No Soap! Encouraged by the support tlie student hod.v is showing j for our editorial campaign for improved soap conditions in the i men’s gym the Emerald is prepared to carry the war for soap to its “bitter end,” as one of our cummunicants in this morn- J ing's paper suggests. Another student writes that we have j “voiced a sentiment . . . felt for years” and that “It is a) crying shame that sueh a condition be permitted to exist in this harbor of advanced thought.” In a more fervent, vein another closes his remarks with “Here’s for more and better soa p! ’ ’ Proud to have struck a responsive chord, to have uncovered an opportunity to he of real service, we bear the standard for ward in the mighty crusade to down the anti-soapists. Hut not locally has our shaft drawn comment. The seerc tary of Public Health, with offices at Washington, 1). sent the following message: Dear Editor: 1 am amazed that the conditions you have bared to i public scrutiny exist. That a university, the torch bearer of civilization, should countenance such backwardness comes as a shock. 1 aim sending a committee to probe the case immediately. Under separate cover 1 am mailing you a bar of Ivory soap. (It floats.) Very truly yours, .John W. Kniit h. And from far-off South America, aboard the Hoover good will ship, comes this little note: At Sea, December 8, 19L!8. Dear Editor: As soon as 1 a,in inaugurated I shall have the Senate appoint an investigating committee to help you in your crusade for more soap. Meanwhile keep fighting. When I was at Stanford we had the same trouble. Thanks for your assistance in my campaign. 1 feel that without the support of your powerful organ 1 could never liaVe been elected. And now I shall repay your'ef forts with soap. Your friend, Herb. Backed by these nationally known figures the Emerald ventures a prophecy soap is forthcoming. The little group of valiant Physical Educators who have held out for years against all comers will be forced to surrender under I lit' glaring light of publicity. It must he soap, soap be it. H. 11. Future Problems ISo Greater Than Those of Today Most of us tiro constantU got tiny; into dit'fioultios of one sort or another, and golfing over them more or less suecessfullv. Some of the difficulties that meet us pass over and leave coin ; paratively little trace behind them. Others are not so kind, and leave their mark permanently engraved on that suboonseious memory which rises from the background like a; sept re to make us pause on the Ihreshhohl of new attempts. Often they act as friendly warnings. More often the experiences that we have and the difficulties we have to overcome go to the making of a larger and fuller self which can face the world and its vicis- j situdes with the confidence of maturity. It is a common thing for the older people to trodt lightly the troubles of young people. But they forget that it is not the si/.e of the problem that counts, but the knowledge of the, right way to overcome it that decides whether it will become a real worry or not. The problem of deciding a question of state, if the experience of the statesman is broad enough, takes no more effort than the deciding of a problem of organization ; by an officer of some campus society if that problem presents; some new features that lie has not previously met. When youth becomes older it does not usually find the problems to be ; greater than those now being met. Barger they may lie, and more max hang on his solution, but iutrinsicalB they are no more difficult. In meeting some of the problems tin'll confront us. some ! times we are tempted to let the thing slide, and “Bet it solve itself" is a common solution tha< often fails to solve the prob loin. Probably in a good many cases the thing is not serious enough to plav much of a part in creating trouble if it is left, but the failure to meet the difficulty is .seriousness enough in all truth It is a failure that will probably lead to other failures, and in later life will be a)\ open pit of inexperience that will be the cause ol failure in main an undertaking Met I ill Daily. 1 4 AMIUS ^'v' ® r©RLMV I nuiv , To tin1 Editor: 1 atu liouitilv hchhul vou in your attack on the wwpleos situation in Ilir mt'ii \s |‘li\ sifn 1 odut.it ion tic I hi it incut.

Fifteen Years Ago From Oregon Emerald, December 11, lfJld Interclass basketball games start next week, and the series will be completed before Christmas. As a result of the Alma Mater song contest, which closed last night, the judging committee has 12 songs from which to select. The new swimming tank in the gymnasium has been completed, and Oregon is thus afforded an oppor tunity to compete with other schools in water athletics, if the students care to take advantage of it. Twenty-five Years Ago From Oregon Weekly, December 11, 1902 Representatives of the extremely numerous and cocky sophomore class were defeated o to 0 by the rest of the university in a football game Saturday afternoon. “l’it” was the game of the eve ning at a reception given by Prof, and Mrs. ('.

Three days a week 1 buy my bread and butter with westerns and fillers- I'm under contract with a pulp paper right uow—and the rest of the week I do the thing 1 really want to do.” The stamp of a sailor is not on this energetic, smiling person. That he has weathered shipwrecks, rode days on end of churning sea, and , traveled uncounted miles about the world doing a bit of everything, is i evidenced in nothing but a slight ^ accent in his ready speech, which marks him as an Englishman. "The first thing l ever wrote and sold, will ever be a mystery to me. It was bad- very bad.
