The Highest Scholastic Honor To Be Achieved: Phi Beta Kappa Announcement of fall Phi Beta Kappa elections calls atten tion to those persons who, in the first three years of their college careers have succeeded best in attaining the ends for which every one, ostensibly, enrolls in a University. An election to Phi Beta Kappa is an indication of scholarly application and en deavor for a student’s entire college career, and as such may rightfully be considered one of the highest awards to be achiev ed by a college student. Those who-have been elected to Phi Beta Kappa are to be heartily congratulated. Oregon Appreciates the Services of Richard Shore Smith To Advisory Coach Dick Smith the University owes and extends an expression of firm apprecation for his services dur ing the past several years. With no reason other than to assist Oregon, Smith accepted the urgent invitation submitted to him last fall, and agreed to take charge of the varsity coaching until a permanent mentor could be secured. This past season was not the first Dick Smith has jumped in to help when needed. For the past several years Dick Smith has always been ready to help lend the final punch before cru cial games; and it is well know*, that the influence of Dick Smith has been strongly felt in past years. And so it is, Mr. Dick Smith, loyal alumnus, we are grate ful to you.for services rendered. Your assistance, given at a time when needed most, is sincerely appreciated. Would that all of us were as loyal as you have proven. The University Welcomes The High School Guests Starting today are the various high school conferences to which the University is host; and to the people attending these conferences the University extends a cordial welcome. In contrast to the entertainment afforded high school guests at Junior week-ends in past years, these visitors will find the University as it is throughout the year. No stilted attitude is affected this week-end. Rather, an attempt is being made to provide the delegates with every facility to carry out to the best advantage their conferences, and incidentally to acquaint these people with actual workings of a great University. To the young women delegates we say—If the college men say “Hello,” and to the young men visitors we say—If the col lege girls say “Hello,” do not be perturbed. This is a custom and a tradition of our University. We invite you to participate, and to consider yourselves one of us during your brief visit. Four Years Ahead of The Times; More War on War Introduction of a text book on military training at the Col lege of the City of New York recently precipitated an attack on University military training. The attack has attracted nation wide commendation in newspapers and magazines, among these being Oswald Garrison Villard’s “Nation.” The attack has been centered particularly at passages in the text book which advocates in close combat the gouging out of the opponent’s eyes, besides sundry other kindred niceties, and gives implicit instructions that sportsmanlike conduct has ab solutely no place in warfare. Many other portions of the hook make interesting reading, i fthe reader be not too squeamish, but most certainly take the romance and the chivalry out of warfare. It will be recalled that four years ago the Oregon student body, led by the Emerald, declared war on war in much the same manner as the New York students are doing today. Al though military training; is still here today, many Oregon stu dents will rejoice at the New York revolt. Military training at Oregon today is justified possibly in theory, but in practical re sults it must be confessed that the burden of proof remains with the military advocates. The men do not show the results of discipline, physical improvement, or mental proficiency, and, judging from appearances, for the most part the University of Oregon army would be only at home in Napoleon’s grand flight from Russia. Pertinent Questions For The Graduate Manager Here are a few questions which have been going the rounds since the agitation for abolishing baseball made its appearance. lias the graduate manager deliberately worked to abolish baseball without first consulting the wishes of his constituents who are, in every instance, the ones who pay the bills and who receive the benefits and losses from the sportf The graduate manager has worked diligently and faithfully in making money on football; but has he neglected to put equal efforts into placing other sports on a paying basis? Would it not be possible to place baseball on a firmer basis by building better bleachers and giving the sport additional support ? These questions may appear a bit severe, but in consideration of the fact that the graduate manager w ill not return to Eugene before attending the Seattle Conference meeting, it seems reas onable that the student body should make known their queries and their wishes. If the graduate manager and Oregon’s representative at the Conference can answer these questions satisfactorily, or better yet, can return from the meeting with baseball’s future assured, all will be well. If not—and particularly if baseball is thrown out—the Oregon representatives are likely to be greeted with an embarrassing reception. In case a few of the colleges withdraw baseball teams from the Conference, Oregon’s representatives should assist in form ing a league with the remaining schools. SEVEN SEERS 1 GREETINGS, STRAWNGERS! WE SIN-SEERLY HOPE THAT YOU ALL HAVE A MOST STREN UOUS WEEK-END, A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR. * * * THE PRIZE WINNER FOR TODAY Mystic symbol of the East! Friend of man! Insult of ■ women! This pure white ele ! phant, measuring 242 cu. ft. (9 ft. high, 4 ft. thick and 7 ft. from tail to trunk) goes to Fran ces Burnett because of her great love for animals of all sizes and kinds. The beast has a very loving disposition, is healthy, strong and will follow behind its owner as gently as a lamb. We suggest that Frances feed it twelve dozen beefsteaks a week, and as many choc malts. If well fed and housed, Frances could ride it to the campus every morning, and she wouldn’t be late to her eight o’clock. * # # A thrilling horse race was staged in the hall of the Journalism Shack yesterday afternoon, just before dinner time, one in which proud horse flesh was displayed to its fuhest advantage. Margo Vineent astride galloping window poles and “Handsome” Jack O’Meara toro down the track at a hair-raising speed at the sound of the starting shot, fired by Sol Abramson. Margo leapt forth to a thrilling finish in the last two feet, winning by a noso as Art Priaulx lowered the flag. In the g'allery many beautiful gowns woro seen, and among the other horses necks were craned, collars wore wilted and laughs ro souiuled. We’d like to know1 what the California club thinks of the way the Phi Delts do the Charleston. Is that the dope? If so, we’ll have our hip thrown out of joint so we can do it, too. DOUGH-NOTES Esther Davis says that of all the dumb bunnies she has over seen the one who crabbed because the holes in the doughnuts were too small takes the cake. Personally, we thought one was quite filling, but we saw four on Mr. Turnbull’s desk, partly concealed under a paper. ACCORDING TO THOSE IN CHARGE, THE SALE WAS A SUCCESS, AS NOT ONE HOLE WAS LEFT. • • » RESUMEE The football season’s gone and CHARLIE DOBIE!

Communications According to present indications a move to abolish intercollegiate baseball will be made at a meet ing of the conference representa tives in Seattle on December tenth. The vote of the University of Ore gon at this meeting is in the hands of Professor Howe. Other repre sentatives from here will be Mr. Benefiel and Mr. Earl. Should these delegates vote in favor of the abolition of baseball they will, os tensibly, bo voicing the opinion of the student body of this Univer sity. Each one of these men is morally bound to voice the opinion of the majority of their constitu ents, they are responsible to the associated students, and, faculty advice being absent in this case, should vote as they are directed to vote by the taxpayers of the student body. Theso men will re ceive their instructions largely from the athletic committee. The members of the athletic committee are Walter Malcolm, Ken Stephen son, Del Stanard and the above mentioned men. This committee welcomes student advice and opin ion on athletic matters. Every in vidual member of the student body who has an opinion in this matter should take it upon himself to in form any one or all of these men of his desires. They cannot render a fair and intelligent vote unless they are informed and, moreover, the student body has in too many cases allowed matters of general in Special Feature Saturday Nite, Dec. 5 Skating 7:30 to 11 p. m.

It is the opinion of the writer that intercollegiate baseball should not be discontinued. There are too many men participating each year, there are too many students inter ested in the game as spectators, and there are too many townspeople who enjoy the contests to allow it to be discarded for financial or climatic reasons. What if baseball ' does lose money each year! So ■ does basketball, ; track, wrestling, and tennis. Look in the report of the graduate manager for last year and you will see that baseball lost less money than either basketball or track. What would happen to the attendance at baseball games if some provisions could be made to handle the crowds? Not once last year were there enough seats to accommodate the people in at tendance. If the graduate manag ers office would expend one half of the energy now put on adver tising football upon the advertis ing of baseball we would see a marked increase in interest large ly because of a. lack of support from those who manage our ath letic affairs. Neither spectators nor players at baseball games have1 ever seriously complained of the | weather and yet students still sit in the rain at football games and! track men still run and jump in j the pouring rain of early spring. | But no one thinks of abolishing football or track. There’s room for argument on this baseball matter and it would be a shame if our delegates' to Se attle would vote against baseball unless the entire student body fav ored the abolition. The student body pays the bills and the student body hires the graduate manager. Student sentiment is needed in this case.

This difficult problem is solved, though, because The Rose La Vogue beauty parlor, just back of the Co-op, is open again, and we can run down there between classes. Their work is just right and the marcels stay for such a long time. I must make an appointment with them now; jitheir phone is 1288. V • • We girls have discovered a new place to get chili, sand wiches and such good things when we need a little lunch—the University Cafe, on the corner of Thirteenth and Alder, close to the campus. In these days, just before Christmas, when cash is low, it pays to go there, because they give the best for less. • * * Violets, deep, dark blue vio lets, and marvelously perfumed. They make you think of snow and fur coats and Xmas bustle. We got some yesterday at Raup’s Florist Shop. Also have order ed a basket for Marge, who is in the infirmary. • # * And more Christmas shopping. ' With exams and term problems one should not find time to shop,^ but how to resist the things in the various shops, and especially in “The Little Shop Around the pCorner. ” Best# bridge scores and Chinese brass things, and loads of novelties. Just what you are looking for. Had another chat with the barbers at the Co-ed Barber Shop, right back of the Co-op. They gave me one of their usual classy shingles, and now I feel quite well-groomed. We always run down there between classes when we want a cut in a hurry, because we’re sure of getting it. * • • Underwood $ Elliott are get- { ting ready for Christmas, too, I in the way of sweet things, any- I way. They have pressed figs, [ new dates, and every sort ofqg nuts, including some big Dorris filberts, which were grown at Springfield. We also bought some marvelous chocolates there yesterday — makes my mouth water yet thinking of ’em. * * • Perhaps you don’t know, but loads of girls are letting their hair grow, and when it gets to that terrible stage that one can’t do a thing with it, it’s awful. Well, go to Hastings’ Sisters with your hair that was cut off, and they will make it up very cleverly into switches that make it look long. No more time to write now, Anne dear, so will quit for this time. Yours, CABOL.
