'Investigator No. 2 TT’S a bad year for “investigators.” Two weeks ago campus "*■ sentiment flared up when Jonathan A. Butler, commissioner for the Pacific Coast conference, let it be known he had infor mation cpjestioning the eligibility of Joe Lillard for intercolle giate athletics. Now comes another "investigator” with a disturbing report— but this time it is an attack on health and food conditions here, but one so unfounded in the light of the present state of affairs that the campus takes it quite lightly. Dr. Barbara Beattie (and just who she is no one seems to know) writes in the November issue of Good Housekeeping magazine on "College Girls and College Doctors.” In her article she says: "The most sensational and inexplicable thing that I found was six cases of smallpox at the University of Oregon.” True, there was a minor outbreak of the disease here two and one-half years ago, and it mqst have been at that time that Dr. Beattie visited the campus. But here is where Dr. Beattie gives Oregon the worst of the deal. She fails to say that since then there has been not a single case of smallpox at Oregon. The writer goes on to take another crack at Oregon in this way: "At the University of Oregon I lunched on macaroni, dried beans, cabbage salad, bread, tea and cookies.” Again she fails to give the whole story. Where did she get this luncheon? At the dormitory? So it would seem from the contents of the article. Scripps college's dorm meals come in for very favorable com ment from Dr. Beattie. Yet does she realize that their director, Mrs. Edna Prescott Davis, was in charge of Oregon's dorms when she visited here ? Could Oregon’s meals have been so very bad when they were prepared under the direction of the same woman who is so highly praised in one paragraph and equally censured in another? It seems very illogical to us. Well, who will be "Investigator” No. d? A Whale of a Fuss! Tl yf'cCOOL’S whale, or Ethelbert in more common usage, is **■ dead. Thank goodness! All that remains now is for some Portland court to find the killers of the whale guilty on some trumped-up charge or other and to dispose of the remains of the sea creature. The case of Ethelbert is a strange one indeed. The stroke of fate that sent the young killer whale up the Columbia river to Portland was only the first of the misfortunes of the animal that finally ended in its death. A stop in Astoria or St. Helens could have ended happily, with Ethelbert getting away without a scratch. Fishermen of the sea would hardly get hysterical over finding a twelve-and-a-half-foot fish in their front yard. True, they might have killed the fish, but it would have hap pened so suddenly that Ethelbert wouldn't have suffered over much and the humane society wouldn’t even have heard about it. But a stop in Portland is another matter. After wandering about like a lost soul m Portland waters for a few days, with thousands of people looking on with joy at his efforts to escape, Ethelbert suddenly meets his death at the hands of a harpooner. It seems that Ethelbert was sick unto death already. Only the poor marksmanship of Portland gunmen had allowed him to live so long anyway. But to meet death at the bands of a harpoon without the sanction of humane society officials is a terrible thing in Portland. Somehow, we can summon no tears over the fate of Ethel bert. Killer whales are vicious scavengers of the sea who live by tearing out in huge chunks the tongues of the larger whales. They plunder without discrimination and fear not man or beast. For one to meet death in such a strange fashion need not call for our sympathy. On the other hand, if we are one to make a great show of our sportsmanship and tender regard for dumb animals, we need not weep over Ethelbert. There is nothing cruel in patting out of his misery a creature so completely out of his element. And Ethelbert did die like a true whale fighting to the last. How humiliating it would have been for the proud killer of the sea to meet his death at the hands of those seeking to ease him into another world by humane methods! Better to die at the en i of a harpoon. Whales in heaven would hardly welcome one who had been traitor to all the'traditions of the sea! LEMON ♦ ♦ PALOOKA Oh-oh-oh!

And now we have another report from Little Irvin. Dear Lemon Palooka:— This is a report on the Pie Reta Pie house on Stifteenth and Stin kaid streets. This house impresses me as hav ing a lot of money. Platinum is a valuable commodity especially if it is platinum blonde. The gang here has one scholar ship staff to lean on in the person of Lucy Pow. It is surmised they need it. For some reason I noticed an ex cess of curtains on the north win dows. The reason is inexplicable but maybe they feared some of the horses in the barn across the street. Noise is the chief thing for which this outfit is noted. Here is an ex ample : A well known professor, Ur. Ue I Bust, was lecturing in a room on the third floor of Condon hall when he was disturbed by a commotion in the street below. “Is that,” the excellent man in quired, “a street fight or just the Pie Pie's?” Truly when all the faculty knows so much about the organization, is I there any need for me to continue. | Yours sincerely, ) Little Irvin, Vigilance Committee.
