THE CANDIDATES.
The president, vice-president and secretary of the associ
ated students* and the editor of tlic Emerald will ho the most
criticized students in tfhe University next year. Not that unfit
men or women will be elected’, but it is natural that they should
he criticized. The students filling those offices cannot fail
to be displeasing to some students next year, just as they have
ip the past.
Today all readers of the Emerald will have an opportunity
to see just what these candidates intend to do if they are elect
ed, what they intend to work for, what principles they stanjdt
for, and how they aim to conduct their office. It is not alone
on these statements or platforms that the candidate merits
election, but such an outline written by the candidates them
selves should influence the vote of any who might as yet be |
undetermined as to which candidate is most fit.
Xu stating the principles which they intend! to follow if
elected, the candidates are outlining their plans for the com
ing year. No doubt, they intend to follow them out. If any
one is opposed to those sentiments now expressed, he cannot
in fairness vote for that candidate, knowing that those views
disagree with his own.
The best and most capable men and women in the Univer
sity who cared to unldlertake the tremendous work connected
With these offices are the candidates whose names will appear
on the ballot. The University, and the associated students
will no doubt wend its successful way, whoever may be elected.
The successful candidate will be the one whose views, whose
character, and whose past record in stulIJent activities is the
most pleasing to the greatest number of students.
In) spite of what may he said, the result of tomorrow's elec
tions will decide which candidates will receive the support of
the majority of students during the next year. It is certain
that no student will vote for any candidate but that one w|ho,
in his minkH will administer the office best.
It is about time for doughnut baseball to start. Evenings
are long, and there are plenty of vacanlt lots available. Let’s
get going!
REUSED BE RESULTS
Response Made By Visitors Is
Appreciated.
Satisfaction not only with the financial
raftult of the concert given by the Port
land Symphony Orchestra in the Wo
man’s memorial hall last Saturday even
ing, but especially with the appreciation
shown by the audience, was expressed
by "Mrs. Donald Spencer, manager of the
orchestra. A more appreciative audience
eotjdd not have been asked for, she said
Tho total receipts of the concert will
be about $1100, according to the 1'uiver
sity management of the concert. Part of
the advance sale has not been settled up
•S' yet, but enough tickets remain to be
turned in to materially alter the total
This is about $500 less than the amount
to be given the orchestra for the con
cert. However, the management feels
that the concert could have done worse
and better, us well.
Particular appreciation of the support
given by the loyal students who attend
ed the concert was expressed by the
management. The girls, especially, for
it was “their show." were commended
for supporting the concert both by their
attendance and by working hard to make
the undertaking a success. However
those in charge were disappointed be
cause more of the girls did not respond.
The men, they said, could not be blamed
so much for not attending because the
entertainment was not staged primarily
for them. The support of the men was
appreciated all the more for that reason
Those who worked, worked hard, and for
their efforts the management is thankful
A great deal of praise is due Alfred Pow
ers, of the extension division, who direct
ed the publicity work for the concert, ac
cording to Dean John J. Landsbury, of
the University school of music. “Powers
conducted the best publicity campaign
ever put on at the University,” said the
dean. "There is one discouraging fea
ture in the whole affair,” the dean con
tinued. "If such a publicity campaign
as the one Powers put on for this un
dertaking so thoroughly explained as the
symphony concert, does not bring the
whole support of the people, especially
of the women for whom the concert was
given, it would seem that there was little
to be looked forward to in that line
here.”
The Portland people who paid to hear
the orchestra here after hearing it so i
many times at home were commended for
their support. Many of them contributed ;
to make up the $1CHK> donated by thej
Portland people to make the concert pos
sible.

THE PUBLIC “I” >r
In his famous chapter on the “Self” in
his “Psychology” of the late Professor
Janies points out that everyone is made
up of a number of diverse egos. This
there is the self which we show to our
employers and superiors-; there is an
other for our intimate friends, and yet
another for our families. Among others
there is the self which we show to the
community—our public ego—which is
nothing more than our impressions of
the way that people in general regard
us.
Here in America, the public “I” has
assumed especially large proportions.
The newspapers, with their flaring head
lines, keep us in a continual worry of
excitement. We are rapidly becoming a
“front-page” nation, whose creed is “ft
pays to advertise” and whose existence
is bound up in the news of the hour. We
pass from thrill to thrill almost without
pause; and the greatest thrill of all is
to know that one’s name is in every news
paper and on every lip. Xo less than
eight people, for example, have con
fessed in turn to the murder of the
banker Elwell, and each in turn has
beeu proved a liar after a day or two
of dazzling front page existence. Is it
any wonder serious people advocate a
jail sentence for false confessions which
put the police to so much trouble for
nothing?
All this, however, is but a symptom of
a large disorder—the undue expression
of our public egos. While no two peo
ple will agree ns to just what consti
tutes “balanced” personality, all will ad
mit that the ver-emphasis of one or
more of our selves is dangerous. We,
as a nation, lay too much stress on
“what the public thinks” about us; we
indulge too freely our inherent propen
sity for being in the public eye. Un
fortunately, the cure is not so simple as
the diagnosis. Only the wide-spread re
cognition of the injurious effects of
too much “publicity” will result in proper
repressive measures. Consequently it
behooves each one of ns to curb his
public “1” to the utmost in the interests
of general sanity.—Harvard Crimson.

WANTED: ONE “SCANDAL.”
Editor: Heck and a flock of gollies!
We advertised a full-bodied scandal to
appear today; a real hairy-chested, pug
nosed scandal; one who wore a sixteen
collar, size forty-four shirt, and number
eleven shoes; the sort of ugly, brazen
featured creature that would raise .his
impudent head to the multitudes of this
fair institution and say in savage tones:
“Have a look you people. I’m the das
tardly demond what’s gonna just natur
ally raise hops with the peace of mind
of this school. I’m gonna harrow the
minds of the pure and altruistic. I’m
gonna furnish luscious tongue fodder for
the reformers to gleefully chew on. I’m
gonna make some of these candidates
think they’re the great little intriguers
regular Machiavellis and Borgias.” And
more of that sort. Now what happens?
Why, consarn, nobody has taken it upon
himself to furnish me with this afore
mentioned scandal. What’s this school
coming to, when everybody abides by the
rules? Ain’t there any gumption left
any more?
Of course several houses have arranged
to swing the election, according to their
own sweet will, and occasionally candi
dates park themselves on neighboring
house steps and try to look natural;
likewise, dictated by the alleged well
known political boss of said Bedlam bar
racks. However the inhabitants of this
same Racket palace deny the assumption,
allegation, and insinuation, in toto, not
only firmly, but completely, comprehen
sively, and torridly. (Yet I remember
an old adage of Omar’s, or Obak’s, to
tbe effect that Romance language could
be shouted as well as whispered. AYe
shall see, on this election day.)
At this point we wish to announce the
platform of O. Gosh Sakes, candidate
for editor of the Oregon Daily Disaster.
“If elected,” said Mr. Sakes, firmly.
“I'will strive to lead this school out of
the terrible rut it has slid-auto. Through
the editorial columns, which I shall at
tempt to make as cogent and trenchant
as possible, I shall state those insuper
able and ineluctable verities which make
for the purging of the constituent orga
nizations forming this great University.
I shall firmly point out those faculty
members who need reprimanding, and
shall not deviate an infinitesimal iota
from correcting the errors of the student
aody in general.”
AA'e feel after this clear, concise state
ment of principles, that Mr. Sakes ought
to receive the full support of the student
body. —E. ,T. H.
