Among Our Souvenirs ' I 'UK sad plight of “grandfathers’ clock." Oregon’s most ancient timepiece, apd at one time the “regulator" for the entire in stitution, was recently set to words by L’ro 1'uMsnr Dunn in the •oltirnns of the Kmerald. The old clock, which began its campus ciu'wi' in 1N76. when it was fastened proudly to tile north wall of the president's office in Deady hall, is now “doin' time " in the University power house, (treat patches of enamel are gone from the face of the dial, even whole numbers are missing from its face. Fate has not been kind to our antique regulator. And yet with deliberate precision it licks, ticks—just as majestically as if did on the youthful walls Deady. Is there no friend in our scurrying world for this relic which ha served so faithfully thru the years? It seem ; rightfully “grand fathers’ clock"’ should gain a place among other treasured souvenirs at Oregon. C'er tainly it should not he ordained 1o spend the rest of its ticking life in the gray interior of the University power house. Another Landmark Passes "^TO longer will it stand majestically in the ^ spring sunshine. It will no longer see the University grow and the city of Fugene increase in size. Perhaps at one lime it was used as a hitching post for old Dobbin. .Maybe Dob bin's prancing hindered its growth or, more probably, his appetite for the delicious leaves disappointed members of the house hold who looked eagerly to the season when it was arrayed with blossoms and later with fruit. Then came (he new era. A concrete drive way was the first indication of oncoming destruction. It soon became a detriment to automobiles whose drives misjudged the im paired clearance. If was abused by the con scientious gan.jner who trimmed its limbs because they scratched the finish on the new ear. During the past year its life became a shadow of doubt. Finally all hope vanished. Yesterday thy cherry tree that stood in the back yard of the chancellor's home be came a victim of the machine age. It was cut down and sawed into wood. One Man’s Opinion rv -~r-I. By Stivers Vernon a THE death of former associate justice of the supreme court, Oliver Wendell Holmes, leaves us with a curiously helpless feeling. This business of dying seems so completely inevitable. That the world has been left to struggle along without this, another truly great man, is mildly disconcerting. We have not experienced that feeling of help lessness since the death of Thomas Alva Edison. The sensation is utterly inexplainable but it is somehow very real. Perhaps it is because since the days of our earliest childhood, names such avi Holmes, Edison, Burbang and a number of others, have been household words almost like the gods which sit on shelves in the homes of the Asiatic peoples. They were somehow beneficent deities to uk strong hands upon the helm as the cur rents of destiny push the feeble craft which symbolizes life, across stormy seas. We know, of course, that other strong hands will arise to take over the duties of those de ceased. We know that they were but human be ings after all. They were but men even though lo our childhood they seemed like enormous, omnipotent forceg. As a youngster we frequently hung over the fence anil watched Luther Burbank as he walked among his plants. He . was a curious person to us a strange mixture of homeric legend and kindly old gentleman. Now tie has been dead for some years and as yet no man has come forward to take his place. What about these others? Who will take Ed ison's place? What man will arise to interpret the law in step witli changing times as did Oliver Wendell Holmes? Perhaps we are viewing the World through a very sm ill knot-hole and have not seen that, men are arising to take these places left vacant. Strong men will be needed for these are desperate times. America will not fall quite naturally be cause of the death of a group of great men. The people who are America, are greater than any individual or group of individuals. Still, we feel that strange helplessness which comes with the passing of those whose names were symbolic of strength and courage and wisdom. We have but one solace. We know that somewhere whether it is on a mid-western farm, in a New England village n a city street there are others who in V'ars to come will rise to Tie nobility of purpose that moved those great ones. Upon these rest the hopes of a race and of a civilization. Upon this vast, potential resource must American de pend if her future is to measure up to the glorious past created by the illustrious dead. The Passing Show m:\ik w issck 'T'HAT less than one-fifth of the total enroll ♦ nuait turned out to a highly-publicized stu dent meeting yesterday seems to signify that there is little consideration of the student activity fee situation as an issue. That compulsory fees are generally accepted as desirable may he in ferred by the fact that only -1 Sit students attended. An overwli.'lining opinion favorable to the recent action of the legislature in empowering the state board of higher education to levy any fees which tt sees fit i.-. evinced by the vote. Students have expressed then recognition ol the desirability of the program. The fee situation on tins campus has never ] been one of violent controversy. The desirability of the compulsory uolhctiou system is challenged only by a few. Oregon State may again feel aa invigorating tense of finite and demo.:ae\ ot spirit win it the i jrd tub' it. i ' .1 i .,p Oregon state f> oly y The Curious Cub Interesting People •TANK LAGASSJC, charming and petite, a very nice, blue-eyed bru nette. condescended to tell the Cu rious One about herself last night. She is one of that rare race of people whom the Cub feels free to recommend unreservedly to any and all. She is reliable, hard-work ing, and highly attractive, Jane was born in Astoria, De cember 17, 1916. She is a fresh man in journalism, and, incident - ally, has had a great deal of news paper experience. Jane has been special correspondent for the Jour nal at Cannon Beach. Oregon, foi the past two years and has worked on the Astorian Budget. She did n't want us to say so, but she is the young lady on whom the Bud get editor relies to take care of the society page of his daily pa per whenever the regular editor is away. bhe likes to ride horseback, and has her own mount. A small pin to, "Babe,” which is famous at the coast. Every one familiar with the beach knows the genial cor lespondent who rides the pinto and has a pleasant smile for everyone. There isn’t a news source so tough he can refuse her a story. This may sound a bit enthusiastic, but the Cub knows whereof he speaks. Jane is affiliated with Kappa Kappa Gamma, likes good novels and enjoys Shakespeare. She en joys swimming in the surf, hiking, dances, plays bridge, and gets a kick out of knitting! She is a highly versatile person those addicts who tune in "Em erald of the Air” are very likely to hear her voice across the ether because she is a regular member ot the staff. Space does not permit of any more bouquets. If our recommen dation is worth anything, she’s well worth knowing. Music Team Will Make Final Slum By George Bikinan Emerald itadio Editor There are those among you who will be glad to learn that Stan Bromberg, violinist, with Milt Su garman at the piano, one of our favorite presentations, will make a. final appeartmee on the Emerald of the Air programs for the rest; of the school year. The boys have ! made good; they're now signed! with a local firm to present three; broadcasts a week. So today thevi tender a tearful musical goodbye,' but not without secret rejoicing. Circus Nights in Silvertovrn, a new 45 minute radio carnival starring Joe Cook with B. A. Bolfe and his orchestra, Tim and Irene, Phil Duey, Lucy Monroe, and l’eg La Centra’s singers, will make its dehut over NBC to night at 8:80.

The facts of the case are | simply thus: The Yeomen have a : membership of approximately 7f. of these 15 present are directly in terested or active in Mr. Neu',merg er's crusade, hence a motion favoi ing optional fees was expedited. It is obviously absurd to say that the Yeomen as an organization, fa vors optional fees when less than < ne-fifth of the members have de clared in favor of them and over four-fifth of the organization have not voted either way on the prop osition. Certainly there is an ele rnent. in favor of such a move but ii can har dly assume the right t > express the will of a large major ity which has not declared itself either for or against the point at issue. On this basis, the Yeomen can not be said to favor either faction in the dispute. Until a majority of the membership has voted either to favor compulsory fees or to op pose them, the Oregon Yeomen cannot lend its support to either faction but must maintain a neu tral position. I am personally not crusading for any cause or faction. As presi dent of the Yeomen and as a mem ber of the general student body of the University of Oregon. I am only interested in the present and future welfare of these two so- j c-’.eties. VIRGIL L. ESTEB. President Oregon Yeomen.

The sub dued murmer of the voices in the half filled auditorium hushed sud denly as Tuffy Holly marched to the speakers’ stand and announced that he as chairman and referee would tolerate no unusual display of emotion or biting in the clinches. He then announced the subject and introduced a Mr. Ovaltine of Eu gene.

What this University needs is a good five cent student body card.
