Why Blame the Women?
A Co-Ed’s Viewpoint
Standardization, they tell us, is the curse of America, and
one phase of it is the way the Girl of Today—that mythical
creature— has her idiosyncrasies spilled all over the pages of
newspapers and magazines. Something ought to be done
about it.
Why should the nicotine girlies get so much publicity over
the smoking of cigarettes. Like the wearing of sweatshirts it
will lose its charm if the habit spreads to the multitude. One
of the reasons for the habit among women is the impulse to be
original—to be different—and then to have it spoiled I
We ask again, if some women want to express their individ
uality in the curves of their smoke rings why need long, long
columns be written about it ? Of course, it is clever and sophis
ticated, and space must be filled by news not so dull as accounts
of books, or art, or international politics. But is it fair to that
above-mentioned impulse to be original to invite, through much
publcity, the mediocrity of mob adoption? We think not.
There is the disadvantage in widespread indulgence, too, in
the fact that the habit once acquired is hard to break. Like
bobbed hair, it will take much patience and time to remedy the
original sin, even in the cases of sincere individual effort.
As for the men, of course, it adds another worry to their
existence—and another expense item to their budget. They
are fast losing their monopoly of ties and shirts and slickers.
And now their sovereignty of the weed is assailed. It looks sus
piciously as though it is their frantic fear that accounts in part
for this herein-protested publicity. But it’s their own fault.
The women have gone about for so long in clouds of cigarette
smoke exhaled by the masculine element, that the insidious
habit has crept upon them. And the fair ladies who protest
they smoke because they like it, and not to be blase, don’t realize
they have acquired the taste second-hand.
For the men, who are so much to blame, and yet are sincere
in their objections to their “women” smoking, this suggestion
might be adopted: Let the old chivalric custom of abstaining
from smoking in the presence of women be reinstated with
rigid enforcement; and furthermore, let no man “date” a
woman who smokes. Ten chances to one it would be effective.
But in case that fails the men might try giving up the habit
themselves. It is purely a habit; and before about the 17th
century the Anglo-Saxons were quite able to assert their mascu
linity without the attendant atmosphere of tobacco fumes.
At any rate, something ought to be done to protect the
sophisticated Girl of Today in the exclusive use of her discovery.
There really ought.—R. G.
Selection of Coach Delayed
Until Next Week
Shortly before Thanksgiving announcement was made by the
University through Portland and Eugene newspapers that def
inite information concerning Oregon’s new coach would be given
out December 10. The failure of this information to make its
appearance has resulted in widespread queries about the status
of the coaching situation, and has caused some to believe that
information is needlessly being withheld.
No information has been given out because no selection of a
coach has been made. At the time of the announcement it was
believed that Jack Benefiel, graduate manager, who was to in
terview several coaches during his trip East, would have re
turned to the campus. Difficulties in straightening out ar
rangements for the East-West New Year’s game, when Alabama
signed, signed off, and then signed again, caused such a delay
that Benefiel was forced to go straight to the Conference meet
ing at Seattle without stopping at Eugene. Hence no action
has been taken to select the coach; and it will not be until
Professor Howe, Jack Benefiel and Virgil Earl return from the
Conference meeting that the athletic committee and then the
executive council will meet to make final selection. This may
be early in the week or it may be late in the week. Because of
examinations, more or less difficulty may be experienced in
finding a satisfactory meeting time for the executive council,
although this probably can be arranged if by no other means
than midnight sessions.
In view of this situation it would appear that no facts,
which the student body has a right to know, are being with
held. A day’s notice of the executive council meeting will be
given all newspapers, and as soon as the decision is made the
news will be released.
Easing the Pressure
On Student Body Activities
It is well known that management of student activities us
ually centers on a group of students singularly small. Be it a
dance, a Homecoming or a committee of investigation, the
labors are likely to be confined to a comparatively few souls
who are at once notable and unfortunate.
Student activities are valuable only when they tend to in
crease the interest of the individual in the University. When
activities become so extensive that they divert the student from
the normal functions of the University they had best be tossed
aside and the time spent in the library. Oftentimes a reasonable
° ° amount of activity is extremely valuable in shaping a well-bal
anced education; but almost equally often does the activity re
mit in serious loss to the student scholastically.
The problem to ease the tension on the few who are over
burdened, and to provide activities for the less forward, is being
approached sensibly by the present student body government
under the guidance of Paul Ager and Walter Malcolm, who have
prepared a complete questionnaire which is to be filled out by
all students at winter-term registration, and which, it is believ
ed, will assist greatly in the work of equalizing the load. The
plan appears feasible, has been carefully worked out, and de
serves the co-operation of every student at registration.

CONFESSIONS OF A
COLLEGE MAN
Chapter I
Christmas is coming so I will lay
off the gin and buy Daisy a present
with the money saved. She is cer
tainly sore at me. Last evening we
went down town to get something
to eat and when the waitress came
to take our order she leaned over
me and said, “John, you took my
compact home with you last night.”
Well, you could have smacked me
cold with a Camel.
Daisy Gets Miffed
Daisy got herself immediately
acquainted with a half-sm|ile, half
sneer atmosphere. When the wait
ress left Daisy looked at me with
an 85c stare. “You studied too hard
last night, John,” said Daisy.
She’s hard to understand, Daisy is.
Of course I knew the waitress but
I certainly did not take her com
pact home. I tried to explain that
to Daisy but she just retained that
same expression and said, “Don’t
bother.”
Oh well, there’s always the river.
HOME SWEET HOME
We had a little tricycle all picked
out to award for today’s prize, but
the stock is sold out so we’ll have
to wait. It goes to Pete Brooks,
who voiced what is on .many stu
dent’s minds when he said, “Xmas
is coming and I’m glad. All of the
students who have been somewhat
held down here on the campus will
have an opportunity to go back to
tho old home town and raise the
devil. Then those who have been
burning too much gas during school
can also go home and rest up for
next term. Yes, indeed, Xmas comes
in mighty handy.”
FAMOUS LAST WORDS
“PLEASED TO MEET YOU,
COLONEL SINCLAIR, MY NAME
IS ED MILLER.”
FOOLING THE GOILS
(A Tragedy)
Some darling Chi Omegas (two of
them, one blonde and the other bru
nett), came to borrow a hatchet yes
terday.
“We have an ax but not a hat
chet,” said w\p.
“Oh, but we want a hatchet. We,
too, have an ax,” said they.
“But couldn’t you use an ax?”
asked we.
“We have an ax," said they.
“But, couldn’t you use an ax,
now?" we wanted to know. Think
j of the fun it would be going down

there after it. Pretty slick thinking
on our part what? Keen girls, too!
“Nope,” said they. ..“We MUST
have a hatchet.”
“We have no hatchet,” said we,
growing cold. Isn’t it funny you
can’t argue with these women.
So Just for spite we took the ax
down to the Ki-O house a little
later and asked if they had wanted
to borrow an ax. They said no. So
we told them we’d come hack after
it later. You’ve gotta nee the old
bean these days.
Well, as the Phi Bets say,

Xmas at the end of the exam

BASETBALL SQUAD TO
TOUR CALIFORNIO
Eight players and Coach
To Leave After Exams
The varsity basketball team will
essay a two-wedks ’ barnstorming
tour through California during the
Christmas holidays. Eight players
and Coach Billy Reinhart' will
leave immediately after the exams
are over, December 19, and return
January 4, 1926.
Contests have been definitely
scheduled with University of Cali
fornia, Southern Branch, Los An
geles Athletic club, San Jose’ State
Teachers’ college, Rgdlands Uni
versity, and Loyalo college of Los
Angeles. Tentative affairs have
been arranged with St. Marys, St.
Ignatius, and the Olympic club of
San Francisco, making a total of
eight games to be played in the
south.
These games are just what the
team needs most. Some 4of the
work-outs have been desultory, evi
dencing several rough spots, not
ably lack of teamwork, that must
be ironed out before the team be
comes a factor in the championship
struggle.
The six lettermen—Westergren,
Jost., Okerberg, Hobson, Gunther,
and Gillenwaters—are certain to
make the trip, with the latter also
serving as manager. Two more
players will be selected from the
remainder of the squad before their
departure.
EXAMS TO BE SCHEDULED
Mrs. Clara Lynn Fitch, secretary
of administrative offices, asks that
all irregular examinations be sched
uled with her. It is necessary to
do this as the chairs must be moved
from one class room to another, and
a professor is liable to find his
room striped of chairs. The classes
of scheduled examUnation \^ould
have the precedence.
DRAMATIC FRATERNITY
ELECTS NEW MEMBERS
Mask And Buskin Discusses
Plays for Season
Mask and Buskin, honorary dra
matic fraternity, had its first meet
ing of the year, yesterday when
they elected to membership, Edgar
Buchanan, Kfete Buchanan, Elea
nor Beckwith, Connie Roth, Arthur
Gray, and Joe Frazier, all of whom
have been prominent in campus dra
matics during their college course.
At that meeting plans for a play
to be given next term were dis
cussed, and with the promising ma

are bright for a successful season,
according to Bernard McPhillips,
president of the organization.
Mask and Buskin is one of the
oldest honoraries on the campus,
and has been active in the field of
dramatics, for ten years. In 1917
the organization became a national,
affiliating with Pi Epsilon Delta,
a national organization of the same
character. Last year the fratern
ity presented “Kempy” at the Hei
lig theatre and the “Dover Road,”
the year before. The play to be
given next term has not as yet
been ehosen, but work on this will
begin with the opening of school.
The officers for the coming year
are: Bernard McPhillips, president;
Jane BoDine, secretary; and James
Leake, treasurer and manager.
CHINESE CLUB ENTERTAINED
A Christmas tree, Santa Claus,
presents, and all the Yuletide cheer
connected with Christmas festivi
ties were enjoyed by members of
the Chinese club last night at a
party held at the home of Mrs. C.
R. Donnelly, advisor of the club.
The Chinese students furnished a
program of music for the affair.
