It is printed however to awaken the students to the fact that not all the grads think the old Oregon Spirit is just what it should be in the University. However that is a matter of opinion. The communicator may have been dis appointed with the rally Wednesday morning. Put he had no reason to bo so. Th'>rc was lots of “pepper” there. And there were extentunting circumstances to be taken into consideration why that rnll.v should not have the polish, snap and ii;’or of a rally later in the year when the yell leader and his committees are working in co-operation and tic whole affair goes off like clock work. But the communicator docs not stop, look or listen and toots like a factory whistle blowing off at the stroke of twelve. And yet in the high spots.of his artie'e he makes some wort ly sug gestions. We will not stop to inform him where he was off. A wise head would hive Investigated first. But we wil1 call attention to the constructive side of his article—and that is worthy of the stu dents consideration. It is right thnt there should be a rooting practice at least once a week. And no doubt there will be wnon ‘he yell leader has his forces organized. Aid we would suggest to the yell leader when ho is appointed that he arrangi for praeti i s. Aral it is up to every loyal Oregon student, to back that yell leader through thick and thin. Giro him physic.il sup port, }.!ve him moral support and shout for him until you rift tlie clouds in the skies, AA’e reiterate that there was pepper at the rally Wednesday and it was a good •end-off for the year. Foster that spirit as shown AVednesday and int ‘.n.fy it a bit and the rooters will put the neeis sary ginger into the team to send them over the line for a touchdown time after time. Are you 21? It is necessary that all voters register during the next ten days ns the registration books will close at that time. To exercise the prerogative of the franchise it is necessary that this formality be gone through. And for any student not to register who is of the legal age is to disqualify him as a loyal citizen. A motion was passed by the student council meeting last night which makes attendance of the members compulsory or else resignations are in order. It is too bad this is necessary nfter the vot ers have expressed confidence in those whom they expect to be representatives. It’s a crime to put an editor on the oratorical platform. lie can hold it down just about as well as the Democratic party held up theirs. This may be taken to suit your partisanship. In the absence of other good material the fireside bees are buzzing with politi cal gossip these days. Wilson and Hughes are stung quite frequently. The cheapest tiling to give and that which buys the most is courtesy. f COMMUNICATIONS f *-* TO THE MEN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Editor of Emerald: I’m not going to beat around the bush and try and give a lot of hot air about how glad I am to he back here. To tell the truth I’m more disgusted than mad. I attended the rally, or rather, the so-called rally, Wednesday morning. That exhibition of “sissyness” was more like a tea party or a cookie fight than like a rally. Where, O, where is the old l’ep? In my day, and that wasn't so long ago, we could make more noise with ten men than the whole outfit got rid of Outfitters for Sportsmen and Athletes Footballs, Baseballs, Basketba'ls, Sweaters, Gym Goods, Guns and Fishing Tackle “Shy” Huntington will be glad to show you our stock.

Address Emerald office U. of O. Geo. T. Colton, Business Mgr. all Wednesday morning. You fellows have got to get together and YELL. And when you yell, yell like -. Hoot ing helps as much as paid admissions to a football game. In fact, it helps a whole lot more. 0 « r Jtight now, if I°find the men of the student body out on the bleachers, I could cuss each and every one as an in dividual and then start in and do the job over again as a whole. And some of you fellows would feel ashamed of your, selves. If you don’t now, you ought to. As far as speech making goes, I’m no good. But if either myself, or some one of the older men, could get this bunch together we would make your hair stand on end. Get out and root and help the old team win the games. While I'm on this rooting question I want to say that there should be at least one afternoon a week that the fellows could get in to see the team in action, and learn the yells and give them. The men on the team would appreciate an afternoon of yelling and prehaps (I say prehaps advisedly) the men of this col lege could learn to yell together and get some of the old I’ep. Oregon Spirit isn’t moral support, it’s physical support. And when I say phy sical support I mean getting together and giving the team all the old fight you have in you. I can remember the time when I couldn’t yell any more, but I was there making a noise, or at least trying to. Who ever you pick out for yell leader give him the best you have, regardless of what you personally think of him. The job of Yell Leader isn’t a snap by any means. lie is out there working for the good of the varsity and working mighty hard. Ask any man that has played on the varsity during a big game and see if he doesn’t tell you the same thing as I am about to say. When the game is almost over and the subs have all been put in the game and still the score is against you then some body gets hurt and things are quiet for a moment. The old “Oregon Oskey Wow Wow” comes booming over the field and every man on the Oregon team feels a thrill along his spine and his hair stands on end. The teams lined up, the signal is called and Oregon starts on her march down the field, every man fighting like the devil himself and working with every ounce of strength ho has. Rooting is what did the business. Ask the men on the team and see if I am not right. And then you expect to help the teams win games with the exhibition you gave of yelling last Wednesday. It can’t be done, that’s all. Think it over and then get out and yell and show that the old spirit is not dead yet. HOLLAND C. KENNEDY, T2. Local Talent Featured (Continued from page one) credit being received, though the ester prise was under the auspices of the reg ular summer school. During the six weeks, seven perfor mances were given, two of “Truth,” by Clyde Ditch, two of a group of one-act plays by campus authors, and three of Ibsen's “Hedda Gabler.” The most interesting to college peo ple, of course, were the one-act^ 'plays written and produced by local talent. This program was varied, be ginning with a comedy by Dr. E. S. Bates, “A Modern Courtship,” followed by “Yours Respectfully,” a play written by Bess Colman. This formed a step ping-stone from the comedy to “Even as Their Betters,” by Leslie Blades, a play of bare realism touched with almost Rus sian bitterness. In sharp contrast to this came Mrs. Eric W. Allen’s charmingly poetic lit tle drama, “The Pot of Gold,” beauti ful in stage setting and sentiment. The last of the group, “The Children of the Mesa,” by Dr. E. S. Bates, was parti cularly interesting at the time as a bit of Mexican life, with its intermingling of romance and tragedey. . The caste of these plays included; Professor Thacher, Doctor Bates, Rosa lind Bates., Mrs. Allen, Helen Bracht, Marion Tuttle, Echo Zahl, Edna Con don, Lillian I.ittler, Hallie Hart, Robert Earl, Cleveland Simpkins, Charles W. Prim and George Colton. Ibsen’s “Hedda Gabler,” the most dif ficult play attempted, was favorably commented upon by all who saw it and the summer school students especially appreciated the Thursday matinee put on for their benefit at the closing of school. Doctor Bates, in commenting on the work, unhesitatingly placed the credit for the success of the productions upon the members of the company who worked conscientiously and without prodding with a delightful spirit of co-operation. The expenses incidental to the produc tions were met by small admission fees, and each performance saw full houses. The enthusiastic response of the sum mer school students, the undisputable success of the venture, both financially and artistically, surely justifies a repe tition of the undertaking next year. Oregon Spirit Gets (Continued from page one) nition be given the men for their work, since participation in the varsity games was prohibited by the intercollegiate ruling. Leon Ray of the class of 1£>12 re minded the students that the attitude of the citizens of the state toward the University depends upon the impres sion which the students themselves make. Miss Jeanette Wheatley, representing the Women’s League outlined the plan of its organization for the benefit of the new students. Forensics must receive the support of the students if they are to remain a student aetivitit.v, accord ing to Walter Myers who spoke on the necessity of not only participating in but also supporting this branch of student enterprise. That the Emerald offers a splendid opportunity for those ambitious young men and women who aspire to journalis tic fame, was the message brought by Harold Hamstreet. He also urged that they begin immediately for the first year is the logical time to undertake the work. m SAVOY THEATRE The Dime a Night Show with a Dynamite Blow FRIDAY ONLY Charlie Chaplin “One A.
