A Cry From Wilderness
THE voice of one crying in the wilderness over the "line of petty
personalities and slanderous gossip” which was heard on the
Emerald of the Air last Sunday night was not raised in vain. We
heard it and we listened attentively, ft is printed in this issue.
Previously we have told the public that the radio hour every
Thursday and Sunday was primarily for the University and the
associated students. We might add now, Mr. McCormick, that sta
tion KORE has a radius of approximately one-sixth of that pro
pounded in your radical epistle, and in the event that people of
Eugene's community do not care to harken back to the days when
they attended school, listening in is not compulsory.
Granting that the initial chapter of "parlor propaganda” was
in a large part extemporaneous an attempt will be made in the
future to enact a broader scope that fewer living organizations will
be overlooked. The Emerald agrees that centralized publicity and
the alleged dirty "campus dirt” will be curbed and censored for each
program.
For all those who were offended during the Emerald radio hour
last Sunday evening and all those who fear that in the future they,
top, may be embarrassed, the Emerald of the Air apologizes and
asks that the names be sent in and a definite quietus will be placed
on them.
For our correspondent, Mr. McCormick, we would like to re
mind him again that the hour is definitely for University students,
that the station has an exceedingly small radius due to federal reg
ulation, and that the Emerald of the Air apologizes for overlooking
his name last Sunday.
Amicus O. S. C.
FRIENDSHIP is the greatest succor to progress. Without friend
ship advancement and well-being would be only visionary, to
gain friends contacts must be made, and to sustain amity a spirit
of co-operat-ion must be in constant existence.
Between two neighboring institutions of higher learning a
spirited feeling of rivalry is a natural existence. Live-wire students
with pep, enthusiasm, and loyalty to their own school cannot sub
sist without it. It is life and we do not and would not want to
destroy it.
Yet instances have been brought to light of hatred born from
this rivalry. Even physical encounters anil dealings with person
alities are remnants of earlier times. Remember the old Calford
spirit where the opposing school was always an enemy ? They
would be mobbed, razzed and ridiculed. We laughed at them
called the pictures absurd, high-sehoollsh, and ultra-collegiate.
We will speak of the University of Oregon and Oregon State
college. Modern institutions of the present day are made up of
men and women students who are broad-minded, sincere, and gen
tlemanly. They are anxious to advance and are working for the
progress of their school. One of the most valuable factors for the
furtherance of the institution is, as with the individual who wants
to climb, the co-operative and friendly spirit which could be and
will be built up between the schools.
For the tirst time on record in the history of the University of
Oregon, student body officials of the respective schools have con
ferred primarily for the purpose of creating congeniality between
themselves and their institutions. Last Sunday, A. S. U. O. Presi
dent George Cherry and a representative of the Oregon Daily Em
erald exchanged ideas, advice, and friendship with George Knutsen,
president of the associated students, and Larry Warren, editor of
the Barometer, on the Oregon State college campus.
Destruction of a lasting rivalry, creation of fellowship, and the
organization of a new and more human spirit between the neigh
bors would be a welcomed revolution to the modern student in each
school. It will be the aim of the Emerald to forward this co-opera
tive movement. Students on the University campus who are not
the narrow-minded, conceited, smartalecky type will join whole
heartedly.
Oregon State students are fellow-workmen all grasping at
higher ideals as are members of A. S. U. O. Many of them are
natives of Oregon attend the school best fitted to suit their needs.
They pay their registration fees, pledge fraternities and sororities,
and hate to get up for their 8 o'clocks exactly as does the Oregon
student. Oregon State college officers are men of the highest type.
They enjoy their work, are fair, and willing to work co-ordinately
with their neighboring association.
For the present year and for years ahead the Emerald wishes
progress, advancement, and the best of luck to Oregon State college.
The Marines Tell It
ii?t■'ELL it to the marines."
Long enough have the marines heard that expression,
which has been flung back and forth in American repartee for
years. Today the marines tell it.
In the concerts this afternoon and evening the baud will say
it in brass at McArthur court What they will toll is up to stu
dents and Eugene people to find out, but this is what the Morning
Oregonian says of them;
"The Marine band does not have to depend upon this notable
record for its high standing. For many years it has been regarded
as one of the best, if not the best, band in the United States, »The
audience that heard it in Portland fully appreciated its worth and
demonstrated that approval during its two concerts in this city.
Playing neither heavy nor light music exclusively, it selected pro
grams that appealed to all who heard it. It represents perfection
m band music.”
After tonight, it seems possible, music-lovers of Eugene will
never say, “Tell it to the marines"; but. instead, "Let the Marines
tell n."

THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION
SCHOOL
(This is the second of a series
of articles dealing with the var
ious prototypes and general char
acteristics of the scholars in the
schools and departments on the
campus.)
In this school one can take a re
freshing voyage back to the days
ot our primeval ancestors and
study at his leisure the complete
victory of brawn over gray mat
ter. If you wish to see specimens
of the body beautiful, and witness
the idyllic return to the physical,
perfection of ancient Greece, why
just walk into the physical ed of
fice and cast your eye over the
magnificent males sprawled about.
Even in the coldest of weather
these apolloesque persons refuse to
wear any more clothing than the
law allows. Just rubbing it in on
some of the rest of us who cringe
about with our No. 14 collar bands
and 2-inch chest expansion.
If you see a colossus like male
striding about the campus with
hair uncombed, an "O” on his
sweater, and his shirt open at the
neck, exposing the luxuriant
growth of manly hair, ten to one
he’s a P. E. major. Ii he hasn't
the “O" on his sweater, he is prob
ably a pianp mover, or else a sec
tion foreman taking in the sights.
Some of these men haven't seen
the interior of a bathtub for ten
years. Not that they don’t bathe,
but they take ice cold showers the
year round or else frequent the
tank. Athlete's foot is at present
sn eastern luxury and hasn’t
lound its way to the west yet, but
the P. E. school has its gym itch,
not quite as fashionable, to be
sure, but serves the purpose just
as well.
Phi Betes are not plentiful in
this department, but you will find
a smattering of them. It is ru
mored that, to uphold the dignity
of the department, they subsidize
them from other departments, but
this is becoming more and more
difficult, inasmuch as prospective
Phi Betes with No. 12 shoes, 18
collar bands and 6-inch chest ex
pansion are rare and, as everyone
knows, these are necessary requi
sites for entrance to the P. E.
school.

To the Editor:
May I raise the voice of one cry
ing in the wilderness against the
radio program which was present
ed on the “Emerald of the Air”
hour over KORE Sunday evening?
Laying aside all comments on
the merits of the "musical” pro
gram which was presented, I will \
confine my criticism to the banal- i
ities of the “campus dirt” dialogue
which was interspersed with the
song and dance acts." A line of pet
ty personalities and slanderous'
gossip such as was thrown into i
the microphone by three prominent
Oregon students might be condon
ed and excused if the audience had
been confined to University stu
dents. But when one considers that
KORE 'has a broadcasting range of >
four or five hundred miles and that \

probably fifty to a hundredthous- 1
end people, of all kinds and classes,
were listening in, it is inexcusible.
The great majority of the listen
ers were not at all interested in
what Oregon students were step
ping out on their steady girls,—
which ones were being initiated to
the mysteries of “tea-dates,”—
which pledge dances and which
serenades had been the roughest;
and toughest, nor in the proper in
flection for the last word of "Chi
Psi Lodge.”
“All the campus dirt, the dirtier
the better,” were terms freely used
by the program announcers. These j
of course, tend to give listening cit- i
izens a splendid conception of the
cultural levels of our student body! i
Such a line of chatter over the
radio is, furthermore, a swinish
snuffling into personal affairs. Un
der the law a radio broadcast is
‘publication” as much as a news
paper item: witness the sad case
of Robert Duncan, now on trial at
Medford.
It is a shame that radio broad
casting; potentially a splendid
propaganda tool for the Univer
sity, should be prostituted in the
eyes of the general public to vin
dictive personalities and misplaced
conception of wit.
Fumingly yours,
—DON McCORMICK.
