Daily News Editor This Issue Night Editor This Issue Doug Wilson Pete Laura Lulled to Sleep AT APPROXIMATELY this time last year much noise was heard on the local campus about the inroads being made upon the parochial school system by the foreign! demon known as “Oxforditis.” Certain western pilgrims had crusaded to the Holy Land of learning and had returned bearing the torch of intellectual freedom. Touching the torch to these sacred halls of learning they stood back and said, “Behold, a conflagration shall ensue!’’ The conflagration consisted of several sputters, a crackle, and some smoke. To be specific: in the opinion of the newly made cosmo polites, and other not so newly made, the University of Oregon was to become a real intellectual center. Pupils were to become students, and students scholars. All this to be brought about by the introduction of an unknown, foreign element into stu dent life called independent thinking and research. Instead of being herded in droves or being led by the nose, students were, with the proper guidance, to educate themselves. The system was started in some departments, and in cer tain it seems to maintain a foothold. In others it sickened and died. It has not swept over the institution, causing a revolu tion and a rebuilding. It has not even been carried to a con summation or given a fair trial by those of its adherents most eager for its adoption. What might be the trouble? Was the soil to be tilled too sterile, or were the tillers unskilled? Are university students Oregon students—incapable of receiving any other type of edu cation than the present orthodox brand, admittedly inferior? Will someone please speak up?—L. K. B, 'T'HE GREAT Shields game to be played Christmas is now an assured success in *every way. Thousands of tickets have been sold, which means that Tiny will now have every thing he needs to aid his recovery. One of the outstanding features of the affair is the fact that it is intercollegiate in every sense of the word. The will ing and eager cooperation that has been accorded by every in stitution in the Northwest means that football is a game that is now binding these colleges and universities together, not making them arch enemies, as in days of old. Another pleasing feature is the ready response from former football players. Almost every man that wore moleskins at some time between 1900 and the present time has volunteered to at least make a sjpirt in the game. That shows that they are generous, that they love football, and that they are willing to be of service to a brother of the gridiron. The game will make history in more ways than one. Let’s go! At 9 o’clock tomorrow morning seven students, all ol whom aspire to become Oregon s next representative at Oxford, will assemble before the judges at the University club in Portland. Each has devoted months of study in preparation for the oc casion, and since but one can receive the appointment, six must be satisfied with the reward which comes from work con scientiously done. Someone was heard to remark today: “if blue jeans for the sophomore men -why not suubonnets for the girls'/’’ CHAIRMAN APPOINTED FOR ORATION CONTEST At n meeting of the State Ora torical association held iu Salem last Saturday, it was decided to make the peace oration annual contest a permanent affair by np pointing a chairman to have charge of the work, Professor Fred Bale, of Albany college, was chosen to take over the work of organization. Other matters taken up by the college representatives at the meet ing were a proposed extempore speaking contest to be held at the same time as the Old Line oratory contest, apd a women’s oratory contest. Both were put aside for future decision. Dates for contests to bo hold next spring were decid ed definitely by the delegates. UTAH DENVER ATHLETIC RELATIONS TO BE RESUMED Denver University. — There will be a renewal of athletic relations between Denver university and Utah university after twelve years of inactivity between the two | schools.

Communications Lettera to the EMERALD from *tu dente and faculty members are welcomed, but must 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 reserves the right to reject communications. To the Editor: All students, and especially fresh men who may still be unfamiliar with tho examination customs of the University, are cautioned against bringing to examination rooms, during the December term finals, any books, notes, or other material extraneous to the examina tion. Only material prescribed by tho examiner for tho course should be brought. Frequently in the past students, although innocent of cheating, have come under suspicion, and have been reported to the Student Ad visory committee for trial, because they carelessly allowed notebooks, or sheets with notes, or textbooks to lie around their chairs. Cheating in examinations is strictly forbidden. Upon discovery and conviction of cheating in final examinations, the usual penalty is-' suspension or dismissal from the University. Several trials for im proper conduct in term quizzes and term work have been held recently. Fraternities are asked to impress the foregoing facts upon their freshmen members. John Straub, Chairman, Karl W. Onthank, Secretary, Student Advisory Committee.

One of the best musical pro ductions on American stage, o © O. E. CO. Tbi Garment Center BuiUings New York City "Towering Masses” WALTER M mason. Aretha. O Drawn by Hush Ferriss the new architecture expresses itself in great vig orous masses which climb upward into the sky with a pyramidal profile—gigantic, irregular, arresting. An earlier, conventional building on the near corner is overshadowed, engulfed in towering masses of the newer building which are prophetic of an architecture of the future which is vividly stimulating to the imagination. Certainly modern invention—modern engineering skill and organization, will prove more than equal to the de mands of the architecture of the future. OTIS ELEVATOR COMPANY Offices in all Principal Cities of the World award of $150. It was won last time by Claude Bobinson. The Beckmann prize of $100 is awarded under the same conditions as the Falling prize and is won by the second best oration. Lawrence Cook won in 1924.
