A Subject of Dispute;
Almost a Tradition
While on the subject of grades it might be well to mention
briefly one of the most hated, cherished, abhorred and beioved
of Oregon institutions—the Scandal Sheet, known in polite
cLks S one of the several issues of the University of Oregon
N*Btery1so1often someone breaks loose into a tirade agpgf
the Scandal Sheet. “It’s nobody’s business— etc., etc. Per
haps yes perhaps no. 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 .

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. W. L.

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.

In speaking of the coming

paper says: “Thirty will make
the trip. This will include the
glee club, a special quartet and
the personnel for several spe

So far as we are concerned we
do not believe this R. O. T. C. fracas

To Doan H. 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.
