Haste Makes Waste;
Clearing the Field
THE student council has frequent-.
ly been held guilty of doing
nothing. The story of yesterday’s
session reads- quite differently for
the meeting was probably the most
productive of the year. The ordered
tut. in the Junior Yod-Vil admission
prices and the resolution that the
top price of one dollar be made the
permanent limit for future Vod-Vils
met with enthusiastic approval as
the news spread over the campus
last night, indicating that the coun
cil had truly represented campus
opinion.
The wholesale abolition of honor
ary societies, 14 in all, will doubt
less meet with protests from some
quarters, but on the whole is a
measure "which deserves commenda
tion.
i
*****
In ordering a reduction of prices
for the Dream Follies^ the council
struck at the practice,»*►£ each suc
ceeding class seeking to surpass the
achievements of those going before
and asking the students to foot the
mounting bills. As Don Beclar said,
the idea behind campus productions
such as the Vod-Vjl is to provide
entertainment and an outlet for
talent for the campus folk. There
is. no quarrel over the fact that the
Vod-Vils of the past have made
enough profits tu make up for de
ficits accrued by other activities of
Junior Week-end, but there is a
stiong opinion current on the cam
pus that the revile directorate has
gone too far in planning an extrava
ganza which would seem to necessi
tate increased prices for tickets.
The desire of the directorate to
produce a show which would rank
with if not surpass that of last year
in excellence js only natural and
not at all blameworthy. The error
if in that they went ahead with
plans'calling for greatly increased
expenditures without seeking to de
ti rmin'e probable campus opinion
while there still was time to alter
■the plans. Now, the directors come
forward with the statement that if
the ordered cut, which they propose
tc ignore, be made, it means that
the junior class will be left with a
deficit.
The members of the directorate
should know what they arc talking
about. It is better that the original
scale of prices be followed than that
tin class bo loft holding the sack.
The students of all classes have
already proved their loyalty and de
sire to see the campus-produced re
vue by buying heavily in the ad
vance ticket sale, yet condciunat ion
of the raise in prices has been almost
universal. Whether the student

Receives Appointment
Miss Emma Stephenson, formerly

Miss Stephenson is expected to

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, PALO
ALTO, April 1'.—(P.I.P.) —Clarence
“Cook” Nvpher, varsity catcher for
the past three years, was elected
council has 1 lie power 'to net prices
on class undertakings is beside the
point; student opinion, if one can
believe anything of what he hears,
is behind the council in its action.
The significance of the occurrence
should be born in mind by all who
lay plans to entertain the student
body in the future.
# * * * *
Oregon has lined up with the more
progressive student bodies among
American universities in abolishing
honorary societies which have either
become inactive or have no real pur
pose .for. their, existence. Societies
..purpose merely clutter up the campus
without a definite and legitimate
life and form roosts for campus
“joiners,” no matter how many and
how frequently meetings are held.
Some of the honoraries ordered
dissolved started wtih a fine object
in view, but interest declined
and the societies became in
active, or at least ineffective.
Others lost out because they were
unsuccessful in duplicating the func
tions of similar organizations.
Nothing hinders a healthful
growth of campus activities so much
as an accumulation of lifeless or
ganizations. The field is now well
cleared and Oregon students can go
ahead with the cultivation of soil
of less doubtful productivity.

Those W/ho Dance
Must Pay the Piper
ALL those disagreeable words
floating around in the air now
adays- hard times, unemployment,
business depression —seem to have
settled upon the University student
body on masse.
Reports from the cashier's office
reveal the fact that students are
paying their fees more slowly this
term than ever before. Perhaps it
is only the “Scotch” in them, caus
ing them to retain their dutch upon
their wealth until the last minute.
Tn all probability the reason lies
deeper. The prosperity of our par
ents is largely barometric of our
own and at present a good many
fathers are suffering from the cur
rent depression. There are an un
usually large number of working
students who also feel the effect
of slowed down business activity.
These, then, .may be reasons for not
being able to pay but they are not
reasons for not paying. The Uni
versity cannot do a credit business
and cruel though it may seem—if
you can’t pay, don’t, stay and
there are only two days and a half
left to do so without u late pay
ment fine of three dollars.

Distress Faculty
EUGENE, Ore., April 18— (KP)
—With Senior Leap Week festivi
ties rapidly approaching and word
spreading around that the dean of
women and her assistant will bo out
of town, University officials today
made no effort to conceal their un
easiness as Thursday approached.
The University request that
everybody bo in by 1:00 A. M., un'
less it carries more weight than the
request to pay fees early, will not
take care of the situation.

Then Mr. Krb asked if it couldn’t
have just men and no machinery. It
was decided that it could, and then
Mr. Erb went on to say that even
then there was quite a similarity,
that even men had to get oiled oc
casionally.

—LTP—The trans-Atlantic plane
Bremen may be ready to leave
Greenly Island Saturday or Sunday,
Robert Channon of the Canadian
transcontinental airway, now at
Murray Bay, said tonight.
Channon made the announcement
after consulting with Major James
Fitzmaurice,. Irish member of the
Bremen crew, who arrived late
Wednesday at Lake St. Agnes air
drome from Clarke City, Quebec.
Channon said it was hoped to as
semble the spare parts for the Bre

the Junkers monoplane F-13, sister
ship of the Bremen, make a hop to
Greenly Island and take in the re

Major Fitzmauric.e believes the
Bremen can be repaired sufficiently
to make the flight from lonely
Greenly Island to New York. As

available, Fitzmaurice will then
take them, back to Greenly Island
and will accompany his German
companions on tlieir triumphant
flight from Greenly Island to New
