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.

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

emerged with the following de
cision; “He s the oulv man for

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

Several church clubs on the
campus plan special programs
in commemoration of Christ’s

large number of students will
attend services in Eugene

The observance of the Len

of fast has its roots running
back into the life of humanity
for many hundred years. To

STUDE’S
PROGRESS...
A Satire : By Wilfred Brown
BOOK II.
(Of the curious traditions of
the Btappy Land of Collegia.
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.

By OSBORNE HOLLAND
The McDonald theater offers an
unusually pood program this week
with “The Wolf of Wall Street,”
George Bancroft’s first talking pic
ture. 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.

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.

“SCARLET SISTER MARY”
Julia Petcrkin
Instead of going into a lung dis
sertation on negro novels in general
and “Scarlet Sister Mary” in par
ticular, 1 ’in enumerating points for
and agin the book. 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. It is by the author of “Black
April” and therefore should be good
and isn’t at all, but merely a medi
ocre negro novel.
-. There are lots and lots of negro
novels now.
3. It gets monotonous—the hero
ine has nine illegitimate children
and one grandchild of the same ilk.
4. The heroine isn’t convincing
enough. She isn’t well drawn, in
spite of the verbosity with which
she is pictured.
f>. One important character, the
other figure in the triangle, simply
drops out of existence.
(i. And lots of interesting things
could tie done with hint ....
7. There :s no plot Interest until
you get so far along in the book
that any sane person will never get
that far. (I finished it).
5. Its spiritual theme i; over
worked. Nobody wants to Income
morally purged b> a motel any
more.
b. i didn’t like it. (Please note
that the most important criticism
is last).
Now we’ll give Mrs. Pelerkiu a
chance.
Per it:
1. The dialogue is good.
“. The heroine has nine illegiti
mate children .and one grandchild
of the same ilk. •
It has a beautiful black cover,
it has red letters on it.
