DISLOYALTY TO THE LAW SCHOOL? Nabbed by the cont In pel we were lgnotniniously shunted into the limelight the other day by n law professor ns ho pronounced us disloyal to the law school and the University. lie was vitriolic in his terms and was prone to wax most eloquent as the students passed to and from their clnsses. Without endeavoring to make answer to him then we. learned the specific charge and promised answer, even ns a judge might consider well. It seems the Emerald published two stories, one Tuesday, October 3, 101(5, which was a communication from Lamar Tooze, former student body president and now at Harvard law school, who after comparing the spirit of Oregon with that of Harvard generalizes with a brief des cription of the law school itself. The story was headed, "Oregon’s Democracy Can not lie Equaled.” The second story was printed Thursday, January 11, 1017, and was based on a letter from n graduate of the University now attending a grad uate school and in which he speaks well of the graduate, work. We have been careful to get the point of view of the University professor and his objections to the stories and we find they are that the Emerald has no right to publish any matter pertaining to other universities in which it speaks in praise worthy terms of those institutions. For this, in the mind of the professor, woidd be rank disloyalty and treason of the worst kind. Further, contends the pro fessor of law, the University is attempt ing to build up n graduate school and all Oregon students should attend the Univ' rsity of Oregon and no other, and It is wrong for any student upon grad uation to leave Oregon to attend a grad uate school elsewhere. In other words a student’s first duty is to remain at his alma ranter. Now we love consistency in a preacher. Nevertheless our preacher-professor has not proven himself witli this quality. Ilis record reads: It. A.. University of Penn sylvanin; graduate student in (lermany; g— - --- -- Patronize Home Industry And use Butter Manu factured by The Lane County Creamery Always Fresh and Sanitary Phone 117 48 Park St. M. A., Stanford and Ph. D. at Johns Hopkins. We do not uncover this professor’s record for a bit of childish humor, but rather to bring out a point we have harped upon before — provincialism. Uarlier in the year we derided the Uni versity of California for its provincial ism and criticised the exclusive atmos phere tlin't hung over nil the coast col leges and universities. We have blamed it upon ignorance of students as to other colleges and universities. How often do we hear, “Why I never heard of that school,” and “What is Taussig?” or “Is Yale in Alabama?” The students go to the universities and colleges of their choice and there re main for four years. Unless they are ex ceptions they follow only the prescribed course of study and know no more about the different sections of this United •States than they did before they came to be “educated”. Let everyone become as provincial as such students and how long would it be that sectional boundaries of this nation would be far more sharply de fined than they are now! What Oregon needs is not for her grad uate students to stay here. It is for them to get away—get far, far away. Likewise should their places lie taken at the University by those easterners who do not know any more about the west than that it is a wild and wooly place filled}! with oowpunehers, bears and In dians ! THE PURPOSE OF THE SIGMA DELTA CHI There is no profession and no business possession as fine a standard of ethics and morality as does journalism. Neith er are there any forms of modern en deavor conducted with stall a percentage of accuracy. Few are ns efficient. There, is no profession, neither is there any calling, which enters so continuously, so eternally, so universally and so entirely into the lives of the world’s population as does journalism. This very fact ren ders its ethics, efficiency and accuracy the more remarkable. With a completeness that is extend ing daily, the proas of this country is be ing controlled by practical idealists. The demand for such men is increasing with tln> growing professional qualities ami tendencies of newspaper work. It is with the hope of helping to supply this de mand, of sending the college-trained newspaper men of the United States out to their great public work with higher ideals and clearer insights, that Sigma l Vita Chi exists. The future is the ob ject ol the endeavor of this organization ; not the future of its members but the future of a great profession.—,f. /). 1 ripje A met last ’Thursday evening at the Kappa Alpha Theta house.

Oregon Basketball Quintet Has Row of Zeros Thus Far. Jimmy Sheehy Only throe more games remain to he played before the requiem is sung on the most unsuccessful intercollegiate basket ball season Oregon ever experienced. The team meets the University of Washington five in Seattle on Thursday and Friday nights, February 22 and 23, in its second series of the year. Sat urday night, February 24. the Varsity will hook up with the fast Multnomah Clubmen of Portland on the Multnomah floor. Despite the fact that all the dope points to the continuation of the past defeats there is a fair chance of the boys’ breaking their long string of ostrich eggH. Bezdek has been putting the team through the stiffest kind of scrimmage ever since the Washington games in an effort to break into the win column. Coach Bezdek is holding out hopes that his charges may bag at least one victory, or possibly two, out of the remaining three games. Cate and Hollis Iltintiugtn at for wards, McCready at center, with Shy Huntington and Fox doing duty, is the combination that has been working to gether for the past two weeks. Dick Nelson has been doing relief duty at center, with Sims and Carl Nelson sub stituting at guard. Oregon will be prepared to meet Wash ington’s long-passing game when the two fives tangle at Seattle. Bezdek has been coaching the team to meet this attack which they found so hard to handle in the games on the local floor. The Varsity is depending on a dribbling, long shot game to sag the net. The men are too inexperienced to use the short, clever, underhand pass to any degree of effec tiveness. Multnomah Club will be a hard nut to crack. The scarlet and white is repre sented by one of the 1 est teams in its history. Clayton Sharp and Bob Morton, former Oregon basketball men of two years ago, are both playing with the Portlanders. Washington State has been tin' only team able to defeat them so far. 'l'lie Oregon Aggies were practically eliminated from the race for the coast title by their defeat at the hands of the W. S. C. quintet last Friday night. Coach Holder's men easily vanquished the Aggies, after their California in vasion, which was profitable to the ex tent of an even break with California and two victories over Stanford. Wash ington State has the upper hand in the conference race at present. Next Friday and Saturday (4. A. C. tangles with Washington in Seattle. The Corvallis men will board a steamer for California immediately after the games to play California and Stanford. Past performances indicated the Aggies are due for a double licking by the “Bears” but ought to grab at least one of the two games with Stanford. Should the above happen California will be tied with Washington State for the 1017 Coast basketball championship. George Ta.vlor defeated I’ete Jensen in the It!,> and Flegal defeated Harnett in the ltd at tile final tryout for these posi tions in the Oregon wrestling team, yes terday afternoon. The team is now made tip for the meet with (>. A. C., which will take place at Corvallis next Friday night, February 1(1, The five men who will make the trip are Flegal, ltd pounds, Claude llill, Hid, 1'wight Wilson, Fid. Rutherford, 14S; and Taylor, Rid. llill, Wilson and Ruth erford won their positions on the Ore gon team at the tryouts held in the Men's gymnasium Saturday afternoon. l.ittle dope is available from O. A. O. in regard to its wrestling: team this year except that tin1 Aggies have llld wrest lers on the mat. This gives them a prac tically unlimited field of material. Their comparative ability with Oregon, how ever, is not known. Oregon has had only fifteen wrestlers out this year. Send the Emerald home U. OF 0. IIS 0. ». C. DEBATE IS HU 2 Fleischmann and Jaureguy to Make the Trip to Palo Alto. Two Places on Co-ed Team Now Open to Com petition. The wording of the question to be used in both the O. A. C. and Stanford de 1 utes has just been reeeiveci. The heading is as follows: “Resolved, that the method of settling disputes by compulsory in vestigntion with a compulsory acceptance 1 award should be adopted in industrial disputes involving one hundred or more r"rsons.” The two Varsity debaters to make the trip to Palo Alto for the contest March 2 arc Earl Fleischmann and Nicholas .far,reguy. Mr. Fleischmann debated against the Stanford representatives last year. Mr. Jaureguy holds the Alumni medal for debating as well as having the distinction of being the only man in col lege awarded the forensic shield. The O. A. C. debate will take place March 2. Vivian Kellems and Walter Myers will debate on the affirmative side at Corvallis. The negative will be defend ed here by Don Davis and either Walter Bailey or Lewis Beebe. Oregon has an almost unbroken record against O. A. C. Miss Kellems will be the second woman to take part in the regular collegiate de bates. Lust year Rosalind Bates and Walter Myers obtained a unanimous de cision in their debate. » Co-ed Debate. The tryouts for the co-ed debate with the University of Washington will take place February 23. Two plnces will be open to competition. The girls making the team will take the trip to Seattle about the first week in May. Dean A. R. Priest, debating coach, of the University of Washington, has word ed the question, which reads ns follows: “Resolved, that the constitution of the United States should be amended so ns to insure equal suffrage for men and wo men in all the states of the union.” Oregon has the right to choose the side of the question which she prefers. Conch R. W. Prescott says lie will be ready to announce the choice within a week. But this will in no way interfere with the tryout as the girls may take either side they wish. The co-eds expecting to try out should see Coach Prescott at once. The speeches will not be longer than ten min utes and the length of the rebuttal will be arranged after all the contestants have registered. No previous debating experience is necessary, the debaters will lie judged solely on individual ability. A number of senior girls who expect to go into the Failing and Beckman ora torical contests have signified their in tention of entering the debate tryout. Whether they make the team or not this will give them added experience. “It is an excellent plan,” said Coach Prescott. “I advise all the women who expect to enter the commencement con Dance Gratis Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday—Lots of Joy in the Funnygraf The Rainbow Friday and Saturday Special Orchestra test to take advantage of this co-ed try out.” The girls entering thus far are Eyla ! Walker, Martha Beer, Marion Tuttle and Rosamond Shaw. BARRIE PLAY IN MARCH Intermediates in Reddies’ Classes to Present “Admirable Crichton.” Thins are being made by Prof. A. F.
