Royalist Taint
Disjoints L. A. Nose
LL on tho sly it seems that Bill
•T\. Adams, as chairman of cam
pus registration last month, was
wagging tho entire national body
politic from his obscure booth in
front of Oregon building. Anyway ]
that’s the burden of a sheaf of evi
dence ho has just received from aa^
anonymous critic down in Los Ang
' Although Bill ’b attacker writes
.with the malice of a Swift and the
candor of a Rabelais, liis fervor

dards sot by postal authorities as
ordinary decency and forbids our

editorializes through sovorai pages
of vari-colorod scrap paper and half
a red crayon, wielded with more
freedom than Webster sanctions.
Through reiteration, the critic
makes his hearty dislike of “King
Al” and Queen Mario the most co
herent ideas in his tirade. And ap
parently lloovcr’s commission in
Belgium and Roumania entitles him
tc the dubbing as “side-kick” of their
highnesses. Since the newspaper ex- |
eerpt faithfully reported a Repub
lican influence on the campus which
showed up in the registration in a
ratio of 201 to 43 of the less dom
inant party in the state, the dia
tribist perforce concedes Oregon \s
vote ns belonging to Hoover. Hence
Bill’s implication in the machina
tions of the royalist party.
The unique contribution winds up !
emphatically, “Boob education plus
Boob production—Bums and Saps.”
In witness whereof there is included
a clipping with an Oregon Agricul
tural College dateline and another
from Southern California University;
marginal notes characterize their
students respectively as “vacant
skulls” and “wop coddlers.”

A Bargain
Without a Buyer
rj'OUR out of the five amendments
“■ voted on in Wednesday’s elec
ion carried without appreciable op
losition. Tlie remaining mehsure
.vas defeated by 178 votes.
Tile proposal to add twenty-five
•eats a term to student body fees
10 us to provide a lecture fund to
mpplant the sale of season tickets
was easily the most meritorious of
Hie five amendments offered for
approval. It would appear that in
voting the measure down, students
thought only of the added seventy
fivo cents to the total of the year’s
expenses and not at all of what re
turns wero to be had from the in
vestment. Each of the four lectures
given on the series this year was
worth what the entire series would
have cost the students had the
amendment carried.
It is recognized that all students
may not have cared to patronize
the lecture program they would have
been paying for had the plan not
been defeated. It is also to be
recognized that many do not take
advantage of the sports and musical
events to which student body mem
bership entitles them. llad the
sponsors of the measuro adopted
high pressure methods and fastenod
an emotional appeal to student
patriotism, Oregon may have ac
quired a lecture fund, just as Mc
Arthur Court was brought to rf
reality. Apparently, students will
stand a high price for amusements
rather than a- moderate, even cheap,
price for culture.
The lecture plans must not ne
abandoned. The failure of the
amendment to carry, creating a lec
ture fund, means the continuance of
ticket selling campaigns, an unsatis
factory way to conduct a University
lecture series. With care taken to
explain the proposition so that the
intrinsic values of the undertaking
are made to appear superior to the
monetary evaluation attached, the
lecture fund plan might well lie pre
sented for approval at another
elect ion.

‘STUDENTS’ DAY” SLATED
FOR STATE UNIVERSITY
Event Expected To Prove Valuable ;
To Campus Folk
EUGENE, Ore., May 3, 1928—
(Special)—One entire week-end,
exact dat(js as yet unannounced, has
been set aside by University offi
cials as “Students’ Day.” During
the two days there will be no dele
gates, guests, or visitors allowed,
and the entire time will be devoted
to showing University students

Gentlemen:
I am a veteran of the Edgeworth
army, still in active service.
I make this claim, challenging all
comers, to have smoked Edgeworth
and nothing else but Edgeworth (when
it was possible to get if) for a longer
period than any other person within
the scope of your territory.
I have smoked Edgeworth for
twenty-one years and will soon start
on the twenty-second.
I’ll admit to having tried other
brands, inciudingso-termed high-class,
high-priced blends and mixtures,
enough to appreciate and satisfy my
self of the superiority of Edgeworth.
In all these years I have never had
one can of Edgeworth that varied in
tlavor or otherwise.
Yours very truly,

A New Arctic Record with RICHFIELD
First to pilot an airplane across the
top of the world!
LYING from Point Barrow,
A Alaska, to Spitsbergen—2300
perilous miles of icy, uncharted
wastes, Captain George H. Wilkins
and Lieutenant Carl B. Eielson have
written a thrilling new chapter in
Arctic and aviation history—a feat
of which Roald Amundsen said,
"No flight has been made any where
at any time which could be compared
clusively! He pinned his faith in
this thrilling flight on a single,
with it!”
Captain Wilkins used Richfield ex*
Wright Whirlwind motored, Lock'
heed Vega monoplane powered
with Richfield aviation gasoline, the
third successive year of his Arctic
explorations with California’s fa'
mous “gasoline of power.”
Use Richfield products in your own
car — recommend them to your
- friends. Richfield actually does give
you greater speed and power with'
out sacrifice of mileage. Its anti'
knock qualities make it the perfect
gasoline for the newer high com'
pression motors.
