THE MOUNTAIN AND THE MOLE HILL The following story appeared in a Eugene newspaper recently: “Two hundred or more men stu dents of the University of Oregon, members of the different fraternities, held a ‘frat mix’ in the dining room of the Eugene Commerical Club last night. This is the second affair of its kind ever held by the Oregon stu dents, but it is planned to make it an nual. The dining room was fitted up as a huge bar room and there the thirsty and hungry ‘studes’ relieved the inner man with copious draughts of cider and big mouthfuls of hot dogs, sandwiches and other ingredi ents of the old-time free lunch. Rou lette, craps, ‘21’ and poker and vari ous other games of chance that could formerly be seen at the big ‘joints’ in the north end at Portland and on a smaller scale in Eugene in the wide open town days, were in full swing during the evening. Thousands of dollars were won and lost by the stu dents, but it was in ‘Smoker’ money manufactured for the occasion. The' ‘mix’ was a decided success, judging j from the great clouds of smoke and| noise that issued from the room.0 j The Pacific Christian Advocate makes' this comment: “It is to maKe every tax-payer and every citizen of the state oblush as he reads this account, to think that tho University authori ties would permit such conditions to exist. If this report is correct, it harmonizes with other statements fre quently circulated reflecting on the conduct of University students. It is a deplorable state when a young man can hardly enter the Freshman class without being forced to take up dancing, cigarette smoking and other correlated habits, habits not only for eign but untogonistic to the Chris-; tian life.” We print tho foregoing comment, not for the purpose of answering it— with any reasonably fair-minded read er no answer is necessary—but be cause it is a specimen of the kind of criticism to which a college is ex posed. It is not a true specimen, to be sure, but an abnormality which is of sufficiently frequent recurrence to claim attention. In this case some reporter, after the manner of reporters, seized an opportunity to play up an entirely in nocent and wholesome entertainment in erubescent guise. So far as the article goes, it is innocuous, if right ly read. It states that the liquor, served at the “bar” was ordinary ci der, and that the money which was gambled away by the students was “phoney.” The fancied resemblance to the north end of Portland and the j “great clouds of smoke that issued from the room” were figments of the reporter’s imagination. Nevertheless,' here' is one paper which finds in the article the text for a general incrim ination of University life. The incident illustrates the circum spection with which any narrator of even the most inoffensive actions of college students must proceed. The Emerald is in a specially difficult po sition because its most numerous readers, the students, demand a lively portrayal of the peculiar life of the campus in which they are interested. We try to satisfy the demand, and at the same time safeguard the Uni versity against the attacks of the ig norant, the prejudiced, and the nar row-minded. Each member of our staff is admonished constantly to test his every statement in the crucible of its effect upon the reputation of the University. We have no reason to shrink from presenting Oregon student life as it is. All we or any other paper should seek to do is to preclude perversions and misconstructions of the truth. And, believe us, it’s some job. * CAMPUS NOTES Cordon Billings, Ben Harding, Geo. Sullivan and Harold Warner were din ner guests at the Chi Omega house on Sunday.
