Day Editor This Issue—Z'od Sten Night Editor This Issue— Warren Tinker * Assistant Night Editor—Clarence Craw A Progressive Sports Program THE University of Illinois lias taken a forward step in adopt ing a program under which all in tercollegiate sports are to bo placed on the same footing. If the plan proves to be a success, it will mean the end of the designation of a game as a major or a minor sport. The proponents of the scheme hold that by giving equal recognition to athletes regardless of the sport in which they compete an increased number of students will try for ath letic teams representing the univer sity, thus tending to mitigate the seriousness of the charge that col legiate athletics are conducted as to he of benefit to but a few. Athletic records live in black and white and in the memories of those present when the records were made. College spirit and athletic prestige, however, vary their fortunes with <allege generations. Thu problem of regaining lost athletic prestige is ony which holds the attention of Oregon students and alumni inter ested in collegiate sports. With the more lucrative sports labeled as major sports, the atten tion of the sporting public is lim ited to but a part of the University ’s sports program. If Oregon will elect to follow the lead of Illinois and put all of her teams on an equal footing as representatives of the University, what are now the minor sports would gain in favor with tho students, the competition for places on the squads would become keener, and the quality of the teams improve as a result. With all teams and sports rated as being of equal im portance, the failure of one team to come through a season of competi tion with flying colors would not constitute the near calamity it now is held to be and Oregon sport pres tige would be more nearly constant. With His Eye On the First Million Dr. John A. Tiger! proves it with figures. College graduates command from $1400 to $5000, high school seniors step out into jobs pav ing between $850 and $0100, while men who stop at the eighth grade cannot better $1500. Dr. Tigert is imccy>r of the Federal Bureau of Education so lie is in a position to know. It’s a comfort for college students to be able to figure that their in tianiural years are enhancing their ixpectancy for an ample living. With desolating starkness, and sometimes ■i (lash of malice, they’ve been shown the darker picture often enough. Kut even with these official statis tics smiling on them, they will find I it hard to allay the uneasy lostness that makes itself felt more and more insistently as they near the com mencement platform. , • > Whether or not this economic disquietude takes shape as a bogey within the individual’s mind, it saps his assurance. His incompetence to bargain with employers is only em phasized as he compares his state with that of his old high-school mates “out of life.’’ Over-correc liofi, we reply, when the old allega tion regarding smart, aleeky wliip persnnppers just out of college is perennially unearthed. Is there another country where the collegian’s bargaining status is impaired by his education? Not that we know of. Interpret it either way, there is something prejudicial among the hirers or else American colleges jire fallings down on their job—or both. College pays in cash . . . ultimately meanwhile, luckily, it is paying in a thousand other ways. But the day is yet afar off when culture will i.ot be a liability too heavy for the i mbit inns go-getter to tamper with. It Is Spring .... But Then .... fd'VEHY year about this time the J old tradition of “Hello’’ with its accompaniment ... a cheery smile ... is rejuvenated. Taking the rest of the campus almost un awares, a certain group appearing in neatest bib and tucker . . . rain oi shine . . . suddenly loom up to had in the rejuvenating process. Can it be spring that paints smiles on these heretofore worry-laden laces. Can it be spring that gives courage to bravo the spasmodic April storms ia none too weatherworthy finery? Or is it, perhaps, that the dale in May is not so far distant when nearly three thousand students will go to the polls to cast their votes deciding the success or failure if the aspirations of some twenty liainpus office seekers? M. C. B. Comm un nations The Revolt of Youth ’31 Ti Tlu; Kditor: One of the biggest jokes that we freshmen have to humbly submit to in my opinion is this Knglish A ex amination thut we are required to take iluiin^ our first week here. Now if anyone happens to re member how the first week on this campus was you will recall that it was very discouraging: (lotting reg istered—rushing dates, — everyone seems to be running around in a burry, and yet we are expected to ki ep a cool -mind and pass an Eng lish examination in which you are asked whether cat has two r’s in it or one, and other questions of equally heavy thought. How many freshmen consider this examination seriously.' liven if they' did give it serious thought- are their minds in such a slate that they can think clearly And 1 ask how many'pass the examination.’ Now, either something is wrong with the system of education in On gon, or something wrong with the Knglish professors’ examination. They have been giving this same type of examination for at leas! fix years that ! am aware of, there fore it. must bo alright. Now comes the tragic part. For the poor individuals who happened to get a little excited during their first week at college and forgot how to spell cat, and who were unable to schedule their classes so that they could take this enchanting iOur.se this year ten American dol lars will be required in order to get this wonderful course (maybe you will get. an engraved certifi cate.') It seems that we haven't enough expenses now. The point th;it 1 am trying to put over is that there is something wrong is it the students,' is it the system of education! Will some wise man figure it out / 1 can't! dust what is it.’ Will it take an other g. iteration to get anything done abellt it ! Conscientous Objector Arises To The Kditor: Mr. iSyring asked something that we've :t 11 been wondering about. Why hasn't Malinger Unbelts or one of liis aides told us why the cost of frolicking is higher this year.1 A mail can shell out four bits lot a show, even a dollar per ticket to: something good.

Follies (Continued from page one) * 1 much skill nuil precision enters into ■ the showing of the c.hoirus. But if the gills look ns though they’re, gct ting a big kick out of life and are having fun instead of working, the show can get by with some pretty weak spots in the actual dancing. The dances which the ponies worked on Sunday were not easy, but there wasn’t a girl in the crowd who didn’t put her whole self into the job and who didn’t seem to be en joying herself tremendously. Camille Burton, directing with the aid of a golf stick between num bers and leading the numbers when on the stage, kept the dancing at a high pitch. A remarkable charac teristic of the pony chorus was the balance of ability shown. There were no dancers who couldn’t keep up and there were none who wore so far ahead of the others that any unfavorable comparison could be made. Here aro the girls who per formed—a mighty cute bunch: Ca mille Burton, Berenice Butler, Dor ris I’ugsley, Frances White, Avis lfnrtson, Eleanor Look, Dorothy Burke, Mgry Caniparoli, l’hyllis Van Kiminell, Bonita Tichenor, and Edith Bader. A soothing melody and a rhyth mically graceful dance, pleasing be cause of its contrast', followed, fea turing the beauties with the male chorus. Those in the number were Until DeXeff, Frances Simkins, Edith Pearson, Dewey Baker, Alice Latture, Nancy Luckel, Myra Belle Palmer, Harriet lluston, Virginia Moore, Audrey Lyons, Phil Holmes, Ed Walker, Johnny Anderson, Frances Mullins, George Jacl^son, Ralph Owens, A1 Boydeu, John Kon igshn for, Kenton Case, Don Magin i nis, and Kenneth Potts. | ratc> five dollar's worth of evening.

The Idaho women defeated the Oregon representatives, Margaret Edmunson and Florence McNerney, at Moscow, Tuesday night, by a 2 to' 1 vote. Friday night Mary Kleinm and Alice Clink were beaten here hv Washington by a unanimous decision. The question of mass edu cation was used in the women’s con tests. “Oregon has made a very impres ; sive record in debate this year, much better than last year,” said Coach Horner yesterday. “It is especially impressive in view of the faet that our squad was almost entirely inex perienced. As the result of our,-vic tory over Stanford,, it is probable that debates with Stanford will be annual events hereafter. I believe that mucl) of the success of the sea son was due to the fact that most of the debaters were new and worked harder than they ordinarily would have.” Three of the four men who were veterans this year, Taylor, Davis and Durgan, have debated for Ore gon for the last time, as they will graduate this year. As there will be many veterans on hand at the opening of the season in 1929, the prospects for next season are excel lent. Birds Fail To Take Advantage of Their New Tiled Bath Bowl And speaking of bird baths— The young field zoologists were out on their regular Saturday morn ing stroll, gazing at the birdies and thinking how beautiful is spring, Tra la, and all the rest of it when their attention became riveted on Finds Tobacco for "Breaking In” a Pipe Columbus, Ohio March 10, 1927 Larus & Bro. Co. Richmond, Va. Gentlemen: Two years ago my wife gave me an expensive pipe. I smoked it a great deal for two or three weeks, put it aside, then began smoking it again. This time it was very strong. Veterans told me that it had been smoked too hard for anew pipe and should be put away. The pipe was laid away again. A short time ago I got it out and smoked one of the common brands of tobacco in it. The results were disappointing. I told the druggist of my experience with it. He asked if I had tried Edge worth. I told him I never had. I fol lowed his suggestion, and I am honest when I say that it has restored the sweetness to the pipe, and has made me wonder. Was it the pipe or the brand of tobacco that caused me tc lay it away for the long period of time? As a novice, I prefer Edgeworth. 1 am going to stick to it, as I feel satisj fled that there is none better on the market. Sincerely yours, Philip C. Shera Edgeworth Extra High Grade Smoking Tobacco ! the new tile bird bath recently placed by the art department in its court. It wasn’t the large num ber of birds engaging in their weelf ly Saturday pastime—it was the ab sence of them. “Aha, something is amiss,” the youthful Sherlock Holmeses cried, % so they went over to inspect it. ‘•Humph, no wonder!” was the re ply a moment later. “No self-re specting bird would bathe in waiter as dirty as that.” And onward they went to filjd a place more fruitful to their scientific instincts Last Day The Merry Melange of Matrimonial Mixups “Slightly Used” with May McAvoy Conrad Nagle Also Comedy News Scenic —Coming— Wednesday Leatrice Joy in “Nobody’s Widow” with Charles Ray Phyllis Haver * and David Butler SKILL 'HE twist of the wrist, the I “throw” of the arm, the shifting of the weigjat—these are among the many little points which make the skill that you admire in the javelin thrower as he hurls the shaft two hundred feet or more. of an inch here—a minute variation in a curve there—slight changes fore seen hy engineers and carried out by skilled workmen.
