Editorial Oberservations;
Presidents and What Not
We met Dr. Chase yesterday afternoon and liked him im
mensely. In the company of Dr. Conklin and Dean Allen, Dr.
Chase came to the journalism building, where he had promised
to meet the Emerald reporters and newspaper correspondents.
No austere somber sort, this man. Although just released trom
a series of strenuous conferences, Dr. Chase gave the appear
ance of possessing an unlimited reserve of buoyant spirits, and
won all his youthful listeners with his sincerity, his good nature,
all happily coupled with a manner indicative of scholarly lead
ership. Dr. Chase may be assured that the Oregon undergrad
uate body will concur most eagerly in the invitation extended
to him by the regents.

Oregon’s romping basketball team is again open to con
gratulations. By tossing the Washington State College basket
bailers neatly into the ditch, Reinhart’s men have a single
obstacle to remove in the path leading to the Northwest cham
pionship. Even the most casual observer last night could not
have helped noticing the gusto with which the Oregon rooters
rejoiced in the Oregonians’ mounting score. A champion l^b
basketball team will be eminently acceptable to all aligned on
the side of the Webfeet. 0
Verily, however, defeat at the hands of 0. A. C. next batur
day would be most sodden. Not so?
• * * *
Student interests the nation over are pretty much the same.
Their thoughts, actions, hobbies and enthusiasms run in the
same channels. Occasionally, however, some enterprising group
of collegians will break loose from the mob and launch a new
idea, as indicated by a nation wide student interest in tlieir
own education. Last fall Harvard students, taking affairs in
their own hands, published a detailed analysis and criticism
of individual courses of instruction. Now the Cornell Daily
Sun is following suit, and intends shortly to offer constructive
criticism of Cornell instruction. Perhaps in a few months we
too will be doing the same.
* * * •
A musician of the highest order will appear on the campus
tomorrow night in the person of Charles M. Courbom, cele
brated Belgian organist. Courboin’s recital will give music
lovers a splendid opportunity to hear the organ in the music
auditorium at its best, since the guest artist is considered one
of the greatest organists of the present time. With seats sell
ing at a nominal price, no one should overlook this recital on
the organ, greatest of all musical instruments.
• # * *
Singular interest will be attached to three Guild Hall plays
being produced Thursday and Eriday of this week, since the
dramatics department has selected plays written by Oregon
students instead of selecting recognized authors. The experi
ment, a new one at the University, will prove fruitful for the
dramatic people and an added incentive for all interested m
Guild Hall productions. It may be expected that a capacity
house will greet the players.
• * • •
Dr. Chase and his party, says the news, were compelled to
abandon automobile travel and board the train leading to Eu
gene. The rains did it. Yesterday the mist fell heavy. Proving,
we suppose, that time and tide and Oregon rain wait for no
man--not even prospective University presidents. Beware of
web feet. Doctor—
* * * •
Because of insufficient seats at basketball panics, both Ore
gon and 0. A. C. will be able to provide very few seats for the
* visiting team’s rooters. A few seats for visitors will be made
available in both the Eugene and Corvallis games, and a hand
ful from each visiting college will be able to see the games. The
graduate manager strongly advises that Oregon students be
certain of admission to the 0. A. C. game at Corvallis before
leaving for that city. Unless arrangements can be made in the
individual cases with O. A. C. friends, admission to the game
will, in all probability, be denied the Oregon supporters. The
situation is unfortunate and regrettable, but unavoidable.
# * * •
Under the leadership of Dean Henry D. Sheldon and M. II.
Douglass, University librarian, a religious conference that
should attract campus wide attention will be held Thursday
and Friday of this week. The guest of honor at the conference
will be C. E. Hugh of the University of California, a man well
versed in religious work in colleges and universities. The con
ference will bear watching.
* # # *
Announcement of the probability of construction of the
new $1 f>0,000 basketball pavilion the early part of this spring
will be met with approval by all Oregonians. The crowded
armorv, which has served nobly in years past, now tails to
accommodate the huge crowds 'hat are demanding admission
to the basketball games. The new pavilion, with an imme
diate seating capacity of 6,000 persons and an ultimate capa
city of 10,000 persons, will assure satisfactory seating arrange
ments for years to come. Oregon may congratulate herself
on this part of her constructive forward-looking policy.

The Emerald is strong for having a fraternity of fraternities.
Only those tongs showing great intelligence, perseverance
and' sincerity of purpose shall be members. The name of this
fraternity—glorious brotherhood—shall be, “The Simple Six.
We nominate for immediate membership, Sigma Chi, Phi Delta
Theta, Chi Psi, l’si Kappa, Phi Gamma Delta, and Theta Chi.
May the brotherhood grow and prosper.

BY JIM
To Dr. Miller, U. of O. Medical de
partment :
Dear Sir, Dr. Miller, and old bean:
With nothing hut a blossoming
cold and jangled nerves I’ve passed
through a miserable state of fright.
Doc. Thinking things over serious
ly, did it ever occur to you that
the Ferocious and Fabulous Woof
Woof is unusually active in this
land of ours right now?
The Woof-Woof is, as of course
you know, a seven-toed, fire-breath
ing animal with a single long and
exceedingly sharp horn between his
eyes and who, because of his enor
mous size and horrible appearance
scares folks stiff wherever ho is
seen.
The Woof-Woof terrorized the
campus and this rooster in particu
lar not long ago when it was thought
that no well regulated breakfast
could be complete without someone
not present that had developed
spinal meningitis the eve before.
Now, that was the Woof-Woof in
its mildest form, Doc. Millions
flee terror-stricken from his path.
But they really don’t have too.
Any person can walk up to a Fer
ocious and Fabulous Woof-Woof,
snap his fingers right in front of
his nose, giggle at the thing and
he’ll give a falsetto moan and roll
over unconscious.
But if you treat the Woof-Woof
seriously he’ll swallow you sure.
Not long ago the Woof-Woof was
in action when some fingering crit
ics declared the structure of our
Alma Mater was crumbling, due to
a commercialization of basketball
and football games.
Things come up like modernism
and fundamentalism and threaten
to disrupt the entire country, and
the Woof-Woof springs into action
and roars his way from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, leaving terror in his
wake. He runs rampant on the sub
ject of prohibition, Sunday blue
laws, the question of whether or not
Jonah swallowed the whale and all
such important problems, until
somebody laughs heartily and back
goes the Woof-Woof to his cave.
I really believe, Doc, this thing
was responsible for my weakened
condition—due to nights of worry
over this spinal meningitis business
—and indirectly for this offensive
cold in the think tank and raw
broncial tubes.
T only bring in the association,
Doc, because the other day the
Woof-Woof got after Luther Bur
bank because the great naturalist j
announced through Edgar Waite,!
San Francisco Bulletin writer, that!
he (Burbank) was an infidel. The I
Woof-Woof got the whole country
excited aoout it all, not that they
even called meetings to pray for his
soul. Then Burbank, near victim
of the Woof-Woof, spoke from a
pulpit, and in part he said:
“I love everybody. I love every
thing. Some seem to make mis
takes but everything and everybody
has something of value. Else they
would .not be here.
“Let us read the Bible without
the ill-fitting colored spectacles . of
j.theologv, just as we read other
i books, using our own judgment and
I reason; listening to the voice with
! in, not to the nosiy babble without,
i Most of us possess discriminating
1 reasoning powers—can we use them,
| or must we be fed by others, like
babes?”
“If my words have awakened
thought in narrow bigots and petri
fied hypocrites, they will have done
their appointed work.
“I reiterate—the religion of most
people is what they would like to
believe, not what they do believe,
and very few stop to examine its
foundation. The idea that a good
God would send people to a burn
ing hell is utterly damnable to me,
the ravftgs of insanity—supersti
tion gone to seed.
“I don’t want to have anything
to do with such a God. I am a
lover of man and Christ as a man
and his work, and all things that
help humanity, but nevertheless,
just as he was an infidel then, I am
an infidel today. I prefer and
claim the right to worship the in
finite, everlasting, almighty God of
this vast universe, as revealed to us
gradually, step by step, by the dem
onstrable truths, of our savior, sci
ence.”
I don’t know what all this has to
do with spinal meningitis, Doc, but
as a medical man I sort of thought
you would understand. And if you
will continue to keep the Woof
Woof unconscious for a time, it’ll
help a lot. JIM.

NEW ENGLISH COURSE !
PLANNED FOR MAJORS:
< ""
Proficient Students Exempt,
From Written Subjects j
Students showing marked ability:
in written English may be exempt
from completing their requirement,
in that subject, and a new courst, :
written English for intending,
teachers, has been formulated, ac- j
cording to decisions made by the
faculty of the English department
in a long session which terminated
Friday. !
“Students showing marked abil
ity in written English may be ex
empted from completing the writ
ten English requirement on the
joint recommendation of the writ
ten English instructor in whose
course they are enrolled and the
head of the English department,
these exemptions not to be granted
until the student has completed at
least one term’s work,” say the
minutes of the meeting.
Freshmen majors in the depart
ment are to be allowed the option
of either English or European his
tory. Sophomores must take either
psychology or animal biology to
fulfill their science requirements,
economic history was substitute^
for the principles of economics.
English literature majors, offer
ing French or German to satisfy
the. University foreign language re
quirement, must demonstrate to the
English department a reading know
ledge of the language by the be
ginning of the senior year. Form
erly, the phrase, “offering French
or German, to satisfy the Univer
sity foreign language requirement”
was not included, and “French, Ger
man, or Latin” took the place of
“the language.”
One terfo of English poetry was
inserted as a prerequisite to the
teaching of high school English.
In the drama and play production
option, those intending to be teach
ers must major in English litera
ture, and not in drama and play
production.
Extempore speaking has been
made an a-b-c- course.
RAINEY GIVES ADVICE
TO FUTURE TEACHERS
Students expecting to teach next
year were given valuable advice
yesterday at the meeting in the edu
cation building at 4:30 by Prof.
Homer P. Rainey, who has charge of
the appointment bureau.
Professor Eainey urged that com
munications and notices from the
office be answered promptly, and
the bureau be informed of any
change of acTdress, to avoid com
plications in notifying a student of
an appointment.
It is important that all prospec
tive teachers register during the
next two weeks, because in March
and April there is always the
greatest demand for teachers. The
next demand comeB in July and
August because the state law re
quires a resignation notice of 60;
days before school begins.
If students prefer teaching posi-!
tions outside the state of Oregon,
they are advised to register with
commercial agencies.
Y. W. SECRETARY DUE
FOR WEEK'S VISIT
Miss Elsie Heller, of Spokane, i
Wash., national student Y. W. C. A.
secretary for the northwest, arrived i
Tuesday, and will remain all this
week. She will be a guest at Susan
Campbell hall.
Miss Heller has been a frequent
visitor here. She will hold personal
conferences. Anyone desiring to
discuss the student pilgrimage to
Europe, Girl Reserve club work or
the Seabeck conference may make
