Entered as second class matter at the post office at Eugene, Oregon, under act
of Congress of March 3, 1879.
‘ONIGHT marks the opening of this year’s A. S. U. O. con
cert series, with the appearance of Guy Maier and Lee Pat
tison, dual pianists.
The 1925 concert program has a standard already set for it
by past seasons, including such artists as Anna Case and Salvi.
The student body may well stop and ask itself: what place has
music been given at the University of Oregon? One may also
ask: what is the future of music in the University’s traditions?
Freshmen will tonight, for the first time, realize that they
can be admitted to a concert on the same student body ticket
which admits them to a football or basketball game. They will
realize that music has a part to play—officially.
Behind the machinery which made possible this easy admit
tance to the concert lay a genuine appreciation of music as an
art. The idea was developed that concerts were a necessary
part of education; that pleasure of this type had a refining, a
cultural significance. Presently an amendment to the student
body constitution was passed, providing an allotment from reg
istration fees to make these musical entertainments possible on
a soigid financial basis. And all this is within the space of a
senior’s memory.
It is by means such as this that education on the broad and
wholesome scale of a state university can be given that “sweet
ness and light” which one seeks in the old world cultures. It
is one with a development of certain tastes. And it is one of
the blessed examples of the luxury becoming a : ecessity.
Anyone who happened to make the trip around Fairmount
loop Sunday via tin* streetcar was perhaps impressed by the
fact that several of the conductors and their ladies were enjoy
ing a holiday ride. It sets one pondering as to how a professor
spends his Sundays.
There are no rules for women at Baylor University. One of
the things considered “improper,” however, is “leaving candy
and cake in rooms because it encourages mice.” This younger
generation. . . .

A few of the nights have been so beautiful lately that—
well—freshmen have a way of standing under the stars for sev
eral seconds and wishing from the bottom of their hearts that
summer would hurry up. And that, when it did come, every
night would be moon lit. (.That is what is meant by “wishing
for the moon.” Some people have been in the habit of taking
the phrase too literally.)

A professor of psychology was the other day discussing me
diums and investigations made into the workings of spiritual
istic phenomena. “Now listen,” he commanded, throwing one
arm out dramatically to emphasize the point he was about to
make—and the class bell vigorously pealed the end of the hour.
Was that prophecy or coincidence?

Now Professor Daniel Kilham
Dodge of the University of Illinois
is convinced, after many years of
thought, that Lincoln did not write
the immortal Gettysburg address
impromptu-ly, as we might sav.
And to think that for all these
years we have believed that Lincoln
wrote the piece while riding on a
railroad train. Could have sworn
that he did indeed.
How do the persons who wield
these wicked hammers expect us
ever to have any American tradi
tions? As soon as we build up a
charming legend, they go and break
it down. Soon we shall be told, by
someone who has investigated the
matter, that Herr Van Winkle did
not sleep exactly twenty years, and
that Nathan Hale never made that
enviable mot about his life and his
country.

concern themselves too often with
destroying legends that amount to
nothing. The fact that Abe wrote
“four score and seven years ago”
in his study and not on the train
does not detract from the excellence
of the article. But what did Lin

TO FRESHMEN FIVE
Freshmen and seniors came out
vietors in the women 'a interelass
basketball games last night. This
exactly reverses the situation as it
stood last Friday night at the elose
of the first two games of the series
and leaves eaeli class with a total
score of one toward winning the
cup.
The senior-junior game, which
ended .1(5-19. was exceptionally fast
from the first whistle. In the first
half, the senior team established an
overwhelming lead. Grace Sulli
van, the senior forward, shot 9
baskets and Wilma Manley .1, while
the senior guards held the juniors
down to 2 goals apiece.
Tn the second half. Mildred On
slow. junior forward shot basket for
basket with Grace Sullivan, leaving
the senior team at the end of the
half, ahead by one point. The jun
iors were materiallv handicapped
by vaccinations. Mildred Onslow,
forward, and Wanda Plincz, center,
on the junior team were unable to
do justice to their real ability be
cause of vaccinations at a serious
stage in the process of “taking.”
The freshman second team de
feated the sophomore second team
“0 to IS. This is the closest game
of the series so far. The majority
of baskets were made in the first
half. T.illian T,odors, sophomore
forward, was the high point player
of the two teams leading Florence
Grebe, freshman forward, by one
point. The half ended 14-1.1 to the
credit of the freshman.
Captains for the remaining teams
were elected as follows: freshman
second team, Fleanot; Glass; sopho
more second team. Ronn Williams:
junior first team. Wanda Plincr;
senior first team, Mildren Crain.

TOPIC FOR DEBATERS
HAS NATIONAL SCOPE
—
Triangle Meet is Largest
For Oregon This Year
The question for discussion in the
Washington-Idaho Oregon triangle
debate, to be held Thursday, Feb
ruary 12, is one of great national
importance at the present time, says
Oscar E. Brown, debate coach.
The topic is, Resolved: “That the
constitution should be so amended
to enable Congress to re-enact by a
two-thirds vote, legislation over
ruled by the Supreme Court.”
j Under existing conditions, the Su
j preme Court has the power to over
i rule bills passed by Congress. The
case of the Child Labor problem
was mentioned by Mr. Brown as
an example of legislative function
ings. At two different periods this
bill was passed by Congress and
j each time ruled down by the Su
preme Court.
The reasons, he states, for the
8,1Kges.ti°n of changes in the pres
ent methods is because Congress is
in closer contact with the citizens.
Furthermore congressmen are elect
ed for short periods, while Su
preme Court appointments extend
for life.
“These are a few of the reasons,”
said Mr. Brown, “which explain the
popularity of the subject for de
bate. This question has been used
I by a number of universities for de
bating this year.”
There is also an element of 5m
portanee connected with it, as La
| Follette made use of it as an issue
I in his presidential campaign.
The topic is similar in most re
spects to the case of the O. A. C.
debate last month. Certain points,
however, have been strengthened
and almost entirely worked over.
The Oregon affirmative team
composed of Benoit McCrosky and
Ralph Bailey will uphold their
case against the Idaho negative
group in Villard hall. Sol Abram
son and Lincoln Erwin, the nega
tive section, will meet the Univer
sity of Washington affirmative at
Seattle.
Seventeen minutes will be al
lowed each debater for his con
structive speech and 7 minutes for
rebuttal.
“This is the greatest debate of
the season for Oregon,” Mr. Brown
said. “All the men participating
have had previous experience as
varsity debaters.”
