NICHOLS’ LETTER. >, (Graduate Manager Lute Nichols, of California, wrote a Vgry entertaining letter explaining California’s reasons and .alibis for not senlding a team to the coast conference track meet to be held here Junior Week-end. The substance of: the.com mtinioation, which appeared in yesterday’s Emerald, indicates -tWt California is willing to co-operate and participate in coast athletics so long as it doesn’t interfere with their plans else where. “I feel that the criticism wliach has come from the Ore gon papers, as well as many of the other northern papers, is entirely unmerited, as there is no institution in the conference Which' the the welfare of the Pacific Coast Conference more at heart than the University of California,” was the concluding .Statement made by Mr. Nichols. Naturally, no one likes to be criticised. If Oregon were .criticized, we should promptly jump in and defend the institu tion whidh we love and work for. But it is rather a broad Statement to say that no institution in the conference lias the welfare of the coast conference more at heart than California. *V i We frankly admit that Mr. Nichols presents a good case. $bt we still feel that California and Stanford were under moral Obligations to send their team to the conference meet this year, since four northern institutions sent teams to the conference niect at Palo Alto last year, at a time when those teams were ijpi poor condition for the stiff competition of tthe southern schools. j California won the coast championship in football, basket ball and rowing. But as the coast conference track meet will be heM here with no entry from California, that institution ognnot claim the coast championship in track. One of the four northern institutions will win that honor. The most encouraging part of Mr. Nichols’ letter is the par bjftaph which reads: “I realize that this situation is very Unfortunate and assure you that experience is the best teacher ^nd that any recurrence of such a situation will be avoided in the future.” , We feel safe in saying that the election campaign this year has been the cleanest in years. There were no clouded issues, tery little “inudslinging,” and no “crooked fighting.” We feel safe in predicting that the best candidate will win today. And we also wish to reiterate our theory advanced early in the campaign to the effect that most of this talk about “dirty” politics was “bunk.” Y. W. TO GATHER OLD CLOTHES FOR EUROPE Students In Central Countries Need Gar ments; Oregon Asked to Supply Quota. Old. woruout clothes do not mean very witch to the girls at the I'Diversity of Oregon, but they do mean a great deal to the students in the European coun tries, according to a letter received by Miss Dinsdnle from the student commit tee of the New York Y. \Y. (.'. A. Stu dents In Central Europe are suffering from the lack of sufficient clothing ami Jin appeal is being made to the girls in American universities for contributions The social service committee of (lie lo^-al association, Sn charge pf l.eah Kink, will canvass for clothes here. One gptl in each organization will be appoint ed to gather up the old clothes;. Girls Who are uot living in any group are asked to leave contributions at the bun galow. The girls should very carefully inspect each garment from the point of view of the girl who is to wear it. Any which are soiled or are too "flossy” or in a state of disintegration would he of no use to a busy student in the cold damp ness of Central Europe. If directed these clothes will be sent to special parts of Europe. The earning power of the students is pitiably small. In some countries stu dents are not permitted to bo wage-' earners and even when they so desire there are no jobs available. “MEXICAN CARUSO” IS HEARD “What! a new Caruso?” Such was the query that greeted Robert V. Ilainswortb organist of the Res when, during his reg ular morning practice, an astonishingly tenor voice was heard echoing through the offices over the theatre lobby, and those engaged with the theatrical toils of the day, dropped everything and rushed to the front of the auditorium to deter mine the source of such melodious vo ciferation. Mr. Hainsworth had little dif ficulty in explaining, merely nodding to a short but well developed figure upon the stage and the concert began anew. Senor Roberto Aranda, "Mexican Ca ruso.” as he is better known in the sunny south, proved to be the gentleman in ac tion and the reason for his serenade was but a call of the soul. Having passed the Rex he had heard the strains of the mighty Wurlitzor, and with inborn musi cal temperament common to his country music. So pleasingly surprised were those men. Aranda made his way into the dark ened theatre, down to the console of the Wurlitzor and there, in broken English, pleaded that he might he, privileged to sing with such "wonderfully beautiful” who heard that an engagement of Wed nesday and Thursday was secured for Senor Roberto and Res patrons on these days will be favored with the oppor tunity to hear the senor render such well known elassincs as Yrndier's famous Spanish air, “T.a Palonia” (The Dovel. which he sings in his native tongue, and the Italian favorite. “O Sole Mio” in which the Mexican Caruso should reach the very heart of his listeners. •*-■* Announcements +--—--* Phi Delta Kappa.—There will be a meeting of Phi Delta Kappa, Thursday evening, May 12, at the home of Dr. C.

Phi Delta Kappa to Discuss Libert] of Teachers; Faculty and Students to Speak. Democracy in the high school from tin standpoint of the teacher is the genera topic to be discussed by Phi Delta Kappa men’s honorary educational fraternity, a the homo of Dr. C. A. Oregory, this even lug, at 7:30. It is alleged that teacher! in tin1 secondary schools do not have the requisite freedom to inculcate in their students those principles of progessiv isin and liberal tendencies which are ab solutely necessary if our democratic form of government is to function properly. The question of the liberty of the teachers will be taken up, and the nature of the subjects to be taught, which have a bearing on present day problems \yill be discussed. Other questions to be taken up, and possibly answered by the students of education are: What should be the attitude of the school toward all the radical doctrines which are besetting the present generation? Should they be ignored, and only the well-authenticated facts of history be taught? Should these doctrines be condemned when they are discussed in school, or should they be presented fairly and squarely and the student left to judge for himself? Should a man who is known to be a Socialist be allowed to teach in the state high schools? Preceding the general discussion, the following talks will be given by members of, the organization: “What is Democ racy?” Dr. H. D. Sheldon; “The Teacher and the State,” Professor Kimball Young; “Radicalism in the High School,” Verne Blue; “Place of Religion in the High School,” Newton Bader; “Should High School Teachers Have ‘Academic Freedom’?” John Almack; What is 100 Per Cent Americanism?” Leo Cossman. DR. TAYLOR TO ADDRESS Y. W. Dr. Graham Taylor will talk at the regular Y. W. C. A. meeting this after noon at 5:15, on “Making Your Occupa tion Your Calling.” Anyone interested in social service work can have an ap pointment with Mr. Taylor on Thursday afternoon between 4 and 5. by calling the bungalow or the Y.
