Knows Neither Who Nor What TJ1EBE is nothing occult in the emergence of natural student accompaniments of excitement as cheering machines. Organizing gen ius is not alone confined to Ameri can business, so it would be strange indeed if such a force would not be exploited for spectacular effects. In this way, united mass yelling has come to be an engine; one tc be carefully groomed by a corps oi hostlers beforo each test; hardly second to the athletic machine in registering victory. But evolution seems to have become accelerated beyond the student appetite. For when the logical sequenco to indi vidual mimetic movements—highly organized collegiate pageantry—is offered, the Northwest student pal ate revolts. It will have none of it. tinder the flippant caption, “East Is So Nice******Crudo Out Hero,” the Washington Daily garbles, ir deed if not in word, a communica tion from Ralph D. Casey, “former Oregon faculty member.” Says the Daily: That between-lialvcs frolicking is regarded as undignified and un gentlemnnly in tho East is the opinion given by Italph D. Casey, former Oregon faculty member, in in a recent lettor to tho Oregon Emerald. Writing from Madison, the homo of tho Wisconsin Bad gers, ho deplores tho spirit of revelry evident at tho football games in the Northwest between halves. Fes, in addition to high-hatting a most prominent Washington grad uate of the class of '13—former edi tor of the Daily, Phi Beta Kappa and whatnot the Daily has lifted Mr. Casey’s comment from context necessary to its souse. It has dis torted a criticism of one particularly gawkisk instance to apply generally to all between-lialvcs frolics held in the Northwest. As Emerald readers will recall, Mr. Casev suggested constructive changes -bands and pageantry to displace cheap and often ill-natured exhibitions. All of which the Em erald heartily endorsod. Oregon is proud to claim Ralph 1). Casey as a “former Oregon faculty member.” if Washington doesn’t assert its prior claims, w’ell and good. But. although the Daily con tinues refusing recognition of whom it’s talking, in fairness to its alum nus and also former faculty mem ber, it should acquaint itself with what it is talking. Concerning the Art Of Whittling iiXT^TELL—lor a year or two I ' » am going to whittle.” Such, according to press reports, is the declaration made by President C'oolidge when asked what ho in tends to do when he retires to Ver mont on the expiration of his term of office. The usual product of the pastime is a pile of shavings, or whittlings if you will; but in the hands of the ex port whittler the wood may bo made to take on a form of usefulness. So much for the physical aspects of whittling. Just as the knife of steel is used to trim the wood to meet the plan of the whittler, so should the knife of criticism be used to shape the individual to the re quirements of life. The years which he spends in pur suit of an education is u period wherein the student with a purpose is seeking to build his mental equip ment to such a state of perfection as to require a minimum amount of readjustment when it is placed in active service. That the modern educational sys tem is still endeavoring to fit square pegs into round holes, and vice versa, is indicated by the num ber of students wlio prepare to fol low one occupation only to find themselves unfitted for it. Regardless of what his instructors may try to do for him, tho final shaping of his education remains with the student. If he is to truly fit himself for a definite purpose, he must criticize his inner self. Others may aid in determining what course is to be adopted but he alone has knowledge of his likes and dis likes, of the inner conditions which govern his real adaptibility to the vocation selected. The amount of shavings which re sult from the whittling out of an object is largely governed by the definiteness with which tho object is conceived in tho mind of the carver at the start of tho process. In educational matters, however, few courses, carefully attended to, can bo said to bo just so much wasted time for the individual even though ho makes no specific use of the knowledge gained in them; but it is possible to greatly increase tho efficiency of one’s education by carefully considering the possible value of a course before taking it, thus eliminating much of the chance that it will be scrapped later yn. To shape the material to a pur- j pose indicates a plan thought out 1 ill advance; to try to bend a pur- i [Vise to fit the available material is a makeshift proposition with! slight chance of success. file time to whittle is now. —W. C. . Commun ications »4*'i — “A Wonderful Display” The three senile alumni who joined in the first raspberry letter greet you. This time, however, we wish to compliment the student body upon its wonderful display of Ore gon spirit and fight at Homecoming. VVe believe that the alumni of tho state join us in saying that it was not only a marvelous celebration, with the exception of the game, and 1 hat Oregon spirit is not dead. Tho big thing now is not to let it even get a night’s sleep before next year, the year after or ten years lienee. With proper support, we place that first, the men coming up from tho freshman team and a chance during spring practice to acquaint the squad with the fundamentals of blocking, tackling, running interfer ence and, in general, the basic prin ciples of the game, there is no reason why Oregon should not have a great loam next your. Look at California a year ago. Wo will bo on band to trim tho "ioka, if needed. Your job is to keep the vessel filled with oil. ALEXANDER G. BROWN, ’22 EP HOYT, >23 LEE BOSTWICK, Ex-’16 Alumni Rules Quoted To the Editor: 1 am very sorry that distance made it inevitable that 1 should learn of the alumni round table at this late date. However, Mr. Ed ward Miller's note stirred me to ac tion. I too had resolved to let the Uni versity go its own course without my advice when 1 had joined the alumni ranks, an arrangement that I am sure is no loss acceptable and gratifying to the University than to me. However, I write not to add my voice to those of the immortals, but merely to suggest some rules for alumni conduct laid down last year by Mr. Patrick Monkhouse, now on the staff of the Manchester Guard-! inn (this seems to be a newspaper}' discussion anyhow) and a visitor here several years ago with the Ox Tfte SEVEN SEERS “Do you know what is meant by Scotch descent?” “Yes, leaping out of an airplane to save burning the gas it would take to land.” FABLE Once somebody got up and said a few freshmen were wanted, and no body shouted, “Well?” The boys up at the Delt farm are congratulating themselves that they got all their crops in before the heavy rains set in. They also send in word that four diminutive rab bits have been added to the live stock. Things ought to be ready for the big round-up sometime soon. Which reminds us of Gretelien telling about one of the frosli at her house being so dumb she thinks a hair raising story is one dealing with the multiplying of rabbits. TODAY’S GEOGRAPHICAL ANSWER “What did the robber say to you?” “Hanover those jewels or your name is mud” (and she laughed, etc.) Little Blue Eyes says it’s all right to go with a bad egg—if it isn’t broke. MADDENING MOMENTS Finding that the moth proof bag one of the brothers sold us last fall has a hole in it and that all that remains of our tux is a few buttons in the bottom of the bag. SUSAN CAMPBELL HALL TO HAVE TRACK TEAM Secrecy so far shrouds all prac tice of the Susan Campbell track squad which is rapidly rounding into shape. A track team in a wo men’s organization is somewhat of an innovation this year but it is ex pected that plenty of competition will be available along the entire coast. Every evening around 10 J o’clock the squad of about ten girls slip Into costumes that for all the world resembles track uniforms and start for Hayward field. There they climb the fence and circle the regu lar track several times. Gretchen thinks Springfield is the three mile limit. “Let’s fly to Hawaii,” chortled the Oregon frosh as he tackled the rook Hawaiian fullback.

On what occasion was this luotation used? “Women are, gen erally speaking, . . .” ford debate team. Remember, 1 am not saying a thing. Hero are Mr. Monkhouse’s rules, which I take , from the New Student: “The greatest service which the ! ivorage alumnus can do his Alma Mater is to pay up without asking. “ hi very four years or so, the cam ms changes completely, in popula tion, tradition, sentiment, and mood. Therefore nobody understands his successors. “Revisiting the haunts of youth uul especially pulling strings there, s a delightful pastime; but no one lias a right to complain if he gets t\is fingers burnt. “People will learn more from their awn mistakes than they will from >urs. i' •'All reminiscent persons are ut terly ridiculous. “The only sound principle for al- ! mini is taxation without representa ion. If your Alma Mater is worth tnything she will call for your love, .our money, and your service; and live you absolutely nothing in re urn.” 1 join Mr. Monkhouse in his final emark: “It should be understood that I write as an alumnus.” SOL ABRAMSON, ’27. 3. How should the above question be finished? 4. Supply the missing words in these familiar quotations: “W,ar Is-“It’s-to be poor.” 5. Finish this one: “She laughed as though . . Of course we know that Kewp Dahl’s letters are wonderful and all that, but we wonder if they’re worth a tumble in the muddy Phi Delt alley. Jane Cochrane takes it a, little slower now, even though she sees the mail man coming up the Phi Omega sidewalk. The blond senior with the coffee stained mustache thinks the Uni versity is going to rack and ruin: the mill race so dry, the cemetery so wet, fewer and less serenades, and butter-horns not what they used to be. “NOW I’M TILLIN’ YA,” SAID THE PARMER AS HE STARTED DOWN THE FIELD WITH THE PLOW, “I’M TILLIN’ YA.” Library Receives New Fiction and Histories “Growth,” by Booth Tarkington, is one of the outstanding books just received by the main library. This is really three novels in one, for it contains three parts of a single study—-that of growth. The first section is “Turmoil,” the second “The Magnificent Ambersons,” and the third, “The Midlanders.” Other interesting new books are: “Red Sky at Morning,” by Mar garet Kennedy, who also wrote “The Constant Nymph”; “Caroling Dusk,” an anthology of verse by negro poets; “China and the Pow ers,” by Henry Kittredge Norton; “Philosophy of the Recent Past,” by Ralph Barton Perry, professor of philosophy at Harvard Univer sity; “French Poetry and Modern Industry (1830-1870),” by Elliott M. Grant. “Jesus” is written by the author of “Under Fire,” Henri Barbusse. In writing the book Barbusse says: “I too have seen Jesus. He re vealed Himself to me in the beauty of precision. I love Him. I hold Him to my heart, and I will cham pion Him against others if need be.” Five new books have been added to the library’s series, “The His tory of Civilization,” which is edited by C. K. Ogden. They are: “Mesopotamia,” by L. Delaporte, late attache to the National Museum of France; “Ancient Persian and Iranian Civilization,” by Clement Huart, member of the French Insti tute; “Primitive Italy, the Begin ning of Roman Imperialism,” by Leon Home, profesgor in the Uni versity of Lyon; “Art in Greece,” by A. DeRidder and W. Deonna; and “Ancient Rome at Work,” by Paul Louis. Renown of Debaters Spreads to Florida Dean Gilbert has received a letter from Ephraim D. Conway (Oregon 1925) who is now located in Jack sonville, Florida, and is in charge of credits and collections for the Hutchinson Shoe Company, whole sale distributors of shoes and hats. Mr. Conway enclosed a clipping from the first page of the Sunday edition of the Florida Times-Union of Jacksonville, Florida, showing a picture of the three Oregon debat ers, Avery Thompson, Jack Hemp stead, and Benoit McCroskey. Over the picture of those three world tour debaters is the caption; ‘They’ll talk their way around tho world.” Mr. Conway says, “I was certain ly very much pleased to see it on the front page of our Sunday paper.” SVebfooters To Play In Golf Tourney Three University of Oregon golf ?rs will go to I’ortland this week to “liter in the first Oregon state open ournament which will begin tomor ow.

Diana is experiencing discomforts of de tours but is on her way to an appropriate spot on the New York University Campus. Illustration shows Diana about to step off on her way to college—in splendid physical condition and destined to rank high among the college immortals. The old Otis Elevator that bore many famous people to the White Studio in the * Tower has been junked. The New York Life Insurance Company is erecting a huge office building on the site of Madison Square Garden, as shown above. The elevator equipment of the new build ing for the New York Life Insurance Com pany, Cass Gilbert, Architect, consists of 33 Otis Automatic Signal Control Elevators, operating at high speed, and equipped with the Micro-Drive or self-leveling feature; in addition to some few smaller and less impor tant machines. Signal Control is automatic and the ele vators are operated by pressure of buttons in the car or on the floors, all stopping and starting of the car being done auto matically and in response to the calls registered on the controller by the pressing of such buttons.
