 he Was elected secretary of state, and mov ed to Olympia. David Calvin Jenkins, Junior, the father .of Sidney, after a’ ro mantic secret marriage which creat ed quite' a stir in the Jenkins fam ily, went to Olympia in 1896 and With his brother, Will D. Jr., ran a weekly. Then he went to Okano gan Valley and published the Bol ster Diamond Drill. Later, he went to Bellingham and worked on his, father’s old paper, the Reveille, and also on the Afternoon Herald. From there he went to the Seattle Post Intelligencer as northwest editor, i Since 1911 he has worked on the New York Herald, Washington Post,; San Francisco Examiner and Chron icle, Victoria Times, Vancouver Pro-1 vince and Sun, and is now on the “rim” of the Portland Telegram. The young man representing the seventh generation has himself had an interesting eareer. He ran away from home at the age of 15 and enlisted in the United States Reve nue Cutter service. Through the ef forts of Dr. Paul I. Carter, of the U. S. Public Health service, the youth was induced to continue his studies, and a year after his en listment expired he had completed the junior year of high school. Then came the World War, and Jenkins enlisted for its duration. Following the war he went to work on the Vancouver Sun, and has seen service with the Vancouver Pro vince, News Advertiser in British Columbia, Bellingham Herald, Walla Walla Union, The Dalles Chronicle, Morning Register, and Eugene i Guard. He has also done consider able correspondence work for var ious papers. Present at the initiation eeremon: ies when Jenkins was initiated into Sigma Delta Chi were two men who had known him from birth, Erie W. Allen, dean of the school of jour nalism of the University, and George Turnbull, professor of jour nalism. Both had worked with Sid ney’s father, and'Turnbull had been an intimate friend of young Jen kin’s grandfather when the veteran journalist had been running a week ly in Washington. Allen, Turnbull and the two Jenkins’, all worked on the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. The eighth geueration of this journalistic family, a fair-haired daughter of three yettrs, is already' planning to enter the family pro fession, since women now command an equal status with man, Sidney CAMPUS’ > i Bulleti] The Vagabond (The lectures ou today’s cal endar have been selected for their general appeal.

There, a handshaker can be easily detected, no matter how he disguises himself. Dye your hair, change your voice—yes, even change your major, (for journalism majors are the bane of a geologist’s existence) —but to no avail. The professors in that depart ment who teach the art of rock classification and digging of strange fossils, are “handshake proof,” and are even instructing their assistants how to acquire immunity to this scourge. One professor, (we won’t say who, or he might not like it), declares that after living for twelve years on the coast of China where every type of crook and scoundrel imag inablo drifts in, he feels capable at last* of detecting an Oregon hand shaker. And further—you general geology students—have you seen the pre diction at Quartz Hall? Only a few days ago there was hung in.the win dow of that building a human arm, torn off at the Shoulder, with the joints' of two fingers missing, and underneath was a placard on which the warning was written: “THE LAST HANDSHAKER.” French Fliers Repay Lindy’s Paris Visit WASHINGTON, D.
