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.

CRITIC PRAISES FIRST
GUILD PLAY SHOWING
(Continued from l’ugc One)
tion. 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.”

WE WANT TO PLAY
To the Editor:
We want more basketballs!
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 ?

Women Invited To Book

Matilda was a beautiful tele

telephone operator for five years.
One day a big follies producer saw
Matilda. “Little gal,” sez he, “can
you sing?”
“Can I sing?” she sez. “Don’t
you suppose I ever take a bath?”
“Can you dance?” he sez, twirl
ing his mustache.
“Can I dance?” she sez. "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. She
went out and sang. She was fired.
She couldn’t forget her early train

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.

WORLD
It looms up large in their lives
The telephone h:is ;i big place in the daily lives
of most people today, but its place will be even
bugger tomorrow.
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.
For men with a leaning toward sales pro
motion, the opportunity is there!
