A. C. versus Oregon—Basketball All Oregonians will recall the varsity’s hair-raising basket ball career last year. After keeping everyone m suspense tor the entire season by just barely catching the Northwest Cham pionship Limited a half dozen times, the Oregon men, after a heart-breaking play-off series, finally found themselves under the sharp 0. A. C. heel to the tune of one point. Bitter pill. “Revenge is sweet; and remorse is terrible, said a wise man once upon a time. The Emerald dislikes to be discourteous to the maxim-makers of the good old days, but it suggests that on the O. A. C. basketball floor tonight the Oregon varsity, it victorious, will have revenge, and there won’t be any remorse, either. Short Essay on College Editors; World’s Greatest Tear Slingers A few remarks bordering on the personal for a moment or two; being an attempt at vivid introspection. College editors are not interested in what is right—they want to know what is wrong. That is, what is wrong is right, and what is right isn’t interesting. And if they haven’t some thing to cry about they aren’t happy. . For instance: The editor of the “Oberlin Review is cry ing because the Oberlin curriculum is obsolete; the. U. of Washington Daily” editor is crying for a student union; the “University Daily Kansan” editor is crying because of sus pieioned dirty politics among the women; the “Montana Kai min” editor is crying because of the recent degradation of the word “collegiate;” the “Daily Trojan” editor of U. S. C. is crying because of the severe basketball refeiees. And now the Oregon Daily Emerald editor is crying because there aren’t enough things around here to cry about. Concerning the Irreligious Collegians; A Few Words in Their Defense Can’t we summarize the religious, or rather the irreligious, Bituation in American Universities somewhat in this manner: Religion, while of the supernatural, is practical in its applica tions. A religion that comforts a mother when she has lost her son, or eases the grief of a wife when she has lost her husband, or makes old age serene, or urges man to the utmost of his potentialities, cannot be said to he idle or useless in this busi ness of living a life. A man’s religion, when he jumps head long into the intense joys and sorrows of genuine living, be comes of real and tangible substance to him. Those who suffer the most, we know, are often the most devout and the most sincere in their religious thoughts and actions. But how much “real life” has the collegian found? The average undergraduate knows little of death; knows little of disappointment and loss of sorrow. He has his parents, has practically nothing to be sorry for, has a beckoning future ahead, and has wants that are fulfilled, usually, not by faith, but by the pocketbook. His world, through no fault of his own, is not real in the larger sense. Ilis whole existence, for four years, is artificial. ■Withhold judgment on this man for a few years. Let him rub shoulders with life and death and sorrow; let him become —shall we say—practical. Let him be utterly lonesome for a time. Then a spirit of reverence will not be lacking; for often times the severest, of jolts is required to jar loose the finest of sensibilities. Speedy Correction of the Infirmary Situation When the unsatisfactory condition of the University infir mary became evident the health authorities set about immed iately to secure an additional nurse and better housing facil ities. This action, coupled with a sudden check of the mumps epidemic, has alleviated the crowded condition of the infirmary to a large extent; and parents of University students may be reasonably well assured that proper care will be given infir mary patients. Under present plans a new infirmary will be provided in the near future. > Another Suggestion; Concerning University Commencement “A suggestion a day fills the space we say,” might be the chant of editorial writers; and according to certain well-known neighborly wits of ill-repute, a suggestion a day results in at least two committees of investigation. Be that as it may, here is another suggestion that is worthy of several committees. University commencement, the Emerald believes, should he held before the June dismissal of the major portion of the Uni versity. As matters now stand, Seniors nre graduated in great solitude and seclusion with no eyes other than their own and a few alumni to watch the impressive graduation ceremonies. It has been suggested that the sight of seniors graduating might act as a spur to many undergraduates: might provide a sense of reality and desircabilitj to the occasion, which at the pres ent time, judging from the mortality of students, is somewhat lacking. The various ceremonies, it has been said, are heauti- j fnl and inspiring. Never having seen one we can’t offer a per-j sonal opinion. This is a reminder to the University registrar that students are awaiting with interest the departmental segregation of grades for the fall term. Some illuminating evidence on the theory’ and practice of grading was brought to light by the recent publication of the spring 1925 grades. All are anxious to know whether publicity has checked undue severity and un warranted leniency in certain departments. Don’t keep us in suspense, Mr. Registrar. Oregon meets O. A. C. in varsity swimming this afternoon at 2:30 in the Woman’s building. Some letters may be won. Why not be on hand to give the boys a cheer! SEVEN SEERS THE DREAM DEPARTMENT By Prof. Adam Knecker Dear Prof: The other night after the dime brawl I went up to bed all tired out. I dreamed all night long and felt very tired the next morning. I dreamed over and over again that my room mates Were dropping stove lids, flat irons, and many other ar ticles upon my feet. Please explain. ANXIOUS ANNABELLE. Ans.: Good enough for you Aninabelle, you ought to know better by this time than to dance more than one Charleston with Georgia Schade. A TRUE STORY I am about to tell you an exper ience which happened to me last evening. What I tell here is true, I make no inferences, I merely state the facts. Interpret them to suit yourself. At about 11:30 I started making footprints toward my boudoir and as I neared the S. A. E. house I was startled by a pistol shot. Listening carefully I heard the muffled voices of men coming from the rear of the aforementioned house. Here is all that I could make out: “Don’t shoot, I’ll carry the water.” EPITAFFY Beneath the sod Lies Johnnie Peek, He told a friend, “Your date will neck.” This bier contains The last remains Of foolish Sammie Prue; When Freddie said “Give Billy three,” ' He bawled out, “Billy who?” 1 Customer—I want to buy a new corset. Salesman—What bust? 'Customer—'Bust nothing. It just wore out. SPIRITS! M Spirit Medium—Madam, if you wish to converse with your dead husband, just ask any question you wish to through this megaphone. Your husband’s spirit will answer them by tapping. One rap means no; two raps means yes. “John, do you hear my voice?” KNOCK—KNOCK “Are you happier now than you were when you were here on earth?” KNOCK—KNOCK “John, are you in heaven.” KNOCK THE HEIGHT OF LAZINESS The man who uses gunpowder for snuff when he wants to blow his nose. The barber who holds his razor still and asks his customer to wiggle his face. We question the popularity bf Jack Renshaw at the Alpha Omi cron house. The girls have taken the davenport to the back yard for his special benefit and on the sunny days he spends his afternoons basking in the sunshine.

Born a Catholic, falling in love with a Baptist, and with genuine sym pathy extended to the Head Hunt ers of Guam, our thoughts are rather garbled. But we have a few fertile notions on the thing. Now Graham contends that the burden of the blame for the indif ference evidenced by our present generation concerning religious mat ters rests with the churches. “They (the children), have never been taught that there is anything more to religion than singing a few hymns, enduring a sermon, and put ting a penny in the collection box,” says he. Bight here is where we can prove that he is all wrong. Witness the following advertise ment: UNCLE SAM In Person In Costume Will Speak Onofre Hipe Will Play on a Musical Saw The above is an excerpt from an advertisement running last Satur day in the “Oregon Daily Emerald,” announcing the fact that a special Boy Scout service will be held by the First Congregational Church of Eugene. How can he make such a state ment when all over the nation there is a movement to vaudevillize our churches? If the attendance is good I am told that they may stretch the Sabbath into a full week. But Graham’s contention that the churches should both arouse and sat isfy the curiosity of our iminds is a good one. The churches are try ing to do this now but they are going to get into trouble if they let the thing develop. Just by way of playing with the idea suppose it should run rampant—I mean this vaudeville-sormon thing. • • • Next Sunday night. Come and bring your friends. Dr. Dinvviddie and three good acts. “Friends, it is good to see such a large and intelligent congregation here tonight. The first act in the services is directly from the Salem Opera House and is called Berstein’s Trained Goats and Geese. It is an animal act and will present the les son of Noah and the flood. “Now the next act, working in the deuce spot, is Tully and Mc Bride. Give these boys a hand, BELL THEATRE SPRINGFIELD—SUNDAY AOOIPM lUHOfl mt |t$se L LA! / Gloria i friends. They have just signed for 60 weeks on the West Coast Circuit and will speak on eternal punish ment.” “That was very, very good. Now, for the third act, we have a big sur prise. These little ladies who take part in the next numlber can’t sing or dance or act. But they will bring home an important lesson. I take pleasure in introducing Peggy Joyce and Ganna Walska, dressed in their gems and giving an imitation of the pearly gates. * * * “Now, brethren, the time has come for solemn things. So I will call on A1 Jolson. In his inimitable mammy songs, Mr. Jolson will get down on his knees and lead the con gregation in prayer.” But, seriously, Mr. Graham, isn’t that just the sort of things the churches of today realize and are trying to put over in a nauseating manner? Do we want to be led to religion by curiosity and trickery or do we want to be lead by the awakening that in religion there is tranquility, comfort, and a human and divine sympathy? P.I.P.A.News Bulletins SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, Feb. 12.—The majority of the Wampus staff, acting ab a unit, resigned last Friday when the executive com mittee selected a man not -connected with the staff, as editor.
