To You, Executive Council TRUSTING the future success of their own class honorary to more experienced bodies on the campus, officials of the sophomore class have spoken in behalf of their classmates and requested that a group of outstanding upperclassmen be appointed to make a recommenda tion to the executive council for the charter membership of the new underclass group. Obviously this action is wise. Avoidance of political play and direct deliberation on the qualifications of each individual will pro duce a group of sophomores whose record and future possibilities put him in a position to be deserving. THESE MEMBERS MUST BE THE "CREAM" OF THE SOPH OMORE CLASS. THE OFFICIAL GROUP SHOULD NOT BESTOW THE HONOR UPON ANY STUDENT WHO DOES NOT COM MAND THE HONOR AND RESPECT OF HIS CLASSMATES. No end is there to the good an effective organization such as the one directly ahead can do for the University of Oregon. Pri marily it will provide a goal toward which every entering student shall aim as the leading honor during his underclass years. Tangible work which the group may accomplish in the way of suggestions to the associated students and the Unlver.^y administration has no limit. When the initial group is formed, give them free reign let them operate toward their own ideas. Future members of the group should he selected by those men who shall soon be appointed by that capable and proficient group—the executive council. A Vice-President Speaks FOF their failure to muzzle the editor of the Daily Californian, student newspaper, the vice-president of another southern school assailed heads of the University of California recently. The student editor had made charges. Those charges are ignored. Instead, a university vice-president complains because an undergrad uate himself first complained- with charges that university football Is rotten. When the Carnegie foundation report on proselyting of athletes was made public last year, the vice-president's resentment did not make news. Probably he did not mind at all that report, but it does hurt if charges are brought home. At Oregon we cannot know the truth of those charges, but neither can we sympathize with the reasoning which denies even a hearing to the questions asked by the Californian's editor. That those questions should be asked immediately after California was jro overwhelmingly defeated in a football game we consider un fortunate because that defeat may preclude calm judgment. But to the right of the Daily Californian to question football organization in other schools, in every coast conference school, in Oregon itself, we can see no objection. For Oregon, as yet object of no serious challenges, the problem is that right of students to investi gate student problems. ♦ CAMPI NEAR AND FAR ♦ No longer will College Humor be allowed to reprint from publi cations of the Western Association of College Comics.

Helen Mielke, as Julia, her father’s daughter, was sweet enough while safe in port, and quite fine in her lack of warmth after the storm. Addison Brockman, as Ned, who spends most of his time in wine, is a very kind bloat. Mr. Seton, the practical man who is intended to die some day of excessive stu r pidity, is quite nicely done by Emery, Erwin Hyde, but he must be still much more formidable be fore he can quench Linda’s spirit by walking into the room. The comedy of “Holiday” is composed of the spirit of play, 1 done well together by Linda and \ Johnny, by the Potters—Jean Wil liams and Donald Confrey who are merry and gay like approach ing Christmas. Sanford Platt and Norma Jacobs, as the Crams, roll in like fog. Very dull and very nice baiting too. The sort of peo ple who are not quite bright, but with whom you can have lots of fun. Their blankness is convinc ing. We should be grateful to the "Holiday” workers for having pro duce^ entertainment so smooth' and so early, what with the Santa Clauses not in the department stores yet. Various Opinions Given on Contest Beauty Display Is Pleasing To Some; Others Not Beauty contest? Several mem bers of the male population of the University scowled and scratched their heads as they indulged in deep, lusty thought. Each came to a decision. But alas! Not one agreed! "This contest is a great idea,” said Cliff Potter, junior in eco nomics. "Now freshmen, coming into the University, will know whom to call for a date. It is good advertisement for the Uni versity and I’m all for it.” "Not having seen the contest, I feel that I am not a capable judge of the affair and cannot pass fa vorable or unfavorable comment upon it. I will say, though, that it is an effective stimulus for at tracting student notice of Health week,” said Harry Tonkon, senior in the school of business adminis tration. “When the University of Oregon turns its attention toward the shapeliness of a woman’s limbs and the proportions of her back,” stated Charles Roberts, sophomore in economics, “I'll petition for a transfer to another school.” The Safety Valve An Outlet for Campus Steam All communications arc to be ad ulressed to The Editor, Oregon Daily Emerald.

Lovers of the honest sport of basketball often find it impossible to labor at their favorite pastime at the men’s gym because of an 1 unexplainable scarcity of balls. It! seems that out of the $12 gym fee i new students pay into the physi cal education department only enough was saved out this year to buy two basketballs. To add to the difficulty of the maple court, devotee, these two balls are | pressed into use and taken to Mc Arthur court on various occasions, thereby making it impossible for! the applicant at the men’s gym to go through his usual gymnastics. Now this writer is no newcomer to the campus. He remembers how in former years there were always plenty of balls—how the dear old game of roughneck bas ketball found its place on the gym floor nearly every afternoon of the year. We don’t ask for roughneck basketball, even now—we are re actionary only in the respect that we love our game and would like to have a chance to play it when ever we wish. How about it, Washke ?

"I can dance like a toad on a hot rock.” “You’re hired,” he gurgles. She was on her way to become a great star. Everyone said so. She went great. On the opening night the house was jammed.

Taylor’s Driv-Ur-Self “Between the Two Hotels” Burt Broivn Barker Shows Pictures Taken in Europe French Club Hears Vice President Explain Own Films Motion pictures showing the stu dent life in Europe which were taken this summer by Burt Brown Barker, vice-president of the Uni versity, were shown at the meet ing of Le Circle Fraincois, Wed nesday evening at the Kappa Al pha Theta house. Mr. Barker explained the pic tures as they were shown and gave his impressions of the student life in different countries of Europe. George Godfrey, director of public relations, assisted by running the machine. Speaking of Germany, he said that the student life is character ized by the “corps” which corre spond to the American fraternity groups, except that they have no specific houses but hold their meet ings in the public cafes. “There is no place in the world v/here there is an idea of educa tion similar to the French,” Mr. Barker said. He further said that in France there are two kinds of classes—the open and the closed. The open classes are free to any one who wishes to attend, and many of the older people do at tend. While in America we want to get through the university, get it over with, and forget it, the op posite is true in France, he added. Mr. Barker said that the Eng lish idea of education was to make an English gentleman. Besides pictures of the Euro pean campi, he showed some pic tures of Oberammergau, of the flea (junk) market and the bird market in Paris, and picturesque German villages. Mr. Barker told about the for eign student quarter of the Uni versity of Paris. France built a group of administration buildings and invited each nation to erect a building for its own students to live in while attending the Univer sity of Paris. The American build ing, which was largely financed by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., has 200 rooms. The price of a room is $8 a month, and a breakfast is served for 7 cents. A social half-hour at which ev oryone spoke in French was held after the showing of the films. R. O. Clark Receives Story Of Oregon Pioneer Days “Recollections of the Rickreall,” a book published by Koke-Chap man company of Eugene, has been presented to Dr. R. C.

It re counts the story of the emigra tions of 1843 and 1844 in which people crowded the plains to Ore gon and tells of their subsequent years of settlement, hardship and establishment of homes. The book is well bound and con tains illustrations of the Goff house near Rickreall, Polk county, in 1895; Nesmith house near Rick reall; and Princess Mary, photo graphed at Salem in 1895.

Its importance has been fostered by the work of men in all phases of the telephone business and no little part has been taken by those en gaged in selling. They have helped to effect an increase- of more than three and a half mil lion Bell telephones in the last five years. In the same period they have been instrumental in making the public realize more completely the telephone’s usefulness. Result: an in crease from 49,000,000 calls per day to 65,000,000.
