THE executive council last night, assumed responsibility, exercised its right as supreme body of the associated students and deal! out punishment to three members of the student body for what they believed to be a violation of a gentleman's agreement. Rally leaders and the managing editor of the Emerald were placed on activities probation for inciting a student demonstration which disrupted classes Friday morning before a football game. Wisely enough the executive council is fulfilling its duties in handling aftairs which fall directly under its jurisdiction. An ex tremely difficult problem to deal with, a problem which has grown tremendously in importance in the eyes of the council with furthered deliberation, but which is appraised less seriously by the University students, has been solved and marked down in the records of the associated students as history. The three students may not, during winter term, render assistance to the student body. A violation of confidence lias given the executive council suf ficient grounds to inflict the punishment upon two of the rally leaders, although this decision is antagonistic to the more lenient policy sug gested recently by the Emerald. If, as reported, the yell king and the rally chairman agreed with the student relations committee in a meeting only the night before that classes would not be disturbed on that Friday morning, we waive our suggestion. The case of the managing editor of the Emerald strikes us as different. Here action, it seems, should have been confined to disci pline within the organization of the publication itself. Instead he has been lifted by kite strings and deposited in a limbo of probation beyond reach of Emerald officials. He was uot present at the meeting when the pledge, later violated, was given; his duties prohibited his attendance, and he had no knowledge that any such promise had been made. Reports printed by him seemed official they came from the rally heads. An unintentionally provocative heading written on the rally announcement constitutes his offense yet lie suffers pven more than those for whose action there seems less excuse. Should there be no discrimination between a wrong committed intentioftally and one so unintentional? After The Battle, Mother- - NOW that the home football season is over and student body tickets are no longer to be regarded as the basic currency of campus exchange, we can look at them in a new light. After the battle come the bouquets, and we wish to commend and congratulate the graduate manager's staff upon the excellence of the associated students' concert series it has just announced for this year. All holders ol student tickets can look forward to attend ing without charge five concerts of a type which would attract much attention in the musical capitals of the world. Maier and Pattison are undisputed masters of the two-piano field; Florence Austral, soprano, and Nathan Milstein, violinist, are at the very top of their respective fields. The Portland Symphony orchestra always attracts a large student audience, and the students are scarcely less appreciative of the unusually fine work of the University Bym jJhony orchestra and the University Glee clubs. Several years ago the student body voted to add the sum of seventy-five cents to the term fees to finance an annual concert series. This is a bright page in the history of the associated students, and it is to be regretted that more students do not take advantage of their earned opportunity to attend the concerts. But the series for this year can hardly fail to attract capacity crowds to McArthur court. It is far and away the best that has ever been scheduled. Congratulations and thanks, graduate manager and assistants. Demo Chief Says Party Is Nbt Wet headline. But just ask a Republican leader. The \ eneta socialist candidate who used only lit cents in his campaign for labor commissioner, and that by giving away gum. . . . Shucks, there ought to be some wise crack in that, but we can't think of any. Campus prowlers have nothing on the Eugene police force. The city council has authorized a prowler ear for use throughout the city. Bo much better than bicycles during this cold weather! After Arthur Arlett, once deposed editor of the Daily Californian, agreed to run r statement daily that his opinions were not repre sentative of the U. C. executive committee, he was reinstated. That wasn't a concession; it was a privilege. With Other Editors J“lU(iV FI NUKUS So-called student body "leaders” fit the Univei sity of Califoniia, quaking for fear that the recent editorial campaign of The Daily Californian concerning the uthleti' situation 1 here might be construed as authorized by them have seen lit to place a censorship on the Californian. Although The Daily hr. been content to watch the recent charges ami counter-charges be tween California and University of Southern California only as an in terested spectator, this pitiful at tempt to muzzle the student press comes as an admittance that 1’res ident Stern Altshuler and his Cali fornia executive committee mem bers are purely politicians endeav oring to further their own end and not those of the students of j University of California. The Daily, it must be remem bered, does not take a stand one way or the other on the recent controversy aroused by editorials printed in The Californian. The issue at stake is the censor ship of the press. Editor Arthur Arlett, who is to be commended for saying what he had to say in spite of opposition, had a perfect right to print what he believed to be legitimate editorial opinion. Cense-’ ! ip of the student press would result in such feeble jour nalistic efforts that it would be needless to call universities as ex ponents of liberal and free thought. The Daily condemns the action of the California executive com mittee and hopes the censorship will be removed as hastily as it was applied. The Stanford Daily.

DYNAMITE By T. N. TAYLOR COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 23.— j (Special) Who ever started the ■ idea; “out in the West where men are men,” was all wet, according to T. D. Kelley, senior editor ,»f the Cornell Daily Sun, who was surprised to hear that in western schools women are given equal chance with the men in campus politics, publications, and other activities. * * * ’“Women don’t have any stand ing on our campus,” Kelley smil ed. “We figure that Cornell was originally a man’s school and should he a man’s school, there fore, we don’t want women and refuse to let them have any part in campus activities. They don’t rate at all with any of the fra ternities on the campus.” * * # As Cornell the student body never gathers as a group for social functions, Kelley said. Each fra ternity has a house party every term to which women are invited from other colleges and nearby towns, but rarely any of the local co-eds. These house parties last an entire week-end, the men giv ing up their house to the women guests. The entertainment runs night and day, Kelley said, “and “by the time a house party breaks up you’re about as badly bent in more than one way.” Dances at a house party are usually sched uled for 11 p. m. to 4 a. m., but on most occasions they last all : night, according to the Cornell daily editor. “The Oregon Daily Emerald is a nice little sheet,” Kelley said. I read almost every issue and cer- ^ tainly get bang out of the features. ' Wish our paper could use more of 1 that light stuff.” The Cornell Daily Sun, although run by the Cornell chapter of Sig- ■ nta Delta Chi and members of the student body, is the local town | daily. Profits from the paper are divided by the editorial staff. The editor's salary for the year runs between $1,500 and $2,500, the Cor r.ellian student states. * * * The size of the Cornell daily varies from C to 18 pages. A news service is used extensively to fill the paper. “In fact we use it too much,” Kelley admit ted. Reporters have no definite heats, each reporter is simply limited by the extent of his imagination. “It does mean con siderable duplication,” the editor agreed, hut it’s good training in that it makes a reporter hustle if he intends to keep on the staff.” The year is divided into periods of six weeks and a con test runs for each period. The winner is promoted to the upper news staff, or “pay” end of the paper, and the contest goes ruthlessly on. To win a place on the upper news staff means plen ty of hard work, Kelley said. * * * Kelley was interested in the fact that Oregon students can attend the University for a whole year on $900 or less. ‘‘It costs me about $3,000 a year. I managed to get by on $2,200 one year, but it was a terrible strain,” the Cornell stu dent said. Fees at Cornell run be tween $400 and $500. “But then, Cornell is well known throughout the country, whereas few people have ever heard of the University of Oregon; no insult intended, but just an excuse for our high fees.” Dr. Clark Writes Book on Life of William P. Lord The biography of William Paine Lord, Oregon judge and ex-gover nor, has just been completed by Dr. R. C. Clark and sent to be add ed in the Dictionary of American Biography. In 1868 Mr. Lord took up law practice at Salem. Later he served as a city attorney in this city and in 1878 as a state senator, and as justice of the state supreme court from 1880 to 1894. William Lord served also, as governor of the state from 1895 to 1899.

INN i Kt t t IONN ON BEHAVIOR WHILE VI’ HOME In order to keep up with the hots and girls from Oregon Mote who will be back in the borne town tor the Thanksgiving holidays, it is absolutely imperative that every sludeul do his or iter level best to tie collegiate to the extreme. One of the duet requisites is dress. The proper garb should consist of a rooter’s lid, a yellow slicker with a two-foot green "O'’ or duck on the back of it, one slightly used pipe, a stock of col legiate phrases, and a swagger which consists of hunching the shoulders and dragging the feet. Greet all the boys with a big slap on the back, and then break into a University yell. * * * BE DEMOCRATIC—Take out all the high school sheik’s girls, just to show that you’re still the same old guy. Tell them all about school and then kid them on being young, just to show that you have not lost your sense of humor. # * * BE HELPFUL Tell them what is wrong with their dress. Quietly correct them bv telling them what we do up here at the U. Criti cize their little mannerisms, just to show them that they are rather nonsensical. They will appreciate it. Walk into the local business men and proffer them suggestions on how to run their business, ac Get Your • Holiday Shine Here A Brilliant Lustre A Lasting Surface Campus Shoe Shine Across from Sigma Clii cording to new ideas that you have gained here at school. Ask them why the town doesn’t progress and tell them what a dead hole it is. This is to incite them to improve conditions. They may resent this at first, of course, but they will later thank you for it. BE EDUCATIONAL—Toll them all about the life in the Univer sity, the glories of your fraternity, and all the bids you turned down. Uazx the high school for not put ting out the football teams they had when you were a student. La ment the fact that all the good people that ever went to high school have graduated. This will spur them to greater things. These rules for behavior, if fol lowed with unction, will increase any college student's popularity in his old home town manifold and will conclusively prove to . them that we aren’t the heels that they imagine. * * * VERSE, VERS UK, VEKSEST Sing a song of space Glaring, empty and white, A wild-eyed editor yelling, "Space must be filled tonight."

STOP BAWLING To the Editor: To the student basketball play ers who continue to address com munications to the Emerald which they end with the defiant tone: ! “How about it, Washke?” let us ! say that in spite of the good they may be attempting to do, the fact still remains that the task they impose on the director of the men’s gym is well nigh impossible. The great difficulty that the gym faces is lack of space. Let us remind the correspondents of that, j And what can be done to relieve ' the cramped conditions of the ! men’s gym unless a new building be erected on the campus. With that possibility far off in the fu ture it appears to us as if the com munications were merely wasting i their efforts on a cause which is granted to be a worthy one but futile. i Since a new gym can not be built at this time to aid Mr. Washke’s program of gym classes and in struction there is only one sensible thing to do—stop bawling about balls and take up* some other gym activity. The physical education school still offers swimming, hand ball, track, golf, soccer, and other specialties. If basketball is not available in the desired quantity and cannot be increased, let’s stop discussing the matter.—W. D.

College Side INN Fifteen Skeletons Unearthed Near Town of Gold Hill An ancient Indian burial ground lying across the Rogue from the straggling lfttle town of Gold Hill, Oregon, has been the scene of sev eral recent excavations by Dr. L. S. Cressman, professor of sociol ogy. The work is being done as a part of general research in Ore gon archaeology. About 15 skeletons have been found in varying stages of preser vation. The moist sand in which the burials have been made has caused almost complete decompo sition in the majority of the bur ials. These excavations have un earthed eight obsidian knives vary ing from six to thirteen inches in length. Two were buried with each corpse. This means that some corpses were buried with- no ac companying knives, Dr. Cressman states. Knives and pipes had been previously unearthed by the for mer owner of the field in which the mound lies. “There is no way at present to fix even the approximate date of the burials, but the complete ab sence of any signs of the white man’s culture indicates that the people from whom these dead have come occupied the land long be *&**!&* ft* 'll* FOll Thanksgiving EAT AT THE Oregana Confectionery * * + + * -f T * f *■ I * * * * $ 4* Special Starting today, and a It or this every Tuesday and Friday for one month, we are offering the following specials: Croquinole Permanent Wave—$5 Finger Wave—75c Manicure—50c Marcel—75c MODEL BEAUTY SHOP fore the coming of the white man, Dr. Cressman said.
