The ‘Why’ of the Climate
'JplIE OREGON climate ! According to the pedagogical barom
eter these days, climate might be considered that thing
which we haven’t “anything else but.” Except that professors
speak better English than that. They are human, too, for the
most part even when having grave suspicions that certain mem
bers of their classes are canoeing gleefully up the Mill Race or
floating blissfully down it.
But putting the climate on a basis of scientific investigation
has been the real problem faced by the University of Oregon
geology department. Praise is accorded to our geologists in an
editorial in The Sunday Oregonian for April 26, entitled “Cli
mate an Oregon Asset.” And the climate, quite aside from
mere “weather” comes in for its share of praise. We quote:
“The Oregonian has had occasion heretofore to comment on
the findings of various noteworthy scientists as to the relation
of climate to the progress of civilization, being moved thereto
by their singular unanimity of opinion that the most favorable
combination of conditions in the world are in all probability to
be found in the Pacific northwest. This view is fortified by a
scholarly review of the entire question in the current issue of
the Commonwealth Review of the University of Oregon, the
conclusion of which is particularly worth emphasis. ‘And last,’
the authors say, after summarizing the climatic aspects of life
in the state as a whole, ‘we should stop apologizing for our cli
mate, particularly our rain. In western Oregon it is our great
est asset.’ ”
The Oregonian further points out the value of determining
the influence of climate on racial characteristics, “which in
turn may in the long run be profoundly affected by material
prosperity.”
The University as a whole feels pride in her department
which is engaged in original research “in the field.”
A collection of paintings by artists of the Pacific North
west will be exhibited in the gallery in the Arts building next
week. It is being sent out by the Seattle Fine Arts society,
being the tenth annual one of its kind. Not only will it have
an interest to art lovers, but a local interest as well. There
has always been considerable scenery in Oregon, and now we
will be able to know who can paint it.
Professor Hugh E. Rosson, of the English department, de
clared that talking over a radio is much like speaking over a
telephone line where many subscribers are connected to one
central phone. Even so. But still, he may be glad that it isn’t
like the country lines where everyone is not only determined
to listen, but to talk. As for improving radio to that extent—
may heaven forbid!
The .(union Prom—how is it there are so many clever
juniors? At least that is what everyone will ask when the
much anticipated occasion really “occasions.” Arthur Gale,
the decorations chairman is living among color notes these days
—“rich tan, now, and deep blue.” And what kind of halberds
did they take to the Fourth Crusude?
Norman F. Coleman, president of Reed college, and for a
long time a leading spirit in the Loyal Legion of Loggers and
Lumbermen, had a real message for the student body in the}
Thursday assembly. Mr. Coleman emphasized the principles of
democracy—the discussion and understanding which are not
only the need of the majority but the protection for the minor-1
ity, which are the round table at which employer and employe
can meet. President Coleman knows from his wide experience
that pedagogy, too. must rest on the broad principles of
humanity.
Js it not incredible to believe that May Day is past without

WALTER EVANS KIDD
USES SOME BIO WORDS
My Dear Editor:
After profound cogitation over
the intrinsic essence of Martha
Hennley’s epistle in last Sat
urday’s Emerald I deduce that
her paltry computation of colleg
ians in criterions of metaphysical
irony and chaste ostentation ap
pears impregnanted with fallacious
eruc.ration. Miss Hennley should
apprehend that the ambiguous
mediocrity and idiosyncraticaii pro
crastination of each campus entity
idemnify themselves by actuating
the perpetuity of Oregon tradition
alism that takes no cognizance of
acquiescence»to transcendental com
plaisance. Religion should con
trive scientific amalgamations to
ameliorate our materialistic pro
pinquity without plagiarizing our
intellectual fluctuations and ster
eotyping our prerersive superfluity
of emotional flamboyance. We com
prehend that our inarticulate and
resonant hilarity adumbrates a salt
ant caricature. Miss Hennley,
please do not revile our adoles
cence—vituperative, contumelious
and capricious it may seem—for
maturity will soon disillusion us.
Sincerely,
WALTER EVANS KIDD.
YES, THIS IS THE
FISHING SEASON!
Dear Editor:
A “tearful and devout” corres
pondent in Saturday’s Emerald
voted in favor of the “darling”
Saturday class movement on the
ground that it would Jessen the
manifestation of Jazzmania among
the students. And credit for this
social reform is given “the teach
ers"—bless their heavy, jazzless
feet and Godly hearts!!! The spirit
of plain country bumpkinism is so
apparent in this and the former
scripts by the same author that
many of us are turning Missour
ian. We think we scent the odour
; of fish in the air but, this being
the fishing season, perhaps that is
I a natural default. Mr. Edtor, please
j oblige the reading public with an
I early introduction to the lady!

CAMPUS FORD RACE
BANNED BY FACULTY
Budding careers as knights of
the roaring road were abruptly
clipped when the faculty opposed
the “campus wreck” races last
Saturday afternoon.
With the half-mile county fair
grounds track worked into condi
tion and the cars tuned up to their
highest speed, the student drivers
found themselves liable to disci
plinary action of the faculty if ;
they participated in the race.
Because of the type of track, the j
quality of the cars, and the inex- |
perience of the drivers. Dean H. j
Walker, student advisor, regarded
the affair equally hazardous as i
that of shooting the rapids in the \
river.

FROSH TEAM SHOWS
DECIDED IMPROVEMENT
First Game te Be Played
With Rooks May 16 ._!
“They are hitting much better,”
was one of the first statements
given ont by Coach Bill Sorsby
when asked how the freshman team
was progressing. This fact has
been proved in the last two games
with the varsity as the sqnad seems
to have found their batting eye.
The batterymen have been given
a chance to workout the past week
and with the hot weather, are fast
rounding into form. Pitchers show
ing up good are: Bill Baker, Alfred
Pries, George Majovski and Bill
Bamber. The men doing the best
work behind the windpad are John
Caughell and Bob Hemmings. The
infield is still a big problem as it
is a toss up between Fred Zeebuyth
and Hugh Wallace at first. Two
men, William Mathison and Clif
ford Kuhn, are fighting it out for
second. Hanley at short and Mc
Allister at third, have apparently
cinched their positions. Accord
ing to the coach, the surplus of in
fielders may be shifted to the outer
gardens.
Several games were played with
the local high schools last week
but a more strenuous Vcrkout will
be in order this week. One of the
squads under the direction of
Arleigh Bead, who has been acting
as assistant to Sorsby, has been
playing good ball against Univer
sity high in several practice games.
Bead has been having good suc
cess with his men.
The final schedule of the Frosh
Book games are as follows: May 16,
at Corvallis; May 22, 2:36 p. m.,
here; May 23, 10 a. m., here; and
May 29, at Corvallis. A game will
also be played with Salem high
school, here, Friday, May 8. Other
games are also being scheduled
with some of the strongest high
schools in the state, and with sev
eral of the smaller colleges.
