ONE of the greatest aides to convenience on the campus is the annual student directory, commonly known as the “piggers' guide.’’ For the benefit of students who are new on the campus, it might be said that this book contains names, occupations, and phone numbers of every individual connected with the University of Oregon. This year a record has been set. The directory has been placed on the market only one week following the close of registration. This date is much earlier than the book has been issued in previous years, which fact, obviously, adds much to the convenience of stu dents and faculty. At the beginning of each school year “citizens” of the University are less acquainted and feel the need of some such introduction. This year the directory has been published at a most logical time and we are congratulating officials for their speedy work. Dressed in bright red, the book is of a higher type. University local phone numbers are listed; in fact, the entire exchange book is duplicated. The directory is paid for in part by advertising sold to down-town merchants. The Emerald feels that this is more of a convenience than detriment to the appearance of the book. Also funds secured from this source will dispense with a deficit expe rienced in former years. , Consult the directory and get acquainted. Pitfalls For Independents TODAY we are going to be honest with ourselves. Today we are not going to boost a plan which we think may be effected into something very worthwhile. Instead, we are going to sit tight on the side-lines and watch. An organization for independent men on the campus is pro posed, and we think it a very good thing. Social unity is desired for these men, and we desire that, too. Conflict with established organizations plays no part in the plan, and we wish it to play no part. But like starting anything of value, starting such an organiza tion will have hard sledding. First of the obstructions will be the jealousy of those who themselves have recognized the need, hut who subconsciously have so much pictured Lhemselves as the origi nators that they doubt the ability of others. First pitfall will be the discouraging experience of leaders, who will sometimes find their own fire unmirrored in the members. A rpembcrless meeting or two may too early invite abandonment. First danger will be merging of interests and personnel with some other group such as the Y. \I. C. A., which, though excellent in itself, has not the same problems. Subordination might be fatal. And last, but ot most general import, will be ttie suspicion prevalent among students that such an organization will play its most important part with its vole in campus politics. There may be no evil in that, but as a motive it would be sure to be frowned upon. So today we are honest with ourselves and with the men who are calling the independent meeting. We believe their purpose ex cellent, but their path rough. If they succeed they will have done much good; if they fail they will have done much harm. Since ou^ approval is confined to ttie purpose, we cannot applaud the under taking until it is complete. But best wishes! Who said that Oregon men and women didn’t yell- at the game Saturday? Who said that they didn't sei the streets alive with spirit? Who said that Oregon’s attitude wasn't right? Nobody! Said the hare to the pack of dogs close to his heels: "Oh, could I only be Johnny Kitzmiller for one small moment.” The Sigma Nu siren has disappeared. Three guesses where it lias gone. From Our Neighbors Ol U OK1SOON KKOTI1KKS This college and the University of Oregon have been friendly rivals for as lung as both institutions have existed and a spirit of good natured but sensible competition grew up to give spice to tlie ath letic and other contests between the two schools. Such competition is healthy unless carried beyond the bounds of sportsmanship. In the last several years both student bodies have at times gone past these limits of gentlemanly conduct, but such acts have not expressed the sentiments of many persons of either group. Radicals of both institutions have at tempted to show real college spir it by perpetuating acts of vandalism and poor taste, but these students are far from tiue representatives of their schools. George Cherry, president of the Oregon student body, and Vinton Halt, editor of the Oregon Daily Emerald, recently conferred with | George Knutson, our student I prexy, and an executive of the Barometer, regarding relations be tween the two institutions. The four talked over problems of their student bodies in a spirit of real friendship and cooperation, Instea I of trying to express the sentiment of the student officers, we are reprinting an editorial from the Emerald which we be lieve shows the spirit of Oregon and Oregon State excellently. We know the editorial is sincere and that petty controversies will have no place in the student ad ministration of either school In stead, an attitude of cooperation and brotherhood will be shown this year and as long as the Oregdu The Safety Valve An Outlet for Campus Stearti To the Kditor: As I sat in the stands Saturday afternoon and watched with two score thousand others the band men of the Washington game, I was struck by the contrast be tween the two musical organiza tions. At one end of the field there was r "’.ash of color marking the pleasing appearance of the Wash ington hand, and at the other a somber nass relieved only by the outland h white busby atop the rigid head by the drum major which represented Oregon. What has become of the old green and yellow uniforms ? There i 1 .. . was even some doubt as t6 the merits of the old suits, -hut I feel that they were infinitely better than those presented Saturday for at least the band was then the liv ing' embodiment of the Oregon col ors. If the Oregon band is worth training and worth presenting at athletic contests, then certainly it in worthy of uniforms bearing out a motif in harmony with and as an abetment, to the spirit of the school. Would Oregon students rather see the band playing “Mighty Oregon’’ in khaki or in green and yellow? The military uniforms have their place on the drill field, but they do not belong on the athletic field where color, not drabness, must be used to meet color. MERLIN BLAIS.

Sun still shines , And skies are blue; Hunt a new sweetheart For old Sigma Nil. Creech comes tripping in with till' indignant statement that it was a fire whistle, not a Lorelei. Well, if that’s the ease, we’ll have to alter our original senti ment as follows: They've got the heat, They need the whistle; When Stadelman reads this, Won't he bristle ?

Tut, tut, you little rascals, we saw you. , Week-end's favorite criticism: anti Oregon State student bodies j progress. The Barometer, as spokesman for the Associated Students of O. S. C., wishes to thank Oregon's I leaders for their helpfulness and j encouragement and to extend to | the University warmest wishes for j a successful year in all that it un I dertakes. j This paper feels sure that the | Oregon State student body as a whole will follow the attitude of its leaders in its contacts with the University, and that a repetition of a "strained relations" feeling is almost impossible with such a spirit existing.

As a bit of clever rushing they got their picture in the paper with their contraption which was a cross be tween a fire truck and a float rep resenting the spirits of Liberty (belle and all). Which reminds me of their new sweetheart song: “Will you come back to me, Phi Psi for you.” TODAY’S HYMN OF HATE Of all the guys I really hate, Page Augustus Clay McCail; Concerning YVhoope Says, “Be like me, And you'll never get in jail.” IN OTHER WORDS, CHIL DREN, YOU MUST NEVER STEAL GRAPES OR FLIRT WITH A POLICEMAN'S WIFE. People are wondering how much the A. T. O.’s paid “Slug” Palmer to sing in their trio at the Para mount. The Kappa Sigs really ought to protest because good rushing mediums like that aren’t so plentiful these days that they can afford to he lending them gratis to the other tongs. Poor little Nicholas!
