Today’s Debate;
Worthy of Attendance
Today Oregon will engage in two debate contests. At Cor
vallis the student assembly will hear the contestants. The plan
is being received at the college with enthusiasm, and a full at
tendance seems assured. At 0. A. C. it looks to them like an
Aggie year—it always does when they have a chance—and vic
tories are the same, be they in football, debate, or basketball.
And in debate an audience means as much as it does to the grid
iron warriors.
At 3:30, in Villard hall, Oregon’s affirmative team will con
test with the 0. A. C. negative. It will not have the support of a
regular assembly audience. The visitors come vjfith the solid
support of their student body, the very same kind of support
which we have so often been told is necessary to victories on the
gridiron. Besides, the men are likely to make an eastern trip
if Oregon is defeated.
The Oregon men have little to look forward to except the
usual handful of listeners. They have no eastern trip in pros
pect,—nothing but examinations which they have ignored in
concentrating their effort upon giving Oregon a winning debate
team.
The 0. A. C. Barometer speaks of Oregon’s representatives
as making up “one of the strongest teams that has represented
the institution.” Oregon indeed has an “all-star” team.
It might be worthwhile, even in the midst of the liub-bub of
the term’s end, to spend a part of the afternoon in listening to
the debate. There is every reason for doing so. It is not only
an intellectual activity and concerns a question that should de
velop information of interest and value, but it also furnishes
that we like to believe characteristic of the Oregon student
—S. A.
We Are Criticized;
A Word F rom Dr. Bates
We recommend that the board of regents, the faculty and
the students of the University of Oregon, as well as those citi
zens interested in some aspect of higher education other than
football, read the four articles by Ernest Sutherland Bates in
the Commonweal, beginning November 4, upon “State Uni
versities.” Not that we endorse all that Dr. Bates has said,
but we sincerely believe that the above named individuals might
get something of real worth from these articles, something that
might enable each of the four classes to be of greater service to
the others.
The first subject lie handles is “The Old Visitors,” mean
ing regents in general. To those conversant with events loss
than a year past these articles have a peculiar interest. He
quotes statistics and cites examples—examples with a very,
very familiar flavor. He begins one paragraph with these
words:
“In one institution, the president, notable for having
long maintained an unusual spirit of harmony and liberal
culture on his campus, at last fell fatally ill. The regents
seized the opportunity for a “housecleaning,” in order,
as one of them said, “To make the situation easier for
the next president.”
He maintains that these “Old Visitors” spend something
like four hours a session, four times a year, in their meetings,
and intimates that they spend much more time on golf. He
holds that they have the power to hire and fire without trial not
ice or appeal, and even suggests that they oftimes know very
little about education, though they usually have the say as to
where and how the budget may be used. He laments the fact
that “ — those who rule educationally over students, instructors,
professors and presidents do not need to even have a high school
education.”
Dr. Bates is unkind. He even quotes examples and specific
instances to back these statements.
He does not, however, limit his remarks to regents. His
third article is called, “The Middle Aged Mentors.” i. e., the
faculty. Here the factory methods, the competition for num
bers, the “Missouri System,” lack of scholars and the increas
ing nuuibers of deans come in for their share of pointed criti
cism. Under existing conditions he maintains that creative
spirit in a faculty member is short-lived and scholarship is
reduced to a business transaction between him and the stu
dent.
He discusses student life under three heads, social, political
and professional. “Young Lochinvars,” he names us. lie says
that the “boy or girl who goes to college is as safe as if she
had remained in the parental town,—and no safer.” By social
life he refers to the fraternity, and states that “nowhere out
side of an anthill can one find so much misdirected energy.”
He gives us credit for being supremely skilled at wire-pulling, j
underhand trading and suppression of news in our “student !
self-government.” Athletics he refers to as the professional
life of the student, and suggests that universities pay their
athletes openly instead of secretly. Studies - these take up our
spare time, though he does say that there are a few, in spite
of all handicaps, who arc really students.
Again, we wish to state that we do not endorse all that Dr. !
Bates has said, but he has given us food for thought, however !
little we may relish it. 11 is words merit serious consideration, i

I’m an awful tough guy some

and use naughty words, but most of
the time I try to bo just as good,
and kind, and gentle as a little
lamb, because I always remember
that Xmas is comfing sometime or
other. I don’t want much this year
in the way of presents, but what I
want I want awful bad, so could
you please remember not to forget to
bring it to me? What I want most
of all is a dispositiou that will go
with my general makeup, a hard
boiled one, like Bill Dills’. And next
I want the phone number of a nice
looking girl who won’t call me
“Bobbie” the second day after
she’s introduced to me.
Thank you very much,

THE PRIZE WINNER
FOR TODAY
Another fiery steed given
away free! This time the hand
some animal goes to Ed Miller,
who recently published an auto
biography of his extensive mili
tary career, when he drilled
with a wooden gun. This wood
en horse comes directly from
Herbert Powell, who was so con
siderate as to wish him on Ed.
We are not sure at whom the
subtle smile that is gently curl
ing the steed's lips, is directed,
Mr. Powell or Mr. Miller.

Do College Students Insure Their Liv
The Answer Seems to be “Yes”
Do You Know
That in a test recently made with upper-class
students of, both sexes in fourteen representative
colleges, 140 out of 351 said they carried life Insur
ance policies?
It is significant that 40% of
undergraduates have insur
ance on their lives—a notable
advance over what prevailed
twenty, or even ten, years ago.
This shows that college stu
dents and their parents think
life insurance is of consider
able use in connection with
the educational program.
Parents believe in it because
they have something invested
for the benefit of their chil
dren. Students realize that
their lives have an economic
value.
I he John Hancock is particularly interested m insuring college men and
women and in obtaining college graduates for the personnel of the field staff.

IF your hair lacks natural gloss
and lustre, or is difficult to
keep in place, it is very easy to
} give it that rich, glossy, refined
i and orderly appearance, so essen
tial to well-groomed men.
Just rub a little Glostora
! through your hair once or twice
[ a week,—or after shampooing,and
your hair will then stay, each day,
just as you comb it.
| Glostora softens the hair and
makes it pliable. Then, even stub
| born hair will stay in place of its
own accord.
■ It gives your hair that natural,
; rich, well-groomed effect, instead
j of leaving it stiff and artificial
\ looking as waxy pastes and creams
‘ do. Glostora also keeps the scalp
! soft, and the hair healthy by re
storing the natural oils from which
‘ the hair derives its health, life,
gloss and lustre.
Try it! See how easy it is to
keep your hair combed any style
you like, whether brushed lightly
or combed down flat.
If you want your hair to lie
down particularly smooth and
tight, after applying Glostora,
simply moisten your hair with
■water before brushing it.
A large bottle of Cdostora Costs
but a trifle at any drug store.
