Day Editor This Issue— ~>orothy Baker, Night Editor This Issue— Rt x Tussing Assistant Night Editor—Mil Prudhomme FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 1928 Student Government At Its Wits’ Ends IN spite of the short jubilee held day before yesterday after the student eounril cut the admission price for the junior Dream Follies, the original figure will stand, it was decided at a meeting of a supreme ^University administrative tribunal last night. Under the circumstances—consid ering the high-handedness of the1 council at this late hour—it is just j as well so. The Emerald cannot, however, but take exception to the intimation of the University author!-1 ties that the final jurisdiction of such affairs lies without the bounds of the student council. Sponsored and directed by the juniors as it is, the week-end pro gram is all-campus in its scope. Tal-, ent- for the vodvil is drafted from every class; support is required of all undergraduates. The responsi bility to the student body as a whole was baldly neglected during all the , criticism of profiteering. There was arbitrariness in the fix ing of the prices by the vodvil man agement, and there was some more of it in the disregard of student pro test and requests for explanation. But nowhere along the line was there such arbitrariness as in the unfeeling action of the council. No wonder it set the committee’s teeth on edge! The Emerald was in the van of those who wished the vodvil to make an exposition of the plans it had in mind. We think, contrary to the supreme authorities, that it is, in the end, student business—not class business nor University ,business. But we freely grant at the same time that the incident is far from being a triumph for student self government. The. trifling skirmish is finished. The pity is that it was suppressed, not referred to a committee of .stu dents to be interpreted in the light of the constitution. The University handing down decisions based on the A. IS. U. O, constitution is a choice morsel for the. satirist of stu dent. self-determination. If the students are earnest in their wish to govern themselves, they have to learn to use their heads before they legislate. Like their proto types in congress, laws for laws’ sake seem enough to inspire imme diate respouse in a chorus of ayes. Colds and Grippe Keep Infirmary Crowded We wonder if the girls have been more careful than the boys about, getting their feet wet, or perhaps the boys left their slickers at home just because the sun came out for two or three minutes, or there may be some other reason for there be ing eight boys and only two girls in the infirmary at the present. All arc confined with colds and the grippe and one or two are just tired and need a rest. The two girls are Thirza Ander son and Edna Brockman. The eight boys are Maurice Packer, Wayne Ventch, William Baker, Ted Bather, Ealpli Highuiiller, Ben Wadding Jr., Ken Moore, and Howard Moutgom try. Visitor Will Address All Practice Teachers Dr. .Stephen Leonard, professo'r of English at the University of Wis consin, and chairman of the com mittee of research of the National Council of English Teachers, will be at the school of education today to meet all practice teachers and Back With Honors For Our Oregon TONIGHT marks the end of per haps the most unique venture ever sponsored by the Oregon stu dent body. Since Jack Hempstead, Avery Thompson, and Benoit Mc Croskey left the campus last Octo ber, they have gone around the world as an ..Oregon debate team. They have been successful in their undertaking and are returning to the campus after gaining victories over most of their forensic opponents. It seems strange that a modern university should seek to welcome a returning team of debaters, even after a world tour, with a college rally. Rallies and debates are un usual bedfellows. But why not greet the trio with a rally? They have labored hard and well as representatives of the University of Oregon. They have brought to a successful conclusion the first round-the-world debate tour ever attempted by a collegiate team. Their pioneering efforts have paved the way for similar trips by others, and have spread the name of the University far and wide in a cred itable manner. The achievement is unusual and the trio well deserve the warmest of collegiato welcomes, a rally. —W. C. After first making the unfortu nates take English “A” without credit or extra fee, the faculty tried to whet the students’ grammatie ap petite by charging $10 for -the course, no doubt thinking that the learners would figure that anything with such a price tied to it must be good. As a further inducement, a receipt ill the form of one hour ot el edit has been voted to accompany the ten split. Expensive medicine, but now they can save the coupons. Perhaps in that future day when (floater Oregon has become a reality it may bo possible to surround the Education building with a, soil that is hospitable to a lawn and shrub buy. At present the appearance ot the southern end of the campus can be improved by cutting the tall grass, which threatens to hide the aspiring educators before long. —W. 0. Jail those interested in the teaching I of English at room d, Education i building, at J o’clock. Dr. Leonard is visiting the load | iug institutions in the county, es ] pocially those which have practice I high schools, such as the Univer sity high, investigating the methods of teaching English. Dr. Leonard is the author of a number of books on education, including “Teaching ot | Composition” and a series of ele mentary spellers. ‘ - Oregon Hull Janitor Injured in Accident N. 11. Litherland, who has beei janitor at Oregon halt and the Com nierce building for several years | was seriously injured as a result ot a crash with a car shortly before ; noon Wednesday. He was riding hi: ; bicycle near the intersection ot Twenty-third avenue and Onyr ■ street, when the car struck him. Mr. Litherland was on his wtt\ home for lunch when the accident occurred. E. R-. Tillson, -ISS Ony> street, was the driver of the eai j that struck Mr. Litherland. He re ported to the police that he was not j going mere than 15 miles an huui at the time of the collision sTfcSEVEN L SEEKS A MAN’S CLOTHING WAS FOUND SCATTERED OYER A: WHOLE BLOCK OF BROADWAY THE OTHER DAY. Just try and scatter a woman’s clothing over that great a distance! FALLING PLASTER BREAKS UP PARTY Kappa Sig Dinner Guests Forced To Eat at Card Tables Kappa Sigma entertained Kappa Kappa Gamma at dinner the other night, but plaster started falling from the dining room ceiling, making the table look like Pompeii after Vesuvius got through erupting on it. As a result, the guests had to take to the front room and porches. One reason given for the fall of plaster is that a freshman left a shower on upstairs and that the drain became plugged up. * * * TODAY’S DIRECTORY ANSWER “Don’t call me in the morning.” “Why?” “Wonacott my classes.” ********* * *** * “I gotta go where you are.” * | * The combined reporting classes * * and Elaine Crawford put out the * * Register this morning.

DEPOT HONORED NEW YORK CITY, April 19 — (By K. P.)—A congress composed of representatives from the nation’s “bjg business” firms has been called here for the 10th of May to con sider means of re-financing certain countries of Europe. Among those rvho have been in vited to be present are representa tives from the Standard Oil com pany, General Motors corporation, University of Oregon depot, Ford Motor company, and the J. I’. Mor gan banking firm. An Emerald reporter, after having the above item confirmed at the depot, was informed that prices may have to be raised again. It seems the new Chev truck isn’t big enough and that they are considering the purchase of a Mack. WORTHLESS HONORARY NAMED The most worthless honorary oust ed by the student council, according to Wendell Gray, chairman ot' the ousting committee, is “Grass and Blade,” honorary freshman lawn mewing fraternity. Gray feels that there are no freshmen on the campus who are really deserving of mem bership in the organization. * * * Released from pledge Is Louise Patrician; She just wouldn’t pig The big politician.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS "I'm a senior. Boy, I'm popular!” sfviev si-Kiis Him Tips MeDONALD—“That’s My Dad’ dy.” A typical Reginald Denny light comedy wherein little Jane La Verne, as Pudge, shoves star Denny into the outer edge of the lime light. Denny, a dumb but desirable young bachelor, staggers through a frag ile plot, acquiring a four and* half year old daughter on the day be fore his wedding, and losing his gold-digging fiancee. From time to time Denny shows flashes of the personality that has made his comedies popular with the theater-goers. Tom O’Brien, as the motorcycle cop whom Denny per suades to present a daughter instead of a tag, gave an excellent perform ance. The audience seemed to en joy every expression on little Pud ge’s face, and the clever subtitles brought down the house. “That’s My Daddy” will give you a good evening’s amusement, and it isn’t half as naughty as the title sug gests. Johnny Hines was the Chink’s eyebrows in “Chinatown Charlie,” the preview, last night. It’s a good comedy. —W. S. Also on the program: George Mc Murphcy and his Kollege Knights in “Fun Frolic” with Jack Waldron, harmonicist supreme, nightly at 8:50; “Snookums” comedy and “Os wald” the lucky rabbit; Paramount news events; Frank D.

Prospective merobofrs were discussed, as elections will bo held in the near future. Bell Theatre Springfield Sunday One of the fine pictures of the year Men’s Cooking Class Steals Women’s Title • It certainly looks as if the men were taking this leap year business to heart. Miss Tingle’s camp cookery class es are the proof if you want it. Sho had to turn ’em away. And arc they cooking? Well, yesterday when the reporter happened to wander into the class they were engaged in the intricate art of making cream puffs. Good too. Oh, yes, they’re turning out real cooks over there. Pies, custards and other palate teasers have been turned out, and prospects point to better and bigger turnouts since the reporter has sampled. By the way, some of you senior women who have fairly decent dates for tonight, you might ask them (sub rosa,1 as it were) if they hap pen to be taking camp cookery. You might get a good husband out of this University yet.
