The Students Have Chosen Well 'JpHURSDAY at the regular Associated Students assembly Randall Jones formally turned over the leadership of the A. S. U. O. to Walter Malcolm, recently elected president for next year. Malcolm’s speech was short and appropriate. Ilis quiet, self-possessed manner inspires confidence. The students need have no fears for administration of their affairs during the University year 1925-26. Particularly pleasing was the fundamental thought under lying Malcolm’s words. He referred to the three presidents immediately preceding him, justly attributing to each a proper share in the establishment of a splendid piece of work. John MacGregor conceived the idea of an Oregon Student Union building, Claude Robinson organized the initial drive and im planted an enthusiastic resolve in the student body to acquire that building, and Randal^ Jones has placed the plan upon a business-like and scientific basis. President Malcolm, in mentioning this work, commented aside that he feared there is nothing big nor startling left for his administration to initiate, but that he felt in such a case his course will be to carry forward as far as possible the plans already started. However, if new problems arise next year which would come under the jurisdiction of the student body, Malcolm stated, he will endeavor to the best of iiis power to meet them adequately and efficiently. The students of the University of Oregon, in general a con servative group, could not ask for a more sane outline of policy. There will be no startling revolutions of government, no little meditated wild schemes, no hurtful distempers, to hamper the steady progress which has marked the A. S. U. O. during the last few years. A loyal and competent group of officers and representa-1 tives has been elected to serve with the new president. Each has shown merit in unselfish service to the University. Each now has an increased opportunity to fulfill the promise of that previous devotion. < - • • « . > «. » i In one week, on Friday night, at the annual Emerald Ban quet, the present editor of the Emerald will deliver the keys to his office to Edward Miller. He gives up his typewriter to his successor with a real feeling of regret that his time has been served. He will no longer have the privilege of controlling the! opinions expressed through the editorial column of the daily, i There have been difficult, precarious incidents this year which have required much in the way of conscientious truth seeking and exposition in the face of many pressures. In turn ing over the editorial reins to Edward Miller the regret of withdrawing fjjom further active participation on the Emerald is greatly lessened by knowledge of the University’s next editor. Editor Miller will publish a paper that will be lively, full of interest, sparkling with progressive ideas, llis editorials will be well-written, sane, colorful, but above all straightfor ward and unflinching in standing for the right as he sees it. The Emerald will not be a mere mirror of majority campus opinion, nor of administrative desires, but with the best inter est^ ot the students held first and above all else, the opinions and facts stated in the co^inm will be dependable and inspire confidence in their leadership. _ The student body has chosen well in the elections. The University year 1925-26 will be a cycle of sound, sure progress, resulting from a dignified, upstanding self-government. Campus Bulletin Notices will be printed in this column for two i&sues only. Copy must be in this office by 5:30 on the day before it is to be published, p must be limited to 20 words. Sigma Delta Chi—Meet for initia tion at College Side Inn at 5 o ’clock Sunday. Communications Letters to the EMERALD from stu dents and faculty members are welcomed, but must be signed and worded concisely. If it is desired, the writer's name will be kept out of print. It must be understood that the editor reserves the right to reject communications. KERBY MILLER’S ‘TEACHING’ jxo the Editor; Since the recent meeting of the board of regents of the University, there has been considerable specu lation on the campus concerning the board’s motive for refusing to re-elect Korby S. Miller to the fac ulty of the department of phil osophy. Although it has been im possible to discover the regents’ objection to Mr. Miller, numerous rumors, purporting to account for the action, have been circulated around the campus. According to one report, Mr. Mil ler, during the past year, has been a failure as a “teacher.” This let ter is written largely as a protest against this rumor, whether or noT it influenced the regents’ action. As members of Mr. Miller’s classes, we believe that we are qualified to judge his “teaching.” As a pedagogue, Mr. Miller would probably not claim extraordinary powers. He is rather an advanced student in his subject, philosophy, and it is through his knowledge of this subject, rather than through pedagogy, that he reached the be ginners with whom he came in con tact on the Oregon campus. Pedagogy has its advantages. Through psychological tricks, it is sometimes possible for an instruc tor to pound into unwilling heads facts that would otherwise be un heeded. Such methods are indis pensible in high schools, but it is lamentable that they are necessary in a university. Yet, what Oregon professor who has resigned himself to existing conditions has not his individual system of magic? In a department of philosophy, however, it is even more regrettable that pedagogical sleight of hand should be expected. Philosophy has no facts for the instructor to pre sent, for the student to learn and reproduce. It has problems for thought and discussion, but noth ing to “teach.” The instructor can only lead the discussion in an in- j telligent manner; it is upon the in terest and intelligence of the stu dent that the value of the class de-1 pends. It was as a lender in discussion j of problems that Mr. Miller acted i in his courses during the past year. Outside of the class room, he was always available for conferences, where students cleared up individ ual difficulties. For a few class members who only listened, expect ing to hear “pearls of wisdom” for hasty entry into open note books, the incoherent and faltering at tempts of interested students must have eseemed sterile. But 'these free discussions, for those who took part, had a value that could not be approached by the best pedago gical methods. To members of Mr. Miller’s ele-j mentarv ethics class, offered dur ing the winter term, the rumor that moral views expressed by him in i the classroom were responsible for his dismissal comes as a surprise. \ Since the rumor does not state what | these forbidden views might be, ] Mr. Miller’s students are as unin formed as the rest of the Univer sity. No matter how carefully mem-1 At ijie Theatres I O- <S» 1IEILTG — Today Friday and Saturday, '‘So This is Marriage/’ starring filmdom’s newest idol, Eleanor Board man. “So This is London” road show, eomes Monday, and '•Janice Meredith,” epic ; of the Ameriean Revolution, j is an early event.

They are only able to, recall that he spent a large part of the term trying to cre ate in scoffing students at least some respect for religious views. He neither applauded nor hushed up their unconventionality, but showed them the fallacies involved in their ideas.

A., to which all senior women are invited and are escorted by juniors. Eloise Buck has been appointed as general chairman of the affair which is to take place in the Woman’s build ing. Two lists bearing the names of the seniors with their escorts will be posted Monday, one on the bul letin board in the Library and one at the Bungalow. Since there are not enough juniors to go around, sophomores have been used to fill in and it is requested by Eloise Buck that all sophomores as well ns juniors be sure to look at the list. Miss Buck further urges that the escorts call their seniors early. Tickets will be 50 cents for two and juniors and sophomores may procure these next week, either in the houses and halls or at the Bungalow. The entire list of committee mem bers has not been announced but i Miss Buck will give it next week. STUDENT TO BE TRIED IN COLLECTION SUIT Bert Gooding, star catcher of the law school baseball nink, is about to get caught—so it seems. He is be ing sued by Robert Chrisman, also of the lew scho’ol, for non-payment of a promissory note, dated April 2, and due Hay 2, for the sum of $500. The defense charges fraud on the part of the plaintiff. Gooding says that Chrisman obtained his signa ture to the note under the pretense of getting his name*on a petition for the return of beer, light wines and free lunches. He also claims that Chrisman charged him one dol lar for the priviledge of being al lowed to sign the petition. Chrisman admits that he, know ing Gooding as well as he does, was very foolish to loan him money at | that time, for the should have known that Gooding would prob ably claim irresponsibility due to his hangover from All Fool’s day. James Ross will undertake the defense of Gooding, and Harley W. Covalt will be attorney for the plaintiff. The case will be tried in moot court next Tuesday night at 7 o’clock, in the county court house.

NUMBER 14 nm ELECTS TO KALI OF FAME 5 GET PLACES IN NEW HALL Obak’s elects to its Hall of Fame the following men whom the Col lege thinks deserve a place in the rank (very rank) and defile of our campus. In making this selection the committee has investigated and observed the prospective candidates through the year, thus making sure that no mistake will be made when the marble busts of the men are placed in the magnificent new Obak Hall, now nearing completion. George Godfrey—Because he is the campus financier and has the most creative imagination in the ktate. George's claim to fame is combining imagination to create cash for Godfrey. Bob Mautz—Simply because he has big feet. His feet would admit him into any Hall of Fame. Duke Carter—Because he is a per petual fountain of youth—bub ling over with enthusiasm. Walter Evans Kidd—Because he j writes such good communications. Randall Jones—Because he shaved his mvstasch. thus improving the looks of the campus. After removing the Dramatic de- j partment of the University the j Board of Regents decided to re- ' place it by a school of Salesman ship. Fat Wilson has already been! chosen head of the department by Dean Diemint. Fees are $6.00 per1 term, which included a booklet on ! the life of a salesman and one pair S of REAL SILK hosiery. Kampus OLLUM What a playful time our friends had at the campus luncheon. Duke Carter and his gang ducked every body they thought they could handle, including one 12-year-old news boy. A large number of fraternity pins have been lost during the last two months. If any girl happens to find one please address it to Obak's and the owner will receive the same by applying. A number of students have al ready started to change their study schedule. "This is the first time in the history of the University that such a thing has happened.” said Harry Scott, head of the Physical Education department.
