The Pitfalls Dead Ahead
The meeting of the Pacific Coast Conference manager’s asssoci
ation in Seattle this week calls to mind an important duty of the
conference which has apparently been grossly ignored heretofore.
Oregon has sent representatives to these conference gatherings year
after year and sometimes semi-annually, and these representatives to
gether with the representatives of other member institutions have
worked out regulations for intercollegiate competition, going even
so far in some instances as to draw up rules which have afterwards
proved detrimental.
Chief among the incongruities which have been noted among the
regulations is the one which abolished the intersectional or state
wide interscholastic competitive meets, held under the auspices of
member colleges and universities. The gathering at Seattle this
week cannot reconsider any rules of the conference, but the managers
and coaches present at that meeting can, if they so desire, take cog
nizance of the fact that lucrative positions in the vicinities of colleges
and universities arc being offered to prep school athletes who are
showing promise. This is clearly an act which will prove of the great
est detriment to clean collegiate athletics in the end.
During the past year, there have been a number of exposes of this
same practice in Eastern institutions. There it has undoubtedly been
carried on to a much larger extent and more boldly than here on the
Pacific Coast, but there is an unmistakable trend in the direction of
commercializing athletics even here, which if not corrected soon will
lead into that very thing which will throw collegiate athetics into
discredit.
Whether this practice is being carried on under the guise of alumni
activities, or whether it is sponsored by the coaches and managers
through the aid of business men in the adjoining cities, is of little
importance so far as the conference is concerned. It is the business of
the Conference to investigate the situation at once and to suggest
a remedy. In other words, someone must come clean and lay the
cards on the table. If the conference cannot combat this, the great
est evil which has ever been introduced into collegiate athletics, then
its real purpose further than an annual gathering to draw up sche
dules might well be questioned and is open to criticism.
Oregon has suffered athletic reversals this past few months which
have been anything but encouraging to the friends of the University.
The reasons for these reversals are obvious, there is no complaint
about the coaching systems in these teams, the material is not avail
able. The fact that there is only one member of the track team this
spring who was an athlete before he entered the University is self
explanato ry.
Hut where do they go'/ Oregon offers one of the most highly
specialized courses in athletic training and development of any in
stitution iu the west. And surely Oregon offers the advantages of a
higher education which no institution in the west can surpass. Yet
every year, Oregon loses a score of prep school athletes simply because
the reward of lucrative positions is not held up an an incentive for
tin1 assurance of their attendance here.
The meeting of managers and coaches of the members of the Paci
fic (Joast Conference at Seattle would perform a real service to inter
collegiate athletics if they would come clean on this all important
subject and give less time to bickering over schedules. The future
of college athletics was made rather insecure during the past season
by the exposures at Purdue, Illinois, and other institutions. The Pa
cific Coast institutions cannot longer afford to purposely overlook
the pitfalls which are dead ahead.
We Leave It to You
President Campbell's statement is today’s Emerald in regard to
the It. O. T. C. question ns raised by The Emerald early in the winter
term (jives assurance that the matter has not been lost sight of and
that the administration is living up to its promise to present the mat
ter in full detail to the board of regents.
With an understanding of the meaning of expediency in mind and
an understanding also of the prevalent attitude as to national needs
The Emerad reaffirms as it has done several times, its objections to
the It. O. T. C. at this institution. Its attitude is contained in an edi
torial run Jan. 13 in which an article by John Galsworthy on "Cas
tles in Spain" served as a background. The Emerald said in part at
that time:
"The It. O. T. C. has no place in a castle in Spain, it has no place
in university life where if castles are ever to be built—their founda
tions surely must be laid. It is a part of the sensible and practical
and business-like and unemotional--a part of all the rot which was
to have been burned out of civilization by the fires of the war. But
it wasn t burned away. The fire meant for it has seemingly seared
those other qualities in American life which bowed to the war be
cause the war was to mean the beginning of the end of brutality.
A foster brother of liberal eduration, born of the union of Ameri
ca's colleges and that strange bed-iuate, ‘war time necessity,’ the
R. (>. T. C.. the principle behind it, has outworn usefulness. Only
taken in here at Oregon because of the stress of those war days and
only made a requirement for graduation without regular faculty ac
tion it seems now to have fastened on. to have moved in to stay. Why ?
Losing battles have been fought before. The Emerald does not
fear them but it does hope that the Board of Regents at their meeting
in June will see the issue on which it has pounded away. The Emer
ald relies, and wholly, upon the Administration.

OFFICERS FOR SENIOR
CLASS ARE NOMINATED
Hal Simpson Only Candidate Up for
Presidency; Class Picnic
Tuesday, May 30
Hal Simpson was the only candidate
nominated for next year’s senior class
president at a meeting of the junior
class held in Villard hall yesterday
afternoon. Imogone Letcher and Le
ona Gregory were nominated for the
office of vice-president. For secretary
Margaret Scott and Helen Clarke will
bo on the ballot. Ivan McKinney will
be unopposed for class treasurer, while
George Gochnour is alone in the field
for sergeant-at-arms.
Considerable discussion was carried
on at the meeting about the annual
class picnic which is to be held Tues
day, May 30, Memorial Day. The .Em
erald for Tuesday announced, through
an error, that the picnic was to be
Saturday. Tommy Wyatt wishes it
clearly understood that Tuesday, May
30, is the date.
Through arrangements made with the
Southern Pacific company a guarantee
that 250 students will make the trip
must be made in order to hold down
the price. If this number can go, the
cost for each student will not exceed
$1.75 for the round trip, says Wyatt.
All members of the class are urged to
phone Tommy Wyatt and let him know
if they intend to go on the trip, so he
can know just how many to count on.
The train will leave the Southern
Pacific station at 8:30 Tuesday morn
ing and will return at about 9:30 in
the evening. Lookout station, about
40 miles up the Willamette, which is
about one mile from Oak Ridge, is the
place chosen for the picnic.
It was not definitely decided at the
meeting whether dates would be al
lowed.
CAMPAIGN FOR R. 0. T. C.

are maintained at the expense of the
' government.
Talks were made yesterday morning
by officers in the military department
to students of the R. O. T, C. Major
Baird has been promised the support of
several prominent business men of Eu

Major Baird is especially pleased with
the support promised by the men of Eu
gene, saying that everyone of them has
approved of the camps. Each one is
campaigning individually.
The citizen’s military training camps
are to develop a nucleus for the organ
ized reserves and are a part of the na
tional war policy. This year congress,
has appropriated enough money to pro
vide for 27,000 young men to attend,
which is an increase of 17,000 over last
year’s number.
The camp at American Lake lasts
from July 27 to August 25 and courses
are given in the fundamentals of infan
try, cavalry, artillery, engineering, sig
nal corps and air service. Athletics,
personal hygeine, special physical train

newsprint and 200 pounds of ink were
required to issue the paper for the
year. He further states that about
2100 copies are being issued each dav.
Therefore during the school year 340,
500 copies of the Emerald passed into
the hands of its readers.
The Emerald, which measures two
feet by one foot and 22 inches, contains
about 4.6 square feet of paper. The
145 numbers or 304,500 copies of the
Emerald issued this year if placed side

MISS COLLIER RETURNS
FROM CONVENTION TRIP:
Students Discuss Problems
with Great Freedom
A spirit of interdenominational co
operation among ^1 Christian agencies,
dominated the Y. W. C. A. national bi
ennial convention held April 20-27 at
Hot Springs, Arkansas, according to
Miss Dorothy Collier, campus Y. W.
secretary, who, together with Glyde
Scheubel, represented the University at
the conference. Miss Collier, during a
sojourn of more than a month, attended
four national conventions in all, and
has just returned to the campus.
Approximately 1,900 women attend
ed the national biennial conference at
Hot Springs, said Miss Collier. Four
hundred of these were students who
met daily in a student assembly and
discussed their own particular prob
lems. This is the first time, according
to Miss Collier, that the students’ de
partment has been given such freedom
in deciding its own policies, and as a
result, a system of representative gov
ernment for student associations ha*|
been inaugurated.
A representative from the Northwest:
field, including student associations of
Washington, Oregon and Idaho, will be!
elected by the undergraduate student
representative body which meets this
summer at Seabeck, Washington, to go
back to New York at least once a year
to take part in directing student work.
This new system is said to be a great
improvement over the old system of!
non-representation.
The entire spirit of the conference
was heightened and electrified by the
presence of Miss Maude Eoyden, pre
eminent woman minister in England,
Miss Collier stated. In England, Miss
Royden has been considered the cham
pion of the industrial classes, but at
the conference at Hot Springs she
spoke in behalf of all classes, Miss
Collier pointed out.
The greatest contribution to civiliza
tion that America can give at the
present time is the spiritual gift of
love, Miss Eoyden told the delegates,
explaining that it is not through con
quest or great wealth that a nation is
remembered, but rather through its
service to the world. Eesponsibility
for this program rests upon the women
of the nation, Miss Eoyden made clear,
for the reason that they really under
stand the meaning of service.
After the first conference had ad
journed, Miss Collier stayed on at Hot
Springs for a convention comprising
the Council of Employed Officers of
the Y. W. C. A. and a national student
staff conference. From Hot Springs
Miss Collier went to Chicago where
she attended a conference of college
women called by the woman’s board of
the Presbyterian church. She returned
to Oregon via the Southern route, stop
ping off for a few days at St. Louis,
Kansas City, and the Grand Canyon.
1922 YEAR BOOK LIKED
BY STATE HIGH SCHOOLS
Principals Send in Favorable Comments
for This Year’s Oregana;
150 Mailed
Personal remarks on the merits of
the new Oregana were added to some
of the return postal cards which the
University recently sent out with the
150 annuals distributed among the high
schools of the state. Acknowledg
ments of the receipt of the books are
beginning to come to the registrar’s
office from the high school principals.
“Thanks. The book is certainly fine
this year,” writes E. H. Hendricks,
principal of the Central Point high
school.
“An excellent publication. Thanks,”
comes from John A. Dopp, of Forest
Grove high school.
Similar appreciative comments have
already been received from the prin
cipals at Marshfield, North Bend,
Madras, Monroe, and Veronia Union.
WARM WEATHER BRINGS
VARIETY OF FLOWERS
Ax alia Molls, Lilacs, Duetsla, Among
Flowers Whose Blossoms Are
Perfuming Campus
Many of the most beautiful and rare
plants on the campus are now in blos
som, according to the campus garden
ers. The cold, damp spring weather
has retarded the growth of the plants
but, since the weather has warmed up.
blossoms are coming forth in great
abundance.
Bordering the walk leading from the
library to Deady hall the Azalia Molis,
the lilacs, and the Deutzia, at present
are in full blossom and perfume the air
with their delicate odors. The Azalia
Molis is a rare plant from stock im
ported from Belgium. One of the
plants gives forth a large pink flower
of rare shade which in appearance re
sembles the morning glory. The other
Azalia Molis plant has a similar flower
only of a yellow tint. The lilac bushes
are now in full bloom and in stage of
greatest attraction.
A bed of columbines located back of
Friendly hall and considered by Donald
E. Shepherd, campus gardener, to be
one of the most attractive flowers
growing on the campus, is now in blos
som.
