One-Day Dads?
DADS of Oiegon who came to the University campus Saturday
for the Oregon Dad's Day carried home with them an impres
sion of the University which must have been a composite of the
football game, requests for money, registration arm-bands, dancing,
speeches, and good-feeling. In that composite their own sons and
daughters must have fitted strangely.
To the more than 3,000 Dads who will receive a copy of today’s
Emerald we want not only to slate our appreciation of their visit
and to extend a further invitation but to remind them that the
University means more than that which they saw distorted in their
short stay here.
The University has something to offer which we, in even four
years, do not always comprehend. And our problems are those
which we must meet when- there are no Dads at school with us,
our entertainments are with friends whose understanding is not. so
deep as that with our Dads, our successes and failures return to
us alone.
It is wise to keep in touch with us, Dads, for no matter how
much we longed to break away from home, we still like to think
of it as backing us. That is what we have always wanted, anyway
-—our homes backing us, not behind us. Going is not so easy if
we cannot always be sure of that..
Dad’s Day was a great day; we are glad you came. But we
w’ant you to remember that any day and every day that Dad visits
us or writes to i^s is a still greater Dad’s Day. There is no regis
tration then, for you registered long ago. There are no speeches
then, lor we know our Dads. We want only to keep on knowing
you.
Three Live Toads
((IITHAT do you know about natural history?” says the scientist
from Washington.
“Come on down to Oklahoma and see for yourself!” retorts
the archeologist.
And all over the intriguing question: "Can a toad live 300
years ?"
J. B. Thoburn, curator of the Oklahoma Historical society, re
cently announced the discovery in an Indian mound near Gate,
Oklahoma, of three live toads which he estimates have been buried
there not less than 300 years.
A New York Times correspondent asked Dr. Remington Kel
logg, of the Museum of Natural History staff at. Washington, D. C.,
what his opinion is regarding these interesting amphibians of the
species Bufo Americanus.
“Just another of the old toad traditions in the same category
as ‘pick up a toad and you’ll get warts’ or ‘step on a toad and it’s
sure to rain,'” the scientist declared. "They’re probably of the
family 'bufo compact ills,’ the burrowing toads, which go under
ground every year just before the frost strikes, burrowing down
backwards to great depths, the dirt falling in over their heads as
they go. They remain in a state of suspended animation for some
time, but not for any 300 years.
"But then, you can't expect all archeologists to be experts in
natural history.”
Such controversies among men of learning, similar to the argu
ments between the philosophers of ancient Greece, are a strain on
the faith of laymen in the omniscience of science.
We would be much more content if our scientists would con
cern themselves with the method by which about a third of the
university students we know remain in their “state of suspended
animation” during four or five years cn the campus. Are they of
the species “Buffoon Americanos" ?
Not many communities the size of the University will have had
Bailey, Meier, Metsehan. and Streiff address them before the elec
tions. We almost feel important, because they were anxious to
do it.
Conscientious readers of the editorial headlines have remon
strated because we suggested that there might have been 35,000
drunks at the Portland game. Doesn't that leave 326 sober ones?
The anti-cigarette amendment won't get much support from
University men and women if it is true that there were 13,000.000
violations of existing tobacco laws on the campus last year.
It is better to meet God with an ear-trumpet than an orchestra,
declares a minister of this state. But, unemployment being what it
is, wo must think of the poor musicians.
Now if Oregon State will only upset Washington State in their
game, Bell field won’t hold half of the crowd for their homecoming
game with Oregon.
Has anyone else noticed how long the flies are lingering in the
campus buildings? Why not me some of our vaunted scientific
knowledge ?

Dear Editor:
I have a suggestion to make for
the remedy of the evil of the lend
ing student body tickets to out
side people. Why not eliminate the
season ticket altogether and
charge admission at the gate. That
would be more business-like. Then
if a “stude” got generous he could
pull a little cash out of his own
picket. The same amount of mon
ey would come in because most
loyal Or gon students go every
game. 1 ere would bo an actual
increase in the gate receipts from
the fans hecause of the fact that
some will be unable to get student,
body tickets from the students.
Sincerely,
BLAYNE BREWER.
