There is in the University Library
a collection of student publications of
other years, which, though by no
means complete, should interest every
one of us here now. In this collec
tion are most of the year-books which
have appeared under various labels
since the first “Webfoot,” the recent
files of the Emerald, and those of the
old Oregon Monthly almost in their
entirety.
If you are a denizen of the Library,
or if you never have visited that
shrine of Minerva and Venus, go to
the corner where these relics are kept,
and devote an hour or two to the his
tory of your own institution—not its
public and official records, but its in
timate campus happenings. Read the
stories of past athletic contests and
past debates, the names of heroes of
student exploits, the leaders of stu
dent sentiment. Read about those
pood old swashbuckling days, when
the whole University turned out for a
hazing bee, and the cumulative cut
system was unknown. Read some of
the editorials of those early ink
slingers. Learn about the men that
this college has turned out—both at
graduation time and on oher occa
sions-—the fents they accomplished
and the sacrifices they made—and
find out why Oregon spirit has a fame
all its own in the college world.
To understand the present, we must
know the past. We talk about Ore
gon spirit, Oregon ideals, Oregon men,
but few of us know what we are talk
ing about.

DRIBBLES AND SPIKES
By Rex Kay.
Bill’s mind has been working over
time. He has planned a trip to Cali
fornia and one to Pennsylvania for
the track team, provided the men
come up to his expectations.
* *
Everett Stuller was seen at Baker
by several of the Glpe Club men. He
said he would probably be back next
semester. Ev. cleared six feet two
in the high jump last spring.

“Remember it is the harmonious
team that wins." So spoke Coach
Jimmy Schaeffer to the hundred men
who answered the first call for base
ball practice at the University of Cal
ifornia.’’—Daily Chronicle.

The 0.oA. C. Barometer is still dis
pensing its time worn line of be^r stu
dies. This time it i%basketball. Stew
art, with only three ofd° men on hi3
first lineup; .is surely,to be pitied, es
pecially since Bezdek lost his whole
first team last year and is still hunt
ing for its successors.
* *
Johnny Beckett, left stone wall of
the football team, will leave at the end
of this semester, with Ray Sweeney
and “Chuck” Parnell, for the Arctic
Circle. The three intend to live on
sour dough and are going to hunt
gold mines by way of recreation.
Johnny says he will be back for foot
ball next fall, if he has to walk.
COMMUNICATION
To the Editor:
I must admit that I have never ta
ken all the mathematical courses of
fered in this institution, but I have
attended two of them for a whole year,
and despite this advanced training, I
have never been able to solve the ex
act co-ordination between one “cut"
and one-sixteenth of a semester hour.
Perhaps the immature brain of a stu
dent is unable to master such a solu
tion as this—it is left to the profes
sors, who have had greater experi
ence in working out educational prob
lems.
Here is a problem:
There are forty weeks in a college
year (University Catalogue).
This gives twenty weeks in each se
mester.
Twenty per cent of classes cut in
one course excludes from examina
tions (faculty ruling).
There are five days of recitation
each week. i
In a five-hour course there are one
hundred recitations each semester.
Twenty cuts in one course make you
lose five hours.
Sixteen cuts take ''ft one semester
hour (faculty ruling).
Eight cuts are disregarded.
Where is the mathematics to solve
this?
Suppose a person carying two five
hour and two three-hour courses. He
makes three hundred and twenty rec
itations a semester. Twenty cuts in
each five-hour course, and twelve cuts
in each three-hour course would ex
clude him from the examinations and
he would drop all sixteen hours, with
a total of sixty-fofur cuts.
But suppose a fellow cuts sixty-four
times in a semester, he loses four
hours, but still with fifty-six cuts he
would lose the same number, for the
rule states that one hour is deduct
ed for fnftn eight to twenty-four cuts;
two “for from twenty-four to forty;
three, from forty Oto fifty-six; and
four, from fifty-six to seventy-two.
There seems to be some difficulty in
this solution, for a student loses six
teen hours for sixty-four cuts, yet he
may drop only thirteen, ten, seven or
four.
Another question which presents sa
lient points of difficulty to the faculty
ruling is this: Can the faculty justly
prevent a student from being grad
uated if he has made the required one
hundred and twenty hours, but has a
number of cuts which would deduct
one or two hours? This seems re
ductio ad absurdum, for the dictates
of conscience and law will not allow
it. In fact, the faculty could be forced
to grant a diploma to such a student
by due process of law,
1 see no arguments for either the
"cumulative cut rule” nor for the
“twenty per cent rule.” It seem# to
me that these matters should be left
entirely in the hands of the professors.
While we have examinations at Ore
gon, and a student is able to pass the
required examination, there is no ne
cessity for him *o attend class. Nei
ther the German nor the English uni
versities have these rules, and I be
lieve no one would dare to argue that
there is even a shadow of compari
son between those institutions and
our University.
STILL ANOTHER.
“RATTLESNAKE JIM” VISITS
OREGON AND CALLS ON FRATS
“The University of Oregon is a live
school,” said Rattlesnake Jim, the
globe trotter, who visited the Uni
versity and several of the fraternity
houses yesterday.
James Lauhno Lonefeather, as this
nomad avers is his real name, was
bofc-n in Lucerne, Switzerland, and
started to walk arojnd the world April
6, 1897. He expects to return to hi3
native town tfn April 6, 1920, at the
aget>f 35.
“I commenced this trip for three
reasons,” he said. “First, to gain
health that is absolutely immune to
any disease; second, to secure an ed
ucation better than any university
can furnish; and third, to get real ad
venture, which is impossible for maHy
to find. I have been in every one of
the European countries, making long
visits at the different universities, and
have collected the seals of all the
schools, with the signatures of their
presidents. My book also contains the
postmarks of towns I have passed
through.”
“Rattlesnake” attracted a crowd
whenever he appeared on the street.
Dressed in an old military suit, with
gunny sacks for a vest, he looks like
the true Robinson Crusoe. He has
never had on a pair of shoes and his
bare feet will scratch the ordinary
fir floor. "Jim” claims to have never
taken a bath.
“I make my living by selling trin
kets and dancing. The Sioux Indian
war dance and Swiss Yodling are my
favorites.”
Jim will leave Eugene Saturday,
going north to Vancouver, B. C., then
to Hawaii and South America.
