Where Princeton, Yale and Har vard once contributed practically all the members to the all-American teams, now the West is grad ually coming to the fore. Games in the Middle West and Pacific coast attract huge crowds rivaling the best turnouts of the East. Coaches are moving west. Especially is this last trend apparent since the signing of Phelan by Washington and Spears by Oregon. The West is taking its football more seriously than the At lantic seaboard. We are tempted to say “too seri ously.” A girding for a tremendous fray in the coast conference is going on. Washington’s Phelan ar rived in Seattle and was welcomed by a defeat-tired student body. He brought with him It coterie of all-American assistant coaches and spring practice will start with five ex-Middle West players and coaches superintending the Huskies on the gridiron. Oregon will match Phelan’s move, rumor has It, by taking Billy Reinhart und Prink Callison off varsity and freshman baseball and adding them to Spears’ spring football coaching staff, raising its personnel to five. Gene Shields and John O’Brien, newly-signed, complete the list. Universities In the South are also bolstering up their coaching staffs, as if seeing the ominous war-clouds rolling up In the North. Having five full-time coaches working daily on spring football practice seems to be adding insult to injury on those who attack the over-emphasis of football in the college. It is a salient fact that placing such importance on spring practice Is a radical move. Whether the results will justify the means is problematic. Certain it is that with five full-time top-notch coaches on the job, football will cost Oregon and Washington a tidy sum this spring, what with equipment and other expenses. Class Meetings NINE HUNDRED students called together to endorse the lighting scheme of a dance; an entire class asked to judge whether one type of feature is preferable to another in a traditional entertainment; special meetings to approve lists of patrons and patronesses. That too often has occurred in Villard hall and in the other buildings commonly used for class meetings. And the officers complain because the expected nine hundred dwindle to nine, because the entire class gives way to the committees in charge, because there is slight interest in the patrons. And the functions of classes are termed decadent. When the classes learn to give complete au thority in business routine to their representatives, and when the officers learn to exercise their initi ative without submitting every detail to a but slightly interested class, then the offices will take on a little worth as well as glory. Most of all, the class members will feel their interests vastly more at stake when they hold the officers responsible for results and judge upon those results. For Blind and Deaf ESTABLISHMENT of a department of the Uni versity library for the blind should not be con strued as a move to get more students at and more appropriations for the University. It should be, and is, primarily a progressive step toward the higher education of those permanently handicapped. The legislature of the state of Oregon should recognize that. It has already recognized the value of such education in its maintenance of schools for the blind and deaf ut the state capital. It should not confine them to the lower grades. Nor should the University, in its call for more adequate preparation for one group of those handi capped forget the deaf. A few years ago, accord ing to incomplete information at hand, the only college for the deaf in the country was at Wash- 1 ington, D. C. No hurried steps are expected, but it would be a welcome asset to society to have higher school ing made possible in Oregon. Whether such aid would be granted the state college or the Univer sity is incidental, for the need is not that of the schools but of the blind and deaf. The reason the co-feds take more time to dress than the college men is that they have to go slow around the curves. Idaho Argonaut. "Brains are sexless,” says a woman debater for Oregon, in speaking of women in industry. Some times one sex or both seems brainless. Harvard has a club called the Hasty Pudding club. They must be the boys who eat breakfast at 7:55 and make their 8 o’clocks. A sorority back at Nebraska will offer kisses for sale at the Cornhusker carnival, we learn. It shouldn't be hard to "offer” them. Oregon is showing better sportsmanship. When they lost botii ends of the dual debate, no one booed the judge. Sf - , - - .-.m Oreganized Dementia a. „------..-a SCENARIO SCENE I. TIME: AUGUST A place that looks something like a lumber yard. It is hot. You can see the heat waves rising from the docks. The hero is wandering around in a pair of high boots, wool socks, and a .blazer that is buttoned up to his chin. Villain arrives in ear with top down. He wears an overcoat., a muffler, and has his cap pulled down over Ids ears. The heroine is in the ear also. She must be warm-blooded, be cause she doesn’t even wear a coat. Villain -Why don't you go to college, Ned? Hero- I guess I will, cousin Oswold. Villain—Lend me some dough. The hero goes to college because he likes the looks of the co-ed in the car, whom he glimpses from a distance of 50 yards. “She must be a fine, healthy girl,” he says to himself, "because she doesn't get pneumonia in this cold August weather.” * * * SCENE II: CAMPUS “That’s the Administration building,” says a sophomore to Ned, pointing from the old library to the Delta Comma house just down the street. “You can register there.” Ned carries suitcases around campus for a while trying to find a place to register. Stu dents are too busy going to classes to pay much attention to him, but lie finally succeeds in locating Ad building, which is hid behind a couple of hushes. "I've absolutely no reason at all for doing this,” says Oswold to the heroine. "I guess I’m just wicked, that’s all. I want you to make a monkey out of my cousin.” “I’ll do ’er,” says the heroine, and she docs, caus ing him to receive a world-record puddling of 00 swals on the library steps for busting some tradi tions. But Ned can make a fiddle sound like a melo dious troupe of syncopating cats, the audience is led to believe. He loves to go out in the brush in the middle of the night like the campus prowler to play it. It consoles his temperament. The hero ine cries every time she hears him play. One evening she leans out of the sorority house window, and with a romantic gesture, Inflates her little lungs and blows her handker chief at him from off her hand. The dainty thing travels halfway across the big yard and nestles in the grass, where he picks it up and gallops off with It. Although the heroine doesn’t know It, be cause Oswald takes all the credit, Ned saves her from drowning in the mill race, and helps her girl friend resuscitate her by laying her on her Irnck and pulling off one of her stockings. As was mentioned before, Oswald is wicked. For that reason, he has it in-for Tom, one of the star track men. The dean of men, who has a wild, scared look in his sad. handsome face when he advises undergraduates, owns a big glass marble >f which he is very fond. Oswald swipes this marble and plants Tom's pocketbook at the scene of the robbery. Tom is placed on probation, but because of the fact that Tom could make Lowry, who couldn’t do any better than !*.4 in tin; 100, and I’rendergast, who stumbled the distance in 10 flat, look like a couple of plow horses, Ned feels that it is his duty to get the marble from Os woUl and take the blame himself, so that Ore gon would have a chance in the big meet. It is hard to tell how the meet comes out, but It’s a cinch that the campus thinks Ned is a snake. ■•yep, Ned,” says Oswold ns he climbs on the train after confessing to his heinous deeds, and after Ned has identified himself as the Prowling; Fiddler by playing a sorrowful piece at a women s tea-party to which the heroine has invited him, "I'm going up in the hills and jump in a buzz saw. Maybe it'll make me act like you do. Remember, my dear cousin, always be kind, truthful, virtuous, and above all, study hard. I’m glad you won the girl." Ned doesn’t kiss the heroine, but maybe he will some day, 1 Life is Like That— By Nels Nelson A u? \ ^0^ * C^° __ ^ f\V¥ / \,\V'e • /// , OliU '’** Fine // PAIRDON ME// iVe a PSVc’ exam ro STofy fOR/ r~"~—*• • —**—————a Listening In On Lectures f Gi.-—-.—..—is Women tell everything except their ages—Timothy Cloran.

The person on the other end of the line answered- "Can I speak to Doc Robnett ?” he asked. "Hello, Doc. How about a handball game? Okay? Fine.” He hung up. What’s wrong with calling up the assistant graduate manager for a handball gamer Nothing.! No, sir, not even when he’s sit ting in the room next to you, not three feet on the other side of the plaster. Lest this give the readers the wrong impression, let us state that Tom Stoddard is not usually inclined to labor-saving devices such as this. Big wide grin and neatly parted hair, Stoddard would compare fa vorably with any past student body pr^jdents in a beauty con test, sponsored by the Emerald or any other paper. Stoddard’s rise from the ranks began when he “spotted” shanties and fences for the frosh bonfire when he was a freshman. That was the first year they held the bonfire on the butte and Stod dard got a cold reception in his first attempt at student activities —the mercury was way, way down and riding a truck was no fun. Since then he has been on any number of campus committees and this year is vice-president of Phi Delta Theta as well as stu dent prexy. TOM STODDARD “All my relatives have been lumbermen as far back as I can trace,” he declared, and was just launching into a laudatory ac count of Modoc Point, where he lives summers, when we left.
