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

borne Edwards, Ilo Wilson, and

A decision in regard to absentee

l)r. 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

Now is a good time to have

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.

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
