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

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!

students and alumni and expect i

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.

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.

THE IDIOTS BALL
Look out for the Indians,
Flag the train,
Battle the gale
With might and main.
I’m the Kaiser, -where’s my bike?
Stop the flood, plug up the dike.
California cannot win,
How many angels can sit on a pin?
I’ve got an elephant in my pocket,
Baby swollied a big sky-rocket,
I ought to stop and I will too,
Before I’m beat up black and blue.
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. Home
at last.
