Neil Taylor Night Editor Beatrice Bennett Assistant Night Editors Embert Fossum, Helen Rankin, Elno Kyle Liquor and the Colleges 'C'OR THE s(‘(*om<1 time in the past two weeks, newspapers ■*’ have contained stories of fraternity houses in middle west ern universities being raided and students being arrested for carrying on bootlegging operations. The latest offenders were members of llie Gamma Eta Gamma fraternity at the University of Illinois. Considerable supplies of alcohol, gin and whiskey were confiscated. At Ann Arbor, Michigan, just a short lime previous, police also arrested college men and charged them with violation of the Volstead act. While it is a deplorable thing, when looked at in an ethical light, critics who condemn colleges should remember that the college life is but a cross-sect ion of every-day life anywhere in the country. If there are to be violators of the law in every community which boasts of a main street, college* cannot be expected to be a glistening shrine atop the hill, where no evil can originate or flourish in defiance of tin* laws of the nation. Every col lege has its liquor problem. There is a certain amount of drinking done in this Uni versity and every other university in the state, or in every institution of higher education in the United States. There is, however, little public display of drunkenness such as one finds in many places outside of college. Offenders have been discovered and punished at Oregon just as they were found out at Ann Arbor and Urbana. But the point which should be brought ouL |>qt rarely is, in pub licising the alcoholism in colleges i^ffijit thei:j*"}s proportionately no more drinking in a group of colleige' stifllcuts than there is in any similar-sized cross-scetjion |5pf American youth. When the United States can look ijjito “every walk of life, and say “There is no longer alcohol isintipresont,” then she can turn her eyes on the college and expect to find a similar con dition. g/**? I CTNCI$ tji. Leaks in the Dike tic avowed purpose of holding tlie bin1 eonferenee foi»t fen If n’limcs in Portland is to make money, the l'niversity is losing a comfortable sum through the “bootleu” sale ot student tickets to alumni or other friends of students in Port land. The student exchanges his A. S. U. (). card for a ticket and either sells this or sends it to friends in Portland. The I'ni versity and associated students get no direct return from such a transaction. Although there are conditions stipulated on the student body card which are designed to make transfer of tickets illegal, it has been practically impossible to enforce them. At the graduate manager’s office wheels are turning to de vise means of curbing this sale of student tickets, but as yet no workable plan has been produced. In the interests of mak ing more inonev, this should he consummated. Chicago, due to lack of funds, will close its public schools for two months in December and January, the board of educa tion declares. While the legal machinery is slowly put into motion to provide some source of revenue to pay for the schools, the hundreds of thousands of school children will remain idle, a truly deplorable condition in a city which is supposed to have plenty of money in the pockets of its gangsters and beer barons. - , i!

Campus Forum DEFENDS “LEMON TODDY” To the Editor: A matter that has puzzled me for some lime is the attitude of some University officials toward the humor columns of the Em erald. You know and I know that straight filth isn't humor, but a few subtle wise cracks add that racy touch to a joke which the public craves. Such jokes are mercilessly cen sored from the Emerald humor column. Very often quite inno cent jokes are excluded from the column because someone's nar row evil-mindedness succeeds in squeezing dirt from them. Now the idea of censoring ques tionable reading matter may bo all well and good, and I would find no room for criticism if the policy of excluding it were con sistently pursued by the powers that be. But, the puzzling thing is that professors are allowed to pollute the minds of students by assign ing page after page of such filth as Rabelais and Boccaccio pro duce, and all under the guise of good literature. I like to read a joke now and then that has a racy tang, or a subtle allusion to the obscene, but it certainly disgusts even my evil mind to read page after page of unfiltered gutter slime. T.

For this reason Phi Beta Kappa j on some campuses has sponsored | the formation of a national fresh - ! man honor society, Phi Eta Sigma, to which all freshmen making grades of naif A and half B are eligible. It was founded by Phi Betes, not as a competitor, but to bring the desirability of good standings more concretely before the eyes of freshmen. Many men who go out to make the freshman organization keep ! up the high standard for four , years, and eventually win the coveted key of Phi Beta Kappa.— Washington State Evergreen. | Boy, she sure gave you a dirty i look.

MAY STORES Our Specialty Is Electrical Repair Work Call 304 ELKINS ELECTRIC STORE 63 East Broadway At Christmas Time . . . Twelve Photographs—by Kennell-Ellis— will correctly solve twelve puzzling" GTFT PROBLEMS Call 1097 for an Early Appointment Kennell-Ellis Studios Sue’s Parrot Found Out That it would be a topsy-turvy world indeed if there were not a new whisper fluttering around each day about what it is possible to pick up around in Eugene's stores, and so like the faithful bird he is he brought his tidbits home to help Sue in writing her column, though of course she found some things out herself and how! So it behooves the wise shopper to listen in while the Green and Yellow Parrot broadcasts. Sparkling Touches That glitter their way into the heart of the college girl — pretty buckles that dress up even the simplest of pumps. At Buster Brown's Shoe Store on Willamette may be found some of the loveliest styles of shoe or naments. Speaking of Likenesses! The Parrot whispers that he had his picture taken at Ro manes over J. C. Penney's— and that it enhances even his splendid looks. So he suggests that the students would be wise to have their photos taken for Christmas gifts. The Light That Never Fails Now, as welt as in the old colonial days, we find that . candlelight for soft effects far excels, and when those i candles are set in beautifully and intricately designed can delabras and candlesticks the effect is far more lovely. At the Alladin Gift Shop, 41 West Tenth, some very exquisite candlesticks may be found—and don't forget that the unusual may always be discovered there. Be in Time! To get a good selection of Christmas Cards — for the Parrot says, with a shiver of anticipation, that old Kriss Kringle's day is not so very far off! At Coe's on Wil lamette there are some very smart and individual cards that await the engraving of your name on them. Now It’s— Butterfly Jewelry From England comes genu ine butterfly jewelry set with opals. Old-fashioned girls and Dutch girls are set on real butterfly wings of bine and black with the opals adding touches of brighter colors, f Laraway’s Jewelry Store has this jew elry in broaches and pend ants in different shapes and styles. Fluttering Hankies For the dainty co-ed, linen hand-made kerchiefs from Switzerland and pastel-col ored chiffon dance hankies, and large-sized sport ones that are so effective to swish around. At the Co-Ed Dress Shop on Willamette the shopper will find just such dainty bits to match her frocks. In Case Your Mind Turns to Gifts You might go to McMorran & Washburne's and go up to the second floor to the’ needle department. And then the Parrot went wild, for there he found “pouchiu” pets and jumbo pets in very life-like shapes. . . . Also tapestry pictures, needle point tapestry and rayon pillows in colorful hues. Wintry Days Call for somethin?: warm in hose and at the U of O Co Ed Shop next to the College Side there are some; of the best-looking silk and wool hose. And not to forget a warm head, there are also Barets in smart colors. Girl Knows . . . Is that if she is going to look her best at all times and be in short the'essence of smart, modern young womanhood she will have to visit a competent beauty shop every once in a while. So from experience the Par rot suggests the Eugene Hotel Beauty Parlor, tele phone 647, as a very good place to go. What P? As Friend to Friend . . . The Parrot suggests that you go over to that relative of his, the Green Parrot, and get some really good food— food that pleases even the most particular of eaters.
