Too long have we patiently listened to politicians expound the in vincibility of the majority. The “£reat will of the pee-pul” is beginning to ring a trifle flat in our tired ears. So it is with mixed feelings of relief and anticipation that we hail the formation of a campus chapter of the League for Industrial Democracy. Following a visit of Harry W. Laidler, field representative of that organization, thirty dissenting souls banded together to extol the principle of “production for use and not for profit.” The inequality of opportunity in our present industrial system will meet the hearty disapproval of the new branch of the L. I. D. The moving spirit of the group appears to be Wallace Camp bell, varsity debater and former president of the Congress club. Knowing Campbell as we do, we realize the chapter will be any thing but quiet and retiring in its activities. Campus-wide meet ings, petitions, travelling deputations, and socialistic speakers are to be expected in the program that will be made public next week. We welcome the entrance of the League for Industrial De mocracy into campus activities, not because we agree with its policies, for wc don't. Private profit is too powerful an incentive to be dismissed with a wave of the hand. And the principle of individual enterprise is too strongly entrenched to change sud denly. But a vigorous minority, idealistic in its aims, is an asset wherever it may exist. It is usually far ahead of the times, visionary and utopian perhaps in its beliefs, but nevertheless a potent factor in stirring the social lethargy which is always with us. So we hail the L. I. D. because it is a determined minority, and wc look forward with interest and anticipation to the activi ties of the newly installed chapter and its red-haired leader. They Are a Noble Band’ \ BOUT three years ago the University band was nothing to brag about. The student body alternately jeered and la mented. Today the University band IS something to brag about. The student body accepts it at face value, and says little. Just another example of the human tendency to be quick on the draw with caustic criticism but slow to hand out the bouquets that arc merited. Our band is not only good, but it works hard and faithfully. And it is- work. Membership in it means a lot more than pa rading down the street on state occasions in a colorful uniform. Behind that parade arc many hours of patient practise, for which the musicians must shelve all other interests. The services of John Stehn, band director, cannot be over estimated. Under his very capable leadership the band has become a year-’round unit, which appears to equal advantage on the concert stage anil the football field. Last Friday night the band played for the Colonial Hold. Sunday afternoon it gave one of the best concerts in its history. Testerday it set the stage for the Washington assembly with a half-hour program. Each of these appearances required spe cial music, but the baud's repertoire is always equal to the occa sion. Thu members of the band serve the interests of the student body in a most tangible way, devoting their time and their skill to enrich campus life. Let's be a bit quicker on-the-draw with the bouquets. A corsage may cost money, but a compliment takes only a little thoughtfulness und a few words. Spring Is Came £|AMPUS opinion will declare ua incorrigible and hopeless weather forecasters, but wo come to the front again, un daunted by past failures, and assert, once for all SPRING IS CAME! We asked for snow, and the next day the sun shone all day from out a cloudless sky. We had suggested a flood as a pos sible alternative! A month ago we predicted the arrival of spring, only to be greeted by four weeks of downpour. But now, rain or no rain, wc know that SPUING IS CAME! We saw five crocuses nestled in the glass Sunday and immedi ately put on our now spring suit. Yesterday our special investigator saw eight more ho had instructions to count them. And he reported that the leaves on the shrubs m front of the architecture building and else where on the campus are cagily poking their buds out. There's only one sure sign missing; Wc haven't seen any .^co jiplc di^lmg'doe. u* toUlie'nver'yet.? But'just'wait! Well, It seems as though it was a quiet week-end all the way around. Regular Blue Monday. Nothing much happened, or maybe no one thing was outstanding above the other. Of course, there was the one about Maurice Kinney, the local Eddie Peabody, Russ Co lumbo and Ely Culbertson et al, being the life of the Delta Gam yearly. The old pin that has been going the rounds for the past few years continued its phenomenal race and changed hands again. Anyway Maurie was seen coming into the college Side with his tux tie in one hand and a flower pot in the other and, as I believe we intimated, sans the pin. But then, of course, Kinney’s pin planting activities are rapidly approaching the status of “old stuff” so we’ll go on. Or maybe we won't go on. On account of this being blue Monday, the traditional day of repentance, and on account of we don’t feel very good today, it seems that we might make a turn about face and write a little anthology of good deeds that have been done on the campus instead of our usual theme. Aw, well, it’ll be fun to try. In the front roster of this week’s Boy Scouts we might mention one Wilbur Preble who went up to the Kappa house Friday and electrified the girls by expansively offering to act as transportation for any number who might want to go to Portland. Of course the fact that none of them would go doesn't | spoil the admirable principle in volved. Bill tried hard enough . . . And then we can’t overlook Leighton Gee, Gloria Hertzog, Bunny Clapperton, Dorothy Edlef sen, Ken Scales, and, oh, lots of 'em who descended from the Olym pian heights long enough to show the habitue of the Silver Spray to just what unbelievable extent God's superior handiwork is mani fest in college students. Whether these so honored were apprecia tive of this parnassian indulgence, remains, of course, a matter of some doubt—but anyway, as we said before, you can’t get away from the magnanimous principle. And then we come to the case of Jack Gregg. Feeling that the mu rals on the Pi Phi walls lacked a certain something, our Jack, in a true glow of altruistic fervor, pro ceeded to refresco the parlor to his own taste. That the result was a bit soured does not, of course, detract from the principal again. At least his heart was in the right place. And now Feet of Clay proposes to do its good deed for the day. In line with the notion we aren't go ing to mention Jimmy Hondias once today, nor are we going to tell about Jean Robertson's mad pash for anyone at all. We're go ing to bat for the Alpha Phis and the Gamma Phis. They need some attention . . . We're going to ad vertise ... a deplorable condition, evidenced by this sad, so sad little pome, left on our doorstep . . . They're certainly going down hill on the race . . . The pome says so, and everyone else says so . . . “An Alpha Phlea, and a Gamma Phly. Sat by the mill race, Me Oh My! Said the Alpha Phlea, I'd like to hop— Said the Gamma Phly, I'd like to buzz— As they thought of the dates That used to wuzz.” That’s not such swell poetry, wc guess, but the principle, ah, that ever ubiquitous principle, is there —We're going to help out wher ever we can. And thus all.

HOPKINS’ SELECTIONS COVER LONG PERIOD (Continued from Page One) son’s “Clog Dance” will complete the third group. Fritz Kreisler's “Caprice Ven nois,” “El Manisero” by Simons Gallico, the Gluck-Brahms “Ga votte,” and Schubert’s “Military March,” arranged by Tausig, are the numbers to be played in the final group. The Callico arrangements of El Manisero,” or “The Peanut Ven dor,” is highly interesting from many angles. The popular dance tune has been turned into a con cert piece of the first importance in modern idiom, and the ancient Cuban folk tune seems likely to be preserved in its more sedate form in piano literature. Covering more than 150 years of musical history, Hopkins's pro gram is well balanced, and his modern sympathies will give it the fullest and most satisfactory ex pression. POLYPHONIC CHOIR TO OFFER ‘HYMN OF PRAISE’ (Continued from Page One) ed schedule for both orchestra and singers did not permit the com pletion of the program. In its three and a half years of existence, the first division choir has earned for itself an enviable record on the campus and in Eu gene. Like other concert organi zations of the University, only the finest music has been performed, and only the finest and most ex acting work has been presented. Of the 40 members of the first choir, fully two-thirds have sung together for more than one season. Their voices are outstanding, indi vidually, and their training has been rigorous. WESLEY CLUB HEARS CONKLIN ON ‘COMPLEX’ (Continued from rage One) club on the subject of “Personal ity.” Over one hundred students were present at Sunday night’s meeting, which took place at the First Methodist church. GIRLS HIKE TO BUTTE The eight girls who went on the W. A. A. hike last Saturday to Gillespie Butte covered about eight and a half miles looking for Mr. Whittnum, an old pioneer who was supposed to take them to the frog farm near by, but they could not find either Mr. Whittnum or the frog farm. **J >. u ■ 1 " ~ Classified Advertisements Rates Payable in Advance 10c a line for first insertion; 5c a line for each additional Insertion.

CONCERT BAND SHOWS NICETY OF EXPRESSION (Continued from rage One) fires at night; of long, dusty roads leading nowhere; and of fast dances and furious loves. Between the castanets and his drum, Geary was kept busy. The climax was great, with trumpets and trom bones contributing largely to the impressive effect. The delighted audience, a good sized house for a beautiful, sunny afternoon, demanded an encore. Assisted by two very small girls in the front row, who joyously beat time with folded programs, Director Stehn and the band re peated the finale of "Gipsy Life.” Only when the band members picked up their music and walked off the stage did the audience real ize that the concert was finished. They didn’t want to go home; they wanted more music. They’ll get it—next term. Cosmopolitan Club To Hold Initiation for 25 Cosmopolitan club will initiate 25 members tonight at 8 o’clock in International house. All mem bers are requested to be present by 7:45.

BRAILLE BOOKS ARRIVE The following books transcribed in Braille were received by the library Saturday for the use of blind students: “Frau Sorge” by Hermann Sudermann in three vol umes, "Der Letzte" by Ernst von Wildenbruch, and "Heinrick von Kleist” by Prinz Frederick von Hornburg. BOOKS OF THE DAY EDITED BY BOY SHEEDY MORE HOMICIDE 'About the Murder of the Night Club Lady. Anthony Abbot, M. Covici-Friede. By JANET FITCH The author of this tale has evi dently succumbed to the passion for concocting detective stories; a passion that has attacked some well-known novelists who had al ready won fame for other types of fiction. 'JAnthony* ;Abbot” is a nom-de-plume; the man who uses this name is a novelist and music critic of New York. If he writes his other things under a nom-de plume, that makes him twice "nommed,” and therefore pretty average well disguised. The pub lishers furnish no clues. Here is another of those hope less mysteries; everybody suspect ed, everybody seemingly guilty. The lady of the title is a prominent lady-about-town, beautiful, rich. The story opens with her request for police protection, and her state ment that an anonymous note says she will die at three that morning. Die she does. Police and detec tives are patrolling the whole building at the time, and the chief commissioner (Aha! Now we have the master mind!) is in the next room waiting to question her fur ther about this threat on her life. And all the time she is dying. The scene shifts rapidly from the night-club on New Year's eve to the apartment of the “night club lady;” then to various head quarters of the police department, and to the homes of various peo ple who are being questioned. It is a crowded New Year's day. Un believable amounts of research, and, of course, the giant brain of Thatcher Colt, police commissioner, solve the problem. The puny brain of the reader will stagger along somewhat behind and eventually make the proper guess, just before Colt announces the murder's iden tity. FIND NEGROES DOMINATED PARIS.—(IP)—The findings of eminent archaeologists and recent anthropological discoveries indi cate that negroes at one time dominated the civilizations of both Egypt and India, according to J. A. Rogers of New York, a member of the Institute of Anthropology of Paris. "They were a race of super men who perished thousands of years ago,” he said recently, in an address on “The Black Man's Contribution to the World’s Civi lization.” John Held Jr "BOOT SHOOT!” cried ihe willowy Winona “And why not, my gal?” demanded Jo sephus Universitas (Joe College), thrust ing his classic chin against her heaving bosom. “Because,” replied Winona, “you will not be annoyed on the campus by his sloppy clothes any longer. He has promised that, if spared, he will change and buy his clothes from Eugene merchants who ad vertise in the Emerald.” Good clothing may be purchased from: De Neffe’s Paul D.
