Full responsibility Is assumed by the editor for all editorial opinion. THOUGH man be wise, ’tie no shame for him to learn many things, and to bend in season.—Sophocles. Liberty’s Pursuit Of Happiness WE ARE embarrassed, squelch ed—and angry. Fired with the scientific spirit, Liberty weekly, that journal which loves its country right or wrong, has turned sociologist and is mak ing (effort to determine what is right or wrong, morally, with the university students. We are informed by letter that “a. variety of charges are constantly being made against young meif and women in colleges.” After chasing the editor about the bush we finally deduce that these charges aro based on supposed immoral conduct. Collego heads are reported to vig orously denounce the rumors as founded on gossip rather than accur ' ate information, but Liberty pleads ignorance in the matter, and shows itself clover enough to discount the words of the proxies. But the editor “assumes that col lege men and women have reasons for what they do,” proving that ho ^ doesn’t know his college audienco very well. In fact, he confesses this, and .knowing how infallible is the judg ment of the college editors, he en closes a questionnaire to which ho seeks replies. We have had to till out many both ersome and disconcerting question naires in our short existence, but never have we been so embarrassed as now. And that’s why wo are an gry The spirit of science oozes all over the questions which are ad dressed to the editor personally, to l>e answered by him personally from his own experience, and are sup posed to bo representative of tho student body in general. Just see some of these conscience probers: “Is liquor easy to get on or near the campus?” “What proportion of the girls of your acquaintance will engage in petting parties?” “What proportion of the girls of your acquaintance will drink in toxicants?” “Of the latter number, what pro portion buy intoxicants?” “Do you think girls who drink in toxicants are more likely to permit advances from men than those who don't?” Whew! We can’t go on! Just think, there are L’4 questions! Thank goodness lie doesn’t ask for names, phone numbers, color (if hair, eyes. etc. The university is fortunate that the present editor is a man of ster ling character, whose morals are above reproach. As it is, he is only insulted and enraged—besides amus ed at being mistaken for an old coak. Were he on the opposite side, though, think of the harm that ■would accrue to tho university from the notoriety it might receive from the answers to his questions! Yea, shudder! Now, how are we going to an swer those dreadful questions from which the horrible “you” and “your” stand forth as dragons’ eyes? We can’t. Won’t the “girls of our acquaintance” help out? Un close your answers in nnmnrked en velopes and send them either to the editor of the Emerald or directly to the Liberty weekly. Heturned man uscripts may be sold to True Stories magazine. In the meantime, we can ’t tell the editor of the Liberty very much. All our information would make a very uninteresting story, even in a very sober journal. Besides, do you think we are 'going to tell all we know to any editor who comes along? Spicy memoirs have some times netted $10,000. Certainly the gossip is founded on fact, Mr. Liberty. We are told that there is petting and drinking. There is also said to be smoking. But you have been too personal. We don’t think we’ll answer your questions after all. Besides, we’re too busy writing editorials to an swer damphool questionnaires. On the Necessity of Naming Older Infants THIS is a time of searching of minds and deep and devoted in trospection, for it seems that that football team, which we have al ways been bo loyal in supporting, suffers a great lack—it has no name. The loyal old Alma Mater has al ways been very anxious to comply with every reasonable need of the lusty boys in yellow and green who struggle so assiduously for her honor. It seems that the aforesaid boys, collectively, have always laek od a handle by which they can be referred to when their great deeds on the gridiron are rehearsed in the annals of the deeds of worthy war riors. The inadequate names, Web foots or Bucks, would lend us to im pute to them, not the wisdom of sorpents, but the harmlessness of doves. Those appellations certainly bring n)i decidedly the wrong pictures. We are indeed in a quandary and must look to the man with the idea whom it is the fashion to seek high and low, in all walks of life. He it is who can solve the problem of the naming of our lusty infant. Oh, how sad it is that we have so long delayed the christening. Names which would be decidedly appro priate for our team have already been applied to other infants, and it would be as bad to call our boys Hears or Wolves or Tigers as it would be to call three young men in the same family Jack. And be sides have wo not that intangible somewhat known ns Oregon Spirit which is different from any other brand and makes us different. It has truly been said by some almost forgotten wag, that a rose by any other name would smell ns sweet, yet that other scripture which cannot be disregarded says, “('all a dog by a bad name and hang him,” and while it would bo decidedly misleading to call our boys either the Boses or the Bull dogs yet we cannot deny the ap plicability of these folk proverbs. Periodically, it. seems, our luck of a proper and definite name for our football heroes is called to the at tention of the campus and yet no one has so far volunteered a suit able name and the latest sugges tion, the Trappers, is horrible to contemplate, when we think that perhaps it may bo the only one sub mitted. What a too golden oppor tunity for headlines to screech, "Trappers Caught in Their Own Traps!" And may we ask, what would a trapper do when his ire is roused, lie wouldn’t yelp or howl or even grimace. Oh, it’s hope less, we’ll admit. And we can’t even see a rift in the fog of despond through which we can evt/n distant ly and dimly Bight the man with the idea which will dissolve our perplexities and supply a fitting name for the nameless ones. Oh, merciful powers, may this long sus pension and doubt be speedily end ed and in our day and generation so that there will be unanimitv umong those who root in thy cause, oh Almn Mater! Terminate this awful indecision of decades so that we may again lay us down in peace to sleep until some momentous ques tion again shakes the campus.—\ f TfcSEVEN ft> seers PROFESSOR MORRISETTE OBJECTS ADONIS OF TEACHING STAFF HAS HARSH WORDS FOR SEERS HAS COMMITTE ENDORSEMENT Shades of Carrie Nation! Accompanied l>v dO chairmen of his committee of 1,000, all shouting “Pat for Pulchritude,” Professor Pat Morrisctte stormed the Seers office today and delivered the ac companying note and a few exple tives. While the popular professor de nied that he is seeking beauty hon ors, his committee officially an nounced his candidacy in the Seers contest. With heart-felt apologies to Mr. Morrisette and his loyal supporter (no metal can touch them) we here by place his name at the head of the list of those seeking the gol den apple (14 karat) the contract for jvhich has been let. Here is the professor’s state ment: Seven Seers, esqs., Dear Seers:— Of all the farcical contests that have been perpetrated on the long suffering student body since I first became associated with this Uni versity, that now under way in your columns is the rawest. In a contest of this kind it seems manifestly unfair to discriminate against anyone merely because he is on the teaching staff. I have in mind several admirably-fitted can didates for beauty honors, for in stance .but let us not deal in personal references. I am not motivated by personal considerations but by the interests of the less fortunate members of the faculty. If it is not considered politic to allow faculty members and students to compete on equal terms, may I suggest a special contest for mem bers of the teaching staff? Yours in the interests of an ever Bigger and Better Oregon, Pat. V. Morrisette, Instructor, Department of English. OFFICE FLOODED. Nominations for the Beauty con-, test have been pouring into the Seers’ office, and we feel that it is necessary to call the nominations closed. We are sorry for all those Brummels who were too late to clas sify, but we can't help but be a bit surprised that there turned out to lie so many Apollos running about the campus without our knowing it before. Ballot boxes for the voting will be placed at convenient places about the campus in the near fu ture. GUNTHER AND JOHNSON ASPIRED One who signs herself, 4 ‘ Hopeful ly Waiting,” hands in the names of Jerry Gunther and Lester Johnson as candidates. She states that ever since she has gone to the University she has had hopes of dating with them, hut so far neither one has given her her chance. YELL LEADERS IN lma Reader nominates A1 Smith, handsome blond of the Coop, with his adorable dimple and sunny smile, advising the other women of the campus not to waste their votes on anyone else. She also names Bob by Warner, elogger and veller, be cause ‘‘he is such a good scout." and in hopes that he will turn com petition away from A1 Smith. Jack Jones, left-hand man to "Big" Seabrook, is backed by the whole of Hendricks hall, and bids fair to be a heated contestant for the title with a large number of votes assured him. WILLIAM FOXWELL CALLED Bill Foxwell James, head of the rally committee is named for his rosy cheeks, and because he uses a straight-edged razor. George (Ba by Face) Belloni -was nominated by one •who signed herself as “Smit ten” and who thinks he has allur ing eyes. Art “Swiftie” Lareon, pride and joy of the Phi Delt bam worms his way in because he is “hard, handsome and heart-break ing,” and LawTence Loveridge be cause of the appeal of his little moustache. This brings the nomination list to the present standing: Phil Sheridan Cotter Gould Abbie Green Carl Johnson Kenton Crane Les Hunter Bill Haggerty Tim Wood Jerry Gunther .
