Oregon, Ore
gon had tied the
score in the ninth
inning when Edwards walked, wont,
to second on Epps’ sacrifice bunt,
took third while Olinger was being
thrown out, and stole home while
Jones was winding up.
But Edwards couldn’t win the
game by himself. In the Cougar
half of the inning Jones dribbled
an infield hit and reached second
on a fielder’s choice. Kelson
caught* a high foul over first and
threw to nab .Tones at third. Oling
er let the ball go through him and
MacDonald also fumbled it, allow
ing Herr Jones to score. Fuller
started for Oregon in the box and
pitched nice ball until Dijulio and
F. . Mitchell lit on him for homers
in the sixth. #
Bloom Pitches
Bloom took the job over for an
inning and gave way to Pinch Hit
ter Gould, who was struck out.
MacDonald jgot into the game
long enough to be charged with the
loss.
The only bright light for Ore
gon supporters, if any, were Ed
wards’ steni of home, Hidings’ two
singles and a double, and some nifty
catching by that gent of foul*balls
and wild throws.
Aside from this nothing happened
here in Pullman today except the
sun came up and went down. Ore

The biggest item in the Junior

Vodvil did not bring in quite as
large returns as was expected, but
was yet a profitable venture. The

Collegiate Chaff : : By Ron Huhbs
Editorial Comment on This and That
Now that tho political tom-toms
have outworn their usefulness for at
least another year, it is safe to ven
ture a criticism on the class elec
tions. The composition of the elec
torate of each class was determined
by credit hours in place of the old
system of retaining class year
'throughout the student’s university
career. It ps a rather unfortunate
change. Juniors, for example, cast
their ballets for sophomore and
even freshman class offices; for in
dividuals they scarcely knew and
class offices they can’t be more
than passively interested in.
* * *
Using hours to determine class
identity produces other confusing
situations. Each class has certain
functions and affairs which are pe
culiar to that class alone. If a
student served on the Junior Week
end committee, thou failed to secure
sufficient hours to elevate himself
to a senior, he would find himself
practically ineligible for class ac
tivitv. Then again if a (“lass as
sessed a tax on its members, many
of those who assisted in imposing
the tax would escape payment on
a lower class rating. We associate
certain individuals with each class,
and if for no more than sentimental
reasons, students desire to consis
tently belong to their entering class.
* * *
We notice with interest a move
ment started by the house mana
ger’s asociation to have a class
j taught in the university on house
i management. The investment and
expenditure in maintaining living
organizations amounts to several
hundred thousand dollars. Such a
■ move is to be complimented not only
I for its economic desirability, but
as an additional illustration of the
j application of business principles to
student undertakings. The school of
business administration can perform
a real service to living organizations
if they can find it possible to co
operate with the house managers.
Juan Centeno Finds Oregon Very
Different From Spanish Universities
Freedom in Home School
Has Its Flaws; Campus
Much Lacking
To receive l>y an upperclassman
upbraiding and tlion while en route
to a mid-afternoon elnss, to drop
in Sen or .Tuan Centeno’s offiee in
Oregon and hear him tell of Spanish
universities would make any under
classman ready to raise whoopee.
“You students here can hardly
imagine the complete freedom in a
Spanish university; it is so very, j
very different from yours. There j
are no living organizations such as
your dormitories or fraternities and ,
so no rules as to getting in at 10:H0 j
or 12:15; no deans of men and .
women to make regulations; no af
ternoon classes; no mid-term exam-,
illations; no -distinctions between
classes; no traditional dress such aSj
the little caps the freshmen wear j
lioro. The students live in boarding
houses or, it' they are ricdi enough,
in the hotel. They attend classes
all morning, starting at 8:00, and
then at 2:00 a group of 10 or la
friends meet at the cafe where they
sit at their regular table to drink
coffee, smoke, talk, and play cards
for an hour or so. Some play bil
liards, soccer, or tennis in the after
noon while others spend a few hours
studying. Then all go to the prom
enade to walk up and down there
for Another hour until dinner at
7:00.”
This leisurely program indepen
dent of any university jurisdiction
lias its flaws, however, which the
reader should know before packing
his bags for sunny Spain. Imagine
a university without a campus.

City Fire Department
The Alpha Delta Pi house rated
the Eugene fire department yester
day afternoon when the water heat
er in the basement fell down, caus
ing the house to be filled with its
smoke. One brave girl t’i light her
way through the clouds of smoke in
the basement to discover the cause
of the trouble and then took sev
eral others down to look it over.
They decided that it locked sus
piciously like a fire so the fire de
partment was called.
The following conversation en
sued:'
Fireman—Eugene Fire Depart
ment.
A. D. P.—Please send someone out
to the A. D. I’, house, 849 East 11,
right away.
Fireman—Have you a flue fire
or something?
A. D. P.—No. The stove has fall
en down and it’s snicking.
Fireman—We don’t fix stoves.
A. D. P.—I know you don’t.
Fireman1—If you have a fire we’ll
come and put it out.
A. D. P.—rlt isn’t on fire yet, but
there’s danger of fire.
Fireman—All right, we’ll come.
And so they came, saw, and con
quered.
