On January 27, Tuesday of this week, the Emerald announced in its editorial columns that mid-term examinations are almost here. It was pure guess-work on the part of the editorial writer, although experience told him that because fully ten days had passed since the last student registered in the University the examinations were on their way. In a faculty bulletin on the same day the registrar’s office delivered in the morning mail what Emerald carriers had de livered several hours earlier. The registrar said: “PREPARE FOR MIDTERM GRADES About February 4 mid-term grades will be requested by the registrar’s office. Instructors are urged to be preparing some basis for making out mid-term reports, so that there will be no delay in returning the request cards. It is espe cially necessary to be prompt this mid-term, as the term is short, and undue delay in sending the reports to the stu dents will make them valueless.” As a bit of friendly advice to a competitive news service, the Emerald suggests that the registrar;’^ office prepare next week its announcement of a request for winter term final grades. “It is especially necessary to be prompt ... as the term is short." An Athlete’s Attitude rpHE attitude of the Associated Students toward athletes rep resenting the University of Oregon was clearly expressed at the annual football banquet by Hugh E. Rosson, graduate man ager, when he declared that the organization felt no obligation to an athlete further than making conditions possible to enable a man to enjoy the opportunity of engaging in a sport which he likes. Rosson’s talk was right to the point. He declared that, with due regard to the forthcoming publicity and praise, the main reason for a man playing football was because of his love of the game as such. Such is the type of man desired on teams representing the University. Countless opportunities in the way of travel are offered men with enough ability to win a place on Oregon's football team. A small fortune is spent on each man each year for his travel expanses and his equipment. The very best in coaches are employed at Oregon, men whose recommendations will carry much weight if the athlete desires a coaching berth after graduation. Every effort is being made to make the conditions for participation in sports at Oregon the best possible. The Associated Students will do everything possible to help athletes to play their best game but when it comes to having an athlete demand pay for his services, it just isn’t being done. Something must be said about the weather. Spring dresses, sleeveless sweaters, topless roadsters, and mill-race parties have entered the picture early. Only wait until the next rain then drop back into the same old grind. tYea, someone is always taking the fun out of life.) Have you ever heard of anyone refusing $25,000,000':' That’s what the Red Cross plans to do in case the appropriation trill passes in the house. If congress has nothing else to do with it, we could probably find some place to put it. Senator Howells declared the other day that it is hard to enforce prohibition in Washington, D. C., because bootleggers do their business in private houses. Doubtless. Senator Howells is in favor of government-owned liquor supply stations for boot leggers. A Eugene Parent-Teachers' association will discuss "What to do when the child says 'I won't.'" College students ought to attend. They can learn what to do when baby says "No!" ♦ EDITORS HITHER AND YON ♦ t'OLLKGt; ( LOT! u s “What College Men Aie Wear ing,” blares a headline from a pop ular magazine. It should be, “What a Few of the College Men Are Weaving,” because the pic tures shown are of men dressed in the height of fashion. Suppose the author should take a walk down the campus of any large university wdufi clas.-es are out. He might write something like this: “The newest wearing apparel seen this winter is the overcoat, which made its appearance with the cooler weather. It is being worn by a few of the colder-blood ed men. Any color is in season, ranging from a light gray, through the browns to black. The cut of the coat * may bt anything front five years back, to the latest thing from the tailors. “Hats are sometimes seen, es pecially in storm weather, be cause it is easier to wear a hat than to dry the head, very few of the men carrying towels for that purpose. The hat, to be correct, should have as many dents and creases in it as it is possible to put in, and still stay on the head. It should be worn at an angle, never straight. The most profic ient method of putting a new hat in condllion to be worn, Is to place it ( n the ground and jump on it with both feet several times. If this dr ;s not suffice, repeat the process. "It is not necessary that the coat or trousers match the vest. Sweaters of any solid color, or variegated colors, may be worn with any pair of trousers.- House coats, pullovers, and leather jack ets are also in season. Corduroy is the favorite material for trou sers. “Shoes may be of any hue, but. brown and black are the usual col ors. It is not necessary that they have a sparkle from a recent pol ishing; in fact, that is almost bad taste. The heels should be of solid leather, with heel plates, and the wearer when walking should em ulate the sound of a pile driver at work, this being a hang-over cus tom from high school days. Over shoes, rubbers or umbrellas arc not much in evidence.” Outside of these few critical points, the author of the maga zine article was probably correct. —Daily Kansan.

"A man who can ring the front doorbell of a strange sorority, walk in as if he owned the place, and then make himself perfectly at home.”—Sid Hoffman. * * * “There are two distinct types of collegiate men. One is the type who drives around in a roadster with the top down, wears his hat cocked onto one side, smokes a pipe, wears dirty cords and knows everyone on the campus. The other type wears horn-rimmed glasses, knows most of his profes sors intimately, and can usually be found among a pile of books in the library.”—Dorothy Kirk. # * * “The average high school sen ior.”— Martin Geary.'

Hodge, professor of geology, has complet ed his program of crossing the continent by every possible route. Dr. Hodge left six weeks ago on the Canadian National railway through the Canadian Rockies to Toronto, where he attended the na tional convention of the Geological Society of America. A week ago he returned through the Royal Gorge of Arkansas on the Denver, Rio Grande, and West ern, thus having traveled over all the routes. “The famous Willamette me teorite was one of the most inter esting things I saw,” said Dr. Hodge. “It is the prize exhibit of the American Museum of Natural History, as being the largest me teorite ever to fall in the United States. It is shaped like a bis cuit, five feet in diameter and three feet thick. There are enor mous cavities in it as big as pump kins. Found on a farm just south of Portland, it was ruled by a court that the huge mass of iron belonged to the owner of the land, having been a gift of God. “At the Peabody museum at Yale university I saw the restora tions of all the various kinds of horses in history arranged in size from equines the size of terriers to the modern animal. This exhib it is especially important to Ore gon people, as one of the most im portant links in the series was contributed by Professor Condon of the University of Oregon de partment of geology from material he had collected in the John Day ! basin of eastern Oregon. | “The convention was a sort of I reunion by Oregon geologists. I had the opportunity to meet four former Oregon students there, Thomas Thayer, Farrell Barnes, Don Fraser, and Eugene Calla ghan.

WOULD SOME ONE MIND TELLING US EXACTLY WHAT BROUGHT ON THE INTRAMURAL VVA TERBAG FEUD THAT HAS SO SUDDENLY BROKEN FORTH INTO FULL BLOSSOM?

The entire town is seething with their indignant cries. Vinton Hall, the editor of this paper tand who we hope doesn't get at a look at this before it goes to press) is in hiding, his whereabouts known but to a few faithful associates. “Get Hall,” is the cry of the populace. The reason for all this hubbub is as follows: It seems that Hall, lialph David, and one or two oth ers were down at the radio station the other day giving the 15-minute Emerald news broadcast. After the broadcast was finished Day Foster, formerly a well known figure in campus political rings, but w ho is now announcer for HOKE, asked Vinton to amuse the public while he went in to switch controls. Hall, left fidgeting be fore the mike, felt, with sinking heart, his entire stock of anecdotes fleeing from him. Cold inspira tion broke out upon his troubled brow as he visualized his myriad of listeners who were impatiently waiting to hear his voice. So, with i prayer In his heart, lie started to extemporize in the following fashion: "Once upon a time there were three wise men. They rode not upon the backs of camels, but through dense forests. They came to a path, ladies and gentlemen, they er or yes they came to a path. Ah ah. did I mention that they came to a path? A deep, mysterious path it was. They went down this path, the first wise man. the second wuse man. and the third wise man. They were suddenly shopped by a large obstacle which barred their way. It was a stump. [ I I ladies and gentlemen, a large in surmountable stump. They thought and thought and thought. Yes, in deed, they thought.” At this junc ture the announcer returned and told Hall to finish in a hurry. Sud denly, while grasping vainly for a climax to the concise, lucid tale, Hall was seized in the grasp of in spiration. “In fact, ladies and gen tlemen, they were completely stumped.” The last that was seen of Hall, so it was said, was a fleeting glimpse of him jumping out a back window while his confederates were trying to hold the door against the mob of irate radio fans who were speeding from all directions with weapons in their hands and thoughts of tar and feathers in their minds. Hall has sent out bulletins to his pursuers and promises that if he ever gets out of this, he'll never go near a radio station again. * * * MORAL: IF YOU DON'T LIKE CHLOROFORM KEEP AWAY FROM THE ETHER. iaRM@M3l03ISJS®a®SEISlSlSiSISJ3IS13S CAMPUS ♦ ALENDAR Order of the O group picture for Oregana will be taken today on the steps of the main library at 12:40.
