The Vandals
WORTHY visitors—the Vandals from
Idaho. 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.

EDITORIAL—VISIONS
Your Seer was glancing over the Emerald yes
terday, when his eye fell across the following
WBK. 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.

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.”
