IF ANY man thinks that ho alone is wise—that in speech, or in mind, he hath no peer,— such a soul, when laid open, is ever found empty.—Sophocles. Professor Push, Efficiency Expert THE much-maligned students, no less long suffering than their accusers, having been repeatedly charged with lack of interest in knowledge for its own sake, have about faced and have started to do a little indicting on their own account. Not that they deny the charge, for the complaint rings true, Jjpt tljey have concluded that they themselves are not alone to blame. If they must go to trial, they de mand that the professors of push _go with them. We arc indebted to the Daily of McGill university for our introduc tion to Professor Push, though it is not necessary to go to Canada to find him. Ho also livos in Eugene, and probably in every other college or university town. lie is not the scholar immortalized by the motion pictures—ho of the threadbare suit and hunted look who spends his spare moments por ing over dust-covered tomes. He is just the opposite from the film scholar. Professor Push is a pedagogue ef ficiency expert who marks “the coming of big business into the university.” He works on factory principles—efficiency, more effici ency, 'and still more efficiency. Ho really hasn’t time to do much more, because he has an engagement to address the service club at luncheon, and his newly-acquired stenograph er is too busy filing his speeches 1o copy his occasional notes concern ing his classwork. Tin- professor’s lectures are pre pared in carefully measured doses, and are digestible whether nr not one is in the mood to receive them. In fact, compulsory class attendance is a part of the well-planned ef ficiency system. Results are inter preted in salaries received after graduation and whenever an alumnus reaches the $50,000-a-year mark, he Commun ications To the Editor: It is the opinion of I ho undersigned that the persons to select the iiiimo for Oregon’s future athletic champions should be simon pure, dyed in -tho-wool, blown in-the bottle Oregonians, steeped for a college generation or more, in Oregon traditions. It was therefore with some sur prise and, it must bo admitted, a touch of trepidation that the writer saw himself appointed by one of his good friends to a place on the committee which, the Emerald says, is to select the name for the teams. The committee, apparently, is a bit unofficial, although there is nothing the matter with the qualifications of the other two members. The writer hastens to assure skeptical alumni who may be train-j ing doubtful eyes in his direction, 1 that lie has no idea of loading them tip with any cognomen or sobriquet or nom de guerre which will weary them or give aid and comfort to 1 our antagonists in athletics. He •wouldn’t, and he couldn’t. He does not believe that the committee will undertake to settle this momentous question, on which eo much of our future happiness ap pears to depend, lie is reminded of an ironic remark made in Seattle by a University of Washington wag n few years ago, “Well, fellows, things ure a little dull; let’s start a new tradition.” We simply can’t decree these! 4hings and hand them out to the students and alumni and expect i is enshrined in alma mater’s hall of fame. • 0 Professor Push has neither time nor inclination for the development of the spirit of curiosity either in his students or in himself. His sys tem calls for the memorization of statistics and not philosophical doc trines. He and his students are not drawn together in a mutual inter est in eternal problems. What have eternal problems to do with bread-winning? The search for truth is too inconsequential for an age of standardization, and fits not at all into an efficiency system. Better prepare the students mo that they may meet the immediate re quirements of the world, and as for the inquiring spirit—well, let that develop with age or in any other manner. So Professor Push stands at the switch and operates the university factory. One of his antagonists, Professor Stephen Leacock, of Mc Gill, has explained the system with his remark: “You put the money in the slot and out comes the degree.” And it’s a good machine. Ab solutely no blanks. Unless Professor Push is re placed by more stimulating teach ers who can arouso the students’ curiosities and encourage their re searches, “the colleges will face complete metamorphosis,” the Mc Gill Daily believes. Well, it’s hard to tell who is to blame. We don’t know who is re sponsible for Professor Push or who is responsible for the too evident lack of student interest in the much glorified search for truth. Let us blame the machine age of standardization for the develop ment of the unpopular efficiency professor, in the absence of a more suitable peg. And then let us blame Mr. Push for the general decline in student interest. Now' let us get rid of Professor Push and start all over again. We may not reach tho medieval ideal, but fortunately we still have teach era who have managed somehow to ignore the efficiency methods. There’s hope, itself as eternal as truth, to solace us. In the mean time, with the McGill editor, we utter a prayer for the early down fall of Professor Push’s efficiency dynasty. Not Professor Push of Montreal, Canada,— but Professor Push of Eugene, Oregon. them to swallow our offerings. The spark of spontaneity has got to be there. These things are not formu lated; they grow, they evolve. Did you ever hear of a town meeting taking up the matter of nicknames for the boys and girls'? Faculty members and some of the older stu dents remember a more or less praiseworthy effort made a few years ago to retire the inelegant "P’oficr” from the campus. Some one got $,') in lawful money of the United States for suggesting “jun er.” Have yoa heard it lately? Most of us have almost forgotten the effort made a few short years ago to call our fellows the Pioneers. The writer’s guess is that the committee will make no effort to “select” a name for Oregon’s rep resentatives. It, perhaps, will rec ommend some name, perhaps two or three or more, and let the yell-lead ers and the fireplace boys and the campus at large try them out. With all the noble four-footed fur-bearing animals from beavers to bears ap propriated by our forehanded con temporaries, it’s going t0 be a dif ficult job. But what’s the rush? Better, perhaps, wait a year or two’ and get something natural that i rings the bell; for as sure as we I adopt something without wearing qualities of tradition and interest’ and zip, it will join “Pioneers” and "juners” in the limbo of lost words. After a few months’ trial of some seemingly desirable possibilities, it may be that the sports writers and the yell-leaders and others prin cipally concerned will sift the sit nation satisfactorily, and the selec- i lion will be made. It should be as1 nnauimous as “death” and “taxes.” j Respectfully yours, GEORGE TURNBULL. *TfeSEVEN ft *“■?. “WHAT FUR?” SAID THE j OREGON CO-ED, AS SHE PAT-; TED THE O. A. C. BEAVER. • * • Bill Dills came down to the cam pus this week for the express pur pose of wishing the Seven Seers Beauty contest the best. Bill was one of the runners up for Mr. Ore gon when a famed Beta came out ahead. Bill, however, says that doesn’t cramp his style at all, for he has been rating ever since, we wishes to congratulate all of the candidates and hopes that they all win. But he leaves with the story and fable—Beauty is as beauty was. A really dumb person asked today what happens when wrestlers get a head lock and lose the key. “My, that girl surely is the live ■wire. ” “Yes, everything she wears is charged.” We were praying for rain—with so many love affairs blossoming out, we wonder if they think it is still spring.

Bob Mautz one day said to a jour nalist, “What is the matter with the Emerald, no news no more—nothing important in it.” BOB MAUTZ At least this issue will come up to expectations—Important things are in print this time. NEW TEAM NAME! So many bright and clever sug gestions for a name for the Oregon team have been pouring in, the Seers hasten to disclose one they heard in the vicinity of Villard Hall yesterday. . . . “OREGON ONIONS,” because the team is both green and strong. Or how about the “ NON-FLUNKERS, ” be cause they pass so much? And there's always the “CHAMBER MAIDS," because they sweep down the field and have a rough line. Here is the newest—frosh ean be paddled by proxy, (probably be by the prexy). Sigma Phi Eps are wishing Ron Sellers luck in paddling his own canoe. One night he dated—went up the race—current too much for him, so he went down stream— when it neared the hour of 10:30 he turned to return to the Anchorage —again the race was too much for him—he and date walked home from there—(he being a gentleman, walked home with the maiden)— An hour later he returned with two brothers of brawn to aid in the re turn to Bailey of the canoe.
