It was a team anxious to avenge themselves for a long string of defeats at the hands of an ancient rival. Just as great a team met them, however, for Oregon held the aggressive Vandals. We have just come from the field. The peacefulness of the sun’s last rays on the dark green of the campus pines is a contrast to the excitement of the classic struggle we have just witnessed. Already the crowd has disappeared and the great day is done. It is a lonely feeling after a game to see the field deserted; to feel the oppressing quiet of the eventide; and most of all to know that one is soon to see his last game as an Oregon student. To those of us who have watched Oregon through three years of football his tory each game stands out in mind as a monument and as the end of the football season of the last year looms just around the corner one knows that soon college days will be but a memory. Enjoy the Chaperon There is evidently some misunderstanding as to the Emerald’s contention regarding the question of the chaperon. Two communi cations appearing today ally themselves with the chaperon as a social courtesy which must out of all respect for tradition and pop ular manners be preserved. The Emerald readily agrees that the chaperon is a desirable factor in social life. The point is that de sirable or undesirable, there are many elders on the campus who do not like the idea of being a chaperon of a party rather than partici pant in a party. The Emerald will not agree that a chaperon serves a purpose similar to the college professor and that the college professor as a factor in the educational system is not more necessary. It is pointed out by the dean of women that the chaperon is not a guardian of rights or a policeman. With her we agree. It is notable, however, that many of the faculty, when invited to serve as patron or chaperon, demur. They feel that they are asked perhaps under compulsion on the part of the student. And the stu dent who does the asking regards it as a matter of duty rather than pleasure. This is where the evil lies. If the student will take the attitude that a chaperon will add to the party rather than detract from its success, and if the chaperon will accept with the idea of enjoying himself, then all difficulties should be overcome, and the social pro grams carried out successfully as heretofore. Those' of us who have watched Oregon teams for a number of years have learned to trust Coach Huntington. A greater team even than we saw him send against Idaho, yesterday, is in the making. By the time November 24 rolls around the little weakness evident yesterday will be gone. Our hats are off to a great coach and an already great eleven. OPINION OF CO-EDS VARY ABOUT MEN (Continued from page one) nml lasts surprisingly long. With the athletic man, outdoor sports is every thing. “Of course, there is the well-balanced man, excellent in studies, in sports and in social activities. He is tho ideal type and can lie found on this campus. “But the greatest number can be found in the average fellow. He does pretty well in his studies, not so badly in outside activities. He is usually tho popular chap.” Radical and cynical expressions were not lacking. A most fervent one was uttered in the denunciation. “The world would be better off without the men. They are all sublime egotists and fools. ” One person who was not communica tive at first laughed mischievously at the query ‘Why do you go out with men t" “You know it would be a good joke on some of the chaps I go with if I told you. Frankly 1 go with them for experimentation. Someday I am going j into foreign or diplomatic service and naturally I must know men. I analyze each person I go with. Sounds cold blooded, doesn’t it.f But it is fun, even if it is not complimentary to the man. Imagine how injured the fellow would feel if he knew that it was uot his ‘intense personality’ that attracted me. “However there is one trouble in the scheme. What will happen if be come so used to going out with men that I find they are indispensable to a good time. That will be an uncon scious revenge for the masculine sex.” OBGEON CLUB TO MEET There will be a meetiug of the Ore gon club at the Y. M. C. A. hut at 7:30 Monday evening. All men not belong ing to any campus living organization are expected to attend. COMMUNICATIONS Lstten to tho Zuhuui from student* and faculty members are welcomed, but nuat 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 readies the right to reject communications. THE CHAPERON, A CUSTOM To the Editor:— There is periodically in every com munity a growth of popular miscon ception of the chaperon idea. Chap eronage is not an implication of lack of trust in the fine instincts of youth. It is not intended to protect the young woman from her escort nor to act as a check against conduct unbecoming ladies and gentlemen. If this miscon ception were true, the ideal chaperon would wear a blue uniform and a star. Chaperonage is not an institution im posed upon one or two isolated uni versity communities to be abolished from the face of the earth by fiat. It j has grown up and endured through hundreds of years to fill a need of cultured society. It has been modified; from generation to generation to fit changing needs, taking on a broader and more lenient form as each succeed ing generation of young men and wo men has proved itself more self-reliant. It still fulfills its original functions' in spite of the modifications in mani- j festation. These functions I take to1 be, first—protection in emergency. An older person by virtue of the dignity and good judgment gained by experi ence, is able to meet the emergencies of illness, accident, and interruption. It iB a development of the chivalric idea of protecting women against un pleasant criticism. It also affords a valuable social re lationship between faculty and stu dents which the Oregon faculty wel comes. (Signed) VIRGINIA JUDY ESTERLY CHAPERONS DEFENDED To the Editor:— The annual spurt of editorial im patience with the chaperon has again appeared'. The writer begs to , ask since when this element of social life has been exclusively a University tradi tion, established by our predecessors on the campus and subject to abolition at the will of “students who believe that chaperons have outworn their utility.” This naive opinion is scarcely credit able to college students who are sup posed to have become familiar with good social usage by the time they have survived a year or so of campus life. The chaperon’ at University affairs, is not a spy. She is merely required by custom to lend dignity and protection to all social functions. The world out side of the University campus is not vitally concerned with student foibles, and a disparaging attitude towards a custom so well established and ac cepted, brands its supporters as either very inexperienced or plainly rude. After all, would not the promoters of this idea be equally intelligent and progressive in proposing classes with out professors, who are • no more an integral part of scholastic life than the chaperon in her sphere. Can Oregon students afford to subject themselves to the inevitable amused disgust which would greet such an effort? STUDENT. HEILIG APOLOGIZES To the Editor:— During the rally Friday night and the parade up Willamette street, the line stopped at the Heilig theatre with the intention of marching up andylown the aisles as the usual custom in this rally, but owing to a mis-understanding at the door, the students were asked not to parade through the house. The management wishes to offer it’s apolo gies to all students in the line for tAis mistake and wishes to state that in the future the theatre is wide open for any rally or similar affair that they may wish to use it for.

Quite a few old grads who had come down to see the game were seen mingling with the crowds of students. ' Dean Virginia Judy Esterly and President and Mrs. P. L. Campbell were the patrons and patronesses of the dance. Jack Myers’ Mid-Nite Sons furnished syncopation for the jazz seekers. The proceeds from the dance will be used in financing the banquet given to the old grads at homecoming.
