Concerning the Absence of an
“Intellectual Boycott” at the University
Recently two University students were engaged in casual
conversation. Said one to the other, “What grades did you
get last term?’’ In rcplv. “I passed seven hours of V, and
flunked eight hours.” Queried the first student, “Didn’t you
study any?” “No,” answered the other, “I didn’t crack a book
all term. ’ ’
# * * •
The first reaction to an incident such as this is one of severe
condemnation of the student that has achieved these poor grades.
This man, we would say on first thought, has wasted his own
time and money and has wasted the advantages that the state
has so generously bestowed upon him; and such a man should
leave the University for other fields where he will give the Uni
versity and himself a fair deal. Quite right. The man is doing
justice to no one; but we wonder if there isn’t a very important
contributing factor to this man’s-failure over which he has no
control, and for which he cannot he called to account.
* # * #
We refer, for -want of a better name, to the general scholastic
esprit de corps of the University in which he is enrolled; the
intellectual atmosphere <of the institution; the lack of an ‘in
tellectual boycott’ against the unsuccessful and the indolent. For
instance, this man, who certainly has not acquitted himself to
his credit, will suffer no social or mental stigmatization from
his fellow students. In practically all of life unexcused failure
brings swift and certain censure from fellow men. But in this
University? No. The student goes on, safe and secure from
any chastisement from his comrades and almost proud of lum
self that he has been clever enough to get by.
m * # #
Here we have a condition, recognized and admitted by many
undergraduates and faculty members, that presents one of the
most perplexing and discouraging problems of present day higher
education. The University of Oregon is not alone in its diffi
culty, being hut one of a multitude of colleges and universities
that are suffering from the same dread disease; but being one
of a company does not mitigate the evil and does^ not excuse an
attitude of sodden complaisance to the existing condition.
# # # *
The causes for absence of this scholastic atmosphere — the
lack of an intellectual boycott—are many and complicated and
too numerous to permit extended discussion at this time. Briefly,
however, they may be catalogued as follows, with the respon
sibility for the situation extending to the students, to the faculty
and to the policies of the University. The incoming freshmen,
we find, are admitted almost without restriction, and arrive at
the University with almost no idea of the purpose of higher edu
cation. Once admitted to. the University they are allowed to
become immersed in trivial outside interests and are placed in
large classes which practically exclude any genuine scholastic
stimulation from the faculty members. Grades as such, con
trasted to scholarship, are universally held up as the objective;
and so on to a great length, we find influences that lead to the
sparseness of the intellectual atmosphere and the absence of
the * boycott. ’
• * * *
Hopeless? No. The problem does not permit instantaneous
and easy solution, but lends itself to definite attack . In the
course of the ensuing months the Emerald hopes to present at
some length the various aspects of the situation in the hope and
belief that tangible and beneficial results may come from the
investigation.

The Seers wish to announce the
promising results already obtained
from their Date Bureau, which was
given birth by yesterday’s Emerald.
Ed Miller and Jim Eorestel, the
first two men up for auction, have
already received numerous phone
calls from sweet-voiced individuals,
via the Seers, and also a few secret
missiles, begging a tryst and nam
ing the day, the place and the can
didate. Because of requests in each
case to keep such matters from the
eyes of any other than those of the
young gentleman in demand, the
Seers will not disclose any names
of candidates.
Bo patient, girls, and if you all
don’t get a chance this time, there
are other gentlemen, just as inter

While we’re speaking of a date,
Why a slow girl gets in early,
And a fast girl gets in late.

Chameleon
Always something comes along
to dampen our hopes and poison our
enthusiasm. First Ed Miller and
hie editorial telling of “senior mel
! aneholia” (Ed suffered from in
digestion last week) and now we’ve
j received a chain letter.
A chain letter is something you
'get in almost any morning’s mail.
It is usually a carbon copy and says
So-and-So is sending it to you and
eight other close friends. All you
; do is copy the letter within 24 hours
and send it to nine other good pals.
jThen wait nine days and you’ll be
j surprised at your good luck.
If you break the chain you get
■ nothing but bad luck and are liable
: to slip on a banana peel, catch
' eczema or run out of gas. Practi
cally no one can be prominent to
day unless he receives six or eight
! chain letters a week. Chain letters
have given more letter carriers cur
■vature of the spine than any other
cause.
It seems all these letters origin
ate with some American naval offi
cer in the Orient. Congress should
investigate and *ee if our naval
officers haven’t anything else to
do.
Anyway, here’s the way they go:
“This letter was started by Ad
miral Whozis, in charge of United
States naval operations, dredging
for typhoons in the Pacific ocean.
Copy this and send it to nine per
sons to whom you wish good luck.
Do it inside of 24 hours. This has
to go around the world three times.
Count nine days and you will have
a stroke of good luck, apoplexy or
some other pleasant surprise.”
Simple! Easy! That’s all there
is to it. Follow the instructions
and after nine days Ponzi will call
on you and explain another good
scheme for obtaining good luck,
health, fame and 200 per cent profit.
Be a grown-up Boy Scout and the
letter carriers will bless you.
Nothing since the two-pants suit
was indented has made life so worth
living as has the chain letter. You
pick out nine good friends to whom
you wish good luck. Their luck
consists of getting nine rolls of wall
paper and copying a list of name.
However, it isn’t the manual la
bor—it’s the spirit if the thing. A
chain letter is only as strong as
its weakest link. And in order that
it may not perish from the earth
the American fleet has been ordered
to Pacific waters this spring.

drop in—and around the
fire experiences of then
are fondly retold
—have a Camel!
Into the making of this one cigarette goes all of the ability
of the world’s largest organization 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 oyer,
whelming choice of experienced smokers.

WHEN famed men re
turn. And by danring
firelight they relate their
-stories of old — have a
Camel!
For Camel helps all
men who rise proudly to
rise higher and more
jauntily. Camels never
harm or tire your taste,
no matter how plentifully
you smoke them. You’ll
never find more friendly
flavor than you get in
Camels.
So this night when
those from long ago re
turn to think of the
roads that join. As you
see in their past your
future tinfold, then zest
fully taste the smoke
that’s prized by the
world’s experienced.
Have a Camel!
Out highest wish, if you
do not yet know Camel
quality, is that you try
f them. We inrite you to
compare Camels with
any cigarette. made at
any price.
