Advertising Solicitors—Tuesday: John Ilagmeier, Jack Wood, Betty Zimmerman, Cliff TN summary of a long list of activities that may attract the interest of students, the Daily Illini of the University of Illi nois sets out what it considers six advantages of participating in extra-curricular work. They are: 1. Gives rating privileges. 2. Acts as an incentive to grades. 3. Forms lasting friendships. 4. Develops personality. 5. Trains for professional and practical work. G. Shows way to live with the world. Completing its editorial, the Daily Illini says, “For the stu dent who has ability to both keep up his studies and work in activities, we believe that he is neglecting a vital part of his university life when he stays out of extra-curricular participa tion.” An Oregon senior after reading the Illinois editorial found it subject for rather cynical comment. After four years in extra curricular work, he was impressed more with its disadvantages than its advantages. He revised the six points to read in this manner: Participation in extra-curricular work 1. Sets up false standards. 2. Acts as a preventive to grades. 3. Forms surface friendships. 4. Perverts personality. 5. Trains for petty racketeering. 6. Shows way to appear to live without really knowing the score. While these points may seem wholly facetious, there is some thing to be said about the disadvantages that may come from participation in extra-curricular work. Often a student shows more real strength of character when he stays out of student activities. Many times the leaders in student affairs find that their class work is suffering because of lack of time to devote to studies. For the campus “politicians” the friendships formed are often only surface friendships. Perhaps there is even a degree of "petty racketeering.” But for the student who can indulge in extra-curricular work without neglecting his class work, and who is working witli the thought of acquiring practical experience for later life work, there is much to be gained. Lord. Political Puff-Balls *• \ FTER ii nomination speech three minutes long the two major candidates will each speak for three minutes, out lining their plans and platforms, IF ANY.” The Emerald political editor was shrewd enough to supply the ‘‘if any” when writing the above sentence in his story on nominations yesterday morning. He realized that in past years nomination speeches have been mere utterances regarding per sonality and committee appointments. Members of the associated students must not be blinded by the thought that new ideas, policies, and so forth, are absurd when the duties of the student body president are considered. His job is far from one of sitting around in his sanctum balanc ing a pencil on an ash tray or making a pep talk at some rally assembly. The president is the cue man in the activities of the associated students. He must formulate his plans as soon as he assumes office. HIS PLANS SHOULD BIO CRYSTALIZED BEFORE HE IS ELECTED. The president of the associated students appoints certain members of committees. He, with the president of the Univer sity, names two members of the finance committee. Members of the athletic committee are chosen by the president. The ap pointive members of the publications committee are selected by him. The music committee is organized by the president’s choices. Members of the forensic committee, the student build ing fund committee, as well as one member of the student rela tions committee are named by the new and retiring presidents. The president of the associated students acts as chairman of the student relations committee, the publications committee, and the executive council. Thus we have a picture of a portion of the powers of the president. By constructive policies hinged around each of these committees a man may be marked as qualified for the position. His committee appointments could be made in the best interests of his policies regardless of political promises. To have men with definite platforms up fur the approval of his fellow students would indeed make toward solid student gov ernment with a definite future. AT THE ASSEMBLY TOMORROW MORNING WE ARE EXPECTING EVIDENCE OF DEEP THOUGHT AND SIN CERITY FROM THE CANDIDATES WHO SPEAK. Students Warned By Deans Against Shooting Rapids With the advent of the canoe ing season, Hugh L. Biggs, dean of men, and Hazel P. Schwering, dean of women, have deemed it advisable to warn students of the regulation concerning shooting the Willamette river rapids. A statement issued jointly by the two deans yesterday follows: “It seems expedient at this time 1 of the year to call the attention of the students to University reg ulations against shooting the rap ids on the Willamette river in ca noes. “During past years the river, particularly that portion of it known as the rapids, has taken a rather heavy toll of student lives. "Unless one is an exceptionally good canoeist and strong swim mer, it is not wise to venture put on the Willamette river at all, and no student should attempt the rapids.” A Decade Ago April, 1921 The canoe fete will have an or iental atmosphere for its motif this year, according to the chair man in charge. “Nothing But the Truth” will be the name of the senior play. Today is "Doughnut Day” which is being sponsored by Theta Sigma Phi, women's honorary journalism honorary. A four-year curriculum for major students in the department of military science. EUGENE CHURCH UNION FINE, PARSONS AFFIRMS (Continued from Fage One) an extensive program of religious education were adopted, as would be possible with the enlarged staff and more efficient work of the new church, this union would be very beneficial and would strengthen the religious situation of Eugene and the University.

Skeie?’’ I asked after one of the collegians left the store. “Oil, yes, what did he want?” "Well, he's all excited about being initiated this week end and is bemoaning the fact that he can’t get his pin for quite a while. ... 1 guess he wants to plant it, and you know he can't plant his brother’s pin. So he was in a dilemma.” "Maybe we can help them out. Do you suppose the Greeks will like this plan?" And here is what Mr. Skeie offered. If all of the neophites about to be initiated into the secrets of the broth erhood or sisterhood will come down to the store and pick out the pin they de-ire to wear or plant. Mr. Skeie will order it and it will be here sooner.

HOME TOWN ON MAP When Archibald Peniweather vas but a very young child he was >vercome by a strong desire to lome day become a great detec ive. At a very tender age he be *an to study with that purpose in nind, and the greatest aid to his ihildhood training was an English joke book which he read from cov ;r to cover. This reading taught lim keen insight, as he was obliged :o study quite intensively to dis cover the meaning of the jokes,. and to attempt to find the point. (Later on he read the Wetfoot and obtained the same results.) Well, little Archie eventually came to the university and became a de tective in earnest. His great study was along the lines qf “suspicious characters.” A certain group which frequented part of 13th street most of the day troubled him a great deal. They were a harmless enough looking outfit but they were always talking in some remote language which other stu dents couldn’t understand. Finally, however, Archie decided that peo ple who smoked such awful looking pipes, and were continually trying to mimic lawyers couldn’t possibly be dangerous. While at the univer sity Archie made some startling discoveries. For instance he found out that all the ATO’s don’t spend their vacations in the university infirmary, that all college men don’t sell life insurance during the summer months, and that the uni versity band really isn’t the best in the world. When he graduated the University of Oregon lost a valu able asset. In fact he took two Friendly hall sheets, and several pieces of dormitory silverware with him. “In college I’m a failure,” Wailed little Tom McCall, “I can study, dance, and neck, But I can’t play kitten ball.” We saw the University band pa rading around the campus the oth er day carrying a large sign. Evi iently the boys believe that it pays to advertise. TODAY’S SCOOl’! And what’s this we hear about Bill McNabb going canoeing with Estelle Johnson yesterday and tip ping over the canoe. Sounds like i fish story to us especially since ive’ve heard from good authority that Bill is a swimming instructor it the University high school. 5— Photograph As a Gift... for graduation is most complete. There is some thing different in a pic ture—it is a gift that can not be duplicated by cost -—because it is of you. To look at your photo graph in later years will bring memories of the happiest days of your life, college, the way you ap peared just before the completion of those four pleasant a n d enjoyable cycles of learning—then graduation. This year our engravers have made up something different in picture frames —different b e c a u s e of their richness in design and different in their last ing quality.
