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.

River. 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.

Inter-Class Track
Artists are Wanted
A second meeting of the commit
tee on inter-class track was held
at McArthur court yesterday after
noon. 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.
