Starving Bulgarians
A CAMPAIGN to relieve the unfortunate student,
of the University of Bulgaria, who, in his
search for education, is reduced to the extremities
of sleeping in garrets and living on twenty cents
daily, is soon to be promoted on the University of
Oregon campus, it was tentatively decided at a
meeting of Y. M, C. A. and Y. W. C. A. representa
tives, the class presidents, and other Interested per
sons at the Westminster house yesterday noon.
The Bulgarians, it seems, are in need of a new
dormitory, for which $15,000 is to be raised in the
United States because of tire alleged semi-bank
rupt condition of the Balkan monarchy. A few
weeks ago the senior class of the University, ap
parently partially for the purpose of justifying its
existence, grew philanthropic and contributed $25
to the cause. Yesterday the freshman class pledged
the proceeds from the class dance, and the other
two classes were strongly encouraged to make sub
stantial contributions. It has been suggested by
some that a form of tag day be resorted to in
order to more fully furnish proposed dormitory.
While the Emerald is in sympathy with philan
thropic movements, it nevertheless believes that
the Oregon students should leave room for charity
work on the part of some of the other colleges of
the country. It is to he noted that there are in
the United States approximately 1,000,000 college
students, exclusive of junior colleges and normal
schools. Tlie $15,000 needed, if apportioned among
them, would allow a quota of one and one half cents
per student, or something more than $40 for the
University of Oregon, provided students in junior
colleges and normal schools are restrained from
demonstrating their virtue.
It is the opinion of the Emerald that Oregon
should he generous with philanthropy as well as
witli other things, and should not contribute to the
Bulgarians more than the proportional share. There
are other worthy objects nearer home, such as the
infirmary or the Braille library. And then, in a
month or so, tlie University of Albania might need
e new administration building, or the University of
Montenegro might need a new football stadium.
Boxing Culture
'P'okmai., evening dress was in order at a boxing
■* meet between Western Maryland college and
New York university last week. "This is an effort
to 'tone up’ the occasion and surround the first
intercollegiate boxing meet ever held in Baltimore
with an atmosphere of dignity and sportsmanship
rarely identified with amateur ring activities and
never with professional fighting,” was the explana
tion given.
That last phrase, "never with professional fight
ing,” will no doubt ring harshly in the ears of
Gene (“Twelfth Night") Tunney. If his sporadic
visits with Hugh Walpole and Thornton Wilder, his
lectures on Shakespeare at Yale, and his soiree’s
with G. B. S. were not giving dignity to the pro
fession then all his efforts have been wasted. The
fact is. Tunney gave the fight game plenty of dig
nity. In spite of 1'rimo Camera and Art Shires,
the racket still has the chill of a seminar.
If Western Maryland thinks it can lend tone to
a boxing match by wearing a tuxedo to the ring
side. their efforts are misguided. Once the fights
start, solemn thoughts of Freud and theories of rel
ativity flee and the person inside the boiled shirt
front is just a roughneck again and a sock is a
sock, for a’ that.
History tells that the tuxedo in the eighteenth
century was a garment worn for bowling. If the
eastern college men turn out for a boxing match
in sports clothes, the picture will be all wrong.
Where would tone be then?
“Artificial Silk Undies Enter Another Field"
headline. And the story went on to say that silk
undies lead to world peace. So much artificial silk
is used in making them there is none left over to
make gun cotton, it said. We’re expecting any day
now to read about an "Eat-More-Pineapple" week
which will be expected to seriously hamper Chicago
gangsters.
“Big Sisters” Inactive
DOWN, down, down into the depths of we don’t
know where apparently has passed a seem
ingly well-organized institution known as the Eig
Sisters. Its work was beneficial, it fulfilled a need
in every case where its contacts were successful.
The reason it has failed, if it has, and silence gives
consent, is probably due to the fact that the con
tacts were, in a good many cases, never made.
Freshman women who can give a favorable re
port as to their big sister’s activity are few and
far between. A double opportunity is being lost.
A movement with the ideals for which this organi
zation stands cannot afford to let itself degenerate.
Its life must be steady or its life will not be strong.
Sudden spurts of activity are never as effective as
continuous, consistent work. Lapses are more often
loop holes for ridicule, and such is the status to
which the Big Sister plan is laying itself liable.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt the other day said
the United States needed a national anthem in keep
ing with the Kellogg pact. She wants to cut out
the “bombs bursting in air” stuff and substitute
something “full of brotherly love and buttercups,
and so forth.” What would a national anthem like
that be in keeping with ? Politics in Chicago.
Canadian women are seeking a Department of
Peace to offset the War Department in their par
liament. That would furnish a splendid outlet for
surplus money, having the two departments fight
ing each other, and would furnish interesting intra
mural conflicts.
A rosebud-decked pair of pajamas contains suf
ficient artificial silk to make enough gun cotton
to blow the roof off a building. And we’ve seen
pajamas that were loud enough to be heard a mile
away. Potent things, these pajamas.
Indulging in the “blues” is absolutely immoral,
a Y. W. C. A. worker said the other day. “Blues
belong only to the very young or the unoccupied,”
she declared. Colleges are certainly full of “blue”
people if that's true.
Oregon men are not “culls,” says Dean Biggs.
Would you cull that a humorous remark?

There was once a college student who de
filed his ancestry hy joining, becoming a mem
ber of, affiliating with the HlunU-HlunU fra
ternity.
* * *
His great-grandfather, who back in 1842 was a
charter member of the Dot-Blank-Dashes, turned a
flying back handspring in his grave when he heard
of it. That is to say, the old gentleman was upset.
The Blank-Blanks, you see, aren’t such a
had outfit, hut they think the Hashes are a
hunch of tea sippers and highbrows. While on
the other hand, the Blanks themselves are a
pack of hoodlums and hone crushers.
* # *
Just consider how this state of affairs would
upset the ethereal plane.
» * »
When the wanton young man, who is now
forever stamped as a Blank, goes to meet his
great grundsiro in the awful beyond, a hitter
encounter will unavoidably ensue.
* * *
The great-grandfather will point his finger ac
cusingly:
"You are a Blank, you low ruffian.”
* * *
The accused one will regard the trembling
finger and its owner with that leering conde
scending smile which was embossed on his face
in the Blank initiation. Kven the most inferior
members of the elan have acquired it.
* * *
"And you,” he will reply, "arc a Dash, you hypo
critical old highbrowed blank blank blank.”
We hope the extra blanks will not be confusing.

MORAL: The fine arts building would make

If Anyone Has Had His Feelings
Hurt:
We, Guilfin, would like to take
the stand at this time that this
column is not a vet for any spleen,
injured feelings, personal animos
ity, nor sadistic urgings. Nor is
it written with any view toward
political advantage, nor to even
any of the scores of the numerous
fraternity “battles” that abound
in this our fair land.
This is not a new literary move
ment. We write “One F’ra Pen
ny” because it is fun, and because
it seems to get the back page of
the Emerald read, and if any of
the comments made in our inno
cence hurt feelings, believe us, we
must have been misinterpreted. It
is all in the spirit of good, clean
fun for the kiddies ...
FABLE THE TENTH
They may have been nice boys
when they left home, but col
lege has gone to their heads. As
a matter of fact they’re not
bad-looking, all of them, but
whatever chance they may have
had originally has been smoth
ered under a blanket of “Bah,
Bah.” Wherever you see them
you know them, rough and tough
college boys, something on the
order of the real "hey hey fel
lers from the University.” But
I don’t suppose you can criticize
them for that. There never was
an adolescent mind that didn’t
yearn to emulate the exploits
of the Rover Boys.
In truth, the shaggy house on
the hill boasts of their own little
entourage of Frank Merriwells,
Tom Rovers, and Don Trents. You
hardly ever find them on the hill,
though, gazing at the mugs on the
wall, or the goat's head over the
fireplace. Ordinarily they fre
quent that most holy of holies, the
“Side.” I think they like it there.
They find stimulating companion
ship in the persons of the right
hand back booth feminine delega
tion, and occasionally an honest
knock down and drag out bridge
game. However, since this activ
ity does require some thought, the
qualifying “occasionally'’ is nec
essary.
They go in for legitimate activ
ities, too, in a big way. And
they’re a bit disappointed when
it doesn’t get them anywhere
... It's “college,” you see. Why,
last year they wanted a - to
be student body president, and
instead of being discouraged by
the campus reaction to the idea,
they’re going to try it again.
At least, they’re persistent.
Their stand is a black myster
ious badge that might conceiva
bly stand for a lot of things. May
be it did, once. When you see it
now it suggests things like Wool
worth's, last minute touchdowns,
bath-tub gin, California "men,”
and advanced courses in scientific
pigging, ala’ ——.
Well, three rah's!
FORUM
The editor reserves the right
to withhold from publication
all communications which he
deems are against the best in
terests of the paper, the student
body, or the University.
FBOM AN ALUMNUS
To the Editor:
In view of the recent outbreak
between the University of Oregon
and the Oregon State college, ap
parently brought on because some
students of the University didn’t
approve of a decision given by
the referee. I submit these rules
to the students of the University,
feeling cert a hi that if they are
followed to the letter, there will
be no more trouble between the
two state schools.
1. Be perfectly composed
through the entire period of any
athletic contest between the
school.^. Pretend you are listening
to a debate upon the question,
"Resolved that extraterritorial
rights should be refused foreign
powers in China.”
2. Do not become boisterous or
loud at any time. If you approve
of the manner in which your
players are performing, quietly
say "bravo” or "hurrah.” To talk
in a loud voice oftentimes disturbs
the opponents and gives them in
digestion.
3. Be a good sport at all times.
If the umpire’s decision doesn’t
look right to you, pass the mat
ter up by whispering “Cheerio, old
man,” into his ear. This will put
him in good spirits and he won’t
make the same mistake again.
4. When speaking of the op
ponents, always refer to them as
the "highly esteemed” or "most
honorable.” ^ever use any de
rogative terms.
5. Remember that wherever
you are, the opponents always have
the right of way. Give them your
own seat, hand them the program
and if it is cold, throw a coat over
their shoulders, but never expect
that treatment from them. Al
ways play the part of a servant
and don’t express your own opin
ion on any matter until you have
first received the approval of the
opponent.
These five simple rules will
aid greatly in bringing about
peace between the two institutions
if they are followed by the stu
dents of the University of Ore
gon. It must be understood though
that no effort is to be made to
have the students of the state col
lege follow these rules.
It should be added that any
student of the University who of
fers the slightest objection to any
of these rules shall be punished by
expulsion for the first offense and
death for the second and third of
fenses. For the fourth offense
they are to be punished by com
pulsory attendance at the state
college.

RAZZ BETWEEN HALVES
To the Editor:
Have college students lost their
sense of humor?
Such seems to be the case, judg
ing from the asinine quarrel now
being carried on between the two
universities of Oregon.
Actually, however, how many
individuals are behind the agita
tion to break off relations between
the two colleges? Surely not
more than a dozen cantankerous
ones who are nobly supported by
the “press" of the two institutions.
The more benighted, if possible,
of the two college papejs seems to
be the Barometer with its ranting
and raving about apple cores and
milking camps. Is anyone really
so narrow-minded to take seriously
the charge that an apple core
thrown by some misguided indi
vidual represents the sporting spir
it of the University of Oregon
student body? Has the student
body of O. S. C. become so men
tally warped that it can see no
humor in a milking cap ? Is it
possible that the O. S. C. student
body is so incapable that it can't
prepare an adequate comeback in
a spirit of fun ?
How much better it would be
for the two universities to have a
custom of genial razzing of each
other between quarters, halves, or
innings of major sport games? A
razzing that is clever, fun to
watch, and a stimulous for some
thing more idiotic next time.
Why wouldn't it be possible to
work out something of this pres
ent quarrel that'll be really worth
while in the future ? Get together
in a spirit of understanding to en
joy in each others discomfiture.
