Two meetings have been held so far this year, and no positive statements have been made so far by any members of the actions taken at either meeting. Maybe they have been keep ing their actions under cover for good reasons. But it seems to the Emerald that what concerns the students, should be the common knowledge of the students. In the matter of selecting an athletic coach, the council is acting for the students. Of the 1640 students in the University of Oregon, four are members of this body. And they have been told to keep the actions of the council secret. Thus the students have not been told wliat is being done for or against them. What concerns the students has been kept from them. In printing the actions of the council, the Emerald has taken‘the stand that honest and straighforward publicity doesn’t harm that which is honest and straightforward itself. If 4he athletic council is working for the good of the Univer sity of Oregon and its students, which we believe, the relat ing of its activities will do no harm. The question of a coach for the coming football season should be settled definitely without delay. Every effort should t)e.bent by the council towards securing a man, if a new one is secured, who will unit;' the entire student body behind' hiqi. We hope that the athletic council is honestly and straightforwardly working toward that end. Perhaps it is for the best that certain actions of the coun cil be kept under cover. But we ask to be shown. We believe that'inasmuch as every loyal student of Oregon is vitally con cerned with what, the athletic council does, every student should know what is being done. If the athletic council is working towards a united1 Oregon, student sentiment should be felt out- And bow can student sentiment be felt out unless that sentiment is presented with the facts of the case. *_i-* 1 ' I [ The Campus Cynic I I *-—-.—.—.-* MAN WITH PURPOSE. To the Editor: ; • i Have you seen him lately? The man frith n purpose in life, I mean. You’ll run into him about the campus frequent ly.

It. eyes fixed on space, uud mcutully rehearsing Lesson Five, of "Power of Will," which rends: "You Can BE, if You Want to BE. Say, every minute, '1 WILL. 1 WILL sne ered. Nothing Shull Stop Me. 1 am Master of My Fate — Captain of My Boulj Keep The SPIRIT of The CON Ql’KROR. *1 WILL—I WILL." About this point he collides with you, favors you with a stern look, and stamps on with,the conquering tread. You see him march firmly up to the library desk. "I want," says he, in sue Hurt, riming tones (Lesson Six on "The Valup of Voice Placement") "I want Professor Popolovitch's third volume of 'The Analytical Psychoanalysis of the Posterior Keeling Apparatus of the Hard shelled Beetle Bug." Some two hours later, on receiving this tome, you see him march flat-footedly to a scat, sit doxvu squarely, open the volume deliber ately, look about him with a piercing gage, and dive in. Two hours Inter he comas up for air. You hear him in class. "I find. Pro fessor X," says he, enunciating his vowels carefully and patiently, "that T am unable to agree with the fourth state rnept of your third premise. Now, let us consider psychologically, the atavistic phenomena, which, expressed in simple Freudian complex’s, can he only too ap parent. Now, the most cogent ’’ You see him, after classes, go chimp ins down the street, with u high hoek ac tion and no interference, turning in til some isolated monastery by the wayside. On the jolly and festive Friday, and Sat urday, and Sunday, and Monday, anti Tuesday—well, on those few nights when students turn out to fuss, you see his light winking sternly through his cell on tin' third floor, llis habitat is not known. Hitt we can say as a general rule that he does not dwell in fraternity houses; there is a mutual disagreement. We have not been able to definitely as certain what he eats, or when he sleeps. There is a great field open here for scientific investigution. We know that in after life one of two | things happen to him. Either lie remains | single and gets to lie the president of the largest button-hole factory in the world and annually returns to his col lege to tell the students how to he suc cessful in life, or else he is married by some sweet sensible girl, and, thus, one more soul is reclaimed to the world.

A STUDENT, j JUNIOR JINX VERSATILE| Class Lottery Dance Has Many Unique Features and Costumes. Staid preachers’ sons coyly kidding the vamps along, bally Englishmen succumb ing to the wiles of fair country lasses, and cadets, polished handsome cadets to set any girl’s heart aflutter, interesting looking bums much engrossed in their chocolate ice cream cones, and even a student or two registering their usual bewilderment in the presence of so much confusion —- a most mnnziug throng. All this was at the Junior I.ot- I lory last Friday night; no doubt every one noticed the sounds of merry-making in the old gym that evening. And then there was the “feature” dance. For once each maiden was sure of a prince of some sort though it has been whispered that cheating entered even there.

FARMER WINS SEVEN FORDS ON CALIFORNIA Stakes 1918 Cadillac Against Flock of Flivvers That Ohio Would Lose by 2 Touchdowns. Some. lucky fannor whose home is near Eugene, is the owner of a family of i Fords as the result of a wager on the California-Ohio football game at Pasa dena. f Said farmer, who is an enthusiastic supporter of California, so the story goes, bet a 1918 Cadillac against seven Fords that California would beat Ohio by at least two touchdowns. He won. As a result, a procession consisting of seven Fords and one Cadillac, hitched together after the fashion of elephants in a circus parade, arc plowing their way through the inud of the Pacific highway, en route to Eugene from Los Angeles. The proud owner of the pro cessn.n picks up hikers along the road to steer his machines and keep them in the straight and narrow path. The winner has christened his fliv vers ‘'Prick,” “Charley,” “Pesky,” ••t'rip." “Fat.” "Corf,” and “Dan,” after conspicuous heroes on the California team.

Dance Wednesday evening under the auspices of the American Legion at Springfield. s-t-w [Audience Enjoys Sunday’s Vesper Service. “What n gem of an address,’’ many were heard to say at the close of the University vesper service held at 4:30 Sunday, January 23, at Villard hall. Professor Frederick S. Dunn, of the department of Latin, was the speaker. | His plea was that we dispel the pall of gloom and depression that is abroad in : , the land, and that we not allow our- ! selves to become discouraged because of disappointment in our plans, i “Would that Sir Galahad could grasp his sword again and slay this mighty monster of discouragement,” said Pro fessor Dunn, after expressing the thought that this is not a time of ‘dis appointed nations’ as has been said, but a time of disappointed individuals.” The speaker told simply the story of the “Other Wise Man,” illustrating the point that we may give our days to the pursuit of an ideal only to find at last that we have fallen far short of it. The fourth wise man in his search for the King stopped by the way to perform many acts of service. So, said Profes sor Dunn, if we feel that we are not at taining the high goal we have set for ourselves, let us stop and consider if we are living a life of service. The University choir, composed of the men's and women’s glee clubs, directed by John Stark Evans, sang “Saviour, When Night Involves the Skies.” by Shelley. Glen Morrow, baritone, car ried the solo part of the anthem. Vin cent Engoldinger was accompanist. Andrew Fish of the department of English literature presided at the ser vice. ILLINOIS WOMEN SHOOT. More than 100 women at the Univer sity of Illinois have signed up for the women’s rifle dub which is to be or ganized soon. The club will be coached by members of the military department and the same rifles will be used which the cadets use. LOST — Plaiil gold scarf pin bearin'; Greek letters Phi Delta Kappa.
