Niyhl Editor Thin Issue—Jean Garmuu Student Automobiles In the Springtime ONCE upon a time not so very long ago the Uni versity of Oregon deans of men were in the habit of agitating vociferously against the use of automobiles by the students on the campus. Evi dently the suggested restric tions on the use of student Cars was not received with popular favor so the requests of former deans went by the boards. The number of ears on the campus is as great as ever and increas ing. Spring is the time when a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of Automobiles. So do thoughts of young college women. The result is, judging from personal observation, there are more cars down here this spring term than during either of the other quarters this year. March, going out like a lamb, witnesses gigantic calvacades of motor cars parading up and down Thirteenth street. The ears fill the byways as well as the highways of Eugene. Students every spring direct their attention to the pleasure of joy riding. flow to account for the in creased number of ears and the never ending processions of student driven automobiles? The good weather, following six months of typical Oregon cold and rain, induces the stu dents to bring their ears hack from home wit h them a Her 1 he spring vacation. As for the driving well, what else is there to do? Something must In- done \\ ill: these automobiles. WliaI is 11n- fun id- an nutoino bile that one does not drive, anyhow? And besides that there is no place to park these eu rs. This brings us to the purpose, finally, of lids editorial. The parking space around the ad ministration building is decid edly too small lo accommodate the present herds of vehicles. And the city of Eugene has prohibited all parking on Thir teenth street to avoid conges tion. More parking space or more joy riding or both? Which shall it be? Complex are the problems of springtime. The Popular Mr. Elliott T1IE struggle between di rectors of tin* campus movie and the Junior Vodvil for (lie person of Mr. 1011 io(1. leading man tie luxe, Juts in it somethin;' of comedy ami somethin}' of tragedy. .Mr. Elliott was, it will he remem bered, chosen some time ago i>\ the movie heads to play the role of a dashing hero. Then the Vodvil directors, casting about for campus talent, fas tened their eyes upon the .Harrymore profile of .Mr. El liott, went into a huddle anil emerged with the following de cision; “He s the oulv man for as.” It was not Mr. Elliott's pur pose to cause a row between the two organizations, for evi deut]v\ he was puk tly villinj to bow to the plaudits ot' the crowd over the footlights as well as to flash his teeth from the silver screen. However, others objected; time enough for Mr. Elliott to appear “him self in person” after acquiring fame—like Doug Fairbanks or Duster Keaton. The matter was finally straightened out when Mr. Elliott decided to grace the screen and to give up his other aspirations. That’s where the comedy comes in. The head of the Vodvil took the decision ser iously. To him the loss of Mr. Elliott was not only a great blow, but caused in addition great damage to the Vodvil asi a whole, it was largely the Emerald’s fault for publishing j the information (Column 1, page 1, Friday) and certainly J the rest of the cast will work! under I lie st igma, of not having j the best that Oregon affords in. its production. That’s real comedy. And like most comedy is has a touch of 1 lie sad. 'flic Vodvil chairman be lieves that when a new lead for his production is chosen, said lead will consider himself sec ond choice. That’s what is pathetic — that anyone can think that there is only one Mr. Elliott on the campus. Is no one rise's nose so straight or eyes so flashing? We ven ture to suggest that if the Jun ior Vodvil should double the present si/.e of its already ex travagant production il would perhaps touch not half the tal ent on the campus. Ram or Shine For Easter Hats? \ IL limes are in stun* for Kastcr bonnets and dresses on (lie co-eds, iL' the weather ot‘ the past week or so is any criteria. Sunday morning when all womankind loves to blossom out in the newest and flowcriest of spring creations, is likely to be ushered in by showers according to weather I'oreasts. Several church clubs on the campus plan special programs in commemoration of Christ’s resurrection and doubtless a large number of students will attend services in Eugene churches. The observance of the Len ten season which ends Sun day after a forty-day period of fast has its roots running back into the life of humanity for many hundred years. To day millions of people all over the world are united in its ob servance. Although college students have been branded “irrelig ious" at times in the recent past by strict moralists tomor row s services over the I'nited States w ill see a good represen tation of the youth of today as sisting in the commemoration of Christ's resurrection from the dead after crucifixion.

Of the Sacred Ceremony in . which Student participates, and of the gladiatorial combats which follow. How Student is punished for violation of tra dition). And in my dream 1 saw Student progress slowly down (lie pathway through the green meadows of the Happy Land of Collegia in the di rection of the Golden City of Edu cation, whose spires showed up faintly, far away in the distance. Around (lie turn of the road he came unto a stone bench beneath a pleasant tree, and, being weary, he sat himself down to rest. And as soon as ho did sit himself down upon tiie bench there came running unto him oae Knight, clad in soiled breeches and a wrathful eountcu i a nee. KNIGHT: Avaunt, Frosh! (For such is tin1 term used to designate newly-arrived pilgrims in the Laud of Collegia). Avaunt.- And so say ing Ire smote Student with a great stave which he carried. STUDENT: How now, good sir? 1 am hut a pilgrim newlv-arrived in the Happy Land of Collegia, and I fain would sit me down and rest mo from the weariness of the road. KNIGHT: Avaunt! Get hence! Da rest thou desecrate the sacred throne whereon none may sit save those who have long been pilgrims here, and are called Seniors. Avaunt, I say, avaunt! And he struck Student once again with great force. STUDENT': But, good sir, 1 fail to see what harm it may he for me to sit myself upon the bench when nobody else wisheth to sit thereon. It would be a great boon to travel ers. like unto me. KNIGHT: Argue not, Frosh. The law was writ by the first pilgrim who ever entered into the Happy Land of Collegia, and hath been since enforced, from generation to generation. It is not for such as thee to question, so avaunt! Whereupon Student rose wearily to his feet and once again betook himself along the dusty road, pull ing his hat low over his face to shield his eyes from the blinding rays of the sun.

Bancroft is irresistible even as a rogue and steals the -whole show with his famed laughter and excellent voice. He completely out shines the beautiful Bifclanovu and the handsunfe Haul Lucas. How ever, Baclanova partially redeems herself with her charming singing voice and reveals h r talent in sev i oral delightful selections, reminis J cent of her early career in the light I opera. The plot of “ The Wolf of Wall I Street” is rather unusual and has for its background Wall "street and the stock exchange where the “Wolf” carries on his activities. Of rbnrsc their are a few weak spots ill the picture, but the director lias skillfully hidden them under the cloak of Bancroft’s personality. Al though the action is mostly verbal, there is plenty of entertainment of other brands to satisfy the major ity of theater goers. “The Red Dance,” now playing at the Colonial, was evidently in tended to be a thrilling, heart throb bing drama of the Russian revolu tion, but the director got his wires twisted uhiI turned it into more or less of a comedy. Dolores Del Rio has another of her pet roles in the picture and portrays the cliar i acter of a poor peasant girl who I gains fame as a dancer and marries no other than the Grand Duke him self, played by Charles Harrell. Ivan Limin', a new find for the screen, saves the picture from be ing just an ordinary film, for lie takes high honors right out of Har iri’s hands and creates a new type of good comedy, with his slapstick clowning. If “The Red Dance” had been handled differently, it might have been a great picture, but there is a limit to what even theater audi ences will believe. Anyone with a good sense of humor is sure to’ enjoy the film and forgive the director for liis carelessness. The crowning moment comes when a I DILlS model all steel airplane sweeps down into 1017 Russia and carries ' off hero and heroine for a much ! needed rest.

Airplane Will Be Given To Class of Student Pilots (Co nt in nut from Page One) back because of financial reasons, Delano points out. The price for a ten-hour course with part ownership in the plane in the club will be about or possibly less. Ltround instruction will be included. Ten hours is lhi' required time for a pilot's license. Those who have some instruction to their credit at the present time can finish their ten hours and sell their surplus equity to some other member of the club, if they do not wish to take advantage of it themselves. Part ownership in the plane will be in valuable to those who wish addi tional flying time. Further infor mation may be obtained from Major Eekerson or Delano. The Eekerson Flying Service will probably locate at the flying field in Springfield, as the latter is closer to the campus than the Eugene air port and a large number of improve ments are planned for it as soon as weather permits.

The dissection would have to be long, for there is a lot to be said for and against it. Xot so much for it, though, at that. Agin it: 1.
