Discrimination ...
A New Song . . .
About Sidewalks . . ,
JT is our suggestion that the
Southern Pacific enter its
Springfield bus in Homecoming
noise parade. With as much clam
or as an entire battery of field ar
tillery and a few incidental ma
chine guns, it delivers periodically
a harrassing attack on class reci
tations. The minions of the law
are very diligent in seeking out
student offenders who operate
noisy automobiles. What particu
lar virtue, may we ask, rests in
the racket perpetrated by the
busses? Why are they allowed
to maintain a nuisance when the
students are strictly prohibited
from doing the same in a much
lesser degree ? The noise at times
is almost intolerable, and cer
tainly in an age of mechanical
achievement the difficulty could
easily be remedied. We sincerely
hope the bus compa'ny will find a
damper for noise which would be
far more appropriate to a Fourth
of July celebration than a public
carrier.
rpHE noise committee comes
forth with the idea to stimu
late original composition and to
produce a new variety of Oregon
songs. To be the author of an
entirely individual and original
piece, .accepted by the student
body as its official alma mater
song, is a unique distinction. But
the contest won’t end with this
one result. If it is properly re
sponded to, we should have an
increased number of singable
songs. The musical scores will
receive the acid .test of popular
approval as judged by the adap
tability of the songs to group
singing. There is going to be
no element of arbitrary selec
tion by a committee. The stu
dents will choose their own. We
repeat, it is an unusual oppor
tunity for university musicians
to originate a satisfactory alma
mater song, and to receive the
commendable approval of their
fellow students.
* * *
TJWITH fear and apprehension we
take up the cudgel against
the newly acquired independence
of women. Forsoothe to say, we
are not going to swing very hard,
and intend to confine our attack
to a very minor problem. Cer
tain very prominent members of
the faculty have attributed the
crowded condition on the sidewalk
from Johnson to the education
building to the reluctance of the
women to give away any portion
of their cherished right-of-way.
However, the women can very ef
fectively charge the men with
cluttering up the sidewalk space
in front of Oregon and Commerce.
Let’s build more sidewalks and
preclude any feud between sexes.
* * *
rpHERE is no more discouraging
A task than attempting to lead
a few hundred half-spirited stu
dents in a yell practice. Obvious
ly the purpose in holding tl^ese
practices is to better organize the
rooters in mass yelling. To ac
complish this without the impetus
furnished by a tense football game
requires concentrated co-opera
tion. It is practically impossible
to teach students new yells during
a big game, and so we choose the
medium of impromptu practices
and rallies. The yell staff needs
student body co-operation to
make these successful . . . not
collegiate nonchalant indifference.
Hall Returns
From Travels
Over Oregon
Mother’s Clubs Formed in
Many Cities; Tour
Takes 10 Days
GROUPS ARE FORMED
President stresses Need
For Co-operation With
Outside Forces
“The Mother’s clubs, which were
successfully organized throughout
the state in our recent tour will
prove as beneficial to the mothers
as their organizations will to the
university,” declared Dr. Arnold
Bennett Hall upon his return to
Eugene yesterday.
Accompanied by Mrs. Walter M.
Cook, president of the Oregon
Mother’s club; Mrs. J. F. Hill,
president of Portland Mothers;
and Miss Marian Phy, executive
secretary of the mothers, Presi
dent Hall and Dean Powers, of the
extension division, have been trav
eling about the state for the past
10 days in the interests of the
Oregon Mother’s clubs.
During the tour, besides form
ing Mother’s clubs in every town
visited, a complete course of study
for Oregon Mothers dealing with
the problems and policies of the
university was outlined. This
study, i.t is believed by Dr. Hall,
will aid the university in carrying
out its three primary functions;
mainly to give intellectual and
spiritual training, to conduct re
search, and to foster adult edu
cation.
Mothers, Dads Have Job
| “Spiritual training must re
ceive the support of the home,”
Dr. Hall said, “and it is the job
of the mothers and dads to give
this needed training. It is also
the desire of the university to de
velop a true relationship between
the university, the students, and
the parents.”
The Mother’s clubs will be a
large factor in this growth, Dr.
Hall stated. Through the new
course of study, which will be
handled by leaders chosen by local
groups, it is hoped that an intelli
gent understanding of what the
university accomplishes for their
sons and daughters will be ob
tained by the various Mother’s
clubs.
“An intense interest in the uni
versity was shown all over the
state,” Dr. Hall said. “The moth
ers were enthusiastic over both
the organization and*the course
of study suggested.”
^uesuons uuuineu
The outline contains questions
and information on ten topics to
be discussed by the grodps. The
plan is to use this outline as a
basis for open discussions and re
ports. A complete description of
all schools are contained in the
outline, adequate information of
living conditions and expense, an
explanation of the honors system
and other useful data.
In each of the thirteen towns
visited, a general meeting of Dads,
Mothers and alumni was held,
which was followed by separate
meetings of the dads with Presi
dent Hall, and mothers with Mrs.
Cook. Both groups organized and
elected officers in towns where
this had not already been done.

Students of Violin Display Talent
In Excellent Recital at Auditorium
By V. H.
Lovers of the violin were in for
a treat when Juanita Oskins and
Esther Wicks, students in the
school of music and pupils of Rex
Underwood, presented a recital of
delightful music before an atten
tive and appreciative audience
last night.
Beginning the program with a
duet by Bach, the two young vio
linists, recipients of the Julliard
scholarship, at once won the
hearty applause of the audience.
The first number “Concerto in D
minor’’ introduced three definite
types of music. Vivace, the first
part, was offered with all the
briskness of the professional and
from the very start it could be
sensed that the students were put
ting whole-hearted effort into
their playing. Largo, a second,
was presented in its true sense, a
solemn degree of movement. In
stead* of being introduced for
merely temporary effect it seemed
the underlying motive for entire
part. It was as a cradle rocking
one to sleep.
All the swager and life of the
free violinist seemed to be brought
out with the final movement of
the first number. A quick lively,
j and vivacious touch allowed ease
from prevailing formality.
Individual characteristics could
be detected from the solo groups
presented by both students, the
first of which was given by Miss
. Oskins. Leading this group was
' "Gypsy Dfince” by Nachez which
| undoubtedly was the most fasci
nating of the three. Enchantment
| of a mysterious nature existed

and nothing could have seemed

Bess Templeton to Head
Campaign; Lois Nelson
Chosen Assistant
GOAL IS SET AT $1300
Chairman Names Eight
Other Girls on
Direetorate
The annual Y. W. C. A. drive
will be launched this coming Mon
day when, with Bess Templeton,
junior from Portland, directing, a
large force of campus women will
set out in an effort to secure
$1,300.
The drive directorate, announced
by Miss Templeton, follows: Donna
Gill, Virginia H. Smith, Harriet
Kibbee, Mildred McGee, Katherine
Kjosness, Ann Baum, and Gracia
Haggerty. Lois Nelson is assist
ant to the director. Each mem
ber of the directorate heads a
large group of workers who will
take active part in the all-campus
canvass.
Plans Complete
For several weeks already Miss
Templeton and her assistants have
been lining up plans for the in
tensive undertaking and they have
their organization down to a fine
point. They are convinced that
every woman student on the cam
pus will be reached during the
three-day effort.
Appealing to students on the
face of what the Y. VV. C. A. ac
tually accomplishes every year.
Miss Templeton said yesterday
that the drive leaders want wom
] en students to consider the worth
of the organization. "We want
everyone to give, but we don’t
' want giving to be half-hearted,
j and we want students to take time
to consider what the Y. W. C. A.
really is,” she declared.
Explain Purpose
Briefly, these are the points
which the drive leaders will stress
in their explanation of the organi
zation :
Leadership training opportuni
ties are opened to many students.
The employment department of
the organization makes it possible
for many students to remain on
the campus every year. Last
year 235 students received work
through the Y. W. C. A. and were
able to earn a total of $10,128
during the year.
Discussion groups, taking up
religious students, world prob
lems, world fellowship, and other
topics, are provided.
Inter.collegiate conferences of
fer chances tor students to get
together in discussing personal
and religious problems. Retreats
are held every year at Seabeck,
Newport, Portland and at other
places for groups of from 15 to
20 persons.
Many Events Held
Five o’clocks, with informal
worship once a week, are held.
Staff dinners, the Junior-Senior
breakfast, the annual membership
banquet and freshman week teas
and parties are social events
which take place in the Y. W.
C. A. each year.

Mysterious Fossils Discovered in
Dark Basement of Old Villard
FTNDER the scuffle of hundreds
of pail s of feet, down in the
basement of Villard, dark, low
ceilinged, and dirt-floored, rest
serenely and peacefully (not at all
bothered by Professor Howe’s
daily lit survey quiz and the trou
bles that infest the upper regions
of the building) the remains of
mammoth whale bones, huge teeth,
and head of some fossilized pre
historic monster, who roamed
this country, geology profs only
know how long ago; funny shells,
leaves, and rock formations that
would make the profs over in Con
don shout in glee.
In one corner is an old-fash
ioned folding bed, you know, the
kind that looks as if it might fold
up on you some night while you
are asleep in it. Where it came
from, why it is there, and where
it is going, is a mystery. The
building where English is taught
is an appropriate place for folding
beds. On top of it are two huge
dilapidated coffee urns, the kind
that used to be used at “Joe’s
Place,” and other such elegant
dining houses of yore. Mystery
No. 2: why are the coffee pots
there?
