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.

[ 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. This
behavior in the classroom cannot be
