Joe Jumped a Puddle ■JOE HICKLE sprang from his bed on a rain-drizzled sleeping " porch, nabbed a snack of toast, slapped on his four-inch green felt hat, dashed through mud puddles under a sweeping down pour and reached his 8 o’clock lit. class just as the professor was calling the roll. Toast gone, feet wet, and fag in hand, Joe wandered across gravel and puddle bedecked paths to his 10 o’clock. A cool breeze fanned his feet. He imagined how nice it would feel on a warm day. Still, every draft cannot be checked in loosely partitioned buildings. An ache pounding at the door of one’s temple prompts a feeling of dissatisfaction at the thought of attending the next class. Joe procrastinated. Soon he routed the idea and started. His feet were soaked, and what difference did a few more pud dles make? The dry lecture in his 11 o’clock was almost too much to endure. It seemed to last three hours. Finally that bit of educational procedure was concluded. Joe trudged home, getting even with the world by splashing water on passing students. That was easy to do—tiny lakes were anything but scarce. A heavy noon meal of a spoonful of beans and a glass of milk did little to change his attitude toward life. Rather, before tbe completion of lunch, Joe’s head felt like a stadium for a night football game—his face grew feverish and pale. After a discussion of the prevalent cases of colds on the cam pus, Joe headed for the dispensary. He wondered maybe this was a game of “Obstacles” when lie attempted to evade a formi dable pond at the doorstep of the University medical headquar ters. Greeting him was a room full of students. Some hail long, sour faces—some were pale and irritable others had red noses. As he sat waiting for a diagnosis he could remember no argu ments for higher education. Twenty minutes was all Joe waited for the doctor. “Nothing but a common head cold,” was the physician’s re port. “The infirmary is full, but get this medicine at the win dow.” Joe jumped the mud puddle from the dispensary step, placed his green lid carefully on his head and wearily headed for home. He found a haven in his unmade bed on the rain-drizzled porch. When the State Failed rr'HE move of the house managers’ association recently in A appointing a special committee to ussist in legislation ex empting them from taxation serves a double purpose. It concentrates authority and responsibility in a qualified group of men. At the same time it keeps the request in an orderly form. General popular resentment against being taxed for local projects, such as grade schools, in which the students have no interest, is no tit instrument for impressing the legis lature. Whatever may be said for or against the fraternity system. It is certain that if it had not been for the houses which soci eties built, the University would be sadly handicapped. It is well to remember that until three years ago only 90 men of 1500 could live in the men’s dormitory. Women’s dormitories have been almost equally restricted. When fraternities ami sororities took up the burden the state could not carry, they took that burden which dormitories do not carry taxation. A Tradition To Live A HOUND that oiliest of Oregon traditions, Junior Week-end. have gathered several other tested customs that contribute to make that occasion one of the most glamorous and eventful for the students in the entire year. Where the green lid tradi tion for freshmen was considered objectionable because it had failed to keep pace with the growing needs of the University, it is to be noted that prurticall,\ all (lie iiiiilcslrahlc features attached to Junior Week-end have been weeded out In the de velopment of I’niversit'i and student life. To take the place of the bloody flag-pole rushes on Junior Day has come the colorful Canoe Fete, the campus luncheon. Junior Prom, and Mother's Day. Each of these now traditional events udils to the general appeal of tiie week-end activities, and helps to make the occasion one long to be remembered by the students and tin visiting mothers. The whole history of the evolution of Junior Week-end should be studied carefully by the would-be makers of new traditions, and those in whose power it lies to destroy old customs. The story of this event tells the tragedy of traditions founded upon,, class animosities and jealousies and it also relates the graduul growth o! other traditions through the process of elimination ot bad and tlie addition of good features. Traditions of this sort enhance University life, and enliven nictU'M-ie* of undergraduate cUy...

ELECTIONS WILL CLOSE OREGON PRESS MEETING (Continued from Page One) yesterday morning. Dr. Moley is one of the outstanding authorities on this subject in the country, having headed more than 20 searching surveys on criminal ad ministration. Newspaper men are realists and educational leaders are fast adopt ing a realistic attitude toward the tangle of modern affairs, Dr. Moley declared. These two, stand ing shoulder to shoulder, can put unassailable facts before the pub lic in such a way that it can pass wisely on its problems. Too many laws, fancies instead of facts re garding crime, and failure to re gard social problems with com mon sense contribute to an aggra vated crime problem, he pointed out. Oregon editors were urged to associate themselves closely with the research division of the state’s educational institutions in formu lating their policies on many of the important social problems, by the social scientist. He appealed for calm observation and analysis of facts as the basis for minimiz ing social difficulties. Americans pass laws without stopping to think whether the# public will be willing to pay the bill to have them actually enforced, he said, and therefore the laws become dead letters on the statute books. Misunderstandings between the church and the press may be laid at the feet of the ministers just as much as the newspaper men, declared Dr. W. B. Norton, now of Portland, and formerly church editor for the Chicago Tribune. He has just published a book, "Church and Newspaper,” which has attracted wide attention. Religion Has Appeal Religion, like love, is universal, Dr. Norton said, and therefore has a legitimate appeal as news. Min isters. however, must learn to co operate with the press and treat it with intelligence and discretion, while the newspaper must learn to treat the church in the same way Chief among the problems in printing church news is the numerous sects with which the newspaper has to deal. However. Dr. Norton pointed out that all sects are interested in promoting problems of human welfare, and on these can unite. Features are to a newspaper what dessert is to dinner, stated W. H. Warren, Sunday editor of the Morning Oregonian. However, dinner can be served without des sert, but a good newspaper could never be published without its features, which its readers have come to demand as a consistent part of the publication. While syndicated features are important, the paper should intersperse these with a large number of 'local items, Mr. Warren believes. He found, on examination of the Oregon press, that state newspapers fol low good judgment in general in selection of their features. Promotion Plan Needed Every large newspaper should have a well-developed promotion plan, according to Charles L. Baum, promotion manager of the Oregon Journal, Portland. The promotion department corresponds to the advertising department of a store, he said, and not only should it advertise the paper, but should advertise and build up the community in which it exists. Postal laws are made for the protection of the public, declared J. M. Jones, postmaster of Port land, who explained the intrica cies of postal rates to the editors. He cautioned them especially against advertising lotteries. The newspaper publishers were urged to keep an accurate check on their business, rather than al low shoddy methods to creep in, by M. C. Moore, newspaper broker of Beverly Hills, who stated that only in this way can they be sure of getting a good price for their paper in a sale, or that their prop erty will be passed on in good shape to their heirs. Portland Accountant Talks J. A. Bucknall, accountant of Portland, also stressed accurate methods of doing business, and he declared that such lax methods do exist in Oregon and must be cleared up if the newspaper pro fession is to operate on a consis tent profit. How to boost advertising linage in the non-metropolitan towns was described by Elmer B. Byrne, ad vertising manager of the Eugene Register-Guard, which is now the largest non-metropolitan paper in the state. Dr. Richard P. Dillehunt, dean of the University medical school, was the principal speaker at the banquet held last night in the Os burn hotel, at which Dean Eric W. Allen, of the school of journalism, was toastmaster. Josephine Sto fiel, Eugene, represented the stu dents. H. E. Wilder, mayor of Eugene, extended greetings. CAMPUS ♦!
