"Ain't That Perty?”
rpHERE will be no more Junior Vodvils. 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.

> 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.

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

integrate these into a unified pro

which must occupy heads of insti

Stimulation of independent
study, with close faculty supervi
sion over the scholastic progress

are the ways by which Reed col

years, according to Dr. Norman

Should “.VII Campus” Dances
Be Uniform in Dress?
“I think they should be uniform.
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 is
very difficult to have an attract
ive dance when there is such a var
iety in dress.”—Olive Calef, senior

EMMA (
Oil, aunty Knunu,
1 am just thrilled to death!
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.)
Yours as per usual,
EMMY.
ers he could pity the poor boobs
who were sweltering in thir formal
straight jackets, while the victims
of the latter infliction could look
down disdainfully on the vulgar so
cial out-casts who were hopping
about in knickers and what have
you. 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

we said before, the Glee was a

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.

Contest Winner’s
Japanese School
Mez Receives Literature on
Murray Warner Prize
Summer Course
A 44-page illustrated booklet
describing and giving general in
formation on the Oriental Cultural
Summer College of Tokyo for 1931,
which is conducted annually by
the “Japanese Abroad” at the Tok
yo and Kyoto Imperial 'university,
has been received by Dr. John R.
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. With
second class train and first class
steamer it will cost $175.

WHY NOT BEAN BAG?
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

it is not fair to the women to take
their game from them.
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.
