What’s The Score,
Oregon Rooters?
Had one of our doubt in*' alumni wandered aimlessly into
McArthur court Thursday morning during the pep rally lie
would not have recognized the 'supposedly deceased spirit of
his Alma Mater. Undoubtedly he would have thought himself
within the ranks of the enemy and would require a second
look at the Old Pioneer to convince himself lie was on sacred
ground.
If Oregon’s spirit has died a natural death in the past
year or two, it certainly took a turn in its grave yesterday.
Leather lungs, vehement enthusiasm and feminine applause
were all on the scene and hitting on all cylinders. Even the
lurking suspicion that Oregon might have an inferior team to
the highly-touted Stanfordites did not seem to dampen the
eagerness of the assembled mob. In short, the situation closely
resembled one of those demonstrations we have heard associated
with Oregon fight since the youthful days when we first de
cided to attend this institution.
Let us analyize the startling accusations which alumni are
continually hurling us and see if there are any grounds for
their veracity. For three years a victory in football has been
a rare but greatly appreciated event here. Whatever pitch of
enthusiasm the student body has been keyed up to at the be
ginning of the season is given plenty of chance to die down
before the finish, ({rumblings and misgivings about the future
and perhaps the coach are all you can hear when the last game
goes down in history. When the next season rolls around the
spirit has had some chance to recuperate and the start is as
impetuous as ever.
Now we are. about to begin all over again. On paper Oregon
appears to have the best team it has had for several years.
In spite of this encouraging information, we are going into
the game Saturday against one of the strongest, teams in the
conference and as usual we are' rated the underdogs. But
ratings are always inconsistent and don’t amount to much when
two teams as nearly equal as Stanford and Oregon meet on the
homofield with !1(K)0 loyal students shouting for victory. When
the students learn to back our team until the final whistle
dias sounded, alumni will lose their cause to throw epitaphs
at our spirit.

What's the Camyfis Verdict,
Open or Closed Tlouse? >
Kumor is sonit'llimg that is not to ho kept down. It is
always with ns. Tlio University of Oregon has been in session
searee one short week and 1 jo ! Humor. Of what'/ That there
is a feeling against open house. There is something familiar
about that rumor, like a bird of passage, dropping off for a
week or two oarh year and even now it is on the doorstep.
Those who oppose the institution elaim that it is no longer
practical, that it was born when the school was small and that
men did not necessarily have to In- cross country timber to
make the rounds. Today the sehool is so large mid the itinerary
so long that casualties are liable to result if the function con
tinues. Those who favor it make many claims among which
the most important is that it serves to democratize and in gen
eral make the campus better acquainted with itself. Both are
good arguments and are by no means the only ones.
If the institution is to he done away with the anti-Open
llouseists might better plan their campaigning for the day
following rather than the week preceding the affair. However,
the communication columns of the Kmerald are open to all who
wish to voice their opinions in the controversy.

Country Editor Analyzes News
Content in Weekly 'Critter9
By BEATRICE BENNETT ;
A big cigar—
Blue smoke—
Big feet I
On a desk—
A bald head
Seen over
A large newspaper—
No, it is wot a poean in free verse.
I was just attempting to draw a
picture of Mr. Jones, the editor of
a six-page country weekly as he
looked when I -recently -approached
him with queries as to his news pol
icy. lie lowered his paper and
grinned, for we are very good
friends.
“My news policy?” he said in a
questioning voice. “Well, here’s the
latest copy of the Critter (which is
short for Criterion.) Take a look at
it.” He handed me the paper.
“What do you usually read first?”
he askod without further words.
“The locals,” I answered, truth
fully.
“That answers your question,” he
exclaimed. “The average person
does read the locals first, so I make
a specialty of them. My news policy
is based 'on names. I calculate to
mention the name of every single
solitary person in this town and
withi ten miles of here at least onco
a year. It takes a lot of work, but
I figure that the more names, the
more subscriptions and the more ad
vertising. It’s a good idea to know
how to spell those names correctly.
Last week a woman dfopped her
subscription because I spelled her
name, which was Smythe, in the
ordinary way—Smith.”
Society Held Important
“What do you read next?” Mr.
Jones asked.
“The society section,” I answered.
“Yes, that’s another place where
names are featured. It’s the weakest
spot in the Critter just at present
because I have a society editor with
a tendency towards superlatives; but
she'll get over it, I think.”
At this point Reverend Mr. Trites
of the Methodist church entered.
After an exchange of civilities he
handed Mr. Jones a lengthy write
up. “Could you put this on the front
[page? It is about the supper at the
church tomorrow. I would appreciate
it very much.”
Mr. Jones glanced over the article.
“I will have to charge you a dollar
and a half for it, Mr. Trites, ” ho
said. “This is an advertisement. It
is the policy of our paper to charge
that amount for any advance notices
of banquets, entertainments, etc.,

that have as their object to persuade
people to come.”
Rev. Mr. Trites seemed to be very
!angry> and a long argument ensued,
but he at last paid the required
amount.
“That’s the hardest part of this
.paper’s policy to enforce,” Mr. Jones
said after the minister had left.
“Everyone seems to think that be
cause the money is being made for
a good cause, I should give them free
aclvez&aiHgv I .«4ui,’t..convince them
that if I give free advertising to
one, I have to give it to all and that
i I’d go broke then.
The Anonymous Critic
“Next to the people that want free
advertisements, I dislike the ones
that want me to rake someone else
over the coals. Usually it’s the
mayor, the council, the police, or the
superintendent of schools that have
incurred tho enmity of a citizen,
usually in the performance of a dis
agreeable duty. If I ask the in
| dividual to assume responsibility
for tho statements and sign the
article, the chances are ho will be
indignant. He doesn’t want his
name dragged into the pow wow.
He wants to sit in the background
and watch tho paper roast tho of
fending official.”
At this point the editor was called
away and I rvas left with the “Cri
terion,” which I proceeded to road.
I noticed that it carried only local
news with the exception of onp col
umn of brief state news-items. This
was evidently a compromise between
having all local news and running
state and national nows in conjunc
: tion with local news.
Then there were several columns
of news from small localities within
I a ten or fifteen mile radius of the
town. Here again there were names
and names. “Mr. and Mrs. J. A.
Brown and sons, George, Henry, and
Alfred, had dinner Sunday at the
home of F. A. Fischer.” There wore
just enough verbs, adjectives, and
prepositions to connect the proper
nouns.
Another section was headlined
“Hi-Life.” It was a column of school
news written by English classes of
the high school. There .were the
names of the basctball players, the
names of the cast in the senior play,
the names of those on the honor roll
for the term, etc.
Front Page for Men
Then, of course, there was the
front page. I have heard it said
that the front page is designed for
the men and the insido pages for

The first social swim is scheduled
for tonight in the pool in the

the women. “The (Criterion” helps to
prove this theory, for all of the head
lined news items of the front page
dealt with business matters.
Again there were' many names,
] this time of the business men, and
farmers.' Several were quoted on
j various questions. I could imagine
j how gratifying it must be to those
men to see the words they had spok
en printed so that everyone could
read them.
I glanced through the paper again,
rapidly analyzing each of the six
pages. The conclusion that I drew
therefrom was simple—names should
form the basis for the news policy of
the country weekly.

Dares Fate
for Favorite

Gentlemen:
I have a mania for crawling through
a number of unexplored caverns be
tween the towns of Woodstock and
Mt. Jacksonin the Shenandoah Valley.
One cave was exceedingly dangerous
with its tight passages, etc. I spent
three hours in this cavity, groping
blindly with a “dead” flashlight and
a severed guiding string.
To cut my story short, I was finally
rescued by a searching party after a
terrible experience. It was a wonder
ful feeling as I sat at the mouth of the
cavern telling my friends that I would
not go back in there for love nor
money. I meant it—until I reached
for my can of Edgeworth. It wa&gone,
and I recalled dropping something
during the excitement in the cave.
It is queer what a man will do when
his favorite tobacco is concerned. I
realized that without my tobacco it
would be as bad as being lost in tho
cavity—so I crawled back.
It was a grand and glorious feeling
as my hand came in contact with the
Aristocrat of Tobacco.
Yours very truly,
