Welcome, Dads Of Oregon
rpoDAY the University is host to the fathers of Oregon. The
■* Emerald extends its heartiest greeting to the Uads and, as
spokesman for the A. S. U. O., offers the keys to the campus.
Eugene and the University are yours, Dads. Have a good time!
Every effort has been made by committees in charge of the
week-end events to provide a continuous round of entertainment
for the Dads. There will be luncheons, banquets, smokers, foot
ball games, and so forth, to liven up the day. But the real
duty of entertainment lies with the individual students. To the
sons and daughters this week is an opportunity to give their
fathers a little deeper insight into the life and activities of a
great University.
Of course Dad is interested. He w>U enjoy the football game
and the banquet and the smoker, but more than everything else
he will enjoy learning something of the atmosphere surrounding
a college campus. He wil lask questions about classes and the
professors. He will want to know about the college social func
tions and the fraternity. He will surprise you with the sport
dope he knows about the Oregon team on its way east to play
New York university.
So on this fifth annual renewal of Dad’s Day, fathers and
students, make the most of the opportunities afforded!
’Fool And His Money’
-rr>HREE lines at the bottom of the Emerald's editorial columns
yesterday have a significant meaning for some one hundred
men on the campus today. “I'm afraid there’s no charter which
could be devised by the wit of man which would prevent a fool
and his money being parted. Stanley Baldwin.” These were
the lines In question.
Au ambitious, fast-talking group of girls selling subscriptions
to national magazines made the rounds of fraternity houses
Thursday, and by the time a day's work was done many men
found themselves sadder but wiser. They possessed receipts for
money paid in good faith fot magazine subscriptions, but on
those receipts the "suckers” found they also had to pay more
money at once before getting the publications.
College men either have no sales resistance, are mighty dumb,
or too gullible. No one stopped to read the subscription con
tracts put before them, it seems. In fact, most of the buyers
-could not get their money out fast enough.
We have to hand it to the girls. As saleswomen they rank
A-l. We have to give the campus males the “bird” too. As
"“suckers” they are likewise top-notch.
“A fool and his money'' you know the rest.
Oregon’s Blue Book’
*OUSY days ahead for campus piggers the "Riggers’ Guide”
is out at last. With a cover which will no doubt obtain
for the student directory the nickname "Oregon Blue Book," the
guide is again the well-compiled publication it has been in past
years.
For those students new to the campus let it be said that the
"Riggers' Guide” is a complete listing of all students and faculty
members of the University, and gives home and campus ad
dresses; major studies, and phone numbers.
The guide is one of the campus' best get-acquainted aids.
Let it help you.

THIS WEEK IN BOOKS
EDITED BY ROY SHEEDY
A SAGA OF THE FRA IKIES
Their Father’s God. By O. E.
Rolvaag. Harper & Brothers.
This is the third saga of the
Kolm family to be written by this
Norwey^n-American college pro-;
fessor. Rolvaag has followed his
earlier r. ivels of the Dakota prai
ries, "G’ints in the Earth” and;
"Peder Victorious,” with this story
of one of the young Holms who
married an Irish girl who was just
as stoutly Catholic as his family
was Lutheran.
Peder and Susie each thought
the other’s religion was a black j
art. When a child was born to
them, each had it secretly bap
tized under what was considered
the only religion. Susie was sen- i
sitive and emotional, and loved her
religion. Peder was a free-thinker,
proud and arrogant; he scorned
her saints and prayers, her fast
days and confessions. Neither
could ever grow to understand the
other or be the least tolerant. Rol
vaag evidehtly believes such a sit
uation to be hopeless, for he never
clears the clouds away for them.
There is something about these
stories of transplanted peoples in
the American Middle West that
captures the fancy. Simple, hard
working children they were in the
middle ’90s, with only a strong
faith in God to lighten their trou
bles. Rolvaag knows these people
well and writes in a strong, sim
ple style that seems fitting. His
writing never seems to achieve
brilliance and yet there one can
always feel a certain power in his
work. One character stands out—
that of Mother Beret, a simple and
yet dignified old woman whose
wisdom is never-failing. She has
been a leading character in all
three of the Holm novels. Rolvaag
shows great understanding of the
problems of these people and
writes with tolerance on both sides
of the religious question.
Although this professor has
lived in the United States more
than thirty years, he still writes
in Norwegian. This book was well
translated by Trygve M. Ager.

A NOVEL IN THE FUTURE
A White Bird Flying. By Bess
Streeter Aldrich.
This is the sequel to “A Lantern
in Her Hand,” and, like most se
quels, does not in any way com
pare with the author’s first book.
"A Lantern in Her Hand” closes
with Katherine Deal's wedding to
Jimmie Buchanan in 1929 or 1930.
At this time Laura Deal, the hero
ine of "A White Bird Flying,” is
12 years old. Mrs. Aldrich’s new
novel deals with Laura's mental
conflict between her desire for a
career and her wish to marry, but
it thrusts us into the future some
fifteen years or so, which makes
us feel that the story is unreal,
although it is utterly plausible and
could happen to anyone.
It is a beautiful story and is
beautifully written, but never does
Aldrich soar to the poetic heights
she attained in its predecessor, “A
Lantern in Her Hand.” Let us
hope that she doesn’t build a story
around some one of Laura Deal
Kiuemiller’s children for at least
another 50 years. Let’s wait and
catch up with time a little bit.
One little bit of philosophy
which most of us know but never
put into words, Mrs. Aldrich wrot ’
about Old Oscar Lutz upon his
death:
"Humans are queer. A man,
living and well, is ignored or criti
cized. Dying or dead, he is no
ticed and praised. Death sheds a
temporary glamour over the poor
est soul. It is as though in dying,
he has accomplished something
which life never gave him.”
And then when she writes of the
old man's funeral:
"At the cemetery, the narrow
house was ready for Old Oscar.
Sod houses in the beginning of the
pioneer days and sod houses at
the end."

yofnu LOVE
Line Without Money. lly Floyal
Dell. Farrar \ Kinchart.
"Love Without Money" is the
story of two adolescents, Peter
and Gretehen, and their struggle
to love “each other in the way they
prefer. The opposition of their
parents and the scandalized re
bukes of their home town do not
deter them, and they finally reach
their Mecca. Chicago, and the
right to an open love affair.
The book is rather surprising for
a modern novel. We thought that
writers had given up this hulla
balloo about the younger genera
tion years ago. l’lie story is very
poorly written, with a slow-mov
ing, outworn plot. There is no
beauty in the book either in the
story and its character, or in
the style of writing.

WHAT A GAL!
A Rod-Headed Woman, By Kath
erine Brush.
"Boy, what a gal!” is your
thought when you finish the ram
bling tale of Lillian Andrews Le
gendre, who starts life as the
daughter of a railroad switchman
and later becomes the wife of a
millionaire.
She plays her men for fine
houses, fine clothes, and fine
times, and does she win? Boy,
and how! What a gal! What a
story!
She may have started life with
a Ford mind in a Packard body,
but in spite of everyone and every
thing, she gets there. She is
shrewd and a shrew, sparing no
one in the slightest. When Ren
wood society laughs at her, it
merely spurs her on to attempt to
conquer New York—and God help
us, but Brush leaves us there with
Lillian on the train going to meet
her new husband, when we know
that she is merely playing him for
all she can. What happens to her?
Whom does she conquer next?
Leave it to the red-heads to create
a keen story.
By the way, rumor has it that
Hollywood has obtained it for Joan
Crawford. What a picture!

We are offering' a prize of one
pun to the person who identifies
the forsaken individual who last
night slipped a penny in the slot
of the mail box in front of the Na
tional bank on Willamette street,
and then’ looked up at the huge
clock to see how much he weighed.
Here comes Little Irvin of the
Vigilance committee to make a re
port on the Awful Oinicron Pie
house.
Dear Lemon Palooka:—
Truly was I nearly driven fran
tic when I entered the portals of
this mansion. The girls nearly
mobbed me. They examined my
spurs carefully and one of them
told me factiously that I should
call them Moment because time
flies on the spur of the moment.
I was dragged into their sun par
lor. There was a very comfortable
davenport in the little room and it
showed undoubted signs of wear.
I am not sure just wear, but I
think that there was one spot in
the middle.
I tested the lamps to see if they
were conducive to good studying
but to my surprise, no lamp in the
sun room would give light. I sur
mised that light for studying pur
poses would be supplied by the old
flames of the girls. These old
flames, I understand, are often
more than half-lit.
Truly, Lemon Palooka, I have to
report that this house is a den of
iniquity for I found two croquet
sets in the basement. Oh, these
wicket, wicket girls!
I saw one or two of the girls
swimming last summer and I
would urge Jack Hewitt, the var
sity swimming coach, to look over
this house for his team prospects.
Excellent for mwas displayed by
some of the girls. One of the girls,
