Even Text-Book Distribution
A PPARENTLY the business depression has struck the Uni
versity Co-op. Several interviews with campus personages
have appeared in the Emerald, ail pointing out the regrettable
lack of real erudition among Oregon students as reflected in
the comparatively small amount of money they hand across the
Co-op counter for text-books.
Oregon students, the interviews declaim, prefer to save their
money and rely on books in the library to put them through
their courses. Students at Stanford and other large schools
spend much more than we do for learned tomes. Is there, one
interview-source asked suggestively, any correlation between the
book-budget and scholarship?
We prefer to regard the situation as relatively of little im
portance. No amount of propaganda will shame students into
buying more books than they feel they can afford. The relation
between the number of books owned by a student and his atti
tude toward education is obscure, to say the least.
But there is room for a more equitable apportionment of the
student’s texts arfiong the courses he takes. Reform here must
come from the faculty. If certain courses, notably in languages
and literature, did not require the purchase of so many books
unattainable at the library, students would be better able to
buy texts for their other courses.
Students taking the course in French literature have so far
this year been asked to buy six books, three each term. A
probable three more spring term will raise the year’s quota to
nine. At an average cost of $1.25 (a very reasonable appraisal),
$11.25 is the book bill in this one course for the year. The use
of an anthology of French literature or an extensive compila
tion would cut the cost to less than half and would at the same
time allow the knowledge seeker to purchase books on history,
economics or sociology which he might consider more desirable
for his private library than a half-dozen volumes of sixteenth
century French literature.
Hula Skirts in India and Oregon
TTOW many people know that Ramsay MacDonald is a Repub
lican senator? Or that Aimee Semple MacPherson's taking'
a Hawaiian hula-hula skirt to India is the most interesting' news
about India? Or that the proposed state police plan would place
power in the hands of private power companies ?
Those instances given above may seem inexcusable as an
swers in a current events examination given University students
but the mistakes are no more important than those made
daily by thousands of newspaper readers. The examination given
the University freshmen called for hurried answers; the ques
tions given Oregon citizens are proposed months before they need
be answered.
Elections are now some four months old -and many a voter
may have thought more about hula-hula skirts than about the
measures and men on his ballot. But because Oregon citizens
have marked their ballots they have not escaped the problems.
Today new ones are being proposed. The situation in Germany
changed face yesterday. Lust week the Indian problem was ex
ceedingly important.
It is to be remembered, however, that these questions are
now being only Instituted, being only proposed. Our NEXT
elections will call for Oregon voters to decide which men they
want to meet TODAY’S problems. It is likely that many citi
zens will wonder why Ramsay MacDonald is not on the Repub
lican list for senator.
No man nor woman can decide hurriedly in a voting booth
what is the proper solution to a problem which he or she did
not know even existed until long after it arose. Today's new
problems call for study today.

WOUKIMi ONK'S WAV
There once was a time when
working one's way through col
lege was considered a burden on
tire shoulders of a few. Today Cal
ifornia is confronted with a unique
situation. Working has become
fashionable. The incoming fresh
man laments that he did not de
liver papers as a boy ami gets him
self a job behind a lunch counter
with the conviction that he may
be u success in life in spite of his
earlier neglect.
Tia., rush to the lampus work
shop marks the birth of a new
fashion. “Working1 One's Way-’
is something which campus con
vention has prescribed. Otherwise,
how can we explain the presence
in tlie library archives of friends
whom we have always believed to i
be financially well-off?
There is obviously a clique of
students at California unfortunate
civugh to have to sacrifice pleas
ure and luxury in their struggle
for an education. But it is with
the other clique, who work because
fashion dictates it. that we and
the bureau of occupation Uu\ e lit
tie sympathy. These—what shall
we call them, hypocrites?—achieve
no more than the pillage of avail
able funds from more worthy
hands.
As long as the fashion continues,
would it not be wise for the A. S.
U. C. to turn communist? Then
all those slackers who refused to
work could be turned out of the
association where they don’t be
long anyway. And instead of “All
Hail!” for a hymn, Californians
could adopt the delectable strains
of "Where Do You Work-a John?”

EPITAPH
Flown to his forebears
Is Humorist McFitz;
He said that he lived
Entirely by his wits.
* » *
And while we’re on that subject
one of our correspondents would
like to know the best method to
stop the modest youth who insists
that his face is his fortune.
:Jt * *
The best method that we know
of to squelch this pest is to look
at him pityingly. This probably
won’t work, inasmuch as he will
think that your expression signi
fies admiration. The crowning
stroke is then to take a quarter
out of your pocket and hand it to
him with the following words:
“Here you are, old man, you need
it worse than I do.”
WHILE WE DIDN'T INTI
MATE! IT, THIS METHOD CAN
ALSO BE USED WITH ADVAN
TAGE WHEN DEALING WITH
THE OPPOSITE SEX.
And now the news comes to our
j ear that the A. B. C.’s are now of
: flcially a chapter of PI Kappa Al
[ pha. Thornton Oale just dropped
i in to officially warn us that the
j fraternity simply won’t tolerate
i being called the P. K.’s, hut that
Pi Kap is the official cognomen.
WELL, THIS IS ONE OCCA
SION WHEN IT WOULD SEEM
WISE, DESPITE ALL PROV
ERBS TO THE CONTRARY, TO
FORGET OUR A. B. C.’s EN
TIRELY.
* * t
A communication has come from
the house president of the new Pi
Kappa Alpha chapter requesting
that wc print an announcement to
the effect that the house is calling
in all its A. B. G'. jewelry from
circulation and will the co-eds
please drop it at the house. -As
soon as spring term starts, the
president hastily adds, they may
call at their leisure and have It
substituted with the Pi Kap orna
ments.
An soon as spring begins and
the forests etc., spring into bloom
we always have an epidemic of
poison oak. Figures from our lat
est checkup show that Virg Lang
try, prominent bachelordon, and a
couple or three Fijis, Roger Den
nis among them, have been the
first victims of this malady, the
rascals.

NOTICE
To whom It may concern: We
announce that we are discontinu
ing our altruistic policy of giving
free advertising to campus func
tions. Hereafter if any chairmen
or such feci that their function

drop around and make arrange

To The
Love worn
BY
AUNT
EMMA
Dear Aunt Emma:
I am a ravishing semi-brunette
with all kinds of sex appeal and
large, lustrous eyes. I am refined,
have an excellent mind which nev
er wanders (it couldn't go far if it
did), and perfect teeth. I like the
boys but up until a few months
ago I wasn't happy. The boys
would come around once or twice
and then cease entirely.
Then it happened. I got a large
car for a present. Since then one
of the dearest boys on earth has
been paying a lot of attention to
me. He says he loves me and
wants to marry me, but I don't
feel that I know enough men to
be able to choose wisely. How can
I get acquainted with more men
so I can really know my own
heart.
Yours in distress,
-—Juanita Hansen.
Dear Juanita:
T think that you are wise in your
decision to look around awhile be
fore picking a husband. You can't
be more than 25 or 30 and there's
plenty more time to get married
in. You want to know more men?
That’s a delicate question, dear,
since you can’t very well go to them
but must attract them to yourself.
This is really easier than it sounds.

University High Making
Plans for Tournament
Plans for entering the Univer
sity of Oregon high school drama
tournament are being made by the
University high school. Tryouts
for the play "Jazz in Minuet” were
held last night, according to Helen
Allen, who will direct the play.
Mrs. Veola Ross, of the University
high school faculty, will assist
Miss Allen in the production.
Various Articles
Lie Unclaimed at
University Depot
l
i
Shoes, both new and used, coats,
hats, gloves, handkerchiefs, scarfs,
books and numerous other articles
sometimes used by Oregon stu
dents—
No, this is not an advertisement
for a rummage sale but merely a
partial list of things to be found
at the "lost and found" depart
ment of the University depot. If
you have lost anything which you
would like to find, including text
books, call at the department, is
the plea of those in charge.
From the books found there one
might acquire a liberal education,
for almost all the departments and
school of the University are rep
resented. Each book has a name
in it and the owner may have it
by establishing his ownership.
Included in the collection of
jewelry are beads, bracelets, rings,
and pins. There are also several
fountain pens, eversharp pencils,
compacts, keys, checkbooks on al
most every bank in Oregon, purses,
and last but not least a genuine
Hohner harmonica complete in ev
ery detail.
Articles of wearing apparel are
probably the most numerous of all
and includes: shoes, raincoats, top
coats, hats, scarfs, and women’s
gloves too numerous to count. Al
so, several umbrellas of various
styles and quality.
All these articles were found on
the campus, and if not called for,
before the middle of next term, will
be sold at auction.
