Hail Piggers’ Guide!
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!

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

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.
