The consolidation with Old Oregon, it was felt would be unwise. The Emerald is inclined to doubt the wisdom of attempt ing to do other than effect an Old Oregon consolidation at this time. To unite with Old Oregon would insure immediately a thriving magazine with possibilities far above that of the finan cially precarious new magazine. The prospect of achieving a really representative University of Oregon magazine appears more feasible approached in that way, than by launching a new publication which would be a deadly rival and not a fused ally of Old Oregon. Give the Varsity a Big Send-Off for the Seattle Game The Oregon Varsity leaves today for its last game of the 1925 season. Invading the University of Washington at Seattle the Oregonians will attempt to topple the Huskies from their newly-gained pedestal of near-championship. Judging from the tenor of the University of Washington Daily, the northern folk are scared to death that Thanksgiving will see a repetition of last year’s affair. We hope that is exactly what happens. We hope the Ore gonians go “hog-wild” and once again do the impossible. We hope the Oregon men will throw themselves recklessly into the fray, with the spirit of everything to win and nothing to lose, and emerge victors! Not very good reasoning, say the dopesters. Perhaps not. But Oregon isn’t beaten until the last whistle—as has been shown all this season. Therefore, with good sense, we refuse to listen to reason. Most of us cannot attend the game at Seattle; but all can give the team a big send-off tonight when it boards the Shasta. Be there! A Fair Means of Settling The $60.00 Fight Over the Yellow Fang Sigma Delta Chi, men’s professional journalism fraternity, maintains that the Homecoming committee is morally bound to pay Sigma Delta Chi the sum of $60.00 to cover the print ing charges of the Yellow Pang, mud slinging publication, which was published during Homecoming and which Sigma Delta Chi asserts was to be sold during the Homecoming rally. For various reasons the Yellow Pang was not sold; and Sigma Delta Chi, as many will gleefully admit, holds $60.00 worth of high grade burlap sacks. The Homecoming committee, appraised of the situation through its chairman, has made no effort to reimburse Sigma Delta Chi, and from all appearances will continue to maintain its present attitude. In the meantime, Sigma Delta Chi in deed holds the sack. The Emerald makes this suggestion for the solution of the difficulty: Let a jury of unbiased students bo chosen; let Judge Skipworth preside; let student lawyers plead; in short, let witnesses be called; let Sigma Delta Chi sue the Homecoming committee for the $60.00. And let it be agreed that the winner and the loser gracefully abide by the decision. If the Home coming committee wins— let Sigma Delta Chi forever hold the sack; and if Sigma Delta Chi wins—let the Homecoming committee pungle over the $60.00. How about it? Pointing Out the Pipes; Also the Stiff Courses Recently Harvard students published a guide to University courses, giving therein a full account of a large portion of the Harvard undergraduate courses. This, without doubt, was a boon to new students, for it gave not only information on the content and worth of the courses, but gave also personality sketches of the professors. When one considers the benefits from a document of that soit, he weeps for the lack of it on the Oregon campus. The Registrar’s report of the segregation of grades bids fair to assist ably in filling the dire need caused by the lack of a kindred Harvard publication. A fall classification of grades released in the past few days brings to light once again the glaring deficiencies in the grade system which were pointed out in the spring grade report published early last week. Political Science with 30.17 per cent failures again loads the casualty list, 16 points higher than its nearest casualty com petitor, History. As the case for the spring term, Normal and Fine Arts, Drama, Education, Latin, Greek and Music are prac tically without failures. Included in the high markers for the fall term are Fine and Normal Arts, Drama, Greek, Journalism, Latin, Military, Music and Sociology, many of whom were found in the spring term high markers. Military and Music gave 18 per cent i’s, where as Fine Arts gave but 2 per cent of I’s. Faculty members should take careful notice of the regis trar’s reports and should make every effort to provide more equitable grades in the future than in the past. To The Editor ^ Nov. 21, 1925.’*’ Editor of The Emerald, Eugene, Ore. Admired and Esteemed Fellow Writer: I have taken the liberty of send ing you a-copy of this week’s issue 'of The Spectator, which contains a good-natured article dealing with the cataclysm that occurred last Saturday on Hayward Field, and asking if, under the catastrophic circumstances, the University did not have greater need of a new foot 1 ball coach than of a President. This seetms to mo to be a highly impor tant question, to which I am quite certain you have given some thought. Don’t you think that in I.this day of self-determination, the matter might be left to a vote of the students? If, about the burn ing question of thj» day, you say anything in the Emerald, won’t you bo kind enough to send me a<, copy of the paper? 1 Hoping to hear front you, and with the very kindest regards, I am yours truly, HUGH HUME. | From The Spectator 0 --——<> / I tun wondering if at the present ■moment the University of Oregon is in as much need of a president as of a new football coach. From •what I am told by some of the charlming young women and discon solate young men who sat on the mourner’s bench and wept at the game on Saturday, I am willing to wager apples to applesauce that, the student body is prepared to vote unanimously on the proposition to forget about a new president and get a team-inJaking coach. These beautiful and intelligent students jassure me that with the impetus the University gained through Pres ident’s Campbell’s administration, it can safely and surely sail on the even tenor of its educational keel for some time, but that unless a 'coach is found who can put the old V.ipbing into the University of Ore gon football players the institution will lose its morale. “I wouldn’t whisp a sylb that might bo thought derog to Dick Smith” one of the students told 'me. ‘‘Dick is a G. O. S.—none bet. We’re all fond of him; indeed we all 1- li. s. 411. that maybe we won’t do as I10 tells us. You know? You get to like a chap so much that you don’t believe in him as a coach. He a fino foot baller; 011b of the b. in t. w.; but when the U can’t beat that bunch of radishes from the Corvallis truck farm, why, it simply isn’t a prexy we need but a real li. to g. coach.” Another student informs me that under the present plan of adminis tration, the University is progress ing admirably in its classroom work. “The conduct of purely mental studies is wholly satisfactory, and in these matters the University maintains its splendid high place aimong the great institutions of the Coast. But we have flunked shock ingly in football, and until we find a coach who can put on the field a winning team, we hardly need speak of a president. In my opinion, it is extremely doubtful — indeed, barely conceivable—that we could get the right kind of a man to ac cept the presidency while our foot ball team is in its present deplorable slump. I do not agree with the Phi Delta Phi members who propose that we have as the head of the University a man who would bo at once coach and president; I believe 1 express the sentiments of the Sigma Delta Chi in saying that the services of a real coach aro of too great value to the’ University to per mit him to dissipate his energies in looking after what may bo consid ered as the non-essentials of the !n stitution.” Of course, the way to find out if the students prefer a coach to a president is through a plebiscite of the University. I renew imy pro posal of the wager that, in view of what happened on Hayward Field on gloomy Saturday, the vote Mull fn\or the coach. The question is be fore the students: STUDENTS’ BALLOT Do you believe the highest inter ests of the University would be best served by the immediate selection of a PKESIDENT FOOTBALL OOACH Vote X after your choice The hope is expressed 'that the students at the Oregon Agricultural College will kindly keep out of this; they caused trouble enough on Sat urday. It is certain they would stuff the ballot for a president. —Spectator (Portland, Ore). Nov. 21, 1925. ' —-- —■ ■ ■ O To The Spectator 0 -o Mr. Hugh Hume, Editor of the Spectator, Portland, Oregon. Dear Mr. Hume: The copy of the November 21 issue of the Spectator has reached me and I am in receipt also of your personal note asking my opinions on the all. important and burning question of the day at the Univer sity—“Which Do We Need the Most —Coach or President?” I hasten to give the Spectator the benefit of my opinions. I hope you will not be offended if I BUggest that I thought I de tected a slight insinuation in your article to the effect that University students dd not know what is best for their Alima Mater. To be frank, 1 thought this thrust a bit unkind; so I shall call you to task to the extent of demonstrating that Uni versity of Oregon students are in telligently aware of the grave crises that face them. In the first place, knowing the class of readers to which the Spec tator appeals, and being aware of the enviable reputation of integrity and good sen'se which is enjoyed by your journal, I was rather dis mayed to find that you assumed there were two sides to the ques tion; that is to say, that you as sumed that the Oregon undergrad uate vote on the subject might be split. Evidently your stay on the cam pus last week end was limited. Had you mingled extensively with the student body you would have dis covered mjost convincing evidence to substantiate my opinion on the proposition: That Oregon students want a coach and not a president. After last week-end anyone ought to know that much. But to get down to coaches and presidents—we want a coach and don’t care a snap of our fingers about a president. If Dean Pound or A. Meikeljohn or oven Mr. Eliot himself were all waiting at the Southern Pacific depot with one dollar a year offers for the job we wouldn’t send a taxi or even a cam pus Ford for them, unless they would give us a good story telling us what fine people we are so we could get some good publicity in the Portland papers. (Of course, wo would take one or two of thelm if the rest of the $10,000 president’s salary could bo applied on a good coach like Bezdek or Pop Warner or Knuto Eoekne). You know, I beliove you heard it right from the bench warmers when you were down here, only you didn’t stay long enough to hear it all- Putting it right from the shoulder, we want a eoast champion football team and • not so darn much of this Oxford stuff. We need a stadium a lot 1 worse than we do high scholarship. 1 Stadiums bring publicity and schol arship doesn’t. Oregon is a' Great University. You will have to admit that. . . . Granted. . . All right. . . WHO MADE IT THAT WAYf ... The •students? .... The faculty?. . . . The alumni? .... President Camp bell? .... No!! BEZDEK MADE! IT THAT WAY! If it hadn’t been for Bezdek we wouldn’t have half the buildings we have today. And if he was still here we would have a stadium. Just think what Bezdek did ‘for Oregon. When he and the team got through they made Penn, look posi ' tively ill. That’s what the boys like to talk about when they get together and that’s the stuff that I makes a University. The trouble with you and your kind of folks is that you don’t have the right sense of values. You for get that we play to win nowadays and not for the sport of playing. That’s old fashioned as the dickens. Furthermore, you (must remember that games today are between coaches and not players. For in stance, in a couple of years down in Cal. they’ll be letting Pop War ner and Andy Smith fight it out on the field with nothing in the shape of players except a flock of check ers or chesman. It’s the coaches’ brains that count and nothing else. The more brains the coach has, the more publicity to the University, and publicity is worth money to anybody Also, you forget that a good coach will get a lot more publicity than a president. So why bother with a prexy? We got a lot more students this year than last and that’s what counts—Bigger and Better—if you have a good coach. Finally, let me say that we don’t go to college these days to get an education. We come .to learn to train for rallies to cheer the teams to victory. A college that has a good list of cheers is better off than one that has a fine bunch of deans. It’s the rah-rah boys that count these days. Also, it’s the winning teams that make stadiums, and stadiums make universitiete! Bring on the Bezdeks and away with the presidents. We want a stadium. Well, hoping you get right on this, and hoping you realize editors must never eschew irony, I am, Very resp. yours, Your oblig. servant, EDWAED M. MILLEB, Editor, Oregon Daily Emerald SEVEN SEERS NOW THAT THE CHARLESTON IS TABOOED JUST AS WE LEARNED TO DO IT, WE’D BET TER BEGIN PRACTICING THE VIRGINIA REEL. • * * With great pride and joy, we an nounce the winners of last week’s Limerick contest, along with their last lines.
