Let Them Decide for Themselves JN'it few short hours the senior elass of 1929 will be fare 1o face with as groat a problem as it has ever had to consider in its history as a class—whether line up behind a 25-year en dowment plan in favor of the University, based on a large number of individual con tracts. With the outcome of the proposition open to speculation until the seniors meet tonight to settle it, it might be of interest to seniors, and future crops of seniors, to take a look at a few of 1 he extremely varied findings of the memorial committee of the class, which has this week been in “up to its neck" wading through details of a workable plan whereby 1 he graduating seniors of this class can leave an adecpiate memorial to the University, as they have signified a desire to do. ti * «■ rpvIIUY have looked into some ||usty corners, and they have dug out some dusty an swers. The find that Idaho, Washington, and California state schools all have endowments above two million dollars, while Oregon has $275,000. Washington has $5,000,000. Cali fornia $17,000,000, the committee reports. They have even looked into the reduction of the student-teacher r;iJio here, finding that the present onc-to-twcnty ratio at the, Uni versity of Oregon is considably more than the desirable one-to-ten proportion sought by most universities as ideal. They investigated the needs for buildings, the possibilities of money for an athletic fund, loan funds, all kinds of research funds. That the endowment trend is toward large groups of people in small amounts rather than the old-fashioned large-amount small group type is nothing new. There are only three ways to endow, namely by gifts during the lifetime, by bequests by will, and by the plan the seniors will consider tonight. * * JT is point<mI out to and btv the committee that tliay arc on the track of a “dynamic" memorial, rather than the usual static type which (gathers dust or turns (green or (goes completely unnoticed after tin* first year. They know they arc into something beyond the usual scope of (graduating classes, that they arc in it position to start somethin(g. Whatever is done, it is the affair of the class of 19:!!). It affects the individuals in that class most directly now, although its future effect would he widespread. If they do take the forward step, plun(gin(g into a financial circle, they will undoubtedly h\ this deed carve for themselves a numher-one niche in the I’niversitv’s hall of fame. If they decide against the long-time endowment, they will at least he doing no more nor less than have In the Mail To the Editor: The Emerald has tossed some plenty swell adjectives in the direction of the canoe fete con tinuity, yet the journalistic nose has failed to scent therein the pungent pen of one of their number, columnist Vincent Gates, whose poem, pun, and political assistance on several occasions were sought, and whose cheerful cooperation in spired by a queen's blue eyes helped smooth out the wrinkles in a script full of new ones. Thanks be to Gates in tlie highest. Sincerely, Dick Armor (Editor's note: The journal istic nose did not fail. In fact it was not even needed. We knew our boy Gates was work ing on the scrpit. But the jour nalism school was ever modest about the achievements of its members.) Seniors Will Decide (Continued from page one) off by Prexy Harriet Sarazin's ap pointment of a committee to study endowment plans, has for the past week been undergoing a barrage of facts and figures relative to the establishing of so large a project as an endowment. If the seniors approve the sug gestions of tHe memorial commit tee they will be the first on the coast to inaugurate such a plan, which has already been in use in the east for some years. Oregon examiners of operators and chauffeurs met at Salem for three days this months to study new provisions of the Oregon li censing laws and to prepare for the rush of business which will attend the renewing of approxi mately 455,000 Oregon drivers’ licenses this summer. Licenses of all drivers will expire June 30th, and must be renewed by that time for another two-year period. State Earl Snell.

Round V About With YVEN BROOKS The latest issue of the Saturday Evening Post carries an interesting article on the evolution of marriage, it’s function in society, and suggestions for making earlier marriages possible for Amer ican youth who find economic conditions incom patible with thoughts of marriage. Will Durante has written the article and suggested reforms to I be made. Marriage is something about which ■ people can afford to spend more time thinking. It is a basic institution, fundamental to democratic ! society. Since the war a great many young people have become more and more cynical about the whole marriage business. This cynicism has tended for more frankness, which is good, but has also tended toward a more reckless attitude of abandon toward sex .and morality. As this cynicism grows and permeates society it is reflected right down the line and works constantly toward the breakdown of the institution of marriage, an institution which must be maintained in all its sanctity and glorious ness if America is to remain a land of ideals and democratic thinking. We are living in a land of contradictions, a nation which has developed upon democratic ideals, ideals of working together and cooperating for the common good. And at the same time our economic, system, capitalism, is based upon competition the very nature of which an individual is forced to work for his own advantage. Capitalism is largely responsible for the great development of our nation to date. But just as society becomes increasingly complex, ever increasing restrictions must be put upon the individuals. So we see, our government today becoming more and more socialistic in its functions. We, as young people, are directly re sponsible for whatever form of government evolves in the United States in the years to come. It is something all of us can well afford to think about, should think about for our mutual good. * * * The latest SEP carries a story by Helen Hed rick titled “I Remember the Rain.” This is Mrs. Hedrick’s second Post story, a significant accom plishment for any wr iter, especially interesting for Oregonians and Oregon students as Helen Hed rick is ex-’24, was Helen Norcross on the campus. “Address Unknown,” a story in letters bring ing out vividly the changing feeling in Germany since Hindenburg's presidency to the Nazi present, was also written by an old Oregon student and former member of one of W. F. G. Thacher’s short story classes. Mrs. Kathrine Kressman Taylor, ex ’24, is now living in Conger, New York. Parts of “Address Unknown” were reprinted in the last Reader’s Digest. Mrs. Taylor’s story was in last Sunday’s Oregonian. * * * Mrs. llcdrick, incidentally, is the third ex Oregon student who has had fiction in the Post in recent months. Ernie Ilayeox writes western fiction under contract to the Post. Iioltert Orniand Case has had short stories in the 1'ost. All three arc former students of Prof. Thacher. Four water colors enliven the walls of the front room of the Alpha Xi Delta house on Thir teenth and Alder. The paintings were done by the local chapter's Lillian England, who is also re sponsible for the fine water color design on the covers of this year's Oregana. Increasingly popular is the Big Apple cafeteria on Alder which serves fine food at very reasonable prices, draws students from living organizations all over the campus. And with the business the cafeteria is doing, it should be able to expand into roomier headquarters soon. As it is, the place is usually pretty warm . . . low ceiling and all.

Therefore, as a member of Group I she is entitled to try the Class B tests in which it is revealed that she is good in arithmetic, of artis tic temperament, allergic to red headed men and would prove un successful at teaching second-year Latin. All of which means that if she will change her perfume, lisp slightly when she sings and let her hair grow she will catch a tall blonde young man with a German accent and three shares in a gold mine. All for Naught Of course it never quite works out. While looking for the tall young man with the German ac cent, Clarabelle will probably fall for a penniless black-headed police reporter and live happily ever af ter. However, it’s a great sport— reading articles, marking the cute little charts and finding out all about what men like and don’t like. It should lead to a great ref ormation of feminity—or an epi demic of single blessedness. But— I don’t suppose it will take the place of baseball.

They are rapidly taking the place of the popular Mexican wood en belts. Double-Duty Handy Reversible suede and patent is also interesting. The patent side may be worn for dress and the suede for sports wear, giving them a double-duty value. Striped cloth belts wrapped about the waist in a girdle add to dark dresses without giving them the appearance of having too much trimming, which so often happens when color is combined with navy or black. __ Freedom No more to cram And rank my weary brain No more to go Against my very grain For half a year This learning I have drunk For these six months I conned this inane junk But now* I’m free For I alone had spunk Enough These learned arts to bunk My bags are packed And eager is my trunk To up and leave Upon the cue “You flunked!” —Tomahawk. — A move is being made to chris : ten Drake university’s stadium in i Des Moines, Iowa, the “Corn Bowl.” Editor, Journalism Faculty Judge Papers The faculty of the school of journalism and Mr. Alton F.

To the boys’ statement that the tables were turned on Saturday Thru the Madding Crowd With MAJEANE GLOVER With this school year about to come to an end, everyone is becoming vacation minded. In browsing through town this week, we turned our attention to clothes which should be suit able for play, travel, and va cationing. * # # HADLEY’S is featuring in assorted colors the lovely sheer wool “Country Club” suits which would be ideal for travel ing. One which is particularly smart has a chartreuse top which may be worn open with a blouse or closed without one. It is gathered in the back and has a yolk effect in the front with extremely high pockets— almost up to the shoulders. A unique black belt of the same material running inside the jacket is revealed in the front and tie. Making the suit un usually striking is a straight black skirt with two pleats in the front—it also is of the sheer wool. Priced at $22.75. * * * Just the dresses to be worn on these warm summer days are the “Doris Dodsen Juniors” at the BROADWAY, priced from $2.95 to $12.95. Each frock has its own individual name. One which we particularly noticed was the “Nip and Tuck” with a zipper front, a yolk, and pleats to soften the bust line. It has short puff sleeves and a gored 1 stitched skirt. A brown novelty, mirror-shaped motif with a white cameo and attached to the zipper matches the brown I patten belt with white stitching, j and serves as trmiming. It is made of new chalk blue Krisp Paca material—$5.95. Exclusive with KAUFMAN’S J | are the Polynesian Hei Tiki play suits of crown tested spun ray ' on fabric made by Belvedere, j Here is just a sample of this i luxurious outfit which will make everyone look twice—a suit of sea green spun rayon. The coat ! is lined with terry cloth and has | a seasnail design. Completing it are the terry cloth lapels, very clever seasnail buttons, and trimming in British tan. Under neath is a playsuit or swim suit of the same material with a gored 'Skirt, squar neck, and suspender back. Price. $10.95. * * * WILLIAM'S are carrying in their exclusive line of riding habits the very outstanding Meyer Bros. Kentucky Ky Jods.

Well, just remember your table etiquette.” The Awful Truth The only serious note to the entire interview was given by the man - about - the - campus, Wen Brooks. He gave what he thought were the reasons for girls not ask ing a boy: “A lot of them think they don’t have enough money to spend on the boy to repay him for all that he has spent on them for dates throughout the year. Others actually don't have the dough, be cause it is the end of the year and finances are low. But must of them are like a boy who asks a girl for his first date. They are afraid the boy will already have been asked, and they don’t want to have him. j refuse.” Philosopher Brooks has put the idea in the most compact of nut shells, he has hit the elusive bulls eye, and he has hit the nail in a straightforward manner. Tn short, he knowrs his women. But whatever the reason, it is the last dance of the year, girls. There is no girl who does not want to make one last, long-remembered impression on the boy. Keep your chin up, boys, this is only Thurs day and by Saturday maybe she can cash in on her breakage fee or make up her mind to risk your refusal. * ^'f'f'f't'TTTTTTTTTTi j | SALE! ^ —We’ve something + to c h i r p about t that’s really | worth chirping | for I + Mrs. Scobert is retiring ij! from business.
