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.

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.

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

teieat iu ue seiaieu accorumg 10 xne
opinions of a select few.
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.

MY DEAR ANNE:—
In these busy days just before
term exams, I don’t have time
to go clear to town for a mar
cel, but of course it’s very im
portant that I look spiffy. 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.

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.
