Student Participation in
Selecting a President
Tomorrow the University regents meet
in Portland to discuss the selection of a
president for the University. It may be
presumed that names of various men will
be seriously considered at this session, al
though it is improbable that any final ac
tion will be taken.
Oregon students are most vitally inter
ested in the proposition of electing a suc
cessor to President Campbell. This sum
mer they read eagerly of the qualifica
tions expected of a candidate. He is to
be a Big maft, in every sense of the word;
he is to be, probably, an Eastern man.
Furthermore the search is not to cease
until the right man is found. Since that
time no word has come to the students
regarding the progress of the search.
The undergraduates realize the situa
tion is a delicate one, requiring tact and
patience from all parties. Presidents of
universities are not selected with the
frankness characterizing the choice of
governors or national presidents—or even
football coaches.
Oregon students believe, however, that
they might have been taken into confi
dence more than during the past fejv
months. Wild rumors float about but
invariably prove to be without substance.
Undergraduates are not alone in their
queries. Alumni are questioning and one
suspects that the faculty would not be av
erse to know which way the wind is
blowing.
Oregon students are anxious \that a
Eresident be selected as soon as possible.
veryone is waiting-waiting—waiting—
for the new president before plans are
launched for development of a Greater
University, A big central personality at
the head of affairs would have a stimulat
ing on constructive work at the Univer
sity
While Oregon undergraduates are an
xious to have a president be appointed as
soon as possible, they are equally insistent
that the regents do their utmost to find
the very best man for the position. Ore
gon wants a truly Great man and will be
expecting an executive of this stamp.
Oregon students arc convinced of an
other point. They believe they should
play a part in the selection of the presi
dent. who, once installed, will daily meet
«md work with them. Why, they ask,
should they not have an active interest
in the selection of this mant
Of course, the undergraduates do not
wish to exercise the veto power on the
regents. They do not wish to know pub
licly every move of the regents. They
would appreciate, however, having the
regents confer with a student committee,
perhaps, while this business is going on.
This committee might be of little value
to the students at large, and to the re
gents; on the other hand, it might be of
service to both.
Oregon students wish to be respectful
in this matter; at the same time believ
ing themselves to be among the most
vitally concerned, they feel they have a
right to play at least a small role in these
extremely important meetings.
The Book Nook
o-----o
It’s human. Barry Benefield’s “The Chicken
Wagon Family” is the simple story of a news
paper man, not an editor but one who never
becomes more than a reporter.
It is seldom that the authors of today realize
that a simple life story can be written just afl
entertainingly as sensational stories of gold
strugglqrs, gold-hoarders, and “gold-diggers.”
When such a writer does come forth, his book
is welcomed with open arm*.
This book deserves great popularity, and it
is to be feared that its title will mislead many.
The book is not a comic or juvenile family,
nor is it an epic of pioneer days.
Jim Pickens, just a newspaper reporter, gives
up his life’s happiness to save a friend. How
poor Jim struggles on in the dreary life re
sulting and how he comes to the turning of
the road and can hardly believe it is true
makes a story, simply told, which will catch
at your heart strings.
This book is of particular interest to the
Emerald workers and journalism mjajors in so
far as the setting is a great deal in the large
newspapers of New York. The book was writ
ten by a newspaper man and the scenes are
therefore true to the trade. F. M.

C. N. McArthur, editor-in-chief of the Weekly,

track meet.
BEDUCTIO AD AB8UBDUM
Six fearful freshmen wiggling, all alive;
Washburn got one, then there were five.
Five football freshmen feeling very sore;
One tackled Jakway, then there were four.
Four funny freshmen, students tried to be;
One entered Logic and then there were three.
Three weary freshmen, by thoughts of homle
made blue;
One got a birthday cake, then there were two.
Two tiny frshmen having lots of fun;
Don’t it take two of them to make just onef

WHY SOME OF US ABE KICKING
Because we can only take two books from
the library; a ruling suited more to a public
school than to a university.
Because misguided people play on the piano
in Villard hall during recitation and study
hours.
Because students persist in talking in the
study rooms to the disconterting of others who
wish to study.
Because the librarian occupies the library
roonijs with her art students.
Because the superintendent of buildings re
fuses to run the electric lights for the literary
societies after 10:30 o’clock Friday nights.

GET IN THE LIMERICK CONTEST
Three (Count ’Em) Free Frizes
There was a young man they called Pug
Who got by on the curves of his mug.
With a smile on his face,
He won the big race
(Fill in Line)
My Name .-Phone.
Address .
A contest that will appeal to the weary senior,
weighted with his knowledge and his sombrero,
the junior with his shiny unwashed eOrds, the
sophomore with his newly-found jauntiness and
class-consciousness, and the freshman tasting his
first dose of higher education and the business
end of a paddle, has been formulated by the
Seens. A contest which not only will bring
fame and glory to the winners (all three of
’em), but a tangible reward in the shape of
passes to the McDonald theatre, donated by Don
ald McDonald, manager of that showhouse.
“To limerick is hum^m,” said Plato in one of
his rarer moments of jocularity, and people h&ye
been at it ever since. So, in choosing a type of
contest that would appeal to the sunburnt, sea
going athlete, as well as to the freshman miss
who wears leopard coats and galoshes and a few
other things, the Seers chose a Limerick contest.
* • * »
THE RULES
There are no strings attached to the offer
other than good Umexicking and a reasonable
legibility in signing your name, address and
phone number. Simply fill in the blank line of
the above limerick with a line which rhymes
and is best calculated to finish the thought with
the greatest punch. Attach your namje^ address
and phone number and drop in one of the contest
boxes placed In the Co-op and the library for
that purpose. The contest will close at 12 o’clock
sharp Saturday morning. Limericks will be
judged by the Seers and the awards will be
made Monday, so that the wjtaner can attend
Monday performances of the show. Winning
rhymes will be published in Tuesday’s Emerald.
The contest is limited to campus folk.
That is all there is to it, folks, and we
earnestly advise you to step, right up and
grab you off a couple of passes. The prize
for the best limerick is a pass good for three
admission to any performance of a “Bobbed
Hair,” playing at the McDonald theatre
Monday and Tuesday. Second prize is a pass
entitling the holder to two admissions to the
same show. Third prize will be a pass ad
mitting one. In case of duplication, the lim
erick falling into the hands of the Seers
first will be declared the winner, so get
your entries in early.
There was a young fellow named Wilderman,
Now where would you look for a milder man,
But when after publicity,
He finds true felicity,
And cares not a gosh darn for child or man.
WHAT’S THAT TO YOU?
Governor Pierce (To happy mbther): “What a
fine, healthy baby you have!”
G. P. (20 years later): “What a brilliant,
clever student your son is! ”
G. P. (20 years later): “What a strong, pow
erful lawyer your eon is!”
G. P. (20 years later): “What a good, respect
ed man your son is!” •
MOTHER: “WHAT A PERSONAL OLD 80N
OF-A-GUN YOU’RE GETTING TO BE!” 0.8.

Here’s a limerick with one of those strong,
feep, underlying themes that have attracted the
master minds of all centuries. ..Note the beauty
»f sentiment:
There was a sculptor named Phidias,
Whose statues wfere positively hideous;
He sculptored Aphrodite,
Without any nightie,
And shocked the over fastidious.
