Dame Rumor has it that a prominent and sternly witty (yet beloved and. esteemed) professor upon hearing the resolution, vaulted to his feet and solemnly suggested that the motion be turned over to the enter tainment committee. Rumor doesn’t tell us of the applause, but there must have been great quantities of laughter. Of course, it isn’t clear who’s going to be entertained— the students or the faculty—and for fear of saying the wrong thing we refrain from conjectures. Doubtless the above men tioned quartet of weeds among, the flowering intellect of the faculty would be a most astounding sight. Speaking of conjectures, it is most fetching to ponder upon the outcome of the motion. Will they—-or won’t they—admit mere students into the most Holy of Holies of education? This is the time, perhaps, for great arguments on the right eousness of student participation in their town education. By all rules of warfare the undergrads should up on their feet and fight for their rights. That’s what our conscience tells us to do; but, frankly, we haven’t the energy. Furthermore, if the faculty decides to let the students in—in they will go. If not, all the soap-box oratory on the campus probably wouldn’t give them the right to peek in the keyhole. From a student viewpoint it appears reasonable that under graduate representatives should have the privilege of knowing the whys and wherefores of faculty actions which practically always bear directly on student welfare. It is difficult to see where any harm could come of it, and very easy to imagine that many useless faculty-student conflicts and misunderstand ings might be averted. For instance, in the recent language requirement discussion, stories were carried in newspapers the day following the faculty meeting stating that the language department was to be investigated. This was error, and caused by second-hand information. If the students knew the exact significance of faculty actions many kindred situations might be averted. The Emerald, for its part, hopes sincerely that the motion will pass. Sherwood Anderson, Modern Writer To Honor Campus Sherwood Anderson, non-conformist and bad boy of modern letters, is'to deliver a lecture at Villard hall Monday evening. To students of literature, or to those who read current fiction, even casually, this should be an announcement of more than passing interest. Whether one likes Anderson or dislikes An derson, or knows him not at all makes little difference-lie represents a certain movement in modern poetry and fiction, and it is a movement that cannot be overlooked. Sonic of our old and reputable magazines have felt its in fluence and current fiction is colored, and sometimes quite highly colored with it. Call it rot, realism, the modern revolt against Victorian sentimental romanticism, exquisite artistry or what not, this much we are forced to admit: it represents a side of life, perhaps disgusting and even nauseating, which, after all. must be considered if we are to arrive at any just portrayal of modern life. We may not find it possible to believe that life, even in Winesburg, Ohio, is as dark and futile as Anderson pictures it. We must admit, however, that he paints most vividly and with an overwhelming frankness, what is true to Sherwood Anderson, as Mr. Thacher has said. We are curious, very curious to hear this man, to see what manner of being he may be, this unafraid person who has poked his fist into the stomach of literary tradition and American Victoriauism. Of course we shall hear what some of our “little groups of serious thinkers” have to say of him before we pass judgment. This much is certain: he is one of the fore most writers in a significant movement, and we may expect something original and not at all of the usual campus lecture stamp. He should be worth hearing. —H. A. K. SEVEN "SEERS “I OWE IT ALE TO MY WAVY HAIR ANP THE MANUAL OF AKMH.”—A1 Sinclair, eommtuuler in chief of the Lemon Yellow Anthro poid*. Al cut his teeth on a riflo butt and is a master stragetieist, having gone through an opt ire review in his official capacity of No. 3 in the rear runk, while chewing tobacco and without swallowing once. The Seers note with interest the suggestion that Oregon buildings be gtrep more euphonious names. The substitution of Indian and local names would be especially good. So you may hear, in the near future, something like the following: "Where ya going?” "Oh, I just thought I’d drop over to Shysterlskiyou hall and see if the law library’s open.” "Dome on over to the *Dead-eye Smith Cabin, I want to get my slicker.” “Naw. Tell you what I’ll do. though. I’ll see you pretty soon over at assembly in the Squaw’s Teepe. They tell me Eugene Carr’s lgoing to gargle a couple.” ♦Note: Dead-eye Smith is a char ! acter of the early days of Myrtle I Point famous throughout Douglas 'bounty. He was an intrepid trapper, hatching everything from the : measles to hell from the missus, with the enviable record of not hav ing missed a free lunch in 15 years. Vigorous slaps on the back may encourage a democratic spirit, as the Corvallis Gazette Times suggest, but Kollo, our adopted frosh, who was up on the library step week before last, doesn't think so much of the idea. i We have here the pin of the lat est national to "bo installed on the campus—the Anvil Boys. Charter members include Dave Graham, Obak Wallace and Doc. Del Stanard as beloved pioneers—as vicious a trio of hammer swingers as ever tossed off a sneer at a yell rally. On the campus the order is repre sented by such talent as Dr. Ernst, who went to a school where the lan guage students stayed taught; “Stiffy” Barnett, jovial and benig nant professor who has been unable to find the “average or mean” spoken of in the Missouri system; F. G. G. Schmidt, who believes that students should sing themselves to sleep in Portugese; Prof. Hoover, who holds the long-distance cham pionship for asparagus throwing ; Bob Lane, journalists’ Nemesis, who at present is engaged in uplift ing University high school innocents and destroying belief in Santa Claus; “Eabelais,” who didn’t get appointed to some position he want ed, and other notables. ! The candidacy of Sam Wilderman pame to naught. He was caught red-handed the other day saying that Oregon might have a football team in three or four years that , might cope with the cowboys in heir own barnyard. * • * We are presenting today one of the world’s gx^atest paci fiers, second only to Castoria. It has solved more disputes and prevented more embroglios than the treaty of Iiocarne. Like the 17-credit rule it works while you sleep and doesn’t charge overtime. It may he used with uniform success upon anfniver saries, graduations and widows. “Prisoners Saw Through Albany Prison Bars,” says a Eugene Guard oadline. Now, our acqunintanship "with tho Willamette valley seaport is Somewhat limited, so what, we wonder, did they see. The question has been raised 1 as to whether it . w'ould bo most appropriate to take your sewing or your cuspidor to watch the “manly mermaids” spoken of in the Emerald sports story yes terday. WE ADVISE A COMPROMISE ON A PACKAGE OF CAMELS— >rOU CAN’T GO WRONG. ORLANDO Y. BINGH. BY JIM More trouble for you girls. A gent who should know what he’s chinning about, says wonjen will look like men if they keep on smoking. Hg didn’t mention co eds, however. It is Joseph Byrne who is broadcasting this bit of de structive information and Joseph is managing director of the nation’s beauty shop. Air. Bryne says in part: “Fea tures of women smokers grow sharper as the habit grows. The skin becomes taut and sallow. The lips lose their rosey color. “He recommends tennis playing as a good substitute for smoking. Girls, put that in your corn-cob and smoke it! The silly sex can’t kesp its identity anymore. If they acquire smoking habits they will i look like men. If they put on rid- ! ing habits they will look like men. j And if they wear golfing togs they will look like men. Ya-as, tennis | is all that’s left. This prophecy | and its specifications surely sound , logical. But we can’t believe that if girlies fall for the temptations \ of the cigarette they Will Jpow Adarn’s apples. However, Mr. Byrne may be right. If, as and when women look like i me, a girl can be a brother to a rejected suitor. And the world’s worst vaudeville joke will go like this: “Who was that gentleman I seen you with last night?” “That 'was no gentleman—tha|t was my wife.” Well, if Byrne’s prophecy comes true—well, that’ll just make Jul lian Eltinge America’s sweetheart. We admit there wasn’t much sense in that last discussion. Being a chameleon, though, we think we can change our color. Here’s a little sentiment: YOUTH I’m not sure if I knew the truth What his case or crime might be, I only know that he pleaded Youth, A beautiful, golden plea! i Youth, with its sunlit, passionate eyes, Its roseate velvet skin— A plea to cancel a thousand lies, Or a thousand nights of sin. i The faculty who judged him were old and grey, Their eyes and their senses dim, He brought the light of a warm spring day To the regents office, bare and grim. Could he plead in a lovelier way? His judges acquitted him. —A/nonymous. And now we ’ll let the printer finish this. Communications i The editor of the Corvallis Ga zette-Times takes it as a sign of sanity, just a sign, nothing definite of course, at tlfo University that the Hello “System” (this country the editor seems to have no way of distinguishing between a “custom” and a “system”) is dying out here. The inference to he gained from this editor’s brilliant little editorial is that the people of the Univer sity have been insane these many years that the Hello custom has been the pride of the University, and that the weakening of that custom is to be considered as the first gleam of dawn in a place of mental darkness. It would not be worth the while to bother comment ing upon this ambitious libel but for the fact that the Corvallis edi tor may really have some excuse, if not reason, to speak thus. It is a fact that Corvallis practically never sees the University of Oregon students except when we are cele brating some victory or lamenting some loss and appear insane. A very plain case, in short, of hasty generalization from insufficient facts, and someone should make it his duty to call Dr. Immel’s atten tion to the case so that he may give the editor of the Gazette-Times honorable mention in his lecture “Popular Fallacies.” Put insanity is not the only evil the Corvallis Gazette-Times editor finds prevalent here at Oregon. “A university has all classes of people in it,” explains this editor, with all the accumulated wisdom that editing the Corvallis Gazette-Times has brought to him, “hundreds of them go there who could not get into the so-ealled respectable circles in their own home towns. Does transference to a scholastic atmos phere transform them by some hokus-pokus into genuine ladies and gentlemen whom other ladies and gentlemen want to meet?” The foregoing, ladies and gentlemen, are j the words and thought, typical in j every way, of a true, born-and-brcd j truckler. As Thackeray has ex plained in his “Books of Snobs,” j the true snob is one step above a truckler; it is the .truckler who ; makes possible the snob. It is the truckler wljp yields his smug ap- ] proval when the snob in self-right eous anger holds back his robe dis-: dais fully lest it be contaminated by ! his fellow-man. The snob is hate-1 ful, but may the Lord in his Mercy j deliver us from a truckler. One of the notes struck loudest in j this inspiring editorial is “Conform, be respectable, don’t for goodness sake do anything different.” “What will the resl of the world think of the graduated gink who goes down Broadway ith his diplo ma under his arm, saying ‘Hello’ to. everybody he meets?” bleats the editor. How singularly familiar, that phrase, “ What will-the rest of the world think,” among the bieat ings of the respectable order of respectable country editors. And still people wonder what makes Lewis’ "Main Street” seem so true to life. ,How many thousands of > students have graduated from the! University of Oregon I do not know; a few thousand, at least, it may safely be assumed. Now, Mr. Corvallis editor, most of these Grads had contracted the “Hello” habit»in its most virulent form be fore they, left Oregon; and since many of them go down Broadway evry day, if your timid, frightened soul is afraid for them, afraid that the world will not approve of them, why not go down Broadway your self and meet them and see what the world thinks of them. If any of them liieet you I think they would say to themselves, “That fel low coming down the street, now, he appeals to me as being of the genus “Smug;” one of that class who kept increasing and increasing as the University grew larger, un til finally they became so numerous that one could not say “Hello” freely for fear of having met an other of that class whose natures would not allow them to meet their , fellow-man, good and bad alike, with a pleasant and willing “Hel |l0-” R.
