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 women's do-nut baseball season
is scheduled to start next Tuesday when
the opening game will be played at four
o’clock. The dates for the various

ga, Alpha Delta l’i, Hendricks hall,
and Delta Delta Delta* All teams
must have three practises before the
season opens. 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.

to Coach Bohler’s first call numbered
.'JO. They have been practicing each
afternoon on the barracks diamond, and
on cemetery ridge. From first appear
ance the 1923 yearling will be repre
sented by one of the best baseball
nines in years, and Coach Bohler is
i well pleased with the prospects.
The squad includes some of the best
! former high school talent in the state,
j and if the players perform according to
[ past reputation the frosh seem doped
to have a winning aggregation. Among
i the aspirants for the pitching staff are
1 Fred Harrison and Lefty Carson, Both
| of whom loom up as potential slab
; artists. Harrison was quite suecess
| l'ul during his high school days at
Astoria. He was rated as one of the
best amateur twirelers in the lower
Columbia city. Carson is also said
,lo be a good twirler.

; also showed up exceedingly well for
the first practices. Among the best
( prospects for infield positions are Hob
i son and Slade, both ex-Franldin high
| .school stars and Portland Interschol
! astic league all-stars. Slade was of
fered a contract by the Portland Beav
ers in the Pacific Coast league, but
turned it down in order to continue in
the University. Hobson also establ
ished quite a reputation in amateur base

others have equally good baseball
names. Catching candidates include
Davis and Bukowsky, a former Lincoln
