Shed a Tear for Poor John THERE was once a boy named John. He was a nice chap, just like the rest of the boys. There was nothing extraordinary about him. In fact he was very plain and made from the same material as the other fellows in the neighborhood. His family came from Vermont, where his dad spent some years pitching hay, milking cows and working around the farm. John grew up to know a few things about a farm too, and he never tried to “put on the dog,” as the college boys would say. About the time he started to col lege a great calamity befell John. His father, the same Cal who used] to pitch hay in Vermont, ascended to the presidency of the country. John no longer remained John Coolidge; he immediately became President Coolidge’s son. This may not sound like hard luck to some persons, ’but this is a true story and there is no happy ending. So now poor John, a junior at Amherst, is being made as uncom fortable as a student undergoing the third degree before a committee of deans and a few police officers thrown in for good measure. By the grace of his father, who acts by virtue of the authority vested in himself as commander-in-chief of the army, navy and marine corps, the son has become an object for national defense. He is under the guardianship and protection of one Colonel Edward Starling, chief sherlock of the White House force of detectives. The Col one acts not only as John's body guard. lie also follows John to classes, eats with him, goes with him to dances, makes out his dance pro grams, and in general is as friendly and welcome as three Spanish in quisitions rolled into one. John has protested, but papa is president of the United States, which means that father has nil the fighting forces to back up his de cisions. Now what chance, we ask you, has poor John? No, the tear rolling down the editorial cheek is not one of sad ness for the unfortunate lad. It’s a tear showing our joy that our papa isn’t even a senator. Who Owns the College Newspapers? HO owns the college news * » papers? Who should control the editorial policies? Student editors of the Pacific coast, at their annual convention, held last week, recognized student ownership of the publications, but denied these publishers control of the editorial policies or programs. They evidenced, at the same time, unqualified opposition to faculty interference. So here we have the college edit ors, admitting that their newspapers are owned and paid for by the stu dents and that they hold office by virtue of student will, serving as their representatives, yet refusing to accept the voice of the students as the voice of God. Without any hesitation on our part, we again subscribe to this policy, long our own, but which may come as a shock to many stu dent bodies. How far the mutual agreement will go, is a question. Too many college newspapers are editorially, as well as from a news standpoint, mere bulletin boards, simply reflecting with favor every student body opinion without orig inal comment. The change will come with Ilifficulty. It is clear why this condition is likely to exist. Editorials are in some quarters regarded as means whereby the student body through its editor presents favorable com ment on all its plans. The editor is not meant to present any orig inal proposals, nor to chide or crit icize. ne is the student body mouthpiece, owing his office to the mass of students, and really paid for by them. How revolutionary, then, is the now declaration of independence. The editors deny allegiance to the publishers and refuse faculty inter ference. In other words, they have decided that they alone are to be the editors. All at the convention asserted that rather than be bound to accept all student decisions they would prefer to give up their offices. We do not take this attitude to be a reflection on the general stu dent body mind. Perhaps the edit ors are showing the frame of mind that in a freshman is referred to as “cocky.” Further, though, they may be really coming to an apprec iation of the real possibilities and duties connected with their work. They have discarded the idea that “the king can do no wTrong.” Stu dent bodies as a whole, they have learned, are notoriously actuated by precedent and emotion and are as often wrong as right (perhaps more often). Rather than accept all these de cisions, reasonable or senseless, and singing the praises of their “own ers,” the editors have decided to make efforts to lead rather than follow student opinion. Without deliberately seeking quarrels, they propose to examine all issues critic ally, and with backgrounds of study and investigation, to render honest decisions, either for or against the issues. "he editors lire making no at tempts at, appearing either as cru saders or martyrs. They are not "grandstanding,” neither are they reading the riot act just to cause a furore. On the contrary, they be lieve that the thinking students will support them in this policy, and that the policy if continued will make all students think. This is of course a gigantic task for anyone,—and an ambitious plan for a college paper. But it goes to show how ambitious and inspired are your editors. Alpha Delta Sigma Initiates Six Students After initiating six new members, in the Journalism building last Sun day evening, the members (f tho W. F. t>. Thaclier chapter Alpha Delta Sigma, natimsl honorary ad vertising fraternity, attended a din ner at the Anchorage.

Give your Secret Sorrow a Chance. Make the Man of Your Dreams the “Mr. America,” of the Uni versity. Because of the ardent and be seeching demands of certain young women on the campus, desirious of bringing their flames into the lime light, the Seers are reviving that custom that proved so profitable (to sonfe) last year, namely the Beauty Contest. « »-* ""Wj This combat, which last year rivaled the present political strug gle here in Eugene, is for men on ly. The Seers refuse to implicate themselves in any such battle that would ensue if women were the contestants. However, women may grace the polls for we believe that in this election they will know more about what they’re voting for than the men. Step right np, ladies! Hand^n the name of your latest and best crush. Your owii name is not necessary. Every woman has a secret sorrow. Football heroes. Campa Shoppe romeoes, mill-race rushers and parlor piggers. Nominations will be open for a few days, and then ballot boxes will be placed around where en thusiasts may cast their votes Place nominations on the bulletin board of the Journalism shack ad dessed to the Seven Seers.

A sure bait for sumc uunjur « Big Marks I THE chances are, everything else being equal, that the neatly typewritten report or thesis will be marked higher than hand-written work. The profs, like every one else, appreciate clearly legible work, and unconsciously it creates a better impression. The Remington Portable is always ready to help you get the best marks you can. It is the simplest, fastest, and easiest to operate of all portables. Weighs but 8H pounds, net, and the carrying case is only 4 inches high, so that the machine can be put away in a drawer when not in use. All these features plus the four-row standard keyboard.

This, however, could not be true, inasmuch as it is a national reform. The United States has the short bal lot, and we find it extremely satis factory. Wf vote only for the pol icy determining officers, which is the criterion of the short ballot. If Oregon were to adopt this plan it would involve the removal from the ballot of all but the governor, and possibly the auditor, who would act as a check upon the former, and the legislative officers. Or to use the city analogy rather than the na tional, it would be simply applying the commission form of government to state officials. Under the present system, we have long ballots not only at the regular elections, but also at the direct primaries. The short ballot would do away with much confusion and allow the voter to become better acquainted with his ballot.” “It is interesing to note,” Dr. Barnett concluded, “that although it was W. S. U’Ren of Oregon, who in 1909 first began the agitation for a short ballot, Oregon is not among the 12 states which have adopted this reform. Since Illinois first adopted it, the various states have begun to use the short ballot, until now there are twelve who have it. It is not, of course, as short as thal of the national government, but it is an improvement over the old form.” McDonald LAST DAY! “IT MUST BE LOVE” Is the hit of captivating Colleen's career.
