Seldom has the tradition-honored hell been dragged from its hiding place without a “vowing” cause to motivate its haling forth. "Whenever the time-worn clapper has heat out its message against the sides of the venerable metal reverberator a special, sanctity, athletically speaking, has descended on the inspira tion. The cause in which the colorful bell’s tones will sound this morning on the campus and in Eugene streets has no apologies to make to other bell-ringing efforts of the past. Howard Hobson’s northwest, championship-bound basketball men, as fine a machine as ever took to the maple under University colors, will be leaving for Seattle to face the most crucial series of the season. They must win at least one game to clinch their second successive northwest pennant. There is no getting around it, the two Seattle games arc a cham pionship series, # -Yf # ^MVTNOl such a learn a fitting sendoff on such an occasion will permit of no mere casual effort. As a psychological factor a station rally can bo of great importance to a Webfoot team leaving for foreign parts, where they will be far from the friendly, electric atmosphere of their own McArthur court. They should be “right.” for the occasion when they take the floor tomorrow night, and they must be “on.” Such a charge is that taken over this morning by rooters and ,fans when they storm the station for their sendoff to Hobson’s hopefuls this morning, the last such sendoff there will ever be for a Slim Wintermulo, a Laddie dale, a Bobby Anet, a Wally-Jo, a Bob Hardy. The rally should be a credit to the team, if the team is to be a credit, to the school. So Webfooters with visions of playoffs in I ho spacious Igloo .just up the street will, in giving their all al a morning rally, be doing no more than their part toward making that vision a reality. The long-geared Duck courtmen can be counted on to do a lion’s share of the work, but they should have the best backing this campus and this town can pro duce—audible, visible hacking. The rally this morning affords the opportunity.—L.J. Stop Signs on Thirteenth J^OW that the rush of traffic through the campus has been stopped somewhat by the Iraffic signs at Kincaid and University all members of the campus community are put upon their mettle to prove to the city council that the move was valuable. Since Tuesday traffic entering the campus from the west must stop at the corner of Kincaid and Thirteenth; that from the east at the corner of Enivarsity and Thirteenth. We say “must slop ’ advisedly, for the council has detailed a traffic officer to check up on violations of the new signals. # # # * JT is to the advantage of the campus as a whole to sec' that these' new signs are faithfully observed. The corners which they regulate were becoming increasingly dangerous, both to pedestrian students and vehicular traffic. Eurthermore, the regulaiton of traffic on Thirteenth represents a step toward the eventual goal of a complete and unified campus. The action of the city council, therefore, is a double barreled accomplishment— serving at the same time the causes ol satety and beauty. It is up to the campus to see that the council’s regulations are observed. Troop With Schoop HpiH' time of year when serious frowns begin to wrinkle the brows ot students (perhaps non-sludents would be more apt) has again rolled around. The campus has finally rested up from registration, laid down its last ten dollar payment lor lees, and faces final examinations. Idle begins to look very gloomy at this time. Images of blank little blue books float around in the minds of many. Neatly mimeographed lists ot questions are being collided instead of sheep when study-tired eyes won't close. At such a time in the life of every college student a form ol relaxation, a chance to laugh heartily, is a godsend. An opportunity to see the ludicrous side of life removes tension at a very enjoyable rate. Such an opportunity is provided members of the ASl'O tonight. 1 nidi Schoop, that incomparable prognostic of comedy, will present her ballet troupe in a concert which (according to the most conservative utterances of the ASl’O publicists) will definitely split your sides. We will see you at 8 tonight then. It's a date. Troop with Schoop to the Igloo and get a real laugh. (We all need one.) {The CALLIOPE By .JOE SOAP III * A resolution is being broken as this column is written. Perhaps I’d better not write any more, I said to myself after I finished the last column Sunday afternoon. I don’t seem to be hitting the spot as far as carrying out the original idea of the column is concerned, I told myself. So it was with the intention of hanging up my typing mittens that I put the old “thirty” dash at the end of it. But perhaps the mittens weren’t hung up soon enough. An explanation of why they ever came off the wall seems necessary. So here goes for the explanation and swan song at the same time. The writer has felt for a long time that something could be done to bring about reforms in the lo ,sely-run student government groups. Methods of building school spirit to the size which a win ning team deserves also were kept in mind. Examples of inefficiency may burn persons affected temporarily but they often help keep student leaders on their toes. No, the writer didn't get around to making constructive sug gestions in the short span of his column. But the policy of directing action toward a definite aim won’t do any good unless the reader’s interest will carry his eye past the headline. Arousing interest then was the first step. Constructive criticism of assemblies, rallies, party blocs, committee leadership, and student government was to have followed soon had the column not aroused the petty differ ences of many persons whose toes were stepped on. Joe’s fault was that he forgot to swing part of the students into the “reform party” before he started on his all-campus purge. « * * * There is work to be done to reform the rut our car^pus politics has fallen into. Isn't there? Wouldn’t it be better if we coidd all feel we had the best man in office instead of having individuals gloat over their bloc’s victory. Or maybe Joe is too idealistic. A lot of people have been wanting to get their hands on Joe Soap, and rightly so. They aren’t so black as Joe would have his readers believe. Too much trouble resulted and too many friends were lost in too short a time, I realize now. Editor Paid Deutsch mann has stood loyally by the writer because he believes in the same ideals- if not Joe’s manner of securing them. Deutschmann and the writer of this column realize something far more im portant the writer lost. Too bad. * * S; as The reason for the anonymous by-line was merely to help create reader interest. Unfortunately too many people guessed the writer’s name, which is—Bill Pengra. Remember that dare, “Line forms on the right for millracing Joe Soep”? It doesn’t still hold true, 'cause Joe hears an S. P. freight coming round the bend headed for California. Goodbye, boys, straighten out your own politics. Swish. Thirty. In the Mail To the Editor: THE PICCOLO by JOE IV Dear Dad: This is a letter of apprecia tion for all that you have done for me and my pals on the cam pus. You’ve gone a long way in arousing interest in student af fairs on the campus. Once I doubted your ability. All around me, Dad, I heard people shout ing their lungs out because they were offended by articles writ ten by a certain young lady on the staff. “Joe, old man,” I said, “why does the Emerald keep running those features when the stu dents so obviously object to them?" Your answer gave me food for thought, pop. You had me stopped for a minute when you said, "It is the duty of every newspaper to arouse interest in surrounding affairs, Junior, by making them mad, so mad that they sit up and take notice and do something about it.” Dad, you were right. It takes age and experience to show us young ones the light.. There's just one thing that I don’t quite get, pop. How can you make ’em mad and take interest if the subject is petty ? What I mean is, do you think it is fair to blast Miss Hamilton's feat ures (why beat around the bush) wide open when they are of no vital interest, and, then to approach a really pertinent subject such as politics and stu dent government timidly ? Do you think it is fair to intimate things and then not back them up with facts? As I see, pop, you are mak ing them mad, but you are not giving them anything to sink their teeth into so that they can fight. Give a chance to swell my chest and say, "My old man started all this.” Give them your name or give them the facts. Dad. Give them something to base their opin ions on. Dad, I’m still young and in experienced. I’d like another lesson. I'm so anxious to learn about journalistic tactics. Respectfully, Joe Soap, IV. P.S. Say, Pop, please don’t use my name on this letter be cause 1 don’t care to be held up to ridicule any more than you do. By B.J.F. Almost a million gallons of fuel oil are required to heat Mount Holyoke college buildings a year. NOT SO DRAB! To the editor: This reader has seen the time, not so very far in the past, when the Emerald was an incomplete, drab sheet. To apply the name newspaper to this publication was certainly a gross misinterpretation of even a loose definition of the word. So what happens—the elite of the campus third estate get to gether and decide that action must be the order of the day. Haener is mad because no one looks past the first page. How do you expect him to sell ads? Reading a Deutschmann editorial is unheard of, and Rogers alias “Carol’s” twists are on their way out. It is obvious that something must be done. Why, no one reads the Emerald any more. Heads get together in a huddle at last a de cision! Why not start a campus wide controversy. Insult a few people, tear into some of the time honored institutions that certain ly will draw attention to our pa per. Done properly, the students might even start reading Deutsch mann’s editorial efforts. A course of action has been de cided upon. Now for a suitable ve hicle to present our cause. This question, an easy one—why not the most .trite, worn out of all campus debates. It has served its purpose many times in the past. Therefore with politics as our means, we have only one problem facing us. Who is going to be the ‘‘fall guy”? Who will brave the storm of campus scorn, and au thor such a series of articles. Cer tainly not one of the underlings who slave for four years so that Looking Back_ WITH JIMMIE LEONARD One year ago—“Glad to be back to Oregon,” said Dr. Don ald M. Erb, after his first day as president of the University. O. L. Rhinesmith, the campus cop, started cultivating a Sher lock Holmes pipe and wearing a gun. A professor of an evening journalism class at Baldwin Wallace college told his stu dents to get pictures of night life at college. The pictures came in fast, but most of them were a little too frank and had to be destroyed. Five years ago—Speaking be fore luncheon of Alpha Kappa Psi, Victor P. Morris, professor of economics, said that a war between Russia and Japan would retard the whole world’s trade. Flowers and shrubbery were blooming six weeks too early on the campus. Ten years ago—The house of representatives approved a bill appropriating $50,000 for the construction of a new infirm ary. Governor I. L. Patterson signed the Bell-Schulmrich bill abolishing boards of regents for Oregon higher institutions, and creating in their place a state board of education. Governor Patterson made the bill a law with a 15-cent pen. Curtis Peterson, of the class of '20, sang “Mighty Oregon" over radio station WJZ, New York City, in a coast-to-coast program of the National Broad casting company. BB Shots (Continued from page three) is going into the export depart ment of Jantzen’s this month. She'll be studying Spanish, too, for the job may take her to Ar gentina in a year or so. More ad venture—and I can just see my self getting out the society for the Podunk Times (I hope). And Romance However busy some of us may be it seems there are those who always have time for romance though. Take Don Root for in stance. Is it two or three secre taries that have had the honor of wearing his Fiji pin? If it’s four we beg your pardon, Don, but it’s still good going. And if you can’t go to Alaska or South America for your adventure, girls, romance in the Oregana office will do I reckon. Of course Dick Williams would feel neglected if it wasn’t men tioned that his secretary rates tops, too. they may become assistant to the associate night editor. Incidentally, there are politics on the Emerald, too. Our man must be one of the "inner circle.” One whom we can trust to carry out our purpose to best advantage. A man is decided upon. Now we must provide for his protection. Under an oath of strictest secrecy we reach a deci sion—hence Joe Soap III. My only comment on the whole thing—a pretty poor trick to get unsuspecting students to read a campus news organ. Advice to the “inner circle”—your only out is the fact that many talented writ ers can't be bothered with submit ting interesting features to your paper. An orchid to you for trying to arouse interest—no matter how pooi- the plan. Robert W. Haines. (Editor's Note: the press prefers to be referred to as the fourth es tate. Possibly, however, your des ignation of us as the third estate— the peasantry -was intended.) More than 2,000 people danced at the Cornell university junior prom. FRESH AS A DAISY!

All students and faculty members are cordially invited. Pigging Problems (Continued from fane three) “There have been times when I have attended functions as a pa tron and have been treated as if i were an antique or a necessary evil,” said one professor. “Why the students start out. with, ‘Isn’t it a lovely dance,’ is | beyond me. If I hear that once an evening I hear it a dozen times. You’d think the students would realize that When you agree to that question four times, by the fifth time, you are ready to deny it,” said another professor. Why don’t you try telling the patron when you first dance with him, the thing you would say to any other person? Kid him about his stiff shirt front if he is garbed in a tux. Ask him about the amus ing things that have happened in his classes. Once you can get the conversation started, you’ll find that you are enjoying yourself, but when you start out with “Isn't the dance lovely,” the poor patron is apt to wish he were an automatic yes man. In other words treat a professor as you would want to be treated if you were in his place. If you are bored, there is something wrong with you as there is at least I Future Plans Talked By Oregon Faculty The regular March meeting of the faculty was held in the faculty room of Friendly hall at 4 o’clock yesterday. The meeting consisted mostly of group discussion on the plans for the future. No definite action was taken by the group. one topic of interest that the two of you could get together on if you try.
