According to Mr. Bond the signs, voted by the council Tuesday, will be put in before the end oi. 1 he week. The need for immediate action lias become appar ent. Since the council’s approval another accident—the third in a week — has again emphasized the seriousness of the sit nat ion. The new regulation will he ineffective without student cooperation in observing and helping to enforce the act. The advisability of placing stop signs on tin* campus was seriously questioned by the council because of the fate of the slow signs installed along Thirteenth last year. These signs soon disappeared and subsequent ones also turned up missing. If a similar fate is met by the new stop signs, the inevitable result will be a reversion to the present set-up—a return to a serious menace to student life. # * # # A LSO included in Mr. Bond’s release was a statement that a member of the Kugene police force will be stationed on the campus for an indefinite period to aid in enforcing the provisions of the ordinance. This move was hailed as “an appropriate step” by several University authorities and should greatly aid in keeping the traffic under control. The possibility of a beautiful and complete campus, long a dream in the minds of University planners, has moved another step nearer reality. With proper cooperation between the University and city it is conceivable that the oft-debated question may be settled.—L.N. Unfortunate—But Experience TN many ways it is most unfortunate that the symphony orchestra cannot .journey to Tacoma to play before the music conference which will be held there next term. The opportunities inherent in such a tour Mould be of great value, both to individual students and to the school as a whole. However, the complication which now exists in the prob lems of financing the proposed lour .justify the action of 1 Ik* educational activities board. It may bo said in agreement with 1 he decision of the hoard that its responsibility in the matter is- not so great as to make action imperative. The program of the ASUO was carefully worked out at the beginning of 1ho year, with no provision, nor request, for financial aid to t he orchestra. Considering the question in cold hard cash the hoard makes another point. The outlook for this year, while not discouraging, definitely does not give the board any oppor tunity to go looking around for ways to lose money. Sound and careful business investigations reveal that the extended trip would in all probability bo anything but a money-maker. # # * * /J''IIK experience learned out of the present tangle should be of value. Much of the difficulty came about through misunderstanding of the problems of financially backing the trips. Most of these problems would never have arisen (or at least would have been solved as they appeared) had the orchestra been managed by some individual who would he able to devote his time largely or exclusively to this phase of the work. This suggestion, which was made at the educa tional activities board meeting Sunday, boars looking into. The University symphony orchestra seems to be entering upon a phase of activity which will involve a great deal of managerial duties. The Medford concert began this trend last year. Now we have a Portland concert, with chances of others in the future. If this phase of University activitv is worthwhile some system of financing and managing it should lie worked out. Otherwise it will perish through incidents such as the one which has .just occurred. Sostume designing Pays Our ilmpldied, practical method guarantees a pioftiuble. fascinating career.

Youth Hostels 'T'HIS youth hostel plan, which is to be discussed at a meeting of -*• high school and University students Tuesday afternoon in Gerlinger hall, is most interesting. The word “hostel” is new to a good many of us on this side of the Atlantic. According to the dictionary, it means: “1. A place of lodging; inn. 2. A residence for students.” A combination of these two meanings will best describe what is meant by a youth hostel. It is a place of lodging for students, or at least for young folk of student age, who travel about the country on foot, bicycle or horse back. Establishment of a chains of hostels, providing food and lodging at low cost, makes it possible for young folk to take trips which otherwise would be denied them. While on the trips they learn what is going on in other sections of the country or even in other countries. 'T'lIE youth hostel movement has achieved considerable propor tions in Europe. There students set off with knapsacks on their backs on trips following lines of hostels maintained specific ally for their entertainment. They apparently are very well super vised for no word of criticism on any score has yet been broadcast concerning their manner of operation. The Oregon plan, to be discussed Tuesday, contemplates estab lishment of hostel routes between Eugene and Portland, with off shoots to coast points. Such a system would be an invaluable supple ment to the recreational, educational, and character-building work now being carried on by the schools and such organizations as the Boy and Girl Scouts and the YMCA. Summer camps now' provide supervised outings for quite a num ber of boys and girls. These hostel routes would offer facilities for progressive camps in summer and other vacation periods. Students could set off individually or in small groups to see some of the things they’ve been studying in school. The possibilities are almost unlimited.—The Eugene News. In the Mail n.\i tv To the Editor: There was a front-page story in Saturday's Emerald, entitled "Preppers Top Mark of UO Journalists,” which continues, "the high school students ran circles around the future scribes” and adds that the "average for the University high seniors was 61.9.” "Give the editing class (University seniors) (he back seat make it the rumble,” writes the re porter. Now the facts are creditable to the high school pupils, and I have no wish to take one iota from their glory. Yet the story is so phrased as to give the totally untrue impression that the high school youngsters as a group had done better than the University upperclassmen, and certainly calls for a correction. The facts are that the aver age of the University editing class was 71.33 (which your writer omits to report), while the high school seniors (accord ing to your story) averaged 61.9. All editing students who made less than 65 (and there were several) were reported to the registrar on “danger re port" sheets as doing work of a failing grade. ERIC W.

Looking Back. ... WITH JIMMIE LEONARD One year ago — Edward N. Atherton, head of the Pacific coast conference athletic sur vey, was on the campus compil ing statistics regarding the sal aries and “proselyting” of ath letes. The Oregon Ski club won from OSC, 24 to 9. A press story asserted that Hitler was "eyeing” Czechoslo vakia. Five years ago — Oregon’s basketball team blasted Idaho, 28 to 27. Paul Petri, professor of music, gave a reading of “Enoch Ar den” to the piano accompani ment of Mrs. Petri. Ten years ago—An epidemic of measles broke out on the campus. Eight students were stricken. M. H. Douglass of the Uni versity library said that Sunday movies affected library attend ance very little. Wie geht’s ■oiniiininiiiiimiimiiiiniimnmmniimfiinimiiimiiiiimNinirimiiimtiii By V. GATES The senior class promises dancers they will go wild with the music of Han Wilde at the Senior Ball come Saturday. Keith Osborne said “Wild Honey” is the theme song, but the theme. If you have a wild honey give her a corsage like Barney Kliks possesses and she’ll tame down. Kliks has an artificial corsage that doesn’t need a refrigerator to keep it fresh; it’s made of paper mache but looks like the real thing. Rental: two bits a night. For another quarter he'll throw in a blind date. One student wanted to know why they don't call it “hang man’s music” because they’re always talking about “swing.” * * * “Give a man enough rope and he'll hang himself” has been altered to, “Give a college man enough time and he’ll swing.” So the powers that be have said: “Okeh—one o'clock per mission for Saturday." * * * When Bill Hayward, trainer of track champs, was ill recent ly the doc told him he had a temperature of 101. “What’s the world record?” Bill asked. 16 Rest in Peace at Duck-Inn Firmary Only 16 students were missing the sunny weather yesterday by being confined at the infirmary.
