Working Margin
Rather High
'T'JIK chairman of the finance
committee of llie Junior
Weck-ena directorate argued in
a communication in this morn
ing’s Emerald that the $-»()()
profit realized by the class on
the campus luncheon is .justi
fied because of careful budget
ing on the part of the chairman
of the luncheon, and that the
chairman of the event should
have a reasonable working
margin in preparation for the
luncheon.
It is true that the chairman
of the campus luncheon is to
he congratulated on providing
so good a feed for ifs750. It is
true that she should have a
reasonable working margin
while planning for the lun
cheon, but that she should need
a margin of $.'>()() is beyond the
limits of probability.
The correspondent points
out that tlu> profit realized
on the luncheon a year
ago was only $20. Why was
this*’ As the luncheon of a
I year ago was not noticeably
• better than the one this year,
and as apparently the number
of people attending was ap
proximately the same, the small
profit a year ago must have
been due to poor budgeting on
the part of the committee in
charge. If $500 can be saved
by careful budgeting one year,
there is no reason why it can
not be done again.
The students of the univer
sity are taxed fifty cents each
for the express purpose of pay
ing for the campus luncheon.
If an excellent luncheon can
be provided for little more than
half that, there is no reason
why the students should con
tribute the additional sum to
the treasury of tin1 junior
class.
If the tax is retained next
year for the purpose of giving
the chairman of the campus
luncheon a sufficient working
margin, it is only fair that the
profits realized on the luncheon
be turned into the treasury of
the associated students. For
it is the members of the A. S.
IJ. ()., not the junior class, who
pay for the function.

A
SCRUM
a
Tn tile I'M it in':
In answer to your editorial in
Wednesday’s |m|ii'r regarding the
redaction of foes for tlio culupus
luncheon, 1 believe tlmt this would
ho ii very unwise move, It is true
that a large profit was rouli/od hut
this is unusual as iu the past almost
the entire amount has heeu used
for the luncheon. The prefit last
year amounted to only $-0 while
over $900 was spent for the home
coming luncheon this fall.
J believe that the food served this
spring was of the best quality and
the menu excellent and the profits
a result of the highly efficient
management of Kldress Judd rather
than any reduction in either the
quality or quantity ■ f the food, The
original estimate was $9,ill hut
through careful purchasing and re
selling the surplus at the close of
the meal, Miss Judd "ns able to cut
down tlie expenses a great deal. Sev
eral items that had been charged on
the luncheon bill in the past which
would otherwise reduce the income
were placed on the campus day ex
pendit arcs.
A surplus must be allowed so that
the chairman of the event can have
a good working margin and will not
In' hampered by keeping within a
stated amount of money and if the
fees are cut this person will be
placed in a difficult position and
the probable result will lie a re
duetiou iu the quality of the local.
A check on the lines was made
aud it is certain that very few out
sitters were fed or that students re
turned a second time. The lunch
eon is the only campus affair where
a complete atun sphere of sociability
and friendliness can be found and
if the participants are required to
bring their student body cards it
will lose a great deal of the sociable
spirit Hint now prevails.

STUDE’S
PROGRESS...
A Satire : By Wilfred Brown
BOOK Vil
(How Student is summoned
before Duke Registrar to give
an account of his progress
while a pilgrim in the Happy
Land of Collegia. How be
cause of unsatisfactory answers
to the question of the duke,
student is exiled from the Land
of Collegia. Of the feeling of
peace, relief and happiness
which came upon him in his ex
ile.)
Anon as Student journeyed along
i the pathway through the Happy
' Land of Collegia he came to a great
wall which extended laterally across
the landscape, blocking his way. At
the end of the pathway, there was
an arch, which was closed by a
steel wicket gate. Before the wick
et gate there stood in line a great
multitude of pilgrims, and at the
fore end of the line there wore di
vers knights, vassals of the Duke
Registrar, wsho examined in turn
each of the pilgrims before allowing
him to pass through the gateway.
After a few hours of standing
upon his feet, it came Student’s
turn to be examined by the knight
at the head of the line.
KNIGHT: What hast thou seen
along the wayside? Discuss fully,
being brief and explicit.
STUDENT: To be explicit, my
lord, 1 have seen weary pilgrims
wandering aimlessly through the
Labyrinth of Registration and at
length relieved of their scrip before!
being suffered to-fare forth into
this land, while other pilgrims who
are called Athletes are suffered to
enter without passing through the
Labyrinth, without paying their
scrip, and without being railed upon
lo present their eredentials. 1 have
seen—
At this moment Halfback present
ed himself at the gate and was let
through without question tty the
knight.
KNKiHT: Continue, 1 beseech I
thee. What else hast thcu seen?
„ STUDENT: 1 have seen the new
ly-arrived pilgrims in the land, save
tlmt class which is called Athlete,
grieviouslv punished and beaten
with staves under the name of tra
dition. 1 have seen innocent young
pilgrims inveigled into entering in
to entering the (ireeian delis of the
land, where they were mistreated
by tlu> inhabitants thereof, and
were infected with a loathsome dis
ease which is called Slothfulucss. 1
have seen the Athletes and their pil
grim supporters of this laud vie in
mortal combat with those of the
neighle ring land of Agriculn ox er
nothing. I have seen utterly fickle
female pilgrims who did naught but
prey upon their fellow companions
of the road. I have seen the land
torn with civil dissension between
two utterly dishonorable und per
fidious political factions. 1 have
tjeeii ■ —-.
KNIGHT: Enough of this kind ■
if talk. Thou slialt come before;
the Duke.
So for the second time since en
tering the country, Student was led'
into the presence of the mighty
Duke Registrar, one of the greatest j
dignitaries of the nobility of the !
land. The Knight and Student
bowed themselves low, and the
Knight sayeth unto the Duke:

liver, across Lake Athabasca, down |
Slave viver, across Brent Slave lake
to the McKenzie of the north and j
down tile tatter to its delta at the
edge of the Arctic ocean. At the
head of the Mi Kea/.ie river delta
is a portage of SO miles over te one
of the head streams of the l’orcu- j
|iine river in Alaska. Because of
the heaviness of this portage, Burg's
plan is to leave the large canoe at
Fort McPherson, the starting point
of the portage, to lighten all freight
as much as possible, and then fori
the two men in a couple of small
skill kavacks to float dO miles down
the Porcupine to its junction with
the Yukon. At this point they ex
pect to get a Yukon steamer which
will carm them up the whole Yu
kon to the head of navigation uud
the beginning of rail.
Front hen Dean Rebec states.
the journey will be pretty much the
ordinary Alaskan trip; by rail to
Bkagway and by steamer to Seattle.
The trip is planned in such a way !
that unless there should be unex- 1
pected serious delays or mishaps it
can- be accomplished in time for
Dean Kebec and Burg to be back
in Oregon in ample time for the
opening of college.
Ames Burg, as in his last year’s
j trip down the Yukon will take many
I pictures, some of these moving pic
tures and others just ordinary pho
• tographs. Both kinds represent a
serious business and professional in
I tercst for Mr. I}urg. lie has ar
; ranged with moving picture people
j in Los Angeles whereby they ex
pect to use his films, whereas his
ordinary photographs are employed
in a variety of ways; for example,
he has just completed an illustrated
article for the National Geographic
Magazine reproducing numerous
scenes along the length of the Yu
j kon and sundry points away from
| the river. He is an expert canoeist
and traveler in remote places and
a photographer with an eye to in
teresting and beautiful scenery. His
i long journeys represent in part the
wanderlust of a man who has been
a sailor and adventurer most of his
j life but partly also the work of a
! serious and able observer and re
j corder both by picture and the writ
ten wertl. Mr. Burg, who is at pres
ent in Portland preparing for the
trip, was for two years a student at
Oregcn, taking special work in jour
nalism and was interested in many
activities on the campus.
THEATERS
By OSBORNE HOLLAND
When Michael Allen wrote “The
Green Hat,” lu> had no idea it
would be produced on the screen
and called “A Woman of Affairs.”
llut the scenario writers couldn’t
pass up the opportunity to spoil a
perfectly good nc vel so they coaxed
the producers to inveigle Gr*ta Gar
bo and John Gilbert into taking
the leads and went ahead with
their plans, in more ways than one,
“A Woman of Affairs” is about
the best first run picture the Co
lonial has ever shown. Of course,
the director didn’t intend for the
audience to- even smile but a few
of the choice scenes are so absurdly
tragic that one can hardly restrain
his laughter.
The picture owes most of its
charm to the comic relief furnished
by mistakes in directing and dra
matic technique. The fact that
Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., needs a
haircut is particularly amusing since
he has never appeared with shorn
locks since his juvenile leads. Old
reliable Lcwey Htone furnishes the
much needed touch of character por
trayal and Dorothy Sebastian plays
a regular game with Miss Garbo
trying to throw Gilbert into her
rival’s arms. Greta seems to have
fallen down as a vampire and lacks
the old fire in her burning kisses,
but of course that might be the di
rector’s fault. Let’s hope so.
Now there isn’t anything particu
larly great about "A Woman of Af
fairs,” but the picture is highly
amusing, and amusement is the first
aim of any motion picture. Gilbert
is wi nderfully well cast and out
shines his entire supporting cast.
Most of the minor stars overplay
their parts and almost bring tears
to the sympathetic audience with
their terrible emotional struggles
and gruesome antics. If one does
n’t look too closely and can appre
ciate accidental comedy, he will
probably enjoy “A Woman of Af
fairs” more than the best of out
right comedy or melo-comic drama.

Gentlemen:
1 have used Edgeworth Smoking
Tobacco for t he past t wenty-five years.
Two years ago 1 took my trusty hriar
along on a trip abroad, intending to
revel in the delights of the famous
mixtures in London. 1 confess that I
did not carry along with me any of the
little blue tins of Edgeworth. But the
joke was on me. I went back to Edge
worth, only this time I had to pay 45c
for a 15c tin of Edgeworth!
Incidentally, on a trip through
England and later through Ireland, 1
w as surprised to find t he wide distribu
tion and ready sale of Edgeworth in
Great Britain. A frequent and famil
iar sign in Dublin, Cork and other
cities in Ireland was a white streamer
announcing a new shipment of Edge
worth. To make such a conquest in
the home of smoking tobacco must be
very gratifying to your house.
Sincerely,

Tolstoy’s servant
The servant went to market to buy pears, of which his
master was inordinately fond.
“Good fruit,” said the master,
“or a beating for you!”
There were delicious pears in the market, and the ser
vant selected a dozen of the finest in appearance. But here
entered a doubt: Were they equally good in flavor? Would
they satisfy the palate as well as the eye? The more he
considered the matter the more anxious he became. That
beating if the fruit were not satisfactory!
Desperately he bit into one. It was good. But the others?
Recklessly he bit into a second. It also was good. But
how could he be sure the merchant was not cheating on
those that remained?
In a frenzy he snatched a bite from all in turn; and then
in triumph brought the fruit to his master . . .
