This issue of the Emerad features the campus Young Men s Christian Associ ation in its field and work. This issue then is called the special Y. M. O. A. edition, THE Y. M. AGGRESSIVE MANHOOD As for a jelly fish making goo-goo eyes at a man-eating shark and having the shark flip his tail in fear, that is a ridiculous presumption. Hut it is just ns ridiculous to suppose the ideal man s a spineles. piece of clay receiving the blessings of the Lord for his ability to be as other men are not and his near perfection of “sissmtss.” Yet such i.n ideal sunns to be that which the comm m layman holds of the You*ig Men’s Christ ian Association type. Let us prick that misconception and see really what is (lie ideal man ns far as the Y. M.’s purpose is concerned. Perfection is an art impossible to attain. Hut the very fact that it is im possible to attain does not mean it is not worth striving for. To criticise then an endeavor 1* to open one's self to or t ieism. The purpose of the Y. M. C. A., 1 ns the Emerald sees it in its campus | work, is to instill within all college men ! the desire to atta.n perfect manhood. That is perfect manhood i.s embodied in the ideal type. Nor is the ideal type that misconception of the popular mini which makes men a spineless creature of sissinetE. This is purely carping criti cism of those who make the endeivor to live cleanly, religiotn-ly and spiritually, broad in their contact with others, clean in their thoughts of life and aggressive ill their policy of firmly adh -ring to those standards of peifeetion which are ns they set them. It is the man who can do so who is the perfect man, the ideal type. Jtather than criticise the man who tries, should he lie praised for his en deavor. CONCERNING THE F00T3ALL COACH At the time of going to press there is no definite news regarding the selection of a iYiotlml coach for the Fall. The only tiling we can say at this time is that the matter is still in the hands of the Foot ball Committee and the Pnlverslty Ath letic Committee. Following the reports in the newspapers that the University Athletic Committee had decided not ,o approve the reeon.'uuiemlatiou of the football committee tint Coach Folwell he rdu’iiej there was special meeting of the "uiverslty Athletic Committee n Wednesday at the eoneh.sioi of which following statement was given out ‘or publication: "At a meeting of the University Com I The Varsity Barber Shop The place where the stu dents go. Bring your razor in and have it put in good shape. Ask me about it. John McGuire Proprietor. inittee on Athletics at which various in terests were represented, Mr. Folwell being present, it was voted that Mr. Folwell’s name be restored to the list of tentatively approved candidates for next year’s football coaches.” The action of the Committee/ there fore, put the matter once more in the hands of the Football Committee.—Old Penn University of Pennsylvania, Feb ruary 2. The professor who good gunning for seniors the last semester oi a senior’s year is like the hunter who shoots his birds before they fly. In other words he is a poor sportsman. Such a lugubriors climate as Oregon has would make a Greek theatre look like a shower room. fijis win m m 10 MEET SIGMA CHI Land First Place in Section Two by Defeating Delts in Hard, Scrappy Game.

Forty-Five Turn Out But Few Varsity Men Are on Hand. Workout Is Light as Yet; Turn out Is Gradually In creasing. Although yesterday saw 45 men on the jol) in running garb, whereas only 15 were in evidence at this time last weak, and despite the fact that, ns yet, only extremely preliminary “warming up” ex ercises have been the evening program, trainer “Bill” insists upon reiterating his statement of a few weeks ago that, “Ore gon hasn't a chance to win the confer ence championship in track this spring, unless a few dark numbers show up.” “Bill” admits that he has not giv.n all the new recruits the “once over” as yet, but that he never saw a champion ship track squad in .do in one season’s drill. The old point winners of former years are slow in coming out. Of course, th(‘ central fibre of last year’s aggrega tion will not be on hand. Such men as Bostwick, Muirhead, and Fee have been graduated. As a nucleus around which to shape a possible banner squad, the last roll call showed Captain Martin Nelson of northwest middle-distance fame, Don Bolding and Bob Case, who are expected to plod away consistently at the dis tances. and Kent Wilson and Oscar Gor ecssky for sprints. A few laps at a slow jog around the track has been the menu so far. “Bill” intends to increase the s iffness of work out from now on until the squad is on a regular training schedule. Warm weath er will bring out a new array of jerseys and spikes. The wind-up of the intramural basket ball season will transfer the center of athletic attraction frot the floor to the field. !

Not Ready at Present to Act on Suggestion for Greek Theatre. Charles Dundore was elected manager of the Oregana by the student council last night to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Creston Maddock. Mr. Dundore has been assistant manager of the publication since the first work was begun <jn this issue. The members of the council refused to commit themselves upon the question of the erection of a Greek theatre on the campus presented by Prof. A. F. Reddie and President Campbell. The proposal was that on a site on the Uni versity golf links a Greek theatre be built for the use of the dramatic classes as well as student rallies and the like. In response to an invitation from the council, Prof. F. L. Stetson discussed the complaints made' that the pupils from the University high school are overrunning the campus. “The unfortunate thing is, that the building was placed where it is” said Prof. Stetson. “And although every ef fort is made to keep the pupils within our own bounds, until we have a gym nasium of our own and a playground farther away from the campus we will probably be somewhat in the way.” Ernest Watkins, Harold Tregilgas and Francis Shoemaker were appointed to co-operate with a committee from the band to investigate the form which an independent organization might take and the possibilities of it. Those present at last night’s special meeting were: Ernest Watkins, Harold Tregilgas, Ray Couch. George Cook, Carl Becke, Jennie Huggins, Francis Shoemaker. Martha Beer, Floyd Wester field, Nicholas Jaureguy, Leura Jerard, and Harold Ilamstreet. Oregon’s Wrestling Team Will Leave for 0. A. C. Friday. Shockley Makes No Comment as to Prospects in the Meet.
