These lectures have been initi ated by the students and represent a sincere desire for information along the line of current events. Could anyone think of a more pop ular University course than one in current events? If a beginning could be made next year it is conceivable that the time of a half dozen professors could be spent when the idea got fully under way. The Emerald believes that the effort made by the students this year to get information in current events and current history war rants action in making provision for this through regular channels. There is no reason why current history is not as important as past history, and to give credit for such a course would not be un reasonable. An interest in the world’s doings among college students is en tirely to be desired. The students have demonstrated that they are keenly interested in bettering themselves by their action this year. In addition to the talks arranged through the living groups there are a number of discussion groups and professional fraternities which have taken up the work among themselves. It is suggested, then, as an experiment that a man of sufficient training and experience be brought to the campus next year to carry on work in the history that is happening every day. The Emerald is glad to print today a communication giving the “other side” of the recent coaching controversy. The Emerald has been sincere in its efforts to get both sides during the whole trouble, and pertinent communications have been welcomed at any time. The Emerald will, as in the past, print reasonable communications if they bear on the subject, no matter what side is expressed. They can be taken as no indication of the editorial policy of the paper, however. COMMUNICATIONS Letter* to the Euuui from student* ■nd faculty member* are welcomed, but nuat be signed and worded concisely If it la desired, the writer’* name will be kept out of print. It must be understood that the editor reserves the right to reject communication*. BOVARD IS SUPPORTED To the Editor: It lias been a singular but not un precedentd fact that during the popu larly-termed Roverd- Holder controversy which occupied the attention of most of the masculine element on the campus during the last week, that amid all the storm of protest that has been raised at the action of the head of the Phy sical Education Department not a word has been said either editorially or iu signed articles on the subject in defense of the administration. There is, liow ver, on the campus a feeling among a considerable number of students that their contemporaries have taken a great deal upon themselves in such wholesale criticism of the administration and in condemning in rather unrestrained and undignified fashion Dean Bovard's re fusal to recommend Coach Bolder for the coming year. The writer realizes that Bolder has been an excellent coach and there may be some difficulty iu obtaining his equal again. The loyalty of the major ity of the student body to him is ad mirable and naturally his teams will feel his loss keenly. Students have every right to express their loyalty and their regret but surely some con sideration is due the question before they assume the attitude of resentful antagonism toward the administration which has been expressed so freely. Dean Bovard is recognized all over the country as a man of high calibre and integrity and it is poor judgment on the part of any student who will hastily condemn a man of such evident ability without first investigating the case thoroughly to see whether or not there may be a reason for his decision. The j administration has chosen to offer no | defense or explanations to the student i body in spite of the pressure brought ; to bear on the opposing side. It has, oceured to unprejudiced minds that in remaining silent the powers that be may be protecting Bohler. At any rate such a decisive measure as his dismis sal would not be taken without due consideration and an attempt at jus tice on the part of the head of the School of Physical Education. It. is not only in this case but in others which have aroused campus sen timent during the year that students have so hastily and thoroughly con demned the authorities who are forced to effect unpopular changes and the writer believes that more thought on the part of the student body would re sult in milder and more just criticism of an administration which is striving to the best of its ability to act at all times for the fundamental good of Ore gon and its students. STUDENT. “THE ISLE OF LOST SHIPS'1 In addition to possessing the most unusual story ever filmed, “The Isle of Lost Ships,” a Maurice Tourneur production which is scheduled to open at the Rex Theatre today, boasts of settings that are the last word in novel ty. With the locale in the middle of the Sargasso Sea, which has never be fore been used in a motion picture, Di rector Tourneur had unlimited oppor tunities to get striking scenic effects and he succeeded in achieving remarkable results. TOM MIX AT HEILIG Tom Mix is back in town thrilling all of his admirers at the Heilig Theatre in the latest William Fox pic ture, “Three Jumps Ahead.” Several new and daring stunts never before attempt ed for the screen are shown in this photoplay. Tom jumps a canyon 90 feet deep and 20 feet wide with “Tony,” his stunt horse, and in addi tion rolls down a cliff while driving a stage coach. If you like to be thrilled by a swiftly moving story of the West ern plains, don’t miss this picture.
