t;
Oregon Outlook; Athletics,
Administration And Fa&
ulty; a Review of the
Emerald Year
By the Editor
Good friends of the University,
let us for a moment or two, as best
we may, peer into the future of the
University of Oregon.
* * *
Of recent times we have heard
much that smacks little of praise.;
"The undergraduates have complain
ed of the intellectual atmosphere.
The graduates have found many,
many needs. The faculty has had:
its disagreements and bickerings.,
The regents have been under fire, j
We have had our curriculum dis-1
putes, our front page scandals—in
short, the University has passed j
through an extremely trying period
of its history.
Abruptly we find the semi-centen-1
nial celebration upon us. Fifty |
years. A half century of service
to the State. Clearly, it is reason-'
able that at this time the Univer-1
sity should take inventory. Has
the past fallen far short of its pos- I
sibilities? Is the future hopeless or
hopeful?
* * *
Good friends of Oregon, the fu-,
ture of the University of Oregon is
brilliant. The last two years have
been unpleasant, and at times un-1
just; but the future, it would seem, j
holds sufficient of promise to erase
all unfortunate phases of the past.'
A hasty stock-taking reveals a store
of virtues that should gladden the
heart of every son and daughter of
Oregon.
» * *
The faculty. Oregon’s instrue-;
tors are a corking lot. Take one 1
take all—they will meet a student
more than half way in his endeavor
to secure an education. The Oregon
faculty is liberal, progressive, and
capable. If the instructors are short
on student conferences, they are
long on heavy classes apd difficult
schedules. Always anxious to meet
the students on a friendship basis,
the Oregon faculty is doing its work;
quietly and well, and is deserving
of hearty praise. A new leader to
restore confidence and initiative
will bring our good friends, the fac
ulty, into a refreshing era of eager
instruction.
Then, the administration, which
has taken always a liberal, genial
attitude towards the students. Had
you ever noticed, for instance, that;
students enjoy a degree of freedom
of speech and action unsurpassed,
perhaps, by any other university or
college in the United States? And
do you realize that Dr. Arnold Ben
nett Hall, Oregon’s new president,:
is one of the most capable men in
his field? The administrative out
look is splendid.
» » *
The very location of the Univer-j
sity is a tremendous asset. On all
sides, beautiful surroundings, great
mountains, inviting roads—intangi
ble influences that contribute im
mensely to the best interests of the
University. The City of Eugene, a
small thriving center, is a highly
desirable type of University com
munity.
* * *
If you are interested in athletics,
you can be none other than optim
istic. Three new intra-mural ath
letic fields are promised. Athletic
coaches of great capabilities and
high ideals are assured for a long
time period. A basketball pavilion.
All this coupled with a splendid tra
dition of good sportsmanship augurs
well for Oregon athletics.
And then the Oregon Spirit of
friendly co-operation and good fel
lowship. The atmosphere of Oregon
has a distinctive flavor which may
be appreciated to its fullest extent
only after an absence from its in
fluence. The Oregon Spirit makes
student life extremely congenial,
and adds a multitude of good times
to the store of every student’s ex
periences.
If we may venture a prophecy:
within the next few years it will
becoming increasingly evident that
the Oregon Spirit is definitely as
sociated with keener, better schol
arship. The times are changing; and
the Semi-Centennial celebration will
be a landmark of a finer University
whose backgrounds before the half
century mark had become firm and
healthy and praiseworthy.
If the University could talk this
spring it would probably say, “Well,
thank heaven that fifty years is
over!” Likewise, if the Emerald
readers could speak in unison they
would say, today, “Well, thank

‘Webfoot’ to Be
Name of New
Publication
! Magazine Title Is Picked
| From 150 Submitted in
| Contest
I -
i Appointments of Three
Associate Editors Made
^ Business Staff Begins By
Active Work
■ The name “Webfoot” was chosen
I for the new campus publication yes
! terday by the editorial board after
a contest conducted for that pur
i pose. Over 150 names were submit
! ted including “Oregon Gander,”
'“Lemon Peal,” “The O,” “The
Pioneer,” “Lemon Extract,” “Web
foot Wiffs,” and “Duck Soup.”
“After careful consideration of the
merits and demerits of names con
sidered, it was thought the “Web
foot” would be logically represen
tative of the Oregon spirit and tra
ditions,” said Rolf Klep, in speak
ing of the selection made.
The name selected was one sub
mitted early in the plans for the
magazine. As the Oregon athletic
teams are known throughout the
country as “ Webfooters,” it is be
lieved by the editorial board that
the name chosen is appropriate.
Best Writers Chosen
The appointment of three associ
ate editors has been announced by
Eolf Klep. Those selected are Dave
Turtletaub, Phillipa Sherman, and
Phil Bergh. They will be busy dur
ing the summer vacation collecting
necessary material for the first pub
lication in the fall, which will come
out during the Semi-Centennial
celebration. No other appointments
will be made until fall.
“The best writers on the campus
will be tapped and their contribu
tions will warrant further appoint
ments, after we have found out who
the willing and interested people
are,” says Klep. He is confident
that there will be plenty of material
contributed, due to the interest be
ing manifested.
The new magazine will be ex
changed by the University with the
other colleges and universities in
the country and an opportunity is
given for aspiring writers and art
ists to get their work before the
public.
Success Expected
Douglas Wilson, business manager,
has started active work on the busi
ness side of the magazine and an
advertising campaign will be con
ducted during the summer, and a
subscription drive is planned for the
beginning of fall term. “The work
so far has progressed favorably and
we are looking forward to giving
students a live-wire magazine, if the
present activity is indicative of suc
cess,” Eolf Klep states.
The editorial board that made the
name selection consisted of Eolf
Klep, W. F. G. Thacher, Balph
Casey, Anne Eunes, and Tom Gra
ham.
Last Alumni Monthly
To be Off Press June 5
June 5 will see the last issue of
“Old Oregon” for this school year.
One of the leading articles will be
on the Semi-Centennial celebration
next fall. Phillipa Sherman has
written a story entitled “Seniors of
1926.” It is a history of the senior
class from its first year on the
campus.
Plans for the various class re
unions are written up for returning
alumni. A special story on the re
unions of the class of 1916 has been
written by Beatrice Locke. Edward
Miller, editor of the Emerald, has
written an article following the
series started by Old Oregon last
month. It is entitled “What’s
Right With the University.” W. L. j
Whittlesey, ’01, has sent in a
sketch of Oregon in its early days.
Two Seniors Working
For Honors in English
Two seniors, Cecile Bennett and
Esther Fishel, are working for hon
ors in the English department this
term. Miss Fishel has written her
theses on “Old Maids in English
Fiction,” and'Miss Bennett on the
“Poetry of Gordon Bottomley.”
Their oral examinations will be held
the latter part of next week.

A. E. Doyle, W. E. Purcell, Architects
of Portland9 Laud Art School Work
Emil Jacques, Painter from Belgium, Criticizes Lack
Of Simplicity; Originality in Productions
It is marvelous; the work that
this school is doing in art, was the
opinion of A. E. Doyle, prominent
Portland architect, who was one of
the critics at yesterday’s Critique
Premiere.
“As far as I know the Univer
sity of Oregon is the only school
outside of Ljubljana, a small school
in Slovenia that teaches architec
ture as a fine art,” declared W. G.
Purcell who is also a well-known
Portland architect. “All other
schools to my knowledge teach arch
itecture as a more graphic art, there
is nothing creative in their course
whatever,” he added.
Emil Jacques, famous Belgian
painter who is well-known for his
portrait - p a i n t i ng, gave still
other ideas in his opinion of the
work of the school and the students.
After criticising a group of paint
ings he was asked what he thought
of the work. He declared that he
did not have sufficient time to
study them properly but that he
found some of them very interest
ing. The fault he found with the
work of some of the students was
the apparent insistence on too much
detail. “It takes them a long time
sometimes to attain simplicity,” he
said, and pointing to some few
paintings he declared, “You see
there, those have a note of simp
licity that makes them better than
the rest. Looking at a few others
he pointed out the fact that they
were too photographic explaining
that the students who did them did
not understand perfectly what art
really meant.
Varsity to Meet
Beaver Cinder
Men at Corvallis
‘Everything Ready, Result
Only Thing in Doubt,’
Says Hayward
By Web Jones
It’s a toss up.
The thirty-year-old struggle for
the track supremacy in Oregon will
be reopened this afternoon on Bell
field at Corvallis at 2 o’clock with
the final meet of the year for both
teams.
Twenty-nine men will leave at
11:30 today for Corvallis with Bill
Hayward, coach, and Don Gidley,
manager. “Everything has been
done that can be done and we can
only wait the result. It’s up to the
team to get the fighting spirit and
I think they have it,” said Bill
Hayward yesterday. /
The new cinder oval which “Dad”
Butler maintained “was the fastest
in the world,” will be used for the
first time. Jerry Extra, Harry Holt,
and Charlie Snyder in the century
should be able to place in that
order, but the running of Messign,
the O. A. C. flash, in both the cen
tury and the furlong is just about
on a par with them. In the 220, the
points rest with Extra, Holt, and
Prendergast.
In the quarter, Joe Price will find
hard competition in Sisson of O. A.
C. In the 880, Overstreet will line
up with Sisson. A rejuvenation of
the distance hopes came this week
*vith the recovery of Tom Holder.
John Neidermier is doped for a place
also. Fern Kelly in the mile meets
the hardest competition of the day
in Butts of O. A. C.
The hurdlers, Captain Walt Kel
sey, Francis Cleaver, and Ralph
Tuck will find enough work to head
off Baker, Aggie track captain. The
weights are up to Vie Wetzel, whose
recent arm injury has improved.
The jumps are fairly safe with
Proc Flannagan stretching out 23
feet, 10 inches. The pole vaulting
duel between Ed Crowley and Mes
sign of O. A. C. is another feature
of fhe day. The strongest lineup
which Hayward could muster in the
team is placed in the relay in Price,
Overstreet, Pearson, and Ager.
Women’s Order of ‘O’
Chooses Officials
The members of the women’s
order of the “O” elected officers for
the ensuing year at a meeting yes
terday afternoon. The officers:
Vesta Scholl, president; Ellean
Fargher, vice-president; and Gene
vieve Morgan, secretary-treasurer.
Chipman to Lecture
On Labor Problems
Miner Chipman, industrial engin
eer touring the Northwest in the
interest of A. Schilling and Com
pany, and who is now delivering
lectures at the University of 'Wash
ington School of Business, will be in
Eugene next Wednesday to speak
to the classes in marketing and
business administration, according to
word received by Arthur R. Him
bert, assistant professor in the
School of Business Administration.
