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.

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.

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

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.

\ifhen it’s the night oj
the season’s most festive dance—
and Mimiy herself, has consented
to go —when in a last moment
before starting you thank
your good fortune
—have a Camel!
Into the making of this one cigarette goes alt of the ability
of the world’s largest organitation of expert tobacco men.
Nothing is too good for Camels. The choicest Turkish
and Domestic tobaccos. The most skilful blending. The
most scientific package. No other cigarette made is like
Camels. No better cigarette can be made. Camels are the
overwhelming choice of experienced smokers.
<
O 1926
WHEN the night of the
famous prom has come
—and you contemplate
your luck and your
greatness — have a
Camel!
For Camel adds of its
own romance to every
memorable event. Camels
never tire the taste, never
leave a cigaretty after
taste. When you light a
Camel, you may know
you are smoking the
world’s mellowest
cigarette.
So this night, as you
fare boldly forth to
society’s smartest and
gayest affair—learn then
how sympathetic, how
really fine and friendly a
cigarette can be.
Have a Camel!
Our highest wish, if you do
not yet know Camel qual
ity, is that you try them.
k We invite you to compare
r Camels with any cigarette
made at any price.
