Day Editor This Issue—Frances Cherry Night Editor This Issue—Ralph David Assistant Night Editors— Harold Bailey SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 1928 i Something Scented Behind the Scenes fTWIKRK uppoars to be at least our A \viio lias a bone to )>ic-k with the initiators of the Dud's Day festivi ties sein'd tiled for next Saturday. Between the lines of the simple in vitation to (he parents, he perceives ulterior motives lurking:. Nothing call touch the Knierald's heart like the spectacle of disillus ioned youth. We are sorely tempt ed to utter snuffling euphemisms in an attempt to restore alma mater to her rightful place in his affections. .Hut in order to assist his speedy adjustment to the practical pro cedures of a democratic university, we will grit our teeth bravely and tell the truth. It may hurt a little but it’s all for the best! And some times one must be brutal. Our congratulations to I,. I). Mis conimunicatioif is proof positive of a thought process. We cherish it for its rareness. And if L. I). tapped out his views with strokes too florid, we can see clearly that it was because be considers his father affronted by the jjhiivorsit v's simulation of cordiality, which lie eannily attributes to its self-inter est. But I;. I>. wrote too horridly to be thoroughly fair. The t'niversity bids for more than financial sup pert, though we all know well its med.T'in that respect. It requires, to be at its best, the good graces ot the whole state which it endcav i rs to serve. Kor in this way only tan its work become generally cur rent. tiranlitig that Dad's Day is pure Iv politically and financially ac tuated- which *s a bit too strong, we think is it justified’ Or is the hyproerisy stigma too malignant to be counteracted by the obvious ben efits of the mingling of students and fathers? We doubt it. Hat her, v\'e should raise the ob jection that il adds just another ring to the riieus which the cam pus program can ill afford. One more distraction to the business of the t’niversity in mid term is a vulnerable breach to tempt some fathers whose critical faculties sur vivo the flattery of an invitation. It's hard to say, unreservedly, but it appears probable that in this case, the good may outweigh the bad features. Barents will not in terest themselves without ballvhoo ir tlic affairs of their youngsters. ! Ho it’s ballyhoo with sugar on it | with which they’s being baited. And again, we eoiumeiul L. I). on his J powers of jienetration. Wherein the Dodo Plays a Part Til JO alisent - minded p r o feasor, says I’resident Max Mason of Chicago university, is as extinct as j tin1 dodo, Hindi a statement, email- j ating from one who doubtless is a j high authority on the subject is most emphatic. The dodo, one must re in ember-, is definitely extinct. II is so extinct that even the dictionaries take cog nizance of the fact. Ho many ages! have followed ages gone on before since th<> time when the dodo bird I lapped his way about our ancient planet that it is only by the wildest ; flight of the imagination that one imi rouse into being a conception of the noises uttered by the historic ! bird. What was there about this crea ture of another time which so la-j belod it as to become the subject of innumerable jesfsj What is itlio loosen that the one-time bird is now popularly associated with the crea ture of the imagination, the whif tenpoof? Was it an unconscious down among the leathered flocks?! Think how fitting it is that the I dodo and the absent-minded profes sor be associated with each other. I’erhaps the poor dodo was to be pitied; yet we laugh at the mention of the word, even now when its in.nes have long since mingled with the dust. And the equally pitiful j specter of the professor with the I wandering mind still (provokes a kindly feeling of mirth, although it is but a fabled ghost. I’oor absent minded professor! Now, says l)r. Mason, he cannot be distinguished from a lawyer, A banker or a mer chant. The exceptional has become! merged with the common. Hut hark, good people!• Do not | be dismayed. Keen so distinguished a man as President Mason can make mistakes. Tile absent-minded professor is Hot extinct. The l:ui-j versity of Oregon is in possession of one of the species in the person of mi anonymous gentleman who ap peared at a formal reception minus a tie a short two weeks past. Dr. Mason’s contention is faulty. The truth is known. No more need tie said. — W. P. Commun ications Says Dad’s Day Is a Hoax We are now about to celebrate! lli<’ first Dad’s Day ami as this1 great event approaches the writ or wonders just what tin* significance if it is. It ounnot In* because we reall\ want to set' our parents. Be cause the administration lias taken pains to see that the Dads have uiost ot‘ thcii time taken up listen ing to speeches and whatnot. There lore it seems that the dear old alma mater wants something and it is afraid to ask for it out in the open. It wants to get our poor unsuspect ing parents down here on the pro text of being sentimentally fond of them and then preach the needs ot the school t • them. We suspect that what the university ronll.x ! wants is not to .-how them the school and what it can do, but what the! school can *t do and what it could ili if it had the money. <>ui president went through ill* <ast and collected scalps to the to tal of a hundred and thirty thousand' collars w hich went to our medical ] .school. And now he lias come home j to raise the rest from our fond parents. We happen to have a parent of OUr own and after receiving the' president V very tcurful invitiition hr wrote us ii letter. In this letter he congriiluhlted our president ou sueli a elever invitation and ashed us a few ijnestions. Among them «as one in regard to the great liau ijUet. lie wished to know just how niaiiv of the"kill at the feast, when called upon to speak, will really give their honest opinion- on this glorious festival.’ Knowing that we are not alone in our stand, we wish that the powers that he would please explain their elever subterfuge, . u n. Lowering Bars for Real Scholarship Tin* ever growing undercurrent of controversy regarding grades has uuee again bubbled to tin* surface and the Kuierald has cause to find lault with the action taken recently b\ the inter-sorority council or' New ^ ork state t’ollege by which it abol ished scholastic requirements for init ial ions. May >m* suggest that the Kmeiald need not seek at su h a distance for action of this sort. I here are those oil the Oregon cam jus who have seen tit too t'c^l the/ urge to support the contentious0of tin tar ;iwa\ New YorRefs, quite'' litmware that such a proceeding would incur the displeasure of the august Kmeiald. Because the University insists on placing its great emphasis on grades, must Wo follow blindly and carry1 ('lit a similar fallacy in our orgaui* ‘ , ,/ njj/e *r *• • i TfuSEVEN » SEERS SENATOR PILL 1IAS PRE SENTED A RESOLUTION' CALL ING FOR TIIE BROADCASTING OF SPEECHES IN THE U.

D.’S AT GAME TONITE A weird romance of a lower Man hattan Junk shop is to he depicted by Order of the “O” neophytes to night at the game. Joe Standard, who sells silk underwear in a saw mill, falls in love with Henry Neer, daughter of Clare Hartman, the junk dealer. Harry Woods and Ebie McCutch eon are Joe’s bitter rivals and they sneak down to the sawmill where they find Joe and his models, Ed die Kier, Les Johnson and Willis Fletcher, selling underwear. Joe is pushed into a circular saw and then Harry and Ebie return to the junk shop, only to find Henry married to another man. TODAY ’K GEOGRAPHICAL ANSWER “Doesn’t the sun ever shine in Eugene?” “No; it does nothing hut Rainier.” (And her fresh young laughter warmed our hearts.) FALL AND SINCLAIR \ THOUGHT CAPTURED (By Clothes Press) SNOOSE, Minn., Jan. 20.— (Spe cial.)—Two men carrying oil cans and believed to be Fall and Sin clair, rvanted in Washington, D. C., on oil conspiracy charges, are under airost hero today. The two men, in spite of the al most positive identification, deny they are the oil men and claim they are John D. Rockefeller and Henry Ford. Upon word of the capture the town Jail was surrounded by the entire populace of tire town (20 by the 1927 census) who demanded that the prisoners be shown no mercy. « * * Alpha Gamma Delta planned to hold pre-initiation yesterday, but when the time came around they couldn’t find any of the pledges.

TABLE I have a friend from California, but you wouldn’t know it just to talk to him. s'-vi'v srvpc Rapid-Fire Replies To Curious Queries The Inquiring Reporter Asks from Campus folks selected at random, one question each day. Replies are directly quoted. Today’s question: Of what arc you most afraid? Ruth Gregg-, secretary in the school of journalism: “I am more afraid of spiders than T am of mice because of the deadly precision with which they advance upon me.” T3ess Duke, freshman in English; “1 am most afraid of walking across tin street when bicycles are coming. I was hit once by one and I have been afraid of them ever since.” Maxine Bradbury, junior in art: “I am afraid to talk. Words have such a habit of turning on one.” Clial Nooe, junior in journalism: •‘I hate to admit 1 am afraid of anything. I am afraid of women— f mean collectively.” Warren Korstad, junior in biol ogy: ”1 am most afraid of my self. If I don’t watch out I'll pull a boner.” I Lillian Bramhall, sophomore in botany; “I am afraid of the den tist. Wlial I hate worse than any thing is the hypodermic needle.” Maddox (Continued, from page one} l)o an election this year at nil. No body has the slightest notion what I either have to propose concerning ' the continuance of- national prohi bition, foro'rgn policy, tariff reduc tion, farm relief or any of the ma jor problems of national polities. And yet the press carries daily stor ies of the growing popular move ments for their respective supports. Do we consider issues of any sig nificance? No one can tell what the forthcoming campaign will be about, but if it is conducted as party managers have directed pre vious eafnpaigns, there will be a great deal of invective and much high-sounding talk about nothing in particular. It is safe to predict tliaf *to' ^ftsflfc'.eiperieai?’ the platforms of the two parties will be vague, evasive, meaningless, the one indistinguishable from the ( thcr. The party nominees will be perched on top and the people will be allowed to take their choice. And then men wonder why fifty per cent of the world’s largest-scale democracy don’t go to the polls. The only permanently successful device for bringing men to the polls is to appeal lo their self-interest. The tilings to be decided there must ! bo of vital importance to hhem. There is uo value in choosing be-1 tween Democrat and Republican it' , the terms are of no significance. \ Party names must be associated, with principles; issues must be fac-1 ed. What are the issues, you ask? You will find them everywhere about you. Read the newspapers, listen-in on street-coiner conversa tions. What are the people talking about? Prohibition? Nicaragua? Protection for the farmers? All things of political importance, it is true, are not talked about on street corners, but some of them are, and men want to express opinions con cerning these tilings at least. The straightforward meeting of settle is sues is itself indication of nn effort :it political honesty, and that is a g> oil dual.
