White Isabel Crowell Michael Hogan Value cf Intellectual Contests TITLE tin- I'niversity of Oregon i’ootlmll team is working TT lined in prepa ml ion Tor its seasonal battles and the basket ball men are looking forward to the opening of their season, another and smaller group of students are in training for a dif ferent sort of a contest, but one really more important to the prestige of the institution a contest of brains. These men are working toward the Rhodes scholarship, for which the first try-outs will be held Saturday. An intellectual contest, such as the men competing for the award will be put through, is lacking in most of the color and suspense of an athletic contest, and yet the results will have more influence on the future welfare of the commonwealth than any football game can ever have. The youths who compete are given an opportunity to develop and show their skill at con centrated study and constructive thought, a skill which will aid them in becoming leaders in the years to come, after their uni versity days are over. All the contestants, the losers as well as the winner, receive this benefit. h’or the winner there is three years of study at Oxford uni versity, where he is given an opportunity to further develop his abilities and broaden his outlook on life through European travel, lie returns to this country with an infinitely better understanding of the peoples of Europe, their philosophies and their problems, and lie, in turn, builds for better relations be tween America and other nations. It is interesting to note that the University of Oregon has not lagged behind in the intellectual contests. During the past six years all the scholars going from this state to Oxford have been Oregon men. This, as much as any other one thing, has increased our prestige among the institutions id' the country, according to l)r. (leorge Rebec, dean of the graduate school, who is in charge of the try-outs. This fact, the dean says, is definite proof that Oregon is “arriving qualitatively.” The Band Goes Talkie A NNOFNFFM KNT in 1 lie* Fmernld of the pinna for synchron ized sound pictures of 1 lit* university band In bo taken on 11)<» campus and displayed in down town 1 heat res proves not only the rapid inareli of progress in science or publicity, but that I lu> reorganization in the hand itself lias brought confi dence in its ability to please. Wasted funds as the talkie-result of a poor subject would not be as disastrous as the adverse publicity and criticism ■which would result with widespread audience of a green and poorly trained group of inslrumeut-wielders who preferred mighty tootin’ to military training. 'With the hand coming into its own, it will find itself more and more accorded the respect due maturity. Maturity finds power in itself: disclaims such hoaxes as silent pictures and simultaneous Sousa records. Wc are waiting for the opportun ity to see the sound truck parked bv the band; but more and more are we waiting for the worthy band itself. We have confidence. Fall term rains make us wonder what will be the style in slicker decorations. Geology department heads explain finding of fossil shells in strata excavated for new Fine Arts building. Wonder if they puzzled over the saw-dust from the old Kincaid field. Campus Forum Dear Editor: Having read the letter-to-the editor in yesterday morning’s Em erald, in which one N. S. N. tears his hair over Ron Hubbs' “This ’n That" column, allow me to assure you that the majority here on the campus does not favor the imme diate expulsion of Mr. Hubbs from the Emerald staff. That N. S. N. should have read anything but the customary ballyhoo concern ing Lindbergh is unfortunate. Still, it occurs to me that the opinions which Mr. Hubbs so ably express ed are honest opinions, shared by many others, and as such, tieserv ing of consideration rather than blind persecution. I. too, am a Lindbergh enthus iast. I admire him as a man and ns a flyer. I should like to admire him as a scholar. No doubt N. S. N. has pasted on his walls pictures of Lindbergh taking off for Paris, Lindbergh and the Spirit of St. Louis, Lindbergh over Our Na tion’s Capitol, and Mr. and Mrs. Lindbergh in Mexico City. If N. S. N. is a fan or this sort of thing, that is all right with us. Man has been made to worship. But mere ly because someone differs from the worshipper in a point of view is no reason why that person. should be drawn and quartered and I burned at the stake. The public will always have its gods. One sheep will jump over the fence and the rest will follow. Occasionally one will get out of line and express a contrary opin ion. Then the mob will turn on ; him and want his heart cut out. As editor of the Emerald, you can see the disadvantage of start- ' ing that sort of thing. Who knows? Some day you might say something against Clara Bow or John Gilbert or Babe Ruth? Then, in order to be perfectly fair, you would have to resign. Let's not be silly about these things. —R. C. \/:r MATHEMATICAL DEVICE IIS LIBRARY One of the latest developments in the field of mathematics was exhibited yesterday at the univer sity library in the form of a group of stenciled and numbered sheets fitted into a specially constructed container. The device, according to library attendants, is to be used for finding factors of num bers which lie beyond the range of existing factor tables.

BACK SEAT HOLLERS To the Editor: Every fall term when I go to class the professor in charge of that particular one makes out an alphabetical list of his students, and after a few days reseats everyone, with the z’s in the back of the room. Since my name starts with “S” I always draw a back-seat assign ment and with great gnashing of teeth get shunted behind a moun tainous football player and his playmate. I usually can’t even see the professor and his voice sounds somewhat distant. So now after all these years I am a mortal enemy of the alpha betical professor. I can't pay at tention unless I can sit up in front, while there are probably many in front to whom it makes no difference. L. A.
