Eugene authorities ought to he and
must he stopped!
The time lias now come when we,
the students of this University,
should tell these antagonistic forces
where to get off at, and how they
cun do it! A good thing for all those
concerned would be a modified boy
cott of the Eugene merchants and
then the town of Eugene would come
to it’s senses when they realized
tjmt their principal source of reve
nuc which amounts to two, and a
half-million dollars annually, had
hern cut off. They would probably
try to change their antagonistic at
titude for a Jess severe one, which
would 1)0 a good change for all con
cerned. Especially, the GOOD Eu
geni, police force, the best on the
coast. Hurray for Eugene’s cop
pers! Here, hold my sleeve, I want
to laugh!

A Police “ Chopping Block”
To the Editor:
Recent unpleasantnesses resulting
from -police—student controversy,
bring to light the though that there
is a woeful lack of understanding
and a need for closer cooperation
between our city and our University.
Further, it is evident that the po
lice, no doubt, feel that duty
prompts them to perform acts which
the students consider in the light
of infringement on their rights,
customs and privileges.
In regard to the late arrests from
serenading, it would appear further
that the police were a little hasty in
jumping into a miniature “teapot
tempest,” when in reality there was
probably no well founded reason for
so doing, the students being merely
engaged in following out, as it were,
a fifty year old custom—night sere
nading, an intricate part of college
life, and were in no sense concerned
with the -though of giving any one
trouble, nor cause therefor. Their
intentions being merely to enjoy, as
all predecessors had done, a good
wholesome time and at the same time
afford some entertainment for
others,
In regard to the soealled “shadow
dance,” wo arc at a lose, to under
stand just why the police should, in
terfere, even though, as they say,
‘‘-to uphold the law,” as no harm
was resulting, the party being ably
chaperoned and -well cared for,
which statements from some of our
very best citizens will verify.
As to upholding the law, we all
should say “Amen” to that, but why
single out the students and the Uni
versity as chopping blocks, when we
feed that far greater violations -than
(lie ‘‘shadow dance,” arc allowed to
escape entry upon the police blotter,
which if reported and properly acted

I upon, doubtless would result in the
°
correction of many irregularities
which in reaiity are public menaces.
I' urtlier, it would appear that it is
the desire of some, who have to do
with law enforcement, to make a
bewhiskered goat of the University
whenever an occasion presents,
I thereby placing the‘state, county
and immediate community at a great
disadvantage.
In the matter of -arresting the
screnaders, which act still creates a
stench in the nostrils#of the com
munity, Eugene was the brunt of
much unfavorable comment and
gained for herself a not too desirable
reputation, as the news went broad
cast, and many were the comments
wo heard from the commercial men
visiting,here, they they having heard
the unpleasantness discussed in
cities of Oregon, Washington and
California, and almost without ex
ception, the student was upheld and
the authorities were criticized as be
ing of the “light weight” order . . .
What wo want, is not petty bick
ering with trivial matters, but a,
closer, clearer, better and altogether
congenial relationship between all
which is implied in the term, “Uni
versity” and our city. Then, and
not until then, can it be fully said
ijuit Eugene is for the University
and that the University stands for
Eugene as well ns for Oregon.
■A BUSINESS MAN.
Homecoming, Play-by-Play
To the Editor:
We climbed into the family fliv
ver and drove six hundred miles to
Eugene. We went to see a football
game. We arrived at 5:00 p. in.,
Thursday, October 10. We drove
out to the A. T. O. house atid had
dinner with the boys. AVe then sat
around the fireplace and peddled
the old line until 7:30. AVe rode
down town to the rally. Saw a
bunch of the boys, mostly frosli,
parading down Willamette street.
Wo couldn’t make heads or tails of
this parade. The boys should learn
to serpentine. Wo had a narrow
escape from being run over by a
traction engine or maybe it was a
steam engine. Anyway the boys
were depending lipon a lot of arti
ficial noise for the parade. After
this we couldn’t hear anything, so
didn’t go over to the Armory to,
hear the rest of the show.
Wo went homo and talked over
old times and went to bed. We got
up early and took in the campus and
visited Dr. Straub and had an en
joyable time until time for the
game. AVc were there when it start
ed and there when it ended, and
that is enough space for the game.
We went home very much wrought
up over the outcome of the game.
Wc still have a little of the Old
Oregon spirit left after being out of
school nine years. Wc couldn’t find
any sympathy around the house. Wc
think the famous Oregon Spirit, lias
departed and perhaps lias landed in
Corvallis. We don’t know. Wo
didn’t see any in Eugene.
AVc think the football team will (
be better in a year or two. A\rc hope
so. AVc have a largo collection of
coaches and an army of substitutes !
on the bench. We believe the coach :
should buy a tackling dummy and i
introduce the boys to it. AVc think
that’s about enough of the team.:
We missed the big dance Friday
night, due to a lot of unfinished
business around the house and other j
places too numerous to mention.
After not sleeping a wink, not
having gone to bed, we got out our
trusty car and headed for Corvallis,
where we watched the freshman;
team do their stuff. It was good.
Wo are strong for the freshman |
team, especially the quarterback, j
We then filled the tank with gas,
and took the long road home, ar-;

alumni and parents in the matter
of grades, which they ought to
know about, I would not be in favor
of abolishing the sheet.”
■ F. G. Young, dean of the school
of sociology, Said on flic question,
‘‘I think it would be just 'as well
to have the scandal sheet abolished.
It has not succeeded in its original
plan, which was to get student rec
ords into the press. I don’t know
as to its influence in stimulating
the right sort of motives for study,
but I suspect these motives would
not bear too close scrutiny.”
Walter Barnest, professor of his
tory, said in response to questions,
“1 think there is too much emphasis
entirely on grades on the campus.
The scandal sheet itself is not the
cause of it, for I think the rivalry
between houses causes more of that
than the scandal sheet. The first
thing to do is to abolish house com
petition. Another thing that might
bo tried is to leave out junior and
senior students’ grades. If these
plans don’t decrease the interest in
grades for grades’ sake I would bo
iu favor of abolishing the scandal
sheet.”
