While it is true that one of its purposes, perhaps its main purpose, is to form a point of contact between such students, American students are not barred from membership. At present, however, but two students ^bom in this country are members. The chief requisite to membership in the organization is an interest in foreign and international affairs, and a willing ness to discuss these problems in a fair minded manner. The purposes of this club are most commendable; it would seen} that in its discussions, where mem bers from many corners of the globe meet to exchange opinions, there is an oppor tunity for American students to get first hand information on world problems. Vis itors are welcomed at its open meetings, we understand, and students of the many courses that deal with foreign politics, trade and with the sociological and eco nomic problems of the world, will find much of interest in these meetings. H. A. K. Concerning Mr. Godfrey’s Communication Analysis of the communication by George H. Godfrey published this morn ing indicates that Mr. Godfrey and the Emerald, in the main, are in accord. Mr. Godfrey’s stand is briefly as fol lows : The press should be allowed to sit in the entire regents’ meeting. He does not contend that everything that takes place in the meeting should be published; rather only that which is of material ef fect on the community should he called to public attention. In other words, onlj the names of those men who are seri ouslv being considered for the presidency should be published- This is precisely in effect what the Emerald contended: “The question of newspaper publicity has been u stickler all the Way along. The regents realize that the selection of a president is pub lie business, yet. they also realize their obli gation to the candidates, many of whom re quested to have the matter kept strictly eon fidential. lhi^licity might easily jeopardize many of theme men in their own positions, and the expectation of premature public serutin\ might prohibit many others from considering the position. “The last stage of selection qf a president is somewhat of a different matter. When the final two or three candidates have been chosen—as in the ease of Colonel Pay—it seems only reas onable that the students, the faculty, and tho people of the state at largo should bo taken into the confidence of the regents. Tn other words, the Emerald and Mr. Godfrey both believe that only the names of those men who are very seriously being considered should be made public. The Emerald said nothing about the pro cedure in this matter (as to the admitting or excluding the press) but confined it self to the probable results of the general situation. If the press is willing to keep the confidence of the regents in these maters where private rights as well as public interests are involved and where the ultimate public interest would be Mr. Godfrey and the Emerald are in disagreement as to the treatment to be accorded presidential candidates. Mr. Godfrey believed it tin- duty of the news paper to give the public the reasons for the candidate’s rejection. The Emerald prefers to believe, in the ease of Col. Day, for instance, that it would have been kinder to release merely an announce ment that Colonel Day, in effect, was not the men desired for the position. Colonel Day was an invited guest of the Univer sity while on the Pacific Coast and as such was entitled to more than a little consideration. The newspapers, as Mr. Godfrey infers, were not responsible for the condition which is existing at the present time. As the Emerald said, Col. Day “was the vic tim of unfortunate circumstances,” which resulted, in the newspapers if not being “primed” at least being “prepared ” When a Friend’s A Friend—Homecoming How about that friend that left the campus last year? . . When he left you said, with sincere regret, “I’m sorry to see you go. It’s going to be lonesome without you. I’ll see you Homecoming, won’t I?” ‘ ‘ Sure, ” he said. “ I ’ll. look forward to a big time.” 1 How about it? Remember, of coiu-se. . . j Also, he remembers—more vividly than you. He is waiting, anxiously, for a re minder, and a Homecoming invitation. . . Send it. He’ll be happy and so will you. Shades of Lemon Punch!

Ted, darn it, we can’t even start a literary magazine or nothin’ • . . i G. H. Godfrey Disagrees ] < Under the caption, “Regents Welcome Faeul- ' ty Aid in Selecting President,” in the Emer ald of November 4 the editor has mpde state- 1 ments that show plainly he is not aware of the true facts of the matter wherewith he dealt. “It is unfortunate that such brilliant publi city was focused on Col. Day, who as the victim of circumstances,” says the Emerald. “The newspaper of the state w'ere all primed for regents because of last year’s press exclusion at the regents meeting.” This is an error of fact. The newspapers were not “primed” in any sense of the word. Only four of them were represented at the meeting, The Orogjonian, Journal, Telegram, and Eugene Guard. Of the four reporters only one had attended a previous meeting, and not one was antagonistic toward the board. Colonel Day was the center of attention, was the only candidate being considered, and all the press reporters felt that tho reasons for his rejection Should bo made public. These were not unduly emphasized, and in no instance were they even published in full. The reasons given were that Col. Day was a Canadian citizen^and therefore not entitled to hold the position, that he did not impress tho faculty and students with his executive ability, ho was not a good speaker, was educated abroad, and that he did not have the western viewpoint. Publication of these reasons, which in this case apply to Col. Day only in relation to the position at Oregon, could not be held harmful, since all were plain, uncolored facts. Further more, in not a single instance could the public knowledge of these facts injure Col. Day in relation to his other work, or prospects for positions elsewhere. The editor of the Emerald takes the same viewpoint toward the press that some of the regents did, that the press is something to bo feared and not trusted. Governor Pierce was outspoken in this matter. He said, “I be lieve the press should be admitted to all meet ings, and I am sure that they will publish nothing that will be harmful if wo trust them. 1 f we do not repose this trust in them, then they are at liberty to print any information they can obtain, and we can say nothing against it.” It is very significant that the vote for press exclusion at the recent meeting stood six to five, and another regent tho chairman who could not vote, stood for the press. GEORGE H. GODFREY, ’26 ]_Editorially Clipped_ A snappy lino of nonsense is the first pre requisite of the “perfect date,” according to girls at Western Reserve, recently question j naired. It was spcified that he must think well of | ladies in general and ono lady in particular; : should be somewhat religious; have an enter taining "line.” an inexhaustable fund of both sense and nonsense appropriate to the occasion: must neglect neither himself nor the girl in his choice of subjects of conversation; must be capable of convincing “sweet nothings” on short notice; should use halthy amount of expressive slung; wear eloquent ties; never chew gum in public; must be all around man athletically; must never “crash the gate” at dances; should frown upon "necking;” should date up on Sun day and become a Buecess in hia life work.

PRIZE WINNER FOR TODAY The ensuing little drama took place in one of he numerous and popular English courses. (Note he pathos): Miss Gray—“Was there any pleasing feature ibout his fate?” Ted Lundy (joyfully)—-“Suite! He drank limself to death.” We feel that Mr. Lundy shows great appre iative ability in discovering what Sinbad term* is the perfect death, and as we aren’t lucky inough to possess any of the death-dealing fluid, ve award him the next quickest mean# of ac omplishing the same end. * * # # TODAY’S LITTLE FABLE And so it came to pass that one of the nightie men of the lande called Oregonne did fynde his coate gonne, wjien he didst return from his labors on tha gridyron. ..Bihte furiously lid he cast aboute until his hande fell upon what is called in the compion parlance a sweate or prespiration shyrte. ..Hastily did he doone it, for he had a,datte with one of the faire systers Df Bamma Phi Geta, who was famous# in that lande for exceeding fullnesse of temper, the like of wjiich had never been seene or hearde of. The people of that lande, seeing their cham pione thus attired, didst haste to so apparel themselves, so that there was great rejoicing in the hearts of the vendores of tennis racquettes, golfe stickes and sporting goodes, and many didst sighe after the shyrte for sweatteing. And thanks was offered up in great profusion that the mightie man didst not lose his trouSerres. * * * * THE DEBBATE Herewith is the opening argument of the de bate to be Tefereed by the Seers, on^the ques tion: “Resolved, That the Equine is of More Benefit to Humtanity and College Students Than the Bovine.” , . _ . Today Absolom Perkins, the Punkin Center flash, presents his first argument for the affir mative. Absolom is noted for his footwork and potatotes. Tomorrow Hiram Qorncrueller, pride of Corvallis, will introduce the negative side of the question. Draw up your chair and sit down. Ladies, Gentlemen and Frosh: Yew-all no that the horse'and the jackass his neer relation, liev alius bin the highest animules in the eyes of man. Nobuddy likes to walk wSlin there is a plug within climbing distance. The nobull horse hes alius bin the herow of the co eds at Oregon who fergot there bisjckles or roller skates when out with the boy frend. Speeking of herose, whoever herd of an awthur who used a cow fer his herose’s mount? Did yew ever read: “The hansome bandit road upp on his firey steed, a pranc ing coleblack cow?” It it wuz not fer the nobull equine there wud be no m,oore mov ing pictshure cereals, and Zane Grey’s he rose wud all he walking the desert. The horse also has another use. The Collige of Noted Dames wud off had to call their herose “The Four Cowmen of the Epiletic,” or whut ever name came handy to them. Now, let’s see that there Corvallis cake-eater beat these here points. ..Till next time. Thus ends Absolom Perkin’s first brief. Watch tomorrow for the rebuttal. * * * * ORLANDO Y. BINGH.

Laurence Meynell, >rilliant young English author of “Moekbeg tar,” has written a little set which opened t’s play with “George Goes for a Walk" in he September issue. In the December issue, he dele table title is “I Shall Love Lightly, is a Loaf's Fall.” Following madly as we lid the adventures of Raehae in “Mockbeg ;ar, ’ ’ we hope we will not miss any of these hert stories.

More darn fun, and more money spent. Went ear riding last Saturday with someone nice. We stopped by a big fir'tree, and the boys pro duced a big jug, but it was only cider. We also had doughnuts, pumpkin pie, and big red apples. Who’d dream those men were so thoughtful* I saw the wrap pings, and of course they had bought the things at Underwood and Elliott’s, where all the houses get their eats. Stopped at The Cupboard, in charge of Dorris and Smith, which is located at the Leven Oak Service Station, to get some things for our feed. Made me think of a new version of the rime: Old Mother Hubbard She went to the cupboard, To get her poor dog a bone. But when she got there, The cupboard was bare And so the poor dog got none. This is the modern way: Madame de Hubbard She went to “The Cupboard,” To get her dear hubby a snack. And when she got there, so well Did she fare, that she took Most the whole Cupboard back. The house is having a rather informal dance this week-end, so H ' to Jook as ^beautif u 1 as one in my con dition could, I S y had a marvel !| ous marcel at Hastings’. I just love to go in there, for they give you such good service. * * » | .. Chrysanthemums, more chry santhemums—pink, white and yellow. All kinds and sizes for every purpose you could imagine. We ordered some for the dance I was telling you about from Eaup’s Florist Shop, and also great yellow ones for the big Homecon^ing game next week end. * * * Heard three of the very big gest song hits at the Eugene Music Shop yesterday; every one’s dippy about ’em. One was “Waitin’ for the Moon,” an Ir ving Berlin song, so you know how good it must be. Then there was one of those fascinating'iblue songs — a fox trot — called “Mighty Blue.” Also they play ed the new “Three O’clock in the Morning Song” for me, only it’s called “The Midnight Waltz.” Wouldn’t I love to dance it with my secret sorrow? * * » Did I tell you about my room mate’s new tea set? Blue lustre with orange lining in the cups— just right for telling fortunes. So we bought a ^ray at the Eugene Art & Gift Shop for it. The tray is black with a brilliant bird painted by hand on it Good looking! I m always buying stationery just to write to you and George. Today I found some lovely plaid in bine, single sheet paper at the Red Dross Drug Store on Willam ette. The 24 sheets and envel opes were only $1.00, and they had such good eolsrs. • i < Frank Loggan simply raved to nye about the classy boyish bob he saw coming out of The Co-ed Barber Shop, next to the Co-op. I didn’t know he was an admirer of the masculine type, did you? However, those barbers do give wonderful cuts, in any style you like, and it is always so conven ient to go there. There goes the bell for class. So long. CABOL.
