Next Move Up to Students
A SSURANCK (hat no lima will be lost in installing the now
stop signs for Thirteenth street was given last night by
City Councilman Sam Bond. 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.

What Other Editors Believe....
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.

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.

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."
