The Sunday Emerald VOLUME XXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SUNDAY, JANUARY 13, 1924 NUMBER 69 The Bystander Co-op Behind the Mask Library Material W. R. H. _By C. N. H._ An “investigation” has been made by a student administration committee in the matter of student control of the Co-op. Grounds of progress are gained slowly and never through a sudden upheaval of any sort. That all students shall be mem bers of the store and that the offi cers be elected at the regular elec tions yearly—these are constructive suggestions offered by the com mittee. It remains for the students to see that these suggestions . are adopted. If the student body fails to keep these suggestions in the forefront of its mind, they are liable to “fall through” and the investigation will have failed of its purpose. If the investigation fails to bear fruit, the old cry will be raised on the campus that “interested parties blocked the way.” National politics and .student politics are much alike. Let’s not have this opportunity for gain slip by unheeded! Colonel Leader was attacked the other day through the columns of the Emerald. The “old boy” of the University’s affection was accused of “keeping notes” on an Indian in our midst. The colonel was de fied indeed! The students had not known that among them, hiding behind the jovial mask of the well liked colonel, there was such a Romantic and exciting figure. Bah jove!—A blood-drippyug pirate, a spy of Britain’s tyranny accused Soviet Russia of trying to stir the Indians to revolt with its ill-gotten gold. .So for one wild dream of Russia stirring discontent in India, the Indian representatives present a better, one of villianous English spies hiding behind jovial English “Colonels” in America. Not bad! Not bad! That is better fiction reading than some of the questions which usually occupy the communi cation columns of the Emerald. We Americans are supposed to be en dowed with some common-sense! May we suggest that in some | eases, with, of course, the lecturer’s permission, the University would do well to take down stenographic re ports of especially able lectures on certain subjects. These typewritten and bound, pamphlet-wise, between cardboard covers would make a valuable addition to the University library. • • *■ With amusement we see that in the military department the rifle team is competing in a national contest for a prize offered by Wil liam Randolph Hearst, well-known newspaper publisher. We recom mend this as food for thought, facetious or no, of the school of journalism. # * * A University student met a small Taoy of the neighborhood the other ■day, who announced that he was nine years old and in the sixth grade and that he was going to try to win the Rhodes Scholarship when he was a University student. The school of architecture is noted on the campus for its good, chummy student spirit. In the ■“old days” they used to adjourn themselves from the drafting room to play horseshoes for a while by the fence next to the railroad track. ’Twas good recreation! They’ve put a road in there now, but can’t the architects find some other place to continue the sport? It is a pity to discontinue such a good tradi tion. Seniors seem to have two strange customs or traditions. One of them is to grow sentimental about the dear old University, soon to be their Alma Mater, and the other is to crab unmercifully certain pro fessors. They say they’re disillu sioned, and that so-and-so isn’t the fine professor, nor even man, that they thought him to be, and so forth into eternity. Yet this man is often the one they praise most in after life. Can’t they forget it, as the popular saying goes! Are Super-I ntellectuals Superior Beings? By L. L. J. Have you noticed our new-born group of super-intellectuals? At times they do cause one a great deal of embarrassment, for it is really very disagreeable to have ones “complexes” plainly discussed in public when they had previously been intimate details of private life known only to the family physician. Being analysed openly and com pletely by every passing individual is getting to be more than a fad; its becoming an outrage. Hearing peo ple discuss your character in this manner: “Oh, yes, he has an over developed superiority complex, he’s a materialistic egoist and I consider him a moron because his cerebrum simply doesn’t function.” Not knowing what all of these words mean one is at loss whether to at tempt to display a modest denial or an outburst of righteous indigna tion. Our semi-intellectuals, thesfi in dividuals that feign a bored and indifferent attitude to everything that was held sacred by the Puritan Fathers and the Daughters of the American Revolution; the in dependent order of subjective, ob jective, free and original thinkers, simply cramp our style. We no longer feel free to talk in the tefms that we understand, we hate to ex press ourselves on ordinary “back to the farm” subjects. In fact, we even refrain from sneezing in public for fear it may start another of those “complex” rumors about us. Perhaps it is an old-fashioned in stinct dating back to some genetic att^Dutea of a dim and forgotten ancestry, that causes us to be fright ed^ by the bohemian inclination. Somehow or another we shrink at this self expression that allows lib erty to discussion of all subjects without so much as even a blush or an explanation. Can it possibly be true that these self appointed intellectuals were once just ordinary human beings that breathed, laughed, talked, cried and ate onions with the masses? Did they once love to chew gum, see slap stick comedies, read books that had never been surpressed and enjoy plays that were not saturated with the sex element? To be an intellectual you must suddenly, and without warning, be (Continued on page four.) Junior Jazz Jinx Planned Etiquette Outline for Affair Created Plans for the Junior Jazz Jinx, to be given in the Campa Shoppe next Friday evening, are rapidly nearing completion. Names for the lottery, list, printed in this issue of the Emerald, were drawn Saturday morning by the committee, which consists of the following: Don Park, chairman; Margaret Morri son, Lillian Baker, Marie Myers, Hal Lundberg, Don Woodworth. Due to the fact that there are more women in the class than men, women whose names do not appear in the list, and men who are not able to get dates with their part ners, are asked to make their dif ficulties known at a late bureau, which will be open from one until five on Thursday' afternoon, in the Journalism building. The .men are expected to bring their partners to the dance and see that they get home, but they will not be required to attend them dur ing the evening. Rough clothes are to be the or der of dress for the evening, one prize to be awarded the couple wearing the most original costumes, and one to the couple coming to the dance in the most unusual con veyance. A twenty-five cent admission will be charged at the door, for which the couple will be given two tickets. These are to be traded in for pop and pink pop-corn, which the committee promises will be there in abundance, and which will also be sold later in the evening. The patrons and patronesses .for the affair are: Prof. George Turn bull, Mr. and Mrs. Boland Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Nichols, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Snyder. NO DIVING FOR PENNIES, ORDER OF COACH University of Wisconsin—“Quit diving for pennies,” is the instruc tion given by the coach at the Uni versity of Wisconsin. He wants to take no chances of possible charges of professionalism. “Diving for pennies is using your swimming knowledge for financial gain,” he cautioned. Gerber, star Wisconsin tackle, was kept out of the Illinois game because of Illinois’ protest that he was a professional because he gave swimming lessons at the Y. M. C. A. during the summer. YALE HAS 21,000 LIVING GRADS LISTED Yale University—Yale university according to an alumni directory recently issued, has ” 21,000 living graduates. Among the large cities j listed is Kansas City, with 200 graduates. More than 1,000 former students live in foreign countries. : Asia claims 375 of these. Handball Setj for Tuesday Nineteen Teams Enter Tournament Games The doughnut handball tourna ment is scheduled to get under way next Tuesday, and from then on two games a day will be played until the first round of the tourna ment is over, sometime near Febru ary 7. I Nineteen teams have entered the tournament and they have been divided into four leagues. A round robin will be played in each league to determine the winners. The two highest teams in each league will go into the second round, where straight elimination will weed them out until the final games, which will determine the ratings. The two or three lowest teams in each league will go into another league ,and play straight elimination. All teams will be listed on a percentage basis. Thus the handling of the tournament will be practically the same as that of the basketball tournament, except that the final leagues will play straight elimina tion games for the championship. In order to get the tournament run off as quickly as possible Henry “Hank” Foster has arranged that no games be postponed. Absolute forfeiture will be the result of games not played on or before the set date. The date each game is to be played will be posted in the men’s gymnasium. Foster urges that men arrange to play off the (Continued on page two.) Oregon Takes Bearcat Game by 47-13 Score Checking by Varsity Defense Allows But Four Goals Short Passes Used Oregon skimmed safely over the second of her conference barriers by a greater margin than the first one last night, and the Willamette Bearcats fell before the Lemon Yellow onslaught to the tune of 47 to 13. Oregon’s defense was working with more of a precision than in the previous engagements and although the Bearcats looked like a better aggregation than Pacific, the locals were able to run up a slightly larger score. The dif ference, however, can readily be laid to better quality of shooting from the foul line. Hunk Latham showed symptoms of returning to his old form last night and was high point man of the tangle, with 18 counters. Logan was the guy with the brass buttons in the Bearcat offense and he rung the bell thrice for six points. Shafer Converts Five If we were to pick a star in last night’s contest, however, we would pass the palm to Earl Shafer. Be sides converting five out of eight tries from the foul line, the little fellow slipped the leather through the hoop four times from the field. Then again, Shafer was no small part of the highly successful five man defense of the local squad. Hobson slumped slightly under his performance against the Badgers. The Oregon defense was pene trated for four field goals in the first half, but in the last period the visitors had to be satisfied with four points via the foul route. Last night’s game was divided into four eight-minute quarters. Gowans opened the scoring by dropping one in from the foul line and baskets by Latham and Shafer soon ran the count to seven be fore the visitors scored. About this time, however, Logan got an acute attack of the basket shooting fever and in less than a minute he heaved the sphere through the hoop three times, making the count seven to six. This was as close as the Bearcats ever got, however, as the Lemon-Yellow combination got to work and at the end of the first eight minute period the score stopd 13 to 6 in Oregon’s favor. Reinhart’s team kept the Salem lads on the defensive throughout the remainder of the first half and at half time were leading 23 to 8. Second Half Fast Tlie varsity in the second half ran their final count to 47, while Willamette did not make a single field basket. Both coaches sent in a host of subs during the latter minutes of the game. Stoddard (Continued on Page Two.) Dent Mowrey—a Musician ****** Education, Genius, Fame By Josephine Bice The Dent Mowrey recital tomorrow night will offer an unusual oppor tunity to students and townspeople to hear one of the most prominent of the younger musicians of today. 'Dent Mowrey is an artist with the firm foundation of a thorough musi cal education; his excellence of mu sicianship is due, not only to his na tive genius, but also to years of ear nest and assidous labor. Mr. Mowrey has had the advantage of European training and contact i with the best in the Europaen musi cal world. He attended the Royal Conservatory at Leipzig and gradu ated with honors. From there he went to Paris to study with Harold , Bauer, one of the foremost of mod I ern musicians. Harold Bauer recent . ly toured the United 8tates, and ap j peared in Portland with the Port j land Symphony orchestra, and was re ; ceived most enthusiastically there, as j elsewhere. Mr. Mowrey’s talent won | cordial recognition in Europe, -an honor not attained by many Amer ican students. He played at musi cales and did extensive concert work, playing mostly his own compositions. Since his return to America, he has been one of the leading figures in musical circles in San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle. The first part of his program con sists of five selections from the “Classic” masters, Beethoven, Mug gilini-Liszt, Schubert, and Brahms. Those who know Schubert are look ing forward eagerly to the Rosa mundo Ballet Music. The brilliant Soiree Musicale, by Mugglilini-Liszt, and the Waltzes of Brahms cameo like in their perfection, will furnish a rare treat for the listeners. His second group will be interpre tations of the most outstanding of modern composers. A comment on Chopin could be called superfluous, as there are few who do not know and love Chopin. Mr. Mowrey will (Continued on page two ) [SIDELIGHTS REFLECTING THE SPIRIT OF RECENT CONVENTION ARE RECORDED Although Jack Hemstead, who talked to the editors and managers conference Friday afternoon, is only sixteen, he has been for two years editor of thc Amplifier, taking the paper when it was printed on a mimograph and building it up to a real newspaper. To boost circula tion, theater tickets, purchased with advertising space, are given as prizes each issue, and as a re sult Jack .boasts a larger circula tion than the total enrollment. This is one time of the year when campus celebrities and their lesser lights get a chance to show off. * • * Hippity hop to the barber shop! The Chi O freshmen certainly be lieve in shearing them. Now papa and mama can get a foreglimpse of what college will do to a girl. Inspecting Deady hall will prob ably inspire many a keen nosed youngster with desire for a biology course when he comes down in the fall. Galoshes, Galoshes! Tlie stylo show will make a lasting impres sion as to foot gear at any rato. * * * Strange to relate, no wandering lads blundered in' on the style show. The interpretive dancers of the physical education department did some clever work at Folk Lore and Nursery Rhymes Saturday morning. They chose something simple in or der that tlie pr ppers would have nothing too difficult to decipher. # • * We have found the youngest delegate. He is Delbert Edwards, the only boy in the Oakridgo high school. He is 13 years old and is one of a student body of 13. » # » A complaint was made by the ' registration committee concerning the activities of one Frank Carter, who took up much of their valued time ascertaining the names of the more attractive among the preppers. * * * The junior and senior women’s class teams fought a model basket ball game for the benefit of the delegates. The game was an es pecially good one, due to the hoot ing and cheering spectators. • • • High school senior men are sup posed to have grown out of the bashful stage, but did you hear the faint, shy, little reply in ans wer to a fair co-ed's smiling “Hello.” At that they seemed to get as much kick out of it as we did. The little grammar school chil dren were certainly doing their stuff in the swimming tank of the Women’s building Saturday morn ing. Some of the seven and cight year-o'ds are rivaling the college women in their ability at diving and doing stunts. # * *■ Oregon Knights become popular. Nearly every one soen had a string of preppers and prepperesses, rang ing from three to twenty. » » ♦ The only way you could tell John Piper wasn’t a delegate was that he didn’t wear a ribbon. » * » One girl, a delegate, at the Gam ma Phi house, said she liked the girls real well and wanted to get her application in for residence there next fall'. She asked for their application blank. * » » Most of the delegates went to meetings with business in their head—about half of them were (Continued on page three) Preppers Name Officers for 1925 Delegates Pick Nelson Beeler and Kimball Officers of the various divisions of the convention of high school students which has been assembled here for the past two days, were elected yesterday afternoon.

Style Show Is Attractive College Girls Display Correct Clothing The atmosphere of a fashionable Fifth avenue shop, combined with the attractive simplicity of college life prevailed at the third annual style show given yesterday morn ing in Guild hall. It was presented under the auspices of the Women’s league for the benefit of th0 visit ing high school girl delegates. Bright hangings and drapes form ed a pleasing background for the stage, and two small blue-clad pages stood at the sides of the curtain. Numbers were announced by a slender figure in Chinese costume. The models were college girls showing the correct dress for Uni versity women. Tho first group was lingerie. Sport clothes for campus wear followed this. Besides attrac tive sweater and skirt outfits, bath ing suits, golf attire, and riding habits were displayed. Even the popular galoshes appeared on a figure in a raincoat and hat.

Both the editors and managers section of the conference and the student body officers section passed resolutions favoring the conference as a benefit to high schools and ex pressing aims decided upon by the delegates. Papers to Contribute The High School Press associa tion passed the following resolu tion: “In order that this organiza tion be more closely united, we ask I that the various papers and maga I zines of the said organization, ex change or lend cuts, and exchange news.” Appreciation was expressed to the University and the various organizations for the hospitality and help that had been received and to those connected with the conference for their help.

To those who had helped with the conference appreciation was expressed. Student Body Favored Resolutions favoring certain ac tion for all high schools were passed. These were: “We go on record as favoring a well organized student body in each high school, which shall control the general activities of the school, such as athletics and debates. We believe an effective organization should in clude the following features: (1) ▲ student council, which shall include ,a faculty representative, and which shall bo the executive body of the association; (2) a paid membership with a fee sufficiently large to justify admission of members into the various contests and other activities that are directly under the control and direction of the student body; (3) a carefully work ed out budget system for handling the finances of the organization.” “Believing that debating is one of the most profitable activities in which students engage, we favor full recognition and support of this activity by the student body as sociation.” State to be Divided “We go on record unqualifiedly j in favor of clean sportsmanship, honesty and square dealing in all interscholastic relations.” “Wo recommend to the Oregon High School Athletic association that plans be considered for divid ing the state into sections for the purpose of scheduling athletie vames.” “We pledge ourselves to endeavor to carry to our respective high schools, that fine spirit of harmony, cooperation and mutual respect that has boen in evidence throughout thin conference.” Certificates of merit, given in 1 recognition for outstanding work in the journalistic field, were awarded to winners in nine differ ent contests.
