basketball again.
After a year of non-participation, the
University will again become a contender
for conference honors in intercollegiate
basketball. The re-instatement of the
mid-winter sport was effected at a spec
ial meeting of the faculty Tuesday after
noon. The hard fight of the students has
been won. The belated action of the
faculty follows a protest that was regis
tered by the student body in a petition
generously signed last spring by the stu
dents.
The re-instatement of basketball
neither bars intra-mural games ns were
conducted Inst year, nor is it an expres
sion of disapproval or recognition of
failure of the intra-mural system. The
claim has been steadfastly made,
though a fallacious argument in itself,
that failure of intra-mural basketball was
prima facie evidence that the inter-col
legiate brand was necessary. Not so;
the two—intercollegiate and intra-mural
—go hand in hand, at least theoretically.
The Emerald is a little sceptical, how
ever, of the practical working out of
the intra-uiural plan if it is to be con
ducted again this winter as it was lust.
An Instructor is needed who shall de
vote all of his time and attention to
that branch of athletics. The physical
training force is hard pressed aa it is
and the extra attention that the intra
mural regime will need this winter will
not ho forthcoming. Neither was
enough attention to he had last year.
The students co-operated with the
faculty in giving intra-mural games a
fair show lnat year. Tint the stonewall
■was met in the financial condition of the
University. Finances have prevented the
addition of another instructor for phy
sical training, the excuse is made, for
lack of attention to intra-mural basket
ball. The failure then of the plan cannot
readily be blamed upon the students.
OREGON FOR OREGON.
The students of our sister state in
stitution have a healthy and wholesome
spirit of clean rivalry. Their real good
will was shown at our game last Snt
, urda.v. A special train carried the O.
A. I', students to Eugene where they
backed Oregon, the state and the Univer
sity, with moral and vocal support. They
wore in the enemy's camp but is was the
camp of an honored enemy and their ac
tions showed the worth of their friend
ship and geuuiness of their regard.
Colleges seldom become more bitter
rivals than the two state schools of
Oregon. When they meet the strife is
of the fiercest. But when one is re
pelling an invader or carrying the name
of our state abroad it is but right that
the sister school should lend her the
strength of the conviction that the com
monwealth as a whole is behind her.
We have received evidence of the
friendship of the agricultural college, l.et 1
us return it in kind and show our own !
good sportsmanship November 25.

THE COLLEGE MAN.
The graduate of a university is sup
posed to be better fitted for the busi
ness o> life than his less fortunate com
rade who has been unable to gain a uni
versity education. Four years of study
and thought place a man in a more ad
vantageous position with resoect to the
world than four years of work at the
same age. This the world recognizes
in the main as true, yet at the same
time we hear on all sides, within lhe
university and without, that knowledge of
mere facts, mere familiarity with books,
mere technical knowledge of mathe
matics or philosophy, is of little value
to tlie college graduate in after life.
This '\,r:not well be denied, th.i; the
facts a college man acqu.res in Ins
study do not help him greatly iu the
problems of his life. Such facts as ho
learns he usually forgets without tin
duo del ty. * But it is what the man
has gained through the study of those
facts thu" makes his education valu
able to tm A nv.n who has studied
something may late.- tee! he has for
gotten it, lut he cpi never forgot the
unconscious effect it lias had on him.
It is through this perhaps unconscious
effort that education is of value. A man
may forget his books but be will not
forget the understanding lie lias gained
through them. lie may forget the courses
he studied but through them he has gain
ed a power to appreciate, a power to
understand things of widely varied char
acter, which will romftin with him. It
is iii this that, tile college man has the
advantage over the man without the op
portunity for education. It is because
of this power of appreciation and under
standing, of ability to see the world in a
truer light and with more nearly nor
mal values, that the university man
more often finds the world a better and
a happier place than bis less fortunate
eomrn de.
Ill the ultimate, tho greatest tiling a
man can take with him when lie grad
uates is understanding, an ability to ap
preciate himself and the different aspects
of the world in their true values. The
mail who understands a little why tilings
are as they are, why certain causes must
lead to certain effects, faces the world
with a better assurance of liviug a vain- ,
able life than the man who must grope j
blindly. It is for this that we study,
that we limy understand. And it is for
this our faculties ask us to study deeply,
because superficial study fails of the
purpose of education. We could not be j
expected to study to any great extent j
if a little temporal knowledge of facts
were the sole reward. But we can be
expected to study if we know that there
is a greater reward that will last through
life, true education, the ability to un
derstand. -Cornell Sun.

are in a class by themselves. These are

The University orchestra now comes
forward with a plea for recognition as a
student activity and the members to
be rewarded for service with a gold block

Did you notice the criticisms Oregon
alumni had for the condition of Kincaid

the cockles of your heart to know how
belated the University is in its reforms?

W(ash)., D. C. and W. S. C.
The passions that rent us asunder,
The word-fights that made our blood
hot,
The arguments making us wonder
Why men of such “shallow thought”
Should live without being under
Conviction as fools and then shot,
The belief it’s a terrible blunder
To allow t’other party to blot
Our land—this Political Thunder
Has ceased and now worries us not.
We’ve voted our ballot—proud, happy to
scratch it,
And our man may have won or have
lost;
“We seen our duty and done it”—the
hatchet
We’ve buried and gladly have tossed
Dissension to winds of the uttermost
heaven.
United we stand to exhaust
Our bodies and voices for Bezdek’s
Eleven,
When his sword and Dietz’s are cros
sed.
Elections may come and seem to divide
us,
But Oregon Spirit holds us as one;
That pride and that feeling, that cour
age inside us
Unite us forever for dear Oregon!

LET CLASS HOURS BE OURS,
so long as they are class.
The faculty did us wrong in abolishing
class hours two years ago.
Elbert Hubbard said after completing
an Orpheum tour at a thousand a week,
“If you’re worth five hundred a week
or over, you pronounce it ‘vode-veel;’ if
not, ‘vawda-viir.”
These Vode-veel shows that the clas
ses used to put on were entertaining,
but the faculty considered them too
frivolous.
Result: exit class hours.
(Note: class hours is a neuter noun,
plural number, nominative case, and ab
soulutely the verb must agree with it.
Exit is therefore incorrect, and exeunt
must enter this column instead. We
get this welcome gem of linguistic accur
acy from Bill Snyder just us we go to
press.)
To proceed with our plea for the
reinstatement of class hours. These
shows may have been bad; but class
spirit has not been the same since they
were flunked out of school by the fac
ulty. Our suggestion is this: let each
class put on a class hour, subject to
professorial censorship before presenta
tion.
We submit a sample one.

MY LITTLE GOAT.
i A Musical Comedy with One Axe.
Sc me
! A stage with wings. Director, a male
coach.
I A ballet chorus, of course—swell
looking janes with duds like lady bare
back riders in a circus. They move
rhyhmically in the form of a semicircle.
In front of them is a fortunate youth
j who kids them along and leads the sing
ing.
i The audience should be composed of
ardent lovers of the drahma, ranging
from the long-haired poets in the gallery
to the polished domes of painless
thought in the front row. All heads
slightly bent forward.
(Music—the tune of “Bring Back My
Bonney to Me”).
The chorus sings
Bring back, bring back, bring back my
goat back to me,
Bring back, bring back, bring back my
goa>t back to me-e-e.
The Fortunate Youth steps forward
and recites:
You’ve got my little, bearded boat,
You haven’t even sent a note
To tell me how Angora's health can be.
I’d rather lose
Ten thousand ewes
Than my little, thorned, whiskered, gam
boling goat.
Though I gladly gave him to you,
When I scarcely, scarcely knew you,
I wish that you’d send back my only
goat.
(Music again)
The chorus sways sheepishly and
sings:
Bring back, bring back, bring back my
goat back to me.
(The goat returns and eats up the
falling curtain.)
AN ARTIST.
With bluebirds painted on her gown,
And hats her own unique design,
Cleome has won a just renown
And merits “lovely” and “divine”
As adjectives ‘long with the noun
I'm saving for the final line.
We’ve seen her in the studio:
Her clothes are startling yet in taste;
To watch her drawing thrills us so
We gaze at her and idly waste
Our time, adnyring her attire—
An artist she, with creative fire.
BAND GOING TO PORTLAND
Will Give Concerts on the Streets Be
fore Game.
The University band will be in Port
land this week-end for the W. S. C. and
Oregon game. Before the game they
will give a, concert on the streets to ad
vertise the game and ineidently the Uni
versity. This is their opportunity to
display those new uniforms which were
so carefully shielded from the rain by
“slickers” last Saturday at the game.
This is the first time that the band has
accompanied the team on any of their
trips. Here is ft splendid chance to
get Oregon's band firmly landed on the
map, according to director Albert B.
