Alumni and stud ents are sincere in their desires to re sume athletic relations with Oregon, they should bring themselves to some definite decision in the matter soon, so that the spring sports can be scheduled. Oregon has no desire to humble her sister college, but so long as the reso lution remains on the books of the O. A. C. student body, saying that that college will have no athletic relation ship with the University, the Oregon management does not feel like asking for any. Had the Oregon student body passed such a resolution against the Agricultural College, it would ex pect to be asked to rescind it before friendship could be resumed. A movement to pass just such a resolu tion was started on the Oregon cam pus the afternoon that O. A. C. passed her resolution and it gained many fol lowers, but there were enough sober heads about, who saw the evil in the measure, to stop its materializing. Oregon cannot help thinking that O. A. C. made a mistake in passing the resolution, as she saw that she would be foolish to pass one of her own. To be sure, the Eugene stud ents felt that they were treated badly at Corvallis by a certain element of the Agricultural College, but they are in no may resposible for the news paper stories, telling of their feel ings. News is not syndicated at the University of Oregon, as it is at O. A. C. Press work for the Portland pa pers is done by individuals, who are engaged and paid by these papers, over whom tin' University authorities have no power of censor. The head ing, “University of Oregon,” which appears in the Portland papers, does not mean “University News,” but “News of the University as told by re porters for those papers.” We say that if O. A. C. desires to resume athletic relationship, she should clear the only obstacle in its road, immediately. Manager Geary is willing to arrange games with the sister college, but he does not wish to pass up the spring sports, which Oregon is now paying considerable at tention to, O. A. C. expects to have a strong football team next fall, in fact, it is reasonable to believe that she thinks her chances of defeating Oregon are good. Well, Oregon, on her part, is willing to take the chance in football and O. \ C. on her part, should be willing to chance the spring sports. Uemember, Oregon has not said she would not contest with O. A. C. It was that college which severed the bonds of friendship and it is that col lege that now blocks the bridging of the gulf. Communications. The Emerald is receiving a large number of communications from stud ents and Alumni, expressing opinion on various subjects, some of which have been published, but many others have been withheld on account of their length. The Emerald desires to give a part of its space to such matter, but in order to protect the news interests, must make it conform to certain reg ulations. Hereafter communications must not contain more than two hun dred and fifty words, and the editor reserves the right to cut the articles to two hundred words, if he deems it advisable. The writer’s real name must be signed to his article, and unless a good reason exists, it will be published. The limit of two hundred and fifty words is an ample one, we think, within which to discuss fully any subject pertaining to student ac tivity. The Emerald appreciates the inter est the alumni and students take in its issues, and will be only too glad to publish as many communications as its limited news space will allow. ********** * * * THE SAGE 01 PODUNK * * * ****** * * * * The worst of autos and best of men are wont to spark just now and then. * * * Some people learn the value of truth by going to Sunday School, others seem to have taken a sort of absent treatment. * * * College does not make a man or a fool, but it developes some pretty good specimens of both. * * * Many a man will work with a will or for one, if there is enough in it. * * * The cow that gives cold cream must be a frost. * * * This year, if ever, we ought to learn the way of a maid with a man. * * * Of all the sad words of the tongue or the pen, the saddest are these, “busted again.” Dean Goodman, ’10, is connected with the Honeymoon Hardware Co. of Portland.
