Intended originally to stimulate schol astic activity through publicity, the Scandal Sheet has probably “ased to exercise very much influence by that means most stu dents having become immune to its stings. Beyond doube the Scandal Sheet provides a means for parents to compare their young hopefuls’ grades with other parents young hopefuls and on that score may be defended with real argumen . But right or wrong, who would abolish the Scandal Shee What if it is running along by force of sheer inertia.

Give us our Scandal Sheets. Yell Staff in Need Of New Assistant The Yell Staff, according to the Yell King, is in quest of a new man. Recently the staff has dwindled to the sum total of two men, the King and a sophomore assistant, this means that next season will be started with but one man on the staff unless another man is selected. According to present plans tryouts will be held at the 1 a cifie game, a week from yesterday. At that time all comers will be given an opportunity to display their abilities in the art of gymnastics and arm waving. _ Under a new policy inaugurated this year all Yell Kings are to be upperclassmen and preferably seniors. Because of the responsibilities of the position which involves leadership of all student demonstrations, it has been deemed wise to select only experienced men for the position, Iherctoic all uppci classmeu who are interested in the possibilities of becoming Yell King next year, or in attaching themselves to the \ ell staff should plan* on making their first public appearance next week. The recital to be given by Mischa Levitzki tomorrow eve ning in the school of music auditorium is more than just another concert. There are many people in Eugene who want to hear artists like Levitzki, and the student concert series does not. afford them this opportunity always, due to the lack of seating capacity in any available house in the city for these altans. The question then, which lias been before the promoters ot musical activities in the city, is whether or not there are enough of these people to pay the expense of bringing such great musi cians to Eugene. . In one sense, the attempted answering of this question is the purpose of tomorrow evening’s concert. No better object of this test could have been selected than Levitzki, who is un doubtedly one of the world’s greatest pianists of the present time. In the gallery of the musical great Levitzki s name will go down with Kreisler, McCormack, I’aderwiski and the others. If the concert tomorrow evening is a success, then others will be scheduled, and students and townspeople alike will be afforded the opportunity of hearing twice the number of re citals and concerts by artists such as these, and something really satisfying and worth while. It will be a good thing for the University and especially so for Eugene, which by rights should bo* the center of the culture and cultural training of tho state. ... •• It is a test, not a trial, and is for your benefit, for if you want such concerts ami show it. you shall hare them; if not, then a few will have had the great pleasure of hearing Levitzki, and tho question will be answered.—J.

SEVEN SEERS AFTER ALL THOSE BRIGHT, SNAPPY RETORTS ON THE FRONT PAGE OF YESTERDAY’S EMERALD, WE JUST COULDN’T HELP PAYING UP FOB THE OREGANA. * * # ARMY MEN IN BITTER CONFLICT Already our brand new coach haa come up against some of the difficulties that axe awaiting him In this wild and woolly western countree. His first op ponent Is no one less than Cap tain Murray, our dashing army leader who teaches the choco late soldlerB on the campus which end of the gun you Bhoot ' out of. Captain Murray, however, throws all former reputation ' aside in proclaiming that the new coach is handsomer than he, and Coach McEwten, who knocked the co-eds for a row of goal posts when his picture | was printed in the Emerald the other day, claims the honor. It looks like a case of “You first, my dear Alphonso,” but then it may be just a desperate attempt on both their parts to affect the hard-boiledness that be comes their station. Anyway, they want the thing decided, and both suggested that ten co-eds make the deci sion. The judges may elect themselves, but both Murray and McEwan demand that they be the ten best looking girls on the campus. *###***#***#* * FAMOUS LAST WORDS * * “MAKE MINE MINCE-’ * 1 ’Tvvas Omar, who said in liis unique way, When ho should change from flesh to clay, Ho hoped to devote his mortal shape To the nourishment of tho purple grape, And from his body send a vine, From which should ripple great brooks of wine. But I would rather have my sleep, In silence — peaceful, calm and deep. These “treating" stunts I do de spise, And so in the soil I fertilize I liopo I grow no vine or tree I don’t want folks getting soused on me. And that goes. THE CAT’S MEOW In speaking of the coming tour of the University of Wash ington glee club, a Washington paper says: “Thirty will make the trip. This will include the glee club, a special quartet and the personnel for several spe cialty cats.” So far as we are concerned we do not believe this R. O. T. C. fracas will ever amount to a tinker’s con tinental until tenor banjos and ukuleles are included. SIGN ON BACK OF FORD “OPEN ON DOTTED LINE” GET GLOVES! GET GLOVES! It is reported that Jewu, Italians, and Frenchman on the campus are exceedingly silent these eold days and refuse to speak because of sold hands and freeeing temperature.

Walker, Dear Dean and University War Lords: “It is hoped that some of the rea sons for flunking may be done away with.”—Oregon Emerald. The writer, for one, sincerely wishes that all the reasons could be done away with. But why worry about what’s wrong? What’s wrong with the world is that we never ask what’s right, or something like that. The thing we want to know is what happens to all the scintillating mentalities after they receive the cheap skin. Naturally we'd ask that—sort of owe it to ourselves. But I ask that specifically because way back on the dim shores of my adolescence a little matter comes UP There were three of us kids liv ing down south, all different fami lies and my two friends much older than I. Perhaps I was the dumbest egg in the neighborhood, as a mat ter of fact, but these other boys sized up, by every rule of the game —mentally, physically, by birth and everything—as chaps who, if prop erly handled, would radiate bril liancy in future years. Their parents sent them away to schools where their mentalities would get the individual instruc tions, and not be held back by lads not quite in their strata. They said goodbye to me, the dumb one of tho trio, and started away to their school and a wonder ful future, which I knew wasn’t coming to me for already I had a six year career in high school ahead of me and I had decided I was going -rrt—the newspaper business. Silence fell between our lives. Three years later one of these boys hunted me up in San Francis co where I was working on one of these newspaper things that mold public opinion. He didn’t have the price of a ham sandwich and wanted a job for himself. I got him one on a paper and< a month later he was fired out of the place just two jnmps ahead of a remark by one of the editors that he was the stupidest human that ever had blown into that town. The other intellectual has now taken to the sea by shipping before the mast. For two yeare now that gW has been struggling to pass a U. S. examination so that he oould beeome a fourth officer or some thing. He’s now peeling spuds for the cook on a freight steamer tome wheres on the seven teas. I’m not getting anywhere, either, but nobody expected me to, so that is O. K., but I know kids who used to play in my back yard when I was in the nursery who we.re so dumb they couldn’t tit their own shoestrings until they were old enough to vote, who are the heads of big business enterprises now. So you never can tell, Dean, you never can telL Tours thoughtfully, JIM.
