University ot Oregon Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice. Eugene, Oregon Unbeknownst to manv University students, a compulsory athletic card stew is brewing down at the state legislature. Some years ago the people of the state defeated a legislature hill giving the hoard authority to charge the fees. Now there lias been a renewal of the movement, to give the board power to charge a compulsory alhletic fee in th schools of the state system of higher education. Main argument advanc 1 for the hill ; . .1 it will allow the athletic department to broaden its extracurricular activity field so that more students may participate. The emphasis, then, would no longer he placed on sports bringing in large gate receipts. Most institutions on the coast have such an a rrangement. The l\egister-( luard in arguing for the proposal declares that tin.' idea of submitting the plan to the students is unwise, feeling that it would he better to “leave it to the board’s good judgment to say what fees should he and when." (Mi the contrary, we feel that the students are the very per sons who should he consulted. It is their money which would pav for the accelerated athletic program, and it is for their benefit that such a program would he inaugurated. We don't mean necessarily that the legislature should turn over the plan to the student bodies of the various schools and abide therein bv the decisions. \\ hat we would like to see is a poll taken on each of the campuses involved to he used as an indication of student thought on the plan and a guide in deciding its merits and ;icl\ isabilit v. The result, we feel certain, would mean an improvement in the relations between the state legislature and the state schools of higher education. • « A /!

Suspension of Bridge Card playing in the University of Cincinnati’s Grill has been for bidden between 11:33 a.m. and 1 p.m. by the head of their Union Board. He declared that service and table facilities are not ade quate enough to permit card play ing during the noon hour and “it this situation fails to clear up im mediately, more drastic steps will have to be taken.” Who knows, he might even go around trumping their aces if they don’t watch out. The Run of the Campus Men on the OSC campus will be running like h&!t>#lt>&?? Thurs tay ; veen noon and 6 o’clock as it’s proclaimed Sadie Hawkins Day over there.

Members of the Daily North western staff attended a relax and-play party after the last paper of this quarter was issued. Every one who went was required to wear a costume which represented a Northwestern news event or per sonality of the year. Prizes for the best costumes were awarded and any resemblance between such costumes and libel suits were hastily overlooked. * * * Free-for-All Every Wednesday afternoon at Montana State university, students and faculty can get together in the Student Union lounge for free coffee, free conversation, and a free exchange of opinions uninhib ited by classroom walls. More and more students and pro fessors are attending this “coffee hour” but whether they’re taking advantage of the free refreshments or the free conversation we couldn't say.

Dean Earl Just Missed Picking Coaching Career By DOROTHY HABEL The fact that the male population on the University of Qn^ gon campus has greatly decreased since the war, does not seem to lesson the work of the dean of men, Virgil D. Earl. After graduating from the University in 1906 with a BA and an MA in 1932, and attending the Oregon Law School from 1909 to- 1910, Dean Earl commenced his career in educa tional work. Beginning as an instructor, from 1906 to 1907 at the Lewiston, Idaho, high school, [ he then went to Jefferson, Oregon, where he w'as appointed principal of the high school, and superinten dent of the grade schools. From 1908 to 1912, the dean remained as an instructor at Washington high school, and then in 1912 be came head of the mathematics de partment. In 1919 he was appoint ed principal of the Astoria high school. In 1923 Dean Earl came to Ore gon as director of athletics and served in that capacity until 1930 when he took over his present po sition as dean of men. F>esides his regular work as dean, Virgil Earl has taken an ac tive part in student activities, serving for four years as adviser on the ASUO executive council. Almost Became Coach “Ever since I came back to the University in 1923,” reported Dean Earl, “I have been especially in terested in athletics, .and for a while was manager of the track team. In fact, coaching almost be :ame my career.” When queried about his work, the dean replied, “Well, of course you know our main responsibility lies in solving and advising the stu dents with their various problems, but I am also head of the student loan fund, which is a job in itself. Oftentimes we handle $ 125,000 a year.” Like many in his profession, Dean Earl's duties will become more complicated as the war draws on and the veterans begin to re turn. “I’m trying to help them in the adjustments of their affairs and their start of an educational program. It is estimated that at least 25 per cent of those qualified for an education will return to college and the estimate of Ore gon’s returning veterans is from 3,000 to 5,000. Women Veterans, Too “But you must remember, vet erans are not men alone. Already two returning women have en rolled for next spring term and this is expected to be the beginning of a procession of girls from the service who are entitled to some of the benefits. Our greatest prob lem lies in the housing project for the married couples and those with families.” Dean Earl has written a number of research papers, though not the sake of publication, but more for their fundamental value in his work. A family man, Dean Earl has both a son and a daughter. His daughter, Mary Elizabeth, is mar ried to a lieutenant stationed at Washington, D. C. For his off campus activities, the dean has chosen to make gar dening his hobby. Columbus: Lissen. Queenie, all I need to discover America with is—■ Isabelle: Let’s not talk ship.
