There are clubs social, clubs occupational, clubs convivial, and clubs mysterious, whose aims and ambitions are beyond human understanding. All this is very good, it promotes solidarity, gives every one an office of some sort or other, and thus fattens senior summaries. Oregon is no exception to this rule, and for the size of the college, surely has its share of organizations. In deed, a student who does not belong j to at least three and who does not j hold office of some kind is an anomaly here. It is remarkable, however, that while this tendency toward organiza tion has spread to practically all lines of interest and endeavor, not even neglecting the most trivial and unim portant, one of our principal activi ties has remained untouched in all its primeval confusion and disorder. That is canoeing. Of course, this is a peculiarly in dividualistic recreation, without much opportunity for concerted team play, and generally canoeing parties are exclusive and unsociable, There are, however, many phases of this excellent sport that might h-' improved and made more enjoy i ble by the formation of a live canon club. lty concert 1 effort, docking! facilities might he nrovided, and i eventually an elaborate club house erected. The race might he improved i beautified and chaired of obstructions, and much might be done in the way of fostering the sport of canoeing as distinguished from the recreation. In all of these lines, a strong, well organized club would be of immense benefit. Considering the devotees this popular spoit claims among us and our well known propensity for or ganization. it would seem a compara tively simple matter to promote such an organization, and by concerted ef fort to do considerable toward making canoeing still more enjoyable and ben eficial. Objection is made by some to the method of selecting the graduate inan agw as provided for in the ponding amendment. It is urged that an offi cer > important to the student Iwiv should he elected by the student h >dy, to increase the feeling of strict ac countability. These objections dm however, overlook the fact that the popular man is proverbially the poor business man and that under the polit ical methods at present prevailing here, there would he ample opportu nitv for a man to secure the popular suffrage who would not be possessed of the necessary business acumen. Small bodies as the committee and council are not so liable to these er rors. They would be more inclined to consider carefully ami fully the can didates’ qualifications. Also they world be in a position to bargain more shrewdly, and the manager would have a stronger sense of res ponsihility to the bodies to which he will be accountable. It is a purely business proposition, and most big businesses are administered and most managers elected by boards of direc tors corresponding roughly to our council and committee. Robison’s notable unanimous vic tory in Seattle last night closes our forensic season. We have won five contests and lost one, which gives us a percentage rating of .833. We have defeated Washington thrice, Stanford once and in turn have been defeated by Utah. Forensics have un questionably been our most success ful activity this year, for which great praise is due Coach Buchen and his brilliant and industrious disciples. Why not have a rally or demonstration for all of them, co-eds included, and show our appreciation in a tangible way ? GIRLS AS EDITORS The following editorial commenda tory of the Women’s Emerald ap peared in the La Grande Evening Ob server May 18. The “Oregon Emerald,” a college publication at Eugene, was issued this month by the girls of the Uni versity, and it was very cleverly done. From the gorgeous cover to the want column, the paper was j clean, well edited and dignified. No department was neglected. Even the : housekeeper’s corner was full of good things, and there is no direct evi dence produced to show that the girls had their mothers furnish the “dope” for this department, although the charge has been indirectly made. Housekeeping and college life do not jibe, we regret to say, and often a very fine girl is spoiled by sending her to some school away from home. But the Oregon girls may prove different, and if they keep house in the future as well as they edit their newspaper now, there is reason to believe the country is safe and the stomachs of Oregon men will be protected.
