The Murray Warner
Essay Contest
The announcement has been made that
the amount to be given in awards for the
best three essays in the Murray Warner
contest has been raised from two hun
dred to three hundred dollars by the
donor, Mrs. Gertrude Bass Warner, and
that she has also given two hundred dol
lars to be used as prizes in a second con
test, limited to students from the coun
tries of the Orient, the subject to, be,
“What America has done for my coun
try and what I hope she will do.”
The purpose of these contests is to stim
ulate sympathetic interest in the prob
lems of the Pacific, toward the end that
in some small way a better understand
ing may be brought about between the
nations that skirt her shores. Those who
‘have kept in touch with the history that
is being made in the Far East realize
that this mutual understanding is greatly
needed. Mrs. Warner is to be commended
for the spirit in which she has given
these prizes, and it is to be hoped that
the contests will bring out a large num
ber of entrants. Even a third prize of
fifty dollars is well worth the effort.
Many students will hesitate about en
tering such contests as these because of a
mistaken sense of their own inferiority
They feel that they have no adequate
knowledge of the subject and that they
stand little chance to win against others
presumably more brilliant and conver
sant with world affairs. They forget
that every entrant is thinking the same
thing, and that they are on a par with
other contestants in that all must conduct
their research for material in books and
magazines available to everyone rather
than from first hand knowledge. If any
student has original ideas on any phase
of the subject—religious, economic, social
or aesthetic and can put them down in a
logical manner he has a chance of win
ning. If he has no such ideas, let him
start an argument with some Oriental
student on the campus. H. A. K.

TO THE EDITOR:
A reporter in Friday’s Emerald said the
sophomores were conservative. Goodness knows,
I had a hard enough time controlling myself,
without having the term^ “conservatism” thrust
at me in such a fashion.
We are going to have sweat-shirt jackets—
Sure, the color is somewhat conservative. But—
We are like the young fellow who wants to
crash heavy with his sweetie, and buy an auto
to cart her around. He went around, to Hen-,
nessey’s Second Hand exchange, bought him
self an old wreck of a four ton truck for $250,
spent $55 more for nice conservative extras,
and thought he had the world by the tail.” He
had an old heap on his hands, that, with eare,
might last the year out.
He didn’t seem to know that he could have
gone just around the corner and bought a nice
looking Ford coupe for an extra $60 or $70 that
would have served him on all occasions for
three or four years.
The sophomores are like that. . . .
Gee, somebody will sure think I’m sore, from
this letter. Honestly, I’m not, though, only
I just can’t bear to have that word “Conser
vative” thrown at me in Buch a promiscous
fashion. So, Mr. Editor, please tell your re
porter not to use that word any more, and
oblige. A SOPHOMORE.
25 Years Ago
OREGON WEEKLY, NOV. 12, 1900
It is really amusing to read such articles as
the one recently published in a certain valley
paper. Perhaps some may have seen the clip
ping on the bulletin board in Villard Hall last
week. When such charges are made, it is cus
tomary to substantiate them by authority.
Hearsay and random statements are the poor
est forme of evidence. As a matter of fact,
these charges are untrue. The football men
are conforming to strict rules of scholarship.
None are carrying less than twelve hours of
class room work. The University records are
always open to public inspection, so that those
who doubt ub have an opportunity for personal
investigation. The author of the above men
tioned statement is either misinformed or is a
contemptable slanderer. We hope that no more
such rubbish will be published.—Edit.
At the next session of the Oregon legisla
ture, which convenes in January, an additional
appropriation will be asked for the state uni
versity. Now the students of the University
can assist materially in the success of this
offprt by making a personal canvass of the
mehtbers of the legislature and in acquainting
them with the needs and demands of the state
university.—Edit.
The Varsity Glee Club will sing in Villard
Hall Tuesday evening, November 27.

The Seers ' Limerick Contest is enlisting the
brightest talent on the campus, if the wealth of
contributions is any indication. True, the six
admissions to “Bobbed. Hair”, playing at the
McDonald theatre next Monday and Tuesday
is a mighty incentive, but the Seers prefer to
believe that the majority of contributors are
prompted by a love of art—a love of limerick- j
ing for lim's sake, as it Were.
Those feeling the urge stirring within them
to gain fame and a free show are reminded that
'earlier contributions Btand a better show of win
ning, but limericks will be accepted until 12
o’clock noon today. ' About the /only other
rule is that you attend university classes—you
don’t even have to be a student; or you may be
of that genus homo designated as—that, there
prof. Simply fill in the missing line in the
above limerick with your version of a rib
buster, sign your name, address and phone num
ber, and then go home and occupy yourself with
some useful occupation, like reciting the Ore
gon pledge song, and wait for a telephone call
or a note from the Seers informing you of your
good fortune and good limericking, with the
passers as a tangible reward.
First prize entitles the winner to a pass
good for three admissions to any perform
ance of “Bobbed Hair,” at the McDonald
Monday and Tuesday. Second place carries
as a prize a pass good for two admissions,
and third prize a pass good for one admis
sion. Announcement of the awards will be
made as soon after the close of the contest,
at noon today (Saturday) as possible.
G. Hosafat is a scientist of some note. Ever
since he arrived he has been interested in the
Oregon Mist. The other day he made several
experiments, from which he concluded the fol
lowing: Oregon Mist is a dense vapor of de
scending moisture dephlogisticated by refrac
ton. A few more endiometrical experiments
will definitely establish tbs hydroprocity, which
I expect will test at least 103 proof.

****************
The poor old Seers’ fraternal love has budded
out at last. And Sinbad—that moat peaceful
dove—with them his vote has cast. They tried
to join the swimmers’ club, and learn the back
hand stroke; to join the club (aye, there’s the
rub) for these poor bimbos smoke. Who ever
saw a mermaid fair who used the filthy weed!
"Join our club? They wouldn’t dare! No, we
guess not indeed!” Twas thus the fair an^
phibia spoke, and thereupon each Seer was
heard to make a mournful croak, that hurt the
listener's ear. ‘‘Oh, listen to our humble plea,”1
on bended knee they cried; but those amphibia
did not see, they never even tried. So now the
Seers are on the peck, they wouldn’t join the
swimmers; 'cause if they did each dog-goned
Seer would have to wear his dimmers. ‘‘We’ll
never try another club,” was what they said
last night. And from the look of each poor dub,
we think they won’t all right.
