He is one, who if he does not know the man whose name appears on the ballot, is a decided partisan. In case the man represents an issue with which he is familiar, then he votes as his judgment dictates. In the voting of amendments the average student showed a great lack of analytical judgment, ex cept in rare instances, and an over abundance of prejudice. It was in the choice of presidential electors that the most interest was aroused. Where there was an intimate knowledge of national issues, party affiliations were utterly disregarded and the voter exercised the right of franchise simply as his judgment dictated. But the tendency to fall back on party faith showed a bullish streak where there was a choice for unknowns. It was very evident little thought had been given to many of the amendments and prejudice had largely ruled. SJtill it cannot he effectively rebutted that in some instances this prejudice prognosti cates the nctual results of state ballot ing November 7th. OREGON SPIRIT. The best spirit of any college in the northwest—that is a characterization of the atmosphere and attitude found on our campus by a professor of Cor nell University, who in traveling through the western country, recently visited Dugene. That was his impression, his idea of the situation among the colleges and Universities in this part of the United States. He came representing the thought and analytical tend cies of a large eastern university and his stand ards of judgment were gleaned in that atmosphere, yet he was more pleased with the University of Oregon than many of her sister schools. His assertion is not a new one, hut It comes from a new point of view, a slightly different position than that which generally heralds the superiority of the “O.egon Spirit.” Oregon is a comparatively small col lege situated in a small town. Here, the University is the thing the town is secondary. Here we live in close con tact with the campus, familiar with it and its people. Few of u* come on streetcars, none from considerable dis tances. The quotation is trite, but “it is a small college and there are those who love it.” We know oath other, speak to each other and are not strangers. After all, it is friendship that makes for associations and traditions, and it is these that foster true college spirit. Such friendship, such cordiality, such associations are the woof and fiber of democracy that democracy which, though threatened, we have and are proud of. Here the man's the thing. Dollars count for little. It is in this demoerary, in this unity of friendship and closeness of associa tions, in our compact community and organization, that our spirit is possible. Our University is growing past our power of belief. If we would continue to hold the position accorded )£ we must take care that in the process of growth we do not lose’ our democracy, our efficiency, our friendship one 'or another—for of such is the spirit of Oregon.
