Logic based on those words appearing in "Romeo and Juliet” seems the guiding light of anonymous writers, who neglect to sign their names when writing poison pen letters to movie stars or vehe ment letters to newspaper editors. To them, a name means nothing. They would just as soon have a pseudonym signed to the bot tom of their literary efforts as let the public know that all the honors are due to them for its excel lence. It may be modesty which brings a person to ask that his name be kept out of print at the bot tom of his pennings. He may not want Gloria Swanson to know those honey-dipped words came from his own love-starved soul, so he signs the let ter “A Fan” or "Valentino II" instead of Amos Turnipseed. It may be . . . But Dr. Spears, Oregon’s new coach, says that writing unsigned or anonymous letters is a mild form of insanity and he should know, for he is a brain specialist when he isn’t cpaching football players (and possibly when he is). The urge to say sarcastic things about someone else and himself remain incognito has been strong on the campus this year. About three of the hun dred writers who sent in letters to the editor have been willing to back their statements with their names. The rest could be classed as "Interested seniors” or “Bergerac’s” or "Dukackiack’s” or “XYZ’S"—all of which lent great weight to the words contained therein. This is a job of psycho-analysis for someone. Insanity is used as an excuse for many peculiari ties. When a hoodlum shoots a man he pleads in sanity when a man does not wear a hat he does it because he is insane, says an eastern city's mayor; and now they blame "fan mail” to lunacy tenden cies. Anonymous and hatless, the college man is under suspicion. And if they arc condemned for being insane, let them say with William Blake: "I mock thee not, tho’ I by thee am mocked. "Thou call’st me Madman, but 1 call thee Block head.” Classes Awaken Melting' snow on the campus brought to light patches of green grass ttiis week. It also seemed to mark the end of the hibernation of classes. At least, the sophomores and the seniors have shaken off the death grip of idleness and have scheduled class events for the next few weeks. k%>r some time the Emerald has been aiming darts at the inefficiency of class officers anil their lack of anything to do in the hopes that it might stir up a hornet’s nest or two. In its editorials it soliloquized. Hamlet-like, on the use of electing four or five officers for each class who did little else than shake hands. Some results are at last forthcoming. Sopho mores under the leadership of Jack Stipe are plan ning several novel features U> take the place of the deceased frosh parade. Juniors are planning a campus-talent show to replace the too-expensive and time-consuming Junior Vodvil. Seniors are working up a “kid party" this week, and the other day voted $25 for starving Bulgarians. Frosh will dance informally at Gerlinger hall Friday. It is gratifying to see the classes come out of their hibernation under the snow drifts and do something. Class officers are elected to function as leaders of their class and to direct the activities of their group. If there is nothing on the books for them to do, then it is their cue to make work for themselves. Success never came to anyone who sat back and waited for jobs to be thrown at him.

Yesterday afternoon at the initial perform ance three clever one-act plays were presented, and the students and faculty members showed their in terest in the venture by overflowing the small the ater. If subsequent matinees are as successful as the one yesterday, the players will be faced with the problem of finding a larger auditorium. Stephen Leacock would put a lot of men and pipes together in a room, and, if he had any money left over, hire a few professors. That is his idea of college. To get ours he would have to add sev eral boxes of matches. Northwestern university curbed students selling their student body tickets to football games by requiring them to paste tiny pictures of themselves on the tickets. Would one call tharf. “getting by on your face?” They’re still talking in eastern college papers about the assertion that a kiss shortens life by three minutes. And the younger generation goes right on reducing its life-span by several hundred years apiece. Spike, the nondescript white wire-haired dog that has been running around the campus recently, believes in having fleas. They keep him from thinking too much about the fact he is a dog. gt" .g Oreganized Dementia ffi. ■■—.»——«■ ......—..—..—..—..—„—,i£ THE ROAD CURE (An Objective Story) Her eyes, as blue as clear, deep, shaded water —faltered, then dropped before his steady, ruthless stare. Her carmine lips parted and exposed her pink, quivering tonsils. Suddenly she shrieked. A mile away a farmer consulted his watch. “Th’ Shasta is ten minutes ahead of schedule today, by heck,” he said. Man’s Eyes Beady Back liy the railroad tracks the woman leaped desperately at the man, clawing futllely at his prominent, heady eyes. “You won’t,” she said. “You wouldn't. Y’ou couldn’t.” He observed her coldly. "Oh, couldn’t I? Wouldn’t I? Won’t I?” “No,” she gasped hoarsely. He picked her up easily, deposited her in the rumble seat and closed the lid down, despite her struggles. Her voice came from within, muffled. Woman Dissatisfied "I won’t staiul it. I won’t stand it." “You don’t have to," he said. “I know it," she replied. There was a sudden explosion. A boiler factory ten miles away luul blown up. The man's weird black eyes were staring up the railroad track. "It must take a lot of gravel to make this road bed,” he said. He climbed into the car. The machine sped swiftly down the white dusty road. A steady, thumping, pounding noise came from the rear. Replaces Tools "Darn it," saiil the man. He stopped tin' car and got out. It took him l.~> minutes to change the tire. When he had finished, lie tossed the tools he had used back beneath the front seat. Then he raised the iid of the rum ble seat. 'Idle woman raised up as though actu ated by a powerful spring. Her hair was un orderly. "Hello, there, are you cured?” asked the man, "I’m ruined," she replied. “Look at my dress.” Woman Bawled Out “All right, you can ride with me now, he said. "But next time you make a remark about trains, I'll put you in the rumble seat and keep you there." “But “ she said, “doesn’t the engineer blow the whistle when the fireman tells him to?” Takes Out Hands The man sighed and put his hands iu his pockets. He took them out. “Yeah,” he said, “but the conductor doesn't like it.” There was a faint, clanking noise off to the right of the road. A chipmunk had leaped from a fence post and lit on a tin can. owns Buunwl Oregana subscriptions can be phoned to 2480 and 655.

As Mr. Harrison said, “For No Reason At All, freshmen have been parading around the campus without their green lids." The wearing of green saucers by freshmen is absolutely essential to the wellbeing of, not merely the famed Oregon Spirit, and the support of the Order of the “O” when its members are exercising to Oregon’s glory, but is also es sential to the Social and Scholas tic well-being of the institution and its individual members. Now,-For Adequate Reason, these freshmen will dqp the ''green" whenever their “parading" instinct crops out. As was also said, sincerely and truthfully, "This shows utter dis regard of a Tradition that Has Been enforced On This Campus For Many Years." It is very good that this point was brought up. For it stands to reason These Tra ditions Would Not Have Been en Forced for “Many Years"-—Un less They A re Backed by Adequat e and Justifiable Reasons NOW. The Order of the O and the Ore gon Knights have done commend able work in reviving “library steps." Bet us hear no Weak Sisters crabbing. An Amused Senior.

A fire siren even in an emergency call is sufficiently disconcerting, but to use it as a means to exploit a private enter prise is a step further than citi zens should tolerate. It would be weil to remember that by law people are required to give a fire truck sounding its siren the right of way, but it was never the intention of that law that peo ple should give up their rights and privileges in order to advertise waffles. It is in a certain sense shameful that the city of Eugene would allow its fire truck to be used for a ballyhoo wagon. Some one evidently didn’t know what constituted appropriateness in ad vertising. Signed, —An Indignant Citizen. I If I Were FOOTBALL COACH I would ask the Order of the O for a more rigid enforcement of existing Oregon traditions.
