Business Mana/«r _ Phones ..961 Editor _666 Daily News Editor This Issue Ben Maxwell Night Editor This Issue Ed Valitchka f College Cannot Create Brains Thomas A. Edison's statements that a college education does not always lit a man for success in life and that many regard education as a means of lifting them beyond the necessity for work, has caused a great deal of comment among educators and public men. The Dear born Independent was not far amiss when it declared, in a recent issue, that the question is not the proportion of college men to non college men who succeed, but what proportion of college men are failures, and why ? Perhaps it would be better to find out how many college men fail, and why, than to cite the 73 per cent of the people of “ Who's Who in America,” who are college trained. Perhaps, as the Dearborn Independent maintains, those so mentioned may only be the “delvers into life.” Certainly to know the proportion of failures among col lege men would be enlightening. What of Edison’s contention that a large proportion of college men’s failures is because they are too proud to work? What of the charge that many are educated above their intelligence, and have ac quired an academic equipment for professions for which they had no natural equipment? There are probably many students in an institution of higher learning who would fit better in trades where no higher education is thought to be required. Doubtless there are many mistakes in the choice of an occupation or profession. But even for those whose col lege technical training seems useless, there is something more. Four years of preparation lias not been entirely wasted. But, as far as success is concerned, Mr. Ford’s paper is right when it says, “That a college education is a great advantage is very true, but it is also true that the man himself must have the mental equipment essential to success, the absence of which no college edu cation can replace. College can, and sometimes does, discipline brains, but cannot create them.” The warning of the fire marshal is well-timed. Better to think of such things before they happen than after. Why not provide milk and crackers for the men between classes? SCORE OF 99 IS MAGE IN RIFLE COMPETITION Myrtle Pelker Ties Record for Girls on Coast Scoring US) out of a possible 100, Myr tle IVIker, a member of Alpha Xi Del ta, this week tied the Pacific coast record for girls. Wave Anderson, a member of Alpha Sigma team last year, also scored 00 in a meet a year ago. The next best sc or it, OS, was made last year by Beryl Jarman, of O. A. V. Intramural rifle competition will start at the barracks Monday, February 1L“, according to an announcement made yesterday by Lieutenant M. K. Know les, in charge of rifle work. Each girls’ house will have one team of live mem bers, and the halls of residence, Hen dricks and Susan Campbell will be allowed two teams. In order that shooting will not in terfere with class work, members of the teams participating may lire at any time during the competition. The target to count in the competition, however, must be specified belore firing is begun, states Lieutenant Knowles. All individuals entered must complete their firing by February 2-1. Assurance has been given that the rifle competition for girls will be made a minor sport at the l uiversitv, ac cording to Lieutenant Knowles, who states that a small "O" is to be given to all girls who become members of the varsity team. All matches will be fired on Natioual Kifle association targets, and "ill con sist of 12 shots prone, 2 sighting and, ten for record.

CAST 'IRAS HARO ON MASK AND BUSKIN PLAY “Come Out of the Kitchen” to Be Presented Thursday Two young women and two young men, attractive, cultured sons and daughters of the sunny, aristocratic old i South, through an uncommon chain of circumstances are thrown into the role of servants in their own mansion which has been rented by an attractive north erner and his party. This very briefly epitomizes the plot ■ around which A. E. Thomas wove “Come Out of the Kitchen,” that funny | three-act comedy which a select cast of campus dramatic luminaries will pre sent at the Heilig next Thursday night. The play is one of Thomas’ most fam ous, and an evening spent with the cast, now well advanced in rehearsal prac tice, would soon show the layman why it has been proclaimed one of the great est legitimate stage and movie hits of the past several years. From the beginning of the first act until the final lowering of the curtain the play is clever. With rollicking lines, humorous situations, and tense blimaxes, with several love threads in the warp and woof, the play, in cam pus technology, is a “knockout.” Lorna Coolidge, who took the title role in “Swanwhite,” and leading parts in half a dozen other campus produc tions, takes the lead in this play. She is Olivia Jane Dangerfield, who finds herself changed overnight from a luxury loving daughter of the idle rich into a cook, in her own kitchen. Vern Fudge, Hildegarde Repinen and Ted Baker, stars in such campus hits as “Dombey and Son,” “The Wedding Guest,” and “The Country Cousin,” take the other three major roles. The play is under the direction of Claire Keeney, well-known campus ac tor, who does particularly good work in the production of plays of this type. Keeney is enthusiastic over the progress of the cast in rehearsing for “Come Out of the Kitchen. ” He is confident the play will establish a new standard for university dramatics. An advance seat sale will get under way Monday morning. MEDICAL SCHOOL DOES (Continued from page one) tenance of an orthopedic clinic in Port land under the direction of the Oregon medical school. To them, for their efforts and interest the University owes and tenders a very sincere vote of thanks. There are 1000 children in Oregon who are to some ex tent crippled, deformed or disabled, and who may be cured or improved through the use of braces, plaster casts, cor rective exercises, massage, heat and light treatments, and therapeutic work, all of which will be provided at the clinic. Too much praise cannot be given the group that made up the twelve colorful, animated acts of clever take-offs on prominent popular authors. The whole show, under the direction of Miss Grace Henry of New York,, was put on in pro fessional style making the performance a great social and financial success. The National Board of Examiners has conferred a great honor on the Univer sity by rating the Oregon medical school as fourth among such institu tions in the United States, Harvard and Johns Hopkins-being placed ahead of Oregon. National board, examinations, the pass ing of which privileges the individual to practice medicine in practically all states, will be given to seven students of the medical school starting February 12. Three of this number are ex-Ore gon students, Irwin Barendriek, ’20, Joseph Wilson, ’18, and Albert Morri son, '17. DIMM, ’16, VISITS CAMPUS Alumnus First to Use University Press Now Portland Publisher Walter Dimm, ’16, now a member of rlie Dimm and Sons publishing company of Portland, was on the campus yester day and dropped into the journalism “shack” to see how the Emerald was being published in the modern day.

CAVER (Special to The College Krier) | Copywrite 1923, by Obak Wallace LUXOR, "Egypt, Feb. 10.—Great ex , citement reigned today in the excava ! tion party now at work on the tomb of Tutankhamen, ex-pharaoh of Egypt, as a result of the discovery of his code for conduct addressed to college stu dents as recorded on an anit-deluvian phonograph record. The uncovering of this rare relic of eons past is important for two reasons. The first of them is that Thomas A. Edison’s claim of the discovery of the principles of phonographic reproduc tion is not genuine, having been em ployed by the ancient royal courts i many years before the Eskimos first l settled this continent. Of greater importance to present so ■ cietv and thought, however, are the | rules for every-day conduct layed down j by that pre-Qhristian political boss. Much wonder as to just what the round baked disk was used for was expressed until one member of the : party aocidently drew a string of pointed beads across the surface of the plate and was dumbfounded to hear several unfamiliar words spoken. Experimentation disclosed that the contents of the record is spoken in a deep voice, thought to be that of the pharaoh himself, as at several places a female voice is noticeable, the im plication being that th queen was as sisting her spouse by telling him what to do next. The words spoken are: “Hear ye*, all who spend your lives in the fruit less search for truth. Hark to the commandments of one who hath, weathered the storms of many wives. . “1—Abstain from excessive work. —Make merry, for good company and much laughter driveth away the. worry complex. “3—Know that ns a leaky hot water bottle in time of need, so is a fond woman who telleth th-v secrets; her folly exceeditli her comfort. “4—Select well thy wine shop,” the an cient for billiard hall.—Editor). “5—Study not continually that you be come thick headed but gather you: among your brothers and cat. and sup, and play games. “6—Verily T prophesy that in the ages to come an institution shall arise in the vicinity of a great University whose sole purpose shall be to afford a meeting place for those engaged in studies, that they may relax from their work. And I see a white banquet ta ble, piled high with rich food and tempting drink. Music is in the air and students compete as a game with balls. And the sign above the door is OBAK.
