May It Never Come to Pass ROGER BABSON is a statisti cian, whatever that means. He is also one of the demi gods of the business world, because in Ameri ca anything #c.an be proved by sta tistics, and Mr. Babson knows his figures. But even a statistician must have his off-moments, and Mr. Babson must have been suffering a severe case of efficiency when he made known what he woud do if ho were president of a college. After reading the educational credo of this Grand Second-Splitter for the Great |God Get-up and Go, we have decided that Mr. Babson would indeed make an excellent executive for a refor matory. Here are a few things Mr. Babson would do if he were president of a college (which we hope will come to pass no sooner than the millen nium) : "I would cut the college course to two years. “1 would put in a time clock and make the students punch it. “I would train boys to habits of thrift, punctuality, conscientious ness and check up on them. “I would get rid of big business athletics—football games with tickets at $5. “1 would restore athletics to the many. “1 would get rill tof college snob bery, and stop waste of time.” Begging Mr. Babson's pardon, bo cause not being statisticians we are not. qualified to talk about colleges, wo would enlarge and expand his formula something like this: I would discard all feminine and useless courses in history, philoso phy, and literature, and substitute two years of real learning. The curriculum would consist of courses on statistics, principles of statis tics, history of statistics, philosophy of statistics, psychology of statis tics, statistics of statistics, physiol ogy of statistics, hiOW to cat lunch in a minute and a half, fallacies of fletcherization, how to live on three hourB a day, and so on*. I would make the faculty prepare time sheets showing just how they spent each minute of the day. 1 would discharge those who worked less than eight hours, and pay no overtime to those who worked more. I would ban co-education in or der that the men might develop hab its of thrift. I would cut all campus paths in a straight line so as to conserve time used in going around curves. I would have all students carry trays with them so that they might save time by eating meals while go ing to and from class. I would remove all doors from buildings to save waste effort. But why go further? Just be cause the great efficiency expert wasted a lot of time, why should wo? How Nice When It Is Settled SOME day, my dears, millions and millions of years from now, when you and I and our grandchil dren are dead and what's the dif ference, there won’t be much left in the world to argue about. Everything — or almost every thing—will be settled. People will cat only what is good for them. There won’t lie any prohibition, for there won’t bo anything to prohi bit. Messrs. Shaw and Mencken will bo dead. Traffic rules will all lie perfect and traffic cops relegated to the limbo of the distant past. Perhaps even the younger and old er generations will reach an un heard of plane of felicitous agree ment. Dull, you think? Not at all. Everybody can sit down and have a perfectly lovely time argu ing which is the dumber, Man or Woman. And they need have no fear of an end to their good times. With this in mind, the recent discussion in an English literature claims savors of sampling the des sert first. One feels that the broad er aspects of such a subject should be left until that happy day when everyone lias more time. If we find, however, that we simply cannot contain ourselves, it might be more expedient to confine ourselves to such comparatively simple questions of dogma as whe ther or not Adam was a gentleman or Eve a blond. With sufficient dil igence, the answer might be found. —11. A. Telling Them the Ways of a College OEYKHAB hundred high school k-/ students are going to hear sev eral hundred fireside chats this week-end from several dozen hard ened college students. Half of the several hundred visi tors will learn that college is all work; the other half will learn that it is all play. We hope the prappers will hear enough of both sides to learn that college may be either or both. “Great American Ass'1'’ Received at Library A startlingly bright green cover, bearing the title: “The Great Amor lean Ass,” covers a book that would seem u be one of the most interesting of the new ones at the library. It is an autobiography and :* anonymous. It is said to be pas sionately self-revealing. Young Iloy Bradley, rursed on the milk of Massachusetts’ legends, discovers that he has been reared a blithering uss. wandering in the wilderness of frustration. The book reveals the pitiful tragedy of his sensitive soul equipped with only empty phrases to light an alien world. It is filled with satiric hu mor and is a ruthless expose of the author and his people. “Darwin,” by Gamaliel Bradford, is the life story of that gentle and tolerant man who overturned the world of thought, shifted the whole attitude of science, and uplieaved the very foundations of religion and morality. It is said of Darwin, “He made hell a laughing stock and heaven a dream.’’ The plot of “Shoot,” by Luigi Pirandello, is that of two men, who, poles apart in disposition, but irre sistibly drawn by the same woman, beautiful and unfathomable in nat ure, when brought face to face with the awakening fierceness of an im prisoned tiger and their own un leased emotions, find the answer to their problems in a most unexpected manner. “Lord Baingo,” by Arnold Ben nett and “The Treasure House of Belgium” by Ktnile Oanimaerts, a story of Belgium’s land, people, art and literature, are also new books. Pedging Announcement Theta Chi announces the peldging of Thorston Bennett of Milton, Ore gon. TfcSEVEN .SEEM IT’S AN ILL WIND THAT BLOWS NOBODY GOOD. DUB TO THE CONFERENCE THERE ARE NO CLASSES IN THE JOURNAL ISM SCHOOL TODAY. • • • If you care for Milt Gross * writ ing you surely have something in store when you read “Hiawatta, Witt No Odder Poems,” hot off the press of Doran. * * * HALL OF FAME AS WEBBY DOES IT SESTER ETTERS “Because of her reputation as leading lady in Junior Vod-vil mus ical comedies.” Because she keeps everyone guessing.—Guessing what it is that she is singing. And be cause she is one of the most active (physical ed. majors) of the class of ’27. AN CENTWORTH “Because of her help in making the 1926 Homecoming successful, be cause slie is one of the best com mittee workers in the University, and also because she wears a prize smile and has a cheery ‘hello’ for everyone.” It that’s fame, well— POME Whatever troubles Adam had In Eden neath blue skies; He never had to get a date For a prepper ivith crossed eyes. Campus Strolling Mrs. Hall and Grace Elizabeth arriving home from a morning shop ping tour in a new Yellow Cab. Be wildered-looking delegates arriving at the Ad building. A1 Sinclair walking as stiff and straight as ever. A woman with a blue feather boa around her neck. I thought boas went out at the same time um brella handles stopped curving. Pat Morrisette walking along medita tively with his hands in his pockets. I’ll bet he’s not thinking about his Report Writing classes either. The English chap who came all the way from Johannesburg, South Africa, to enter the Eugene Bible Univer sity this year. Everyone for their own tastes, as the old lady said. *#*****#*## BUGHOUSE FABLE * “The freshmen at our house * * are always glad to give up their * * beds to the delegates, aren’t * * yours ? ” * *********** You can always tell the delegates by the kind of clothes they wear. None of them would think of going around the campus in the things we wear. T^ov must be collegiate by all means. I wonder how many of them will notice that the sign on the south door of the shack is spelled incor rectly. It reads JOURNALISM BUILING. And while on the subject of signs, —Why not leave them up perma nently? They would prove a great aid in helping us iget to our eight o’clocks on time. Little Willie mean as heck, ...Tied a knot in baby’s neck; Mother said with many sighs, “’Tis hard to break one’s family ties.” Keith Preston in the Chicago Daily News: The movement to belittle George Washington continues. A New York woman, Mrs. Charlotte Schoemmel, has swum the Delaware through the ice at the point where George cross ed on the ferry. No, Gretchen, “ Prometheus Bound" is not a travel story. IN THE REALM OF DRAMA Plot: The search for a speaker. Anyone: “Who will speak for me? U Don’t No: “I will speak for you, my man.” Anyone: “And who are you prav tell?” U. D. N.: “Whv Jack Hemp stead!” (Flourishes hands in air.) Anyone (awed): “Not Jack Hemp stead of the A. S. U. O.?” .1. Hempstead: “None other!” University band strikes up “Ore gon, Our Alma Mater,” and Hemp stead mounts soap box amid deafen ing booes. “We had eight things for lunch today.” “Eight! What were thev?” “Hash.” A deafening thud followed. Another one of those words that come from no one knows where has hit the campus. It is “eagmag” and is used both as an adjective and a noun to describe anything that is old-fashioned or dowdy. paul’ luy January 14, 1927 The following freshmen report to Bill Prudhomme in the Wom en’s Gym at 2:30 today: Dick Rnwlinson, dim Wiley.
