Not Ready for Reconciliation. Our visit to Corvallis last week-end was of value to us. We learned some things we did not know before: First, in the matter of equipment, the voters of Oregon have treated the school of practical results for better then they have the school which aims at culture and refinement; second, the students at Corvallis are good hosts and are very much like the students found on our own campus, except that they probably average two or three years younger in age; and third, O A. C. is six months behind Oregon in development from the unfortunate squabble of last year. This last discovery was a great sur prise and it accounts for 0. A. C.’s refusal to forget bygones and sign contracts as she did eighteen months ago. O. A. C. is now talking and feeling as Oregon talked and felt at the beginning of the school year. Every man we met said in substance: “Yes, we would like to get together, but Oregon will have to agree not to insult us again. Now, you’ll have to admit that you have colored press reports so as to read detrimental to us, thnt you insulted us with an Old Cow one time when we visited Eu gene, that you accused us of padding one basketball schedule, so as to have one more game than you, that some of your students have knocked our in stitution to people of the state, that you yelled insulting things at our freshman football team two years ago, that you try to put us in a hole, and that, you do not recognize us as mental equals. We would like to see the two institutions get together al right, but. we must first, be assured that you will be good to us in the future.” This, we say, is the stage Oregon reached at the beginning of this school year. At that time we said: “We aught to get together alright, but will not consent to do so until O. A. C. assures us that she can control her students and compel them to act as becomes gentlemen when we get to gether for contests. Now O. A. C. will have to admit that we were in sulted last year at. the event of our visit to Corvallis, that goat being led on the field was one of the worst dares that, could have been flung at us at a time when a “free-for-all” would have worked disastrously, that the painting of our "O” on Skinner’s llutte was an insult, that. O. A. C. never lets an opportunity go by to put Oregon in a hole, that she colored her newspaper stories and made the ns sults of a year ago appear like a Sunday school picnic frolic, that her faculty committee gulled our faculty committee into whitewashing what ought to have been a bitter pill for her to swallow, and that until she ap pologizes for having broken off ath letic relations and removes insulting resolution from on her books, she can not e'xpect us to even consider for giveness. Such was the attitude at Oregon six months ago and its twin is now found in the present attitude at O. A. C. That college still rubs her bruises and demands satisfaction which she calls justice, just as Oregon did once. Oregon’s change of heart came be cause she began to realize that the Corvallis students were just as sin cere in the belief that they were wronged by Oregon, as Oregon was positive she was wronged by O. A. C., and that it would be futile to expect apologies from eleven hundred stud ents who did not think they were forthcoming. Therefore, the Oregon mind grew magnamious and agreed to let bygones be bygones, forget the wrongs of the past, shake hands with O. A. C., and try to get along better in the future, but this did not, in any sense of the word, mean that Oregon believed her hands to be more soiled than those of O. A. C., or that she would concede points in order to win over her sister college, and, if we may be allowed to prophesy, the two schools will never get together until O. A. C. has developed the same mag namious attitude. A glance at the situation will con vince anyone of the truth of the statement made above, we think, for the moment either school refers to the wrongs of the past the other will retaliate with a recital of wrongs equally as numerous. This Oregon real izes and would avoid, but at Corvallis, while every man we met enthusiastic ally told of Oregon’s wrongs, not one would admit that O. A. C. had sinned. Over there they laugh heartily at such incidents as the goat dare, the painting of our “O,” and putting us in wrong with the state through the papers, for Oregon suffered through them, but they hold up such incidents as the cow welcome, knocking by Ore gon students, and colored press sto ries as insults selfrespecting men can not overlook until satisfaction is re ceived. We are convinced, O. A. C. is sincere in her desire to secure only justice, but she makes her mistake in thinking all justice is orange colored bordered by black. It is quite unlikely that complete reconsiliation will be reached this year. The Corvallis students to a man are sore at Oregon and one ele ment there is opposed to renewal of relations under any conditions, so un til their heat dies down and they re ceive the change of heart Oregon forced herself to go through, Oregon will probably stand as she is, ready to sign contracts at anytime, and O. A. C. will continue in her vain effort to convince Oregon that O. A. C. is wronged and that Oregon is the wrongdoer. Students Disappointed Over no Deci sion in University Case. Exclamations of disappointment were heard on all sides yesterday when the news reached Eugene that the supreme court would not hand down a decision in the University re ferendum case that day and probably would not report until after the prim aries. The suspense of waiting for this decision is getting to be mighty tense and a decision either way will be welcomed by everyone. Just why the court did not report yesterday and may not until after the primaries, leaves those of use who are interested in its outcome, to figure on as best we can. The court itself is silent. To the New Reporters. Through a misunderstanding the ap idieants for Emerald positions were not given assignments this issue. I They will, however, report Thursday afternoon at the Emerald office for assignments for Saturday’s issue. The list includes Misses Hansen. Sheehy, Whittlesey, Messenger. Bean, and Steiwer, and Messrs. Motschen bacher, Blackaby, Chessman, and Paine. Cheer up, you who have to stay in Eugene next week—everybody's not doing it.
