We re fer to the taking of first place in the State Oratorical Contest at McMinn ville by Oregon’s representative. Perhaps you, gentle reader, are one of those who wot not of this victory —who did not even know that the contest was to take place, Perhaps, too, you are proud of the fact. In the old Arcadian days, before the organizations and activities on the campus were quite as numerous as the students themselves, and before there was a dance or entertainment to attend almost every night, the state oratorical contest amounted to a great deal here, as it does now among the smaller institutions of the state. Then the Oregon representa tive was given as great a demonstra tion when he went out to do verbal battle, and as great an ovation when he returned victorious, as is now ac corded our athletic champions. Oregon's record through the long series of these contests, as in most other activities in which she is en gaged, is one whlcn does us proud. In spite of the fact that seven or more other colleges huve always been con tenders for the leadership, Oregon has taken first place in the majority of contests, and always her orators have been near the top. It is well that it has been so, for in the eyes of numerous citizens of this state, a good name in this so-called intellec tual activity is more to be desired than intent riches and other fruits of victory in athletic contests. And yet the rank and file of the students scarcely knew of last Fri day’s contest, and apparently they did not care. At any rate, the tele phones in the local cigar stores were not overtaxed by students clamoring for the results. The reasons for this apathy are not hard to divine. The first is a nat ural and justifiable one. We shrink from attending debates, lectures, “high-brow” plays, classical musical concerts, and other opportunities for culture and mental delectation because they are not a relaxa tion from the routine of studies, but merely more of the same thing. For the same reason, we find pleasure in games, dances, musical comedies, and This reaction, we repeat, is natural. But there is another cause for our neglect of such worthy activities as debate and oratory. This is a condi tion against which we have inveighed before—that of over-organiation. We say again that the students of this University are trying to do—not too much—but too many things, outside their classroom work. There is an S. P. U. O.—Society for the Prevention of Useless Organi ations—in actual operation In the East. The sooner it installs an ac tive chapter at the University of Oregon the better. Then, perhaps, will some of our neglected worth while activities come into their own. * CAMPUS NOTES * Kappa Alpha Theta entertained with a dinner dance at the Hotel Os burn on Saturday evening.
