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.
