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. ,

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.

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.”

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.
M
