Spears to Portland by the Spears Civic reception committee and the University of Oregon will be ably represented by President Arnold Bennett Hall, Virgil D. Earl, Dean John Bovard, Tom Stoddard, George Godfrey, and Doc Robnett. The University band and the men’s glee club are scheduled to assist in the reception. Dr. Spears will arrive in Portland- at 10 o'clock Friday morning from Minneapolis and he will be met at the station by the Portland reception com mittee, headed by Edgar Smith. The Oregon com mittee, along with Governor Norblad and other notables, will also be present that is the officials will be present. The Oregon band and quartet will leave Eugene about 9 o’clock Friday morning by bus and are not scheduled to arrive in Portland until the middle of the afternoon. The band is to parade through the streets to show the people of Portland that it is on hand to greet Dr. Spears. We wonder What the new Oregon football coach will think when he hears the Oregon band come booming into town, more than four hours after his arrival after his long journey from the middle west. Not much of a reception when the main noise maker isn't on hand for the real ceremonies. Strikes us as being like a circus without a calliope. Newspapering Womqn rTH'ODAY is women's day. Men will step aside and ■*- let the co-ed have her say, to make or break as she sees fit. For today the newspaper women of the campus will step into the editor's shoes, the managing edi tor's, the day editors’, the reporters’, the night edi tors’ and put out the Emerald. Every man on the editorial staff will take an enforced vacation while the women try their hand at issuing the paper. If tomorrow morning's paper has a feminine touch to the sports stories, or has feminine reasoning in the editorials blame it on the climbing sex. If it is full of light, frothy ad jectives and feminine superlatives credit it to them. It is’ with mixed pleasure and forebodings that we turn over the reins of the paper to their hands. Today is woman’s chance to play her journalistic hand and show whether she is superior or inferior to man in the newspaper game. Watch these col umns in the morning to find out what women think about the way things are run here at the Univer sity. Ladies . . . allow us . . . our editorial chair. . . . Robots of Ford TTENRY FORD is a specialist. He puts one man to work doing- one thing, like threading a bolt, and keeps him doing that one task until he be comes an expert. That is why Ford can pay seven dollar-a-day minimum wages and sell cars cheaper than anyone else. Henry Ford is going to specialize even more. He is going to create schools in factories. Under plans he is now formulating, pupils will be engaged in making products which they will use themselves or which will become parts of other marketable commodities. Academic subjects will receive attention, but emphasis in his system will be placed more on ac complishment. Ford is a practlcalist. "It isn’t what they know that counts, it's what they can do. Knowledge doesn't amount to anything. It is achievement that is worth while," he holds. He ended his discussion on his new factory training school by saying that few students grad uated from schools and colleges are prepared to do any definite thing. Henry Ford should know. He is the richest man in the world and what rich men say usually carries a lot of weight with the great unwashed- and with a good many who aren't in that class. He overstated himself when he said college grad uates are not prepared to do any definite thing. True their knowledge is not narrowed down only to knowing how to operate a trip hammer that puts dents in fenders- or puts bolts on lire rims. A graduate who measured up to the Fordian stand ards would be an automaton. He runs his business that way- specialized- and would have colleges turn out narrowly specialized students, able to do only one thing. We have respect for Ford—anyone who has amassed the gold he ha3 commands some respect— but if Ford's Utopia of specialization is reached, colleges might just as well close up their cultural educational shops and secondary schools abandon their aim3 of providing the student exploration of many fields. Students won’t need an education. Scholarship F acts IT might be well to notice some of the outstand ing facts which were revealed by the grade sheet issued yesterday for fall term scholastic work. , Sororities far outranked fraternities. Women students outranked men students. Sorority women ranked higher than non-sorority women. Non-fraternity men ranked higher than frater nity men. The average for all men in the University was higher than the fraternity average. The average for all women in the University was lower than the sorority average. Here are figures that favor dormitory life for men; figures that favor women living in sororities and disfavor the organization of men in fraterni ties; figures that prove the superiority of women over men so far as grades are concerned—the all men average being nine points below the all-women average. Patron Lists "EATNNESOTA invited Paul Whiteman, Zez Con ■*•*-*- frey, Ted Lewis and other famed orchestra men to play for the junior ball, knowing all the time they probably would not accept the offer. A parallel case at Oregon is the putting of a lot of state notables on dance patron lists. We’re waiting for some enterprising patron chairman to send let ters to Lindy, Hoover, .1. P. Morgan, Scarface A1 Capone, Mussolini, and Kai-Shek and then print their names in the programs. “I have been enrolled in the University for eleven years”—Emerald Forum letter from Day Foster. And still he has no junior certificate. Have you filled out an Emerald reader-interest questionnaire yet? p‘ --- --— —"—if! Oreganized Dementia EBl 1 |» .. .. . ... i .. ■■ .. ...-,--— THE LAB ASSISTANT’S REVENGE Free Murder Day dawned bright and clear. In viting little daisies and pansies over the campus turned their faces toward Lhe rising sun. “The English prof is a louse,” said Horace, fin gering the long list of names. "That fresh bunny that sits next to me in econ is another. And let’s see—here’s Alice. She busted a date with me the other night her filthy soul. And then the chem lab assistant. Ha! That’s the baby.” Lives on , Floor Horace tore up the list. Then he looked into the planer’s guide and found that the assistant lived On the top floor of the dorm. Knowing better than to take any unneces sary risks, Horace disguised himself as a Mon golian medicine man by throwing the rug over his shoulder. He met others on the streets similarly disguised. The campus was as vari gated in appeuranee as a mass meeting in heaven, except that everybody, including little Horace, carried guns or axes. Honor System Works Such was Free Murder Day, held every junior week-end on the campus for the purpose of ex terminating human pests. Students and faculty were privileged to commit one murder each without fear of legal penalty. Because of the honor sys tem, of course no student had ever bagged more than his lawful limit. Ducking an occasional bullet or axe, Horace made his way to the lab assistant’s room. “Come in,” said the lab assistant. Horace Questions Self ”1 don’t know whether to kill you with this axe or to throw you out the window,” said Horace, who had a way of coming directly to the point—which probably accounts for his con sistent five average. Tlie lab assistant turned green with guilt. There was a broken baseball bat on tbe floor beside him, and Horace knew the lab assistant had been to work early this beautiful morning, and that he was on his tumor to murder no one else. “Horace-" began the lab assistant in that superior lab assistant air of his. But Horace was a desperate man. Revenge was eating at his heart. He raised the axe. "I beseech you,” said tlie assistant falling to his corded knees. “As a point of honor. Honor, Horace, honor —” Hair Red The axe wavered; the steady arm of Horace \\-as shaking. His beautiful red head sank to his manly chest. He was a beaten man. Horace was thwarted, undone. “1 can't do it," he said. “I'll have to kill you with the chair.” Horace picked up the chair and brought it down on his roommate’s head that is, he woke tip just as the chair was about to strike the lab assistant. The roommate li\od, tint Horace had to cut a chemistry quiz section to carry him to the infirmary, and as a result, flunked the course.

It is a queer, rambling little brown structure, perilously near the environs of high education, near enough, in truth, to constitute a serious men ace to class attendance, sobriety, and, inevitably, grades. It boasts too many attractions, unparalleled by the University . . . Here in iis lounging room, which curiously enough bears a startling resemblance to padded horse-stalls, one may sit warm I' ed by the clvivial cheer of cof fees, or cokes, and loll away lotus laden hours of dreaming. Here are love-affairs consum mated, flirtations perpetrated, lessons learned, books read, re views written, and precious hours wasted. In the seventeenth century in trigues—social, political, and per sonal were conceived and carried to conclusions in the famous com fee-houses of the day. Believe no more the adage, “the old order! changeth ...” For changes it does not. Rather, indeed, are the affairs of our society confined al most exclusively to the -. Stand once and watch classes dismiss. All our bright-faced lads and lassies; do they turn, with no more ado, and study for their next class? You know they don’t. Rather they wend, with a single impulse, their var ious and collective ways to their coffee house. There it is pleasant to fill one’s lungs with smoke, one's stomach with coffee, and one’s ears with chatter . . . the while trumping one’s partner’s ace and trying to steal one’s brother’s best girl. Lovely situation. VVhat would we do without it? Our loves, < our lives* our money, all these spent here. It is a place for ar gumentation, for relaxation . . . Welladay!
