THE VAESITY and the students of the University of Ore gon are going over to Corvallis today to beat O. A. C. Quoting the sticker^ that are plastered about the campus and Eugene, Oregon is going over to “Bust the Beavers. The big rally last night proved that. After Washington had been here Homecoming there was printed in many papers, and many letters were received from “Husky” students, praising Oregon for the wonderfully cour teous spirit shown as host. And Oregon students felt in return that Washington had shown itself a pleasing, a most sports manlike guest. When we go over to Corvallis today to “Bust the Beavers” let us remember that that “busting” is going to be done on Bell field and it is the Varsity which has that privilege. We are going over to watch it do that little stunt, and we are going to help by hacking it up from the stands, but we are not going to do it by indulging in any hostilities ourselves. We showed Washington what sort we are as hosts; let us not spoil that reputation and that respect by proving ourselves unworthy to be called true and sportsmanlike guests as well as sportsmanlike hosts. Spirit and competition and the team fight which results we must have; hate and uncontrolled antagonism, no.—D. L. W. Types vs. Individuals “1Z EEPING the student busy at his highest natural level of achievement,” the slogan advocated by Dean C. E. Sea shore of the University of Iowa, a recent campus visitor, is perhaps the most concrete statement of the modern trend of education—the trend which Woodrow Wilson foresaw while president of Princeton University and which cost Alexander Meiklejohn his presidency of Amherst college. Though these instances would indicate that the ancient censure visited upon advanced thought of any age is still with us, it seems inevitable from present indications that overwhelming approval of the great majority of modern educators will gradually drown out the insistent cries of the ‘‘old school” advocates. , In a late issue of the New York Times, announcement is made that the University of Michigan has recently installed a permanent university fellow of letters whose work will be to encourage and assist those students who show special ability in writing. Robert Frost, a New England poet, has been selected for the permanent position by Marion U Burton, president of the University, after having acted in that capacity for the past two years. Mr. Frost is a writer of some note, having received the Pulitzer prize at one time for his book of verse. It is a significant fact that previous to his work at Michigan Mr. Frost was engaged as professor of literature at Amherst— that institution which derives particular fame from the achieve ments of Meiklejohn. In the addition of Mr. Frost to its faculty rostrum, Michi gan has taken a definite step towards accomplishing those ends which Meiklejohn and Wilson so earnestly hoped for. Namely —the education of the individual rather than the standardizing of a type. Other colleges of the country will doubtless follow and within a few years—we are almost envious when we think of the possibilities of the future generations. One of our greatest of scientists once said “if l might have one wish, I should like to return to earth one hundred years from now just to see and marvel at the advances made in science.” The same will doubtless be true of education.—M. L. M. BUREAU OF RESEARCH WILL SERVE SCHOOLSj Service is the basis upon which the education bureau and thu bur eau of research are operated, ac cording to Dr. Homer P. Rainey, under whose leadership the new policy was effected. Letters were issued to all super intendents of first class high schools, county and city superin tendents during the past week. The purpose of the bureau now, as nn nounced in the letters, is to serve as a consultant in helping the schools to solve problems which arise. Information, such as what tests are best in given situations, what various tests are used for, and how the test data may be used in improving instructions, will be sent to any school which asks for it. Advise will be given in regard to courses of study, textbooks, school organization, reading lists in given fields, and the grouping and classification of students. Campus Bulletin Notices will be printed in this column for two issues only. Copy must be in this office by 5 iSO on the day before it is to be published, and must be limited to 20 words.

Big chicken tamales, hot meat sandwiches, lots of coffee and cocoa and whatever else you want will make a big^party at Frank Fay Eddy’s Open Letter Thfc Secend WHICH GOD? In my letter of last Saturday I suggested that any person’s religious expression depended fundamentally on what he con ceived his place in the universe to be. , We see this more plainly when we think a little about the kind of gods he mentally fashions, for his god or gods reflect his ideas of the reigning forces in his particular kind of a uni verse. There is not space in these brief letters to trace this idea out through the myth-making and the god-making of human history but it has been patiently and thoroughly done by modern scholars. My purpose Is limited to present-day conceptions. Chris tianity took form and shape in minds that regarded the earth as flat, as being created and governed by direct intervention of gods. ..I say gods, because early in Christianity the idea of the evil god or the devil became strong and soon Jesus was trans formed into the god, Christ. For the early Christian, and for most Christians even yet, the universe is man-centered. A great institution called the Church came quite naturally into power to exercise authority and direct the earthly career' of Christians in such a manner as to win the approval of the great and good God and thwart the designs of the evil god, the devil, and a collection of writings, borrowed from the Jews largely, was canonized and made authority in all matters of theology or in other words in all matters of philosophy so far as Christians were concerned.. Need I say, something has happened to this universe. It has faded and vanished from the minds of at least that minority who have accepted the findings of science and interpret the uni verse in the light of a new set of facts. Astronomy has spoken and shown system upon system and suns and planets beyond estimation; geology has revealed the ages of the past; the history of man has lengthened into dim and shadowy inter glacial periods; the psychology of living types throws light on the intellectual evolution of our kind. All this makes the uni verse over in contrast with the views held by the Christians of the past. It is no logger for us a man-centered universe. Human his tory is but an episode on a minor planet. Science is not religion but science determines the kind of a universe in which we may philosophize and worship, or, in other words, fashion our religion. What then is the God reganant in this kind of a universe? Is it force? Have we found in the new physics' that God is electricity? It may be that in the mysterious force which we call electricity we have indeed found the physical manifestation of God but if so it must be electricity plus mind, we are bound to think because we have minds and because we do think. So we have not lost God, merely lost some images of Him. • The single point I would make is this: If you live in this universe, I mean mentally inhabit such a universe, soon or late, you must refashion the god central in it somewhat after the lines • suggested above, which is the conception of Unitarians and other religious liberals. In another letter I shall try to suggest how we can retain that mysticism which is the life of religion in worship of such a God of such a universe. 0 PATRONIZE EMERALD ADVERTISERS Obak’s Kollege Krier OBAK Wallace, Publisher W. R. L., Editor Volume 4 SATURDAY, A. M. Number 7 MYSTERIOUS F10FP8INTS FOUND Yellow Sheet Appears The editor of Obak’s is com pletely at a loss to solve the mys terious appearance of a dumb poster which was circulated in the night by some careful prowler. Several explanations have been of fered and reasonable clues found but the case is not cleared up yet. Obak's private detective found ; strange yellowish foot prints which he declares were made by O. A. C. feet. Also members of Obak’s col lege say the sheet is typical of the O. A. O. “Fighting Spirit” which has such a reputation. However, the contents, spelling and general make up of the poster indicate that it is the work of some small town high school in an attempt at a practical joke. The associated edi tors of high school papers, on the other hand have filed a complaint saying that no high school would stoop, to such low and unsophisti cated methods. Will Not Shave??? Obak’s enterprising reporter has ! just returned from the cow pasture with word that the O. A. C. yokels i have foolishly resolved not to shave until after they have beaten Oregon. This decision was made at a student body meeting of the cow college last Monday morning and is being rigidly enforced. From all appearances the poor boys will have to weaken or else it will be a pretty ticklish time for the co-eds. New Yell and Slegan Created Obak’s college has held an ex tensive contest in an effort to find a good slogan and yell for the com ing brawl with the farmers. The committee has awarded the prizes of season tickets to Obak’s to the following “Tents these O. A. C. Gents,” wins the first prize for slogans while the new yell which carried off the honors is as follows: Oh-h-h Me, Oh-h-h My! Won’t we black that Beaver’s eye, Won’t he weep, Won’t he wail, When we twist that Beaver's tail. Obak's rooter’s section will exe cute this new cheer today at ex actly 1:30. After the Yokels are shown their place come in and talk it over at Obak's College Club. There will be a general jolification and pool rally. HAZEL DEAR: Exciting is the word, for yon know our team plays the Aggies at Corvallis this week-end. All of us girls are going over to the game on the student special, so we bought immense “mums” at the University Florist, because we want to display our colors. As our room was somewhat chilly on these rainy days, we got an electric heater at White’s Electric Shop. It gives off a great deal of warmth, and the steady red glow giver a cheerful atmosphere to the room. An other feature of it is that it takes up so little room, and we can carry it from place to place. In that way, we have the heat er just where we want it. The Style Shop is having a one half special on all velvet hate this , week. Margot went down and 1UU11U BCVCliU VCl^ ucuuuuug hats. She selected a small one of grey velvet trimmed in scar let. It’s very chic looking over her blond curls. Peg and I are going down to look them over this afternoon. Skeies are getting in their Christmas stock of lovely gifts. I saw a dresser set of ivory and amber which was so good look ing. The idea of combining the two is very new. I hope some one who wishes to give me a beautiful gift sees this. I can’t think of anything I would rath er have. I’ve got something that I con sider a real find. It’s a Norida vanity for loose powder which the Bed Cross Drug store car ries. It is the same size as the usual vanity case and the loose powder is kept in its compart ment by a sifter top which may be opened as needed, thereby al lowing the powder to sift out on one’s puff. The charm of the thing is Being able to i^se one’s favorite powder and fill the case indefinitely. Loose powder is so much better for the- skin than is the compact sort. Tollman’s studio is doing some fine work on the pictures that the girls in the house have had taken there. I sent several of the ones I had finished home. Mother was delighted with them. She quite approves of my idea of using them as gifts this year. ii!iii!iiiiuiiiiiii!'iiiiiiiii!iiini!iui:iiiiimiiHiLiiiiilimi'i:inmiinmilimmiiiwiHiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiinmiiiiiniimi!iiniiiililllimimHUW!iiitimu iiiinimi!iuiHimiHiiiimiimumimiiimHiiMiiHiiui!inmiiiiniiniiiiiimiimiiLHimtmHmmiimiimnniiiinniiiiiHimiHiiimH!iBiminiiBimnmai Shaggy hair would S. never do at the ' sophomore informal . —arid I have a date for it with a mar velous senior—so I \ went to Hasting iiiiiiiniiiiiiuniiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiuuiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiuini Sisters. One of the expert men that they employ gave me one of the hairline cuts which are so popular now. Ruth, as you know, is from Canada, so she is too far away to go home for Thanksgiving. She bought a box of Oregon grown waliwtB and one of prunes from Underwood and El liott’s grocery. These Oregon “treats” are neatly packed in attractive boxes, and are ready for shipping. They make sueh excellent gifts for one’s rela tives, that most of the girls have decided to get some to send to their parents. As our house mother is fond of plants, and coleus in particu lar, we got one at Raup’s Floral Shop for her birthday. The I leaves are multi-colored, as they | vary from yellow to a deep crim son. It is in a gilded split-bam boo basket which is decorated with flowers that harmonize per fectly with the foliage of the plant. Yes, Hazel, I shall telephone you as soon as my train arrives next Wednesday, for I shall be ever so happy to spend Thanks giving vacation with you.
