The matter of whether or not the interfraternity leagues have accom plished the ends for which they were organized, will end with this issue, so far as the Emerald is concerned. Last Wednesday we gave one fraternity’s view and this issue we print another view expressed by the president of the basketball league. The Emerald has done its duty and its share, but to continue the controversy would only add fuel to the fire. The Emerald looks upon all fratern ity controversies as trivial and as matters to be settled by the participants themselves, and, in the future, will not allow such wars to be waged in the columns of a paper whose purpose is to represent the whole student body. As It Should He. Oregon students are pleased to know that Manager Geary has suc ceeded in securing schedules for games with Willamette University. Just what grievance that school has had against Oregon has never been known by the Oregon students, not that we think their grounds were slight, for no school breaks off friendly relationship with another in stitution without cause, which seems to warrant the action, but that what ever our sin may have been, the stud ents are ignorant of its nature, and have always stood ready and anxious to meet Willamette in friendly con tests. There are several advantages real ized in meeting teams from our own state, over meeting teams from dis tant states, that Oregon schools should not overlook. The expense is less, about one half or two-thirds smaller than in interstate meets; they arouse great interest and loyalty within the various student bodies, due to the closer location; and they broaden the acquaintance of Oregon’s future citi zen’s among those they will have to associate with in years to come. It is to be hoped that Willamette and Oregon will continue the recon ciliation Manager Geary has brought about and use it to the advantage of both institutions. ******* *** SAG K OF I'Olll'Nk ******* *** lie that is stuck on himself finds few people to do likewise. * * She that tlirts and runs away, will live to flirt another day. * * He that fishes for compliments will get best results where the stream is shallow. * * Judging from recent newspaper headlines, he that would be famous must first be foolish. * * A recent contributor to the Ore gonian, who claims to be a college man. and says that two thirds of all college men are fools, seems to have first hand information. * * O.
