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,

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* ‘

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.

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.
