Sins of Their Elders . . .
A YOUNG man sat in the library, his head bent over a dry
^ *■ volume of some social science.
That tlie black type impressions on the pages were uninter
esting could be seen from the far-away look in his eyes and the
glassy fixity with which he let them loll on the pulpwood sheet.
Ahead of him sat a girl, dressed in tlie ordinary clothes
which were a la mode on the campus. Not pretty clothes, but
more in keeping with her plain, unattractive face and physical
bearing.
He saw her through unbiased eyes, merely as one mortal
takes stock of another. What, an odd dress she had on. He
did not like its color nor the way it hung.
And her shoes. Too large. Sizable feet were unattractive
in a small person. To her proportions they were not unwieldy,
he thought.
Her hair, lie noted too, was a plain shade, brown. Nothing
, to write poetry about. In all, she was just another mortal,
imbued with the inalienable right to live. Probably someone’s
sweetheart.
A fraternity brother interrupted "his reveries by slamming
a book on the desk. After a few words, the man with the eyes
asked the newcomer if he was acquainted with the girl ahead.
The one with the brown dress and homely face. Sure, she’s
an Alpha Alpha, he was told.
As if a magical transformation had taken place, the plain
ness of her seemed to disappear. Oh, she’s an Alpha Alpha.
. . . That’s a good house. And with those words al( the stored
np concepts, percepts and other psychic phenomena were called
forth in his mind, to clothe the young woman in a more attrac
tive raiment.
All the past glories of the Alpha Alpha’s came back to help
make her a princess instead of a colorless bit of humanity.
Knowing what house she belonged to put her in a different
light in his eyes, lie looked again. She wasn’t so bad-looking
after all.
Thus do many college students shine with reflected glory.
Thus many “rate” because the house they belong to has had a
number of letternien or good-looking girls the last few years.
Individual merits are submerged under the overpowering
weight of a gold fraternity pin from a house that “rates.”
The college man or woman takes on “color” or personality
in proportion to the excellence of the house to which he or she
belongs. There is a clannishness about it. all. Snobbery, a bit.
The fraternity system fosters an evil against the person
which is unfair and undesirable. When the system provides
fellowship, discipline and a place to .live it is fulfilling the main
part of its duty to the university.
A Plea for Open Football
TJE AVAS a football star, captain of his crow, Phi Beta Kappa,
A prom chairman ami after lie was elected Rhodes scholar
from the University of Wisconsin he suffered a nervous break
down and lias spent nine months in Idaho recuperating so that
lie can go abroad to study.
Jeff Burrus, the man in question, came out. of it all with
the conviction that college athleties used him rather selfishly.
Says an article in The Nation, a magazine known for its abrupt
and downright stands on topics of national interest: “lie be
lieves that tin* exploitation of physically endowed young men
. . . as if they were game fighting cocks or maddened bulls is
something less than one ought to expect at the hands of his
Alma Mater. . . . That modern football was not really an ama
teur sport at all—that it was from the outside a great show by
means of which universities keyed up the loyalty of alumni
associations and impressed the taxpayers; from the inside, a
relentless industry which built commodities of various kinds
upon the blood and sinew and carefully nourished college spirit
of the players.”
If such be the ease, and the recently published Carnegie
Foundation report dealt with the subject of college football in
the light of big business, let the boy who wishes to become a
warrior on the gridiron be paid a high price for his services.
The salaries should be high because of the extraordinary talent
required and the serious risks run.
In addition, colleges should throw the shrouds off the busi
ness of football, pay openly for the services of stars and indulge
in open competitive bidding for the cream of the prep schools.
Reality should characterize the dealings of colleges with the
major sports because these sports are no longer in the realm of
amateurism.

SELLING OF “MUMS”
To the Editor:
One of the most admirable func
tions of the Women's league is
raising funds to bring a foreign
scholar to the University of Ore
gon each year. The funds are
gathered from the Dime Crawl
and sundry concessions connected
With athletic events. One of these
concessions is the sale of chrysan
themums at Homecoming.
The Women’s league, however,
has taken an imperative stand on
the sale of the ’mums. In the
past, various student groups have
shared the privilege with the
league, but for this Homecoming
the women’s organization has de
clared an unfounded ban on com
petition. A group of Oregon ath

mittee, Order of the O.
ietes, all self-supporting, following
the steps of numerous predeces
sors, plan to sell the flowers for
the Homecoming battle with Ore
gon State.
The opposition from the Wom
en’s league is thought by the ath
letes to be out of keeping with
the liberal traditions of the
school. The athletes are against
outside agencies exploiting the
campus, but they believe there is
enough prolit from the sale of
flowers so that both 'the league
and the self-supporting players,
operating independently of each
other, can share equally.
The A. S. U. O. constitution in
cludes a clause prohibiting "pro.
miscuous selling of merchandise"
on university property. The ath
letes propose to confine their ac
tivities off the campus, and will
organize their sale of ’mums di
rectly with the fraternities and
sororities.
The self-supporting athletes who
wish to take advantage of the sale
want no conflict with the Wom
en’s league or the foreign schol
arship, but merely desire an even
break such as has existed in the
past. The boys need the money
and are willing to work as hard
for it to remain in school as the
Women’s league is to bring a for
eign scholar to the campus.
