Winners of the 1924 North west Conference, the Vandals have journeyed to Oregon to jump the first high hurdle in the 1925 race. Oregon respects Idaho—she has cause to. Last year when the markers were counted Oregon, playing on Idaho’s home field, was found to be the less fortunate of the two. # # * • The Vandals, ns w'ell as Oregon, have cause to be humble in their respect. The famous “Oregon Jinx” over Idaho, which persisted ever since athletic relations be tween the two schools began, until last year, was a woeful thorn in the side of all loyal Idaho sons. Apparently no Ore gon team could be downed by the Vandal host. Hence, last year, there was great rejoicing in the camp of Ilob Mathews and his followers. * # m * Tonight all followers of the Lemon Yellow have been called out by the Yell King to unite in noiseful prayer to the Gods of Good Fortune, to bring back the “Jinx.” The Gods slept last year. If sufficient pandemonium is raised in the rally tonight they will be awakened, and the “Jinx” reinstated to its proper position. * * # * All previous engagements for the eve ning have been declared null and void until after the termination of the Rally. Realizing the importance of the demon stration, the Women’s League lias post phoned their get-together affair with in structions for all participants to attend the rally. It’s a big night. All out! Bigger and Better 1 A STORY on registration figures in the Emerald reads: “The enrollment for the fall, winter, and spring terms will ex ceed 8,000 by a comfortable figure.” Yes, that’s our attitude—". ... by a com fortable figure.” # * # * Wouldn’t it be more correct to say, “by an uncomfortable figure?” Of course, we are glad to see all the new faces— the bigger and better frosh class. At the same time we can’t help gazing about us and no!icing what “bigger and better’ frosh classes have accomplished. There’s California with her ever mount ing thousands; Columbia; and all the rest —growing bigger and better. * * # * The conelusion is not difficult. Oregon, as we know it, in a. few years will be no more. Her customs, her traditions, will gradually be worked over to tit the needs of wholesale production. Oregon will be bigger, for certain; as for better -we hope so. . . . LETTERS From Other Schools (Serious and Otherwise) The Christian Science Monitor recently car ried the story of a new kind of summer school conducted this ' year at Geneva, Switzerland, when nearly 600 university students fromi 33 different countries were enrolled under the dir ection of Prof. Alfred Zimmern to study inter national problems at close range. The resources of Geneva as a laboratory for realistic political study should make it possible for the experi ment to become a permanent institution, bring ing students in otuch with all phases of the international situations as they mix with their fellow students from all over the world. * * * * Scholarship Coming Into Its Own! “In recognition of high scholarship attained in their freshman year, ten sopliomore wornpn will be given rings by last year’s senior advis ory group.The rings will be of silver with the university crest upon them.”—Item from,' The Daily Californian. That’s a good idea. When it comes to the time when we can wear pins or rings to show what good students wo can be if we choose, the Board of Regonts and faculty won’t have to worry about using drastic measures to raise the standards fo the school.^ You Can See This on the Oregon Campus “Rainy days have brought out the marks of differentiation between new and old students. The old students wear somewhat dilapidated yellow ‘fish brand’ slickers. The new students look like a damp rainbow.”—University Daily Kansan. * * # * Nows of rigid enforcement of California tra ditions at the Southern Branch is contained in a news story in the Daily Californian. Not only is this enforcement among freshman men, but also among women sinco the creation of a Women’s Vigilante Committee which serves daily summons to appear before the sophomore court to all women breaking university tradi tion* or sophomore regulations. To The Editor To the Editor: What’s the use of cluttering up the Emerald with nonsense concerning the Seven Seers? They aren’t perfect—sometimes they aren’t even funny. Not at all. What’s the use of starting another foolish controversy that can at best ar rive nowhere. Givo the Seers a chance to get acquainted with the tastes of the students. Then, if they can’t make the grade, bring back the pootry. PROVOKED. Theatres 11EIETG—Today and, Saturday: Rex, the wild horse, in “Black Cyclone.” The lovo story of a wild horse. Comedy.

Visions of an earlier and better day, when men were men and sophomores were fresh men, arose—Dandtlbon dawn. . . cakes of soap . , . rain on a diJJy windowpane. . . a broken and demoralized linotype operator. . . flowers that bloom in the spring, tra-la-la—blah! * * * * The Seven Seers are deeply hurt by the implication that there is a .poet in our au stere midst, and affirm that despite clever machinations such as resorted to by WEK, no one suspected of a Shelley complex will over be included in our Tong. The Seven Seers is an eminently respectable body. It is true that Olaf has shown symptoms on various occasions of breaking out with some thing resembling a rythmic rash. The Austere Assemblage has advised him to use Listerine and to read Mencken. It is suspected that a pink and white romance language major who chews gum and lisps, had something to do with the outbreaks. ASSOCIATE MEMBERS OF THE SEERS Spike Leslie The Pioneer The Aggravators Stiffy Barnett Louise Fazenda S. H. W. Margo Vincent # * * * The white pine black ball, of a late Chippen dale style, having been laid away for a week and not feeling any too good about it, last night unceremoniously mowed down the follow ing three candidates for Associate Membership into the Seers: The Goddess of Liberty because her influ ence has practically disappeared from this land of home brew, bobbed hair and special investigating committees. Georgia Benson because the Seers are afraid that the lengthy and ponderous de liberation necessary for those who aspire to maintain the exacting requirements of the Seers is ruinous to school-girl complexions and because the Seers prefer Woodruff’s Tar Soap. Harold Lloyd because, through his perni cious influence many otherwise normal young men with happy and contented dispo sitions ' have affected horn-rimmed glasses and taken to tumbling and leering. K. D. G. says he thinks the Oregon yells arc out of date. At Pettiville high school, where he was cheer leader last year, they had a roof tickler, he says, which ran something like this: YELLOW SLICKERS, GOSH, I’LL SAY! PETTY, PETTY, BRAY! BRAY! BRAY! “Payment of fees is very slow, according to Carlton Spencer, comptroller. Only 165 have so far paid in to the office their fees for the coming year. The time was extended to a per iod of ten days, according to the comptroller, to allow students to pay their fees with a minimum of delay. Students are reminded that the per iod for payment ends Saturday at noon.” One of the clearest examples of the mech anistic tendency in modem life is the rapid ity and distinctness with which a French student can say, “I don’t know.” Orlando y. bingh.
