1. Russian boots are beautiful!
And it came to pass that many co
eds wore Russian boots with fuzzy
tops to conceal large ankles. They
were supposed to be ornamental.
Better the ankles.
2. The students aren’t what they
used to be! Meditate deeply. What
will you say ten years hence when
you return to the campus. There is
no such thing as progress—in such
matters f
* * *
3. Rising standards! And it came
about that all agreed that the stand
ards day by day rose higher and
higher. Tt gave the poor students an
alibi, and tickled the ego of the
honor students.
4. Too many student activities cause
that tired feeling! And it also cams
to pass that Bean Byment and a few
others believed that too many activ
ities and underclass societies caused
all the grief. What about the hectic
whirl?

5. The inter-fraternity council does
things! The Tongs met in dignified
council to solve weighty matters.
Each feared the other—except one or
two—and nothing was said.
* • •
6. Students permit sentiment to
Tale their pocketbooks! A voice
spoke from the wilderness, “Student
to student! Help our starving child
ren!” And the voice was unheeded.
7. The pipe courses are all gone!
And some of the professors had
faint hearts, and did not clamp down
the lid. And they are very well
known.
O.A.C. Wrestlers
Win from Varsity

to whether the hold was barred or
not but Referee Tliyo ruled the hold
legal. In the second bout Chatham
started out. strong by getting a fig
ure four scissors on Nixon, but the
visitor managed to break out and
after a short session of fast grap
pling the varsity man was put to the
mat in 4 minutes and 10 seconds,
succumbing to an arm lock.
Robertson of Oregon lost two de
cisions to Selfridge of O. A. C. at
145 pounds. Tn the first bout the
two welterweights were on their feet
for 5 minutes. The O. A. C. grap
pler, however, managed to put the
varsity man to the mat and was on
top, which earned him the decision.
In the second bout Selfridge started
out the aggressor, although most
of the wrestling was done on their
feet. The visitor tried several times
to use the wristlock, but Robertson
managed tn break it.
The match between French of Ore
gon and Heston of O. A. ('., 158
pounds, was the fastest bout of the
card while it lasted. Although lies-1
ton won the first fall in four min-I
utes and fifty-six seconds, the match
was filled with action and kept the
fans on their feet. French had *he
visitor looking bad several times, out
somehow Heston managed to break
out and put French’s shoulder to the

man won by a head and arm scissors.
The second bout went two minutes
and fortv-two seconds, until an arm
and head scissor decided it.
Robin Reed of O. A. C., who weighs
near 140 pounds, took Wells, 175
pounder of Oregon, into camp by win
ning a decision and a tall. Althougu
Reed was outweighed 55 pounds ho
probably applied every hold known in
the wrestling game in the first bout,
but could not put Well’s shoulders
to the mat. When in the standing
position Reed would go for Well's
legs and put him to the mat. Wells
took a good deal of punishment in
this bout. Tn the second bout Reed
used a fake trick to put Wells off
balance, but it did no damage. Wells
managed to get n head scissors on
Reed, but he could not put his light -r
opponent to the mat. \fter wrest
ling four minutes and thirty eight se
conds Reed put Wells down with an
arm scissors and arm lock.
Ted Thve, world’s light heavy
weight champion, refereed the meet.

Through the medium of a letter
which is being sent out by Dan E.
Clark, member of the extension
faculty and secretary of the Oregon
High School Debate league, the 81
members of the league are being
notified of the debate, and some
thing of its importance. Extracts
from the letter follow:
“A dramatic and significant de
bating event, which will be of par
ticular interest to members of the
league, will take place from eight
to ten o’clock Friday evening,
February 29. This will be a radio
debate between the University of
Oregon and the University of Cali
fornia, on the subject of the Bok
peace plan.
“In case you have available re
ceiving sets, your teams and prob
ably a large part of your student
body will no doubt wish not only
to listen in, but to write down
their individual decisions on post
cards and mail them to the radio
directors.
May Start Movement
“This is the first radio debate
to be held, and men regard it as
one of tlie most significant pro
gram innovations since the adop
tion of radio. It will no doubt start
a great movement in the direction
of radio discussion. People sitting
by their own firesides will be able
to get both sides of public ques
tions; informative pros and cons
may be taken from the air, and
statesmen of opposing views will
talk to a common audience from
platforms thousands of miles apart.
“The debates waged by Demos
thenes and Aeschines, Webster and
Haynes, Lincoln and Douglas, and
nil the famous forensic duels of the
past never reached so vast an audi
ence ns will hear this inter-col
leginte contest.”
Speaking of the Oregon coach’s
part in the working out of the plans
and arrangements, Alfred Powers
of the extension division says:
“Mr. Rosson has worked hard on
this matter. He has written numer
ous letters, he has wired, and ho has
made a special trip to Portland to
see Mr. Haller personally. His en
thusiasm and willingness to take
on this extra burden while working
with the regular debate teams has
been splendid.”

“All God’s Chi lun Got Wings.”
Well, that’s at least a question—
and the title of Eugene O’Neil’s
new play in the February “Ameri
can Mercury.” \Vell worth looking
into, the play; although its prob
lem is one that scarcely has more
than an occasional bearing on uni
versity life—whether black and
white shall marry, and whether, if
they do, they’ll get along in charm
ing and untroubled serenity.
O’Neil’s answer is that the color
combination is too often unf.ir
funate, both biologically and in
terms of individual happiness—
But “Why” is the problem, which
is not easily answerable. O’Neil
places his sympathy with the blacks.
A drama that might be described
as “powerful” had not too many
unfortunate applications made that
word meaningless. Wo might sug
gest, in connection with this same
problem, an old ballad: “My Coal
Black Baby.”
Of Edwin ’ Markham, Colonel
Hofer writes in the recent issue of
The Lariat: “Can you imagine the
old white-headed ‘Man With the
Hoe’ poet wading through the latest
volume of sex-fiction prodigy?
Watch the mental and moral be
wilderment come into his pathetic
eyes and hear him ask, and has our
Puritan-minded nation indeed come
to this as a result of our boasted
systems of education and our com
plete separation of church and state,
morality and citizenship?” Edwin
Markham is an old man, the last
survivor of dear and dead tradition.
There is something droll and piti
able about a man who refuses to
die with his generation.

A tale “told by an idiot”—true,
of course. But in that case, there’s'
a flaw in the logic that will per
mit the expenditure of so many
words in its reiteration, and in
pointing out the non significandum
of the “sound and fury.” Although
working under the handicap of a
certain piquancy of style, Rose Mc
Cauley has managed to achieve a
really subtle effect of realism by
making her particular rendition of
the tale almost as uninteresting as, j
by her thesis, life itself is supposed
to be.
