WESTERFIELD Manager’s and Editor’s Phone—841. More Pep, Men, More Pep! WITHAL OUIl vaporings about the Oregon spirit, and its tendency to manifest itself in touchdowns, the Emerald is skep tical. Alter a well organized campaign tor rooters practice on Tuesday afternoon an appeal to every student with the slightest vestige of a pair of lungs—about fifty men showed up on Kincaid field. What’s the matter? Is that Oregon Spirit a myth after all, a mere fine-sounding phrase that has no content? Without regular turn-outs between now and the coming 0. A. C.-Oregon football game, Oregon’s rooting stunt will be a fizzle. If the rooting is pepless and unorganized, don’t blame the team for anything that might happen. For spirit on the part of the rooting team of the University has the power of enthusing the football team with fight and courage that will produce winning touchdowns. And Oregon cannot win without a winning spirit. We will state this axiom over again and again. We believe in it. It was the foundation of Oregon’s past success, and can aid in future successes. We hate to say it, but we must. Oregon has got a bunch of pepless spirits, if Tuesday’s crowd is a true criterion. We urge that every house turn out en masse at the next root ers’ practice and this is also on urgent invitation to the women. An Efficient City Council A RECORD has been set in municipal affairs by the Eugene city council. A few days ago a petition was presented to that body by the students of the University requesting that lights be placed on 1 hirteenth street. The women of the University have always dreaded the dark street that they must needs tread every night after the library closed. No sooner was the petition presented thatn the request was fulfilled. Usually there is a lot of procrastination between “think ing the thought and doing the deed,’’ but in this case the two came simultaneously. The Emerald takes this opportunity of thanking the city council on behali ot the students, particularly the women, for their prompt action. Campus pre-initiation ceremonies seem popular with the men s honorary Jraternities. One sends its neophytes out in swal low tails, and another perches them atop precarious mounts to de liver campus soap-box speeches. It’s about time for that slumber ing feminism to wake up. Theta Sigma Phi take a hint! No, we can t make any suggestions. It’s not in our line. Thu sly writes one of our esteemed contemps: “The University of Oregon has suspended basketball and has placed a limit on all other athletics. The U. of O. does not mean to be outdone by Heed College”—La Grande Observer. Gee Gad! We wonder whether this is flattery or whether the spirit is one of mockery, sir.” Ihe following announcement appeared in the Emerald of November 6: “The Women’s Athletic association will meet Tues day afternoon ui the women’s gymnasium. The basketball outlook Joi this year will be discussed and every member is urged to be present. i ii ^ne wonder whether the women will play intercollegiate bas ketball. I here s a theory that eventually the women will become the masters, physical as well as mental. If grades are any criter ion, they re mentally superior now, but we weren’t aware of the other.

I + CUES 1 ...--—.. if (15) Koho .June Zahl A women’s colloge is a dangerous thing. And after all this talk about peace those O. A. C. hens are still mak ing shells. One of the men's houses has decid ed to serve spaghetti on spools. Publicity brings its own reward. Some one heaved a dead cat up on the lVltn Gamma sleeping porch the other night. Would you blame the cook? Or. Timothy Cloran still insists that umbrellas cover a multitude of sins. Does it pay to study psychology when you may get an ”H” if you don't? This is what Or. Conklin said yesterday: GIRLS ASK OUTSIDE GAMES Women's Association Wants Inter collegiate Athletics “On to co-ed intercollegiate ath letics,’’ will be the slogan for the women’s 'athletic association, until the plea is granted, according to a decision made at the last monthly meeting of the association. “'Co-ed athletics at O. A. C. are re garded as a student activity, why not at Oregon, also,” asked Jennie Hunt er, president of the association. “When the girls play hockey at O. A. C. everybody is interested and the armory is filled. When the Ore gon women play—our audience con sists of the immediate families and a few passing pedestrians.” “Basketball is a clean, open game, giving chance for the development of brains, grace, and muscle,” said Miss M. G. Cummings, 'director of the women’s physical department. ‘Even though it is hard on the heart, playing under girls’ rules elimiates heart strain. “The success of many of the wo men’s clubs in the state, in further ing civic efficiency is due to the team work, fostered by bastketball. It eliminates personal dislikes and stimulates the get-together spirit so essential in club work.” A hockey game with O. A. C. will be played November 20 at 9: 30 a. m. There will be no admission charges. « Nota Bene! #. - A Through error I announced A in assembly Wednesday morn- A ing that the vesper services £ next Sunday, November 14, £ would begin at 4 o’clock; but A they will begin at 4:30 instead.
