Scholz, president of Reed College, was once heard to say, “I am through with this card catalogue education.” By this he meant that the enlightenment of the masses was not to be brought about by putting them mechanically through a scholastic mill where they might, or might not, absorb some of the knowledge offered. The old-fashioned “liberal education” is fast disappearing. The outstanding current criticism against institutions of higher learning is that they are becoming little more than groups of specialization departments. Under the old liberal curriculum, consultations be tween student and professor were held for the purpose of drawing out the beginner and ascertaining what he expected of his college. The professor, in turn, was able to advise the student concerning the courses best designed to fulfill his requirements. If the latter is the broadest and most effective method, and the best to employ in stimulating intellectual activity, then should not certain branches of the University of Oregon give an account of them selves 1 Card cataloguing, it seems, is what one division of this institution has been guilty of. In the recent registration, each freshman enter ing, was not afforded consultation with an older head upon what the school had to offer. Instead of being informed just how well pre pared to enter the world for himself, the curriculum would make him upon graduation, the novitiate, in company with a mass of others, like lambs innocently led to the slaughter, was handed a card upon which were stamped the courses he must pursue. The Emerald sug gests that the student would have been aided and benefited, could he have been given adyice prior to accepting without reservation the courses assigned to him. An explanation of the necessity of the fund amental courses outlined for him would have clarified his mind as to the ultimate purpose of the seeming nonsense which must be borne during the freshman year. A University could not be conducted along the same lines as a small college. But it certainly could correct a tendency to make the university a group of vocational departments, rather than a place where a man or woman can be educated as well as trained to secure a broad foundation preparatory for a career. Your Fighting Team Oregon students, today you have your first chance to show the strength of your loyalty for your football team. Let’s not have a rep etition of what happened yesterday noon when dozens of students ran away before the student body picture was taken. Everyone be on Hayward field at four o’clock to take part in the first rally of the year. Remember, it’s your team and they are fighting for our Uni. versity. COMMUNICATIONS Letter* to the Emir*u> from etudent. and faculty member. »re welcomed, but nuat be sinned and worded conci.ely XI it is desired, the writer, name will be kept out of print. It must be understood that the editor reserves tho right to reject communication*. Oo To It, Sonior. To tho Editor; A communication in yesterday s Em erald, headed Oregon misfits, points the finger of accusation at one of them. A football man was not only seen smoking in the presence of his fratern ity brothers but, what was far worse, pigged during rush week. As for the smoking; if the trainers and coaches countenance such practices something must bo done to thenij as well as to tho smokers. i'igging is a terrible crime. No arg ument there. And during rush weekl At a time when every loyal Greek puts aside all thoughts of the fair sex, that he may devote his entire energy to ex plaining to the credulous Frosh the ad vantages of his “shack’’ compared to the gang in tho next Greek boarding establishment down the Street Senior; your communication proved you to be in full posessiou of damning evidence. Your outburst showed you to be a man of action. Hesitate not. Your duty is clear. Swerve never from the cause of justice. If you have ever played any game more strenuous than marbles—you will never rest your con science until you have acquitted this truth. If you have ever attempted to pin a button on an unnaturalized greet lot, you realize that rushing is sacred. This appeal is to you, for you may nip these evils in tho bud. Go now to the coaching staff. Have this creature sent to the showers and oblivion. Demand that his brothers re move the mystic symbols from his breast, then get tho low-life expelled from our midst. Having thus proved your caliber by fearlessly attacking the football system, make your self incon spicuous before some husky athlete I chews off one of veur scandal-hunting auditory adornments.

Friday^F*i.»efi Try and Hold Out for “Six Days’’ AT THE CASTLE TODAY and SATURDAY Do You Choose Your Movies? Years ago when motion pictures were but “another nov elty” and were thrown upon a white sheet hung across the front wall of a former store building—people paid to see the pictures move. No thought was given to story, to directors, to capable actors, to appropriate settings, lightings and the many and combined arts which are now incorporated in high class motion pictures. In preparing the productions to be released this season, Goldwyn-Cosmopolitan pictures have given every thought to the production of de luxe photoplays. In employing the large financial resources of our organ ization, we have secured the most gifted directors, each with a record of big successes; the most important play ers—and stories and plays of world-wide fame. No expense has been spared in the making of Goldwyn-Cosmo politan pictures, for cheap, second-class pictures make cheap, second-class entertainments. Do you choose your movies—or do you go just to see them move? In every big city, if you go to the finest theatres, you will find Goldwyn-Cosmopolitan pictures, properly presented. Here are the Goldwyn-Cosmopolitan pictures to be released in October and November: Joseph Hergershiemer’s Beautiful Novel “WILD ORANGES” 'with all its tropical splendor and beauty. Elinor Glyn’s novel "SIX DAYS” with Corinne Griffith Frank Mayo Myrtle Steadman “ENEMIES OF WOMEN” by Vincente Ibanez (author of “The 4 Horsemen”) Rex Beach’s King Vidor’s “The SPOILERS” “3 WISE FOOLS a new version with star cast “THE GREEN GODDESS” with George Arliss, Alice Joyce and Harry Morey Goldwyn Cosmopolitan Pictures Exclusive contracts for the presentation of Goldwyn-Cosmo politan pictures in Eugene are held by The REX and CASTLE Theatres.
