Therefore, let it not be said, after the game today, that the students at large did not do their share. Second String Games A FTER all, there isn’t a great deal of ■L*- justice in this game called football. A man goes out for the Varsity—one year, two, three, perhaps four years, and never gets into a game, let alone making a letter. The only reward, brought about by the love of the game, is the satisfac tion that he has contributed needed oppo sition for the Varsity. Why not arrange some games with other colleges for the second and third, or even more teams? A series of contests with 0. A. C., perhaps, might be arranged whereby the second string men could have the opportunity of mixing in the colors of the rival institution. The cheer ing thousands might be somewhat deplet ed, but it would be fare more fun for the patient ‘scrubs’ than eternally warming the bench. Frosh Discipline -O JUDGING from all appearances, the Student Administration means busi ness in the disciplining of the first year men. A complete revision of the library steps procedure, sanctioned by the stu dent council, will provide a sure means of punishment for offenders and will eliminate the popular outdoor sport of previous years—the paddling of the non gui.lty. • # * • ■V The Frosh have been permitted to elect a president without molestation; they are being given every opportunity to show their merits. They may be assured with equal emphasis, that they will re ceive just dues if their conduct isn’t up to the standard expected of first year men. Co-operation of the students in regard ing the rules of the University Post Office is asked by those in charge of the depot. The request came about following a viola tion of the law that no mail of any sort can be sent in the laundry boxes,, and that the penalty for disobedience of the law is a heavy fine and a term of impris ment. The boxes will be inspected after this to make sure that no printed or writ ten matter is hidden away in pockets or tucked away in rolled socks. It is sin cerely hoped that nothing comes out in the wash. Controversies come and controversies go. Now it is the battle over the giving of trophies for intra-mural sports. To award, or not to award, is tin* question. It is apparent that there is already a heated combat waged over the issue, both sides possessing ardent champions. N\ by not give the men padded gloves and a padded mat and let diem fight it out for themselves, counting it as one of the intramural sportst It has been rumored among some of the campus steppers that they are deserting the grill rooms Saturday evening to wit ness the entertainment to be given by the Chinese club in Alumni hall. Evidently they are hopeful of discovering a new brand of fox-trot harmony, or maybe it is the Chinese Moon piano that is the | attraction. The registrar’s office lias raised the fees for Sophomores and Juniors. This time the extreme positions are the most advisable. It is both cheaper and wiser to be a Freshman or a Senior. What about the Stetsons, Seniors? An , opportunity to bring about the return of j an old Oregon custom that never should have been abolished. Stetsons are both good looking and sensible. LETTERS Cosmopolitan To the Editor: Without attaching the present inquiry to the unmasking of personalities, and without any malicious intent on the part of the writer to offend or hurt anyone, he desires to put before the campus public opinion the interests of the Cosmopolitan club. The only main headquarters of the foreign element of our campus is the Cosmopolitan club, while our American students have innum erable. The field, therefore, is unbounded for the consumption of American talent and leadership. By virtue of this fact, the writer is inclined to believe, that American sports manship and hospitality points to the fitness of a foreigner to guide the destinies of the Cos mopolitan club. That another instance in which this selection is not done, is about to repeat, or it has repeated already. The reason is not that our foreign element lacks talent or leader ship. The talent was drowned and buried, so to speak, in its enormous mass. In other words, in this so-called democracy of ours, quality is assailed and tyranize by quantity. That was exactly what happened in the election of offi cers for the Cosmopolitan club, in which, to the sorrow of the writer, certain factions of our foreign students admit that they are incapable of running their affairs, that they must tax American leadership' and talent with another office, as their actions can be judged in the last analysis. I doubt, if to an appreciable extent, Ameri can students realize how auspicious and oppor tune the presence of foreign students in this campus. These foreign students comlp almost from every nook of the world, with a message in the characteristics of their thought and ex perience, which are accumulation of years and years of varied and different environment and practices. The value of their presence is to lea»n of these first hand. It is, therefore, necessary that they must appear as they want to appear, by conducting their own affairs. We can see, therefore, the advisability of a for eigner to preside the Cosmopolitan club. I trust that students show their alliances and reactions fearlessly in this matter. Very truly, JUAN CAEDO DOMINGO. O More Cosmopolitan To the Editor: >■ You are indeed aware of the existence of a student organization known by the name Cos mopolitan, composed mainly of students of for eign countries and whose main purpose is to promote international friendship and under standing and at the samje tima tell us the story of their country in terms of their own feeling. Though, perhaps, an unwritten law, but it was understood that the officers of the organiza tion be chosen from the'foreign students, in order to give them the opportunity to develop their capacity of leadership because of the fact, or perhaps unfortunately, that they are. ex cluded from other student organizations. This is perhaps the only organization where they can hold office and up to this year they have been enjoying this privilege. But alas! w,hat do we see this year? The American students, perhaps not through a fault of theirs, they are depriv ing the foreign students of their only chance. Much could be said about this subject, but it is Much could be said about this subject, but is best that we refrain from such a discussion. Nevertheless, it will be best to ask ourselves what will the opinion of these foreigners be about America when they return to their native lands? Will they not be justified in arriving to the unfair conclusion, that Americans are so often unjustly accused of, that the Ameri can’s only desire is to dominate over everybody? A COSMOPOLITAN. ETIQXTET CLASS UNPOPULAR Oklahomh A. and M.—The class in social etiquet offered here to men has attracted only three applicants to date. The matter of religion—ot lack of it—-among students seems to be worrying a good many persons, including ministers and editors of stu dent papers. A long editorial in the University Daily Kansan says in part: “Some see the ex planation (of the lack of interest in the re ligions organizations at the university) in the crowded nature of student life. With so many other demands upon his time, they say a stu dent will regard taking a part in religious organizations as ‘another activity,’ and treat it with the usual much divided, hurried inter est, or he will give it up entirely for the new kinds of activity afforded by university life.” The Columbian Spectator gives the question a new twist bv observing: "Of course, what the average college man thinks or UOd may no interesting enough; but not as interesting, surely, as what God mtist think of the average college man.” Before closing, wo fool called upon to quote in part 'rom •'Autumnal Resolve” in the Cor nell Sun's “Berry Patch.” It seems so much in the spirit of the day: . . . . Now the fat packed tombs of learning Yield a grimly silent call , To weightier hours, And 1 answer with a heart eager With the fresh eagerness of beginnings— l will work. The multitudinous hours Frittered in the past Are gone. Let them be gone, For now L gaze upon the rising dawn Of learning’s day With quiet zest. 1 will work— For a couple of weeks, anyway. —R.fl. SEVEN SEERS Prophecy Good Morning! as they say in Thibet, Are you all up in the air over the game this after noon? , After the noise and energy expended in. last night’s rally, it is wondered by some that the Oregon student body can make much of a show ing at the game this afternoon. The Seers make a prophecy: that they will be there three thousand strong, and yelling louder than before. LITTLE PEP DITTIES (These might be memorized, and recited be tween halves at the game, to keep the spirits up.) There is a young lady we know, Who always is seen on the go, But when she got there, The cupboard was bare, And so the poor dog had parsnips. Break, break, break, On thy cold, grey field, oh yells, And after the game is over, We’ll be seeing Nellie home. T’wds the night of the Bally, And all through the town, Not a creature was sleeping, Even as you and I. The saddest word that ere were penned, Are always these, “Oh, will you lend—?” And Idaho may fight to the end, But we will win! G. Hosafat, who was a cheer-leader in his adolescent days back at Oxfo’d, may honor the assembly at the game by helping Freddie and his brand new Dukes in a few yells. Cheers are led differently now than they were in his day, he says. In those days the leaders did all the yelling. That’s what they were paid for, he declares. Martin has a pretty easy time of it, he thinks. However, he has a suggestion to make that might improve one of the Oregon yells, and which we ardently agree upon. When singing the chorus of “Mighty Oregon,” it would make more sense to the song if “Vandals’ line” is substituted instead of “Aggies’ line,” and ending up with “Idaho may fight to the end but we will win!” instead of the usual reference to O. A. C., which doesn’t figure until Home coming. Of course, it is to be rememy bored that “We’ll give a long' cheer for Dick’s men” is the correct way to sing that line. Owing to the magical powers possessed by the Seven Seers, it is our privilege to make predictions on things that are yet to come. It is by means of our all-seeing eye, that peers into the land of tomorrow, piercing the fogs of uncertainty; and scrutinizing events that are yet unknown. And our prophecies never fail. A SOLEMN PROPHECY . Let it be known then, among you students, profs, and otherwise, that the Seven Seers do make a solemn prophecy in regard to the great game that is to talw plase this afternoon. As yet the field is empty, the grandstand vacant, no cheers break the quiet of the sunny after noon, no thud of leather against leather sounds dully as the two armies of the pig-skin clash, but the all-seeing eye is scrutinizing mightily, it sees the Vandal hordes sweep down the field with fight in their eyes, it sees the onslaught waged against the eleven in blue and white jersies, it sees men fall and be carried from the field, it sees passes fail and passes com pleted, it sees men break through for many yard gains, it hears the hoarse, terse signals of the quarter-back and the, deafening cheers f .from the throats of hundreds of loyal Ore- ' gonians on the grandstand, if even sees the lines of deep concern on the face of Dick Smith and j the other men on the side-lines, it sees fight, j struggle, brawn, brain, waged by the two teams, and then a score when the game is over that POPS THE IDAHO COUNT BY SEVEN NUMBERS!
