Best Not to Start a
New Oregon Magazine
At a meeting held last Friday, it was decided by all those
present that a new Oregon magazine should be started imme
diately. 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.

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.

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,
