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

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.

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.

A FRESHMAN HONOR SO< IK1A
I • o °
When the day coni' s foi elec
! tion of s'-nioi.-' to Phi Beta Kappa
and Phi Kappa Phi, the recogni
j tion has come too late to serve
I one purpose of these societies—
I that of inspiring students to a
i real interest in high scholarship.
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.—

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.
