The Past, the Present, and the Future.
It is needless for us to say we are
glad to know, “sister 0. A. C.” will
meet us again in intercollegiate con
tests, for this is the thing we have
been urging for the past three months.
Both colleges should feel ashamed that
the fracas ever came up, and especially
that it was ever allowed to go so far.
Such infantile wars should be dis
carded by the student bodies of insti
tutions of higher learning, and mat
ters of dispute should be settled by
arbitration, so as to be consistant
with the policies of an enlightened
people.
In the future, we seriously hope
the students of both institutions will
act as becomes gentlemen and true
sportsmen whenever they mix in
friendly contests, for to act other
wise shows up a lack of that refine
ment and culture our institutions are
supposed to develope.
In regard to 0. A. C.’s committee
of three, Oregon will probably let
Manager Geary to satisfy it, for Ore
gon has never placed any measure on
her books forebidding contests, and
she now knows no reason, why a stud
ent body meeting should be called.
The enstrangment was of O. A. C.’s
own doing and therefore calls for no
action on the part of Oregon beyond
the presentation of Manager Geary’s
contracts to the Athletic Council for
ratification—a thing he must do with
all contracts.
As to assuring a reorganization of
the “equal rights and privileges and
their equal duties nnd obligations as
students of higher learning’’ of both
institutions, we do not know just
what O. A. C. means. Whatever of
fences individuals may have commit
ted in the past, and the offences of in
dividuals from (>. A. C., young as
many of them are, and from rural
districts, will in all probability out
number those from Oregon,—tho poli
cies of tho two institutions have al
ways been to “recognize these “equal
rights and obligations,” the same as
they are recognized in dealing with
other institutions. Why, of course,
Oregon as an institution will assure
O. A. C. recognization consistent with
her position as a state institution in
the future, as she has in the past, but
she can no more control the opinions
of some of her perhaps narrow mind
ed population, than could O, A. C. last
year control the actions of her bunch
of youngsters who heaped personal in
dignities upon the Oregon students
visiting Corvallis and caused this
whole row.
Why instruct the committee to se
cure equal rights? 0. A. C. has al
way had the same rights with us
every other institution in the North
west has had. In everything but de
bate, and in that she has been treated
exactly as has every other Western
institution that is not a State Uni
versity. Our debates since the mem
oryof man have been limited to in
terstate contests with State Univer
sities, for the reason that the sched
ule is heavy with them and our deba
ters object to taking on more contests,
—one debate is all any one team cares
to work up, and at present are run
ning three men’s teams,— still there
is no objection on the part of Oregon
to meeting O. A. C. in fornesics, so
long as that college does not try to
force it as a concession.
Why should there be any objection?
We have met 0. A. C. for the past
twenty years in oratory in the state
oratorical meets and have won those
meets more times than any other
school in Oregon, and O. A. C. has
never won a single meet; we are cer
tainly not afraid.
Manager Geary espresses himself as
being in favor of canceling the Utah
debate, which is a constant draw on
the student body treasury, and sub
stituting a dual contest with O. A. C.,
but if that college attempts to use
the present situation to force this as a
concession, Oregon students will prob
ably buck, the same as would O. A.
C.’s students, should Oregon try to
force an apology from them, or an
agreement that all future games be
held away from Corvallis.
The present situation is one of get
ting together, and neither school
should allow any foreign matter to en
ter into the peace negotiations, or try
to force anything from the other be
yond the promise to be friends. Ore- J
gon has adhered to this magnaminous I
spirit during the past three months,
believing it to be the only broadminded
and sure course to follow in bringing
about a peaceful and early settlement
of a childish quarrel; she has con
stantly refrained from attempting to
force concessions from her sister col
lege and she hopes, now that things
are so near a readjustment, they will
not be spoiled by a fight for conces
sions.
The Emerald Begs Pardon.
The Emerald committed an unpar
donable offence last issue in not print
ing the story of the Interstate Ora
torical tryout which Carlton Spencer,
last year’s state champion orator,
won out.
We beg, most sincerely, the pardon
of Mr. Spencer and the University,
and will try to prevent any more such
mistakes in the future. To offer an
explanation would mean nothing to
the public, which considers it our
duty to cover all campus news,
therefore, we will close by saying
that Oregon could probably have no
better chance of winning the Inter
state Oratorical Contest, than she
will have with Carlton Spencer as her
representative, and that we predict
another Northwest championship in
forensics for Oregon through him.
