Day Editor—Geneva Drum Assistant—Mary Conn Night Editor—Ronald Sellers Assistant—Earl Raess EDITORIAL Frosh Leaders After sev&fal years 6# fuming around, (Jjregori apparently is to permit its Frosh class to elect and maintain a president with a fair vestige of dignity and respect. Several fraternities agreed to pern^t their frosh to accept the posi tion, if elected, and now the deed is done. It is eminently reasonable' that the Frosh should be permitted to elect their president in peace and good will, and to carry out their busi ness with as little molestation as possible. Of course, as Walter Malcolm, student body presi dent, told the FroBh when he crowned them at the Mix, their function is not to run the Univer sity. They have their duties, however, and some day these are the men that, as far as stu dent affairs are concerned, will be running the University. • • • * S ■ The Frosh class this year will be delegated sufficient work to demand the direction of a skillful leader. Furthermore, this leader must of necessity be given ample assistance from older men who have passed through the mill of experience. Take the frosh bonfire as an example—an nually the “biggest and best.” The task if carried out in a haphazard manner without ade quate leadership is sufficient to flunk several of the hardest workers out of school. Given proper organization all the forces can be mar shaled and the whole put up with a minimum of time and effort. True leadership among the Frosh in all their activities is essential to the production of self-respecting Oregon men and women. The University may well congratulate itself on this new attitude it has assumed to wards the first year class. Don’t Be The Goat If one might lift the veil of secrecy from house meetings in both men’s and women’s fra ternities and halls of residence, the chances are that in nine out of ten houses sentiments some what as follows might be heard— “You frosh—and you sophomores—and you juniors—and you seniors—get out on the campus and DO something. Get into football, or the manager’s system, or debate work, or class committees. Get a job. The House needs the prestige. ...” and so on for many, many min utes. All the old timers have heard it, and probably most of the frosh by this time. Fair enough, within certain bounds. The stu dent, who takes an interest in some phase of extra-curricula work—his hobby, as it were—is on the right track. A well balanced interest in some phase of the University outside of his reg ular studies should provide him recreation and amusement. Student activities, like a good many (other things, are good medicine if not taken in too great doses. Led on by the bait of campus publicity many students are prone to forget the prime reason for attendance at the University. Before they are aware of the fact they find themselves drenched with collegiate honors — and low grades. Perhaps a siege of University proba tion will burst his bubble of prestige—or per haps he will squeeze through with an Oregana full of campus honors and no education. . . . Yes, get into activities; but ‘get’ the activity, and don’t let the activity ‘get’ you. LETTERS Answer to G. R. E. To the Editor: In yesterday’s Emerald G. R. E, Writes ftt some length in behalf of “Greater Intra-Mttfal Sports.” He bemoans the fact that last year’s program reached but a small group of students, ' falling far below his ideal “—to have everyone actively engaged in some form of sport,” all due, he" claims, to a lack of emblems to be fought for. May I say a word? It is extremely regret table "that organizations may no longer decor ate their mantles with tall cups and their walls with bronze shields. They n^ake a wonderful impression on awe-struck rushees and co-eds and are truly a powerful incentive to the ath letes of the house to give their all for the old fraternity, with the gang lustily developing lung power from the sidelines. The athletes need the exercise and the gang needs the lung power for the big games. As many houses required all underclassmen, who already were taking three hours of some sport each week at the gymnasium, to go out for intra-mural athletics, the system most assur edly brought out more contestants. The present system has this serious disadvan tage: there is so little incentive for anyone to enter intra-mural sports except those who play for the sheer joy of the gamle, and this, accord ing to American college standards, is a very poor reason. To win is the thing—and the larger the stakes the better. Let there by all means be a score or so of cups each year, with brass, copper and tin shields for second, third and fourth places. A. K. Gone Are the Days Re. Intramural sports, as per communication in the Emerald Tuesday signed by G. R. E. Things of the past, ghosts of older days, this intramural sports idea. Some of us still have a hazy memory of 500 or 600 men, the sum total of men in the University, who loved their alma mater, who worked for her, who fought for her, who gloried in her every achi evement or dispaired but still hoped at her every defeat. Awards for intramural sports? Yes, a cup or placque. But the big thing was Oregon. During "basketball season everyone thought basketball, and as many as could played it— in the spring the same was true of track and baseball. Even footbhll drew its following of sandlot talent, and intramural football games, though not so extensive because of the number of men required, were quite comipion. But the days are gone, dead. And the dead shall never arise until there is an awakening that shall bring back the old fire, the old love, the old frenzied hope, the desire for a victorious Oregon above everything else. From W. E. K. My Dear.Editor: With sacreligious indignation I disillusion the prevalent inference that I concoct the slobgol lion absurdities that dribble through the “Seven Seers Column.” Like a lyric rainbow knight I shouldered the crusading honor of championing, with enviable success, a poetry column last year. Vainly Lemmy Ghosters and others shot jealous arrows of criticism at the impenetrable armor of my triumphant popularity. (I crave praise and publicity). O ye, who lament the passing of the great campus poetry, I bid ye weep your tears for the “Seven Seers.” Poetry mfust not enter this year’s Emerald for that would outrage Eddie’s journalistic ethics. Honestly, I can’t bear, without blushing in feriority, to share the Seven Seers’ remarkable pointless, naughty, naughty petticoat punning. I don ’t have enough cash to hire Martha Ranny Hennley to teach me tricks. Now, I am taking a literary revenge for I am jealous because I have not been elected to the Seven Seers because I can’t play magic that will be the magic revelation. W. E. K. Theatres COLONIAL—Agnes Ayres, in “Her Market Value.” HEILIG—Western Vaudeville, five acts. Jim my Audry in “The Ambassador.” REX—Last day—“Wings of Youth,” with Madge Bellamy and Robert Cain. McHONALD—“The Teaser,” with Laura La Plante and Pat O’Malley. SEVEN SEERS Beards, etc. A bird in the hand is worth two in the glass house, _ And never the twain shall meet. v Since the explosion in Deady hall I have not uttered a word. My main reason for the lax ity is because I have been out on the sawdust pile, playing pinochle with the rest of the grid dle-iron boys. Coach Smith says that of all the men 1 have the greatest chance of making the All-American, and the credit for this must not go so much to my expert playing, but to che length and strength of my beard. When the ball is thrown in my direction I scarcely miss it, for it catches in n^ whiskers and pre vents me from fumbling or dropping it. Then when I attempt to make a forty yard dash, my flowing beard trails behind me as I run, tripping up those men who try to tackle me. All the men as well as Dick, are counting on me to win the game with the Idaho Vandals next week. Will you be there to root a huzzah for me? I have noticed that many Freshmen are buying Michael Arlen’s “Green Hat”, thinking evidently, that It concerns the life of the youngsters in college for the first time. This belief is entirely un founded, for the book is one of history— but mighty good history! Many of the youngsters regain smart after the Mix, but the smartness is not in the head. Oh, no. Since none of the campus poets have yet felt the urge to splurge, I feel it my duty to make up to some extent, that great need. For as Daniel Webster said, “What is a colum|n without a peotix?” the answer is, of course, “Much better.” As a foreword, I would say that my poetry is very true to life, and in terprets those things characteristic of the mod ern college student. The style is quite frpe and the value ditto. MXTDDY SHOES A little GIBL So elite and SWEET— Tried to SCEAPE The mud—from her -FEET! BUT—the ‘next morning one of the sisters noticed the muddy shoes, and the little girl so cute and sweet didn’t have another date for several weeks— # * * * Tuesday noon at the College Slide Inn, I and my six austere brothers suggested nominees for the weekly association into our Clan. After much straining of soup through our whiskers, the first five names were spoken for, and after solemn mastication of Jello and whipped cream, the other five were chosen. And so another ten are up before the Black Ball in the Eighth street Bowling alley tonight. Which ones will with stand the mighty onslaught, and which will topple? Nominations for Associate Membership into the Order of Seven Seers: The Pioneer, because he doesn’t wear a slicker. Harold Lloyd, because of “The Fresh man.” Stiffy Barnett, because of his shoe-string tie, Stetson, and 75 per cent flunks. The Goddess of Liberty, because she’s all for everything, free-love, verse and thought. Margo Vincent, because she isn’t, and be cause she lives down by a lake and says, “6rop in sometime” to her friends. Spike Leslie, because he doesn’t take lemon in his tea or read Swinburne. The Aggravators, because they finally came to a good school. Georgia Benson, because she isn’t in school anymore, but still keeps that school girl complexion. S. H. W., because he didn’t handshake us. Louise Fazenda, because she’s a good ex ample of what the modern girl Is. * * * * 4 We might state, although this is confidential, that Ed Miller tried awfully hard to make our Tong by sticking up for us in his column next doon, but as already seen, we are off hand shaking, and that’s straight.
