Caldwell Assistant Night Editors—Ralph MiHsap FRIDAY. OCTOBER 21, 1927. Freddie's Fears Found False M'T'HK MORBIJJ crowd moved by A prurient curiosity” t I) a t crowded the Women'x building be fore the opening of Judge Ben Lindsey’s address last night became very restive as their curiosity oozed out long before the water pitcher was emptied, fcjmail satisfaction for a prurient curiosity I There’s little doubt that Judge Lindsey has a sincere message. And the. fact that his topic holds such novel appeal is ample indication of general social ignorance. Maybe lie stimulates some thought, and that conjecture justifies his appearance here. It hardly, however, supports his popular position as inventor of the 1927 model mechanical stork which he advertises. Whether or not social reform such as repeal of the Comstock act, is really demanded by circumstances is impossible to determine from the befogged discourse of the Judge. The circumlocutions and reminis cences, the autobiography and the mawkish sentimental melodrama, successfully obfuscate the issue. In short, the campus was treated to a popular lecture. A substantial and pithy fifteen minute appeal - but stretched, diluted and padded to nine times its normal compass. Our smug clerics who righteously asserted in the press that none of the sort of thing—euphemistically put to spars their delicacy—that the judge described could happen in thoroughly Christianized Kngenc, need have no fears of the gratifica tion of prurient curiosity. The curiosity induced by their helpful but misleading and malodorous ad vert ising. Wake i p f Fight 'Em. Oregon THU famed Oregon spirit! Where is ft? What has happened to it? The fo<dball team has it. If they have lost it, as some say, how ac count for the stand they made Sat urday, even after defeat was a cer tainty ? Has the student body got |f? Maybe, but they didn’t show it in Hurt land last Saturday. The Ore gon looters were so lacking in the fighting spirit that has long been synonimous with the University’s participation in 'athletic contests that the sportswliters who covered the game are commenting on it in their columns. Such a condition is disgraceful and is bound to reflect unfavorably upon the esteem with which the University teams and their sup porters have long been regurded. It has often been said that Ore gon fight and Oregon spirit were famous throughout the camps of her athletic opponents. Karl AV. On thank, executive secretary of the University, found that the eon ten thank, executive secretary of the tion was true when he visited over twenty college and university ram frtises duiing the last spring and summer. To be a good sport,- to be courte ous to a defeated enemy, and to be able to lose gracefully are impor t.-tfit parts of the American code of actions. The Oregon student body is in grave danger of losing its repu tation for sportsmanship unless it speedily faces about from the pres ent attitude. (lames are so arranged that but one side may win While the other must lose. The same side run not win all of the time. It is not to be expected that the team with the poorer material should win from one with better. Isn’t it possible that the California Bear had a bet ter football "machine than did the Lemon-Yellow? Is i( u disgrace to go down fighting? Oregon’s reputation for a fighting spirit was not made while winning easy games. It is not fight on the part of a student body to chew while a team is winning, but mere coasting on the crest of a popular wave. The fame of Oregon fight came as a result of never giving up in up-hill battles. That spirit is doomed to die unless Oregon root ers can fight in the fare of defeat. - AV. C. More Time For Thought (Daily Californian) TIJK University of Southern Oiili fornin lias added classes in moving picture production, scenario writing and stage setting to their list of courses. Thus another field of activity which is now to lie in cluded in the college curricula. Uni versities are more and more becom ing professional institutions. One may deplore this fact. How ever, students in general no longer desire a cultural education but pro fessional tminin.g Willieli will yield them profit in later life. No doubt this is contrary to the original pur poses of universities, but they, like everything else, must change with time. One often wishes that there were more time for a cultural education. Hoi|uireiiioiits swamp the average student. if he has the desire to pore over one subject deeply or digress from the routine of his course, he is immediately jerked up by this midterm or that report which must be in on time. Vet how many wish that they might attend a college which had few rcipiircments, where there was time for original thought mid work, where there were more professors and fewer teachers a place where true scholars might meet and exchange ideas. of sound.

This concluded the actual business of the conference. .The uiost vital problems discussed by the delegates concerned relation 'of news to editorials and editorial policies, and organization for adaptation to new and changing sit uations. A resolution was passed to the effect that the student paper should print all the news, that the news is of more value* to the stu dents than sectional opinions.. The “’Ubvssey,” in a conference number said, “it has been proven time and time again that students never heed the editorials. Their present deplorable plight, their biighty apathy and their unregenerate fol lowing of bad habits bear irrefut able testimony to the above con tention. Editorials in any ease are nearly always contrary to the fixed opinions of the student body and the leaders.” , In commenting on (he work of the conference, Ray Nash said, “the handicap’ of having no least com mon denominator—-that is, nothing to bring the problems of dailies, weeklies, and bi-weeklies together | on any single basis—makes it a little awkward. And perhaps there will be some change in the person nel of the association. On the whole, the sessions were very profit able since they, enabled editors and managers to quickly grasp the widely varying problems. What was probably of most importance was the fact that it strengthened the delegates’ determination for greater independence of thought and freedom of .expression.” He further expressed his satisfac tion of the work when he said, “our hosts surely caught tin; exact tone of true hospitality and good man agement. There were no breaks nor wasteful pauses in the program. ; It was perfectly executed.” The I’. I. J\ A. meeting next year will be held at the University of California at Los Angeles and’ the University of Oregon will likely be represented again. __'_ ' •»___ SMART BLACK FELTS $5 to $7.50 —At— Letita Abram’s HAT SHOP —in the— Densmorc-Lcouard Co.

The main difficulty which confronts the members of the com mittee is that up until this time, the turnout has been very exclu sive, in fact there lias been none. The committee, consisting of Ed Prowiey, senior; Kalph McOullock, junior; Dick Horn, sophomore; and | Tyrrell Lowry, freshman, has de cided that as soon as a few men I turn out for practice, a captain will be chosen whose duty will be to keep after the members of bis team to get them to train for the meet. This meet is to be held on Novem ber a, and with the severe compe tition -which will be offered by the lettermen in the upper classes, it be hooves the lowerclassmen to get their squads out on the field and determine just who shall represent their i-espectivc classes in the clash, and what distances they will n' tempt to cover in record tinny ac cording to the managers. The prize of a large numeral to each member of the winning aggregation should not be overlooked, and the chance to run against O. A. ('. in the cross country race during Homecoming is an even greater reason why those at all interested in running events should report to their class man ager at an early date. Music Majors Elect Officers for New Club At a meeting of music majors yesterday afternoon a club was or ganized. Its main functions will jic to foster social contacts ami musical programs. No name has been given to the club as yet but officers have been elected. Roberta Wilcox was elected president, Car olyn Cooper, r ice president, and Helen Williams, .secretary.
