Day Editor This Issue— lorothy Baker, Night Editor This Issue— J oe Rice Assistant Night Editor-— Wilfred Brown • Charles Barr WEDNESDAY, MAY 9, 1928 Untried Authority Given Expert Guidance /YRDER OP THE O men enfbar rassed the prophets yesterday ; by genially according in a resolution j to make tennis a peer along with j basketball, track, baseball, and even mighty football. The Iqttermon’s generous support gives still more im petus to the movement afoot to do away, as much as can be, with the purely arbitrary discriminations be tween sports. At the polls last week, students) sanctioned the new dispensation by striking the rigid requirements for awards out of the by-laws and placing the student policy govern ing such matters at the discretion of student and executive council mem bers. Today's is the first opportun ity for the new authorities to decide or the admission of a minor sport to first rank. The reception of tennis among the elite of sport society hero has rami fications rooted far from the whim sical distinction which four extra inches of blue worsted fenced in by yellow brings to the wearer. It goes to show that crowned heads in sports ure no diviner than the ones in poli tics; all rise and fall with the popu lar enthusiasm they are able to elicit, no matter how well fixed in tradi tion they may be. Tho Order of the O, in yesterday’s l ow to tennis, foreshadowed the day when the equal hegemony of sports will come to pass. It will not bo next year, nor yet the year after, but tin) most*advanced physical educa tionalists and conches—such men as William J. Reinhart and Delbert Ohgrteuffor of our own department —look forward to an ultimate nor mal relationship between an indivi dual and his peculiar fitness for an activity. They are right. What other crite rion than the skill of a player and the effort ho puts out call be counted in appraising his service to alma mater? For example, can we hold that, because football is spectacular, everyone who lacks the particular coordination which qualifies a star gridster is ruled out of his share ot glcry and physical benefit in sports; The Emerald would be overjoyed tc sec any kind of intercollegiate com cptition—golf to horseshoes -recog nixed with a yellow () just 8x7x1 Vi But in the meantime, a mensurt awaits the action of the new authori ties today. The thinking sponsors ol Oregon athletics, the members of tin Order of the O, and even the studen body, in it tacit way, have ratified the inauguration of tennis as a raa por sport. This makes it easy for the student and executive councils to pass. The Marble Opportunity HE committee on the senior -* clnss memorial has recommend ed that the class use its surplus funds to provide a marble base for a statue of the late 1‘rince L. Oamp During the more than a quarter century that Prince L. Campbell was at the head of the University of Oregon, he performed a great and lasting service to the state of Ore gon and its citizens. It is duo to his industry, his unflagging zeal and devotion to the cause of higher edu cation in Oregon that this university has grown from the status of a fledg ling college to that of a well-estab lished and widely recognized institu tion of merit. It has truly been said oiVPresident Campbell that lie gave his life for the University of Oregon. Faculty I members and the few students still 1 on the campus who heard him speak I in the Woman’s building in May, 192-1, will probably never forget, the I occasion. Only recently out of the hospital and yet feeble from a lin ’ goring illness, ho was assisted to a | large wicker chair near the edge of the stage. Remaining seated and well wrapped in robes, he delivered the address which opened the cam pus drive for the (treater Oregon of his dreams. The effects of the ill ness were apparent in his voice but not in the wording of his plea, j. Brief and clear, Prince L. Campbell 1 made every word count in his last public appearance. Mr. and Mrs. A. Phimistcr Proc ter, long close friends of Mr. Camp bell, are giving the statue, which Hi to stand in the court of the pro posed fine arts museum. Mr. Proc tor, noted sculptor of the Pioneer, of the Circuit Rider, at Salem, ot the equestrian statue of Thjeodorc Roosevelt, in Portland, and main other fine works of art, will himscll execute the work. The class of 192S, the last chtSi to attend the University during President Campbell's lifetime, has : real opportunity to leave behim something of permanence and fitting sentiment, sharing in a spleudii tribute to one whose deeds have left i ai- irrndicable imprint on the Uni . veisity of Oregon. —W.

Today the same practice is observed by the tele phone business; but we call it service. To men in telephone work, ser vice is a matter of looking ahead and preparing ahead—and when a need arises, to be ready. This point of view inspires the research engineer, the supervisor of production, the director of personnel and the executive re sponsible for all these activities and more. With the increasing telephone re quirements of the nation, this is a work of increasing complexity. Through years to come Bell System men will find an even greater oppor tunity of service.
