The Kansas alumni lay the blame for the alleged lack of a wholesome, constructive spirit in the University at the door of the faculty. It is charged that the faculty places undue restrictions on the students, and then misuses its power of “flunking” and expelling students as a club to com pel their submission. It is further charged that the faculty is dominated by a clique ,that this clique is op posed to football, and that the per sonnel of the faculty has degenerated because the insurgents suffer from the official ax. Specifically, it is contend ed by the backers of the investigation that certain students who were ex pelled for their participation in a re cent rally should not have been ex pelled. Whatever the merits of the case, the fact that these alumni have shown this degree of interest in the welfare of their alma mater in significant. What their action will be should the reports be verified, remains to be seen, but it is certain that, if properly organ ized, they can accomplish practically any reform they deseire. Old “grads,” men of standing and influence in the world, can cope with a situation before which undergraduates would be help less. The faculty of an American college maintains a peculiarly impregnable position. Within its own cramped do main it is supreme. It is the most au ° tocratic power in the world. It is a law unto itself, so far as the students are concerned. The students have no appeal from its discipline, and in any breach between students and faculty the public assumes that the faculty is in the right and the students in the wrong, and that whatever castigation is administered is warranted. Naturally, students who are or are about to become American citizens, resent this assumption and chafe un der its enforcement, and the result is a lack of resepect for instructors, and occasional open rebellion. Some higher court of appeal ijs needed, and perhaps such a court can not be more wisely recruited than from the alumni, who have the good of their alma mater at heart, who are of the college and still of the world, who are mature enough to judge dis passionately without entirely forget ting their former feelings as students. Therefore the action of the Kansas alumni is of more than ordinary inter est. n it may be faintly glimpsed the promise of a better relationship be tween faculties and student bodies generally. * DRIBBLES AND SPIKES • By Rex Kay. * ° Washington Freshmen will not be pgrmftte dto attend the annual var sity dance. “Their feet are too dirty,” is the reason given for barring them. O. A. C., Washington and W. S. C. have arranged a triangular schedule for wrestling matches. Washington is arranging practice basketball games with Puget Sound college and high school teams, to take place before the opening of their con ference schedule. Eastern colleges are starting a new ono in indoor track. Teams compete with one another by telegraph. Each college team stays on its reespective home track and starts on the tick of the telegraph. Coach Bezdek has come down hard on his basketball squad since college reopened. During the last few nights a few of the boys wiere bawled out only seven or eight times, but the ma jority of them got it often. Yale and University of Pennsylva nia crews will meet for races this year. It will be the first time these two crews have met in twenty years. W. S. C. has cut Montana from her football schedule for 1915, and will meet the University of Utah instead. Idaho reports that its prospects for basketball are slim, as “there are only six letter men back.” Washington recently published an article in their daily showing that most of their best athletes were never counted worth much as athletes when in prep school and also pointing to many prep school stars who were col lege disappointments. Willamette has the soccer craze. It has indicated that within a short time it will be looking fpr outside games. Ly/e Steiwer WHO’S WHO AT OREGON No. 7 Lyle Steiwer * * * * * * * * * Thus far the Who’s Who at Or- * * egon column has experienced no * * difficulty in filling the required * * sapoe—generally, we are com- * * pelled to admit—with dignified * * nonsense. (No reflections on any * * of our subjects we hasten to as- * * sure you—they are blameless. * * Martyr-like, we assume all of the * * responsibility for our literary " * ramblings.) Heretofore we have * * been able—sometimes—to deduce * * a far-fetched “pun’’ (thanks for * * the compliment) from the name * * of our subject, thereby making * * possible a biography of reasona- * * ble length. But, as we attempt w * an elaboration on the career of * * Lyle Steiwer, President of the Wo- * * men’s League, we are forced to * * admit our inability to dislocate a * *■ “pun.” * * Miss Steiwer registers from * * Jefferson (Oregon—not High * * School) and is an adherent to the * * 1915 standards. She holds the * * unique distinction of having qual- * * ified two times for this year’s Stu- * * dent Council. The first instance * * occurred last year at the May elec- * : * tion, when she was chosen as a * * Senior representative in the au- * j * gust assembly, and later became * * eligible, ex-officio, when she was * * elected Preseident of the Women’s * * League. Due to constitutional re- * | * strictions, the position as Senior * I * representative became automat- * * ically vacant. * * We would say more, but we’ll * j * “ ’Stei-w’er' we are.” * »»»*•***♦**** I 200 OREGON CALENDARS AT Y.

While students at Pennsylvania College were celebrating the game with Harvard at a large rally, a quan tity of gasoline near the bonfire ac cidentally exploded. Captain Tobin, of the football eleven, and many oth ers were seriously burned. The force of the explosion threw the spectators to the ground. The football captain may lose his eyesight as a result of the accident. ************* * NOTICE * * The Eugene Alumnae Associ- * * ation of the University of Ore- * * gon will meet Saturday, January * * 9, at 2:39 P.
