Three-fourths of the campus takes a deep breath, curses the good weather, and tackles the books for the first real studying of the term, with only four weeks to go. (The other one-fourth merely enjoys Junior Week-end, but slides out of the work.) Student activities are all very fine and very necessary. Such events as Junior Week-end are often the highlights of one's col lege memories. And we certainly wouldn’t overlook our mothers when Mothers’ Day comes around. But it’s too much to combine Mothers’ Day with Junior Week end. Mothers enjoy the activities of the week-end, we’ll admit. But in a majority of the cases their sons and daughters are so busy working on canoe fete entries, junior prom decorations, canoe races, teas, banquets, campus luncheons, and whatnots that they do not have time to take their mothers to these events or to see that they get to them. Anyway, most mothers would much rather spend their time with their sons and daughters the one or two times they visit the campus than attend a banquet or sit in the bleachers and roast while they watch collegiate canoe races. They can attend all the teas they want to. And as for the Junior Prom, what mother wants to sit in the balcony and watch a mob of young sters dancing when she can't even see her own son or daughter? Why not invite the mothers here for Mothers’ Day, and put on a tea or a banquet, but not both, for them, and let them have their meetings? But let’s have Junior Week-end for the students, and only the students. Let’s concentrate on fewer events over the week-end, with opportunity for everyone to enjoy them. Then let’s devote a week-end exclusively to our mothers. What’s the Racket? (Continued From Page One) Equalization League” to start a petition to consolidate both schools at C0KVALL1K? Is i( a forlorn hope backed by Corvallis capital? Or is it an adroit move to blackjack the University into quiescently accepting Kerr as a chancellor under threat of pressing the pet it ion ? Is the circus stunt to ‘‘flood the state with petitions" a desperate attempt to justify the existence of Oregon State college as a technical institution when only I per cent of its courses are really technical? Is it a blind to divert attention from the fact that only some do students are majoring in agriculture despite the fact that hundreds of thousands of dollars are secured from the state ostensibly for that purpose? What’s the racket? Why the last minute attempt to cloud the issues and befuddle the situation ’ The Emerald is tired of sniping, sling*shot methods. If there is an lion est proposal, make it. Let’s be gentlemen even if we are college men. Do the gentlemen from Corvallis believe the state board o! higher education can be fooled or seared b\ vociferous threats or the flourishing beating of dislipans? We doubt it.

The student body implicitly believes that it is en trusting its destinies to the group of student officers which it elects every year at about this time. In reality, all the student body is do ing is nominating a group of pup pets who will be subservient to a far greater and more potent force In fact, so potent is this force that ; it virtually dictates what the poli ! vies of the A. S. U. O shall be. The time has come for the Asso j elated Students to decide whether they are going to let the graduate manager's office do it for them. I Student leaders on this campus are | simply kidding themselves into be I lieving that they have power. In reality, their power to act exists only when their will is the will of ; this other institution. Slowly but ; surely the graduate manager's of fice has been usurping power from the Associated Students until the result is that student body gov : eminent is nothing more than a farce and an excuse for a few lucky I students to garner some publicity. The time has come to act. Heav ! on be praised that some ot the | more forensically-minded student leaders conceived the idea of the student parliament. Student body government has fallen into a mo rass and tl we do not do some thing to rescue it, we might as well' junk it once and for all. It is hoped that this starter will pro- j voke editorial comment and elicit j other expressions from the stu-; dent body. A Friend of TRUE STUDENT GOVERNMENT, i By V. H. Hal When a criticism of a musical production or a Guild Hall play appears in the columns of this pa per, readers glance at the by-line, then decide whether or not it is worth reading. This signifies that the desirability of the criticism de pends almost entirely upon the writer. And such a situation has arisen out of unsatisfactory cover age. Years past have seen very few eligible critics on the staff of the Emerald. The reason for this is that cjualified, informed, and expe rienced commentators cannot be enlisted as regular writers. Their interests often fall elsewhere— perhaps on the production of the very performance which should be criticized. Often the intelligent critic is unreliable. Such objectipns as these are not strong enough to provide an ex cuse for continued abuse of the art of criticism. Some student with the desired characteristics of a scholar and the faithfulness of a theater fan should be enlisted and trained in his work. He should be the chief critic and privileged to call upon whatever authority he may choose. He should be dicta 1 tor of the arts in the Emerald. The good writer of the critique should have a sane understanding of life. He should have a com prehensive grasp on the intricacies of his subjects. His knowledge of the work should be as complete as that of the artist he discusses. His joy in life should be the clear headed analyzation of music and drama. His pastime should be the study of Greek Decor and Have lock Ellis’ “Dance of Life.” And, by the way, Havelock Ellis is one of the greatest critics today simply because he looks at the beauty of all life objectively. He gets outside of himself to feel the world around him and understand it as Classified Advertisements Rates Payable In Advance 10c a line for first insertion; 5c a line for each additional Insertion.

His early observations and study of music plus his convincing style make him feared by all virtuosos. And in the Emerald this year have appeared several wise cri-1 tiques on University productions. These were done by S. Stephenson Smith, a man equipped to give the sort that we demand. Unfortu nately he is unable to give the time required to organize enough of this to provide a regular thea ter “balance” in this paper. But he has an understudy in Bob Guild, writer of the “Upstage” column, who possesses the critical and lit erary characteristics necessary for intelligent comment. A man like him as a devoted contributor could salve this local journalistic sore. CAMPUS ♦ ♦ ALENDAR House managers meet this aft ernoon at 4 o’clock in room 5 Johnson. Very important.

EMERALD ... of the A I R Views of the news from Russia will be given this afternoon over KORE at 4:15 on the Daily Em erald of the Air program by Jack Bauer, senior in journalism. Bauer made a special study of the problem of news from Russia, corresponding with many Ameri can newspapermen in Moscow dur ing the fall and winter months. Their letters in answer to his pointed queries will form the nu cleus of his talk. Eugene Lyons of the United1 Press, Cartoonist Jay N. Darling! of the New York Herald Tribune,; and Louis Fischer, correspondent I of The Naflon, contributed their1 impressions to the views Bauer will give KORE listeners. State Camp Fire Head Will Conduct Seminar j Miss Louise Nunn, state director | of Camp Fire girls will conduct a seminar from 4 till 6, Wednesday afternoon in room 4 of the Educa tion building. Miss Nunn is from Portland, and spoke on the campus also last year. Wednesday she will talk on the philosophy of the organization, and some specific technique. All in terested are invited to attend. This seminar is given in connec tion with the class in club leader ship given by Professor Harold S. Tuttle of the education school. Mrs. Massie Will Not Be Forced To Testify HONOLULU, May 9.—(AP) — Although the complaining witness sailed yesterday for the mainland, the trial of four youths charged with assaulting Thalia Fortescue Massie, will start as scheduled, Prosecutor John C. Kelley declared today. If Mrs. Massie is not in Circuit Judge A. M. Christy’s court by 9 a. m. that day, Kelley said, he will request a warrant for her arrest. But since he cannot enforce such a warrant beyond the juris diction of the court—which does not extend to the mainland—Kelley went on to explain that the trial would proceed whether Mrs. Massie is here or not. A Decade Ago May 10, 1922 The Limpid Order of Lame Ducks will hold its first annual meeting tonight at the election polls in Villard hall. As soon as the final count is made known, the old ducks will proceed to gather the new duck lets and will make a tour of the campus, headed by the organiza tion’s one-piece brass band with banners flaunting to the skies. Winners of the Edison Marshal short story contest: First ($80)—Verne'Blue, senior in history, “The Man With the Dev il’s Ears.” Second ($10)—Nancy Wilson, sophomore in journalism, “Cold Fried Potatoes.” Honorable Mention (an auto graphed copy of Edison Marshall's latest novel)—Lillian Auld, senior in rhetoric, “Cold Facts.” The amendment on the ballot today calling for the institution of a music fund to bring notable art ists here is seen by the Emerald in an admirable light. Virgil Mulkey, a freshman in the department of drama, entertained the state jewelers’ convention for half an hour with several magical feats and illusions at their ban quet held in the Hotel Osburn last night.

LEWIS Agent PHONE 2200 Body of Doumer Rests in Palace PARIS, May 9. — (AP) —The gates of Elysee palace were opened this afternoon to permit thousands of men and women who had been waiting in the rain for hours to file reverently past the black draped bier on which rested the body of the assassinated president, Paul Doumer. Closely guarded, Dr. Paul Gor gulov, the man who killed him, was watched constantly through a peep-hole in his prison cell in or der that any suicide attempt might be forestalled. The room where the body lay in state was partly darkened, and the jeweled emblem of the Legion of Honor that he wore glowed brightly. At the corners of the catafalque stood four officers of his military housenold, their sabres drawn. At the request of Madame Dou mer, the body will not be placed to rest in the Pantheon. Instead the president will be buried in his family vault at Vaugirard SECOND DIVISION BAND MAKES DEBUT SUNDAY (Continued from Page One) vel Hamilton, bass drummer, and Brute Stauffer, snare drummer, did good work all evening, and particularly in this number. Two brief and sprightly num bers, “A Spanish Village” and the eternal favorite, ‘‘King Cotton March,” closed the concert. It is safe to say that the First band men in the audience worked harder than the musicians on the stand. The first band will perform on the mill-race at 7 o'clock next Sun day night, with a distinguished tuba soloist as guest artist.
