VICTORY IN EVERY LINE
Last night brought an emphatic af
firmative answer to the query, “Can
Oregon come back in Debate.” Some
have said, “We concede you victory
in athletics, but how about the con
tests involving mental skill and
strength?” Every Oregon student is
proud to point to such victories as
that of last evening when both Stan
ford and Washington were forced to
defeat by unanimous decisions. They
are schools of far greater size than
ours. They have their law schools
to draw from; they have faculties
greater in the number of members;
they have better support and equip
ment; but they haven’t the famous
Oregon spirit which overcomes all ob- !
stacles.
During the past seven years Or
egon ■has won three first and four sec
ond places in the Intercollegiate Or
atorical Contests. This record is un
paralleled, and when one considers the
fact that the eight institutions of
higher learning of Oregon send their
very best representatives to the con
test each year, it is readily seen that
it is no mere chance that has given
Oregon its string of victories.
Too much cannot he said in praise
of the men and the coach who dig and
grind for months in order to add to
the name of their University. At
times it seems a thankless task, but
in the long run there is no activity
of greater value. The University, in
order to fulfil its duty to the state,
must produce men and women who
will wield influence for the right. It
must produce men and women of keen
intellect, strong physique and stal
wart determination to serve mankind.
THE STAH REPORTER
The first two weeks’ contest to de
termine the Emerald’s star reporter
degenerated into a mad scramble for
news between two men. It showed
how much news there is on the cam
pus, but rapidly eliminated from com
petition the rest of the satf.
The next installment of the contest
will be under different rules. At the
end of this period, two weeks from
today, every reporter who enters, and
all are eligible, will file with the ed
itor what he considers his five best
stories. These will be judged for lit - j
erarv merit by Professor E A. Thur
ber and Miss Julia Burgess; for pre
sentation of news by W. A. Dill, of
the Register, and Professor E \V. A1 I
lcn; and for enterprise by the City
Editor and the News Editor. Perfect
scores in each of these will count 110,
110 and 10 points respectively No
credit will be given for length. En
terprise includes both originality and
ingenuity in covering stories and
promptness in getting them in. If
credit is desired for a clever beat, an
account of how it war obtained should
be filed with the story. First, sec
ond and third cash prizes of $3.00.
$2 00 and $1,00 will be awarded.
The purpose of this contest is to |
arouse enthusiasm and interest in the
whole staff. Under these conditions
no reporter will have an undue ad
vantage because he has a good “beat.”
or friends to tip him otf to stories.
A man way down the list may, by j
a little careful work or a clever!
scoop,” carry off the prize. He has |
is good a chance as anyone.
Future contests are likely to vary
still further from the one closing
his evening. The two men winning
;oday were so evenly matched that
uck in finding stories counted as
nuch as anything else in deciding
;he race. Hereafter we want more in
it the finish.

o WHAT THE COLLEGE EDI- o
o TORS ARE SAYING o
jo oooooooooooo
“THE KAIMIN SYSTEM”
“A man in an eastern college writ
ing to a friend in this university, said:
“Judging from your paper, your edi
tors must be given several college
credits for their work; perhaps they
are paid. I do not see how you can
issue your paper without one of those
two encouragements.”
“The editors of The Kaimin are not
paid. The editor may secure one col
j lege credit a semester for writing
three columns of reading matter.
For the actual management and ed
iting of the paper he is given nothing.
Reporters may make one-half a credit
a semester by writing a column and
a half of reading matter.
“The faculty refused last year to
give college credit for editing the pa
per. As a result, The Weekly Kaimin
is in a serious predicament. One man
has resigned from the editorship.
His principal reason for resigning is
that no man can spend three days
each week editing a paper and main
tain a fair standing in a regular
amount of university work.
“No one is ready to take the editor
ship. Men qualified for the editor
ship refuse it because the misnamed
‘honor’ carries with it nothing but
work.
“There is not a person on the staff
fitted for the job. The efforts to build
up a system this year have failed la
mentably and utterly. Those who as
pired to be editor of The Kaimin some
day lost their ambition after the first
glamour of seeing their work in print
had vanished.
"The crisis, long anticipated, has
come. Due to lack of encouragement
from the faculty, and lack of support
from the student body, interest in
journalism has not been cultivated.
The Weekly Kaimin suffers; it is
even threatened with extinction un
less a candidate qualified for the edi
torship appears soon.”—Montana
Weekly Kaimin.
“COLLEGE FUNCTIONS"
“The Rand Prom was indeed an en
lovable affair with the exceptions to
be noted here. The first one is the
fact that a number of the residents
of Corvallis other than students made
themselves ouite prominent and in a
number of cases obnoxious. The sec
ond consideration is the fact that
several high school girls became loosed
from the proverbial apron string and
did not0 add to the pleasures of the
evening. °
"To consider the first subiect about
all that is necessary to say is that
these men. or at least the majority
of them fail to observe even rules
of decency. One of the most flagrant
violations is the filthy habit of stand
ing on the porch of the Gym, and
blowing clouds of cigarette smoke in
to the auditorium. This will abso
lutely not be tolerated. If a man con
siders the effort of others to a no
larger degree than this he does not
deserve admission to social functions
of any sort. Not only do the un
invited poachers violate a student
body rule but they lead some of the
weaker types of students into viola
tion of the same rule. The students
who violate, do not, however, stand
in the doorway, they sneak around
and then come in for the next dance
and blow all the smoke into the poor
unfortunate and helpless partner's
face. Lovely, isn’t it, girls.
“The Gym. floor is always crowded
at best and the toddling girl inmates
of the city high school are not bur
dened with encouragement to attend
these functions, neither is the surplus
male population of the city. It is
lamentable that these people should
persist for college social functions are
for the students and those connected
with the college.”—O. A. C. Barome
ter.
“SOREHEADS”
“Sorehead is a term used by college
men to describe the fellow who is al
ways finding fault and complaining
about how other people are treating
him. To the sorehead there is only
one color—black. He looks through
colored glasses and sees thing not
as they are, but as his glasses show
them. He is against everything. He
is not a reformer. He is too small in
mind and imagination to be a reform
er. A knocker is one who is forever
finding fault with things but never
tries to change them. A reformer is
one who sees the wrongs and sets
about making them right. Which are
you? A knocker or a reformer? If
you see things that are wrong about
the University, are you just finding
fault, or are you trying to change
them for the better? It is a boon for
which we should be thankful, that
most of the knockers are dying off or
are wearing themselves out by their
pecking, and their places are being
taken by reformers.”—Drake Daily
