THE SECRECY OF THE COUNCIL.
The Athletic Council 1ms taken upon itself the utmost sec
recy. Why they deem this necessary is not known. 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.

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. Or, rathet, 1 should say that he’ll
rui into you — ploughing along the path,
arms full of .books, chest lifted ami
arebtfd— as per I. 1). 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

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.
Mis is a kihI, sad ease.

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.

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.

[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.
