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.

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.

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.

TROUBLE'S a bubble, just as tbe song says.
And you can stick it with the stem of your old
jimmyrpipe, filled to the brim with good old
Prince Albert. A remedy? It’s a specific! Ask
p'ry jimmy-piper who ever butted into trouble.
Cool as the zone-of-kelvinatiOn you read
about in the refrigerator ads. Sweet as the kiss
of spring on a winter-weary brow. Fragrant as
locust blossoms. Soothing as a cradle-song.
And—P. A. can’t bite your tongue or parch
your throat. The Prince Albert process fixes that!
Get on the sunny side of life with a jimmy
pipe and P. A. Tie a tidy red tin to trouble.
Smoke the one tobacco that’s got everything
you ever wished for—Prince Albert. Quicker
you get going, the sooner your worries will be
over. Men who thought they never could smoke
a pipe are now P. A. fans. You’ll be a cheer
leader too!
Fringe albert
—no other tobacco is like it!

Company, Winston-Salem, N. C.
P. A* is sold everywhere in
tidy red tins, pound and half
pound tin humidors, and
pound crystal-glass humidors
with spongc-moistener top.
And always with every bit of
bite and parch removed by the
