DU. CLARENCE W. SPEARS arrives today
They are going to stage a big rally when he
gets on the campus. The whole student, body has
been asked to turn out. One notices a paradox
joy evidenced when an expensive new present ar
rives in the mail, or when a football coach arrives.
Spears has the cards in his favor to start with.
Everyone is convinced lie knows his football, the
fans, the students, the players.
lie is bringing something new with him in his
plans for spring practice. Athletes hate dull, routine
practice, so he is going to pick several teams from
his squad and let them scrimmage, teaching them
what he wants to tench them while they are play
ing. A good idea. A good starter
Oregon will be Dr. Spears’ new laboratory. He
will try Ills athletic formulas and apply his scientific
mind to the new problems at hand, to see if he can
reproduce the reactions which greeted his efforts
in the east. His materials and apparatus arc
strange and he will have to get used to them before
he can expect his laboratory work to measure up
to past results.
Students will raise their voices today when the
new coach arrives to express their confidence in him
as an experimentalist. There will be yell leaders tc
see to that. Later will be a pep rally at the Igloo
and a banquet. Reception committees of town and
gown will see to that.
And when night falls Oregon’s coach will have
been welcomed, feted, and feasted. Another page
in the school’s athletic history will be turned and a
pen placed in Dr. Spears’ hand his to make or mar.
Orcgonisms
rpODAY being the 198th anniversary of the
birthday of George Washington, who as a boy
never warped a fact or stretched a point, it is only
fitting ami proper that I he Emerald commemorate
the occasion with some Washingtonisms on campus
subjects.
A Washingtonism, for the benefit of those who
do not know, is an accepted fable which no one
believes, like his cherry tree chop. (With apologies
to Rupert Hughes). These Washingtonisms are in
the nature of a enmpus credo
That co-eds have better minds than men be
cause they get higher grades.
That Captain John .1. McEwan left Oregon be
cause he did not get along with the University
spokesman.
•That Oregon needs a football stadium.
That the recent Oregon-O. A. C. sportsman
ship row resulted in the creation of a fine spirit of
sportsmanship in every rooter.
That most college men are "culls” and guzzle
moon.
That paddling frosh on the library steps in
still'; in them a great desire to obey traditions.
That American college students should build
dormitories for Bulgarian students.
That the most valuable advertising medium
u university lias is its football team.
That no one reads liie inside pages of I lie
Emerald. (Publicity hounds note).
That college students like to attend rallies and
root for their teams.
That it means a lot to be elected a class
officer.
1 rue Love Obituaries
'"I 'RUE love is dead. Doubtful? Here Is indubit
-*• able evidence picked up at random from the
public press:
FRANCE Love is nothing more than a con
tagious disease, says a French professor. He ad
vises people to shun it as they would smallpox.
MEXICO Because of atrocious treatment by
their wives, men of Vera Cruz have formed a Syn
dicate for the Protection of Oppressed Husbands.
GKRMANY Love is a lot of sentimental bosh
manufactured by drunken poets and insane lyricists.
Back to sanity. Away with love, urges a German
scientist.
RUSSIA Family dissension is becoming in
creasingly dominant in Russian family life, says
Dr. Leibovlteh, of the Moscow Institute of Crimin
ology. In 1929 there were 150,000 fist fights • be
tween husband') and wives wfiich were sufficiently
violent to attract police attention.
ENGLAND Mrs. Bertrand Russell, wife of the
radical-pacifist, denounces marriage. "It is nothing
! hut abject submission to tyranny," she asserts.
UNITED STATES Eastern husband condemns
: giving high school girls rifle practice on the grounds
that "the husband is the only common target of the
| modern woman.”
H. L. Mencken declares that marriages are being
i more and more based on financial and social stand
i ings and less and less on romance.

— In There F* ighting
'T'HE SOPHOMORE class is going to give an in
! •*- formal campus dance next Friday, not as a
j money-making idea primarily, but to keep the class
organized and on its toes. The Emerald is glad to
see it.
In past years the function of sophomores was, to
paddle the frosh in the fall term parade, put on an
informal dance, and spend the rest of the year in
the cracker-barrel league,
This year, under the leadership (that’s the word >
of Jack Stipe, the sophomores are trying to keep
alive the class spirit and prepare themselves for
the job of being juniors, a much bigger task than
being a second-year man. They gave a class ban
quet the other night. They’re planning more.
They're in there fighting.
Better elect one man with the activity of the
present sophomore president than a whole cumber
some list of class officials with big titles and little
jobs. The constitutional remodelling committee
might think this over.
Birthdays seldom proved exciting for George
Washington, we are told. Rupert Hughes would
blame it on the fact there was no prohibition in
George’s day and the biggest kick out of drinking
his birthday toast was thinking of the next day’s
hangover.
College c'o-eds eat more than college men, says
an Ohio Wesleyan university coffee-shop owner. If
they do not actually eat more, their bills for meals
art. larger, he amends. Looks like this reducing
fail was mostly newspaper talk.
Collegiate flivvers and other bits of automotive
wreckage are being campaigned against by a na
tional automobile association because they are un
safe. What’s unsafe about a car that won't go
faster than 30 miles an hour?
Stanford students are said to be after the scalp
of their basketball coach, Husky Hunt. Basketball
tastes football's medicine.
This isr open season for swiping someone else’s
slit leer.

Oh, whore, oh, where, huve we heard this

Dear Alice:
I am getting along even much nicer than X
hought I would, dear, You perhaps recall vaguely
some of my high school idiosyncracies, (that is a
void we use down here when We mean personal
'ardenciest well they are “getting over in a big

It is too l>a<l you could not conic to college.
We arc all so happy here. Everybody on the
campus are friends, dust like one big family.

day. Zounds! that is a great thing. I wager
(bet) I will get to shine shoes, next year. One
does queer things at the college, you nil! uiuler

You would get over big here, honey. (I mean
you would be popular. Comprehend?) When I
hi ilt of how dumb I was last year before I came
town here, I am simply nauseated (ashamed.)
It may not interest you; but just the same, I
heard that Christopher Merely (he is an author)
writes blase work that is superficial. We get critical
that way down here at school. Try to read him (I
mean to convey, read his book) some day.
I rather expect io lie pledging (joining) a
1 irge fraternity soon. I have not, however,
chosen the one most suitable yet, however. 1
may be forced to “pig” (date, that is, go out
i lth co-eds, or girls) but I shall not forget your
i vt rente interest bigness, Alice.
While it Is true that I did not make the
basketball team because of the fact that 1 hurt
iay ankle to some extent, it is quite certain
that I did garner (absorb, learn) a number of
tricks of ample sufficiency to somehow “show

“A railroad is in effect a public
utility, but economists place it in
a separate category. The differ
ences between a public utility and
a railroad are, first, that public
utilities are subject to state regu

to control by t>j national govern

a public utility are more stable
than those of a railroad.”

ANY OPINIONS? ....
-By OLIVER POLITICOS
That section of the judiciary re
port which gives the sole power of
hilling or furthering judicial action
to the student president remains
unchanged because since the re
port has been turned in there has
been no general meeting of the
committee. Whether it will be
changed in the whole committee
may depend on whether students
want it changed- and whether
they VOICE their opinions.
* * *
Of course there are several
students, many indeed, who com
plain of this and that (mainly
of student taxes) without ever
trying to understand the situa
tions which exist and which may
develop. It is probably from
them that the present constitu
tion takes all power but the
right to vote, and delegates it
to the executive council and its
committees.
And there are others who com
plain and try to remedy circum
stances who act, sometimes
rightly, sometimes wrongly. The
Moving Finger would believe that
the judiciary sub-committee, in
trying to remedy circumstances,
has made a mistake in giving the
president (or any group) the
power to decide which cases shall
come before the judicial body and
which shall net. The Moving
Finger would believe that it is un
fair to the aggrieved persons, that
it allows too much room for per
sonal favoritism and politics, and
that, finally, there is slight need
for such a judiciary AS PRO
POSED.
* * *
The Moving Finger may he
wrong. It may be right. It i3
certain, though, that campus
opinion will influence the gen
eral committee in its decision as
nothing else will. Before it
voices its opinion it should form
one—hut tliut does not relieve it
from voicing it.

Foundations of Structure
Being Laid This Week
Preliminary construction work
began yesterday on the memorial
court of the Prince L. Campbell '
fine arts museum. The court,
which will be 60 feet long and 35
feet wide, is to be on the east
front of the main building.
While the workmen are laying
the foundations of the structure,
Richard W. Bock, professor of
sculpture, and his staff of assist
ants are completing the designs
and models for the ornamental
pieces which will adorn the court.
When completed, these models will
serve as patterns for the carving
of the designs into Bedford lime
stone, which, Mr. Bock stated, is
very serviceable and very beauti
ful architectural material.
