Day Editor—Mary Conn Night Editor—Boland Sellers Assistant—Dick Jones L All Hail the New Captain and His Team-mates A1 Sinclair is to be congratulated upon the honor he re ceived last night when he was elected captain ot the Oregon football team. The new captain, like his predecessor, is both athlete and scholar, a splendid combination. Why Not Give Our Buildings Respectable Names? Worthy of serious notice is Professor Dunn’s suggestion that significant names be given the various structures on the Oregon campus. Grievous for certain is our habit of designat ing several buildings with uncolorful names as Commerce, “Women’s Building,” “Music” and “Education. The sug gestion that the University honor great personalities or North west Indian lore by affixing significant names to University halls is thoroughly valid and deserves recognition m the-way of action being taken to bring about the desired ends. A Request To Out of Town Emerald Subscribers Recently it has come to the attention of the Emerald that several subscribers on the mailing list have failed to receive the Emerald regularly. The Emerald is published five d y a week, And if copies do not reach the subscriber with unfail ing regularity it is indicative thal something is amiss either with the mails or with the mailing department. The circula tion manager of the Emerald requests that all subscribers not receiving the Emeralds drop him a postcard, and a close check up will be made. Concerning Correspondence To The Emerald The very livest part of a University daily should be the communication column. University students are the most adept persons in all the world when it comes to expressing opinions; yet who can say that the Emerald communication column bears the earmarks of even faint scintillation? It’s not that the student body is of the opinion that every thing is as it should be—or shouldn’t be. From al sides one hears severe condemnation of this or that, and equally pointed words of praise. But do these opinions find their way into print? They do not. The editor and his associates—-strange situation—are the only persons day after day that fling their opinions to the University public. Such monotonous repetition of editorial attitude must- indeed become monotonous to the suffering reader. , Noms de plume for print may be used, although the editor must have the name of the writer. The strange part about communications is the half terrified reluctance witli which most persons give permission to have the true name of the wntei appended. They do not realize, apparently, that a signed ar tide is worth ten times more than one that is unsigned, and is certain of a much more careful reading. The Emerald welcomes communications. SEVEN SEERS HIEU8 PINCHPENNY’S DIARY Up early with a full design to mind nothing this day but my own business, but. Lord! No sooner did I start buttoning my brave vest and atomising my cravat with vanilla than the door belle did ring and it was a call from Colonel Sinclair and his dog. And he was in a mighty fury over the many floas which do bother said pooche. We did give him two capsules of sulphur and a spoon ful of asafidity. Albeit, ho does hold his dog in high es teem and it does grieve him be yond anything else in the world to see him lay back his ears and scratch for a flea. So to 1 class and to scriveuing faint heartedly. * * * In days of old, ' When knights were bold, It was a rnerrib treat; The Eleanor Glyns all starved to death, i And the poets all did eat. HUSH, LITTLE 0RESTS, DON’T YOU CRY: YOU’LL BE BREAD1 PUDDING BYE AND BYE. » * * i OMIGOSH! (Oregon Rural Item) Most of us have been enjoy ing spare-ribs and back bones bones of lute as thero were seven families butchered in the neighborhood the past week. Why all the hubub about Mu j [.Ferguson? As a politician wo ven ture to say that Salome had her iknocked off her bicycle. Anyhow history says: ’’Salome’s mtoticjns be fore the house wero received with great applause.” With that in mind think how effectively Governor Pierce might have used the talents of Evan Burrows Fontaine or Gilda Gray in further holding off the Portland representatives at the recent mooting at Salem. Another teller of untruths, ’ Is Miss Perriwtyikle Oats; She says, “Of all the sororities We have the most fur coats.” J “Do you like Kipling?” “I don’t know, I never kipplod.” Today, ladies and gentlemen, we take the utmost pleasure in awarding the prize of a Canvas Folding Enameled Bathtub to Fay Millett of Nebraska, the boy with the coon skin coat. This young man always felt out of place at a party. Should he have ordered chicken salad, please? You. too, can get the equivalent of a college educa tion by reading 15 minutes a day from "Are You Afraid to Love.” No! He chose another way, he learned to play the musical saw. Now he is popu lar and the cynosure of many admiring eyes at all social functions.

O. HOSAFAT. afte Chameleon BY JIM It seems to be the consensus of opinion that football is over-empha sized. Many prominent college presidents, never before heard of, have come out against this popular game. At Harvard the works-that be blame the newspapers for dous ing the gridiron with red ink. The Cambridge spokesman says he would be glad if the sport pages never mentioned a player’s name at all. All right, Harvard! Are you ready? Here’s the story of next year’s Harvard-Yale game under your own rules: Somewhere in New England, late in November—Two famous univer sities met today for the annual gridiron classic. The team repre senting a well-known color was first on the field. Shortly after it |was followed by the other outfit, which was clad in close-fitting tun ics of knit goods. The rival captains met at a clois tered rendevous near the middle of the field and a coin of unknown value was tossed for the choice of goals. The winner of the toss will be known Monday morning when a sealed verdict will be brought in. There were approximately 11 men on each side as the teams lined up. This count is semi-official. Team X kicked off to Izzy-, the half back of the opposing team. The ball was run back in an easterly fashion for a substantial gain. Anon ymous team X’s star fullback made an undetermined number of yards off tackle. He was downed by a light-haired fellow. (Details of the next 38 minutes' of play deleted by censor.) On the next play four sport writ ers had their passports cancelled and were thrown out of the press box for an eight-column loss. Neither team kicked. A handsome brute with pearly j teeth grabbed a forward pass out j of the air and scored a touchdown, j On one side of the field there was' wild cheering from an authentic source that declined to permit the use of its name. The attempt to score the point from touchdown was frustrated, but the War department refused to say whether it won by an infantry or a cavalry attack. Score: (See minutes of the January meeting of the Board of Overseers.) The next kickoff was received by Nameless, the masked marvel of team X’s backfield, and run back for a distance that was quite a sur prise. Coach-of team A sent in a stream of substitutes wearing false mustaches and putty noses. Team X booted a high punt, the length of which officials refused to comment on beyond admitting it came close to violating the blue sky law. Only a few minutes remained to be played, according to Eastern standard time, when a chap with blue eyes fumbled a punt. The management contended his eyes were brown and denied he had a wart on his forehead. There was a controversy over the physical de scription of the fnmbler, and in the midst of the confusion a warrior clad in a jerBey of a primary color scooped up the ball and scored a touchdown. Time was called just as the goal was kicked. The final score will be formally announced at a tea dansant to be given by Mrs. Tafferton at her Bea con Hill residence Tuesday after noon. There will be a cover charge. THE HELLO SYSTEM The Oregon Daily Emerald com plains because somebody else com plained that the university’s '“hello spirit” is dying out. If this is true, says the Emerald, it is too bad. On the contrary, if it is true, it is the best sign of sanity the uni versity could hope for. The idea that any good comes from saying “hello” to every Tom, Dick, Lizzie Harry and professor that happens to be met is mbre than ridiculous, jt is asinine. We have heard prop erly brought up girls complain that smart-Alecks take advantage of the absurd teaching that “democracy” should be thus encouraged. They are accosted with a silly “hello” whether or not they wish to know or to speak to the speaker. We have heard professors make the same complaint. For a dean to have some upstart whom he doesjn’t know meet him on the campus and say “hello” is naturally calculated to arouse the indignation ot any seir respecting professor or anybody else. Why not encourage democracy by urging the green-capped pursuers of education to slap the teachers or their fellow students, male ior fe male, on the back? It certainly would bring them into closer contact than the cold and distant “hello” which, we fear, is altogether too aristocratic. Why encourage a fool system that will bo immediately discouraged as sdon as the student leaves school? What will the rest of the world think of the graduated gink who goes down Broadway with his di ploma under his arm saying “hello” to everybody he meets? A University has all classes of people in it. All they need to get there are the proper scholastic cre dentials. Hundreds lof them go there who could not get ijito the so-called respectable circles in their own home towns. Hoes transfer renee to a scholastic atmosphere transform them by some hokus pokus into genuine ladies and gentle men whom other ladies and gentle men want to meet? By all means cfncourage oppor tunities for getting acquainted un der a proper introductory system. By all means discourage snobbery if all kinds. By all nieans impress upon the students that “all men are created equal” so far as the |av and opportunities are concern ed, but by no means encourage pro miscuous acquaintanceship through Grill Dances FRIDAY, SATURDAY $1.00 Cover Charge Ye Campa Shoppe Phone 229-R for Reservations the fool idea of urging everybody to speak to everybody else whether the one addressed wants bo be spoken to hr nof.

CLUB FOR RADIO FANS MAY BE ORGANIZED Paul Hoppe, a former University student, who is at present part owner in a radio shop on West Seventh street, has offered to help organize a club for the “radio fans” on the campus, if interest is mani fested in such a project. There has been no definite action toward organization this year, al though a club for the purpose of study and investigation was in ex istence last year. A course leading to examinations for obtaining li censes as ship radio operators, and study along the same lines will probably be attempted if a club is organized this year.
