Wanted: An Old Fashioned
Revival of Oregon Songs
If the newly appointed traditions committee, among its
various duties, can stimulate some interest in Oregon songs it
will have rendered a service sadly needed.
No one likes to wax drippingly sentimental over the dear
old songs of the dear old boys in the dear old college days but
isn’t it a fact that everyone enjoys a good song test lull ot
collegiate sentiment and barber-house harmony? Casting all
repressions aside, it must be admitted that a fire in the fire
place and a banjo and a collection of rippmgly good songs
spreads a charm over an evening that is rivalled by very tew
forms of entertainment. ■ . .
And while we are making confessions, why not admit that
Oregon songs (as they are sung) are not conducive to either
barber house or bathroom or parlor harmony. They just aren t
sung. Everyone knows “Mighty Oregon,” and most everyone
knows one or two more—but how many students can sing a
half dozen Oregon songs? ,
A glance at the Oregon song book will reveal a bountiful
collection of songs that are worth singing. Somehow Oregon
students have failed to acquire the habit of learning their own
songs, and therein they have been the losers. It’s the time now
to have old fashioned revivals—why not have an Oregon song
revival ?
Disappointing the Public
On College Morals
The Emerald wants to know why newspapers and the gen
eral public takes such delight in stories of the wicked morals
of collegians. As one co-ed expresses it “You just ought to
hear the women at the tea-splashes. That s all they talk about
—the rot that’s supposed to be going on m the University.
Recently at Ohio State a great, how-do-you-do about the
immorality of the students was proven practically without sub
stance—but it made good reading for the public while it lasted.
Even the venerable “Ladies Home Journal, pious bible of
American mothers, in offering a series of articles on American
Universities, does not treat education in any broad aspect but
is concerned with “Fashions in College Morals!” ^.es, it makes
fine reading matter, although the subscribers must be disap
pointed to find that the undergrads really aren t going to the
devil half as fast as the popular fancy would have it.
Another interesting point: The taxpayers will permit
municipal or state corruption to pass with a minimum of mur
murs; all manner of graft will go in state institutions without
much of a hallobaloo; but let the tiniest squeek come from one
of the state institutions of higher learning and all the taxpayers
are right on hand to look out for their investment.
And arc we really bad? No. We may wear funny clothes,
and spend too much money, but as far as propagating the doc
trines of downright sin, we are mighty poor missionaries.
Campus Magazine
Up to Executive Council
After almost, three months of careful examination of the
magazine prospects at. the University, the student committee,
after numerous buffet ings, has decided once again that a stu
dent’s magazine and not a student-alumni publication is de
sired by the student body at large.
The proposition is now largely in the hands of the executive
council which can act as it sees fit towards the sanctioning of
the new campus magazine. The council has instructed the com
mittee, under the leadership of Rolph Klep, to present com
plete plans for editorial and managerial leadership, and if sat
isfactory plans are worked out. there is every reason to expect
a favorable action on the part of the executive council.
Naturally the council will be cautious in sanctioning a new
publication because of the not-too-happy fate of Lemon
Punch.’’ The most essential factor in launching and maintain
ing a magazine will be student interest and peisistent and cap
able management. Judging from the perseverance of the com
mittee in charge and the very favorable reception accorded
on the campus at large, the new publication may be assured
from the outset of a cordial campus reception and intelligent
management on the part o! those* most \ italic inteiestcd.
lie it lierehv known to all persons interested and disinter
ested that the Emerald does not take any responsibility (even
to the tiniest degree) for any communications, red-hot or other
wise, that find their way into the communication column of
the Emerald. Let it be known that communications do not
carry any insinuations of editorial approval or condemnation.

Once upon a time a great
stench was upon the atmos
phere, and so great was it, that
the land stank. And the peo
ples of the Journalism Shack
said unto each other, “Yea, ver
ily, and this is an outrage!”
and they were not able to stand
upright on their limbs, but
came near to swooning with
the greatness of it, so that they
became pale, and even green
beneath the gills. And in the
midst of their tribulation a
wise man named Sol stood
among them and he waved his
his arms and he cried, “Hear
ycee! I have good news for
yeee.” And the reporters and
day editor, yea and even the
editor-in-chief, rushed up and
cried, “News! News! Ah, at last
a news story!”
But just as this great pro
phet was about to disclose the
news, he too turned a faint yel
low and swooned gracefully in
the arms of his righft-hand
maiden Mildred Carr, and was
carried to the Infirmary. And
the great stench descended up.
on them ten-fold so that the
Scribes were compelled to has
ten for shelter through the door.
But as they ran helter-skelter
they were heard to say, laying
their fingers aside of their
noses, “Please keep your bad
odors to home. McClure hall.”
Moral: When you think this is
rotten journalism, remember
the atmosphere in which it’s
written.

HYMNS OF HATE
Probably someone made a slip,
and alibis are forthcoming, but we
were really on the road to good old
Rabelaisian flippancy the other
night when the band broke out
with “To Hell with Washington.”
For sometime now the Alma Ma
ter has been in need of a complete
renovation of her hymns and dit
ties. Why not model her new songs
after the fashion of “To Hell with
Washington.”
Here’s a list that might appeal
to the general student body:
“Courtesy and Culture,” sung in
the satirical major by the entire
student body.
“Vivisect the Visitors,” this con
vivial little title might be appro
priate for a song to be rendered
only at reception banquets to visit
ing teams.
* # #
But our sense of delicacy gets
the best of us and we’ll leave the
composition of the song to those
who enjoy the pastime.
However, Oregon seems to stand
alone in this genteel method of
forcing her visitors to feel aware i
of her might and arrogance. Har
vard, Yale, Stanford and Cornell
have long ago gone in for sloppy
culture and abandoned profanity in
their songs. But why should we
suppress our sanguinary appetite!
We’s just rollicking, ribald roost
ers of the bloody west and we must
have our cussing. So, off with the
repressions and lets go in for the
thing to its entirety.
If we can’t be nasty enough in
our songs, why lets organize a spat
ting squad. An editorial in the
Daily Californian, official organ of
The University of California, re
marked sometime ago that the Ore
gon Student Body, was the most dis
courteous of any it had the pleas
ure to come in contact with. That
was after the California-Oregon
game.
Well, if California thinks that
after the conduct of the Student
Body at the game under discussion
wait until we get organized and
they’ll be able to feel more superior
about it.
To wind it up, we might say that
after all a certain excess of animal
spirits with thoughtless good-humor
will often make more enemies than
the most deliberate spite and ill
nature, which is oh its guard, and
strikes with caution and safety.

Esperanto May Not Be Practicable
but the idea of a universal language
is a good one. In the Middle Ages
and the Renaissance, scholars and
diplomats from all parts of the civi
lized world could carry on their con
versation in Latin. Until recently,
French performed the same service
to the polite world. It is now pro
phesied that English will be the
international language of the
future.
'■But meanwhile there is a good
deal of confusion, and ambassadors
from distant countries must frequent
ly rely on interpreters. Therefore,
it is fortunate for the hungry trav
eler that the menus of restaurants
everywhere still employ French.
And it is fortunate, too, that if he
wish to ascend to a higher floor of
a building in any of the great cities
of the world, the single word OTIS
will bring him directions for reach
ing the elevator.
The Pala2zo del Campidoglio, Rome, is built on one of the
seven hills of Rome and at present houses the Municipality of
the City of Rome. The original building on this site was a
temple of Jupiter in the Roman era, the construction being
started byTarquin the Elder and completedbyTarquin the Proud
During the Empire of Vitellius and Vespasiano it was burned
three times and was reconstructed by Domicien. In the Middle
Ages it served as a temple to consecrate the Poets of the time.
The present building was erected by Michel Angelo on the
ruins of che ancient building, and it contains an Otis Elevator.
