The Oregon Daily Emerald, official student publication of the
University of Oregon, Eugene, published daily during the college
year, except Sundays, Mondays, holidays, examination periods,
all of December and all of March except the first three days.
Entered in the postoffice at Eugene, Oregon, as second-class
matter. Subscription rates, $2.50 a year.
Come Again

ers Sunday afternoon, University sons and daugh
ters turned again to books, regretfully but with a
feeling of having been good hosts.
For the holiday which combined Junior Week
end and Mother's day was a successful occasion
one of the most successful ever held at the Uni
versity of Oregon. The entertainment was care
fully planned and admirably administered, and the
deliberative sessions were helpful and well attended.
The weekend was one which has bound more
closely Oregon's parents to the University. The
school has expressed its deep appreciation of the
courageous efforts unremittingly carried on in its
behalf by the leaders of the Mothers’ organization,
and the mothers themselves have insured a contin
uation of this devoted leadership by re-electing Mrs.
A. M. Dibble to the presidency, with a strong staff
of assistance.
Most important, of all, Oregon’s mothers have
obLained an insight, into campus life and a familiar
ity with campus activities and problems which no
number of “letters to the folks” or press reports
could bring.
It is unfortunate that not every mother of an
Oregon student could have been in Eugene last
weekend. It is the hope of the Emerald that to
day’s edition, mailed to 1500 mothers, will carry to
the far corners of the state a comprehensive ac
count of the activities. With it goes an earnest
invitation to those who were absent to come next
year, and to those who were present, to come again.
Freshmen Tackle the World
T AST Saturday’s edition of the Emerald, born of
the sweat and ingenuity of freshmen alone,
was remarkable in at least one respect. It took a
flying tackle, in its editorial columns, at some of
the biggest and toughest of national and interna
tional problems. And floored them very neatly
indeed, we may add.
In the courtliest of terms, as befits a freshman
journalist criticising ever so gently the first lady
of the land, the freshmen deplored the commercial
activities of Mrs. Roosevelt. They properly espoused
the cause of Portland’s belligerent longshoremen.
They ddcried the expenditure of millions for the
maintenance of battleships, and pointed out how
much better the money could be spent for inter
national scholarships. They devoted 300 words and
many exclamation points to an exposure of the
international munitions rings.
Such concern over the great problems of war
fare and armaments, of government, capital and
labor, is refreshing, as well as a sharp deviation
from the innocuous and rather puerile editorial at
tempts of previous freshman editions.
The scope of the topics selected by the fresh
men, and the forthright manner of passing judg
ment upon them, argue strongly that the Emerald
of future years will be a publication well f/orth
reading.
TJHORLiEMS of space limitations, as well as the
conflict of Mother’s day news with contracted
advertising matter, have made necessary a reor
ganization of the Emerald’s customary makeup and
the omission of several daily features. The regular
makeup of the Emerald will be resumed Wednes
day.
Unusual Happens,
Boys Return Lost
A rticle to Depot
“Is this the lost and found
place?” inquired tv/o, shirtless,
barefoot, 10-year-old boys, as they
stretched to pass an Elgin watch
over the window sill Saturday at
the University depot.
“Er, yes,” answered A. H. Ty
son, mailing clerk, somewhat sur
prised and amused, for he later
said, “Boys of that age usually
apply the old rule of ‘finders keep
ers’.”
Soon after the boys left a stu
dent who had been working on one
of the floats at the millrace iden
tified the watch as his, and feel
ing that such honesty should not
go unobserved, left a small re
ward.
Other articles found last week
end were two pair of ladies’
gloves, and one purse.

Great care has been taken in

There is a little incident
amounting to no more than a ges
ture which left the strongest im
pression upon me after seeing
“The House of Rothschild.” It is
certainly a compelling little inter
lude.
It is more than a'cting. It’s the
record of a romance. It repre
sents years of devotion and love
which transcends all physical
hardships or threats.
Each day, Nathan Rothschild’s
wife puts a little flower on his
coat lapel, and the one day that
she forgets things look rather
black. But she remembers, send
ing the token by messenger. From
then on the tide changes.
Florence Arliss plays Nathan’s
wife. Mr. Arliss, if I remember
correctly, has arranged for Mrs.
Arliss to appear in each of his
pictures so far. You will recall
her in “Disraeli” and in “The
King’s Vacation.”
Somehow the affection between
Mr. and Mrs. Arliss stands aside
from the fictional romance of the
pictures in which they appear.

The Freshmen of the Faculty
Stage a Stunt
By FREDERIC S. DUNN
/"'AN you imagine it! Jackie Bo
' ‘ vard, Julie E. Burgess, and
Moilie Burgess, and Molly Perkins,
taking part in a farce, not playing
the role of naughty children, but
being just that themselves? Well,
I was there. It goes to show that
even Faculty folk have some hu
man traits. Even Profs may some
times get a headache and feel like
tossing the old mortar board into
the anh bin.
It was during President Camp
bell’s administration, on the eve
ning of one of the monthly dinners
in the tea-room of the Osburn,
when we were treated to a rare
surprise by the younger set, a
group of six or seven staging a
mock faculty meeting, a very
clever skit, but decidedly daring,
for each had assumed the role of
some one of the older or more
prominent members of the august,
Senatus Universitas, right in the
presence of the august ones them
selves.
Those of us who escaped imper
sonation by virtue of our ‘golden
mediocrity,’ whether in age or par
liamentary notoriety .were hugely
amused to see the foibles, whimsi
calities, and ’idiosyncracies’ of the
great ones played up. There was,
for instance, President Campbell
himself, with his rapid rising ca
denza of phrases ending in a boom,
to begin all over again; a way of
clearing his throat with a sharp
staccato, Major Hoople - like
‘h-r-m-f; a way of balancing his
pince uez (cf. TIME) in his hand
at a proper climax; and his evi
dence of uncertainty in announcing
a motion as carried or not. After
a sort of timid glance about the
assemblage, he would say '1 fahney
the eyes have it', even when it was
unanimous. All this, a handsome
young Instructor in Public Speak
ing, named Buchen, carried off in
most, successful mimicry.
Just betore the opening oi me
drama, which, by the way, was
enacted from our seats at the ta
bles in comfortable, informal style,
as if impromptu, President Camp
bell was called out to answer a
telephone call and did not return
to the room until the skit was well
under way. It was a complete
shock to the good man to find a
duplicate of himself standing there
and plagiarizing his mannerisms.
Hardly knowing whether to laugh
or not, he was, for a while ,as em
barrassed as any child caught in
the jam jatr, until he caught sight
of Professor Glen shaking like a
Santa, Claus. And then, despite his
concern as to how the other vic
tims were taking it, he laughed as
heartily as the rest of us. Of
blessed memory is President Camp
bell as a ‘good sport'.
Mr. Tiffany, at that time Regis
trar and ‘Sec’y Fac'y’. as Dean
Straub used to sign himself, was
the only one allowed to unperson-;
ate himself. But his minutes of
the last supposed meeting, how '
they were faked! A row of motions
and resolutions, to every one of
whf h was appended some such
rider as this, ‘Passed over Dr. Bar
nett's objection’, or ‘Carried, Dr
Barnett alone dissenting'. The
conservatives and ‘standpatters’
used to look upon Barnett as the
Senate does Borah .because lie
could be expected to oppose the
blanket motions, the attempts al |
'log rolling', and other hasty legis- j
lation. To his credit, it must be
said, he was usually vindicated in
his attitude, though his tremendous
earnestness, enhanced his tense
face and agonized wringing of
hands, drew smiles to the faces of
the ‘kids’ in the Faculty. They
would support him nevertheless.
The thenje of the skit may have
been an echo of old time Junior
Days when the class pennant was
the center of wrangling and the
towers of Deady and Villard were
the scenes of historica battles.
However that may be, the plot was
woven about a resolution intro
duced before this mock Faculty by
John Bovard (he had not yet
glimpsed the Diaconate from afar),
representing Professor Frederick
G. Young, to the effect ‘that the
University purchase a national flag
and raise it over Deady Hall’.
The supposed mover of the reso
lution was not yet Dean of the
School of Sociology, but he had
been conspicuous in the Facuty as
a very sober, usually very silent,
but often intensely forceful, pro
ponent of solid legislation. He has
recently sponsored the creation of
Commonwealth Conference, whose
annual recurrence is a lasting trib
ute to him. Of course, the present
motion was couched in purposely
grandiloquent phraseology, such as
'that it may disseminate the intel
lectual and beneficent influence of
this University to the outermost
limits of our Commonwealth'. And
the supposed Dr. Young, having
poised one finger in the air when
he began to head his document,
gradually lowered it as he read,
until, with the last clause, it rested
on the table before him.
And then the fun began. But,
amid the rain of amendments and
substitute motions and appeals
front the decision of the chair, 1
must summon Timmy Cloran to my
assistance and. with his unfailing
'motion to adjourn', beg the cam
pus to await a second installment
of this breath-taking true story of
how the Freshmen of the Faculty,
to use a real classicism ,‘pulled a
hot one’.
