Oregon’s New Coach
Oregon lias hired a good football coach. Wc have the word
of football experts that this is so.
With the election of a new coach and the return of the
alumni to the Oregon fold the outlook is distinctly brighter.
“Joe” Maddock is the man who was chosen out of a large field
as absolutely the “best bet.” The Emerald’s confidence in the
judgment of the men who chose the new coach gives us cour
age to predict winning seasons ahead. Perhaps next year the
games will not all be won, but with a change that has beeu
clamored for so long and with Oregon definitely lined up with
a highly recommended mentor we are inclined to be optimistic.
Campus confidence in the judgment of Virgil Earl, athletic
director, and others v'ho had a part in making the choice makes
this optimism general.
A letter, received yesterday from Dr. Kimball Young of the
psychology department of the University, indicates that the
new coach is a successful coach. It follows:
“The University is to be congratulated indeed upon its em
ployment of “Joe” Maddock as football coach. I had an op
portunity to observe his work during his entire stay at Utah
from the angle, not as student, but as outsider. During the
six years at Utah he turned out some of the ablest teams in
the lioeky Mountain conference. Maddock was known for his
ability as a coach and especially for his high ideals and high
practice in training. There is nothing “little” about him
ether in character or physique.
“When Maddock left the University of Utah, he left behind
hosts of friends and a greatly disappointed student body. For
myself 1 am glad to know that he will be back in the “game”
he is so ably fitted for and, as 1 believe, so greatly enjoys.
“If the student body gets behind its new coach, there is no
doubt in my mind that the glory of Oregon shall continue on
its past high level and as the years go by be enhanced by the
work of this new mentor.”
Every now ami then some person feeling himself endowed
with the ability to prophesy rises up and proclaims that a few
more years will reduce the average working day to four hours,
and that these will be extremely pleasant and profitable hours.
Electricity, these wise ones say, will soon be doing all our work.
Soon the most exacting tasks which men will have to perform
will be the simple turning of a button, or the throwing of a
switch.
All this sounds good. We hope that these predictors of the
future are not mistaken. If they have judged correctly the
man who makes a living by swinging a pick today will have
an easy time in this future world.
But for those of us who are laboring with our brains—if col
lege work can be so characterized these predictions promise
very little. The industrial revolution has not simplified the
problems of the world. On the other hand, it has vastly com
plicated them. The minds that struggle with the Ruhr situa
tion and the League of Nations need to be far better trained
than those that considered the difficulties of the Roman Empire
2,000 years ago. They need to be better trained because they
are dealing with more complex forces.
So there is little chance that mechanical inventions, or any
other kind of inventions will lessen the burden of the college
student. There is only one way to keep our modern highly
complex world ruuning smoothly, and that is to understand
its complications.
The chief burden of keeping the world straight in the near
future will fall upon the college students of today. If the
working day of the laboring man dwindles to four hours it
may mean that the -working day of the student must increase
to 16 hours to meet the increased complication of society.

BE A CREDIT TO YOUR
ALMA MATER
There are two ways of going
through university, and they are
quite distinct from one another. The
first way is to go through for the
sake of the knowledge that is to be
gained, and the second is to go for
some knowledge and a little of that
very intangible thing that leaves a
man broadened and stamps him as
having “education.” At the first
glance it would seem that the only
difference between these two is that
the second is the first with something
added. This is not the case. If a
student is going to take part in col
lege activities outside the realm of
his studies, his studies are bound to
suffer to some extent. What he
gains from his activities is somewhat
offset by what he loses in academic
work. When a student enters into
as many things as his studies will
allow he is gaining experience that
in after life will aid him no matter
what his work. He learns how to
mix, how to play the game, how to
stand, it may be, a sudden popularity
without losing his head, and finally,
he gets to know the real meaning of
responsibility. This last is some
thing that cannot be picked up by
the man who uses books alone. It is
true he feels a certain duty is owed
to himself and to his professor but
how does he feel towards his fellows'?
Hoes he recognize that he owes some
thing to them also? He should. Tf
there is anything a student, can do
that will help those who are sharing
the university with him it is up to
him to do that thing. And there is
something for all to do. Tf a man
plays a game, if he is on his class
executive, if he is a member of a
college club of any kind, he is tak
ing part. We are thankful that
there are few students at McGill that
“don’t take part,” but there are
some, and there are others who are
not doing their full share. Are you
one? Tf you are. climb out of the
rut and be a credit to your univer
sity.—McGill Haily.

Women Claim That Paper |
Leads Men Away from
Fireside
All newspaperdom today stands
with its lower jaw relaxed and gap
ing, doing its best to comprehend
the full significance of the shower
of torment that has suddenly dashed
its fury against the humble brow j
of this stately representative of the |
world press, The Kollege Krier.
The outstanding charges against
this publication seem to be made by
; the women of the university, who
Court exhibit “A” to be used
against Krier: it shows a contented
university student ofter a happy
evening at Obak’s at a friendly game
of pool. It is alleged that the Krier |
is largely responsible for these acts;
and that this particular man broke:
a date after reading last week ’s issue. I
charge that the paper not only has
been a factor in keeping the men's
lime occupied in such a manner that
they are not spending sufficient time
in “pigging.” Further the charge
has been made that the Krier has
been responsible for much of the
anti-leap year propaganda that has
been floating around the campus, and
that as a result of this publicity
many of the women are failing to
make sufficient progress.
So startling have been these ac
cusations that the Krier board of
directors has not yet made ready tc>
answer the file against them. The
Krier’s side of the story will be ex
pressed in our next issue.

relief from both ills at Obak’s Kol
