The days when stu "*■ dents of the University of Oregon could rally ’round, origi nate novel ideas, invent “laugh-getters” and perhaps slip a little something through that might have a double meaning, are gone. The annual show, a vaudeville or musical comedy in which could be inserted that entertainment demanded by normal college stu dents, is fading—in fact, it is gone! In their desire to see the junior class put on a show of which the University may be proud, supervising officials have destroyed the greatest of prized student privileges. They have literally taken the production from student hands. They have exercised the censor's pen till exhaustion. They have inserted what they hope will bring the show to a higher level. They have gimleted their way into the heart of the directorate’s activities and sucked the blood of originality. The show will be good as evening entertainments go. It will be something in front of which staid, unromantic souls may sit and say, “Now ain’t that beautiful?” University officials will no longer have to worry for fear father and mother will “get a perverted impression of college life.” The show, not the Junior Vodvil, is teeming with lovely little dances and pretty little songs. We are lamenting because the Junior Vodvil is gone. Let us change the name, the time, the supervision (as publicity tells it), and we shall be satisfied. If we must cover the ankles of the chorus girls, let us forget them entirely. We’ll wager that the “legit” stuff goes over swell as burlesque. 'Not by a long shot are we favoring some of the dope put over In bygone Vodvils. Lots of it has been rotten. This cun be-left out and the comedy yet retained. We must not forget that there can be excellence in comedy. Comedy can be the best of entertainment and can be exhibited to the adv >ntage of all involved. This idea of emphasizing the esthetic sense of stu dents can be overdone and is often a lot of tommy-rot. Let the student “put his best foot forwurd,” but make sure it is his you see. We are all looking for the best in the world. We hope to maintain the highest spiritual anil emotional standards. All of us do our best at everything. But when that responsibility which - ' wo believe our own is jerked from us - we object. Beyond tne Horizon—What? TN the days when weary pioneers'rode slowly behind laboring _oxen, across bleak stretches of prairie, through rugged ravines, and relentless forest growth, the distant peaks, with their prom ise beyond, must always have been an inspiring sight. Horizons, in the present day, have taken on a somewhat more hypothetical meaning, but, none the less inspiring. Every enter prise, every undertaking, and every human aspiration lias some thing. some ideal, in the future towards which it is striving. Under tlie head of "Horizons” the Emerald is running three times a week an opinion article, in which the editors, like the stalwart founders of the Northwest, are looking towards a greater future, a future of harmonies and noble accomplish ments. Perhaps not now, but as alumni of the University, students who have read Horizons can look back, and realize that some, if not all, of these suggestions have borne fruit, and that the Emerald of their day had brought its laden prairie schooner across the divide, and done its part in establishing' a greater University. Along with four stories concerning higher education on the front page of the Guard last night, we read the headline, “Three Men Killed in Oregon Wrecks." Now that we can't ride on run ning oboards any more, it looks as though the old campus crate was getting an awful lot of unfavorable publicity. “A pair of baby's shoes was found recently in an old stork's nest in a city hall tower at Rastatt, Germany.” Now if some of these arctic explorers will only find a broken-down sleigh and a bag of toys, our childhood beliefs will be re-established. Publication 1* Kclctwd Todaj The Wesley Pioneer, published by the Wesley Foundation, organ ization of Methodist students, wa: released, on the campus Saturday. The publication, which is the first published by the local Wesley pioup, was sent to all Methodist preference students. Tire paper contains news of the local organi zation's activities during the past year and future plans of the club Jack Bellinger, sophomore in journalism, is editor of the paper Lloyd Brown, junior in chemistry is business manager. Genevieve Dunlop, sophomore in journalism and Francis J. Ballister, freshman in journalism, are reporter^ on tin. paper. ^oR'ZO/v > Steps Toward THE UNIVERSITY BEYOND (Horizons Is a series of edi torial articles prepared by mem bers of the Emerald staff in an attempt to suggest possibilities and opportunities in the future of the University of Oregon. Definite constructive criticisms, perhaps at times Appearing for the present' rather Utopian in nature, will make U|5 the bulk of the writings.) The next few months, in fact probably the next few years, are going to be history making as far as their relation to the University is concerned. The Board of Higher Education has before it a report, cumbersome in volume and painstaking in detail, but, nevertheless, thought provoking and certainly subject to much scrutiny before being finally acted upon. Undoubtedly there will be much said on both sides, and it is not for the Emerald to try to decide which steps should be taken and which should be dis missed. We can cheerfully leave that up to the administration which is in closer touch with the situation and in a more logical position to voice approval or dis approval. But, nevertheless, there is one aspect of this whole problem, which the survey suggested, that we do feel should be commented upon; an aspect that the students should rightfully be interested in; and one that is of major im portance whether the survey re port is adopted, either in part or in whole, or entirely rejected. The antagonistic relations be tween Oregon State college and the University should stop. Noth ing either in arrangement of courses or economies can ever be accomplished while the two schools are fighting each other as they have done in the past. It is not for us to lay the blame for these squabbles, nor should any blame laid, since we hope that has all passed. But we are here appealing both to Oregon State, and to our own University, to “bury the hatchet” if they ever expect to reap any sort of benefit either from the survey, or from the board and its appointive power. Of course the present situa tion, with all its uncertainties and its many different aspects calls for a certain amount of fact finding. But we hope that the two schools will be willing in asking for one thing, to con cede another. Only through such a relationship can anything really worthwhile and really beneficial to higher education in Oregon ever be accomplished. HIGHER EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCE TO CLOSE (Continued from rage One) was cited by Dr. Cooper as a de velopment which may have far reaching consequences. The possi bilities of education under such a system are limited only by the imagination. Numerous functions added to the program of higher education and the large increase1 in student enrollment have turned college and university administration into a complicated a n d often uninte grated maze of machinery, Dr. George W. Zook, president of Ak ron college pointed out. How to integrate these into a unified pro gram is still an unsolved problem, which must occupy heads of insti tutions in the immediate future. Stimulation of independent study, with close faculty supervi sion over the scholastic progress through a careful system of con ference, and student government are the ways by which Reed col lege has built up a strong intel lectual institution in the last 20 years, according to Dr. Norman F. Coleman, president. The reliability of college grades as indications of ability was dis j cussed by Howard R. Taylor, of the personnel bureau of the Uni versity, who, with C. L. Constance, ) has recently conducted an invest i ; gation of this subject. Dr. C. V. I Boyer, head of the University of Oregon English department, de !scribed the honors system in vogue here, which stimulates independ ent scholastic activity.

It doesn’t look well for some to wear tuxes and some not to but a certain type of dress should be adopted and carried out.”—Ralph Brown, sophomore in business ad ministration. * * * "I thinR it is all right for them to have different types of dances. However, if it is specified for a certain type they should go dressed alike and according to the specifi cation.”^ Don Moran, freshman in business administration. * * * “I think they should be uniform ly dressed and all ‘all campus’ dances should be informal.”—Eve lyn Stocum, junior in business ad ministration. * * * “Yes, I think they should be Uniform. They should also set a standard for dress and everyone should go that way. As it is at most ‘all campus’ dances you can find everything from formals to semi sport dresses and hats.

It was the most colorful cos tume ball given this year, the men wearing everything from tuxedos to golf knickers, and the women arrayed in a profusion of beautiful raiment, which the Emerald had formerly stated were to be formals.

When 1 was sitting in the library last night a handsome boy came in and sat down in a seat right opposite me. Now, 1 am no flirt, but I just couldn't refrain from looking slyly at him through the corner of my eye. And aunty, darling, do you know what hap pened? Why, he actually winked at me! Do you think he had any intentions—tsh, tsh—and if so, what ? \ours, rapturously, KAKKUCT HIBBEE. Dear Harriet, I do not wish to destroy your hopes, deary, but I'm afraid his intentions were good. Anyhow it's about time they put a screen door on the library. A fly flew into my eye there the other night, too. Yours in consolation, AUNTY EMMA. * * * Dear aunty, l went to a dance the other night, and just couldn’t keep all the boys from flirting with me. Now, I want to keep the friendship of all my girl friends, so I don't desire to take awa> all their men and make them jealous, fan I help it if my charms lure men? What would you suggest? Yours hopefully, 11AL1NOK EXBY. Dear Ualinor, Yours is indeed a weighty prob lem. However, after due deliber ation. 1 think 1 can advise you. W hen a man says "hello" to you after this, regard him coldly, and in an icy tone say, "Can't we be just friends'."' Go on an IS day I diet, and attempt to lo^e y our girl ish figure. Wear cotton stockings and tennis shoes around the cam pus. Have your mother prepare onions each night for dinner, and you can also try eating garlic. Mix a little glue in your face pow der so that men will keep their respective distances. When a man asks you for a date ask him to get one for your homeliest girl friend, too. (This is one of the surest remedies for your trou ble.) Assume a southern drawl, and occasionally change into baby talk. If you follow the above di rections carefully, I feel sure that you will obtain results. If every thing fails, then suicide is the only way out. That always cures. (Not an advertisement.)

The women, on the other hand, found a great deal of diver sion in whispering to each other about the various rainbow colored formals. And, therefore, everyone had a great time, the Blossom Time idea DID get by (without the aid of orange and black decora tions), and though costume prizes were not given away, each person at the shindig felt quite sure that he had dressed as he was expected to. Little Ga Ga was there with Bill Dunniway, but nevertheless, as we said before, the Glee was a great success. FOR SOME TIME IT HAS BEEN A MATTER OF CONJEC TURE ABOUT THE CAMPUS AS TO WHAT THE SIGMA CHI'S OWE THEIR SOCIAL PRESTIGE WE WERE DETAILED TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE CASE, AND AFTER WEEKS OF STRENUOUS EFFORT WE ARE NOW PREPARED TO LET THE SECRET OUT. The Sigma Chi’s owe their suc cess to a well developed plan of child training, to which all their pledges must submit. In the early years of their training the young things are taught how to fill little balloons with water. In later stag es of their development they are taught how to throw these missiles with amazing accuracy. Some of the happiest years of their lives are spent hurling these missies gleefully at toy targets, and after many mentality tests they are eventually graduated into the Sig ma Chi water bag team. Thereaf ter their diversion consists in sit ing at the windows of their resi dence and hurling the objects of so much preparation on unsuspect ing passers-by. The childish glee, made so evident by the joyous lit tle shouts of the contestants, is in vigorating to the hearts of all lov ers of children. Many a co-ed, af ter changing out of a soaking for mal, has written home to her moth er and urged that her young broth er be sent to the U. of O. to be come a Sigma Chi. We are going to urge all our high school friends to pledge Sigma Chi, because no other group on the campus have such high ideals as to make water bagging such a collegiate activity. * # * MOOS1C j (To the tune of—(oh, what’s the ! use, you’ll guess it ennaway.)

Mez, associate professor in eco nomics who is in charge of the Murray Warner prize contest this year. The winner of the contest will receive a three weeks summer course in the Imperial university with all expenses paid. “Oregon students should be proud of the opportunity offered by Mrs. War ner,” Dr. Mez said. "This is the first time in the history of the contest that such a reward has been offered. It is hoped that a worthy student will win the prize and represent the good will which is prevalent at Oregon toward our neighbors, the ninety million peo ple living under the emblem of the rising sun which go to make up the Japanese nation.” The booklet contains complete information as to the course of study which will be undertaken at the summer session. A registration fee of $5 is required of each stu dent. Tuition is $10 a week, total ing $30 for three weeks. “Any one is admitted as a regu lar student provided he or she un derstands lectures in English lan guage; no other requirements are made. Total expenses for the entire trip, summer session, and living expenses as estimated in the book let are first class, $612, second class $480. and third class, $240. These prices do not include the field trip to China which is pro vided for those wishing to go. The total cost, according to the esti mate is, “with third class train and first class steamer, $150.

To the Editor: Although regulation baseball has been in vogue these many years as an intramural sport, the na tional sport is about to be dis carded in favor of soft-ball base ball, commonly known as “kitten ball.” It seems that the P. E, department has adopted a policy of passive resistance to hard base ball in that this department is re fusing to supply equipment to those fraternities which persist in their desire for the hard-ball va riety, although equipment will be gladly furnished those who desire the softer soft-ball game. Although we recognize that the “kitten ball” game has its place in the curricula of P. E. depart ments, we believe the women I Paint Up For Spring The House Give the house a brand new coat . . . or patch up the old to look like new. . . . You’ll appreciate spring more.

If the department is insistent upon the soft-ball game, we have a suggestion which we believe would contribute to the interest in the game. Why not pair off the fraternities and sororities and have mixed teams? This would allow everyone to partake of a mild yet stimulating form of exercise and thus add zest to life on the cam pus. In case the department does not approve of this suggestion, we might suggest a snappy game of bean-bag. CAMPUS ♦ ALENDAR Order of the “O” will hold a meeting tonight at 6:15.
