Two Leaders
'T'HE ADMINISTRATION of a great educational institution
is a task presenting many vexing and often seemingly un
solvable problems,—a task which places a tremendous strain
on vitality and on enthusiasm.
The president of a university, or of a college, dedicates his
life to the cause of attempting to instill, or to awaken in a large
number of students, often numbering thousands, a desire for
education, a desire to know what life is and “what life is for,
and what each, as an individual, can do to work out a life of
greatest service and happiness.
If this task were simply to stand before a group of pupils
and “talk at” them with the optimism that perhaps a few
would become awakened and feel a stir within their minds ulti
mately leading to the disclosure that all roads of the Universe
are not paved and are not clearly marked with sign posts de
noting their destinations, this task might often become bore
some, possibly even discouraging, but not totally exhausting.
The chief executive of an institution like the University of
Oregon or Oregon Agricultural College is confronted with a
far more difficult situation than that. Ilis organization is a
vast one, it must necessarily have a number of purely adminis
trative officers, and others not directly concerned with class
work, and from its very size and complexity it must be ponder
ous and lumbering. Added to this initial inertia there is the
tearing strain of attempting to supply adequate equipment
from an inadequate purse. Like the proverbial camel’s back,
there comes a time when ono too many straws is added to the
load.
Thus, both our own President Campbell, and President Kerr,
of O. A. C., are at the present time endeavoring to regain health
and vitality which have become impaired from unselfish devo
tion to the difficult cause of education. Such sacrifice they
would probably deny, claiming that knowledge of work well
done far outweighs the penalty of ill-health.
Whether we agree or not matters little, but we do care that
they should have the additional reward contained in the know
ledge that their work is appreciated and that we hope they will
soon be able to return with the joy of renewed strength to
assume the work which is dearest to their hearts.
The First Test
rF'IIE VARSITY basketball team tomorrow night meets, in
1 the first fracas of the year, the Willamette University
quintet. The game will be called at 7 :30 sharp, and the largest
crowd that ever witnessed an Oregon basketball game should
be at the Armory.
The game will undoubtedly be one of the hardest of the
year, and the varsity lias no more than an even break to win it.
The Willamette players are seasoned veterans, and they have
been practicing for some time. In basketball they always hold
their own in the Northwest conference.
The entire student body should be at the game for two
reasons—the first is that the team needs the support, and the
second is that it will hi’ one of the best hoop games ever seen
here.
Fritz Leiber
««'T'0 BE, or not to be,—that is the question—”
The words are immortal in classical English. They are
known to everyone. The man in the streets says them. High
school students study them. Indeed, they are so well known
just as words that few persons stop to consider that their utter
ance meant the summing up of the fatality of existence, the
contemplation of death, and the eternal riddle.
On Saturday night the Shakespearean play, “Hamlet,” is
to be presented in Eugene. The Bible and Shakespeare have
for long been named first among the gmtt cultural factors. To
those who have taken four years out ot their lives as a prepar
ation for tiie rest of it, the opportunity to hear Shakespeare
presented adequately will not go unheeded.

WRESTLING ASPIRANTS
TRAINING FOR SEASON
Holds Being Taught Squad;
Meets Scheduled
With only a month remaining be
fore the opening of the wrestling
season, Coach Earl Widmer has ar
ranged a stiff training period for
the varsity wrestling aspirants. Al
though no definite team has been
chosen, about 20 men have been
working out regularly for a place
on the team.
For the next four weeks the
squad will be taught the various
holds used in wrestling. All the men
are rounding into condition and
from the showing made by many
of the grapplers, the coach pre
dicts a strong varsity team. In
choosing a team Widmer has three
lettermen: Ford, Whitcomb and
I Wells, who are showing up well.
, Davis, a member of the frosh team
.several years 'ago, is back on the
mat and is making a strong bid
for a varsity berth.
From last years’ frosh team there
are several promising wrestlers,
among whom are Leavitt, Wingard,
Woods, Fakuda, and Christensen.
Laurs, who was a member of the
frosh team last year, will not be
able to compete this year, because
of a arm that was injured in the
past season, and is still in a weak
condition.
Other members of the squad that
are turning out regularly are Heck,
Jones, Kerns, Miller, Powell, Wil
liams, Sumption, Johnson, Grant and
Cartwright. Cartwright, who is a
light heavyweight, formerly was a
member of the' W. S. C. wrestling
team.
The first intercollegiate wrestl
ing meet is with the University of
Idaho, February 7, at Eugene. A
week later, February 14, the strong
O. A. C. will tackle the varsity
here. On the 28th Oregon will
journey to Corvallis for a return
meet with the sister institution.
The final meet will be with W. S.
C. here on March 7. It is probable
that a meet wTill be arranged with
the University of Washington at
Seattle.

Y.M.C.A. REPORT SHOWS
EMPLOYMENT IT EBB
Improvement in Situation Is
Expected Soon
The employment department of
the campus Y. M. C. A. was able to
offer half as much work last term
to men in the University as during
the whole preceding year, there
seemed to be more students who
were in need of employment.
The local bureau is in a slow per
iod now as there are comparatively
few jobs available.
This condition is very similar to
that of all the large cities in which
the Y. M. C. A. has employment de
partments, according to the annual
report issued by the Portland Y.
M. C. A. The labor situation was
the worse yet during the month of
December. It is much the same way
with the local employment depart
ment. There is a good deal of work
to be done, but there are too many
men to do it.
Cities of Los Angeles, Oal.;
Cleveland, O.; San Francisco, Cal.;
Chicago, 111.; and Duluth, MJinn.;
according to the report of the Port
land Y. M. C. A. employment de
partment, are expecting the labor
i situation to improve if it has not
already done so.
The trend of employment all
over the country seems to be on
the "upgrade after the serious de
pression of the past two or three
months.
With the coming of warmer
weather and the approach of spring,
Mrs. C. R. Donnelly, employment
secretary of the University is hop
ing for more positions open for the
students in and about Eugene.
