Dick’s Men <<rJ''HE MEN are all starting out strong, with plenty of dash and verve. The old spirit is going to be kept up, too, and Oregon will have one of the hardest fighting teams in its history by the opening game next fall.” So said Oregon's new football coach, Dick Smith, Monday evening, after the first day of spring practice. , There was a good turnout the first*day, for all were inter ested to see their new mentor, and find out first hand “how he worked.” From the rapidity with which “Dick” had things organized it seems certain that it won’t be long before the shoe is on the other foot and Smith is determining how the squad ‘works.” Smith is an advocate of work, hard work, and more work. This principle is not applied solely to the men. Example counts. Smith believes in the coaches working, too. So the “gang” out on the field this spring, coaches and men alike, are going to hang up their motto, and keep it hanging Avhere it can’t be forgotten—“Work, hard work, and more work.” The “work idea” sounds promising. This is the season when interest is centered on basketball. It is rather a long time in advance to predict anything about next year’s football. Nevertheless, Smith’s words, “Oregon will have one of the hardest fighting teams in its history by the opening game next fall,” has a determined ring and augurs well for success. _ The Oregon student body will help make the next season a success. It will be a hard fighting student body. It is behind Dick Smith. Already, the song is sung, “We’ll give a long cheer for Dick’s men. . .” Will The Faculty Please Look? ■y^lTlI the library so entirely outgrown by the increased stu dent body, the question of securing books for study is growing more serious day by day. In some eases there is ouly one copy of a desired volume, and when it is out, one must sign for it, and then wait the month, or week, or whatever the length of time it may be, until the book is available. Often by that time the desire, or need, to read the volume is no more. Of course, the student lias the satisfaction of knowing that now the book is his for the asking. On the other hand,, what if a member of the faculty has the book? Courtesy is extended to all instructors by the library, and no time limit is placed on books taken out by them. The only check is made at the end of each term, when the professors are asked to renew the volumes, thirds show that books have been out for at least two years in some instances. One student recently tried in vain to secure a book taken out by a faculty member that was due on October 2. 11)24, four months previous. This seeming lack of interest on the part of some of the faculty is most regretable. Will they please look through their bookcases, on the pantry shelves, under the library table, any place, and return all “forgotten, dust-covered library books that they may find. o Anyone may be a weather prophet these days. No need to have rheumatism and feel damp weather via the aching joints. No need to dampen the finger and hold it into the breeze. No need to own it barometer, or even read one. Just predict cold winds and much rain and bow acknowledgement of success. The tradition committee just appointed “will look up the history of various traditions and recommend which shall re main.” The tradition committee has a “sweet job.” The “Dime Crawl” has come out into the daylight. Men1 bring their partners. The dance is this afternoon. The pur pose is worthy. Vagaries By J. D. Do you remember the last hours that we met? The twilight road, the long hori zon climbing; A wind that breathed of rose and mignonette; The vespers chiming? | High on the crag where towers the riven pine We ambled, while burned to ash the sunset’s amber; Your hands were chilled, I cradled them in mine. Do you remember? 11 breathed the words long inarticu 1, late; Warm in your eyes I saw the an swer burning; And while I bid farewell, you swore to wait For my .returning. And I? I swore to be forever true. By all youth’s oaths, mad, im prudent— Can you recall? Yes, darn it all! You do. I hoped you wouldn’t. Did you ever stop to ponder in the seething throng, How the semblance ’twit the autos and the women is so strong? There goes one, aristocratic. | How she struts with haughty weight! [Does she not remind you slightly of the stately Super Eight? There’s another, rather heavy; See the crowds before her duck! All the right of way she’s taking; She reminds you of a truck. Now comes one who’s nervous, jumpy; Rambles by you with a wiz; With her starting, skipping, fuming, Surely she’s a Human Liz. Women truly are like autos, Some are costly, some are free with their affection. Some are comfortable, some are cheap and true domestic mottoes. But we all can got the accomodat ing flivver; And so it gives our soul a little shiver When wo see the exclusive Rolls Cad—cold, audacious. | Editorially Clipped I <*>—-'-<& [ DR. MEIKLEJOHN AND THE COLLEGE EDUCATION Dr. Alexander Meiklejohn, form erly president of Amherst college and now nationally known as a lec turer and writer on the American collegiate system, said in his lecture in Sacramento last week that the imperfections of the American col lege are imperfections of America, because the college or university aims to interpret the life and spirit of the times. Then he went on to say that the college of tomorrow ' will come along with the America ■ of tomorrow. He said the univer sities and colleges of this country do not compare favorably with those of European countries, be cause in Europe the nations, espe ' ciallv England, France and Ger many, are mature, have well defined | purposes and the student is given | an opportunity for real education, ; because the objective for which the curriculum is planned are clear. European countries, he says, are mature—therein lies the influencing factor. The American collegiate system has developed to meet the needs of a young country. The American college graduate is turned out into the world supposedly equip ped to be a leader, a better citizen and able to apply the knowledge gained in school toward the mater ial development of the country. This system will be altered as the needs of the country for men who do material things slow up. With this change will come a change in the educated man until in years to come the graduate may fulfill the requirements of the educated man as Dr. Meiklejohn pictures him. With the change in the country may comp the failure of the lecture and elective system, but this system has been developed to fulfill the re quirements. The idea of the college of tomor row coming along with the America of tomorrow is perfectly natural. The course of a ship can be plotted, but the course of a developing country cannot be. Changing con ditions will bring changes in the educational system. Merely the fact that people are not satisfied with the system as it now is indicates change, for with dissatisfaction come development. — California Aggie.

Pity the poor professors who must ever leave their closing words a target for the fusillade from stu dent sharp-shooters. Seldom have the binders failed to do their deaf ening duty, and the harassed men : of letters must nod dismissal and pretend that the metallic uproar :s applause. It is not often that professors show real irritation at this conduct. They afford an example of patience i which should be rewarded with de- ! ceney on the part of the students, i Nothing is more disconcerting than to address a sea of bobbing heads and a storm of note book protests. : Conclusions are the most essential ! parts of the lectures. Anyway they j are priceless to the majority of pen ' j pushers who have been so fortunate | j as to have slept through the drag- I ! ging minutes, but who always stage i I a glorious rally for the final “nut j shell.” Many professors have real j ized that the last words will be an nihilated and so they have ceased to deliver the comprehensive con clusion. As a result the ending of the lectures become disjointed phrases, leaving the lecturers obvi ously ill at ease if the expected noise—in a strange moment of apathy—does not ensue. Some of us “just can’t be bothered” for the last few minutes. Preparations are made for flight. Noses are powdered, matches and cigarettes are borrowed, and the unconditional surrender of the pro fessors is a signal to stampede.
