When College Men Can Drink “Drinking among students at the University of British Columbia is not a problem. In fact, the liquor situation is not one that worries us to any great degree.” * * * QO says F. H. Soward, professor of history at the Vancouver, ^ Canada, institution. Neither is it a great problem on the campus of the Univer sity of Oregon, but occasionally someone gets into a jam and has to be dealt with according to regulations laid down by offi cials. School leaders in the United States are ever holding their breaths for fear something will happen that might give their institution a bad name that might make the folks at home harbor a distrust in the students’ collegiate guardianship—that might sway the state legislature from its attitude of friendliness. In British Columbia drinking is legal. In the United States drinking is illegal. University students at Vancouver have sel dom been disgraced because of liquor complications, yet drinking is ruled out at the University functions. The whole nation knows about a University of Michigan incident where a few students failed to "get away with something.” We will be far from wrong when we say that nearly 60 per cent of the United States fraternities had some sort of intoxicant in their houses that very evening. At Vancouver nothing prohibited'the more "guzzling” stu dents from visiting the corner beer parlor. The students at Michigan could do that? Not at all! Their beer "parlor” was decorated with collegiate pennants, dressers, and beds—yes, an average fraternity room. Granting that it was rather a poor stunt to exemplify the powers of prohibition by publicizing a fraternity house catch and leave the smiling bootlegger free to continue his most profitable business, let us venture to say that the problem of student drink ing would have been materially below what it is today had jjro hibition, as it is, never been enacted. Nine University Professors 1N1C University professors once voted for Eugene V. Debs •*" ” when he was a candidate for president of the United States. For that reason one of the more able of the legislators at Salem a few days ago expressed Ids distrust of the University. Debs was a Socialist. Socialism, as we understand it, in cludes as a main principle government ownership of utilities. For instance, Socialism would favor state or municipal owner ship of hydro-electric plants. The present legislature, and especially the governor, are com mitted to the socialistic program of government ownership of power sites. Quite probably Governor Meier and the present legislature received the majority of the votes of the professors who cast their ballots for Debs. Ownership, regulation, and control of public necessities was a platform plank for both. Meier, following Joseph, also stood for free speech. Free (speech, it seems, had much to do with Debs being placed in a United States prison. The three of them, two now dead, prob ably would again agree in principle. The Salem legislator was speaking of the principle of Uni versity professors voting for Debs the Debs of government ownership and free speech. Emeraldf Aristocracy CHE is nothing but four pages, black and white, but has over ^ 3000 lives. Each life lived is a pathetic little episode in the whirl of the silent world. Each printed Emerald has a history coidd it only be heard! Each printed page has its merits and its vices. Crumpled, smitten with mud, and trampled by passing stu dents, an Emerald s life is ended only too soon after its emer gence from the blades of the press folder. Ah, another Emerald we see cherished, folded in a student's notebook. Perhaps it will be sent home where the parents may scan it for the name of their beloved daughter. By chance an item concerning the program committee will be clipped for the family scrap book. Yes, an Emerald score.- her sold is given a longer life. On the fraternity door-step a few Emeralds are thrown. They lay there waiting, hoping for eager eyes jealous of one another, perhaps, as to .which would be honored by the house files. Crum pled, they spent the.da\ on the table or davenport only to be dismissed in flames at night. We cannot forget the aristocracy'of the group. Seven hon ored Emeralds arc joined with their fellow issues of the year arid dressed in a beautiful binding. True, they are marked by success, envied by the lets fortunate, and marked by the eves of poster ity.

Cast* of Mumps Appears At University infirmary Mumps are the latest ailment with which infirmary officials have to cope. There are now two stu dents confined as a result of that disease, but there cases are not considered serious. If the weather conditions remain favorable, ac cording to Helen Fleming, infirm ary nurse, the number of patients confined to the care of the Uni versity health service will likely decrease. At the present time there are eight students at the in firmary. Those confined at the present time are: Beatrice Bennett, Thel ma Downer, Betty Carpenter, Per cy Bergenson, Byron Lillie, Os borne Edwards, Ilo Wilson, and j Glen Kimberliug.

It was voted that henceforth members missing more than two consecu tive meetings would be warned, and after missing three consecu tive meetings without excuse noti jtied of being dropped from the club. Elizabeth Plummer, social ehair ! man. made an announcement on the plans for the banquet to be held March 6. Di and Mr L 0. Wright were present as faculty members. But I wearied of hearing her bleat: “Oh that adorable Buddy Rogers, Ain’t he simply just too sweet?” * * * YES, AND THEN THERE’S THE WIT WHO’S ALWAYS COMING UP TO US AT INAP PROPRIATE MOMENTS AND REQUESTING US TO PLEASE NOT GET HIS SHIRT DIRTY, AS HE WANTS TO WEAR IT THE NEXT NIGHT. # * * Another quaint little fact which we had never before realized is the startling revelation that the : sophomore class has some of the most prominent men in school, ac cording, of course, to the pigger’s guide.

HEY, POTWIN, HOW COME YOU MISSED OUT? - 'EAR AND 'AIR Should Students Have Cars in College? “Yes, ask anyone who walks up the Igloo hill.”—Adelaide and Bar bara Laraway, freshmen in Eng lish. * * * “Cars for the University are mighty fine things. There would n't be any work for the campus cop if there weren’t any. Better than walking.”—Treve Jones, jun ior in business administration. * * * “I think they should.

Hall Points Out Need Of Aid in Sheep Industry An emergency exists in the sheep industry of Oregon, and people of the state should make it a point to increase use of woolen products and to increase consumption of mutton and lamb whenever possi ble, it is pointed oiit here by Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, president of the University, who has noticed figures on th esituation. “Every citizen in Oregon has a definite interest in the sheep in dustry," says Dr. Hall, “and we should all unite in helping it in ! every way. While the same thing is true in a more or less degree in other agricultural interests, the sheep men are in a very unfortu nate plight. Increase in consump tion of products will aid material ly, and all of us should seize every opportunity of encouraging this.” House Managers Attention! Now is a good time to have a good housoelcaning - - - get it over bo.fmv exams and spring vacation. Need a floor wax or ? And some floor polish ! Of course. We rent large size floor pol ishers and sell floor polish at very reasonable prices. White-Marlett Company 878 Willamette i Judging of Points Begins in Contest For Radio Talent Only Four KORE Programs Remain on List of Broadcasts With but four organizations re maining on the list of contestants in the second annual Emerald KORE contest, judges are busy to taling the number of points for the organizations that have already made their microphone appearance, and for this reason names of the groups that will appear on the final program on March 8 should be ready for announcement early next week. Alpha hall, Kappa Al pha Theta, Oregon Yeomen, and Delta Zeta are the four groups that will appear on next Sunday night's radio hour. Alpha Upsilon Broadcasts Alpha Upsilon opened last night’s broadcast with an interesting skit describing the manner in which modern song writers get their in spirations. The continuity, written by George Anderson and Fritz Mc Kinney, was mingled with musical numbers by house members. Carl Collins i brought along his saxo phone and violin to offer “Ida” and “Limehouse Blues"—old numbers still in good use. Francis Sturgis, Art Johnson, and Bob Patterson were featured in a trio arrangement of ‘‘Walkin’ My Baby Back Home" and semi classical and modern selections were offered by Fritz McKinney on the Seth Laraway studio grand. Delts on Air Entitled “Babylonia Bust,” the program given by Delta Tau Del ta had nothing much to do with Babylonia, but nevertheless offered some good song and patter. With Bob Holmes as announcer, the Delts presented Ken Rodner, Mau rice Kinney, Joe Hughes, and oth ers in current tunes of the day. Roy Sheedy as interlocutor and Syd Cowen as end-man, carried the minstrel show which Omega hall sent out over the ether from 6 to 6:30 o'clock. “Down South,” “Swing Low Sweet Chariot,” and “Golden Slippers” were southern gems which a male chorus sang in professional manner. Lawrence Opedal's accordian numbers and Syd Cowen’s “Old Man River” were outstanding numbers of the half hour of negro atmosphere. Roy Sheedy and Ivan Kafoury were in charge of the arrangements. "Old Man River” was also a highlight of the Delta Gamma “River Idea.” Done first in classi cal form by Edna Bird, a clever change of pianists was made with Jane Holt playing the second chor us in modern tempo. The Danube, Ganges, Nile, Swanee, and the Oregon millrace were all mentioned via song and music by lone Ander son, Peggy Sweeney, Sally Addle man, Louise Marvin, and the Delta Gamma sextette. “Slug" Palmer served as radio announcer in the absence of Art Potwin, regular director. The main studios of College Side Inn again found a large audience in attend ance. PLEDGING ANNOUNCES! E N T Alpha Lambda of Kappa Delta announces the pledging of Mar guerite Shelley, of Eugene.

CRITIC VIEWS PLAYERS IN “TWELFTH NIGHT” (Continued from Fagc One) Norma Jacobs, as the sentiment al, grief-shamming Olivia has a type and stage-presence well-suit ed to portraying Elizabethan char acter. Her pictorial effect, as she i descended the stairs, was the love liest in a series of graceful stage portraits. The ladies in waiting, too, were beautiful but of a neces sity dumb, having nothing to say. A great deal of praise might be given to the stage setting and to the arrangement of colors. Eldon Woodin, as Malvolio, was a dignified Puritan and a good steward. The most successful part of Carl Klippel’s performance as the Duke of Orsino was his sentimentality. However, he neglected the other shades of the character—his self deception, and the nature of his love for Olivia, perhaps because he was unsure of his lines or un impressed by them. Even his beard was not convincing. The priest, played by Russell Cook, brought his strong and spir itual face down the stairs without mishap and then, in the minutes he stood on the stage went through more facial exercises than could have been comfortable to him, any more than to the audience. Was this an actual soul-struggle going on before our very eyes (and no body doing a thing for him ) or was he thinking of the Santo Domingo fire ? “With hey, ho, the wind and the rain.” According to Hazlitt, the strong est scene in the play is Viola's con Tennis > Days Are Here!

Nancy Thiel sen handled these lines magnifi cently, giving them their full sig nificance and avoiding sentimen tality: “I am all the daughters of my father's house, And all the brothers too: and yet I know not.” And the moral of this tale Is that everyone should see “Twelfth Night.” A Decade Ago A men's music honorary frater nity will be organized shortly on the campus and will petition to Mu Phi Alpha.
