Oregon Sunday EmEkald UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1923 VOLUME XXIV NUMBER 89 This Week Emile Coue curing cripples; Turks dead agin’ the rest of Europe; France more muddled than ever in the Ruhr; 150 or so miners entombed; a wild Texas nigger; the failure of drastic University legislature in Oregon. “Ca passe, ca passe, ca passe," chants a little smiling Frenchman, and crip ples, young and old, big and little, men and women, married and single, rie up, trot gaily about; withered arms uncurl and salute thanks;—Emile Coue, phar macist, king among autosuggesters in vaded America to conquer diseased minds with his “every day in every way.” His work has been pronounced successful, his cures permanent by prominent physicians. Hurrah for Emile! May he1 come again and stay forever. Ismet Pasha pettishly refused to sign the peace pact—and now Europe stands on the brink of another war. Smyrna is the ticklish spot at present, and the Turks have ordered all ships parked there which belong to the Allies to scoot for home. In spite of this threat all the vessels remain in the port. May be the Turks will be foolish enough to try to force them out, thereby start ing a fuss that will end in real war, but the chances are that when they observe that their bluff is called, they’ll lay down like good little boys, and listen to the reasonable terms of the Lausanne treaty. The Germans are going to be just as mean as they can in the Buhr section, and block every effort of the French to collect their honest due. And as long as such a policy is pursued, neither France nor Germany will get anything but a stronger craving between their belts and spines, and a desire to warm their shivery selves by the fires that ain’t—for no coal is forthcoming from the mines; factories are idling down, and railroad transportation is almost completely tied up. Moral; Although the Buhr goose laid but a few golden -eggs when let alone, it won’t lay at s4-’: when someone is fussing around the nest. One of the worst mine disasters in history occurred this week at Dawson, New Mexico. One hundred and twenty two miners were entombed by a terrific blast, -as yet unexplained, and but two have been brought out alive. Thirty four bodies have been recovered, and it seems certain that men now in the tunnels are dead. A similar accident happened near Cumberland, B. C. Here 35 men were killed by a mine blast. Boy Mitchell, a negro of Waco, Tex as, has confessed to eight murders, and sundry other crimes. For some of his dirty deads, other negroes have been lynched, given the death penalty, and sent to prison. The bill by Senator McMahon of Marion county, which would have abol ished all professional schools and courses at the University and at the agricultural college, was tabled, which is a polite term of death, in the Senate 'Friday. Bepresentative Bailey, of Lane county waxed exceedingly wroth over the provisions of the measure, al though it is conceded that the bill nev er had a chance of passing. The Cars ner bill, which would cut salaries of all professors to $3,000 per year, and the presidents of the university and col lege to $5,000 is admittedly doomed to defeat with scarcely a struggle. How ever, it is very probable that millage funds will be held to the same amount as in 1922, and it is even proposed to hold appropriations from this source to the 1920 level. • * • The national congress is now divid ing its time between rows over the ship ping bill, and the acceptance of the British debt funding plan. * * * The last of the U. S. troops from Eu rope are home at last, many with wives and children annexed while they loafed along the Bhine. Spurned by a “Paleface” flapper, Chief Gabriel Whitehorse, Cherokee In dian, killed himself in a popular lunch room in New York. The flapper should never have “seen red.” • Geraldine Farrar, singer, is now cry ing for a divorce from Lou Tellengan. who it seems, is plenty ready to let her have it. Washington “chiefs” have already started to figure on a new Panama can al to handle business in the future. * * * Quite the latest thing is cigarettes to match the color of the dominating hue in gowns. OREGON HAILED AS ‘SLIGHTED BEIUTT Scenery Bits Scattered All Around, Says C, H, Chap man, Once University Head j REED ‘FOOTBALL COLLEGE’ Rose Festival, Round-Up, and Literature Are Target of I, W, W, Educator of Chicago -- God was really rather thoughtless when He created the state of Oregon. He didn’t do the thing the way Charles H. Chapman, writing in the Nation for February 7, would have had it done if he had had anything to say in the mat ter. So, at least, this writer points out to the readers of that magazine in an article “Oregon: a Slighted Beau ty,” and so he doubtless has pointed out to God Himself. The scenery isn’t close enough to gether. That is the first of the com plaints against the state of Oregon which Charles H. Chapman got off his mind—or at least one hopes he got it off his mind—when he sat down at the typewriter and told it his troubles. Pos sibly the typewriter was one of the unsympathetic variety. “The Creator slighted Oregon, when He bestowed Mt. Hood, Crater Lake, and Neahkanie upon her, by scatter ing those picturesque assets too widely. It is a long journey from each to the next one, and the intervening stretch s fall regrettably short of heavenliness,” protests Mr. Chapman. The Nation lim ited the number of words which may be quoted from this article to 300; this quotation makes 42. Scenery Should Be Grouped It is, of course, a pity that Crater Lake is not situated in the very peak of Mt. Hood, which, in turn, might have been set with its august foot in the ocean, so that sightseers would only have .to make one trip. This would save a great deal in gasoline or train-fares, not to mention in printed matter put out by commercial clubs, | which at present advertise these beau ties separately, at a much greater ex pense than as if all three could be ad vertised in one folder. God might have thought of this. The fact that the stretches that intervene between love ly things often themselves tfall far short of heavenliness, is a fact that Mr. Chapman apparently had not no ticed before, but it is as well that he has discovered it now, because this is something most people find out sooner or later. In its list of contributors to tlie Feb ruary 7 issue, the Nation gives the following account of the author of “Oregon, a Slighted Beauty.” “Chappie” Once Oregon Head “Charles H. Chapman has been a res ident of Portland and its near neigh borhood for more than 20 years. He wrote editorials for the Oregonian for some ten years, and during four years for the Journal. From 1893 to 1900 he was president of the State Univer sity at Eugene. He ran a fruit farm just aeross the Columbia from Portland (Editors note: this is odd because Port land is not on the Columbia), has trav elled all over the state, and is intimate ly acquainted with the people. He has lectured for women’s clubs, the Y. M. C. A., the socialists, labor unions, and the I. W. W. on politics and literature. At present he is conducting the educa tional bureau of the I. W. W. in Chi cago.” From his intimate acquaintance with the people of Oregon, Mr. Chapman re ports that the state is suffering from an inferiority complex. OregonianB feel that God slighted them about the scen ery and the climate, that people make the mistake of visiting Washington and California, when what they really want is to visit Oregon, and that, in short, the best thing Oregon can do is copy other states. According to him. “Nobody can stay long in the state ■ without catching on to the prevalent j sense of slight and the resentment ! against it,” he declares. Schools State’s Good Point As befits an educator of I. W. W.’s, Mr. Chapman is dissatisfied with the condition of education in Oregon. It seems that the best thing the original pioneers did, when they came to Ore gon, was to found schools. “Every settlers’ camp had one,” he says, ” the Methodists at Salem, the Congre ^ationalists at Forest Grove, the Pres bvterians at Albany, the Baptists at McMinnville, the Wesleyan Methodists it Corvallis, the Quakers at Newberg, the Campbellites at Monmouth, strung ilong the Willamette river for a hun dred” miles or so.” This was all very well. In those days students studied. Later on they learned to play football, and now, in Mr. Chapman’s opinion they have gone to the dogs. That makes 109 words of quotation. The bitterest thing of all in this (Continued on page four.) University Air Is Intolerant; Pet Peeves Smolder U. of California, Feb. 7.—“Don’t be particular what you learn in college,” said Will D. Howe of Scribners ’ Sons, “but be very particular about what you don’t learn. “Many men today are fastened to desk jobs, simply because when they were in college they didn’t realize that they should study and study lots of j things. Later on in your work, what is wanted is not merely your decision, but what it is worth. “Get out of your job if you don’t like it. The University is the place to find out what you do like. Have some fun. There are as many grouches among the University students, as there are on the outside,” the spekaer declared. Sympathy or tolerance came third in his list. “College communities are not very sympathetic or very tolerant. You have to keep in touch with the man who is doing things. There is too much theorizing,” Dr. Hdwe concluded. FACULTY, JOURNALISTS TO MIX IN HOOP GAME Scott, Hodge, Cossman, to Star for Faculty; Youel, Piper, Hoyt, Fraser in Scribes’ Lineup • A basketball game which will com pare favorably with Friday night’s var sity struggle is promised fans, when the University faculty team tangles with the journalists Monday afternoon at four o’clock in the men’s gym. The faculty boasts a strong lineup with Harry Scott and Hodge as pros pective forwards, Cpssman center, and Kingle, Barnes, Widmer and several other capable of filling the guard posi tions, out fighting for places. The journalists are equally strong with a galaxy of stars such as is sel dom assembled outside of professional circles, with Skipper Ken Youel and John Piper as guards, Edwin P. Hoyt as stationary center, and Fraser and Shirley in the scoring forward berths. Among the substitutes are John Ander son, Cooper, Art Budd, Phil Brogan, Ernie Haycox and other luminaries who are just as good as the first string outfit. DUNN LECTURE PLEASES Professor Asked to Bepeat Talk on Tutankhamen Tomb Professor F. S. Dunn has been asked to repeat the lecture on recent discov eries in the tomb of the Pharoah Tu tankhamen which he broadcasted from the Oregonian tower last Friday night under the auspices of the Extension division. Professor Dunn received a letter from Earl Kilpatrick, head of the extension division, telling him of the favorable comment his lecture re ceived and asking him to repeat the lecture before the Association of Credit Men in Portland on February 15. His radio lcture was the second in a series which are being given under the auspices of the Extension division. MONEY GOES IN SCHOOL Male Student Spends $232.25 a Year to Pig in School Ohio State University, Feb. 9.—To attend all athletic events, see a show once a week, buy all campus publica tions costs the average male student $108 a year. If he takes a date and added to this an occasional visit to the confectionery, his yearly incidental expenses amount to $232.25. The only free date here is a library date and they usually cost the price of a coke or more. AGGIES HUMBLED BE OREGON 38-29 Varsity Plays Steady Game Throughout While Farmers Never Approach Set Pace LATHAM HOOPS 22 POINTS Crack in Webfoot Wins Due to Sickness; Passing Marks Coach Bohler's Efficiency Just to prove that Friday’s win from the Aggies was not a stroke of luck the Varsity started in last night where they left off Friday and before the Ag gies were aw*are ot it, were so far in the lead that they were never in dan ger. The final score of 38 to 29 left Oregon ahead by about the same num ber of points maintained during the en tire game. Oregon started the contest with a rushing offense that the Orange and Black was completely unable to solve, and in the first eight minutes of play ran up 11 points to one for their op ponents. The Aggies braced at this point, the half ending 21 to 12, but the Lemon-Yellow clearly outpassed, and outplayed the visitors even more than in Friday night’s game. McMullen was unable to stand the gaff of holding Hunk Latham down on two successive evenings, and the tall boy ran wild, scoring 22 of the Oregon points by grabbing off nine baskets and converting four out of seven at tempts from the foul line. The entire Webfoot squad played superior ball throughout and the way Gowans, Zimmerman, and Shafer fol lowed the ball was a wonder to both the Aggies and the crowd. Amory Gill retrieved some of his skill m this mix, for he hooked seven out of 17 tries in the foul department, and grabbed off five baskets, four of which were from the center of the floor, which speaks worlds for the Varsity defense. The way the team passed the ball around for close shots last night cer tainly proves that the coaching they have been getting is the best that can be handed out, for it is seldom that five men who have never played to gether before can be taken and mould ed into a winning squad as this one has turned out to be. Coach Bolder has worked wonders with the squad this year and but for the slump last week, caused by the sick ness of members of the team, would no doubt have turned in a clean slate of wins.

Love-lorn Have Special Booths For Affections Manhattan, Kansas, Feb. 7.—The ‘ ‘ tropical garden ’ ’ date is growing most popular among youths and the fair damsels at the Aggie college here, for on installing tete-a-tete booths for the convenience of Uie romantic inclined students, or perhaps look up the green house. h or years faculty members have en deavored to break up chapel dates and have gone so far as to lock buildings during the chapel hour, but no one thought it would be necessary to lock the college green house, where among the enchanting charms of tropical palms, ferns, and banana plants, the love-lorn stroll unmolested. OREGON FROSH AGAIN 0UTH00P0. A. C. ROOKS Rough Game Ends in Score of 27-23; Close Checking on Both Sides Slows Up Play The Oregon freshmen again showed their superiority over the Aggie rooks in basket shooting and copped the last game of the series yesterday afternoon by a score of 27 to 23. The contest was rougher and faster than the Friday tilt, Referee Fabre calling a total of 27 fouls during the matinee. Lxcopt for the first few minutes when Grider heaved a field goal, the frosh held the lead continually. The rooks made a desperate fight to even up the series but their basket shooting was woefully innacurate and they miss ed countless chances during the great er part of the first half. The second half was a replica of the first except that the playing became rougher. A feature of this half was the sensational shooting of Hobson who made three urilliant 'baskets from the center of the floor. Close checking on both sides account ed for the many fouls, and slowed up the game considerably. Out of 13 fouls called on the rooks Bryant converted seven. Osborne for the rooks hooped seven free shots out of 14 chances. Os borne and Grider again proved the mainstays for the Aggie babes and be tween them the two rolled up the en tire score for their team. The frosh exhibited excellent team work and there were no outstanding stars. The line-up: Frosh—27 Rooks—23 Bryant ID.F.Grider 6 Scriptures .F.Osborne 17 Gosser 2.C.Baird Hobson 6.G.Kolkana Mautz .G.

SIX COLLEGES “NATIONAL” Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Chicago, Mi chigan, Cornell Cited Austin, Texas, Feb. 6.—Dr. Albert Bushnell Hart of Harvard has selected Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Chicago, Mi chigan and Cornell as being “national” universities. In the opinion of Professor Hart, only these six institutions have had ; sufficient influence upon American his tory, offer adequate enough curricula, and draw the student bodies from terri tories sufficiently diffused, to be worthy of being termed “national.” PLEDGING ANNOUNCED Alpha Delta Pi announces the pledg ing of Laura Johnson of Pendleton. Campus Dramatic Stars Take Leads in “Come Out of the Kitchen” Lorna Coolidge and Vern Fudge, senior members of Mask and Buskin, whose names have been prominent in dramatic productions on the campus for the past four years, who are taking the leads ! in “Come Out of the Kitchen.” LOVE BEATS COLD IN IDEALHUSBAN8 Oregon Senior Women Against "Pretty Boys” For Future Mates; Want "Real Man” SENSE OF HUMOR 0. K.’d "Perfect Man” Held Extinct by Girls; Requirements for Partner Are Reasonable By Art Rudd “He simply must be big, strong, handsome, have ‘thrilling eyes’ and have just scads of money and be a won derful dancer.” This is the college girl’s idea of an ‘ ideal husband”—according to the world’s view of her—but it is very different from the views given out this week by a score of senior women, who were so busy with studies and the other practical things of University life that they hardly had time to talk to a re porter on that seemingly very import ant subject. Oregon women are not spending much time worrying about an “ideal husband,” in fact they are not think ing too much about husbands at all. The general attitude seemed to be: “Plenty of time for that later.” Ideas Plentiful But Oregon women do have ideas on the subject—ideas that were almost startling in their very sensibility ideas that make ordinary man quit worrying about being a “super-man” and devote his time to making a success out of the line of work in which he is most interested Whether or not senior women at Ore gon are different in their desires from their sister students at other western institutions it is difficult to say, but if we assume that they are not, then the proverbial “gold digger” is becom ing as scarce as the far-famed dodo bird, for not one of the girls inter viewed made wealth a requirement to her martial happiness. “Enough mon ey to start life comfortably, good busi ness ability and reasonable prospects of fulfilling his ambitions,” seemed to be all that ib needed. Most of the seniors who submitted to an interview mentioned the financial consideration only as a side issue. “Per sonality” and “intellct” rated highest in most of the lists of things that a good husband must have., want Good Looks “Pretty” or even “handsome” hus bands did not rate v *y high but most of the gnls‘did want a life partner who is at least “fairly good looking,” and one little junior girl, who happened to be with one of her senior associates at the time of the interview, added that “he must be in the habit of get ting a haircut at least once a month.” Another wanted a man who was at tractive to other women but not attrac ted by them.” All the girls wanted a “masculine man” and, as one girl said, “One who will be dominant in the household but not domineering.” Another said, “He must be a man of iron if lie’s firm about anything.” “He must be able to hold his own against anyone, includ ing his wife,” said a third. “Eccen tric” men seemed to be “under ban” with several. Must Love Home The desire for a good home and the love of children were regarded as very desirable by a majority of the girls who expressed themselves on the subject. Other opinions were that he must be “clean and neat,” considerate, polite, thoughtful, energetic, have parallel in terests with the girl he marries, and be sincere in all he does, clean minded, broadminded. Nearly every girl wanted a man with a sense of humor, as the impression seemed to be that this quality would save a great many difficult situations in the every day life of a married couple. “Irritableness” was severely scored. One girl specified that “her man” must be fairly talkative but not “oratorical” or “preachy.” Respect Necessary As to the spiritual qualities of de sirable husbands varying views were expressed. One girl declared herself in this way: “Must not be rligious in the conventional way — “ churchy” but must respect the religion ot others, be broadminded and charitable.” “Respect for the deeper things of life,” was the way a number of girls expressed what they felt a man should have in a relig ious way. The larger part of the women agreed that the perfect man was not to be found and that women should not ex pect too much of the man they are to marry. Happy married life is depend ent in a large extent on the thought fulness of both parties in regard to the smaller happenings of the everyday existence. That friend husband must not be (Continued on page two.)
