Doubtless a few plans for the future will fade into oblivion and turn out to be hollow idealisms, but without new thoughts and unconventional ideas little progress could be antici pated. This issue turns the second leaf of the three-page book of the 1930-31 Emerald administration. It concludes winter term pub lication. Each incoming editor surveys the field, glances about for opportunities to do his bit in bettering conditions around him, and lays the necessary foundation for accomplishing the ends called for in his plans. During the period of foundation-laying many of his blue-prints lose their poignancy- new facts are re vealed, and they become invalid. These he discards and immedi ately begins search anew. Why not allow things to run along as they are ? This ques tion is sometimes asked of him. Or, why be like the syndicalist, always seeking out the wrong? Because, he answers, it is the urge, inherent to those of the newspaper profession, to be among the makers of the world, and claim a share of the responsibility for social and political alterations. He feels it his duty to be a leader in the endless race for supremacy, whether it be among institutions, states or nations. He cares little to mould the thoughts of his fellow men his duty is to provide solid ideas upon which they may ponder. The Emerald has completed two terms of foundation-laying. During these few months it has not been dormant. Though there is always the likelihood of misinterpretation or the possibility of persons taking exception to subjects with which it has dealt, we feel that much solid advice has been presented through this editorial column. We are satisfied, not necessarily with the tangible accomplishments, but with a most apreciable general effect. In such a message as this we cannot neglect the oft-told story. The Emerald’s sincere cooperation is with the members of the associated students. It is owned by the students and maintains the sincere determination to support action taken by official bodies of he students and the University in so far as it is believed fair, worthy, and justifiable. The Emerald feels free to announce its conscientious opinions and plans which are be lieved to be for the betterment of the institution as a whole. With this in mind a special editorial column will be run next term under a heading which definitely points out the aim of suggestions made. Here will appear pointed editorials meant for the best interests of the school. They will be built on the foun dation constructed during the past two terms and convey the Emerald’s sincere suggestions for progressive steps. Examinations an Example FINAL examinations follow this last issue of the Emerald for short winter term. There will be one week of examinations, one week of vacation, and one day of registration. Those two weeks and a day offer ample proof of a contention before stated ill these columns. Registrations, examinations, and vacations take up too much time of the college year. Each has a function in the University. The Emerald is no advocate of a plan for abolishing examinations or vacations; it does believe, however, that the matter is overdone. No golf professional, to borrow an example from the President’s Pen, leaves so little time for practice of the game as the University leaves the student for study and lectures. No golf professional so frequently takes the club out of his pupil's hands and asks him to drive a ball without that club. The golf professional's first aim is to teach. If the University is waiting for a more serious community oil' students who will study instead of "bone" during repeated "final" examinations, it is waiting in vain. “Quizzes” may in stinct; "finals” do not. And while the University waits it may well be classed as a retailor of education, as interested in the wrappings and gilt string of education as in the core of learning. t3IElSISlSfBISIHISJSfSlSISlSlSJ31S15J315®SJS®SISlfflS/S(SI3Jc:!lS(HISI51SMSJ3I5I5rcirSJ0S/SJc- rTi Spring V egetables To tone up your table , . . eomiipr in . . . more plentifully . . . green peas . . . green string beans . . . asparagus . . . eiieunibers . . . radishes ami green onions . . . # * • Remember . . . we handle Johnson's Floor Wax ami rent the eleetrie polishers . . . by the da> or half day . . .

Which all causes to wonder at finding two men who haven’t had enough physical education that they must go about lifting dumb belles. * * * LNIVERSITAS TRAGEDIES A senior with a face like a punkin, And features ingrown and sunken, When asked why so blue, Says, “Sad but true, The trouble is that I’m flunkin’.'’ * * * WETFOOT HALL OF FAME Above we see Fletcher Udall, who, in addition to being the pro fessional college comic, sings ten or and speaks Japanese pidgin. He says that he developed this lin go when some helpful soul told him that the Japanese pidgeon was the ideal mailman. Mr. Udall can usually be seen with his feet in hot water and a mustard plas ter on his chest jollying the nurses down around the infirmary. “An ideal place,” he says, “to escape bill collectors.” Fletch is here snapped by our column photog rapher in characteristic pose. “Who was that lady I saw you with here in Eugene last night?” one of the Chi Psis has just asked him.
