The habit of reflection I am compelled to say, is the most pernicious of all , the habits formed by civilized man.—Joseph Conrad. Thou Shalt Not Discredit the Court THE EMERALD acknowledges with heart-felt thanks and due humility the very generous action of the student court in permitting one of its representatives to join in the eminent judiciary’s second star-chamber session, yesterday. Let it be clearly understood that “the court’s action was not based on * the Emerald’s earlier criticism of the first session. Emphatically not* What’s more, the austere judges hesitated to grant admittance to the reporter for fear that in so do ing they might appear to be bowing to outside influence. They permit ted tho reporter to enter because— well, just “because.” ■They also told him, after they bad seriously considered his case, that he would be denied further ad mittance if the Emerald in any way ridiculed the court or reported its proceedings in a manner not in keeping with the dignity of the learned and just magistrates. After swallowing whole the prin ciples of faith embodied in the court’s holy creed, the reporter was permitted to enter the sacred pre cincts where justice rules in simple splendor. So, let it be understood, the court has no regard for tho Emerald. But despite their great learning, tho judges inadvertently confessed that though the Emerald may not bo able to force the court into open session, it can at least force it to Temain closed. Read the story of the meeting in today’s Emerald. Certainly, tin1 re porter has done nothing to ridicule the court. All he has done is report the proceedings, the questions and decisions. He has left it to tho court to make itself look ridiculous. The court has succeeded. One culprit agreed with the judge’s suggestion that he (the ac cused) is not opposed to the green hat tradition. The clever lad (al ways agree with the judge, child ren) was allowed to go free. Ah, but the next man very wise ly said that hats are more com fortable in rainy weather than are “lids.” Quite right. Asked it- ho would continue to wear a hat in stead of the traditional green cap, he refused to commit himself. A wise course in cases of doubt. Did the very excellent court dis miss the case and give the man credit for having sense? Oh no.] “Four swats from a paddle” will refresh his memory on the matter of traditions. Are they going to hit him on tho head? Those who confessed disagree ment with the tradition were asked to tell why green caps should not be worn by freshmen. Well, you very learned judges, let us hear from you why they should be worn. You are upholding the affirmative in this matter; the burden of proof rests on you. Tell us, won’t you, why you or anyone has a right to dictate to someone else on the hats he should wear. Give us some of your matured wisdom and don’t believe too sincerely that your mock dignity is an acceptable sub stitute for reason. And just think of the court com plaining that it is being unjustly discredited by the Emertnd! Lords, majesties, little tin gods, —fear not. We shall make no fur ther efforts to discredit you. Just continue to play house as you now are, and in a short time we are sure youwillhave discredited yourselves far more completely than we could ever hope to. Philosopher in Sports Writer’s Clothing WRITERS of sports news are rarely thought of as practical philosophers. They are more gen erally considered masters of fiction writing, which description may or may not be fitting. Then, there may be here and there one of those rare geniuses who combines both talents, The Emerald’s own Mr. Mangum has long been recognized by his readers and co-workers as an excel lent sports editor. lie is the posses sor of a refreshing style, masterful phraseology, and well-directed hu mor. These talents, combined with his own experience as a football player, well qualify him for his hazardous occupation. There is an ever-present danger, it must be re membered, to the sports scribe who makes the fatal slip of slighting athletic stars. But Mr. Mangum weighs 200 pounds, besides being accurate. So Mr. Harold Mangum has a good professional reputation, and no writer could ask for more. But our sports editor is also a practical phil osopher. “Publicity Secret of Success, Thinks Mangum,” the Tuesday Em erald cries in astonishment. The sur prise comes in the first four words, for sports writers are known to think, even out loud, as Mr. Man gum seems to have done on this occasion. And the athlete, whoso photograph appears in the column gazes upward, as though scanning the headline, his wrinkled forehead seeming to indicate great interest. Two secrets are out: the first, a positive means to success, and the other, far more important, the ex position of Mr. Mangum’s hitherto unappreciated genius. The weight of authority rests on Mr. Mangum’s side, for Mr. Man gum agrees with Mr, Mangum’s declaration, and who knows better than Mr. Mangumf After all, Mr. Mangum has frequent use of the line: “By Harold Mangum, Sports Editor.” % Why do we write this? Only to test Mr. Mangum’s theory and to gi\e him a little friendly assistance, hy way of publicity, on his hazard ous climb to the dazzling heights of success. Diversions On a Penny Whistle Iowa Interiors By RUTH SUCKOW Hero is another trenchant exposi tion of realism in the much vivi sected Middle West, a feminine ver sion this time, which at once calls up the contrasting dictums as de livered by Sherwood Anderson and Sinclair Lewis. Ruth Suckow in this group of short stories makes as completo a cycle as she could have done in a full length novel by restricting her snillieu to Iowa farms and hy in cluding a wide range of types and j strata. She deals in more direct | symbols than Anderson and her an alysis is directed at the homely, np I parent aspects of her field. Either I she does not recognize, or else she ! eschews the psychological tortuos- \ ities of Anderson’s preoccupations. She treats of sex from the view point from which her characters themselves see it—an habitual force having its expression in marriage and the production of children, not in the intricate potentialities with which Anderson sees it activated. This is perhaps one mark of the femininity of the treatment. Ruth Suckow draws the verities of her saga-like cycle from the molding force of the social and economic structure. The details of the picture lie against the dark canvas of the lands, as do plots of color against the long brown fields of the country she describes. Running between the lives is a common force which comes from and goes back into the land. Occasionally someone breaks the pattern, and it is always by break ing from the land, going out to urban life, becoming a "city man.” And even these, if they come back, feel again the old force reaching out to them, expressing itself in old unchanging, inarticulate ways of living. In contrast to the detailed em phasis of Sinclair Lewis’ “Main Street,” Ruth Suekow diffused her effect partly by the arrangement in short stories and partly by the range of her subject matter over farm, town, church, soeial life, poverty, and prosperity. She flashed a suc cession of sharply etched scenes, unlike in individual implication, but all part of a cycle. Her style is utterly unmannered, sometimes even harsh; but its suit able simplicity gives the effect of spontaneous expression. It might be the direct narration of one of her characters. Humour is notably* ab sent. But at the conclusion of “Iowa Interiors,” one feels with the author herself, no doubt, that in all this there is little humour. The picture is not drab but its shad ing is in its poignancy and pervad ing homeliness. • Ruth Suekow leaves no doubt about the distorting pos sibilities as well as the simple vir tues of corn-raising in Iowa as an inherited occupation, but she de livers her opinion with an intense ly sympathetic kind of pessimism. A detailed investigation of her method would point out the almost stenographic exactness of her trans positions from life to paper, the syn thesis of the numerous types she scans, and her selection of highly charged situations. But more im portant than the mounting of her thesis is the indelibility of the whole, one illuminated sector from the life of the great American com mon people. One might point in ending, if to nothing else, to the “Golden Wed ding,” a short story, to rank with Anderson’s “I’m a Fool,” as in it self a«jjustification of the book’s perusal. Its crisp realism and muted ironv are incomparable. M. J. S. Court (Continued from page one) I your memory not to forget and I (don’t want to see you up here again,” the judge said as he dis missed the case. The third case on yesterday’s i docket was that of Darold Elkins, | a flagrant offender of the green lid custom. The accused’s excuse was i that “he forgot.” ! Putting on your green lid should I be like opening the door, not like j putting on a top coat or rain coat, j the chairman admonished. | Since the freshman hatf the proper S«ttitude and was in favor of fresh time he was assigned three swats and warned to wear his lid all the time. Kenton Case was notified but did not appear. He was sentenced to j six swats for failure to wear his I lid. Those who were to have ap j peared last Wednesday were order ' ed by the court to be at the steps (today. | The court is composed of Lowell i Baker, chairman, Tom Graham, and i Prank Reinhart. Reinhart was not present at yesterday’s session. In dealing with each case the court pointed out to the student that the offense was against Oregon traditions. * Practice Games Held For Swimming Matches In Women’s Finals In preparation for the women’s swimming matehes, which will be held next week, a series of prac tice games are being played during this week. None of the teams have been picked ns yet, the selection be ing difficult due to the number of women starring in each of the events. The games played thus far are: sophomore first team versus fresh man third, and a combination of freshman second and junior second teams versus the freshman fourth and fifth teams. The sophomores: won their match, 33 to -0, and the freshman-junior combination defeat ed the freshman teams, 57 to 4.

The Alpha Chi cook' wishes to state that in speaking of turning on the H20 faucet—let’s have soup —that she is irate that anyone has stolen her recipe. Now we suppose for the rest of the year the menu will be soup via water. SOLDIER FITS Some people return from vaca tions with no wardrobes—but the best one is Jack Hempstead has donned a smart well fitting lieuten ant’s uniform—in care of the R. O. T. C. Don’t salute. STACKED AGAIN Stacks and stacks of things hap pen back in the stacks—Beware of the brunette man, who wishes to help the campus fragiles. All take heed,' ’tis a warning printed this day. A POX UPON THEM! Now it came to pass that in the castle Sigma Chi one of the Knights of the Study Table fell ill with the plague, and he 'Was sore oppressed. And his fellow First Knighters cried, “Fetch this sad Knight a nightie, and we shall hie him to yon Infirmarrie. ” So Squire Bill worthy Williamse, for such was this pledge with the plague dubbed, was mounted on a snorting palfry and hied away to the pest house where he will hide for several days. And when this goodly deed was accomplished the jolly Knights of Sigma Chi returned to their castle and there was much merrymaking. Every knight did raise a tankard of nitre on high and'the court jester, Dickity Jones, did cause, much raucous laughter. But as with a mighty shout they said, “Let us away to a joust!’’ Just then a Phyzicke came in and made known to them that they must be pricked by the needle to prevent a spread of the plague. Then did the Knight cry, “Dam these leeches! They sneak in and speak out of their turn.’’ But it was of no avail, for they undid their armor and breast plates and did make much moan, one fair Knight swooning from the suffering. And so throughout the court for days to come there will be no court ing of damsels, by reason of the sore arms. He is tall And dark of hair And lie demands That she must, wear Woolen hose More elothes Hid she obey I 'll say.
