Piper Leon Byrne Virgil Earl Is the Man Regardless of different ideas as to the proper solution of the present coaching dilemma,there is a general feeling that if a director of athletics will iron out difficulties, Virgil Earl is the man who can do it. Earl comes to Oregon with highest recommendations, and his interest in athletics while a student and since speaks well for him. A director of athletics has been provided as a go-between for Dean Bovard and the varsity coaches with the hope that the friction which has been apparent during the last three years may be elimin ated in the future. It is thought that with a man who is himself an athlete over the varsity coaches there will be fewer controversies, and a smaller chance of a repetition of the recent episode which is costing Oregon one of her best coaches. Virgil Earl has stepped into a man-sized job. If he can succeed in creating harmony where there has ever been friction he will be successful indeed. In view of circumstances it will be a hard po sition. ' The Emerald makes no predictions, other than that if anyone can do it, Earl is the man. The Canoe and Its Dangers The river and its broad and serene waters will always be an at traction to pleasure-seeking people, young and old. It is not desired nor desirable that the ordinary pastimes of the water be denied them. But it is desirable that there be both a better understanding of the dangers of the river and a more rigid system of enforcement of pres ent regulations. The tragedy of Sunday in which two boys and a girl lost their lives in two accidents was deplorable. It might and should have been prevented, either by less willingness to run risks for the sake of a thrill, or by more skill in handling water craft. In each instance it was a canoe which tipped over and threw its occupants into the water. A canoe is a frail craft, easily capsized, not fitted for rough going, never safe for the inexperienced or the careless. Yet it is a favorite boat for tlie happy young. Some of these excursionists can swim, others cannot. It is nothing against the wise rule that no one who cannot swim should go near the water that one of the victims of Sunday’s sad adventure was a good swimmer, llis death, perhaps due to cramps, merely makes all the more clear the dangers of canoeing. There is an ordinance against rental of canoes to any person under 18. It should extend to use of the canoe by any one. But that is not all. There should be better education as to the risks of this par ticular class of water sports.—The Oregonian. The foregoing editorial should be given serious consideration bv students who use the millrace and the river for canoeing. There have j been many fatalities among University students since aquatic sports! became universally popular. A number of the accidents could have been prevented had the proper precautions been taken. ‘An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is only too true in this case. There is no reason why theWillamette should reach out and take the life of a University student every two or three years. Everyone should understand the dangers. LENGTHENING OF TERM DUE TO OBSOLETE RULE System of Arranging University Dates Causes Delay in Closing This Year Until June 25 There's a reason why school will not be dismissed untid the 25th of June. I It's not because the faculty have aifv thiug against the students but because several years ago the faculty took from the schedule committee the privilege of arranging the opening and closing of the University and passed a ready made plan that could be used year after year. I All went well until the winter term of this year. The ruling passed said that the winter term should -open on the | first Monday in January. This year the first Monday was New Year’s and by faculty legislation the University was not able to open oa the next day, Tues day, but had to give the unwilling stu j dents a vacation until the following1 Monday, making school a week later in June. That such a situation may not arise { again, the faculty have rescinded this piece of legislation and have left it to the administration, hereafter, to ar range the opening and closing of vaca tions and the adjusting of dates as they think best. This is the last time that the University will be in session so late. , FORENSIC COACH TO SPEAK Professor Thorpe Will Give Address at Convention in San Francisco Professor C. 1). Thorpe of the Uni versity public speaking department has ; been asked to speak at the convention of the National Association of Teachers of Speech to be held in San Francisco July S and 6. .Mr. Thorpe will speak on: the ‘‘Educational Value of High School Dramatics.” Several instructors of na tional fame from various colleges and universities of America will be present ! it the convention to speak. FROSH BALL SQUAD TO BE IDLE THIS WEEK-END Shortage of Funds Is Cause of Restricted Schedule The frosh ball toasers will be idle this week-end as far as outside con tests are concerned, due to the already large number of athletic attractions scheduled for Junior Week-end. A prac tice game with the varsity on Cemetery Bidge this afternoon, the last of the season between these two nines, is the only contest in which the babes will have a chance to perform before the return games with the rooks, May 24 and 25. Lack of finances is the reason given by Coach Bohler for the comparatively short schedule assigned to the yearlings this year. Baseball is not a money making sport at Oregon and most of the finances allotted to baseball are used to conduct the varsity schedule. However there are prospects of the freshmen taking at least one trip be fore the curtains are rung for the sea son. This will be a trip to Portland May 31 for a return series with Colum bia University, wnich the babes de feated in two games on the campus. The Columbia games will close the season for the freshmen. The O. A. C. rooks who handed the yearlings two defeats at Corvallis will furnish the opposition in a two-game series at Eugene, May 24 and 25. These two games should furnish plenty of thrills as the frosh are still smarting from the two lickings they received at Corvallis and are “rarin’ ” to even the score. Incidentally the two tilts will be the last for the first year men on the campus diamond this year. In the games with Salem last week, the freshmen played bang-up ball, es pecially in the second tilt. Both Harri son and Carson heaved the pellet in sterling fashion while their teammates fielded and batted in top-notch form. If they can repeat against the rooks there seems to be a fine chance to turn the table on the Aggie babes. With Bittner back on second base the frosh have their infield working in smooth shape. Likewise the outfield is strong with Terrill, Frame and either of the pitchers grabbing everything that comes their way. COMMUNICATIONS Letters to the Emerald from students and faculty members are welcomed, but nust be signed and worded concisely If it is desired, the writer’s name will be kept out of print. It must be understood that the editor reserves the right to reject communications. GILBERTS COMMENDS CHOICE To the Editor: Being in the nowspaper game, I nat urally have an aversion for the unso licited correspondence of the free lancer. I think I have only been guilty of the offense once before, and I imposed on the Emerald then, too. But I can’t resist in congratulating the University on securing Virgil D. Earl as athletic director. In the first place, I believe that a good man in the position can accomplish worlds of good for the University and, secondly, I know that Virgil Earl is a good man. Old Oregon couldn’t have done better. I have known “Virg” for three years. He is absolutely square. Hg is ener getic, but not flashy in his work. He has a genius for quiet organization and efficiency. He is a big-bodied, burly man who wrote history in cleat marks on Old Kincaid field, and he needs a big body to hold his big heart. Yes, the University is to bo congratu lated on its new' director of athletics. Give him a chance and he will make good with it vengeance. Very truly yours, J. DEWITT GILBERT, ’18. ARMENIANS NEED CLOTHING Bundle Day is Last Cliance to Make Contributions of Old Garments Bundle Day is today! Today is the last day contributions will be received at flic Y.

Men Under 21 Held Insane—A promi nent club woman of Philadelphia, in backing up the opinion of Dean Bald win Woods of the University of Cali fornia, that a man should have $2,500 before marrying is quoted as upholding the opinion that all men under 21 are insane. “There is too much puppy love,” she declares, “and saving money would do away with a lot of it.” Twenty-two Formal Engagements in Women’s Houses at Cornell—A census taken at Cornell University among 14 women’s fraternities shows that among the 409 fraternity women 22 formal en gagements have been announced. Only three houses claimed no engagements but a majority admitted strong possibil ities for several more before the end of school. Western Co-eds “Pals”—In the East a co-ed is just “a bunch of drygoods,” a “girl,” a “skirtie,” but in the West she is a “date,” a “pal,” a “fellow student.” This sharp contrast in the attitude of the average college man toward girl students on his campus was brought out in a discussion of the co-ed problem by delegates at the intercol legiate conferences on undergraduate activities at the University of Penn sylvania recently. Iowa State University Costs Farmers But Three Cents Per Acre—With all its buildings, equipment and departments Iowa State University costs the tax payer but three cents per acre, accord ing to statistics given out by President Pearson. If each cow in Iowa were to contribute three pounds of butter a year or each hen in the state two and a half dozen eggs the expenses of the University could be met with the pro ceeds. U. of W. Maggot Factory Busy—The maggot factory in the college of fish eries of the University of Washington is busy raisiitg thousands of worms to feed the fish of the department. The factory is a small house built over the fish pond and is partly filled with dead fish and refuse. This becomes the breeding place for flies. Co-ed Training Costs University More Than Board and Room Together—Fig ures compiled at the State University of Ohio show that a college co-ed’s training, along soeial lines alone, costs the University more than her board iad room together costs her family. Students Die as Result of Hazing— l wo students at Northwestern Univer sity have died recetnly as a result of liazing and class rushes. The skele ton of Leighton Mount, a freshman, vho disappeared during a class rush, ■vas found about two weeks ago, a few lays after the death of Louis Aubere, vho was killed in an automobile acci leut during the rush.

BROGAN GETS POSITION WITH BEND NEWSPAPER Has Had Extensive Experience in Field of Journalism Managing Editor Phil Brogan of the i Emerald, a senior in the school of jour- ' nalism, is the first one in Dean Allen’s editing class of 17 members to land a newspaper job at the conclusion of this school year. Brogan has a position wait ing him on the Bend Bulletin through the | courtesy of Robert W. Sawyer, publisher j of the Bulletin, and will leave to take j the new position as soon as school closes next June. “Eastern Oregon is my home,” de clared Brogan, “and I shall be glad to get back to the land of the sage brush.” Brogan was bom at The Dalles and a greater majority of his life has been spent in fhe great inland empire. His elementary and prep, school work was taken at Columbia University at Port land. During the war Brogan served in the navy. A good part of his naval serv ice wa spent on the S. S. Eeltore. It was on this vessel that he received his first taste of actual journalism, serving as editor of the small publication, “The Radio Bulletin” that was circulated among the men on board. For the purpose of keeping the men aboard ships on high seas informed dur ice was spent on the S. S. Feltare. It a dally press dispatch in code from the large government radio broadcasting sta tion at Arlington, Virginia. Timely news was transmitted through this serv ice, and despite the fact that the ships were hundreds of miles from land those on board used, to keep as well informed as the citizens at home. Brogan’s services on the staff of the Emerald began in his sophomore year. Last year he was one of the day edi tors; and when Youel became editor last fall he was promoted to the managing editorship. During the summer of 1921 Brogan worked as a reporter on the Register, a Eugene morning daily. In the winter of 1921-22 school year he served in the same capacity on the Register, working only half time. ETHICS CLASS HEARS HALE Opportunities for Women in Law Told by Dean to College Co-eds “There are unlimited opportunities for women in any field of work or in any profession, if they have the desire to win, and if they have earnestness zeal and capacity,” said Dean W. G. Hale of the University law school in an address before the members of the practical ethics class yesterday. Some of the opportunities for women in the law profession as outlined by Dean Hale, are: positions in the admin istration of justice; juvenile court work and work in courts of domestic rela tions; stenographic and clerical work in law offices; managerial positions in law offices; law library work; the teaching of commercial law in high schools; government positions; editorial work in law publishing firms. Law training, he said could be used as a background for every one in every day problems and in all fields of business. He said that every individual should have law training in preparing for effi cient citizenship. Every 111 Wind blows someone good. In this case it is new straw hats. Time to “douse” the softie.
