Night Edilom Tliia l«sue-- P.ill Vernon The Science of Harvest Hand Rushing Rush week is a necessary evil. Some fraternities, a few weeks after it’s all over, begin to feel the evil more than the necessity, hut as long as there are fraternities there must he members, and as long as there must he members 1 here must be rushing. Under the system used at Oregon—and, by the way, at a great many other institutions of higher learning—rushing is largely a hit-and-miss proposition. Here’s the way it operates: Some thirty fraternities sit about the campus as a group of hungry harvest hands might sit around a table. The fresh men are brought on. Like a platter of meat or a bowl of spuds they are helpless. The pork chop doesn’t know by whom it would rather be eaten, nor does the average first, year man know, after his first week on the campus, what house, if any, he’d rather join. But there he is. The farm hands see a nicely browned chop and make a lunge at it with their forks The chances are it will stick to the first fork that hits it, irrespective of whether the individual at the other end of the fork is the foreman or a mule skinner If the chop finds it doesn’t care to be eaten by the indi vidual in question, or if the individual finds the chop entirely too fat for his particular taste, it’s just tough on both. The chop either goes through a most unpleasant digestive process or is thrown in the garbage can. Now consider the plight of the freshman. Coming directly from high school, tin1 chances are that he believes at least half of what he hears, which is dangerous in rush week. Some fraternity, for almost any old reason or none at all, seeks to pledge him. According to the rushers the fraternity is the best on the campus, flow does he know that there at least thirty “best” fraternities? How does he know that the grat ifying compliments which are paid him will be turned into commands to bend over for the paddle as soon as he dons a pledge pin. IIe docsn t. On the other hand, how does the fraternity know their pledge is not going to flunk his hours or swipe the house proxy's pel necktie or that it is passing up a future student body president. It doesn t. The worst of us can hide our true natures for a week forgetting the simile and crediting the freshman with having slightly greater mentality than the average pork chop, it is obvious that even those who have been “wised up” by those who have previously gone through the college mill can not form accurate judgment within a few days of any par ticular group of fellows which may be trying to pledge him. The university ruling which requires all freshmen to live either in one of the halls or in a house and which consequently places a premium on pledging tends to cause a man to hesi tate in refusing his first offer for fear that it will be the last. But that is far from all of the factors in the situation. The excessive rushing of the week is costly in a number of ways. Where more than one house has hopes of getting a fullback, dinners and dance dates and automobile rides are not at all uncommon. The new student, dashing from one house to another, misses the spirit of freshman week and the fraternity men who come back a week early miss the extra summer wages which they might have pocketed if rushing were deferred. Tin* logical solution is pledging after the conclusion of ihe first term of school, giving both rushers and rushers a fair chance of hitting their target. Commun ications ' 1 f, Why So Kudo? To tho Kilitor: Arc the students of this t'niver sitv endeavoring to become nation ally uoti'il for their rudeness to poo pie of rcuown who aro so kind as to im-1 mli' us in thoir itinerary? l)o wo wish to frighten away all of the public entertainers who may stop here in llugene? ■ I hope we do not. Hut what ure the Hussion Symphonic singers to think when a performance such as we staged Monday night is brought to their attention.' 1 speak of the gross breach of etiquette tendered to those excellent singers who entertained us at the igloo .Monday. 'file performance had come to ail end, and applause was even greater than it had been for any of the preceding numbers. The majority of the students re mained in their seats, calling for an encore, but a few had begun to leave the igloo. The singers grant ed the encore, waited a moment for the noise of retreating students to subside, and theft began a number. Instead of sitting down where they were, or even standing quietly, 'as any common person with ail ordi uarv sense of consideration would have done, these students who had risen very noisily clattered out of McArthur court, talking and laugh iug and raising a general uproar. This little episode will certainly leave an excellent impression with the members of the choir. Al. kl. Dr. Bossing Speaks At Education Meetings Dr. Nelson D. Dossing, n new mem ber of the education faculty, is to give several addresses before edu cational meetings this week. Wed nesday veiling before the meeting of the Oregon Pre-School and Kin dergarten association at Portland, his address will be "Not Wisely, lint Too Well,” treating the practical aspects of parental love. lie will again address the same body next month on "The Child in an Old Polk's World.” , Friday afternoon at the Dinu county teacher's institute Dr. Dos sing will discuss extra- curricular activities with the high school de ; partment. The same afternoon he will address the assembly on "Our Kducatiou Whither Pound?” I Mete Business Office Opened for Emerald “What's happened to the Kmerald business office?” Dozens of sur prised students asked this question Monday when they called at the small building just north of the journalism shack which has been housing the circulation, advertising and business departments of the Kmerald - ami found a bleak, empty room instead of the usual busy office force. The thing that has "happened" to j the office is that it has been moved to a room on the east side of . Friendly hull, just beyond the of fices of Jack Hcnefiel, graduate manager of the A. S. U. O. The I former quarters are to be utilized 1 by the art department. Doctor Hodge To Reveal Geology Discovery Soon Investigation of Mountain Area Gives New Clues To Interest Engineers Dr. Edwin T. Hodge, professor of geology, will be the principal speak er at the annual state highway en gineers’ convention to be held in Portland Saturday, October 20. This Will be the second time that Pro fessor Hodge lias addressed the high way engineers, having been one of the speakers at their annual meeting two years ago. iioccnt discoveries in the geology of the state of Oregon will be the topic of Dr. Hodge’s address. He will deal particularly with the sub ject of the ancient range of moun tains that existed before the Cas cades, which he has traced from eastern Oregon to the base of the Cascade range. “This ancient range lies under the present Cascade moun tains as an old log half buried in the soil is partly covered by a new log lying athwart it,” Professor Hodge explained. The detailed examination of the Mount Hood area which Professor Hodge made this summer was start ed partly because this ancient moun tain range was found to be project ing towards Mount Hood and the Columbia river. Professor Hodge says that he always suspected that this investigation might give some clue to this hidden mountain range and the hidden wealth it might con tain. The work is half completed but already suffisient evidence has been collected to show that the guess was a happy one. Dr. Hodge was reticent in divulg ing the secrets discovered in the course of the summer, stating that he prefers to make them known through the book which lie' expects to publish following, the completion of the investigation. Hoover or A1 Smith • Miss Julia Burgess, professor of Knglish, would like to vote Novem I her sixth on the five issues which she considers most essential—farm relief, control of water power and other natural resources, relations with European powers, administra tion corruption, and prohibition. Since this is impossible, she will mark the ballot for Hoover because of the prohibition question. “At present there is less danger from the tea-pot than from the bot tle,” she declared. “ [ feel certain that I will have a chance to vote on the questions of corruption and lib eralism again in future elections. “It is not a matter of whether or not prohibition has been successful. I don’t believe that any legislation affecting the personal, private hab its of individuals can be successful until after the generation which enacted the measure has passed away. It is an act comparable with negro emancipation, which took more than one generation to become effect ive.” Taste for liquor, Miss Burgess be lieves, is not a natural, but an arti ficially stimulated desire. In past times it was stimulated by social custom and liquor-dealers; noW it is furthered by the "smart set” ami the attitude of funny papers and humor columns. “Today, liquor is the leading joke of the nation; but I can’t believe that it will continue to be funny forever or that fashion will continue monotonously to In' tin1 same. Society will want a new recreation." Hoover’s failure to speak out eon | corning tho corruption of the nd | ministration and his close connection i with big business disqualify him as a perfect candidate in Miss Burgess’ opinion. ”1 admit the importance of busi ness, but Hoover is apt to see it out of proportion and not be so careful to safeguard the interest of the peo ple as a whole. "1 am not voting on personality," declared Miss Burgess definitely. "1 am surprised at the amount of importance it is having in the elec tion. A1 Smith is a lovable person, but the fact that he has kindly feelings toward must everyone and knows how to express them in col loquial language has no weight what so ever. We elect a man to do, not to talk." Paper Cutter Added Co l niversity Press \ new Sey bold automatic paper cutting machine has been installed at the University Press, according to Robert f. Ball, president. The new cutter is larger than the one it re places and combines modern fea tures which make i: a valuable addi 1 Smith? Hoover? Sunday Movies?

An automatic damp, an automatic, pressure adjustment and a clamp pressure indicator are features of the new machine which has a 44-inch paper capacity where the old one was but 32-ir.ch, Mr. Hall explained. He expressed himself as highly sat isfied with the performance of the cutter. “Increased business at the press has made the addition of the machine necessary,” he said. Husky (Continued from Page One) Tlicir smashing 2b to 0 win over Montana at Seattle last week speaks for itself. j A badly shattered Husky squad, supposedly so when Bagsliaw sound ed the long call for gridiron mates last month, isn’t as young as it seems. Instead the Pup has grown into the bloom of dogdom. And word comes down that its supremacy over the Webfoots hasn’t yet been finished. The big pack is strong and has an inspiring loader in Clarence Dirks, tackle and captain. Also this Husky derby will flash its ball carrying ace, Mr. Charles ] Carroll, known throughout the eoun ! try as “Chuck the conference lead j ing scorer a year ago.” Carroll, a line plunger and passer by trade, is a veteran workman in his pro fession. He will give the new Ore gon linemen a busy afternoon. And j this isn’t taking into consideration his teammates who also help when yardage is necessary. Huskies Are Dark-Horse This Washington team, .rated as a “ dark-horse * a week ago when it barely nosed out Whitman 7 to 0 in a practice game, now is in the championship running. Al though not given much chance for first place, the Husky eleven will not finish in the second division if its present ability grows as may be expected. “Aces” who predict the outcome of games here, have begun to hedge in their opinion of last week in which Oregon was “set-up” as a seven point favorite. The newly developed ability of Washington lias ■caused them plenty hours of worry. Where the Oregonians were easily the accredited victors a week ago, they now are on the list at even I odds. The showing against Willamette, in which Oregon won dS- to (i, still leaves the impression that Captain Me Ewans team has its greatest 1 chance against the Huskies that it has had since the days of 1920. All Portland fans have that “feeling” that Oregon is due this fall. Con fidence in Me K wan’s ability and in (lie men with whom he is mould ing his machine is plentiful here. Portland Eager for Game But followers of Oregon grid his tory do not want .to see the Oregon team come here this week too con fident. Washington, they say, may l>e a flash—but again it may be a football team. Pans are hinting to Me Ewan to “hop up” Oregon for the Husky game and they all know lie will. Everyone in this “boiling pot” sports city is lining up to back Ore gon to the limit to win. And with ■ a howling mob of rabid fans cheer ing them on how will the Webfoots be defeated is the question asked. Fees Payable Today At Cashier's Office Today is the day to pay labora tory and class fees. E. 1’. Lyon, cashier, urges all students to come to the office in the administration building and find out the amount of their bill, whether they think they owe anything or not. Students who do not pay tomor row will have nine days of grace. After that they will be assessed for the first day their fees are overdue, and t'o cents each day thereafter.
