Phones ■aainesft Manager-851 Editor ___556 Daily News Editor This Issue Night Editor This Issue Theodore Janes Leonard Lerwill Gossip—Untrue and Unjust “Absolutely untrue,” is the response of the administration to the rumors that a number of students had been forced to leave college for other than scholastic reasons. And thus the scandal mongers are disappointed and the good name of the University is saved. Why is it that intelligent people will give credence to exaggerated stories 1 Only too frequently are chance conversations o’verheard and repeated. Only too gladly do students hasten to tell the next door neighbor the latest choice bit. The result is to place innocent persons on the blacklist and to drag the reputation of the University through the mire. How much better it would be if everyone would take a sane and dignified attitude on such absurd stories. How simple it would be to get the facts in the case. It would not be hard to find out whether the stories are true or not, and armed with evidence, the gossips could be held up to ridicule and their overdrawn tales disproved. Suppose one of those rumored to have been ejected had been forced to remain away from the University for financial reasons. The ' damage would have been irreparable. When such stories are current the good name of the institution is threatened. Conditions have been painted darker than they really are. The damage has been done—and the only thing to do is to see that the future rumors are verified, or si lenced. *' ’ __— The Emerald joins the faculty in extending felicitations and best wishes to Dean Straub, the Grand Old Man of Oregon, on the oc casion of his seventieth birthday. OPENING BALL GAME TO BE PLAYED ON TUESDAY Sixteen Women’s Organizations to Take Part in Do-nut Series; Interclass Contests With O. A. C.

The diamond may be used any afternoon from four to six and all day Saturdays. As the iuterelass intercollegiate games with O. A. 0. are scheduled for May 2(i, very little time remains to run off the donut and iuterelass series. The success of class baseball will be due partly to do nut baseball, said Mary Hathaway, head of this sport, who urges all houses which have entered the league to remain in the entire season. Practise for interclass intercollegiate games will he cut short this year due to the early schedule with O. A. C. which lias already had a two weeks’ start.
