Ducdame, Ducdame Ducdame, Ducdame, what word is that? ’Tis a Greek invocation to call players into a circle. —As You Like It. npHE product of one of the latest and most commendable stu dent activities is offered the campus today in the form of a 24-page literary magazine, “Ducdame.” We hope it meets with the favor due an enterprise of its type. Many times in the past have small groups of students, branded as the “intelli gentsia” by the majority, felt the need on the campus for a suit able outlet for their writings and bravely gone ahead with their publication. As a consequence, literary magazines have sprung up like mushrooms, only to be trampled underfoot by a heedless campus. But "Ducdame” should find success. Its stories are of the best, its woodcuts and poetry well done, its price reasonable, and its printing pleasing to the eye. The first edition is limited to 400 copies, not all of which will be on sale here. Planned, written, edited, and published entirely by students, with financial aid coming from interested faculty members and townspeople who felt, as did the editors, the need of such a lit erary publication, “Ducdame” is a magazine by Oregon students for Oregon students. We welcome its appearance, and hope for its continuation. In Layman’s Tongue \ SERIES of lectures appealing to a larger circle of students and townspeople than has been given at the University for several years will be inaugurated tonight when Elmer Pendell of the economics department speaks in Guild theatre. In the past noted lecturers, scientists and travelers have been brought to the campus through various tour agencies. Some ot these have been of general appeal to the campus; others have attracted small groups of scientific men, while others have drawn audiences through their spectacular and interesting adventures. This year the curtailment of the budget which has forced the retrenchment program of the University in all its departments made it necessary to lop these lectures off entirely. Believing that the campus needed a series of scholarly lectures given in layman’s language, the free intellectual activities committee ar ranged for six members of the faculty, each highly schooled m his own department, to give such a series. Looking over the list of lectures scheduled for the next few weeks, we conclude that this year's series will prove of greater general interest both on the campus and in the city than have those of past years. The subjects chosen are widely different in their scope, but all, judging from the titles, will be such that every student would find them easily comprehensible and of no little value in relation to subjects of everyday concern. The Emerald feels that the committee has filled a very defi nite need on the campus by the presentation of this series. ‘Journey’s End’ Not Reached <<JOURNEY’S END,” acclaimed by enthusiastic houses at its four performances last week, will go to Astoria Thursday for a one-day stand. This stirring document against war is one of the finest presentations we have been privileged to see on the campus in recent years, and the Guild Hall Players are de serving of a call to the coast city. We only wish that this fine piece of work by the drama de partment, under the capable leadership of Mrs. Ottilie Turnbull Seybolt, could play still other cities of the state, carrying an example of the work of University of Oregon students to many communities. The Eugene Register-Guard, in an editorial yes terduy, acclaimed the play and called, on the part of Eugeneans, for more performances here and in other cities. We quote from the Register-Guard: “It is to be hoped that they will not shelve the play with the four performances. ... It merits an extended run in Eugene. ... In Seattle, or Portland or Los Angeles, or any of tne larger cities, the presentation would be worthy of extended notice, on its merits.” Other fine examples of the drama division’s work are now in preparation. It is with the greatest expectation that we await the presentation of “The Trojan Women” and "Liliom,” scheduled for showings this term. , The Safety Valve An Outlet for Campus Steam All communication* are to be ad* dreaded to the editor, Oregon Daily Emerald, and should not exceed 1M0 word* in length.

Anil That’s So Bull To the Editor: Of course Pioneers, Yellow jack ets, Trappers, and those others are good names, but why didn’t you leave the lists open longer? Ao l understand it. a good fight ins' animal was wanted as Oregon's football mascot to give it its name. Well, here’s one that’s got them all beat. It is short and therefore fits into headlines. It is in harmony with those olden days when Pio nerrs and Trappers trekked across the Old Oregon Trail in covered wagons, it is a popular name and denotes something tough. It is al literative. It is OXEN! “The Oregon Oxen.” Think of it. What headwriter can't fit Oxen in? “The Oxen weigh one ton on the hoot from end to end.’’ How's that for an advance season story line '.' You can write about 'tUoit leather-jacketed warriors” with some sense to it. “The Thundering Herd” will get by all right. Then there are Lumm-oxes and Dumb-oxes. While the executive council de bates, hurl the name oxen at them. Once a Webfooter. Oliver Politicus. WE WANT SCOREBOARDS! To the Editor: Ever since the University has had athletic teams we've been hearing the pro’s and con's of the student manager system and with the result that tonight there are two men and a boy reaping glory with water buckets and towels, for every athlete who goes on the floor. Those who get a little tired of seeing the O’s with M's in them parading the campus in battalions, often wonder just what has to be done before an otherwise normal student finds himself be-haloed thus. Well, they handle the de tails! And among those details none is more important nor more ob vious to the garden-run of stu dents—than the task of tending the scoreboards at basketball games. Last night a large crowd turned out to see the Webfoots defeat Idaho. By how much? Well, that depends on the sex of the student. If you were in the girls’ section, O. K., the score was in sight. The men took their choice between fac ing the game and craning their necks to take in the lonesome scores at one side of the court. Show us a couple of student managers at each scoreboard at the next game, please. Give ’em two letters- but give us some service. EMERALD Bruce Hamby, sports writer of the Emerald and campus corre spondent of th4 Journal, will give a sports talk over KORE at 4:10 this afternoon in connection with the Emerald radio hour. Hamby will discuss basketball, which opened the Eugene conference sea son last night with the Idaho tilt.

English Students Informed On Politicsand WearShorts “Oh ,yes, all Englishmen wear shorts- the shorter the better — that is, when they are attending the intercollegiate conference of the Student Christian association,” stated Marcia Seeber, in describ ing the last summer session at which as national Y. W. C. A. traveling secretary she was an ex change delegate from America. From Great Britain and Ireland to this camp conference in Swan ick, in central England, came 606 men and girls, the former always in shorts despite the rainy Oregon like weather, and the girls, devoid of make-up and in the shortest of sport dresses. Professors from Ox ford, Cambridge, and Glasgow led the discussions on student prob lems, religion, psychology and in ternational relations, etc. “In fact,” admitted Miss Seeber, “as far as their interests went, I could easily have imagined myself at any American student confer ence.” One of the most striking facts that Miss Seeber noticed was how well-read English students are on national politics and international affairs. They can talk intelligently on any phase of them. "And if they aren't talking they’re eating,” laughed Miss See ber. “We always ate a hearty breakfast, then in the middle of the morning had coffee, at noon, a big lunch, then tea (tea, sandwiches and cookies I followed by a big dinner, and always chocolate and sandwiches before we went to bed.” ANNUAL ALASKAN TRIP PLANS MADE KNOWN (Continued from Togo One) to Dawson, a town still famous for its gold mining activity.

No decision was reached awaiting further in vestigations. Another proposed event was a theatre party. Helen Evans, president of Phi Theta Upsilon, was a guest at the meeting. SUNDAY OFFERING OF CONCERT BAND LAUDED (Continued from Cage One) instrumental combinations showed the dexterity of the composer. This year's concert group was entirely adequate to the demands of the score. The strong trombone section took up the burden almost from the opening bar. With the addition of a bass trombone this fall, the band found itself able to handle the heaviest type of work for that section, and Sunday's work showed no thin spots in the trombone or trumpet sections. The clarinets and oboes always have been dependable and were not less so Sunday afternoon. Jane Burke, the first and only woman ever to become a member of the band, played bassoon alonside John Fin- > ley, veteran on that instrument with both band and orchestra. Doris Helen Patterson, instruc tor in harp in the University school of music, assisted the band with a harp obligato to Ralph Coie’s horn solo in "Kentucky Home,” always an appealing melody. Hosmer gave it a beautiful setting, and Coie played it impressively and well. The musical jingle, ditty, or clog entitled “Do Da Dey” carried much of the humor of the composition, .t was tossed from Clarinet to flute to oboe to bassoon, and the com binations were many and start ling. Of course, the rhapsody ended >v:th "Dixie,'' as was fitting and troper. Stehn and his concert band ■vill be heard again this term, and vill resume their Sunday evening concerts on the mill race in spring :erm. The use of a bass saxophone md two tubas added much to the •olidarity of tone, and the posses ion of a good French horn section, is has been mentioned before, uakes the University band the test in its class this side of the Mississippi.
