IT IS WITH a light heart that we await news of the proceed
ings and the final report of the committee appointed Wednesday
to investigate from ail angles the question of athletics ac Oregon.
Yesterday afternoon that committee held its first meeting and re
quested that the graduae manager have ready at the next meeting
a statistical report on the finances—receipts and expenditures—
the scholarship of athletes, the studies pursued, and the status
of athletes and athletics in toto.
Our former opposition to the movement dwindles. The objec
tion to the method pursued at first was that it was a matter 01
personal opinion as to which way the vote would go, it admitted of
bias based on ignorance, and the resolution was stated in such a
way that no middle course could be attempted.
We are light hearted now because we believe that athletics
will stand the Lest. We know that athletes are not prone to idle
ness, for the very fact that they are willing to stand tne drudgei^
of training is evidence enougn. As to scnoiarsbip, the final report
will show, as a similar report did in iyil, that low grades are not
directly related to athletic activities. Withal we are in sympathy
with the action of the faculty in that such an investigation, based
on actual figures and not on bias and partiality, will clear inter
collegiate athletics of present suspicion and future indictment.

The Proselyting Episode
WE ARE printing a communication from R. M. Reynolds,
the man who avowedly ‘‘went to Eugene in his car, represented
himself to be a friend of Charles Hoskins, took Hoskins for a ride
in his car and invited Hoskins to go over to the Oregon Agricul
tural College and look the institution over before he finally de
cided what school to attend this year. The story is false in every
other respect,” says Mr. Reynolds, and ‘‘every other respect” con
sists in the Emerald’s saying that the individual, who tried to
convert Hoskins to “animal husbandry.” called himself a Mr- Rey
nolds of the extension department of Oregon Agricultural Col
lege.
We stand corrected, Mr. Reynolds. You are not listed on the
pay roll of Oregon Agricultural College. But we recommend re
reading the story.
If half of the university found pleasure in making the rounds
during “open house” all of the university—faculty and students
alike—should find it the nth. degree of pleasure to make the
rounds again—aye, even thrice—for the progressive dinner on
Friday, October 8. In fact, we are considering fasting two or
three days in advance.

To the F.ditor: M.v attention has been
called to a story which appeared in the
Oregon Kmeruld under date o fXeptem
her _’l, representing that Mr. Iteynolds,
of the exteution de|iartmeut of the Ore
gon Agricultural College had surrep
titiously wormed his way into the
student quarters of l'.ugene and had at
tempted to bribe Charles Hoskins, foot
ball player, to leave the I'niversit.v of
Oregon and go to the Oregon Agricul
tural College.
The story is correct in that one Itey
nohls (the undersigned) went to Ku
geiie in his oar, represented himself to
he it friend of Charles Hoskins, took
Hoskins for a ride in his car and in
vited Hoskins to go over to the Oregon
Agricultural College and look the in
stitution over before he finally decided
what school to attend this year.
The story is false in every other re
spect. The Key nolds who went to Ku
gene is not i member of the extension
staff of the college nor in any manner
connected with the college. He made
the trip to I’ugoue upon his own respon
sibility and without the request, sug
gestion or even the knowledge of anyone
connected with the Oregon Agricultural
t 'ollcge.
Reynolds did not bribe or attempt to
bribe Charles Hoskins to go to the Ore
gon Agricultural College. He knew
that Hoskins had planned to utt. ml the
Oregon Agricultural College up to the
time he loft his home at Kclio. He
urged Hookius to go over to Corvallis
and investigate the courses and the in
stitution before he chose his work. He
offered to take Hoskins over in his oar,
and Hoskins agreed to go. Oregon
students and the Oregon couch per
sil.adcd Hoskins not to go.
It may lie of interest to the chaste
supporters of Oregon I’niversit.v ath
letics to know that Hoskins had com
pleted all his plans to attend the Ore
gon Agricultural College. It may he per
tinent to call attention to the fact that
while in I'endletou on his -way to Cor
vallis he was subjected to some in
fluences which changed his plans and
directed him to Hie IT, of O. It might
he impertinent in view of the effulgence
Indulged in by your editor on the sub
jeit of Simon pure quality of Oregon

nected with the University of Oregon
who do not "favor the conservation of
clean athletics unsullied hy athletic ag
