On the Upgrade Again
WINTHJi term is near its close. It lias
been <111 unusual win I er term. Uain .
laden clouds have opened to let more sun
shine flood 1 lie I nivorsity than has been
seen for many a long year. Moment nous Imp- j
pollings liave brought optimism to a. 1 jienlty
and student body that had, in the laee ol
numerous adverse circumstanees, become j
discouraged-—almosl despondent.
The I'niversity basks in the lile-giving ^
light brought by the I’WA allocation of !
$850,000 which insured it new library for i
tlie campus, and the virtual assurance ol I
that body's early approval of a new $100.
000 infirmary. Prospects of the return of i
millitge funds diverted during the last hi- j
ennium gives encouragement to the academic
future of the 1 Diversity.
A new spirit, springing' from a much
needed expansion in 1 lie graduate manager s
office and the empowering of the state board
of higher education to levy a uniform stu
dent activity fee upon nil students, spurs the j
entire A. S. U. 0. organization to renewed
efforts in building' . greater bniversity of
Oregon. Students arc planning for a student
n nion.
Oregon students remain appreciative of
the most brilliant concert serif's ever brought
to the campus as well as an inspiring and
educational lecture series in which the I ni

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

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

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.

tender a tearful musical goodbye,'
but not without secret rejoicing.
Circus Nights in Silvertovrn, a
new 45 minute radio carnival

Bolfe and his orchestra, Tim and

[ angue. 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.

TIME ENTERS THE HALL OF
DEBATE.
At the far end of a biilliantly lit
hall, sat foui well knit figures in
black. They were tanking up on
water like a U. P. locomotive at
the close of a hard run. 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.
Boomed Mr. Ovaltine, first
speaker for the affirmative: “Mr.
Chairman, honorable opponents,
honorable mention, students of the
University, townspeople of Eugene.
Allah be with you. . . What this
University needs is a good five
cent student body card. Thank
you.” (Applause and laughter from

There was a long pause whilst all
