Welcome Editors.
Welcome, Editors!
Today and for the life of this conference we extend to you the
keys to the campus. We want you to mingle with us and feel that
expression of democracy for which you have long heard of the Uni
versity of Oregon. We are not going to exploit our wares to you,
you who are in touch with the great local and national problems of
the day are already familiar with what we have to offer here.
The Emerald joins with the entire student body in extending to
you all a hearty welcome and a heartfelt wish that you may feel that
here is where you fit. Look us over, size us up and carry that back
with you as your impression of Oregon. Personal contact with the
Oregon student will give you your impression of our University; we
all know this.
You are the influential citizens in your communities, you are
the moulders of public opinion. We here are learning the principles
and practices which form the fabric of your lives. Let us hope that
out of this meeting will come mutual benefit to us all.
“My Dear Wells.”
And we too have our Mr. Wells, as a communication to the editor
today will testify. So in addressing our answer to our Wells we too
will use the well known phraseology “My Dear Wells.” Now, “My
Dear Wells,” The Emerald does not have any “warped conception of
honor,” on the other hand, it is a firm believer in the honor system.
But it contends that tin* honor system in the law school is unofficial so
long as it is not recognized by the associated students of the uni
versity or by the faculty of the university.
To repeat our closing sentence in the editoral in question, “Stu
dent government and the honor system go hand in hand.” There is
only one way in which the honor system can be successful and that
is when it is adopted by the entire University. The fault still lies
with the honor system in the law school in that it exists unofficially
and that students who enroll to take law know nothing of this hon
or system until an occurrence of this nature brings it forcibly be
fore them.
The Emerald realizes full well the fallacy of attempting an
honor system with a stringent set of rules. But with no rules what
ever laid down, there will be recurrences in which the parties ac
cused are unwittingly guilty.
Evolution of Mabel
A Serial In Three Tarts
By E. J. H.
Part Three
Chapter seven. Mabel a Senior. Ab
aolutely human amt delightful. Best
ever. There is no girl quite like her.
Education ’s the thing. See what it
has done for her. The greatness of
Higher Education can never be ade
quatelv sung, Mabel announces en
gagement. Friends register great sur
prise. Outside man. School paper an
nounces engagement, stating that the
gentleman “has a prominent position
in Bam orville, and is a leading citizen
of the town.” It is none other than
our friend the original trial horse whom
Mabel waved good bve to, ages ago. He
has risen fast in life and is now cm
ployed m oiling the ball bearings of
the large F irb. nk " igott s, ale in front
of the feed store. Quite touching
first love and all that sort of thing,
tlirl goes through high life of Univer
sity only to return to her lowly and
simple lover of yore. Chapter ends
with Mabel packing up to go home.
Author’s comment: this is the logi
cal end of the storv. But I am a real
ist. I demand the facts even to their
relentless end. So here goes.
Chapter eight They lived happilv
ever after after a fashion. Under her
inspiration the man rises to he dog
catcher of the town, and she is a so
cial leader. For a period they oc
cupy great preeminence. In the mem
orable controversy over the town pump.
—whether it should be built of con
crete or boards -they occupied a promi
nent position. It was due to her hus
band’s commanding personality that a
compromise was reached, and they
didn't build unv pump at all. Then
Mabel discovered her husband's sec
ret. sin one evening when he came home,
his breath smelling of Oxo-tone Bit
ters. In disgrace they moved out of
tlie town and sought a lowly dwelling
in a humble quarter of a great city,
where Mabel did plain needlework and
attempted to reform her man. Rut the
dog was no good had never had the
advantages of a University education,
and gradually sunk under his vice un
til he became a walking patent modi
cine vat. Mabel bore this bravely.
Her plucky fight for existence aroused
the admiration of the neighbors, who
ascribed it to the influence in her
younger life, of the Higher Learning
Her children inherited her great desire
for knowledge and she determined to
send them to-(deleted! to learn
agriculture. Her son in particular was
of the inquiring disposition. When
fixe years old he swallowed the brass
cap of the water faucet. This re
mained in his s\stein, influencing his
makeup considerably. All his com
rads commented on it. “Johnny cer
tainly has the brass ’’ At seven he

ISLANDERS AMUSED
BY VARSITY LEADER
Oski-wow-wow Vies With Ha wai-is;
Team Meets Former Oregon
Students in Honolulu
In the Honolulu “Advertiser” of De
cember “7, with all the sidelights of
the big game, is a little story of the
acrobatic feats of an “Oregon college
youth” while leading the yells during
the game with the University of Haw
aii on Christmas day.
This “youth” was George Bronaugh
who, with Dick Dickson, visited the
islands with the team. Bronaugh’s
“Ruth St. Denis” movements seemed
to afford much amusement to the Ts
landers and the "Osky-wow wows”
that bellowed forth from the Oregon
bench, which was filled completely wit1'
Oregonians and Oregon supporters, vied
with the “ITa-wai-is” that the natives
produced.
Quite a number of former Oregon
students are to be found in the islands
Among those specially interested in
the games were Mae Neill, ’16, and
Lura Jerard, ’18.

CORRESPONDENCE
HONOR SYSTEM UPHELD
Editor of the Emerald: In the issue
of the Emerald of January 11, 1922,
an editorial writer takes occasion to
express his disapprobation of the hon
or system in effect in the law school.
Being one of the inaugurators of the
system I cannot refrain from calling
attention to the fact that the writer
of the editorial has an erroneous con
ception of the system as it operates in
the law school or has himself a warped
conception of honor.
The writer says, in part, “And there
is a weak point in the law school sys
tem, in that, although adopted a year
ago, it affects whoever may register
i in the law school.” It is equally
plausible to say that the Constitution
of the United States is faulty, because
i though it was adopted long ago, it is
vet operative upon those who have since
taken up residence in this country; or
that the A. S. U. O. Constitution, adopt
ed prior to this year, is grossly unfair
in that it requires the payment of cer
tain fees by incoming students who
have not in writing consented thereto.
The law school should got—and does
not—want students who are so defic
ient in a sense of honor that they must
subscribe a written instrument, or take
an oath, before they can be trusted to
write an examination without espion
age. Honor is an inherent quality and
if a student does not possess it he can
not be made honorable by the inflic
tion of rules and regulations- Stu
dents who, under any circumstances,
will cheat themselves, their instructors
or their University, will cheat their
clients when they start the practice
of their profession, and the earlier they
are called to account the better for the
public at large.
No code has been prescribed in the
law school system, no rules or regula
tions have been laid down, no espion
age is required or asked; each student,
on entering the law school, carries with
him the presumption that he is a MAN.
The recent case of cheating was report
ed to the students by members of the
law faculty, and the law student body,
in a commendable fashion, dispensed
summary justice. There is every rea
son to believe that in the future cheat
ing. never prevalent in the law school,
will be unknown, or, if it does recur,
will be purely sporadic.
GORDON S. WELLS. ’21.
E. O. T. C. PRINCIPLE WRONG
To the Editor: Let ’s get rid of the
E. O. T. C. The fact that students
must drill during two years of their
allege life is wrong in principle. While
tho entire sentiment of this nation is
for disarmament, why should the young
men be taught any phases of arma
ment f
Again the R. O. T. C. is wrong in
practice. Of the four companies at
present drilling and spending four
hours each week in the presence of
military terms and atmosphere, there
are not over a dozen men who are ab
sorbing enough learning to enable them
to become second-class privates in
case of a war.
Countless editorials in countless
newspapers throughout the country ap
peal for less government waste. What
is more wasteful than the expense
borne by the government to maintain
Hie R. 6. T. C. here? The salary of a
colonel, major, captain, lieutenant, and
a couple or three sergeants here
amounts to considerable each year, not
to mention the expense of furnishing
outfits and laboratory material for the
suffering students themselves.
Ninety-five per cent of the students
who are forced to take drill do so only
because they are made to- They put
no spirit into their work: they make
no attempt to follow the droning of an
instructor in military classes; they un
learn what they have been forced to
’earn as rapidly as possible; not one
student cares what grade he makes in
military as long as he makes the re
quired hour and has thus completed
one term of the six required. The R.
O. T. C. is a farce and no one knows it
better than the members themselves.
Oregon would have a splendid op
portunity to make a name for itself
by being the first university to vol
untarily abolish compulsory drill. By
doing so we would be raising the
standards about ten notches because
students will have more time to study,
tl-ev will be able to care more about
their term grade averages, and the
horseplay feeling with which they suf
fer drill will be gone.
Military training has no place in Ore
gon. We come here for an education,
to (rain culture and to learn professions.
Whv make us into rotten mimics of
soldiers when we have no desire to
■ohber? If a war comes Oregon stu
'en's wi’l be first at the front as
t’’ev have been in the past. But let’s pre
■ ct war bv carrying the spirit of dis
armament into our University. T.et’s

SENIOR.
R O T. C. IS riMTELP
T,% the Editor: The writer perused
with much interest an editorial in the
1 f >r danearv T2, captioned “The
R. th T C a Nightmare", and quoting
“r Oalsw'rthv on “the foundations of
a ua-tle ;it S-am * * * * so that one
'red and fifty years porhaps from
"v. h-m-m b’fe mav roallv be dignified
»n ’ heset*ful “
I too love to buRd castles in Sixain
H-'sMcs ef Mr Oabworthv’s kind: and
-lall we sav of the editor’s k;nd an-’
V" l ere lovely to contemplate and |
t.' »vte s< agreeable as the stuff o' !
V*'h,»> r n-s and mirages are made
I Mr. Galsworthy, however, has the good
.judgement which I do not always have,
and which I perceive you yourself do
not have, to postdate his castle “one
hundred and fifty years perhaps.-’
There is one place in the United States
in which castles in Spain are not exactly
in order. That is the War Department
Whatever the secretary of war and the
secretary of the navy, and whatever the
secretary of state and the president,
and whatever congress, may think about
Mr. Galsworthy's year 2072, it is a re
sponsibility put up on them by the Ameri
can people not to think it too seriously
I about 1922. However sure we may be
l of ourselves, how sure can we be of the
hundreds of millions across the seas;
j and shall we lay down all of our arms
at once when they do not lay down all
of theirs at once?
Therefore the country maintains an
agency for its defense. This agency is not
permitted by congress and by popular
sentiment to maintain a large standing
army; nor is it the policy of congress
nor of the American people to create
numerous military schools of profession
al character to train an officer class.
Instead we rely upon a much less form
al type of preparedness—much more dem
ocratic, much less expensive, than any
thing which seems a possible substitute
for the present system—and a part of
this scheme of preparedness is the R. O.
T. C.
Virtually as a part of the great limi
tation of armaments program, cf which
the Emerald of course approves heartily,
is the system of what are known as the
Organized Reserves. The United States
is divided into several areas in each of
which are located various reserve units.
It is the plan of the United States gov
ernment to train the future educated
class to officer these reserve units. By
taking advantage of the established
academic universities and colleges, the
government aims to maintain at a com
paratively small expense what is it
: sincerely hoped will be an adequate
I defense force.
Hence the R. O. T. C. ’s. In the
United States there more than 100,000
| students in these reserve officers’
: training corps. Sometimes it comes
hard on an individual to serve; but
the defense of the country, upon the
necessity of which we doubtless agree,
is hard at all times- One does not see
how the University of Oregon can
step out from the ranks and refuse to
hold up the government’s hands. I
am sure President Campbell does not
see how.

BARRACKS ARE IMPROVED
R. O. T- C. to Practice Signalling and
I Codes With New Buzzer System
A buzzer system has been installed
in the R. O. T. C. barracks for prac
tice in international signalling and tele
graphic codes. Other improvements
and additions have also been made to
the equipment used by the sophomore
classes in the military course.
The laboratory and map room have
been painted. Specimens of the sol
dier’s equipment have been taken
down and hung on the wall in glass cases,
with each individual part conspicu
ously labeled. Machine guns and au
tomatic rifles will also be on exhibi
tion there. Sand tables have been pro
vided for topographical map-work. A
large sectional map occupies one corner
of the room.
The target range has been over
hauled and movable pulley targets in
stalled. Work on the range is compul
sory this term.
FRATERNITY GRADES LEAD
Women Average Higher Than Men in
Scholarship at Whitman
Whitman College, Walla Walla, Jan.
12.—(P. I. N. S.)—-Fraternity men and
women averaged higher in their grades
at Whitman last quarter than did non
fraternity students, according to the
registrar’s report, 78.87 and 78.30 be
ing the respective averages. The
Greeks were also above the college
average, 78-75, while the women as us
ual did better work than the men,
averaging four points higher.
Beta Theta Pi and Kappa Kappa
Gamma headed the fraternities and
sororities, and Phi Delta Theta and
Delta Gamma ranked next.
DOUGLASS TO GIVE REPORT
Conducts Investigation for National
Teachers Association
Professor H. R. Douglas, of the school
of education, has been requested to
make a study for publication of cer
tain phases of practice teaching in the
various universities and colleges of the
country which arc training high school
teachers. The report is to be presented
at a convention of the National Asso
ciation of Directors of Supervised
Teaching to be held at Chicago in Feb
ruary. Professor Douglas expects to
send out questionnaires to about one
hundred leading schools and from the
information received compile statistics
in regard to the results, noting any new
and novel changes in methods and rec
ommendations submitted in regard to
practice training.
NEW STUDENTS TOTAL 152
Enrollment for Winter Term to Equal
That of Fall, Says Registrar
According to figures given out at the
registrar’s office, 152 new students are
registered this term, that is, students
who were not on the campus last term.
More applications for admission are
being received every day.
The final count of this quarter’s
registration has not yet been completed
but it is estimated in the registrar’s
office that it will most probably equal
that of last term.
