Raymond Lawrence Finds Campus i
Daily Compares Favorably With j
Other College Publications of
Country.
ANNUAL JUDGED
Oregana Does Not Show Up As Well
As Paper; Lemmy Classes Up in
Art Work But Not in Material.
(Editor’s Note: Mr. Lawrence
was the delegate from the local
chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, men's
honorary journalism fraternity, to
the national convention of the fra
ternity, held recently at Ames,
Iowa. Samples of all the college
publications throughout the United
States were on exhibit there and a
careful analysis of them was made
by him, with the results noted in
his article here.)
By RAYMOND LAWRENCE
It is gratifying indeed to realize that
a school of journalism with 145 majors
can put out a daily newspaper that
compares unusually well with publi
cations issued in the greatest insti
tutions of the land- The writer made
a diligent comparison of the Univer
sity of Oregon publications with those
of other institutions, including every
school of journalism of any conse
quence in the United States.
Utmost discretion, and effort not to
over-exaggerate the undeniable merit
of The Emerald was exercised. Its
dignity, well written news, powerful
influence in student affairs, and the
comprehensive manner in which it
covers university news, is almost self
evident when compared with papers of
schools approximately the same size
as Oregon. Further, when one analyzes
the publications of the three largest
schools of journalism in the United
States, The Emerald does not suffer.
Its vitality seems to be noteworthy,
based upon several factors. The fact
that The Emerald is read by everyone
as all the students subscribe to it, is
of distinct value and contributes great
ly to its potency and prestige. The
merchants of Eugene regard The Emer
ald as a good advertising medium and
heartily support it. Then too, the news
of The Emerald betrays a liveliness
and vivacity which is not common.
Generally speaking, the news is well
written, although not without faults,
and the paper is not afraid to run long
articles which deal with some important
subject comprehensively and interest
ingly. However, one finds that some
college papers devote well spent space
to popular literary subjects, which is
one of the ways which The Emerald
does not compare favorably. A college
newspaper should reflect some of the
scholastic atmosphere and sulture life
of its institution, and not overempha
size the sporting news.
- J- -
I think it would be a sound and
rational judgment to say that there
are probably only three papers in the
"United States which in any way sur
pass The Emerald, and those do not do
so in all departments- Further, a vast
majority of the papers are decidedly
inferior. No doubt the students here
little realize the high standards which
The Emerald has maintained for the
past two years. There are many uni
versities with an enrollment of 4000
or more which do not have dailies.
Most of the success of the Emerald
is due no doubt to the excellence of the
University school of journalism. In
the number and quality of courses, the
number of majors, and size and equip
ment of the laboratory, the school of
journalism rates much higher than
those of schools with student bodies as
high as nine and ten thousand. It is
indeed surprising how well it compares
with the schools which one hears men
tioned with respect and almost rever
ence. All that Oregon lacks to be
classed among the first two or three
is recognition, which, no doubt, will
come with time. When the large
Eastern schools, training four and five
times as many students as Oregon,
awake to the fact that out here on
the coast is a small university offer

STUDENTS TO VOTE
UPON AMENDMENT
TO CONSTITUTION
Admission Charge for Minor
Sports Contests to be
Decided Next Week
FUNDS NOT SUFFICIENT
Intensive Program in Boxing,
Wrestling, Tennis and
Soccer This Year
The Amendment to the associated
student body constitution giving the
executive council the right to author
ize a small admission charge for minor
sports contests is to be submitted to
the student voters next Tuesday, Jan
uary 17, at Villard- It is absolutely
essential that favorable action be taken
on this measure if the minor sports
program for this year is to be carried
out.
According to the student body of
ficials, the budget for these sports has
been sliced from $1320 to $750, and this
amount is not sufficient to see the
schedule contests put through.
Sports affected by this measure will
be boxing, wrestling, swimming, soccer,
and tennis. A wrestling and boxing
smoker has been arranged with O. A.
C., and soccer games are planned with
Stanford, O. A. C., Multnomah, and
other coast teams. It will be impos
sible to hold these contests unless some
means of providing funds is adopted,
and the admission fee is recommended
as the best solution, by Lyle Barthol
omew, president of the associated stu
dents, Helen Carson, secretary, and
other prominent members of the stu
dent body.
The constitution provides that a ma
jority of 300 votes cast must be in fa
vor of the measure in order that it
may be passed
The amendment is as follows:
Amendment to Article X, finance,
section I, dues, paragraph one, of the
Constitution of the Associated Stu
dents, to read as follows:
The dues of the individual members
of the Association shall be twelve dol
lars per year; payable four dollars at
the beginning of eaeTT term upon pay
ment of which they shall be entitled to
a “Student Season Ticket” admitting
them to all University games or con
tests as the Executive Council may
order, provided that at the discretion
of the Executive Council, a nominal fee
may be charged for Minor Sport com
petitions.

JOURNALISTS WILL FROLIC

List for Saturday Lottery Ready
• • •
VISITING EDITORS INVITED
No returns on the journalism lottery
had been received up to the time of
going to press this morning. Curly
Lawrence, who is in charge of the
“squarest lottery” ever held for the
drawing of partners for the Journalism
Jamboree, guarantees that no one will
have a choice of partners and that the
Taffle will be conducted with sleeves
rolled up, so to speak. However, it is
rumored that many promising news
paper men were seen conversing in a
suspicious manner with him last night
and that the clink of money was heard
The big time will be held in the
men’s gym on Saturday, January 14.
There will be dancing, swapping of
scandal, doughnuts and cider, and
everything else that makes up a real
time. Just what the features will be
could not be learned from the com
mittee, so they must be good.
The Hammer, the annual publica
tion issued at this affair, will make its
appearance, reeking with scandal. Li
bel charges will be cast to the winds,
no one present will be spared from the
frightful grip of publicity- The event
will be restricted to members of the
Fmerald staff and journalism majors.
No white collars will be permitted
within the gym. Editors who are at
tending the state convention have been
ir.v.ted to attend th» -pmboree.
Tr. the meantime the question of who
takes who will remain as much a sec
ret as a presidential nomination.
SOCIAL PAN-HELLENIC
READMITS GAMMA PHI
Former Action Based on Insufficient
Knowledge of Rules; Penalty
Is Imposed
Gamma Phi Beta was readmitted to
membership iu the local Pan-Hellenie
at a meeting yesterday afternoon of
the active and alunmae Pan Hellenic
councils, on the finding that the action
last term of the local council, in ex
pelling Gamma Phi Beta, had been
taken through a misunderstanding of
the power of the local council.
The National Pan Hellenic council
has imposed a penalty on the local
chapter of Gamma Phi Beta prohibiting
their pledging until one week after the
pledge day of the fall term, 1922. This
has already gone into effect.
Much of the trouble during the past
term, over the Gamma Phi Beta ques
tion, was caused by a lack of knowledge
of the rules governing such things,
and these questions have all been set
tled by the National Pan Hellenic.

High Point Man; Press Reports
Laud Andre
Oregon’s basketball quintet went
down to defeat at the hands of Mult
nomah club 40-33 in the game played
on the winged M floor Saturday night.
The clubmen, with a patched up per
sonnel due to ineligibility of several
players, gained a lead early in the game
and held it throughout.
In the second half the college' men
staged a rally that came within a
single point of tying the lead but Mult
nomah shortly pulled away with seve
ral field goals.
Several former Oregon students were
in .he club lineup and gave a good ac
count of themselves. Gus Clerin, for
mer Whitman star, was the shining
light for Multnomah, scoring nine
field goals and annexing four fouls for
a total of 22 points.
For Oregon, Latham was the high
point man with 10 points, while Don
Zimmerman at center was right behind
him with nine. Rol Andre broke into
the game long enough to annex four
field goals and to be characterized by
press reports as the “flashiest” player
on the Oregon team.

MEN CONVICTED OF
CHEATING IN EXAMS
LEAVE UNIVERSITY
Student Body of Law School
Holds Seven Hour Session
For Two Members
SYSTEM PROVES EFFECTIVE
Dean Hale Commends Action
in Trial and Decision
by Committee
The honor system, for the first time
as a positive thing, came into the life
of the University of Oregon yesterday
when two students in the law school
left the University following their con
viction yesterday morning by the stu
dent body of the law school, acting on
recommendations of a student com
mittee, on a charge of cheating in term
examinations. The names of both men
are withheld for obvious reasons
Nascent student government, the
honor system—either definition per
haps fits the case in which majors in
the law school where the honor theory
has been existant since the first term
of 1920-21 organized to make of this
theory a reality and created the ma
chinery to deal with the two offenders.
The findings of the preliminary com
mittee, arrived at after a soven-hour
session at which testimony was given
by students and professors to prove
that information had passed betwoen
the two men in the examinations and in
previous cases, were, “We recommend
that the men be given to understand
that the guilt of both was apparent be
vond a reasonable doubt. Ono of
fender appeared before the meeting
yesterday morning to protest his in
nocence as in the committee hearing.
The other, from whom an admission had
been secured, did not appear. Members
of the committee, all majors in law,
were: Sylvester Burleigh, chairman;
Maurice Eben, Earl Conrad, Arthur
Rosebraugh, and Borden Wood, acting
president of the law school organiza
tion.
First action in the case was taken
when Dean William G. Hale, himself an
ardent believer in the honor system,
made known his intention to leave the
matter entirely to the students in the
school, numbering perhaps 60 in all.
The committee was immediately ap
pointed following an hour and a half
session; the matter investigated fully
as described; and a culmination reached
yesterday when the recommendation
was accepted by a substantial majority,
not, however, without vigorous argu
ment over enforcement methods in
such an “honor system.” Certain stu
dents held the view that methods rep
resented in the recommendation, pre
sented unanimously by the committee,
amounted to practical student govern
ment which many do not favor under
present conditions. The distinction be
tween moral suasion and positive ac
tion was found to be but slight.
Bean Hale declared yesterday in com
menting on the action, “The honor sys
tem is worth all the time, effort, and
heartache, even, that wo may be obliged
to put in it to bring about its full
establishment- I have been gratified
in the extreme by the way in which the
law school student body has accepted
and measured up to its responsibility.
Tt is proof, positive that the honor sys
tem has come to stay.”

between the steps taken by the law

QUESTIONS OF FUTURE TO BE
ANSWERED IN NEXT ISSUE
“Inevitable Number” to Appear Feb.
1; Material Must be in by Jan.
20; Boxes in Library and Chack
The world's most brain fatiguing
problem of today is not limitations of
armaments or how the 1925 fair will
be held. Today’s most difficult prob
lem is a playmate of the Einstein the
ory and has warped just as many
brains. It's trying to find an answer
to the question mark “What Next!”
Lemmy contends that more grey hairs
have been gained and {lulled out over
this question than any other yet. ad
vanced by history. Short pants for
men, pipes and cigars for women,
travelling armchairs for poodles—
what next!
Lemmy, in his first issue for the
new year will take upon himself the
responsibility of gazing into tho fu
ture. The findings will be called the
“Inevitable Number” and it will make
its appearance about February 1. Ar
tists who wish to contribute to this
issue must have all work in not later
than Monday evening, January 10. Ma
terial upon which to work may be ob
tained from Ray Bothers or Owen Cal
laway at the Punch office or by call
ing at the Punch office any day be
tween 5 and 6 p. m.
Humorous literary material will bo
received until January 20 and will

VESTMENTS ARE POSSIBLE
Money for Choir Not Sufficient to War
rant Purchase at This Time
Vestments for the University choir
are still n probability although so far
sufficient money has not been secured,
use of the addition to tho library fur
the collection taken at the Christmas
vesper service and it is planned to
continue tho practice of having an of
fering at each Vesper service until tho
required amount is raised
To secure the desired type of vest
ment a rather large expenditure will bo
necessary as it is not doomed wise
to get anything that will not be of good
quality and of a permenant nature.
It is planned to have a distinctive
vestment for the University Vesper
choir, consisting of the recognized
academic black gown, only the ladies
wearing the caps. An individual note
will be given by a yoke of emerald
green in each gown. As fifty vest
ments will be needed for the choir it
will probably be some time before suf
ficient money is secured to purchase
them, unless some other plan of rais
ing money is found.
MANY ALUMNI TEACHING
Nearly Forty Per Cent in State Are
Graduates of This University
Twenty-five to forty per cent of the
teachers in Oregon are graduates of tho
University, according to an estimate
made by Dr. II. D. Sheldon, dean of
the school of education. One half of
the teachers in first class districts,
superintendents, ami high school prin
ciples, and .'100 high school teachers
are either alumni or have attended the
University at some time.
The school of education graduates
from 40 to 70 teachers a year. Fewer
than one-third of the women remain in
the profession for any length of time and
about half of the men take up other
lines of work, so that for the last
three or four years the supply and
demand have been practically even.
During the war there was a falling
off in the number engaged in the pro
fession, but at present there is a rapid
movement toward teaching. The en
rollment in the school of education is
double that of two years ago, due to
a larger student body and the increased
salaries paid to teachers.
EMERALD STAFF MEETING
The members of the news staff
of the Emerald will meet this after
noon at 5 o’clock in the Journalism
shack. New members expected to be
present.
By KP HOYT
It was too Rich!
Sid Rich, Whitman basketball star,
with the aid of four other Missionaries
proved too many for the Lemon-Yellow
basketeers in the opening game of the
conference season played in the armory
last night and walked off with the
long end of a 31-22 score.
Nig Borlesko’8 proteges with two
crashing defeats at the hands of the
Oregon Aggies last week came back
strong and took the lead from the var
sity toward the end of the first canto
and wore never turned thereafter.
Rich, right forward for the visitors,
was the outstanding star of the game
with six goals from tho field and five
converted throws to his credit, Gurian,
Rich’s running mate was runner up
with four baskets.
Oregon Starts Strong
Oregon started strong, and with field
goals and free throws by Andre, Zim
merman and Beller soon had a sub
stantial lead. Then Rich started slip
ping them in from all angles and the
gun closed the first half with Whitman
on the long end of a 13-11 count- With
the second half Bohler switched his
line-up, sending in Altstock for Andre,
Latham for Rockhey, Couch for Bur
nett and Rdlunds for Boiler and leav
only Don Zimmerman at center of tho
initial lineup.
The now combination proved inef
fective after staging a rally in which
l'ldlunds and Altstock annexed a couple
of difficult shots, and Boiler and Rol
Andre wore sent back into the fray.
Whitman made but one substitution
during the game, Gurian for Sohns at
left forward, Gurian annexing eight
points from the field during the final
period.
Varsity Teamwork Poor
Lack of team work and ineffectual
passing in thoir own territory proved
disastorous for the Lemon-Yellow. This
weakness is accounted for largely by
the short time tho men have worked
together. Franz Boiler, two-year let
ter man at guard, was the outstanding
star for the varsity. He scored two
goals and was instrumental in break
ing up the Missionaries’ plays. Don
Zimmerman, who looks like a regular
this year, played a nice game through
out.
Rol Andre, playing his first con
ference game for the varsity, has all
tho ear marks of a comer and with
a little more seasoning should devolop
into a real star. Marc Latham, letter
man, at forward was closely guarded
1 by tho Whitman defenso but put up a
good game while he was in.
Show Strong on Defense
In fact the work of both teams was
far bettor on the defense than the of
fense and many long shots were re
sorted to- The teams play again to
night in the closing game of the series.
The line-up:
Oregon (22) Whitman (31)

Rockhey.F. Sohns, 2
