To Stick by Guns
rr>HE power of rumor has often asserted itself and many times
caused trouble that would otherwise have never sprung up.
Add to rumors the power of newspaper writers to arouse readers
of daily papers and you have what might easily be called a
"mess.”
Daily newspapers up and down the coast have printed col
umns about the possibility of Dr. Clarence W. Spears leaving
his post as head football coach at Oregon to accept a similar
position at the University of California- these papers have
printed all of these "dope” stories merely on rumors and one
leading morning paper demands in an editorial that Spears
clearly state his position.
Gossip has also been much in evidence on the Oregon campus
as to the possibilities of Spears' leaving here and nobody seems
to know just how the whole matter will end.
Spears, in response to an inquiry from the Emerald, wired
from Los Angeles, where lie is attending the Pacific Coast con
ference meeting, that there was absolutely no foundation to the
reports received here that he was considering the California posi
tion. The contract he has witli Oregon extends for another four
years and local authorities state that it is binding upon both
parties.
Surely the hard-working football coach would not send a
message of denial to the student daily unless it was true in
• every respect knowing Dr. Spears as we do, we are certain
that he will stick by his guns here, and those guns promise to
have plenty of power next year.
More Students Think
•^T'ESTERDAY we mentioned that young- folks of today, espe
ciully college students, were spending more time in active
thought about what was going on in the world about them
than did their ancestors.
Today comes the question from the University Daily Kansan:
“Why don't American college students discuss vital questions
more than they do?”
The editor of the Kansas publication believes that the student
in the American college has little time to devote to thought
along the more substantial line, lie condemns the fraternities
anti sororities, student activities, parties, and dates for consum
ing so much time. Perhaps they use considerable of the student's
time, but that the time wasted by many of the students is
sufficient to allow them to indulge in affairs outside their sphere
is quite likely.
The Kansan asks why “students are so provincial, so wrapped
up in their own little campuses, their own friends, their own
pleasure." It is highly probable that college men and women
differ. Too, the attitude may be different on other eampi.
Previously we have spoken in generalities stated that col
lege students and young folks in the modern generation are
doing more thinking. Now we shall center ourselves at the Uni
versity of Oregon, which, in all probability, is somewhat different
than the University of Kansas.
A definite division of thinkers is evidenced, but it is impos
sible for anyone to learn exactly what the ratio between these
divisions may be. Some students rarely read a state or city
newspaper, and, quite obviously, no basis for the formation of
ideas can be found. Some students find great pleasure in glean
ing the newspaper for features, crime stories, and the comics,
but seldom do they read an article of national or international
interest. Other students read on world questions, study them
in their classrooms, and enjoy their discussion among friends.
We believe the latter the larger group.
Don't condemn the pleasures of college because serious
thought seems to fade. Just remember there is still time for
both.
The Harvard Crimson comments on a test made upon the
amount of "bluffing" done bv students. It was found that col
lege students bluffed more than the uneducated people. Perhaps
we can attribute this to the know-it-all attitude folks claim col
lege students possess.
In a desperate attempt to instill fiery spirit into the souls
of the entire student body at U. S. C before the game with
Notre Dame today, one hour ha beeu allotted for a pep rally.
Abe Lyman will lead the rallyer , v. ith his baud.

H. G. Townsend, professor of phi
losophy, is chairman. This lecture
is to be the first of a series given
by eminent men who have been
invited to come here by the com
mittee.
Preceding his lecture, Dr. Urban
will be honor guest at a dinner

Uniforming of R.O.T.C.
Completed, Says Prouty
All the students in the R. O. T.
C. are now provided with the reg
ulation military uniform used in
the organization, says Lieutenant
E. S. Prouty, assistant professor
of military science. A shipment of
uniforms has recently been receiv
ed at the barracks to make up for
the deficiency which existed at the
first of the term.
According to Lieutenant Prouty,
the shortage was caused partly by
the unusual sizes needed for some
of the men, who could not be fit
ted from the stock of uniforms on
hand. Several of the students re
quired outfits made especially for
them.
Dr. Seashore Represents
Oregon at Iowa Conclave

Reference Book
Describes Forts
History Source Received
By Department
A valuable reference source for
the subject of history of the Pa
cific Northwest has been received,
according to Dr. R. C. Clark, head |
of the history department. The j
book is "Historic Forts and Trad-1
ing Posts,” written by Ernest j
Voorhis, of the department of the j
interior in Ottawa, Canada.
The book gives the names, his- !
tories, and dates of the founding
of all forts ever established by |
French or British fur companies in j
North America. The list also in
cludes all those along the Pacific
coast from California to Alaska.
“It is interesting to know,” Dr.
Clark said, "that some of these old
forts still exist in their original
form. Fort Kamlooks, which is lo
cated just over the border of the
United States in Canada on the
Thompson river, is still in exist
ence and it was founded by one of
the Astor men in 1812.”
The forts mentioned in Oregon
and Washington include: Fort As
toria or Fort George, Fort Van
couver, Fort Umpqua, Fort Walla
Walla, Fort Colvilee, Fort Okan
aga, Fort Boise, Fort Hall, Fort
Spokane and Fort Flathead.
Blue print maps in the book
give the exact location of all the
posts and forts.

In answer to this argument we
reply that our opponents are mis
