Day Editor This Issue— Dorothy Baker, Night Editor This Issue— Floyd Horn Assistant Night Editors—Glenn Gall Warren Tinker WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28, 1928 In Answer To Our Prayer AFffiVEST prayer went up from the Emerald a couple of months ago. Wc asked for a restorativo for students subjected to hours of anesthetic treatments in academic lecture rooms each day; something to dispell the intellectual fogs rising out of tedious assign ments, was our plea. Our prayer has been heard; a lively University bookshop in the embryo is the answer. The University Bookshelf just in •augurated at the student Co-op store is an adventure even as the Co-op itself, a few years ago, was a hazard taken by its founders. When the Emerald followed up its prayer with personal and practical attention to the problem, it found the solution already well-formed in the mind of Marion McClain, the manager. The control board was soon converted to the .proposal, one unique in this part of the country. Assistance and suggestions in ordering storks came from interested faculty members, and liberal offers were tendered by Portland literary dealers. A widely varied and rich field was thus made available for the intellectually cur ious students suffering the twinges of scholastic headache. The Bookshelf, in all probability, j will never need groan in protest at the number of patrons it is sup porting between floor and coiling. It will not entice hordes of stu dents, even fitted as it is with ash frays and cushioned chairs. But its sponsors hope and have every reason to anticipate that it will figure importantly in reducing the appalling number of students who pass in and out the college walls without a glimpse of living as it can be realized when it clearly un derstands the written word. Of course, the Bookshelf is yet imperfect. It will grow fo satisfy the increasing literary appetites of its frequenters. The character of its volumes can, in response to stu dents desires, be more surely chosen. But in the meantime we like our literary rendezvous; new as it is, wo find real comfort and quality there. For all of this, the Emerald returns thanks. Spare These Our Blushes IF it may bo said that a newspaper is able to appreciate flowers, the Emerald is appreciative of all bouquets which may be offered. It is especially appreciative of such floral offerings as do not give shel ter to brickbats. Further, just as with mortals, the Emerald is inclined to harbor friend ly feelings for those persons who give voice to words of praise for the paper. Now, after hinting that something nice has been said about the Em erald, it would probably bo advis able to tell what was said, by whom, when, where, how and why. Before divulging all of the details, how ever, it .should be understood by all that the compliment is not taken from a solicited testimonial, but came as a surprise—that is, it was not expected at the particular time it arrived. Well, it’s this way. It will bo remembered that Dean Esterly wont to Boston last month anil attended a meeting of deans of women from colleges and universities from all over the United States. Well, she was in a different division of the conference when Norman Studcr, editor of the New Student, made the remark, so didn’t hear him say it, but some of those who did hear him told her and she brought the news back to Eugene with her. Thus, Dean Esterly says that she was told that Norman Studcr said that the Harvard Crimson and the Oregon Daily Emerald are the most influen tial college newspapers in the United States. That is the story. The public must be served, so with blushing modesty the news is published that all who can might read. W. C. We had always thought of trans formations as miraculous happenings having origin in mysterious influ ences. Now that the ladies are again turning to long hair, on occasions at least, we learn that transformations are bought and sold just like any other commodity. Book Shop (Continued from page one) warning:, it is rather hard lo pull one’s self away without taking along some little volume. For several years McClain has made an effort to keep a small stock of general books, in addition to the regular list' of texts, for the benefit of students. The Oregon co operative store was the first on the l’aciiic coast to introduce this pol icy, although this year a number have followed the innovation and several others plan to shortly. An organization of college book store managers, includes a dozen mem bers—the regular Pacific coast con ference schools and the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Bellingham Normal in Washington, and the State Teachers’ College at San Jose, California. The list of tlie thousand books has titles from the classics, from biography, poetry, drama, eritieism and fiction. Glancing casually around one can seo dozen of books such as ‘•Mother India,” the amazingly frank and searching story by Kath erine Mavo, which is being frowned upon by tho educated Indians of the United States; “The Portrait Invisible,” Joseph Gullomb’s mys tery story which Macmillan has been pushing in the Inst few weeks anil of which William Lyon Phelps of Yalo says, “ . . . one of the best mystery stories I know.” Then there is “China,” another Macmillan volume which is creat ing considerable discussion. It is one of the most human of the re cent; books on that country which is still a vague, far-away thing to so many seif-sufficient Americans. It is illumined by flashes of lino humor, touching even the more ser ious aspects of philosophy and re ligion. And, of course, there are tho inescapable Milno books, and the “Color” of Countop Cullen, and Maxim Gorky and Edith Wharton. Havelock Ellis’ “Man and Wo man” is in the list, along with a beautiful little volume, exquisite in binding and illustration, called “Eireflies.” It is liatpudranath Tagore’s production. “Trader Horn,” which lifted a backyard peddler of cheap kitchen ware to one of the brightest spots of contemporary lit erary limelight, has a place on the shelves. “Volpono” by Stephan Zweig, “Disraeli” by Audio Mau rois, and “Ariel: The Life of Shel ley,” also by Maurois, are among the prominent biographies. The co-operation of M. II. Doug lass, librarian, and of the book pub lishers, according to Mr. McClain, aided largely in making tho intro duction of this large stock of gen eral books possible here.
